Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1408  A True Immortal Over Seventy Is A Monster, Everyone Will Fear You (2)

It was very obscure. If he had not learned the techniques from the nameless manual, he might not have discovered it.

"What is it?"

The immortal energy might have been related to Chang Ji.

What was being absorbed, however, was unknown.

He then began searching for the core item.

It was not easy to find.

It seemed to be constantly changing positions and drifting unpredictably.

After a long time, the sky faintly brightened.

The weather was chilly in February.

Fortunately, most cultivators were not afraid of the cold.

No matter what kind of weather it was, it would not affect their mission.

At a plateau downstream, Nan Qing looked at the river ahead with a furrowed brow.

She tried her best to observe, but she did not find out much.

A month had passed with no one setting traps for her, and the team leader fully supported them.

However, even so, the river was incomprehensible.

She did not even dare to approach it.

The other two people also seemed extraordinary.

They were also observing intently, and they likely had not made much progress either.

There was indeed something wrong underground, but it was too quiet. It made her feel reluctant to interact with it too much.

She could only observe occasionally.

Fortunately, there were no significant changes.

But the situation above also remained unchanged. Even when there were some changes, they were not sufficient to report.

"This river is more troublesome than expected."

Without hesitation, Nan Qing leaped up and looked down from above.

Her face changed drastically.

There was a corpse in the river, but she didn't know when it had appeared.

When did it appear?

How did it appear?

Why had it fallen into the river?

Nan Qing felt that this matter was not simple.

After hesitating for a moment, she immediately sent out a signal.

This was what they had agreed on. If there was a major discovery, they would call others immediately.

This way, they could avoid unexpected accidents.

Nie Jin, who was still observing the river, was slightly surprised.

He had thought that the person who sent the signal first would most likely be Jiang Hao. After all, he had seen many people like him.

Once one became a team leader, they would enjoy the privileges of a leader.

Thus, they would overshadow others.

Of course, as long as the order was not too excessive, he would cooperate.

But upon closer comparison, he found that the signal was sent by Nan Qing and not Jiang Hao.

"That shouldn't be the case. She doesn't seem ordinary. I keep feeling that it's a little strange for the sect to make us a team." Nie Jin did not dare to hesitate and quickly went over.

He knew a bit about the other members of the team.

Moreover, he had a special artifact.

It could reveal some things.

Aside from Jiang Hao, the other two had various hidden aspects.

One had to be cautious.

Jiang Hao, who was observing the underground, also saw the signal.

"It seems they've discovered something."

He had anticipated the signal today.

The corpse in the River of Deathly Silence was bound to be discovered.

If they could find the Fallen Immortal Clan's people, the problem would still be manageable.

He could resolve it secretly.

There was no need to worry about being discovered.

As for whether it would arouse suspicion, that was no longer a concern.

The sect had already suspected him for decades.

The final discovery they had made was not how powerful he was but the entity backing him, which was accurate.

Without Hong Yuye, he would not have achieved whatever he had.

After that, he got up and walked to where Nan Qing was.

By the time he arrived, the others were already there.

They were looking at the river in surprise.

As soon as Jiang Hao arrived, Nie Jin immediately said, "Senior Brother, you were right to have us stay here. We have indeed discovered something significant. There's actually a corpse here."

"A Corpse?" Jiang Hao followed their gaze.

As expected, he saw a corpse.

It was indeed Chang Ji. Jiang Hao had thrown the body into the river himself. The immortal aura and energy in his body were gone.

But other forces were still present, which meant that this was a powerful figure.

They, however, could not guess that this was an Immortal Human.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. The immortal energy had been completely absorbed.

There was something else underground.

"Do you know where the corpse came from?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I'm not sure. If you did not notice it, then there's a high chance that he appeared midway. Judging from the wounds, it seems he was killed," Nan Qing said.

Nie Jin thought of something.

He felt that the possibility of it was the highest.

Since it was not him, who had killed him?

Nan Qing? Or perhaps Zhen Huo?

These two were indeed bold.

Or was it a warning to someone?

At that moment, Zhen Huo relied on his flood dragon perception and felt that the person might have been killed by Nan Qing.

After all, he had a feeling that she was dangerous. It was not just her but Nie Jin too.

Senior Brother Jiang was the least threatening.

It was not a good thing for them to be together.

Jiang Hao did not know what they were thinking. He said seriously, "Do you think we should fish it out?"

"We could. But if we don't, we could see what happens if the corpse enters the break in the river," said Nan Qing.

Jiang Hao was curious.

"But it seems inappropriate to just leave the corpse there," said Nie Jin. "If we fish it out, we might be able to find out who killed this person."

As long as they had the corpse, they could find out who had done it.

Therefore, they had to fish it out.

Jiang Hao looked at the three of them. He understood that everyone wanted to see who had killed this person and how, but they also wanted to see what would happen if the corpse entered the break.

"Then, let's fish it out and take a look. After that, we can throw it in," said Jiang Hao.

Hearing this, the three of them were delighted.
