Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1402  Don't Worry, Just Trust Me (2)

This time, he took a closer look into the depths of the Devil's Den.

He observed more carefully than ever before.

With just one glance, he was shocked and instinctively took a step back.

The sky was filled with patterns of the Dao. It transformed into stars and hung upside down.

It was an incomprehensible world. Anyone who approached it would drown in it.

If one day it erupted, everything would instantly evaporate.

The entire Heavenly Note Sect could vanish in the blink of an eye.

How could he not be afraid?

Jiang Hao hurriedly lowered his head.

He dared not look further. He was afraid that the beings inside the stars would notice him.

Hong Yuye once mentioned that there were rumors of battles taking place inside.

It seemed entirely possible.

Otherwise, why would the stars hang upside down and the Dao be overturned?

Though he was surprised, it was not entirely unexpected. The Heavenly Note Sect had never been an ordinary place.

There were heaven-grade dangerous objects, the Longevity Tree, the Blood Pool, treasures, and so on.

None of these were ordinary.

This place had never been simple.

If one day he was forced to abandon the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and move elsewhere, it might not be a bad thing.

Previously, he had appraised the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, and at that time, the flower had reached a critical stage of growth.

It could not be transplanted.

Even if the entire Heavenly Note Sect moved away, it could not be transplanted.

It was not about the land. It was about the alignment of heaven and earth, the great trend of the Dao, and the combination of these elements.

He felt that the blood mist around him was becoming more and more consistent with him.

This indicated a deep bond of cause and effect.

He could no longer escape the calamity of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

Sensing the changes in the Blood Pool, Jiang Hao made a decision.

He removed the divine power of the Myriad Nature Forest.

In an instant, Jiang Hao felt that the missing part of the Blood Pool was restored.

The blood mist in the pool became much denser.

There were no other changes.

Jiang Hao did not leave immediately. He continued to sense and observe.

Mainly, he was worried that there would be any issues with Gu Jin.

After the Great Era, he had yet to see Gu Jin.

He did not know what was going on with him.

If it was not necessary, he did not plan to go in.

After the Great Era, many things were beyond his control.

Gu Jin might also be beyond his control.

Entering the Blood Pool as an Immortal Human would be much safer.

When it was almost midnight, Jiang Hao left the blood pool.

Since there were no problems here, there was no need to stay longer.

He decided to find Zhen Huo.

The person was not human, so he would appraise him first to see the specific situation.

Then, he appeared where Zhen Huo was.

He did not conceal his presence, so he was noticed immediately.

"Senior Brother Jiang?" Zhen Huo was wary at first. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Did you find anything?" Jiang Hao asked.

Zhen Huo shook his head. "Not yet, but I'm certain your method is correct. If we continue to wait, we will definitely find something."

Jiang Hao nodded and activated his divine ability.

[Zhen Huo: A flood dragon left behind from ancient times. An inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect's Hundred Bones Forest. He is at the Immortal Ascension Platform. He was born in ancient times but was severely injured and sealed in a great disaster. He was born three hundred years ago. He joined the Heavenly Note Sect two hundred years ago for stability. Only after encountering the Great Era did he achieve the Immortal Ascension Platform. He knows how terrifying humans are, so he doesn't dare reveal his true cultivation realm. He only reveals the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. To avoid being seen through, he often claims to be in seclusion. He is waiting for the rise of the Demon Clan to make a place for himself. He doesn't want to cause trouble or fail the mission. If necessary, he will secretly help, but he doesn't want conflict in the team, so he will be tolerant. If unavoidable, he will take action against you. Now, it depends on your performance. He hopes you can rise to the occasion.]

'Such long feedback...'

Looking at the divine feedback, Jiang Hao could not help but sigh.

Such lengthy feedback was rare.

However, it turned out the person was indeed a disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect.

But his heart was with the Demon Clan, not here.

It made sense.

This was because the sect had accepted him as a human and not as a demon.

As the saying goes, "Those not of our kin are sure to have a different mind."

No one likes to be constantly doubted.

Moreover, this was the demonic sect, where most people joined together for benefits. It was normal for them not to be loyal to the sect.

