Chapter 493: Such Killing Must Be the Work of the Blackheaven Sect

At night, Jiang Hao walked along a path.

There was a person walking ahead and smiling.

He was accompanied by someone. They were talking and laughing.

“Today’s gains are not bad. How about you?” the middle-aged man asked his companion.

“Mine’s great too. I almost got into a conflict with someone, but I handled it properly,” the younger man said nonchalantly.

“The Heavenly Note Sect is indeed remote. They follow orders obediently like a sheep,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

“This time we got a lot more gains than usual,” the young man said.

“Today, I also saw a pretty woman. I’ll do her in a few days. She’s in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm and seems to have just advanced.” The young man licked his lips l.u.s.tfully.

“This place is far from overseas, and indeed, it has its own unique flavor,” the middle-aged man said with a smile. “Today, I also encountered a good talisman vendor. I bought something from him with fake spirit stones. He looked so powerless when he realized it. It’s really the same everywhere.” “Hahaha, yes! The same thing happened to me too,” the young man said.

The two laughed and walked into the woods. There were few people around.

At that moment, the middle-aged man turned to look at the person beside him and was about to speak.

Bang!

A sword light severed the other person’s head, and blood splattered all over.

At the same time, a long spear followed.

Bang!

The long spear pierced his throat. Along with that, dark red arrows pierced their bodies and crushed their flesh.

‘What just happened?’

The middle-aged man was terrified and confused.

He couldn’t understand how someone had suddenly attacked them in this place.

However, in the last moment before his life ended, he seemed to see three figures.

It was not an illusion. There were three people near him.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected the two people to suddenly rush out and attack.

They didn’t notice him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have rushed out.

If they had come a little earlier, he wouldn’t have had to intervene.

Now that three of them attacked at the same time, it was a bit awkward.

After the attack, the three of them became aware of each other, but they couldn’t determine who was who.

Killing overseas people didn’t matter, but killing fellow disciples was a big problem.

No one dared to risk killing an unknown person within the sect, and Jiang Hao was no exception.

He saw a woman with a sword on the left and a man with a bow on the right.

The former wore a veil, and the latter, a mask.

Jiang Hao was surrounded by purple energy, which prevented prying eyes from seeing him.

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other.

Jiang Hao sighed and silently retreated. He blended into the darkness.

The remaining two both breathed a sigh of relief. The other person had made a silent move, and they had been caught completely unawares.

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao sat on a chair and sighed heavily.

In order to avoid trouble, he had left first.

But he had lost the chance to get spirit stones.

He couldn’t even get back the ninety spirit stones that he had sold the talisman for.

‘I should have realized that there would be displeased people. How could the Heavenly Note Sect not act out when they were being robbed of their resources?’

The one who made a move might not necessarily be the one being hara.s.sed, but more likely someone wanting to make a profit.

After all, robbing fellow disciples was risky, but robbing outsiders was basically harmless.

This was especially true for outsiders who came to the sect and hara.s.sed others. It was an opportunity to make a profit.

“I wonder if the Law Enforcement Hall will be furious again tomorrow.”

It’s just two Golden Core Realm cultivators, yet it attracted two people in the Primordial Spirit Realm, and him.

The other overseas people were also in danger.

The next day, Jiang Hao woke up before dawn.

He took a chair and sat on the balcony. He looked toward the direction of the Law Enforcement Hall and waited for a response.

Unfortunately, there was no response from that side even after it was daylight.

‘Only two people killed last night? What a pity!’

If the seniors failed to teach the overseas people a lesson, there would be more fights and deaths.

It would be troublesome for him when he set up his stall later.

He couldn’t handle them one by one. That would attract too much attention.

After watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, Jiang Hao looked at the Immortal Peach Tree. There were not many fruits left on it.

Xiao Li must have picked them.

He didn’t understand why she insisted on doing it secretly.

Perhaps when no one was around, the spirit beast boasted about its prestige and made Xiao Li follow its orders. That way, the spirit beast wouldn’t have Jiang Hao mocking its status.

But Jiang Hao had never mocked the beast’s boasting.

If it said its status was high, it did. There was no need to argue.

He found quite a few people gathered at the Spirit Herb Garden.

It seemed like they were discussing something important.

“What happened?” Jiang Hao asked Cheng Chou.

“Senior Brother Jiang,” Cheng Chou said. “The Law Enforcement Hall’s people asked us to gather and wait here.”

“Why?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I heard that many people died, and the sect is investigating the matter,” Cheng Chou said in worry.

Jiang Hao frowned. He was surprised. ‘Many people died? Were they overseas people or the sect’s disciples?’

It was highly likely that they might have been the overseas people. If the dead were of the sect, that would be a serious problem.

Liu Xingchen arrived after some time.

He didn’t explain anything but informed them that they could disband.

This indicated that the ones who had died were probably overseas people. If the victims were the sect’s disciples, a thorough investigation would have begun.

“Do you know what actually happened, Senior Brother?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Many overseas people have died in the past few days. Although there were a few conflicts before, it wasn’t a huge problem,” said Liu Xingchen. “We cautioned some seniors who were too reckless. But these last two days… the number of those taking action increased. It is as if they had made an agreement, so the sect has reason to suspect that someone incited this conflict. It seems like they want to provoke the alliance between our sect and the overseas people. After an investigation by the Law Enforcement Hall, it was confirmed that it was done by the Blackheaven Sect, who falsely claim to be a righteous and reputable sect.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

The Blackheaven Sect’s displeasure towards the heavenly Note Sect was not unknown.

“Do the overseas people also think this way?” Jiang Hao asked.

“They probably think so too. Now, they’ve started to condemn the Blackheaven Sect. It seems they plan to send someone to the Blackheaven Sect to demand an explanation,” Liu Xingchen said.

Jiang Hao sighed. What kind of explanation would they demand?

Since they wanted to sow discord, why only kill our overseas people and not the Heavenly Note Sect’s people?

This was just a joke!

The overseas people were not fools. Why couldn’t they see through it?

But this was, after all, the Heavenly Note Sect. Even if they saw through it, what could they do?

Ultimately, it was because they didn’t control their people well, which brought about this disaster.

Moreover, Jiang Hao had reasons to suspect that this was intentionally orchestrated by the higher- ups from overseas. They wanted to test the Heavenly Note Sect.

Perhaps they didn’t think the consequences would be this severe.

“By the way, how many people died?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Seventy percent of the group were killed. Everything happened too fast. They didn’t even have time to react,” Liu Xingchen said.

“Really?” Jiang Hao said. “The Blackheaven Sect is indeed formidable.” “Yes, the Blackheaven Sect is indeed powerful.” Liu Xingchen nodded in

agreement..
