Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1279: Look At You, Becoming An Immortal Human At Eighteen (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the mining site, the ones at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm were pinned to the wall.

Those at the late stage and the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm were scattered across the ground.

Many others knelt around them.

Duan Tiancheng could sense that the formation had been broken, and the poisonous gas had been dispelled. He had been heavily injured several times.

However, the moment Jiang Hao appeared, the situation instantly reversed.

Looking at the fate of those people, he could not help but feel terrified.

Even though he had not been disrespectful before, he still felt that he lacked manners.

If Jiang Hao held it against him…

He would undoubtedly be dead.

Lu Baiye broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, he had never offended Jiang Hao.

He was a little afraid. If he had provoked Jiang Hao, he could have been beheaded.

“Senior Brother is invincible…” he muttered.

“Junior Brother Jiang’s might is unparalleled in the world,” Duan Tiancheng said respectfully.

Jiang Hao shook his head slightly. “It’s not what you think. Everything was just a coincidence. Perhaps someone else wanted them dead.”

Duan Tiancheng and the others were somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Hao did not explain further.

Even though those at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm were powerful, they were not invincible.

The others were even less of a concern.

Being able to kill them was not something to be excessively proud of.

If a truly powerful Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator had appeared, it would not have been so easy to get rid of them.

“Let’s see what’s going on with the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Realm cultivators,” Jiang Hao said.

Bai Ye and the others immediately nodded.

Duan Tiancheng hesitated for a moment. “Why didn’t you kill them, Junior Brother Jiang?”

He pointed at the other people who were kneeling and bowing in fear.

Jiang Hao glanced at them and shook his head. “There’s no particular reason.”

“Can we do something about them?” Duan Tiancheng asked cautiously.

“Senior Brother, please do as you want,” Jiang Hao said.

He did not know who the other party wanted to kill, but if he wanted to do so, then so be it. He did not care.

There was not anyone particularly important to protect.

After that, the Heavenly Note Sect disciples who had led the way were taken away.

When they returned, only Duan Tiancheng remained.

It seemed the disciples had been killed.

Jiang Hao did not understand if there was a grudge between them.

At that moment, Zheng Shijiu and the others came out. Jiang Hao went over to help them.

They were seriously injured.

After talking for a while, they found out that the disciple who had led them away had poisoned them. If they had not reacted in time, they would have been dead.

It was no wonder Duan Tiancheng did not want to spare them.

That was how the cultivation world was. Everyone was just trying to survive. When grudges formed, people would inevitably die.

What Jiang Hao could do was ensure he stood among those who lived.

“So many people have died. This’ll cause quite a commotion. People from other sects might come here,” Bai Ye said.

Huang Hongyang had died, but Nalan Danyan and the others had prevented the news from spreading.

Even so, someone would have sent the news back. It had been a while, so the news must have spread.

Moreover, with so many people dying at once, other sects would come.

“The news about the treasure might have already spread,” Duan Tiancheng immediately said. “Our sect is the closest. We should act first and have our sect send some people over.”

“But the treasure hasn’t been found yet,” Lu Baiye said.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, “Let’s focus on the mission first.”

The treasure had nothing to do with him. Completing the mission was the priority, especially since this mission was not so simple.

He had left an early-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator alive from the Fallen Moon Sect.

The person was not that big of a threat. Besides, killing them all might have repercussions.

It was better to leave one person alive.

There was also no need to kill Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Winning this competition should come with rewards.

He had promised his Master that he would bring back a disciple.

Moreover, if he killed them all and his reasoning was invalid, that would cause a lot of trouble.

Leaving some people alive in each realm would be better.

Of course, the sect had to be notified. Other matters could wait.

The people from the Blackheaven Sect would arrive. If the Heavenly Note Sect did not have anyone here, they would be at a disadvantage.

They could also be easily manipulated.

As for the treasure, if he was not greedy, he would not get involved.

“Aren’t you going to investigate what the treasure is?” Lu Baiye asked curiously.

Jiang Hao shook his head. Lu Baiye did not dare say anything after that.

When Senior Brother Zheng and the others had almost recovered, they started entering the mine to complete their mission.

The people from Fallen Moon Sect did not dare come out again.

During those seven days, Jiang Hao continued mining while Bai Ye and the others kept killing the demonic beasts.

There were many demonic beasts, but they were gradually getting weaker. The more they killed, the faster they weakened.

Their numbers did not decrease by much, but it was enough that they were getting weaker.

One day, people from the Wind Lightning Sect arrived.

An early-stage Return to Void Realm cultivator immediately questioned Jiang Hao about the killings.

Looking at the other party’s powerful aura, Jiang Hao said, “The Fallen Moon Sect’s Nalan Danyan killed people. Fellow Disciple Huang was an easygoing person. We endured for a long time and finally found a chance for revenge. The people of the Fallen Moon Sect went overboard.”

“Nalan Danyan killed someone and you guys helped them take revenge?” asked the cultivator at the early stage of the Return to Void Realm.

“Indeed,” Duan Tiancheng said righteously. “We, as disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect, admit to what we’ve done. If we didn’t kill, we wouldn’t take the blame for others.”

The Heavenly Note Sect was a demonic sect that killed people without a second thought. When they were killed, they admitted to it.

“Senior, you can ask the people from the Fallen Moon Sect,” Bai Ye said softly.

At that moment, the people of the Fallen Moon Sect were hiding in the mine.

Even the Return to Void Realm cultivator did not dare enter.

This was a competition between two sects, and the restrictions were set by stronger cultivators. He could not break the rules or afford the consequences of doing so.
