Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 472  King Hai Luo Deceived By Someone He Loved?

"It seems that everyone has made progress in their cultivation realms lately," Dan Yuan said as he looked at all of them with a smile.

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

Just now, Senior Dan Yuan had answered quite a few questions in quick succession.

It seemed that everyone was at a stage where they were ready for advancement and had many questions.

Jiang Hao wanted to ask a few questions, but couldn't come up with any.

Perhaps he could exchange ideas with some people who were close to a breakthrough and then ask Senior Dan Yuan later.

He just felt that it might affect the impression he had created of himself.

It was better not to ask and let them feel that "Jing" was someone who never had cultivation problems. That would be fine too.

"Do you have more information regarding the Saint Bandits?" Dan Yuan asked.

Before anyone could answer, he said, "The Saint Bandits are indeed members of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, and there is indeed a possibility that they might be related to the trouble in the deep sea overseas. They are in hiding now and extremely difficult to trace."

Jiang Hao sighed. He had killed one of the Saint Bandits' men, and Yin Wei still had not appeared.

He was clearly hiding.

He still couldn't understand why. If it was because of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, it would be fine, but he knew it wasn't.

During this period, he hadn't done anything.

With no news about the Saint Bandits or the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, the gathering entered the phase where they traded information with each other.

Gui looked at Jiang Hao. "I would like to borrow the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl."

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

First, he pretended to think for a moment and then said, "There's a question I'd like to ask you, Gui."

"What is it?" Gui looked puzzled.

In the beginning, Jing had agreed readily. She wondered why he was reconsidering things.

'Could it be an issue with the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?'

Others were also curious.

Jiang Hao's face was serious, and his voice was deep as he spoke.

"Is your friend intending to cultivate the Thousand Curses? I have come across it in ancient texts, and it bears some resemblance to what you mentioned before."

Gui was startled. She thought that only Senior Dan Yuan would be able to perceive something like that.

"Yes." Gui nodded. She didn't deny it.

Jiang Hao nodded. "The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl can help your friend, but the best choice is not suppression, but transmutation."

"Transmutation?" Gui was puzzled.

Jiang Hao felt his heart sink. 'Why couldn't you understand it either?'

If no one could understand it, then he would be in danger.

Without thinking further, he said, "Suppression only allows the body to adapt, while transmutation is a rebirth."

Jiang Hao didn't say anything further.

He relied on Senior Dan Yuan for the rest of the explanation.

"Rebirth?" Gui felt that it somehow made sense, but she couldn't figure it out exactly.

Then, she looked at Senior Dan Yuan.

Jiang Hao and the others were also waiting for clarification.

Senior Dan Yuan smiled. "After returning, Gui, you can tell your friend to try to transmute a small part of the cursed body. It's much easier than doing the entire body. Also, it's necessary to suppress the other curses."

Gui nodded.

Senior Dan Yuan turned to Jiang Hao. "Friend Jing, your insights are exceptionally unique."

"Senior, you flatter me," Jiang Hao respectfully said.

After that was the trade between Xing and Liu.

When the trade ended, Dan Yuan inquired about the overseas situation. "Friend Liu, have you found anything at the bottom of the sea?"

"The presence of the Heavenly Note Sect disciples has appeared again at the bottom of the sea. This time, they had some injuries. Not only that, but some people have also seen something else… tentacles. However, they are not sure what kind of tentacles they are," Liu said. "They have never seen such tentacles before, but some people have started heading toward the Heavenly Note Sect to ask where this group is going. It feels like something similar to what happened with King Hai Luo is about to happen again."

"Why does everything seem to be related to the Heavenly Note Sect?" Gui felt that it was strange.

After that, she instinctively looked at Jing.

After coming to the southern region, it seemed that he also went directly to the Heavenly Note Sect.

"Do you have any news, Friend Jing?" Liu asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Even if he knew the answer, he couldn't say it here. It would easily bring him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, in the eyes of these people, he should still be in the east. If they found out about recent events, they would start making connections again.

"Do they look like actual tentacles?" Dan Yuan asked.

Liu shook his head.

"Collect more information. The reward will be a Scarlet Heaven God Suppressing Talisman," Dan Yuan said.

The Scarlet Heaven God Suppressing Talisman could suppress surrounding evil spirits and energy fluctuations. Not only could it defend against surprise attacks, but it could also keep those practicing inside from being affected by demons.

This was tailored for Liu.

"Alright!" Liu said excitedly.

"Speaking of which, I recently heard that a True Disciple of the Clear Sky School disappeared shortly after being accepted as a disciple. He seemed to have appeared during the recent Dao Conference. However, when his master came to find him, he had disappeared. There was no one at the competition. The people from the Clear Sky School are searching all over the world," Xing said.

Jiang Hao was also a little surprised. Could the first person mentioned be Liu Xingchen? Unfortunately, the term "bored" was not included in the explanation, otherwise, it would definitely be him.

As for the second person…

Jiang Hao thought about the competition. He realized that there was someone who had disappeared.

That was how he was able to obtain the Holy Medicine Seed. Otherwise, it would have definitely belonged to the other person.

"Are the geniuses of the Clear Sky School all so willful?" Liu said incredulously.

"The Clear Sky School has a method called the Freedom Technique, so they are fearless and unrestrained. Typically, these are the cream of the crop. The stranger they are, the more outstanding they are," Dan Yuan said.

Jiang Hao remembered that Liu Xingchen might be one of the best too. Otherwise, who would do such reckless things like him just because they were bored?

Even the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower did not catch his attention. He focused on having fun.

It was the same with the three remnant souls in his body. He didn't care for the consequences at all.

But those three remnants had no chance of escape when it came to Liu Xingchen.

"Lately, there's also a strange thing happening. It's said that the Astronomical Academy's Light and Dust Technique has made tremendous progress as if the true senior has appeared. They say that the one who was able to use it was a senior of the Astronomical Academy. People are asking everywhere for him," Xing said.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

'Senior of the Astronomical Academy? How did this news spread?'

It seemed that even when going to other regions, he must be careful.

However, it wouldn't affect him that much right now.

With Hong Yuye by his side, no one could see his true identity. So, they could only guess about him.

"I know about the Light and Dust Technique of the Astronomical Academy, but it was useless before. I didn't expect it to actually be effective," Gui said with a smile.

Jiang Hao didn't speak. He listened to them discussing about him.

"When will you return to the southern region, Friend Jing?" Liu suddenly asked. "I have someone asking about King Hai Luo."

"Isn't he in the Heavenly Note Sect?" Jiang Hao asked.

He was somewhat interested when he heard about Hai Luo.

He was an interesting person, and it was relatively quiet on the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower before he arrived.

With him, it was constantly noisy there. There's really no way to deal with him.

"It has to do with his lover. It seems that her cultivation realm wasn't at the Foundation Establishment Realm, after all. From the looks of it, she seems to want to devour all of King Hai Luo's resources," Liu said.

Jiang Hao was shocked.

'King Hai Luo deceived by someone he loved?'
