Chapter 970: The Demoness Is Surprised

Her long hair swayed in the wind.

He had not noticed her arrival, but there was an unfamiliar fragrance in the air.

He had activated the Heavenly Cauldron instantly as a defense.

The Nine Heavens Battle Armor immediately reacted.

He had almost activated the golden rings to escape.

There was a golden ring in the Astronomical Academy. That would be the best place to seek refuge in.

There was one overseas as well.

He didn’t dare to enter the Corpse Realm yet.

However, when he saw it was just Hong Yuye, he calmed down.

He hadn’t done anything wrong. The fragrance was unfamiliar, so he had become defensive.

“Senior, you must be joking.” Then, he offered Hong Yuye a seat.

He then started to make tea.

“How many divine powers did you use just then?” Hong Yuye asked with interest.

“Senior, you’re always sharp as usual. I used two,” he said truthfully.

“How about that?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao’s armor.

“It’s a treasure that was given to me by the sect,” Jiang Hao said.

“Your sect seems to treat you quite well.”

He felt like she was implying something with those words.

Jiang Hao immediately said, “I can’t compare to even one-thousandth of your strength, Senior.”

Hong Yuye chuckled.

Then, he started drinking tea.

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

He understood what she meant. If he decided to follow the sect and do things for them just because he received gifts, he would be in trouble.

Regardless of what she was thinking, he was on her side.

Whatever she gave him was extraordinary. Whether it was the Seven Forms of Heavenly Blade, the nameless manual, or the Light and Dust technique, they had helped him become powerful.

The divine god pills she gave him had saved his life many times.

“Come here,” Hong Yuye suddenly said.

Jiang Hao didn’t dare hesitate.

He leaned over.

At that moment, Hong Yuye raised her hand and pressed it on his chest.

He felt a familiar stinging pain. It was the One Heart Palm.

A moment later, the pain disappeared, and Hong Yuye withdrew her hand.

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief. He had not been sent flying this time.

“What were you looking at just now?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I was watching the people on the stone tablet. They mentioned the Dragon Cave and Feng Hua’s avatar. The Dragon Cave is about to open, and some people are heading there. Meanwhile, Feng Hua’s avatar has disappeared. It might be related to her main body. This might be our chance,” Jiang Hao said.

He really wanted to get rid of Feng Hua once and for all.

She was too dangerous.

She might attack Xiao Li and the others for revenge.

However, no one could find her. It was puzzling why her avatar had disappeared so suddenly.

“Are you ready to go overseas?” Hong Yuye asked.

“There’s still one last thing I need to prepare,” he said.

He told her about the Nine Nether.

Hong Yuye refused to help this time. She said he could just take Xiao Li’s little dog with him.

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

Hong Yuye looked at him. “Too much consciousness will cause chaos in the Netherworld.”

Jiang Hao knew about that. However, he could not stay in the Dragon Cave for too long.

Since Hong Yuye said so, he had no choice.

It seemed that he had to borrow Little Wang from Xiao Li, after all.

After confirming that they would set off in two days, Hong Yuye asked curiously, “Aren’t you going to compete for the top disciple’s position? You said you wanted to test yourself.”

Jiang Hao took out his notebook.

He opened it and showed her the list of six people.

“Senior, please take a look at this. There are six people in total. Senior Sister Du of the White Moon Lake is skilled in the Five Elements. She has been at the peak of the Golden Core Realm for a long time now and is only two to three years away from advancing further. There is also Law Enforcement Hall’s Senior Brother Hu. It is said that he is the number one person in the Primordial Spirit Realm and is proficient in the Art of Thunder. And the Heavenly Joy Pavilion…”

Hong Yuye looked at the list in surprise.

It was even more surprising that Jiang Hao had done his due diligence in finding out so much about his opponents.

“Senior, do you think I have a chance of winning?” Jiang Hao asked after a short while.

Hong Yuye looked carefully at the person in front of her and drank her tea without saying a word.

Three days later, Jiang Hao received a mission from the Task Hall. The deadline was three months.

He also handed over the remaining spirit stones from before.

“Don’t worry, Junior Brother Jiang,” said the Senior Sister who was always at the reception. “You can hand it in next time.”

Jiang Hao chuckled and thanked her.

He went to the Lawless Tower but did not see the lantern bearer. It seemed that he was taken to the upper floor at the last minute because of his special talent.

Jiang Hao did not find out much about that.

He was leaving today.

He found Cheng Chou and briefed him on the matters of the garden. Cheng Chou nodded.

Then, he hesitated. “Senior Brother Jiang, many people have been talking about you these days. The rumor is that you are using the Blood Wish Path to get stronger and participate in the selection round. They also say that you intend to use that path to deceive people. Everyone thinks it’s lowly to exchange and shorten one’s lifespan to advance further in cultivation. The spiritual energy is dark and chaotic but weak. They say you aren’t qualified to compete with the others. If such a person as yourself got selected, it would be a disgrace to others. They say you should give up on the selection round.”

Cheng Chou sounded angry. He trusted Jiang Hao and knew that he wasn’t following the Blood Wish Path.

He wanted to fight back, but he needed Jiang Hao’s consent.

“Don’t mind them. Let them say whatever they want. As long as they don’t do anything, there is no need to care. If anyone does anything while I’m away, find Senior Brother Mu Qi,” Jiang Hao said.

“Alright.” Cheng Chou nodded.

Cheng Chou was curious why Jiang Hao wasn’t more frustrated. He always accepted everything calmly.

He wouldn’t be able to do that.

Jiang Hao did not say anything further.

He had many things to worry about, and the people spreading rumors about him were the last on his list.

He did not care for them.

After that, he went to Senior Brother Mu Qi’s residence and began to set up the Mountain Sea Seal.

He was worried that the Holy Master might come back to attack them.

When he was around, he could help them.

It would be too late if the enemy attacked when he was too far away.

Besides, if he suppressed the immortal seed, many enemies would attack the sect.

This time, the mark he set up was stronger than before.

After everything was done, he asked to borrow Little Wang and left the Heavenly Note Sect.

He disappeared from his spot.

On the other side, Ming Yi woke up from her cultivation.

She touched the area between her eyebrows and trembled in fear.

“How should I stop him?”

She knew that Miao Tinglian could help her, but she had refused to even acknowledge her, so Ming Yi had no choice.

Mu Qi’s strength was too great for her to make a move.

There was still room for negotiation. If she recklessly attacked them, there would be no room for compromise.

He sighed wearily and decided to visit the Spirit Herb Garden.

Perhaps she could use Jiang Hao’s help.

He did seem close with Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian. As long as he asked for help, they would agree.

However, when she arrived at the garden, the spirit beast said, “Master has gone out.”

Ming Yi sighed. Every time she visited, Jiang Hao seemed out.
