Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

There were many people around, and he wasn’t sure if it might attract trouble.

“Friend Xuanyuan,” Jiang Hao responded politely.

He didn’t mention the ancient flower from the Xuanyuan Clan. They had only talked about it in the dungeon. They weren’t particularly close.

“It seems like you’re in trouble, Friend Jiang,” Xuanyuan Tai said as he looked toward the three people at the side.

“Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding, Friend Xuanyuan.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

He had no intention of letting anyone know that he had noticed something.

Xuanyuan Tai nodded. “I heard that you had conflicts with our sect?”

“It’s just a misunderstanding,” Jiang Hao said.

At that point, others felt something was amiss.

It seemed like they were here to inquire, and yet they were being extremely polite.

“But some people don’t think so. However, it doesn’t matter. Friend, just focus on your own affairs,” Xuanyuan Tai said with a smile. “What I said earlier still counts.”

‘What did he say?’ Jiang Hao was puzzled.

Many years had passed, and he couldn’t possibly remember everything clearly.

After thinking for a moment, he thought that Xuanyuan Tai was trying to win him over.

‘But why?’

Xuanyuan Tai left, and the people around dispersed.

Many people didn’t understand the relationship between the two, but one thing was evident: Xuanyuan Tai was standing up for Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao also noticed that the person who had been watching him looked very displeased.

It seemed like Xuanyuan Tail s words had put him in a difficult position. “Do you know Xuanyuan Tai, Junior Brother Jiang?” Xia Cun asked curiously.

“Do you all remember the ambush at the mine many years ago? The one where we were attacking Azure Mountain,” said Nan Yushu.

“Remember, it’s said that at that time, the heads of various sects were lurking in the mine and waiting for them to arrive. In the end, they were all captured,”

Kong Hu said. “At that time, Junior Brother Jiang made significant contributions.”

“Yes.” Nan Yushu nodded. “At that time, Xuanyuan Tai was an important member, and he could have escaped by chance, but he happened to encounter Junior Brother Jiang and was captured in the end. They probably met like that.”

Jiang Hao felt a bit embarrassed listening to this. At that time, he was definitely not a match for Xuanyuan Tai.

Even if he had hidden his strength, he was only at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, while Xuanyuan Tai was at least at the late Primordial Spirit Realm.

Such a powerhouse was not someone he could be presumptuous with.

Everything was just a coincidence, plus Senior Brother Manlong was present. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

After exchanging a few polite words, the conversation ended.

At night, Jiang Hao deliberately chose a darker path and planned to use the Heavenly Cauldron to imprison those who intended to harm him and then assess the situation.

However, after waiting for a long time, the person watching him never appeared. Even when he walked back to the previous path, no one appeared.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

‘It’s probably because of Xuanyuan Tai.’

Because of the ancient flower, it was understandable that Xuanyuan Tai would want to help him. After all, he was a decent person.

Jiang Hao thought about Xuanyuan Tai back in his courtyard. He had a high chance of becoming the Grand Earth Sovereign.

However, it wasn’t an overnight process like building a foundation. It might take time.

There would undoubtedly be other competitors.

“I wonder what kind of people the other competitors are.”

If the Grand Earth Sovereign had no grievances with him, that would be great.

If there were grievances, it would be quite troublesome.

In the following days, more people from the Blackheaven Sect came to their sect.

This included Xuanyuan He, who had taught him different languages before.

In addition, there were some seniors with good teaching abilities, whose cultivation realms were not high, but they had good reputations.

This surprised Jiang Hao and the others.

What was even more surprising was that these people started instructing the disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect openly.

They explained the methods of cultivation publicly and answered all their questions.

There were also many cultivation resources.

Jiang Hao knew that the Blackheaven Sect and the Heavenly Note Sect must have come to a huge agreement.

In other words, the two sides would not engage in a major conflict for the time being. It was all probably for the sake of the Grand Earth Sovereign.

The days became peaceful because there were no people from the Blackheaven Sect watching them until early March.

Jiang Hao stopped a person.

She was a disciple of the Blackheaven Sect. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

She didn’t have a token.

“The exchange conference is still under preparation. Prior to entering the Heavenly Note Sect, you need a token,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

The young woman in front of him had her hair tied up high. She was wearing a pink dress. She was accompanied by a Primordial Spirit Realm, but there was something unusual about his aura.

He seemed to be injured.

As for the young woman…

She appeared to be at the Foundation Establishment Realm, but her spiritual energy and lifeblood extended far and wide. Her spiritual energy fluctuated.

It far surpassed the strong individuals he had encountered.

He had come across this kind of aura somewhere before…

“I am Bi Zhu. Are you Senior Brother Jiang Hao? The incident where you single-handedly defeated seven disciples of our sect has become widely known,” Bi Zhu said with a smile.

Jiang Hao was surprised at her name. She might be Gui from the gathering.

She used her real name, but she was in disguise.

“Could we talk about the token first?” asked Jiang Hao politely.

He didn’t want to have any dealings with this person, and it would be best not to have any contact, even if she was here to deliver the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.

“Senior Brother Jiang, as a Golden Core Realm cultivator, do you need to be so polite to a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator like me?” Bi Zhu asked curiously.

“A visitor is a guest,” Jiang Hao said softly.

“Oh, then let’s communicate with the others,” Bi Zhu nodded earnestly.

The last person was another young woman from the Blackheaven Sect, whom Jiang Hao didn’t recognize.

But she did use a token.

After that, he sat back down. Gui had arrived. He had to be careful.

The opponent was too strong, and he couldn’t act recklessly. It would be easy to be noticed.

At that point, Bi Zhu, who had entered the Heavenly Note Sect, bid farewell to the senior sister who came out to welcome her.

“Do you really know the way, Junior Sister? Please don’t wander around,” the senior sister said with some concern.

Finally, she left.

“Why did you come here, Princess?” Qiao Yi asked as she worriedly looked in the direction of the Sea Fog Cave.

“There’s a faint aura of the Saint Bandits there, but it’s very weak. However, this place is definitely being watched by the Saint Bandits.”

Bi Zhu was somewhat surprised. “Qiao Yi, you can perceive it so clearly?”

“I came here to complete a transaction this time and won’t delay for too long. This place is very strange, and I don’t want to linger, especially when there is a mysterious and unpredictable person lurking around..”
