Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1378  If He Requires Sacrificial Blood, I Am Willing (2) When the person checked his pulse and said he could be healed, it shook his soul.

But he knew it was probably just trying to make him feel better. He had already accepted his death.

It was only when a force entered his body and gradually pushed away the pain that he finally understood what Jiang Hao meant when he said he could be healed.

The pain had mostly dissipated, and everything was going well. His condition became better.

At this moment, the other person stood up and left, with a slight cough.

Feng Yang felt a mix of emotions in his heart.

For a moment, he remembered the rumors about Senior Brother Jiang Hao.

He remembered that the Blood Wish Path was used to deceive others.

Perhaps he was the next victim. However, if Senior Brother Jiang Hao truly needed sacrificial blood from him, he was willing to give it.

...

After leaving Feng Yang's place, Jiang Hao went to Senior Brother Mu Qi.

At this moment, Mu Qi was lying on the bed with a pale face.

Originally, his cultivation had been at the Soul Ascension Realm, but he had dropped to the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

It was the same as his cultivation realm.

"It seems my cultivation might be lower than yours now," Mu Qi said self-deprecatingly.

At this moment, he could only lie down. He was unable to get up or move.

He had to wait for his external injuries to heal first, then stabilize his cultivation before recovering fully.

Jiang Hao took out a bowl of fish soup made by Xiao Li. "Senior Brother, you jest. I was just lucky to get through this. Once you overcome this tribulation, your future path will be even wider."

Senior Brother Mu Qi was not an ordinary disciple. He had talent, opportunities, and worked hard.

Although he was not on the same path as Han Ming, he was not weak at all.

His luck was surprisingly good, even better than Junior Brother Han Ming's.

Of course, the reason he did not advance as aggressively as Han Ming might be due to his personality. His aspirations lay elsewhere.

"Are you planning to pursue the seat of the top disciple?" Mu Qi picked up the bowl of fish soup and sniffed it. "Did you make this, Junior Brother?"

"Xiao Li made it," Jiang Hao said truthfully.

Mu Qi, who was about to take a bite, paused suddenly. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How does it taste?"

"I haven't tried it," Jiang Hao said.

Mu Qi hesitated for a long time before putting down the bowl of soup. "There's no rush to eat it. Let's talk about you, Junior Brother."

Jiang Hao looked at the bowl of fish soup curiously.

Seeing that Mu Qi was unwilling to try it, he remained silent.

However, Senior Brother Mu Qi did not try.

"I am still some distance away from the position of the top disciple and can't pursue it for now. Moreover, after such a great battle, the situation of the ten top disciples is unclear. It's difficult to know if I should pursue it."

With the arrival of the Great Era, he had advanced. The ten top disciples would definitely advance quickly as well.

The tenth-ranked top disciple Manlong was at least at the late stage of the Soul Ascension Realm.

Decades had passed, and it was impossible for him to remain where he used to be.

Of course, if some of the ten top disciples had evaded the calamity, then perhaps he had a chance.

"There is indeed some gap. You still need to work hard, Junior Brother. However, I heard three of the ten top disciples have gone missing. Their situation is unknown." Mu Qi sighed. "So, it's likely impossible to challenge for the top disciple's position in the coming years. There needs to be a buffer period. If those top disciples don't return, they might select new ones."

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

The sect had suffered severe damage, and it was unknown how long it would take to recover.

In this Great Era, recovery was quick, but so was the attack from others.

Jiang Hao then asked about Senior Brother Bai Yi.

What Mu Qi knew was limited. He only knew that at that time, a golden light had fallen from the sky and swallowed many people.

After that, many people went missing.

Jiang Hao felt a chill and feared that those people might have been crushed by the overwhelming force.

It was easy for an immortal to crush a Return to Void Realm cultivator.

The answer he got was similar to before: the Cliff Master was sent to the Lawless Tower to recover from his injuries.

Four of the twelve Branch Masters had gone in too.

If he could not make it, the Cliff of Broken Heart might…

Mu Qi did not continue, but Jiang Hao understood.

If they could not survive, the Cliff of Broken Hearts would cease to exist as it was.

No one knew what would happen then.

But life had to go on, and these were common occurrences in the cultivation world.

While they were chatting, Senior Sister Miao Tinglian joined in.

