Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1429  Mr. Tao, You're A Very Considerate Man

The burly woman headed toward the Heavenly Note Sect.

When she reached the River of Deathly Silence, she halted at the edge and waited quietly.

She was not sure if the person she awaited would appear, but she chose to wait silently, nonetheless.

After a while, a scholarly man suddenly appeared beneath a tree.

When she sensed the person, she trembled in fear.

She had not been able to notice when he had appeared.

It was as though he was one with the light and dust.

It seemed he had always been here.

When Jiang Hao arrived, he felt puzzled when he noticed the woman's confusion.

Since she had obeyed Smiling San Sheng before, there was a high chance she would not do anything rashly.

"Are you looking for me, Miss?" Jiang Hao held his folding fan.

The woman bowed. "I'm sorry to disturb you, Senior. The news of your challenge has spread far and wide. It won't be long before many are paying attention. This place will become a vortex, the size of which depends on how interesting the person you challenge is. Of course, it also depends on how many people are interested in you."

Jiang Hao looked at the person before him and curiously asked, "Is this a tip-off? Weren't you hoping to make this place the center of a vortex anyway?"

"Yes," the woman said seriously. "That is our duty and our ideal, so I will certainly spread the news to make this place a hotspot. Hopefully. That'll lead to its destruction. However, I am here to inform you as a personal choice. I hope you understand the danger and leave if possible."

"Do you owe me a favor?" Jiang Hao asked.

If not, why would she come here to kindly warn him?

The woman did not answer.

She was mentally prepared. She was aware that Smiling San Sheng was reckless and unpredictable. She knew she might get killed for this.

No one had ever called her "Miss." Smiling San Sheng had shown her courtesy.

She vividly remembered the disgust and mockery she faced from everyone. She remembered getting bullied in her childhood because of her appearance.

The repeated insults and bullying had made her world dark and twisted.

It was only when Smiling San Sheng had addressed her as "Miss" that she felt like that word could be uttered without mockery. Instead, it had been like a beam of light that illuminated her very being and had made her feel seen as the woman she was.

The word itself might seem very ordinary, but it was something she had never had.

...

Jiang Hao returned to the hillside and looked at the River of Deathly Silence.

He was concerned about the woman's warning.

Fortunately, there were only nine months left till September.

Not everyone could make it here within nine months.

But it was possible that various factions could make it here by September, especially in the Great Era. After all, immortals were not slow.

However, the news itself would take time to spread.

It could take a month or two to a year.

However, it was certain that the Fallen Immortal Clan would come.

With the Master of the East Heavenly Pole showing up, the Fallen Immortal Clan would send powerful individuals.

Fortunately, Senior Dan Yuan's people were also coming.

They would certainly not be ordinary.

It would be best if Kendo was chosen.

He knew Kendo, so he might be safer around him. He was also very powerful.

He had to raise his cultivation as soon as possible and increase his understanding of the blade.

Apart from gathering basic bubbles, he needed to fully comprehend the Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade.

This time, he faced an unprecedentedly strong enemy, and he could not afford to be careless.

"If it wasn't for you, Senior Brother, we would have been killed. Smiling San Sheng is temperamental. It's thanks to you that we're safe."

"That's true," said Zhen Huo. "I felt like I was going to die for a moment just now. It was all thanks to your strong presence that I managed to keep going."

Nan Qing also heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No one can complete this mission except you, Senior Brother."

Jiang Hao was speechless. 'Smiling San Sheng only glanced at you for a fleeting moment. What does that have to do with me?' He thought.

But he did not stop them.

He only said that it was a team effort, and everyone did their part.

They then praised him even more.

This was indeed his best experience as a team leader.

He did not even have to do much, but his team members made him feel good about himself.

These people also did not play any tricks or make things difficult for him.

It was very nice.

"By the way, Senior Brother, I don't know if you've heard, but the sect thinks our team alone isn't enough and will send others to help deal with the river," Nie Jin said.

Jiang Hao was surprised. This person was really well-informed.

He had no idea, but they already knew.

Hopefully, the newcomers would be stronger than them and take the lead.

"What about their cultivation realms?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Reportedly, they'll be mostly at the Soul Ascension Realms and Return to Void Realms," Nie Jin said.

Jiang Hao nodded. "When they arrive, we will fully cooperate."

"Senior Brother, you're wise, but we'll listen to only you," said Nie Jin.

The others declared the same thing.

Jiang Hao just listened.

When the time came, they would follow whoever maintained stability within the group.

Jiang Hao looked at his interface.

[Cultivation: Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]

[Lifeblood: 70/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 71/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Divine Abilities: 2/3 (cannot be obtained)]

"Is nine months really enough?"

Jiang Hao was not sure.

He still needed to get about sixty points more.

It was quite difficult to advance.

However, Hong Yuye had said that the challenge with the Master of the East Heavenly Pole was not about cultivation but about the blade.

So, he did not need to be too fixated on this.

Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it and began to comprehend the Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade.

Three months later, around early June, Chi Tian the Red Dragon looked for Mr. Tao overseas.

"Senior, it's been too long," Mr. Tao said with a smile.

"Mr. Tao, you seem even more graceful than before," Chi Tian said. "The task you set for me is almost done. I can't show up myself, so it's all up to you now. Of course, don't worry too much about them taking action. The Dragon Clan has just reappeared and doesn't want to provoke too many people. They're also looking for someone and need your help."

"Thank you," said Mr. Tao gratefully. "Then, Senior, you can stay at the pavilion tonight."

That was the Jade Cloud Pavilion that Chi Tian frequently visited.

"Mr. Tao, you're a very considerate man." Chi Tian was overjoyed.
