Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1653: Chapter 1379: Onward to the East, Should My Name Be Proclaimed as Well?_2 Chapter 1653: Chapter 1379: Onward to the East, Should My Name Be Proclaimed as Well?_2 After all, everyone knew that Cheng Chou had the backing of Jiang Hao, the tenth-ranked top disciple.

“There are demons that want to take over that place,” Cheng Chou said with some difficulty:

“It seems they are not just any ordinary demons.”

“If it were just about occupying the place, that wouldn't be much of an issue.”

“But they want to destroy everything and rebuild a grand demon palace.”

Jiang Hao was quite curious, “That place is quite close to the Heavenly Note Sect, why are they so bold?”

“They don't take the Heavenly Note Sect seriously,” Cheng Chou said softly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao sighed.

It seems they are not very strong demons.

Otherwise, how could they look down on the Heavenly Note Sect at this time?

Any race involved in the struggle for the Dao fruit knew better than to provoke the Heavenly Note Sect.

After all, the Blood Demon has appeared here.

This place is not so good.

Starting a sect nearby is definitely not a good choice.

“I'll go take a look at the situation,” Jiang Hao said softly.

He had nothing else to do, and a stroll nearby wasn't a bad idea.

It could be considered a way to stabilize his state of mind, good for improving his cultivation.

Lately, his cultivation had improved a lot.

He had newfound enlightenment from his last Inquiry into the Dao, which helped his cultivation advance.

But there was still a long way to go till the next advancement.

He needed to cultivate earnestly.

“Should I personally go? I'll accompany you, brother,” Cheng Chou said seriously.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and replied, “That's fine.”

After all, he didn't know the way.

Last time, he went directly using the Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth.

He didn't know the actual distance.

“When do we set off?” Cheng Chou asked.

“How about now,” Jiang Hao replied.

At this moment, he just saw Miao Tinglian and Senior Brother Mu Qi approaching.

Miao Tinglian seemed very excited as she came over, probably with some good news.

Therefore, without waiting for her to start speaking, Jiang Hao took the lead and said, “Senior brother and sister, you've come at the right time, we're about to leave for a bit. This place will be left in your hands.”

Before the sound of his voice had faded, he swiftly disappeared with Cheng Chou.

Miao Tinglian looked speechless: “What's he doing?”

“Avoiding you,” Mu Qi replied.

“Who avoids someone bringing their couple a gift? Is he out of his mind?” Miao Tinglian said.

“Perhaps it's because he has too much on his mind,” Mu Qi said indifferently.

Miao Tinglian: “…”

—

Jiang Hao and Cheng Chou stepped out of the sect's main gates.

“Where is it?” he asked.

Cheng Chou pointed in a direction.

Jiang Hao then took Cheng Chou and started flying on their swords.

Their speed was very fast.

But Cheng Chou found it strange, “Brother, aren't you using spells to boost us?”

“What spells?” Jiang Hao asked.

“They all know spells like the 'Great Peng Spreading Wings' and such,” Cheng Chou said.

Jiang Hao felt regretful, he didn't know them.

He had never learned them.

But flying on a sword wasn't difficult.

“Flying on a sword doesn't necessarily require spells,” Jiang Hao said thoughtfully:

“As long as you can control spiritual energy, you can use the least amount of spiritual energy to drive the Spirit Sword under your feet.

“You can even speed up.”

He suggested Cheng Chou give it a try.

At that moment, Cheng Chou closed his eyes and began to operate the sword.

Jiang Hao knew the other was a bit slow to grasp it and tapped on his forehead.

Soon Cheng Chou seemed to see all the spiritual energy in his body and even made an effort to mobilize them.

A moment later, their speed increased considerably.

Jiang Hao easily kept up.

Then he manifested the Light and Dust technique.

In just a short time,

the two had arrived at the location Cheng Chou mentioned.

Only then did Cheng Chou come to his senses.

Seeing the familiar place, he was somewhat surprised.

Are we here already?

“Did I comprehend for a long time?” Cheng Chou asked uncertainly.

“It's just afternoon,” Jiang Hao looked at the sky and said.

Half a day, and they were there already?

“Let's go down and take a look,” Jiang Hao landed on the ground.

This was a city, and there seemed to be quite a few sects around.

But they were just ordinary small sects, nothing special.

Perhaps none of their masters even had reached Return to Void.

“Where have the demons taken up position?” Jiang Hao didn't see them.

“They haven't arrived yet, but they've told those who don't want to die to leave,” Cheng Chou said.

“That generous?” Jiang Hao was a bit surprised.

“Yes, they are concerned about Junior Sister Xiaoli,” Cheng Chou explained:

“There's a legend here that if there's too much bloodshed, a Heavenly Immortal will appear from the nine heavens.

“To sweep away everything, the demons think it might be some monster.”

“So as long as the monster's incense is extinguished, they would have nothing to fear.”

“Incense Dao?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

“I don't understand it either,” Cheng Chou shook his head.

