Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Is My Saber on You?

Before nightfall.

Two women are quickly leaving the Tianyin Sect’s territory.

They have made quite a haul this time.

And they have offended three people, two at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and one at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

The early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators are from other sects, and the mid-stage one is from Tianyin Sect.

They are not immediately concerned about the other sects, but Tianyin Sect poses a certain danger.

Therefore, after gathering enough resources, leaving becomes a top priority.

“Nothing will happen, right?” Hong Lai asks with some worry.

At this moment, she was a woman with short hair.

Li Fei, on the other hand, was a woman with long, enchanting hair.

“So much time has passed, if that person had something to do, they would have come looking for us already,” Li Fei said with a shake of his head and a smile.

“Besides, even if that person really did send someone after us, they’d have to be able to find us. Over the years, we’ve deceived countless people with this trick. Even those at the Golden Core stage couldn’t pinpoint our location accurately, let alone someone in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.”

“And from his demeanor, he doesn’t have the aura of a true disciple. He seems like the kind of person who wouldn’t dare to draw attention to himself. There’s no danger.”

“That’s true, but the way that person left was too calm, as if they were powerless, yet I always felt they were holding back, and he was the wealthiest we’ve encountered,” Hong Lai said with a shake of his head and a sigh.

He felt he was being overly sensitive.

“By the looks of it, he should have some talent in talisman making, having some spirit stones is to be expected, don’t overthink it. Even if he’s holding back, what of it?” Li Fei said dismissively.

“A mere mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can’t stir up any trouble. By the time he advances, we’ll already be at the Golden Core stage. We’ll be worlds apart, and if he really comes after us then, one strike will be enough to wipe him out. There’s no need to worry about a Foundation Establishment…”

Huh?

Just as Li Fei was about to continue, his perspective suddenly changed.

What he saw was Hong Lai’s face covered in blood, looking at him in horror.

At that moment, he vaguely saw a man with a saber standing behind him, and he was struck by a blade…

After that, there was silence.

Watching Li Fei’s head separate from her body, Hong Lai looked around in terror and asked.

“Who’s there?”

Thud!

A saber pierced through Hong Lai’s body from behind.

A cold sensation overcame him.

He tried to unleash his power, but to his horror, he discovered his internal organs were being rapidly destroyed.

With a gush, he spat out blood, completely unaware of who was attacking him.

“Senior, whatever you want, we can give it to you,” he pleaded.

“Is my saber on you?” came a cold voice from behind.

In an instant, Hong Lai remembered the way Jiang Hao had looked when he left.

They had succeeded in deceiving others countless times, but one failure meant paying with their lives.

Another long saber sliced across his neck, and the cold voice came again:

“Don’t trouble yourself, I’ll take it myself.”

In his terror, Hong Lai completely lost his voice.

He was just one step away from reaching the Golden Core stage.

After confirming the two were dead, Jiang Hao took the valuables.

He didn’t bother to clean up the bodies.

Outer sect disciples, the Hall of Enforcement wouldn’t investigate.)

Otherwise, he would have had to be more cautious.

……

During the night.

In his room, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged on the bed, examining the storage treasures.

What he saw were pills, talismans, and a mess of array flags.

“Only three hundred spirit stones left, ten Healing Talismans, and the Hundred Thousand Swords Talismans I gave them,” Jiang Hao sighed as he looked at the items:

“It’s a pity they were all exchanged for pills.”

He needed pills for his cultivation, but not those for the Foundation Establishment level.

Comparatively speaking, these two were quite wealthy.

The most valuable item in the two’s possessions was probably that long saber.

Jiang Hao swung it a couple of times, and it felt good in his hand.

After some thought, he decided to keep the name ‘Half-Moon’ for the saber; it would be convenient to have a consistent name for each saber he would use in the future, as he expected to change them frequently.

Putting away the saber, he took out a six-sided iron block.

The iron block was only the size of a fingernail, and upon close inspection, it had six blank faces.

“Is this the treasure that changed their appearances? It doesn’t look simple.”

With that thought, he activated his divine power to identify it.

【Six-Sided Dice: A luck-based treasure. Each roll absorbs a portion of the owner’s luck and grants a new face, providing a perfect disguise, difficult to detect.】

Reading the description, Jiang Hao decided against using it.

This treasure was like a death omen.

The absorption of luck would definitely have a significant impact, and even if it wouldn’t affect him in the long term, it could cause short-term misfortune.

That the two had used it for so long without incident was quite remarkable.

He put it away for now, as it might have other uses in the future.

The next day.

Jiang Hao went to the courtyard to collect energy bubbles.

【Vital Energy+1】

【Cultivation+1】

【Spirit+1】

The blue lotus and snow lotus could provide some energy bubbles.

The blue lotus gathered spiritual energy, and now the spiritual energy in the courtyard was much stronger than before.

Especially with the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower present, the entire courtyard was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

Other floral scents seemed nonexistent in comparison.

At this moment, the rabbit was still lying next to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, staring intently.

“Are you watching it all the time?” Jiang Hao asked as he approached.

“This is the master’s flower; of course, I have to keep an eye on it,” the rabbit said, patting its chest.

He might have believed it if the rabbit hadn’t been drooling all the time.

A deceitful beast rabbit, full of lies.

As soon as he arrived at the Spiritual Medicine Garden, the rabbit immediately started calling out:

“Master, it was that woman who was looking for you last time. Master, you really have a way with women. When are you going to eat her?”

“I don’t eat people,” Jiang Hao replied.

“But last time you said she eats people,” the rabbit said with a tremble in its heart.

That might be true, Jiang Hao thought as he looked at Fairy Ming Yi.

A candidate for the Saintess of Tiansheng Sect, she was definitely more dangerous than Yan Hua, even if she was only at the early stage of Golden Core.

“Junior Brother, long time no see. I was worried you might have had an accident when I heard you went to the mines,” Fairy Ming Yi approached Jiang Hao with a gentle smile.
