Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 345: Do You Really Need So Many People To Deal With Someone In Foundation Establishment Realm?

The trouble with the spirit herbs was one thing. Jiang Hao had too many spirit herbs.

Ordinary people would hide their wealth. If he dared to raise so many herbs, he should have a bigger place.

This trip would yield a lot of results.

“In some time, my cultivation will recover somewhat. At that point, I’ll find a way to the Candlelight Pill Pavilion. If I can manage the Spirit Herb Garden again, I should be able to recover most of it.”

Gu Qing had learned a lot after spending time in the Cliff of Broken Hearts. The Candlelight Pill Pavilion was the next place with high-quality spirit herbs.

If she demonstrated some talent in alchemy, she could go there.

At this moment, she saw a small house by the river.

‘I arrived…

She hurried over.

Just as she approached, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky. It was flying on a sword at an astonishing speed.

Liu Xingchen landed in front of Gu Qing. “Junior Sister, do you have a moment?”

“What’s the matter, Senior Brother?” Gu Qing smiled.

He was in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Maybe she could make use of him.

“I am Liu Xingchen of the Law Enforcement Hall. I need your cooperation for a few matters,” he said.

“The Law Enforcement Hall?” Gu Qing frowned. “Why?”

‘Your identity is suspicious, and we need to investigate,” Liu Xingchen said.

“So… I have to go to the Law Enforcement Hall?”

“Yes.”

“Can’t I refuse to go?” Gu Qing asked.

“You can’t.” Liu Xingchen shook his head.

“Can’t you let this slide, Senior Brother?” There was an aura emanating from

Gu Qing, and it suppressed Liu Xingchen.

“It seems you are unwilling to cooperate. In the Heavenly Note Sect, no one has dared to resist an investigation from the Law Enforcement Hall.”

Several powerful individuals appeared and joined forces to suppress her.

“You’re treating your own people like this?” Gu Qing’s eyes narrowed. She had no idea what was happening. Why was she suddenly a target?

The people attacked her.

Gu Qing’s face darkened. “Can you really afford to anger me, Heavenly Note Sect?”

The immense aura of a Return to Void Realm cultivator spread out. The people from the Law Enforcement Hall were unfazed.

Boom!

A powerful force swept across the earth.

Spells circulated and shone in all directions.

Explosions rang out.

Gu Qing only barely managed to escape the place with heavy injuries.

“Heavenly Note Sect, I’ll remember this!”

She used a treasure and intended to leave this place.

However, just when she activated the treasure, it was suppressed by something.

A tiny platform hung over her head.

‘How is this possible?’

Why would this kind of treasure be used against her?

For a moment, Gu Qing couldn’t understand. She disguised herself as a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. They used such measures to deal with a person of such a low realm! They had even used a precious treasure.

Had they investigated her thoroughly before taking action?

Gu Qing had no chance to escape.

Liu Xingchen walked over to her.

“Junior Sister, you don’t need to go to the Law Enforcement Hall anymore. It is far too good a place for you. The Lawless Tower will take over the matter.”

The Enforcement Hall wouldn’t be able to keep such a powerful enemy in check. Only by throwing them into the Lawless Tower could they possibly find out more.

At White Moon Lake, the black-robed woman visited Baizhi again.

“Is it over?” Baizhi stood by the lake as she looked at the moon in the sky.

“Yes, it’s over. It was easier than expected. I thought I might need to intervene, but she was easily captured. The tiny platform played its part. She has been sent to the Lawless Tower. Interrogation hasn’t started yet.”

“Where did you capture her from?” Baizhi suddenly asked.

“Near Jiang Hao’s residence. She seemed to be looking for Junior Brother Jiang.” “Where’s Jiang Hao?” Baizhi asked.

“Well…” The black-robed woman hesitated. “He went to the Lawless Tower this afternoon and hasn’t returned yet. It seems he intends to stay there overnight.”

Baizhi was taken aback.

The Lawless Tower had inexplicably become his refuge.

“Did you obtain the treasure?” Baizhi asked.

“No, while her storage treasure contains quite a few valuable items, it doesn’t have the item we are looking for. It’s possible that it’s hidden within her body.”

Baizhi looked at her. “Take your time and get the information as soon as possible.”

The black-robed woman nodded.

Once she left, Baizhi left White Moon Lake and headed to the highest peak.

The highest place in the Heavenly Note Sect was the Hundred Flower Lake.

“Is the Mountain Sea Sword Sect that powerful?”

Jiang Hao was surprised.

The Divine Corpse Sect was rather ordinary compared to the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.

Any demonic sect in the northern region had to stay away from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, and they rarely ventured out. All members of the demonic sects kept their distance from them.

It wasn’t merely fear of their sect. The people from there were terrifying as well.

Of course, there were some who thought they could ally and use them, but they were eventually wiped out.

“Of course, they’re powerful. Among the major immortal sects in the northern region, they are on par with the Clear Sky School. The major sects are nothing before them,” Zhuang Yuzhen said with a bitter smile. “I wanted to visit the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, but I couldn’t even enter their gates.”

Jiang Hao sighed.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. If he couldn’t even enter their gates, how would he exchange the jade pendant for spirit stones?

‘Was Zhuge Zheng lying to me?’

Jiang Hao couldn’t be sure. He couldn’t really find out about it.

But if he could enter, it meant he could join two major immortal sects.

The Bright Moon Sect and the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, he didn’t dare to venture out.

In the future, he might be able to sell the item during gatherings.

The Bright Moon Sect was out of the question, but maybe he could find someone from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect to sell it to.

After asking a few more questions, Jiang Hao realized it was getting late. It was time to leave.

“Hey, wait! When will you also tell me the words you use to strike fear in everybody?” Mi Lingyue shouted. “My cultivation is about to drop. I won’t be here any longer.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

She was really strange. He ignored her and walked away.

Last night, he had deliberately avoided Gu Qing. He didn’t know what he could do today if he met her.

‘Maybe I should first find Liu Xingchen…’

If Gu Qing was angry, she would attack him. It would be bad for him.

Just as he arrived at the Law Enforcement Peak, he saw Liu Xingchen walking over to him.

“Junior Brother Jiang, are you here to take on a new mission?”

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Some people from the Mission Hall miss you, Junior brother. They say you haven’t appeared here for a year, and it’s time for you to take a stroll outside,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Although he had acquired considerable spirit stones, he didn’t intend to give them to the Law Enforcement Peak.

He remembered that he could appraise Liu Xingchen today.

However, he needed to keep an eye on Gu Qing to see what her intentions were.

“By the way, we captured Junior Sister Gu last night,” said Liu Xingchen.

Jiang Hao was stunned.

He used the Daily Appraisal ability on Liu Xingchen.

[Liu Xingchen: True Disciple of the Heavenly Faction. Born with the aura of a dragon. An undercover agent of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Note Sect. Recently, he has sensed that the three remnant souls have fallen silent after meeting each other as if resting and waiting for a chance to counterattack. Out of boredom, he started buying nourishing spirit herbs to replenish the three remnant souls and hoped they’d launch a counterattack soon. Seeing you return, he found a big task for you. However, he thinks it’s more interesting to keep an eye on you.] Did the remnant souls take their leave?
