Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning
Chapter 346 - They Wouldn’t Be Thinking of Escaping, Would They?

Chapter 346: They Wouldn’t Be Thinking of Escaping, Would They?

Looking at the feedback from his divine ability, Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

The True Dragon and others remnant souls had actually started to recuperate.

How long would they need to recuperate?

He didn’t think the bored Liu Xingchen would wait too long; if they didn’t act, one might get devoured.

Then the other two would be in crisis and would have to counterattack.

Or perhaps these three sensed danger and didn’t dare to confront Liu Xingchen head-on, starting to think about how to escape.

That would probably also amuse Liu Xingchen.

But Jiang Hao was still unsure of what mindset those three had.

He could only wait for their recuperation to end to know their next move.

Seeing the last sentence, Jiang Hao felt the situation was becoming more troublesome.

However, there was no helping it; Gu Qing’s appearance forced him to find Liu Xingchen.

The difference in strength was too vast.

Not to mention Return to Void at its peak, he hadn’t even explored the early stages of Return to Void.

“Is Junior Sister Gu really an undercover agent?”

Jiang Hao asked with some surprise.

“I don’t know if she’s undercover, but her strength is undeniable,” Liu Xingchen said with some emotion.

“Actually, at first, I wasn’t sure about her strength. I just requested assistance from a senior. Because she had a treasure, many people came, and we were able to capture her immediately.”

“A treasure?”

Jiang Hao really didn’t know what it was.

“Yes, a secret treasure,” Liu Xingchen recalled and continued.

“I first used a regular Tianyuan Mirror and found nothing, then I requested other Tianyuan Mirrors. Still nothing, which means the person either has great strength or a treasure. After several investigations, the Hall of Enforcement determined there was a treasure. After applying for a treasure to suppress her, the capture officially began. Last night, she just happened to head towards Junior Brother’s residence, and we took action on the way. We captured her in one fell swoop.”

“I see,” Jiang Hao nodded.

He was just curious; are there regular and irregular Tianyuan Mirrors?

What about the fake Tianyuan Mirror he saw before, is it regular or irregular?

Suddenly, he thought of a question.

“If she slaughters her fellow disciples, wouldn’t that be undetectable?”

“That process is more complicated, but currently, using a higher Tianyuan Mirror should be able to detect it. Of course, investigating the slaughter of fellow disciples is much more complex, not just a matter of the Tianyuan Mirror. So she can’t escape,” Liu Xingchen explained briefly.

Jiang Hao didn’t ask further but inquired about what would happen to her.

“I don’t know,” Liu Xingchen shook his head.

“Currently, we are investigating what she has done in the Tianyin Sect, and she has been sent to the Lawless Tower. It’s probably not going to end well for her.”

Lawless Tower?

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but think of Heavenly King Hai Luo and the others.

Perhaps they would meet again.

It’s a pity he couldn’t use a word or two to make her suffer.

It seemed she didn’t have any significant leverage.

“There’s one more thing I need to inform Junior Brother about.” Liu Xingchen suddenly said.

“Catching the opponent is no small feat, Junior Brother, are you sure you don’t want the credit?”

Jiang Hao shook his head.

“All the credit goes to Senior Brother, I just had a suspicion, that’s all.”

“That’s fine then.” Liu Xingchen nodded with a smile.

“By the way, if Junior Sister Gu caused any damage to the Spiritual Medicine Garden during her time there, who would be responsible?”

Jiang Hao was quite concerned about this.

After all, those spiritual medicines were very valuable.

If he had to compensate for them, it would be more than he could afford.

Liu Xingchen pondered for a moment, then said: “I’ll take two people this afternoon to investigate thoroughly, including Junior Sister Gu’s residence and her assigned tasks. If there are any losses, we will help apply for compensatiom. Currently, Junior Sister is still a disciple of the Tianyin Sect, but that might not be the case for much longer.”

Jiang Hao understood that as long as she was a disciple, she would have to compensate; if not, she wouldn’t.

Therefore, this matter couldn’t be delayed.

