Chapter 463: I Suspect He’s Waiting for an Opportunity to Advance

Listening to Cheng Chou, Jiang Hao felt that this matter was becoming more and more troublesome.

Simple rumors wouldn’t affect him, but so many impostors had appeared, and it wasn’t just one or two of them. Senior Sister Qin had seen it, and now, Cheng Chou too.

He was curious if it would end if someone was caught. Probably not, as they would need to catch the real culprits.

“Senior Brother Jiang, the situation isn’t looking good,” Cheng Chou said.

“Yes, I understand.” Jiang Hao nodded and instructed Cheng Chou to focus on his tasks and not worry too much about this matter.

Cheng Chou couldn’t say much more about it. He knew that Jiang Hao’s abilities and methods far exceeded his own understanding, so he just followed his orders.

After taking care of the Spirit Herb Garden for a while, Jiang Hao got up.

He looked around the entire garden but didn’t see anyone suspicious.

In his opinion, this situation was likely orchestrated by someone, and they might still be watching the area. That person was the key to resolving the issue.

Waiting for the other party to show up wasn’t impossible, but it would be hard to control the situation.

At night, within the disciples’ quarters of the Flowing Waterfall, two men in their mid-twenties with late Foundation Establishment Realm sat facing each other in the hall.

They looked delighted as if they had finally found hope in their cultivation paths.

“Who would have thought that the Blood Wish Path could help us advance so quickly,” said the man with a scar at the corner of his eye. He sounded excited as if it was the first time he had advanced in his cultivation realm in a long time.

“Yes. The Blood Wish Path allows for such rapid progress, but I feel like more and more people are taking action now. Too many people are dying,” said the frail-looking man in concern.

“Don’t worry. It’s all thanks to the senior from the Cliff of Broken Hearts, anyway. He’s a senior in the Blood Wish Path. Don’t be fooled by his late Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation. He might just be hiding his true strength. There’s a good chance he’s already in the Golden Core Realm. We’re advancing so quickly, so he shouldn’t be slow either,” the scarred man said.

“What if he finds out we’re impersonating him?” asked the frail man.

“There are so many impersonators out there. Some willingly give us their names. So, if they’re looking for someone, they’ll probably go for others first. Besides, within the sect, he wouldn’t dare to mess with us,” the scarred man said.

He understood the rules of the sect. If you played your cards right, it could be your protective umbrella.

“That’s true. Once we reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment

Realm, we can exchange information on how to enter the Golden Core Realm. After that, we just need to consult some seniors,” the frail man said in agreement.

“Indeed, once we enter the Golden Core Realm, we won’t have to worry about anything anymore. Speaking of which, why do I feel like the sky is darker today than before?” the frail man said.

“Is it?” The scarred man was puzzled.

Without thinking too much, they continued discussing their future plans.

In a corner of the hall, a figure gradually appeared.

It seemed like he had just arrived, but it also felt like he had been there all along.

When the two men left, he walked out of the corner, exited the hall, and left the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, his figure became clearer.

It was Jiang Hao. He had been investigating the situation.

The commotion caused by the Blood Wish Path was becoming significant, and he couldn’t ignore it anymore.

While he wasn’t concerned about simple rumors, the appearance of impostors raised serious issues.

The person targeting him hadn’t shown themselves yet, so he needed to find them and resolve the situation.

He had been watching two individuals, Huo Lai and Bao Cheng.

Cheng Chou had found out that they both cultivated the Blood Wish Path willingly.

So, he had come here to investigate.

His original intention was to ask them in person, so he pulled them into the Heavenly Cauldron.

But he found out that they were going to visit their seniors and decided not to show themselves.

He appraised one of them.

He confirmed that they were practicing the Blood Wish Path. It was similar to what he had discovered about Pei Yuan.

It appeared that they were also getting help from Yin Wei. Finding Yin Wei would likely yield valuable information.

As for Qian Chen, he couldn’t investigate that yet.

The undercover agents hadn’t sent him any information. He was only aware of three undercover agents who were also his acquaintances: Liu Xingchen, Senior Sister Ming Yi, and Senior Sister Hua Le.

Liu Xingchen was currently away and would take some time to return. Hua Le rarely had contact with him, and Senior Sister Ming Yi should have been sending him information, but he didn’t know what she was doing now.

Jiang Hao returned to his house and began to study the fourth form of the Heavenly Blade.

He had to completely comprehend it before Chu Chuan’s return and make modifications to adapt it to the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he couldn’t modify it, Chu Chuan wouldn’t be able to learn it.

Every time Baizhi came to the Hundred Flowers Lake, she felt scared.

She couldn’t even breathe freely.

And in the entire sect, apart from her, no one else was qualified to approach this place.

The Sect Master hadn’t left here since emerging from seclusion.

She no longer concerned herself with sect matters. She was investigating something else.

It seemed that someone was targeting the Heavenly Note Sect, and there was a certain possibility that they might be from The End of All Things.

The Sect Master’s plans surpa.s.sed her expectations.

Baizhi took a deep breath and approached the pavilion.

She saw the Sect Master sitting there, like a peerless beauty. She looked detached from worldly affairs.

She was afraid to stare at the Sect Master too closely.

He bowed respectfully. “Sect Master…” After a short wait, Baizhi heard her speak.

“Speak,” said the Sect Master.

“Lately, it seems that various major sects want to use the Blood Wish Path as a pretext to target us. There should be other motives behind it.”

Hong Yuye looked at the teacup on the table. “What motives?”

“There’s a good chance it’s related to the mines. They brought back some items before, and although they weren’t extraordinary treasures, they might be convinced that there are valuable treasures in the mine. However, considering the short time gap, they shouldn’t have had a reason to act so soon. There might be other instigators,” Baizhi said.

She didn’t mention Jiang Hao being in the thick of it all because it wasn’t a significant matter.

As long as he remained in the sect, regardless of what those other sects wanted, the Heavenly Note Sect wouldn’t hand him over to them.

Last time, they nearly made a big mistake.

Now that they understood Jiang Hao’s value, those people wouldn’t be able to take him unless they were willing to provoke the entire Heavenly Note Sect. They probably hoped for a conflict to achieve their goals.

“Is there anything else?” Hong Yuye asked. She seemed uninterested in these matters.

“Jiang Hao has returned from outside, and so far, there’s nothing particularly unusual about him. His cultivation realm is still at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. According to my speculation, he might be waiting for a good opportunity to advance to make it seem less conspicuous, ” Baizhi said carefully. “This time, he should have received guidance from someone behind the scenes. However, he hasn’t advanced yet, which suggests that the timing isn’t right. He is still on the suspect list, but there’s been no evidence of any betrayal toward the sect. The person behind him is extremely cautious, and we haven’t gained any information so far.”

“Continue the investigation,” Hong Yuye said calmly.. “What about the Sea Fog

Cave?”
