Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1406  If I'm Backed Into A Corner, I'll Cross Realms To Kill The Enemy (2)

Jiang Hao originally wanted to observe carefully but suddenly felt like he was being watched

It was not coming from underground.

It was from the opposite side of the River of Deathly Silence.

He stood up nonchalantly. "Something's odd. Keep an eye on the underground for further observations."

Since Jiang Hao had spoken, the others naturally agreed readily.

After that, Jiang Hao sat down and told them to continue their investigation elsewhere.

Although there was no break here, it was indeed the place where the death energy and the Dao energy were the densest.

Sitting here might yield the greatest result.

Additionally, that gaze remained constant.

The person seemed to be approaching.

It was a familiar gaze. He knew that it belonged to the Fallen immortal Clan, especially with the subtle but overbearing immortal aura.

He had encountered it before at the land of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

At that time, he had abruptly halted their clan's rise.

Naturally, they would want their revenge.

However, this time, it was clear that they were not looking for Smiling San Sheng but for him.

Otherwise, it would not be an immortal who had just become an Immortal Human from their clan.

However, the person's aura was exceptionally smooth.

It showed how easily they had become an immortal.

After Nie Jin and the others left, Jiang Hao sat down cross-legged and began to sense the ground.

It was for the immortals to see.

However, the other party did not seem to know that he was alone.

He just did not know what their purpose was.

It would be best if there was no conflict, and everyone could coexist peacefully.

Otherwise, he would be easily targeted.

If Smiling San Sheng was targeted, so be it, but it would be quite troublesome if Jiang Hao was targeted.

A Human Immortal's Primordial Spirit had disappeared suddenly.

This…

This was entirely different from leaving a name for Gu Qing.

'Perhaps this person came for Gu Qing.' Jiang Hao thought, but for now, he could only wait for the other party to approach. 'No matter what, I can only wait for the other party to find me.'

If they did not show themself, it would be okay just to watch.

Once he returned to the sect, he could report it.

Then, he would ask the sect to help him get rid of this Immortal Human.

No matter how capable the other party was, they would not mention him.

However, after the three left, the person from the Fallen Immortal Clan could not wait any longer.

He took a step forward, crossed the River of Deathly Silence, and appeared in front of Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes and looked at the black-robed immortal in surprise.

"Senior, who are you?"

"Jiang Hao?" the person asked.

"You've mistaken me, Senior. Senior Brother Jiang is at the Cliff of Broken Hearts. If you go there, you should find him in the Spirit Herb Garden." Jiang Hao stood up and bowed.

At that moment, he appeared earnest as though he was really guiding the man in front of him.

"I've been there before," said the man, and sneered. "The portrait I got had your picture."

"Senior, you must have asked only a few people, right?" Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed. "There are many people in the sect who have grudges against me. Seeing someone as formidable as you, they'd surely think you're here with ill intentions, so they directed you here."

"You'll say anything to avoid admitting that you're Jiang Hao, right?" the black-robed man asked mockingly.

"I'm really not the person you're looking for, Senior," Jiang Hao said seriously.

"Is that so? Then, why does the portrait circulating in my clan look like you?" asked the black-robed man.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. Did the Fallen Immortal Clan really have his portrait?

It seemed unlikely.

Most likely, the other party was trying to trick him.

He could only shake his head and not respond.

He hoped that the other party would doubt him and leave.

However, the next words from the man left Jiang Hao with no choice but to admit it.

"If you're not, I'll kill you to silence you," said the Fallen Immortal Clan's Chang Ji.

Thus, Jiang Hao stopped denying it.

"You're not denying it any longer?" Chang Ji sneered.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and remained silent.

"Is the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower in your hands?" Chang Ji asked.

"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded.

He did not hide anything.

Many people knew about it, so hiding it was meaningless.

Moreover, the previous conversation had worn down the other party's patience. If it came to a fight, the other party would undoubtedly die.

If that happened, he would be unable to find out the man's purpose.

"If I want the flower, will you stop me?" Chang Ji asked.

