Chapter 551: Befriending Demonic Cultivators
“Wha-“
“Who are you!?”
Roar?
Seeing someone appearing directly in front of them, the demonic cultivators and the blue coloured demon beast stopped their fight as they sized up the person that had suddenly appeared in front of them.
“Hm… Now that I think about it, I would only need the one with the tracking ability…”
Listening to the person who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere in front of them mutter something to himself as he ignored them, the demonic cultivators felt annoyed over the fact that they had been ignored, while the blue coloured demon beast had recovered from the shock of suddenly seeing someone appear in front of it.
Roar!
Before the demonic cultivators had a chance to say anything to the mysterious person that had appeared in front of them, the demon beast let out an angry roar filled with killing intent before charging towards Xuan Hao.
In the demon beast’s eyes, Xuan Hao was just another human who had appeared together with the others to steal from its food supply. For this reason, demon beast did not bother thinking about how Xuan Hao had been able to appear in front of it before it attacked. Not bothering to think how it had not been able to detect him.
Swish~
Seeing the demon beast that was charging towards him filled with killing intent, Xuan Hao directly used his Sword Domain. Instantly killing the demon beast before it even had a chance to understand what had just happened to it.
Thump!
“”…””
The demonic cultivators speechlessly watched as the demon beast they had been struggling to deal with fell dead on the ground all of a sudden. From start to finish, they had no idea how the demon beast had suddenly died, but all of them were certain that the person who had just appeared in front of them had something to do with it.
For this reason, all three of them could not help feeling a shiver run down their spine as they realized that the person who had appeared in front of them was an existence far stronger than them!
“Y-you are the person from back then!” As the two other demonic cultivators were thinking about how to get out of their current situation alive, the demonic cultivator from the Black Rose Sect could not help exclaiming in shock as he recognized Xuan Hao from his past visit to the Black Rose Sect when they had still been stationed inside the territory of the Flying Sword Sect.
Even now, he could still remember how his sect master had been beaten up by the other party without any chance to properly fight back against the other party.
Thinking about it, the demonic cultivator suddenly realized that he was way weaker than his sect master had been back then!
“You know this person? Is he perhaps a demonic cultivator?”
“If he is not a demonic cultivator, why would he bother entering a place like this filled with yin qi? Even if there were any treasures in here, they are of no use to those normal cultivators…”
About to kill off the two demonic cultivators from the Frost Devil Sect and getting the one from the Black Rose Sect to guide him to where Zhu Lian was located, Xuan Hao suddenly thought of something as he grabbed hold of the demonic cultivator from the Black Rose Sect before he had time to answer the other two demonic cultivators.
“I’m a demonic cultivator who became friends with your sect master in the past… Got it?”
“Y-yes!”
Not daring to say a word as he heard Xuan Hao’s voice inside his head having been transferred through his divine sense, the demonic cultivator from the Black Rose Sect could only fearfully nod his head. Knowing very well how he would end up if he disagreed with him…
“Good!” Smiling happily after seeing that he understood, Xuan Hao let go of him. Killing the demonic cultivators for now was not a good idea, as he might be able to use them to find the location of the Frost Devil Sect after he found Zhu Lian and made sure she was safe…
“Is something wrong?” Seeing Xuan Hao suddenly grab hold of their companion, the other two could not help feeling a bit confused.
“N-no, it’s nothing, this person is a friend of my sect master and just so happened to chance upon this place like us.”
“Indeed, I happened to meet the sect master of the Black Rose Sect in the past. Back then, both of us got along quite well and he even helped save my life in the past, so it’s only a given that I help look after his people!” Not allowing for the two other demonic cultivators to grow suspicious, Xuan Hao quickly cooperated what the demonic cultivator from the Black Rose Sect said.
“I see… So, it’s a friend of the Black Rose Sect!”
“I didn’t expect for the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect to have such a strong friend… Might I be so bold as to ask which transformation you have reached…?”
Hearing the question, Xuan Hao released his aura together with his Ice Domain, as it was rather similar to yin qi. Together, it formed an aura not too dissimilar to a demonic cultivator!
“The… The Third Demonic Transformation!” Feeling the powerful and ice-cold aura being released, the demonic cultivator who asked the question feeling quite sceptical regarding the identity of Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine upon realizing that the person in front of him was indeed a demonic cultivator. Not only that, but it was a demonic cultivator only a single step away from the True Demon Realm!
“I apologize for my rude behaviour! I hope senior will spare this junior!” Falling to his knees the instant he realized this, he quickly begged for forgiveness. After all, he very well understood just how ruthless those powerful demonic cultivators were!
Even if it was someone from his sect, if he disrespected one of those powerful demonic cultivators, he might still end up dead!
“… No worries, I will let you go on behalf of the Black Rose Sect!” Narrowing his eyes as he said this, Xuan Hao wondered whether he should kill the demonic cultivator to sell his image of a demonic cultivator to the last remaining demonic cultivator from the Frost Devil Sect. After all, he only needed one of them to show him the way to the Frost Devil Sect…
“Thank you senior! This junior will not forget your kindness!”
“Don’t let it happen again!”
Seeing the demonic cultivator nodding his head eagerly knowing that he had just escaped from death, Xuan Hao had a feeling that he would have a higher chance at getting them to show him the way to their sect this way.
“Might I ask for what reason senior has come here? With you cultivation, these yin flowers should not be useful to you…” Having already understood that Xuan Hao had a reason to spare him and the other demonic cultivators, the one from the Black Rose Sect asked this. Trying his best to not show a fearful expression in front of the other two demonic cultivators.
“Hm… Actually, I came here looking for someone. An old woman, who should be somewhere in here according to my information… Do any of you perhaps have any idea about the location of this person?”
“Ah! I think we know about this person! We have been chasing an old woman for the last few days and she happened to hide in here. Perhaps this is the person you are searching for?” Finishing what he was saying, the demonic cultivator slowly drew a portrait of Zhu Lian in the air in front of him with his qi for Xuan Hao to see.
“Indeed! This is the person I have been searching for! Do you perhaps have any idea on where to find her?” Feeling happy upon confirming that it was indeed Zhu Lian, Xuan Hao asked this while keeping an eye on the demonic cultivator from the Black Rose Sect.
“Yes, brother Beetle planted one of his bugs on her and can track her!”
“Is that true…?”
“Yes… I do have a way to find her!”
“Great! Help me find her and I will allow you three to keep all the yin flowers here!” Already knowing that the demonic cultivator from the Black Rose Sect called Beetle had a way to find Zhu Lian, Xuan Hao still decided to act surprised as he said this. Instantly causing the two demonic cultivators from the Frost Devil Sect to encourage their friend to help.
Whoosh~
Hoping that Xuan Hao would keep his promise after finding the person he was looking for, Beetle quickly used his technique to find the location of the bug he had placed on Zhu Lian.
“Hm?” However, he quickly realized something was wrong, as he soon realized that the bug in question was no longer alive. All he could get was the location just before its death!
“The location of the bug is not too far from here-” Not daring to share this news with Xuan Hao for fear that he might be killed off by the other party, Beetle decided to give Xuan Hao the location just before the death of the tracking bug.
Whoosh~
Not doubting the authenticity of what Beetle said, Xuan Hao quickly left in the direction that he had given him.
The main reason why he did not doubt the authenticity of what Beetle had told him, was because the location he had given him was extremely close to his current location.
As a demonic cultivator, Beetle should at the very least understand what would happen if he gave him wrong information…