"Junior Brother, I have determined that person is in our sect. There are quite a few suitable candidates. Would you like to meet one or two? Those who are still alive at this time are likely the truly destined ones," she said. "Junior Brother, stay a while longer. Don't leave. Mu Qi still has things to discuss with you. Junior Brother, come back. Mu Qi really has something to tell you..."

Jiang Hao left without looking back.

This time, he just came to see Senior Brother Mu Qi, not to listen to Senior Sister Miao.

As long as Mu Qi's condition was stable, he had no more concerns.

Most of the Mountain Sea Seal imports were still there. He could add another layer of the seal later to prevent the Holy Master's threat.

The Holy Master's danger was undeniable, and he had to be on guard.

His good-hearted Brother Li always brought him trouble despite being easy to talk to.

After leaving the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Hao asked around about the Lawless Tower.

It was open, and he indeed needed to take a look to see Mu Longyu. He had to get some information about his Master.

With enlightenment and awakening, although the sect's calamity had passed, it seemed the troubles of the Cliff of Broken Hearts were just beginning.

Since he had an ability, he naturally had to do something.

If he wanted to live a peaceful life, he had to do it himself.

Expecting others to bring stability while standing idly by was unrealistic. If he had the capability but did nothing, that would be a different story.

In front of Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao sighed and looked at the tower with some emotion.

He had not visited for a long time.

The Lawless Tower did not need him. Fortunately, he could still enter.

The two seniors guarding the door nodded and let him in.

Inside, it was emptier than before. There were no prisoners or sect disciples.

During the grand era's calamity, those in the Lawless Tower fought the most.

On the fifth floor, Jiang Hao encountered Senior Sister Yinsa. He felt emotional and happy to see her. "Senior Sister, it's been too long."

Seeing Jiang Hao, Yinsha was also delighted. Some time ago, she was ordered not to trouble Jiang Hao. "Junior Brother, you're finally here."

It was supposedly the sect's plan.

"Yeah. I'm finally free." Jiang Hao sighed.

Indeed, he finally had time.

Previously, he had been busy becoming an immortal, dealing with the Five Demons, and then the Great Era.

He had been constantly on the move with no time to breathe.

Since the Heavenly Note Sect's battle was over, and no one would seek him out for a while, he was finally free. It was very rare to have free time for himself.

"How much do you know about the sect's situation, Junior Brother?" Yinsha asked.

"I heard some Branch Masters were seriously injured and sent to the tower," Jiang Hao said.

He could mention this and ask about his Master's situation.

After all, he still had to ask about his master's situation.

"Yes, and their injuries are extremely severe. Once they leave the Lawless Tower, they might die immediately. The injuries seem to have damaged their souls. We want to ask Zhuang Dongyun of the Great Thousand God Sect for help. But she's unwilling to speak to us. If you can find a way, Junior Brother, that'd be a great help," said Yinsha.

"I'll try my best." Jiang Hao bowed

Zhuang Dongyun was from the Great Thousand God Sect, so he was not confident in dealing with her.

Mainly, there was nothing to threaten her with.

However, for soul injuries, perhaps he could find another person.

With the Great Era, that person should have recovered significantly, though it was quite troublesome.

After Yinsha left, Jiang Hao walked to Zhuang Yuzhen and the others.

"It's been a long time, everyone," Jiang Hao said and smiled at them.

This time, he had bought some peaches for everyone, including Mu Longyu.

"Heavenly King Mu…" Jiang Hao bowed.

He was an Immortal Human, so he did not dare disrespect him.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you're too polite," said Mu Longyu as he accepted the peach Jiang Hao gave him.

He had been waiting for Jiang Hao in the Heavenly Note Sect for a long time.

Later, he had stayed behind to help defend against the enemy.

Actually, he was seriously injured. Though he appeared well, it was only on the surface.

He wanted to rest for a while and then return overseas to heal completely.

His injuries needed to be treated back home for a full recovery.

He had thought he would not see Jiang Hao before leaving, but the other arrived a month after the fighting ceased.

"Do you have any business here?" Mu Longyu asked.

"Heavenly King, if you have anything to say, please don't hesitate and go ahead," said Jiang Hao politely.

Mu Longyu had waited for a long time for him. It would not be good to make him wait even longer.

Previously, he had done it just to keep the Heavenly King here. It was necessary to show respect and courtesy this time.