After some more conversation, Jiang Hao learned from Liu Xingchen that the sect was preparing for something, most likely to make a move against the Tiansheng Sect.

Jiang Hao expressed his agreement with this.

Without the Tiansheng Sect, he would be much safer.

Apart from the Tiansheng Sect, the Luoxia Sect was also keeping an eye on him.

Logically speaking, there should be no danger from the first wave of attacks from the Luoxia Sect.

His strength was at the Foundation Establishment level, and it wouldn’t make sense for the other party to use a cultivator beyond the Nascent Soul level against him.

Those who had issues with him only knew he was weak, so even if he was attacked, it wouldn’t have much impact.

It was a pity he wasn’t strong enough; otherwise, they might have put their grievances aside.

But he couldn’t underestimate them, or he might end up like Gu Qing.

She was at the Return to Void completion stage, disguised as at the early Foundation Establishment stage, and yet she still fell.

After saying goodbye to Liu Xingchen, Jiang Hao returned to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

That afternoon, Liu Xingchen did come.

And they did find some issues with the spiritual medicines.

They were worth thirty-nine thousand spirit stones.

In the end, the Hall of Enforcement took away half of the medicines and compensated for ninety percent of the total value.

The remaining losses were borne by Duanqing Cliff.

Since half of the spiritual medicines were left, they could be restored with enough time.

So Duanqing Cliff bore ninety percent of the remaining ten percent.

The person in charge of the Spiritual Medicine Garden took on the last ten percent.

That is, three hundred and ninety spirit stones.

Jiang Hao didn’t mind this, but it was a pity that he wouldn’t be compensated for his own spiritual medicines.

Not only were they cleared out, but they also weren’t within Gu Qing’s work scope.

So he had to swallow the loss himself.

Jiang Hao accepted this calmly.

The capture of Gu Qing was the most important thing for him.

At least now he was safe.

......

Seven days later.

Liu Xingchen informed him that Gu Qing had been identified as a spy and was locked in the Lawless Tower, waiting for further arrangements.

With this, Jiang Hao could rest easy.

He could continue with his own plans.

Back at his residence, he glanced at his panel.

He hadn’t looked at it closely since his promotion.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 27】

【Cultivation: Nascent Soul Complete】

【Cultivation Techniques: Tianyin Hundred Revolutions, Primordial Heart Sutra】

【Divine Abilities: Nine Revolutions Death Replacement (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear Heart and Pure Mind, Hidden Spirit Manifestation, Divine Might, Withered Tree Meets Spring】

【Vital Energy: 4/100 (cannot be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 2/100 (cannot be cultivated)】

【Divine Abilities: 2/3 (cannot be acquired)】

“I’m twenty-seven years old now.”

“It’s been almost eight years since I met Hong Yuye when I was nineteen.”

In just a few years, he had gone from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the complete stage of Nascent Soul.

He had crossed Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and was even about to surpass Nascent Soul.

Such speed was almost inconceivable.

Jiang Hao even felt like his heart was about to take flight.

Even the true disciples of the Haotian Sect paled in comparison to him.

When he first met Liu Xingchen, one was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and the other was at the complete stage of Golden Core.

More than seven years had passed, and he had reached the complete stage of Nascent Soul, while Liu Xingchen was at the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

If others knew of this gap, they would be shocked.

They would definitely want to find out what was going on.

And the Junior Brother Han who was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment with him was now only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

“The more I think about it, the more I feel that my state of mind isn’t very stable,” Jiang Hao sighed.

Once one starts to become arrogant, it’s the beginning of destruction.

He must always remind himself to stay vigilant.

He cannot stray from the right path.

After collecting his thoughts, Jiang Hao began to make plans for the future.

“Speaking of which, it’s time to take a trip to the Hundred Bones Forest.”

It had been a year since the last spirit sealing.

Now that I’ve finally suppressed the opponent by a whole realm, I can’t let Bai Ye come forward.

Half a month later.

......

At night.

Jiang Hao arrived at the Hundred Bones Forest.

However, when he sensed Bai Ye outside the valley, something felt off.

“What’s going on? Mid-stage Nascent Soul?”
