Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1249: Becoming a True Disciple (2)

Chapter 1249: Becoming a True Disciple (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“For the sake of my reputation, I temporarily let you off the list. You are free to do whatever you want in the sect. You don’t need to report when you go out for half a month, and you don’t need to go through the Task Hall to receive missions. If you need more than half a month, then you’ll need to visit the Task Hall. If the sect’s mission is short-term, you might be a.s.signed. Is that acceptable?”

Jiang Hao lowered his head and thought about it. It would be dangerous outside after the Great Era War. He did not want to go out if he could.

It had been a while since he went out for a mission for just half a month.

But it would indeed be convenient.

“You can continue to stay in the Spirit Herb Garden,” Ku Wu Chang said. After a moment of consideration, he added, “You can stay as long as you want.”

That afternoon, a message came from the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

Jiang Hao became a True Disciple.

His name was also removed from the Law Enforcement Hall’s suspect list, but it was only temporary. Many restrictions still existed, but they were not so stringent.

After the news spread, the Cliff of Broken Hearts was shocked.

They felt that Senior Brother Jiang had done it again.

When people heard his name, they felt puzzled for a moment.

After more than ten years, people had almost forgotten this name.

After some time, everyone remembered that this was the Senior Brother who was a candidate and followed the Blood Wish Path.

People were not convinced that Jiang Hao had become a True Disciple.

He felt that it was all because of the Blood Wish Path. If they followed the Blood Wish Path, they would have been stronger, too.

However, they hated that path.

Jiang Hao did not take these people’s words to heart.

However, there was a benefit to leaving for more than ten years. Many people had forgotten about him.

His influence in the sect was not so much.

Only a few people remembered him.

Most people had a.s.sumed he had just disappeared.

Before, everyone knew him, but a few months later, they could not even remember his name.

There were many people in the sect. The new generation had replaced the old.

“I wonder if the people in the Task Hall still remember me.”

Jiang Hao doubted it.

He could report in the next few days.

As for the spirit stones…

He did not have so many in the past, but he had around four million at that instant.

Hu Yuexin had been wealthy.

He had also found quite a lot of Dharma treasures.

The spirit sword that he had given Cheng Chou was from her storage treasure.

After the appraisal, he made sure that there was no problem with it.

He had 4.8 million. It would take hundreds of years to finish that many spirit stones.

He took out 500,000 spirit stones and returned them to Xiao Li.

After that, he would have to pay more than 100,000 spirit stones to complete his mission.

He bought twenty packs of September Spring.

The tea leaves were only worth 400,000 spirit stones.

There were still 3.8 million spirit stones left.

He would not need to draw talismans and sell them for hundreds of years.

After that, he secretly sent a letter to the Lawless Tower.

He wanted them to know that Feng Hua’s avatar was inside the tower. He also wanted to tell them that this was the last avatar and once she left the Lawless Tower, she would instantly drop dead.

Maybe Feng Hua would appreciate it.

Jiang Hao did not tell them directly who the avatar was.

With the abilities of the Lawless Tower, they should be able to guess instantly.

Lawless Tower.

At that moment, Yan Shang was terrified.

Although she did not know what was going on, she felt that something was not right.

She was going to die.

If not for the tower that imprisoned her, she might have died already.

It was as though she felt a knife hanging over her head when she slept.

It would fall at any moment.

She could not sleep because of it.

The others were puzzled and even asked, but they did not say anything.

Yan Shang only felt fear and unease.

For more than ten years, the people on the fifth floor had been talking about Jiang Hao.

He had not returned for such a long time.

They did not know if he would even come back.

“Do you think the Great Era War is here? What does Hai Luo’s Master intend to do?” Mi Lingyue asked.

Everyone else was silent.

No one knew the details.

At that moment, they heard footsteps.

Yinsha walked in.

She ignored everyone and went straight to Yan Shang.

Yan Shang raised her head.

“Looks like it really is you, Feng Hua.” Yinsha sighed with emotion. “I heard you have a beef against Smiling San Sheng?”

“What do you mean?” Yan Shang asked.

“Looking at you… you should have felt it, right?” Yinsha said. “You can guess what has happened outside.”

“What?” Yan Shang did not want to admit it, but she was curious about what had happened.

“Your main body is dead. Not just that… all your avatars are dead. You’re the only one left,” said Yinsha. “Perhaps you don’t believe me, but I have to tell you, you will die once you leave the Lawless Tower. Smiling San Sheng used a method to cut you down. The knife hangs over your head. Once you leave the Lawless Tower, it’ll fall.”

At first, Yan Shang did not believe it, but when she heard about the knife, she was convinced.

When Yinsha said that she would die if she stepped out of this tower, she believed her.

Yinsha laughed.

“You have two choices now. One is to cooperate with us. The other… Well, you can step out of this tower. You have time to think about it,” said Yinsha. “But once your value runs out here, it’ll be useless.”

After that, she turned around and left.

“Did you guys notice?” the lantern bearer asked. “If we stay in the tower, we might live much longer than the people outside.”

“With your cultivation, you’d die in a few decades outside,” said Zhuang Dongyun.

“Oh, by the way…” Yinsha stopped in her tracks and turned around. “Smiling San Sheng might have killed Hu Yuexin by now.”

Zhuang Dongyun was speechless.

“I told you.” The lantern bearer laughed.

Was Smiling San Sheng that strong?

Mi Lingyue, who knew Smiling San Sheng, felt strange.

Was he not at the Return to Void Realm?

It had only been a few years, and he had already killed Hu Yuexin.

He must be an immortal by now.

“Speaking of which, the Great Era War is coming. Many things will become insignificant at that time. Can we go out then?” Old Man Corpse Sea asked.

“The Great Era War is here. Is it safe for us to go out?” asked the lantern bearer.

“When the Great Era War arrives, will Hai Luo’s Master continue to be this strong?” Mi Lingyue asked.

With the arrival of the Great Era War, many things would change. Many opportunities would appear, and the formidable people would end up being nothing more than ordinary cultivators.

No one knew what kind of world it would turn out to be.

“Actually, the Heavenly Note Sect would be the most dangerous place in the Great Era War. Perhaps the reason why Hai Luo’s Master hasn’t appeared for so many years is because he has left,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.

The others were surprised.

“You might not know what the Heavenly Note Sect has.” Zhuang Yuzhen sighed. “You should know how many powerful devices are here. Other than the Lawless Tower, there is also a divine mirror here. Do you really think this place will be safe?”

“The mine of the Heavenly Note Sect is no small matter. It’s an ancient battlefield. There are treasures buried there,” Mi Lingyue said.

Everyone gasped.

If that were true, how many people would compete to s.n.a.t.c.h it when the Great Era War arrived?

Could the Heavenly Note Sect defend itself?

Hai Luo’s Master might have known about this. That was why he must have run away.

“If Lawless Tower changes its owners, will we also become their prisoners?” asked the lantern bearer.

Everyone was speechless.

It seemed that things were only going to get worse.

They had to get used to it.

…

At the end of July, huge waves rose up overseas.

The news of Smiling San Sheng leading the Twelve Heavenly Kings to become immortals spread like a tidal wave.

In the past, only a few knew about him, but at present, everyone knew his name.

Not just that, his name also swept through the four regions like wildfire.

In a few years, the entire world would know the name, Smiling San Sheng.

He had done the impossible and created a new immortal path. He had then led the Twelve Heavenly Kings to immortality.

It was truly the name of someone who had ended up being the first person to do what he did.

When the Holy Master received the news, his hands on his teacup trembled.

The teacup fell to the ground.