But the fact that he did not mock Jiang Hao while flattering him made Jiang Hao feel relieved.

There was not much else to care about. Whether he wanted to help or offend them was not a big deal.

"Do you have any other plans, Senior Brother Jiang?" Zhen Huo asked.

"Observe, then get closer and see. We need to understand some things to report to the sect," Jiang Hao said.

"You're right, Senior Brother Jiang," Zhen Huo said in admiration. "I'll definitely follow your lead."

Jiang Hao nodded. After talking for a while, he turned around and left.

He would appraise the second person the next night.

Although he could appraise at midnight, it was not urgent. He saved it for later.

The next night, Jiang Hao found Nie Jin.

This person was the most talkative. He wondered what was on his mind.

[Nie Jin: His real name is Qian Hu Jin, and he is a True Disciple of the Heavenly Gate Sect, with a cultivation level of the Immortal Ascension Platform. He has been undercover in the Heavenly Note Sect's Flowing Waterfall Branch, with displayed cultivation of the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He joined the Heavenly Note Sect after the Heavenly Note Demoness went into seclusion. He has been undercover for more than a hundred years and has always been very careful and kind to others. He does not act rashly unless necessary. If he has to take action, it will never be within the sect. He has been thinking if this place counts as within the sect. Knowing that you have the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he doesn't dare to act rashly. But he also doesn't want you to cause him trouble. If you cooperate, he will help you solve everything. He flatters you to see your nature. If you fall for it, it shows your incompetence. This is also a way to make friends and avoid mission troubles.]

Sure enough, he was watching Jiang Hao's reaction.

The purpose of the Heavenly Gate Sect was not clear. He did not know why he was undercover.

Fortunately, these people wanted to complete the mission, so there would not be much trouble.

Since they just wanted cooperation, Jiang Hao decided to cooperate.

On the third day, Jiang Hao appraised the last person.

[Nan Qing: Traitor of the Divine Feather Sect in the Immortal Human Realm, which has dropped to the seventh stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform. She joined the Heavenly Note Sect while being pursued. The pursuit ceased, so she stayed in the Heavenly Note Sect. As he did not want any accidents, she did not dare to make enemies. Even with significant recovery of her cultivation realm, she displays her cultivation at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. She cooperates to complete tasks and won't trouble you if you don't trouble her. If you can't complete the task, she will knock you out and complete it alone. Seeing you being flattered, she finds it amusing. She thinks you are very pleased with yourself. Your unintentional smile betrays your nature, but she won't say anything. If you provoke her, she will also kill you. After all, she has to consider her own future.]

'A traitor of the Divine Feather Sect?' Jiang Hao had never heard of such a sect. 'What kind of sect is it?'

She was in the Immortal Human Realm, which was even more strange.

Jiang Hao did not care about that. He focused on her inner thoughts.

She was amused and noticed his smile.

Was he really smiling?

Did their flattery make him smile?

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment...

It was not impossible. After all, no one had ever praised him like this.

He was still not mentally strong because he was not able to avoid being pleased with himself when they praised him.

There was not much else.

All three were enthusiastic about completing the task.

That was for the best. He would maintain the status quo.

Everyone worked together to complete the task of the River of Deathly Silence.

Time slowly passed.

Soon, it was the end of January.

In the Hidden Cloud Prefecture, Bi Zhu stood in a courtyard.

"Senior, are you ready?" Bi Zhu asked.

It was the end of January, and the Hundred Nights Curse was about to explode.

If preparations were not sufficient, what would happen?

According to the previous agreement, Jing must have withdrawn protection from the Shangguan Clan.

The letter had also been delivered.

It was not a big deal if something happened to the Shangguan Clan, but it would be a big problem if something happened to Shangguan Qingsu.

"Almost ready. When the time comes, I will go directly to Shangguan Qingsu. Have you investigated thoroughly? Are you sure it's her? If it goes wrong, it's your fault," Gu Changsheng said.

"Senior, don't worry. I'm absolutely reliable. You just have to trust me."

Gu Changsheng was speechless.
