Chapter 744: Meeting An Old Friend Again After Surpassing Him
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xiao Li carried the beast with her and arrived at the Law Enforcement Peak.
âBeast, what should I do later?â
For her first task, Jiang Hao had specifically instructed her not to cause trouble for others.
So, she had to ask the beast.
âThey are all friends. Just mention Lord Beastâs name, and they will show you respect,â said the beast confidently.
âIf I donât do well, will they complain to Senior Brother Jiang?â Xiao Li asked.
During her time in the outer sect, people often ran to Senior Brother Jiang to complain about her.
âThese friends are discreet and wonât complain,â said the beast with a mouthful of carrots.
âReally? In the village, people used to complain to my parents. Father even hit me once. He said we shouldnât eat other peopleâs things or stare at them while they eat.â Xiao Li pouted. âLater, Father stopped hitting me. Even when I found branches for him, he didnât hit me. He said I had grown up, and he couldnât bear to hit me again.â
âDoes the Master hit you?â the beast asked.
âHe did. Once when I sneaked out, Senior Brother Jiang knocked me on my head,â Xiao Li said.
It was the first time they met in the sect.
The beast didnât pay much attention to this. âDo the demons in Devilâs Den live a comfortable life?â
Xiao Li shook her head.
Before long, they arrived at the meeting point.
Xiao Li saw four people. There were two men and two women.
Three of them seemed somewhat familiar, while one looked very pale.
She immediately walked forward with the best. âHello, Iâm Xiao Li. This is
Beast. â
She even lifted the beast a bit.
Zheng Shijiu looked at them and couldnât help but sigh inwardly.
âA Golden Core demon?â
âIâms was Jlang Haoâs pet, and everyone Knew lt. But tney didnât expect It to accompany Xiao Li.
They all realized that Xiao Liâs relationship with Jiang Hao was extraordinary.
âWho is Junior Brother Jiang Hao to you?â asked Yue You.
âHuh? Senior Brother Jiang is my brother, â said Xiao Li after thinking for a moment. âHe is my elder brother.â
âElder brother?â Xin Yuyue was somewhat surprised. âDid you take his surname?â
âYes.â Xiao Li nodded.
âNow that everyone is here, letâs set off. Junior Sister Xiao Li has the lowest cultivation realm, so take care of her,â Zheng Shijiu said.
The others didnât have any objections, especially since they had just reconciled with each other.
Duan Yu had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had no objections either.
A middle-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator had sought him out a few days before. How could he dare to have any objections?
After that, the five of them flew on their swords.
âIs this Junior Brother Jiang Haoâs spirit beast?â Xin Yuyue asked.
âLord Beast, if you please,â said the beast. âWhen in danger, you can mention my name. My friends and I will always help you. Any demon will show you respect after that.â
Zheng Shijiu and the others felt a bit awkward.
Was that really effective?
âI have friends everywhere and demons always show me respect,â said the beast again.
Everyone felt the beast might be a little too fond of exaggerating things.
After a while, they entered Devilâs Den.
âAccording to the Senior Brother who managed to escape, the strength of the demons in Devilâs Den isnât weak. At the very least, you need to be at the middle stage to be able to withstand them. Even late-stage cultivators might find it difficult. So, be careful,â said Zheng Shijiu.
He wanted to caution Xiao Li against running around, but when he saw the beast, he gave up.
The beastâs strength was unquestionable. That terrifying aura, even against demons, was effective.
Before long, they encountered quite a few demons.
Surprisingly, there were even Golden Core Realm demons around.
What were they doing there? How did they come to be here?
âLeave the Golden Core Realm demons to me. Junior Sister Xiao Li, stay put. Others, take care of the remaining demons,â Zheng Shijiu said.
Yue You nodded. âOkay.â
Xin Yuyue also unsheathed her spirit sword. âRemember⊠aim for the neck. Itâs the weakest spot.â
Xiao Li stood still and held the beast to her.
Soon, the other seniors began fighting the demons.
âBeast, should we help?â Xiao Li asked.
âThey are showing me respect by not letting you do anything. When someone gives that kind of respect, itâs polite to just accept it,â said the beast emphatically.
âItâs a bit strange,â Xiao Li said.
Whenever she was in a fight, she would charge ahead in any situation.
Soon, the demons were dealt with.
âJunior Sister Xiao Li, stay alert. If any demons break through our defense, youâll have to handle it yourself,â Zheng Shijiu said.
Xiao Li nodded eagerly.
Xiao Li and the beast left, while Jiang Hao continued with his daily routine.
He watered the divine flower and tended to the spirit herbs.
The matter with the Lawless Tower had been resolved.
King Mu Longyu hadnât come looking for him again.
All that was left was to earn spirit stones. Once he had enough, he could tie up the spirit beast and awaken its bloodline again.
Jiang Hao remembered Lin Zhi.
He asked Cheng Chou about his situation.
âHeâs peacefully mining. Since his cultivation has remained at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, many people know him. Heâs often bullied wherever he goes,â Cheng Chou said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
In the afternoon, after selling some talismans at the market, he returned to his house.
Early the next morning, Jiang Hao watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower before heading to the mines.
He wanted to check on Lin Zhi.
In a short while, Jiang Hao found a Senior Brother he had worked under before.
He was Wei Lie.
Back then, he had worked under him when he was in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Wei Lie looked at Jiang Hao with a strange expression.
He was supposed to have a fierce, bald, and menacing appearance, but at this moment, he appeared somewhat comical.
âSenior Brother Wei, itâs been a long time,â Jiang Hao said respectfully as he greeted him.
âJunior Brother Jiang, you had extraordinary talents. Iâm sorry to have offended you back then,â said Wei Lei politely.
Over a decade ago, Jiang Hao was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and now, he had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. He had surpassed Wei Lie.
Once someone of this caliber was offended, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, just being called âSenior Brotherâ made him feel somewhat relieved.
The tone of the other person was calm, unlike someone seeking revenge. Moreover, if there was any retaliation planned, he wouldnât have waited until now.
âI was grateful for your guidance back then, Senior Brother.â Jiang Hao chuckled lightly.
At that time, when he was working here, Wei Lei wasnât particularly friendly to him, but he hadnât intentionally targeted him either.
âNo.â Wei Lie shook his head. âWhat brings you here this time?â
âA junior is working here, so I came to see him,â Jiang Hao said truthfully.
Wei Lie seemed somewhat worried. A sudden visit like thisâŠ
Was he here to stand up for that junior?
âWhich junior are you talking about? Perhaps, I know him,â he said politely.
âLin Zhi,â Jiang Hao said.
âLin Zhi?â Wei Lie asked.
He did know Lin Zhi. Quite a few people knew about him. However, no one knew that a Golden Core Realm cultivator had come to see him.
âI do know Junior Brother Lin, but he seemsâŠâ Wei Lie appeared a bit troubled.
âSenior Brother, you neednât worry. Some friction between fellow disciples of the same sect is normal,â Jiang Hao politely said. âIâm not here for that.â
His meaning was clear. Some friction and bickering between disciples were normal. However, targeting someone intentionally was not okay.
Wei Lie breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, he led the way.
Upon finding Lin Zhi, Jiang Hao discreetly handed him a talisman. It wasnât a very valuable talisman, but it conveyed his sentiments.
After all, this wasnât his territory, and it wasnât appropriate to use his cultivation realm to pressure others..
