Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

_{1389  Demoness: You're Luckier Than Me (1)}

Liu Xingchen's strength was growing more formidable. If he wanted to compete for the top disciple position, Jiang Hao felt he would have a strong rival.

Liu Xingchen had already reached the Return to Void Realm, while Jiang Hao was only at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

The gap was significant.

Back when Liu Xingchen completed the Golden Core Realm, Jiang Hao was only in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Jiang Hao was not too concerned about the mission.

Since the sect wanted him to go to the River of Deathly Silence, he had no choice but to go.

He just was not sure who had assigned this mission.

However, he was not sure who had given this mission.

Was it by chance, or did someone know something?

Of course, before asking, he first appraised Liu Xingchen's condition.

[Liu Xingchen: True Disciple of the Clear Sky School. In the early stage of the Return to Void Realm. Born with the aura of a dragon. He is undercover at the Heavenly Note Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. The four remnant souls in his body have reached a complete agreement. They have begun to refine his body under the Great Era. The ancient demon has even begun to summon its clansmen to search for it. Once it succeeds, they would turn from prey to hunters. He came to find you because he knows you are extraordinary and aims to use the remnant souls in his body to uncover more dramas related to you.]

Jiang Hao felt a bit helpless. Previously, it was just Liu Xingchen watching him. He had four ancient powerhouses with him.

Being watched like this was not a good thing.

But he had not done anything significant lately, so there should not be much drama to see.

Then he asked about the mission details.

Liu Xingchen said, "It is said that some changes have appeared in the river outside, and the sect needs someone to investigate. At the very least, people in the Primordial Spirit Realm or above are needed. They need people at their full strength. You, Junior Brother, are most suitable. There are four people on this mission, and none of them are simple. The main duty is to figure out the changes in the river. If a method to stabilize it can be found, that would be best."

Jiang Hao asked curiously. "The four people aren't ordinary?"

Liu Xingchen's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Yes. The first person is obviously you, Junior Brother. You've been on the sect's suspect list for decades. Another is suspected of being a spy, but the sect is still gathering evidence. Another is also a spy, but there's no concrete evidence. The last person… might not even be human."

Jiang Hao found it hard to believe. They had gathered such a group?

It seemed the sect did not know how to deal with the river and could only use others.

As for himself, it was probably for the person they suspected to be behind him.

Due to his outstanding achievements, he suspected the sect already thought he had someone backing him.

There was no other way.

Making too many contributions in the Lawless Tower inevitably raised suspicions of hidden secrets.

People suspected that there was someone powerful backing him up.

Spies and traitors often had someone powerful behind them.

So, they wanted them involved in solving the matter of the dangerous river.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. He was unsure if he should put his full effort into it.

It was no wonder Liu Xingchen was gleaming with anticipation.

Those tasked with this mission were essentially in the sect's conspiracy.

How could it not be interesting?

How could it not be interesting?

"Speaking of which, the Cliff of Broken Hearts is not simple either. We once investigated some corpses and traced them back to it. But we could only go so far. We think a mysterious person was involved. Who do you think this mysterious person is, Junior Brother?"

"Probably a Master or some seniors," said Jiang Hao.

Liu Xingchen smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then he reminded Jiang Hao of the people involved in this mission before leaving.

In Liu Xingchen's view, the participants in this mission were unsafe and could be highly aggressive, especially the last Junior Sister who might not even be a human.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment but did not care about it too much.

Liu Xingchen had many guesses. The other party would not affect him for the time being and would make things much more convenient for him.

Therefore, there was no need to worry too much.

In addition, he would definitely indulge the four remnant souls in his body and continue to cause trouble in the future.

He just did not know if he could continue to turn the situation around.

'Having four different powerful figures behind him… who else has such an opportunity?' Jiang Hao thought with mixed feelings.

If handled well, in this Great Era, Senior Brother Liu would undoubtedly be an important person.

He was qualified to pursue it.

At this time, the Spirit Herb Garden had already entered the normal phase, but the main task was to cultivate the spirit fields.

Unfortunately, Senior Sister Lian Qin had not been around recently. She might have a way.

"Senior Brother…" A woman at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm approached him and bowed respectfully.

Jiang Hao nodded at her.

"Are you also here to cultivate the spirit fields, Senior Brother?" she asked.

Jiang Hao looked at her.

He vaguely remembered something.

She was that Golden Core Realm spy who wanted to cooperate with him back then.

She looked plain enough that no one would look at her twice in a crowd.

"Junior Sister, why are you here at the Spirit Herb Garden?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I was sent here to help rebuild the sect," she said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He did not ask anything further.

After that, he left and busied himself.

Previously, the Law Enforcement Hall had caught a spy, but he did not expect the other party to still be here.

He didn't know if it was because she was too weak and did not pose a threat, or if she had not been discovered at all.

As for cooperating with him, she found him again.

That afternoon, Jiang Hao officially received the mission.

The mission would begin in January.

There was still more than a month left.

It was just November.

Jiang Hao looked at the sky and saw dark clouds gathering.

After the Great Era, the weather had become normal, with winter bringing its chill.

With the arrival of the dark clouds, it was most likely it was going to rain.