"No." Jiang Hao shook his head. "I don't have the strength to stop you."

"Then, if I ask you to bring the flower out for me, will you agree?" Chang Ji asked.

"It's not that I don't agree…" Jiang Hao said bitterly. "It's just that the sect is watching over the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. I'm only allowed to take care of it, but I'm not allowed to take it out of the sect."

That was the truth.

Hong Yuye would not allow him to take the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower away.

She had been keeping an eye on it for decades. Taking the flower away would ruin everything.

He needed to protect the flower with all his might.

If it was beyond his ability, he could only count on Hong Yuye.

"Why did Gu Qing leave your name back then?" Chang Ji asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Hao shook his head. "Maybe it's because of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower."

"You seem very cooperative." Chang Ji frowned.

He had expected more trouble but found the other party unexpectedly compliant.

It felt like his methods and preparations were ineffective. It was a bit disappointing.

Jiang Hao said solemnly, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. I can see your immortal aura. It would be suicidal not to cooperate with you."

Staring at Jiang Hao for a long time, Chang Ji frowned. "You're right. But for some reason, I don't like you being so compliant. I prefer it when you resist, then I can suppress you and make you submit. That's the you I like."

Jiang Hao sighed and lowered his head. "Senior, why must you make things difficult for me?"

"Difficult? How did I make things difficult for you?" Chang Ji smiled.

"I just want to live in peace. I don't have any lofty ambitions either," Jiang Hao said truthfully.

"Live in peace?" Chang Ji asked. "Alright, I'll let you live. But to avoid any trouble, you'll have to accept the slave seal of my clan. Thereafter, you'll be under the protection of my clan. Your body will be tempered by an immortal aura. It'll aid you in cultivation and make it easier for you to become an immortal soon. Is living like that acceptable for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mark appeared in front of Jiang Hao.

Chang Ji said, "Accept it, and I'll let you live well. This is a great honor. My clan will establish the Supreme Immortal Court in the future, and you will become a general in my clan. If you weren't taking care of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, you would have never been offered this blessing."

Looking at the slave seal before him, Jiang Hao felt bitter.

He would have even considered verbally agreeing to it, but it was unthinkable to accept the seal right then.

But having another identity would be convenient in the future.

He could also learn about the Fallen Immortal Clan's plans firsthand.

Being within their ranks, they would not be able to find him easily.

However, it seemed the other was not planning to leave without Jiang Hao accepting the seal.

"Why won't you accept it?" Chang Ji sneered when he saw Jiang Hao hesitate.

"I'm afraid of offending the Heavenly Note Sect," Jiang Hao said.

After that, he explained that accepting the seal would result in his death at the hands of the Heavenly Note Sect.

Hearing this, Chang Ji laughed. "The Heavenly Note Sect is nothing. They can be arrogant now, but it won't be long before they bow to our clan. You're not unwilling because you're afraid of the Heavenly Note Sect, but because you don't want to follow our clan, right?"

"Senior, you must be joking." Jiang Hao shook his head.

"Then will you take it or not? Have you considered that I could kill you right now?" Chang Ji asked.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly and secretly activated the Yin-Yang Bracelet. He also enveloped the surroundings in the Heavenly Cauldron.

"Senior, please show mercy," he said.

"Show mercy? What if I don't?" Chang Ji stared at Jiang Hao and asked.

"If I'm backed into a corner, I'll cross realms to kill the enemy," Jiang Hao said.

That made the other party laugh. "I wondered why a mere Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator could remain so calm under my overbearing immortal aura. So, you have a trump card. Let me also see how you can kill me with only the peak of the Primordial Spirit—"

Before he even finished his words, there was a sudden sound.

A blade pierced through Chang Ji. It stabbed through his back and emerged from his chest.

This stopped Chang Ji mid-sentence.

Looking again, Jiang Hao was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Hao's voice came from behind Chang Ji.

"It's not just someone at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm killing you. It's actually someone at the True Immortal Realm."

The icy voice made Chang Ji's thoughts go astray.

His last thought was whether this was considered crossing realms to kill an enemy.
