Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1456  Jiang Hao's Poem (1)

At the eastern border, Bi Zhu was being escorted by three people deep into the mountain.

"Senior, why do you think the immortals are looking for me?" Bi Zhu asked Gu Changsheng secretly.

At this moment, she was standing on a flying magical artifact. She felt that the Fallen Immortal Clan's magical artifact was peculiar. It was extremely fast.

It was not just the magical artifact. The people were also in harmony with the world around them. Their immortal energy and the aura of the world complemented each other.

Thus, their artifacts were more powerful and faster.

Their spell techniques were also incredibly powerful.

This clan could make anyone tremble in fear.

These were just a bunch of Immortal Humans. What were the True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals like?

It was hard to imagine that they had lost in the era of the Human Emperor.

The human race was weak. They had few advantages against such a powerful enemy.

If the Immortal Clan were to rise again, what would happen was unimaginable.

Of course, she did not really know how strong the human race was.

She tried not to think too much about these things.

She was more concerned about her own safety.

Escape was not an option.

"They must be looking for you for something," Gu Changsheng said casually.

"Senior, do you think the immortals are strong?" Bi Zhu asked.

"If they weren't, how could they have forced the Human Emperor to unite the other races just to defeat them?" Gu Changsheng said irritably.

"That's what's recorded in the history books, but what was your opinion of the immortals when you were at your peak, Senior?" Bi Zhu asked again.

"I have no opinion. There were no immortals in my era. But the Fallen Immortal Clan is definitely not to be messed with. Now that you've provoked them, you're probably going to suffer. It's really a pity… only eighteen years old… You might meet an early demise…" Gu Changsheng sighed deliberately.

"Senior, I'm only eighteen. Don't you want to help me?" she asked.

It was worrisome to provoke the Fallen Immortal Clan.

"I have the entire Shangguan Clan to worry about. Why should I help you?" Gu Changsheng asked.

Bi Zhu was speechless.

She felt bitter. It would be such a waste if she died here after enjoying so many benefits from Gu Changsheng.

"Senior, even with your help, the combined strength of the Shangguan Clan isn't greater than mine. They don't have more spirit stones than I do, nor do they have more sources of information. I still have a lot of value, and I'm only eighteen. I'm still the greatest genius in the royal family. I know the one who calls himself the number one through the ages. I know those who wield the most fearsome artifacts, and if something significant happens, I'll likely be the first to know about it, too. Compared to me, the Shangguan Clan still falls short. Of course, they're not that bad, but it's more convenient to have another channel for when you want to return, Senior," Bi Zhu said seriously.

Gu Changsheng was silent for a long time and then said, "What you said makes some sense. Have you had better luck recently?"

"Not really." Bi Zhu shook her head.

Then, she came to a realization.

That meant that he was not in danger.

She would be fine.

"Senior, after thinking about it, I feel that maybe you should go to the Shangguan Clan. We can part on good terms," Bi Zhu said with a smile.

"You're quick to burn the bridge before crossing the river," Gu Changsheng said coldly.

"I was just kidding. I'm only eighteen, after all," Bi Zhu laughed.

Actually, she was not entirely joking. Although she could get a lot of benefits from Gu Changsheng, she was not a fool.

Everything had a price. Who knew what price she would have to pay in the future?

It would be a good thing if she could cut ties with him just like that.

At that time, she would hide in the South and not worry about being caught up in the conflicts of the Great Era.

"Let me remind you, the immortals are very intimidating. If you know too much, you might not survive," said Gu Changsheng as a warning, then added, "By the way, you mentioned someone gave you something. Did you receive it?"

"I picked it up on the way." Bi Zhu nodded.

It was not easy, but luckily, the immortals also needed resources.

"Swallow and refine it, and then I'll teach you a secret method. It will allow you to bear a small part of my curse. If your offense against the immortals isn't too severe, you can escape. Also, you need to go somewhere to retrieve an item and deliver it," Gu Changsheng said.

"Deliver it to Lou Mantian?" Bi Zhu asked.

She had her own ideas on refining the immortal Gu worm. Senior Dan Yuan had taught her before.

It was to prevent Gu Changsheng from doing something through it.

As for delivering something, that was not much trouble.

Whether it was to give it to Lou Mantian's spokesperson or Lou Mantian himself, that was easily done.

"Deliver it to his spokesperson. Since he sent something over, it's natural to send something back to him," Gu Changsheng said.

Bi Zhu found it a bit strange. Gu Changsheng did not sound happy.

The two of them seemed to have beef to settle.

Bi Zhu did not think too much about it and decided to refine the immortal Gu worm.

...

At the Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao stayed at his house for three days.

Once he felt rested, he headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.

Without the spirit beast and Xiao Li, the Spirit Herb Garden was quiet.

But there was no problem with the daily orders.

With Cheng Chou around, everything was properly arranged.

It was only mid-February, and while Jiang Hao was still waiting for enough bubbles to appear, the Law Enforcement Hall arrived.

Liu Xingchen had brought some people to the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

They were right in front of Jiang Hao's courtyard, so they met him early in the morning.

Jiang Hao knew that they were not here with good intentions.

But he did not think he caused any trouble recently.

He was not worried.

It might just be a routine checkup. They would ask a few questions and leave.

Soon, he realized that was not the case.

"Junior Brother, the situation this time is special. We need your full cooperation, and you'll need to come with us to the Law Enforcement Hall," Liu Xingchen said.

Jiang Hao was speechless. Was it that serious?

In the past, only those who were suspected of killing their fellow disciples or those involved in huge profits would be taken to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Judging by Liu Xingchen's face, something interesting might have happened.

'But I really haven't done anything… Why is the Law Enforcement Hall here?' thought Jiang Hao.
