Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

It was not his choice. He would let everyone make their own decision.

Some people chose to leave. They asked Jiang Hao about the ores and the mines.

Jiang Hao told them they could have it.

They were even more excited to go back.

Some people looked at the few Golden Core Realm cultivators. If there was a Golden Core Realm cultivator among them, they would follow.

However, Xiao Xiaohui and the bald cultivator hesitated for a long time and eventually gave up.

They had faced Jiang Hao’s threat earlier and were afraid of retaliation. They sought refuge in stronger individuals.

In the end, only some of the people left.

Most of them lacked confidence and were afraid of making the wrong choice. So, it was better to follow the strong.

“If you want to leave, you can leave now. Don’t blame me for being heartless if you can’t leave later.” Zheng Shijiu looked at the people around coldly.

There was no response.

Jiang Hao didn’t mind. He would fulfill his responsibilities. Beyond that, they weren’t his concern.

They weren’t children, after all. They could make their own choices. As long as it didn’t affect his safety, he didn’t need to care. “Ah Zha, lead the way,” Jiang Hao said.

The others could only follow.

Among the people who stayed behind, most just went with the flow but some had stayed behind because they trusted Jiang Hao’s judgment.

In the end, these people discovered that the manager didn’t intervene when others went away and felt a bit regretful.

If they had left earlier, they could have gone back to mine and obtained a lot of spirit stones.

In the fog, everyone felt insecure, as if danger could strike at any moment.

Zheng Shijiu and Xin Yuyue, on the other hand, had confidence in Jiang Hao. They had worked together many times and knew him.

Xiao Xiaohui and the others were uneasy. The sea fog was becoming more intense. If it got any denser, they might lose their way entirely.

However, since things had come to this point, they could only grit their teeth and continue ahead.

After a while, the sea fog started to churn.

Their field of vision and their perception shrank.

Ah Zha didn’t dare to point in a random direction.

“The people who went back might have already reached the base,” someone said softly.

Jiang Hao stopped.

He looked in a certain direction with a frown.

“Senior, look over there!” Ah Zha turned to look.

A little while later, Ah Zha’s face changed.

“Oh no! How did these monsters end up here? We’re done for! Hurry! Run!” Ah Zha exclaimed in panic.

The others were confused.

Ah Zha wanted to escape alone but was grabbed by Jiang Hao.

“Senior, stay calm. Running randomly will be dangerous. Find a way out of the Sea Fog Cave,” Jiang Hao said.

Ah Zha felt immense pressure.

It hadn’t expected these things to appear. They had never come out during previous surges.

This also confirmed that it should learn from these humans in the future.

Boom!

As the sea fog closed, the tentacles began to attack.

Jiang Hao unsheathed his Half-Moon Blade and used the Demonic Sound Slash

Boom!

The blade flashed and temporarily dispersed some of the sea fog.

Thus, the thing underneath the sea fog was revealed.

Countless tentacles were swiftly rushing toward them. The frontmost tentacle had some blood stains on it, and it even held some ore.

It even held onto some severed human limbs. Blood was dripping from the severed parts.

Jiang Hao knew that those who had just left were in great danger.

The people behind him turned pale in shock.

They saw the ores, which meant…

They felt lucky to have followed Jiang Hao instead of going back.

“Senior Ah Zha, find a way out quickly!” Someone begged in fear.

“We can’t go the wrong way. If we do, we’ll be attacked from behind,” Jiang Hao said.

Ah Zha felt stressed.

It hadn’t expected these things to come out. They had never done so before.

Boom!

As the sea fog closed, the tentacles began their assault.

Jiang Hao slashed with his Half-Moon Blade. The tentacles were cut off.

But soon, new tentacles continued their attack.

“The strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage,” said Jiang Hao.

Xiao Xiaohui and the others were overjoyed. If it was only at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They could hold their own, especially with their four Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Boom!

Boom!

They fought for a while and retreated.

Even with four Golden Core Realm cultivators, they couldn’t stop the

Foundation Establishment Realm tentacles. Some of them were injured.

As time passed, the strength of these tentacles increased. They were almost at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Jiang Hao frowned. If they continued like this, these people would all die. He couldn’t go ahead alone.

Moreover, without Ah Zha, it was unlikely that he could find his way. He would have to use his golden rings to go back

Boom!

The tentacle attacks were relentless.

Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator couldn’t escape unscathed. Only Jiang Hao, who had studied the nameless manual and could finely control his power, could handle it with ease.

The bald Golden Core Realm cultivator tried to beat back the tentacles with his blade.

However, the more he fought, the more he was surrounded by numerous tentacles.

When he came to his senses, he found himself completely surrounded by the tentacles. They were surging toward him.

Even when he defeated a part of them, it was futile because new tentacles replaced them instantly.

These tentacles were shifting toward the Gold Core Realm cultivator gradually.

At that point, he had no way to retreat. He began to panic.

Although he had escaped to this point, he was now in a dire situation because of his impulsiveness.

He opened his mouth, attempting to plead for help.

But who would come to save him at this moment?

Everyone was selfish. When others were in crisis, they would not rush to help them at the expense of their own lives.

He should have understood this earlier, but…

He opened his mouth to ask for help.

Just then, a blade flashed.

“Thousand Demonic Tones!”

Boom!

The demonic sound roared as the blade cut through everything.

The bald Golden Core Realm cultivator, who was initially surrounded by tentacles, looked in disbelief as the blade approached. He was even more surprised at the person who wielded that blade.

He felt that he might as well devote his loyalty to this person.

Jiang Hao grabbed the person’s hand and pulled him out.

Then, he swung the Primordial Heavenly Blade.

“The intensity is approaching the Golden Core Realm,” Zheng Shijiu said wearily.

There were simply too many tentacles, and they couldn’t stop them all.

Jiang Hao realized that if they continued, everyone else would undoubtedly die.

He looked at the people around him and fell silent for a moment.

Everyone was afraid that Jiang Hao would leave them there and go off alone.

Evidently, their manager was very strong, and his sense of perception was exceptional.

If he left, he could obviously survive. Others would have no way of escape.

At that moment, they understood that Jiang Hao’s choice would decide their life and their death.

“You all go first,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

Everyone was incredulous to hear those words.

In truth, Zheng Shijiu had already planned to tell Jiang Hao to escape while he could and that there was no need for him to take them along.

However, Jiang Hao was telling them to escape first.

‘It is no wonder the people in the sect doubt him of practicing the Blood Wish Path because Junior Brother Jiang is always kind to others.’

Zheng Shijiu was shaken to his core..