“Friend Xing, excuse me.” Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Jiang Hao turned his head and saw a group of young people, holding Spirit Swords, wanting to enter the city.

Each of them had a cultivation above the Golden Core Realm, and there were even a few from the Primordial Spirit Realm.

“Friend, are you also here to hunt demons?” the leading young man asked.

He held a folding fan, elegant like a refined scholar.

Jiang Hao nodded, “Yes.”

“Do you know much about this place? Oh, by the way, my name is Mo Dan. What about you?” Mo Dan asked.

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and replied,

“Jiang Hao.”

“Jiang Hao?” Upon hearing this, the group of young people looked surprised and excited, “Are you the senior Jiang Hao from Heavenly Note Sect?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao kept his expression unchanged and shook his head, “Blackheaven Sect's Jiang Hao.”

At his words, the crowd looked a bit disappointed.

It seemed that they regretted not having seen Jiang Hao from Heavenly Note Sect.

“You know Jiang Hao from Heavenly Note Sect?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Mo Dan's expression became animated, “Many years ago, his junior brother saved us. He wielded the Heavenly Thunder Banner and led us out of the encirclement.”

“He said all his skills were taught by his senior brother Jiang Hao.”

“He gave him his confidence.”

“Back then we were just kids, wanting to repay that senior.”

“But that senior told us to find his senior brother instead.”

“That senior said he lives a life of integrity and didn't want to leave his name behind for fear of being misunderstood.”

“If we wanted to show gratitude, we should do it to his senior brother.”

Following that, a fairy guard continued, “Yeah, that senior controlled the Heavenly Yin Thunder, which blocked out the sun like dark clouds over the city.”

“Extremely powerful.”

“So we all wanted to find this senior Jiang Hao.”

“To express our thanks in person.”

Jiang Hao: “…”

Upon these people mentioning the Heavenly Thunder Banner, his face darkened.

These people were indeed like those Chu Chuan had saved before.

What was Chu Chuan doing?

Repaying kindness with enmity?

If things kept going this way, would his name spread from the southern region to the eastern one?

Was Chu Chuan doing good deeds without leaving his name, only leaving his senior brother's?

“It seems he really is a good person,” Jiang Hao remarked.

The others agreed completely.

“Friend, let's go take a look. There's a monster here; our martial uncles and martial granduncles are on the way. Just hold it off for a moment or two will be good,” Mo Dan said earnestly.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He had come for the demonic beasts and also to help clean up the graves.

The small girl hadn't been here in a long time, and Cheng Chou couldn't come often.

After entering the city, Jiang Hao saw many people packing up.

Yet, they couldn't bear to leave.

This was their home, where they had lived for many years, and now they had to leave like this.

How could they bear it?

But if they didn't leave, they could die.

Seeing Jiang Hao and his group enter the city, many people put down their luggage as if they had found a glimmer of hope.

Jiang Hao's eyes lowered.

Ordinary people could only hope for those in immortal cultivation.

But how many cultivators truly cared about them?

Seeing this, Mo Dan spoke confidently to the crowd:

“Don't worry, we will do our utmost to help you vanquish the demons.

Still, you should leave as soon as possible. I fear we might fail and the demons could harm you.

But don't worry too much; our seniors are just behind us.

We will ultimately succeed.

You should first wait outside and only return when you're sure it's safe.”

Upon hearing this, the people around were moved to tears.

Watching this unfold, Jiang Hao couldn't help but say,

“Truly, heroes emerge from the youth, far surpassing me by an unknown measure.”

Mo Dan laughed, “Friend, you're too kind. We're just following that senior's example.

I suspect that senior learned from his senior brother Jiang Hao.”

Jiang Hao: “…”

Cheng Chou stood to the side with his head lowered.

Jiang Hao felt like he wanted to laugh.

This excursion had damaged his reputation.

All thanks to Chu Chuan's doing.

Jiang Hao shook his head slightly.

Not long after they entered the city, some demonic energy appeared in the sky.

The crowd's brows furrowed.

“It has arrived quicker than expected,” Mo Dan said seriously, “Let's go check it out.”

Soon, they made their way to the west of the city.

A large number of demons began to approach on the ground.

Leading them was a man with a helmet, not in demonic form.

Jiang Hao looked at these demons and felt a bit strange.

“The breath of the Corpse Sea, why is it like this?”

“What's the Corpse Sea?” Mo Dan asked.

“A very strange place. It seems they might have come into contact with something that fell from there,” Jiang Hao explained.

He could confirm that these demons were normal, but there was the breath of the Corpse Sea in their bodies.

They must have touched something.

Could it be that some caskets had once again fallen out?

“No matter what, we can't let them get closer, if they approach any closer, those people in the city will be in danger,” Mo Dan said to Jiang Hao, “Friend, your cultivation is modest. When the time comes, just observe, and if there's danger, run. Don't worry about us; we came not expecting to leave safely. This is our duty, but you seem to be just passing by.

No need to act recklessly.”
