Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1274: Will Smiling San Sheng Wait A Hundred Years For Revenge? (3)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The guide felt a lingering fear. If he had refused just now, he probably would have died on the spot.

It was no wonder that Senior Brother Duan had told him to confirm from the other party if he was unwilling to lead the way. How could he have verified it from a dead person?

“Fellow Disciple Huang is dead?” Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him and frowned. “This is news to me. Please don’t make baseless accusations without evidence.”

Killing the Wind Lightning Sect’s disciples in the mine, who happened to be a guard, would have implications.

He did not want any trouble.

He wanted to fulfill his mission and leave quietly.

Without evidence, no one could hold him here.

It would be safer to go to the Heavenly Note Sect and enter the Great Era.

“Fellow Disciple Huang died right after you left, Junior Brother. How can it not be your doing?” said a late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm woman. “How do we not suspect you?”

“Although we don’t have evidence right now, we think you had enough reason to kill him. Just because there’s insufficient evidence doesn’t mean you didn’t do it.”

Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him and sighed. “Then, what do you think should be done?”

“Since there’s favoritism and cheating involved, the Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivators must admit defeat. Also, you have insider information, Junior Brother. That is not fair. You all should endure three of our strikes to restore fairness,” said a late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm female cultivator.

Duan Tiancheng and the others frowned.

“Don’t you think you’re being slightly unreasonable?” Jiang Hao asked.

“When you killed Disciple Huang for information, did you think you were being unreasonable?” asked the late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm female cultivator.

Others chimed in, “Exactly, and you also got here earlier. We should have had the first pick.”

Jiang Hao looked at them. He wondered if their sect was blind. Who would entertain such people who whined about everything?

Maybe they behaved well in front of stronger cultivators.

“I heard that you are a Blood Wish Path cultivator, Junior Brother Jiang. It’s said that you built your cultivation realm by accumulating resources, and your strength and capability are very low. You knew you weren’t good enough, so you took an unconventional path. Unfortunately, we caught you. That in itself is unfair. You wouldn’t withstand three strikes from me.” The late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm female cultivator sneered.

“Senior Sister, you’re not from the Heavenly Note Sect, right?” Jiang Hao took a step forward.

He was ready to use the Thousand Miles Demonic Sound Slash.

“What’s wrong? Did I hit a sore spot, Junior Brother? Are you angry and embarrassed?” The woman frowned.

Her charm techniques and enchantment spells covered Jiang Hao.

However, before it could take effect, Jiang Hao suddenly speared in front of her.

Then, he kicked.

The late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator activated her defensive magic.

Bam!

Crack!

The kick shattered her defenses and her protective treasures. She landed heavily on her abdomen.

“Ahh!”

She cried out in pain as she was sent flying.

As she fell, Jiang Hao stepped on her. With a clang, he unsheathed his Half-Moon Blade.

He slashed down.

Her face filled with terror. She never expected her defenses to be broken so easily and that Jiang Hao would actually kill her.

“Senior Sister, save me—”

Slash!

The blade swept like moonlight.

With a thud, her head flew off and rolled on the ground. It rolled a few paces and came to a stop.

Only then did Jiang Hao slowly sheathe his blade and look at the two women who were about to come to her aid. His eyes were devoid of any emotion. “Your sect’s disciple framed and slandered our Heavenly Note Sect. To preserve my sect’s honor, I executed her. Do you think that is reasonable?”

Nalan Danyan took a deep breath and looked at the other party in shock.

In the past, no one could resist their charm. The longer they stayed together, the less likely anyone would attack them. Their spells always made the others obedient.

However, this person killed them without hesitation. It shocked them.

His cold gaze seemed to say that they would be beheaded too if they disagreed.

Nalan Danyan finally nodded. “It was our person who acted impudently.”

“We don’t need to wait for your sect, do we?” Jiang Hao asked Nalan Danyan as he walked toward the mine.

“No.” The latter gritted her teeth.

Duan Tiancheng looked at Jiang Hao in surprise. His heart had almost stopped in fear. Everything had happened too fast.

When Jiang Hao and the others entered, Nalan Danyan’s eyes filled with contempt.

“If you wish to die, I will grant you that wish.”

After that, she released some spirit beasts and let them disperse.

Only after that, she entered the mine.

…

In the sea, a pearl glowed brightly.

“Oh?” The man who called himself The End of All Things emerged. He looked elegant. “Any news of Smiling San Sheng?”

“There are some rumors about him,” his attendant said.

“Tell me,” said the man.

The attendant told him about the ambush by the Five Demons.

The man who called himself The End of All Things nodded.

“It seems someone couldn’t wait. Smiling San Sheng is too conspicuous. It’s not surprising he’s being watched. However, a good start doesn’t mean anything. Back then, when the Human Emperor became an immortal, he was far inferior to the Ancestral Dragon. The Ancestral Dragon couldn’t match the Human Emperor. But this makes finding Smiling San Sheng easier.”

“Easier?” The attendant was puzzled.

“Smiling San Sheng is arrogant and vengeful,” said the man and laughed. “Keep an eye on the Five Demons. Smiling San Sheng will find them.”

“Xiao San Sheng must be looking for them for revenge, but it’s basically impossible for an early-stage Perfect Immortal Realm cultivator to kill the Five Demons. Will he wait a few hundred years for revenge?” the attendant asked.

The man who called himself The End of All Things shook his head. “I don’t know how many years it will take. But this is the only way to find Smiling San Sheng. As he is now, he leaves no trace. Perhaps the Five Demons will surprise us?”
