THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
99: The Demon Woman Arrives
Zheng Shijiu and the others were shocked by Jiang Hao's choice. He chose the two worst people. One had average talent, while the other did not possess any talent.
However, Jiang Hao had obtained Miao Tinglian, so they felt that everything was balanced.
Xin Yuyue also found it strange. Jiang Hao had always been self-effacing, but he had seen what he could do. Xin Yuyue and Zheng Shijiu were a little afraid of Jiang Hao.
Feng Baifei looked at Jiang Hao with disdain. But he didn't say anything. Miao Tinglian had made it clear that he wanted to join the Broken Heart Cliff. No one can stop him anyway.
However, bringing a mediocre neonle to the branch will make the recruiter seem to be not doing his job well.
Yue You looked at Xiao Li. If she had any talent, Yue You would gladly accept it at the Flowing Waterfall branch. Unfortunately, Xiao Li had no talent at all.
“It's almost time,” said Zheng Shijiu.
Jiang Hao looked at the edge of the mountain. Some people have not finished their climb. “There are still some left.”
In the end, twenty-six people managed to climb the mountain.
In the final moments, a young man thrashed. His hands were covered in blood, and only half of his body had managed to climb up.
“Alright, Time's up!” said Miao Xing. “Those who do not successfully climb can go.”
The man looked very tattered and bloody. His face was down, and he could not stop crying.
Some students felt very sorry for him.
Jiang Hao also felt sorry for him. However, one had to be strong in body and mind to join the demon sect. Otherwise, they will be torn apart. The competition was extremely cruel and brutal in the demon sect.
Jiang Hao hesitated. Just then, Yue You approached the man. “Do you have family?” she asked. He was impressed with his determination. He still made it to the top, despite sustaining injuries en route. If possible, he would bring her back to the Flowing Waterfall.
“Ya,” said the young man.
“Are you sure you want to join this sect?” asked Jiang Hao.
“Y-yes!”
Yue You set her foot on the ground, and the man flew to the top of the mountain. "Follow me. If you can follow him, I'll allow you to join the Flowing Waterfall. Otherwise, I'll have someone take you away.”
Jiang Hao was surprised. Yue You was certainly not as simple as she thought. He glanced at the others, who were in the middle of the mountain.
“Let the rest,” said Jiang Hao.
Miao Xing nodded.
Jiang Hao fumbled his bag and handed the spirit sword to Miao Xing. "Here. Take-take this. Thank you for being very helpful.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang.”
Spirit swords are cheap, but they are still important. Miao Xing put away his sword and smiled at him.
After which, Jiang Hao followed the others. They walked to the outer gate of the sect. It took them almost half a day to get there.
It's part of the process. This journey fosters spiritual energy. After completing this mandatory journey, the new disciples would be given the Hundred Revolutions Heavenly Notebook.
“Sekte Heavenly Note is really generous.” Miao Tinglian sighed. He knew about this path but had seen it with his own eyes today.
In the afternoon, Jiang Hao and the others arrived at the outer gate. Ming Xiao would take care of the others from here, while Jiang Hao's group would bring the re-elected disciples with them to their branch.
Things had gone smoothly so far, and Jiang Hao was happy about it. However, he did not know whether bringing Miao Tinglian to the Broken Heart Cliff might offend Mu Qi.
Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian had been together once, but Jiang Hao was unaware of the current state of their relationship.
Xiao Li nodded and followed without complaining. However, his steps were slightly shaky. Jiang Hao knew that he was hungry and exhausted.
Lin Zhi looked down in fear.
Miao Tinglian was also a little nervous. He will meet someone who will determine his life and death. If he wasn't careful, he would die.
Before Jiang Hao left, he turned his head to look at Yue You. The determined young man still followed him without protest.
From today on, the fate of these new disciples will be different. Some of them may reach heights, while others may be trampled and left behind.
Jiang Hao led the three men to the Broken Heart Cliff. He headed to his master's residence.
Jiang Hao explained everything to his master.
Ku Wu Chang glanced at Lin Zhi and Xiao Li once and ignored them. Jiang Hao did not know whether his master was disappointed or happy to have a new member.
“Bring them both with you. Help them calm down,” said Ku Wu Chang.
Jiang Hao nodded and led the two children out. Miao Tinglian remained behind.
As Jiang Hao walked into the courtyard, he saw Mu Qi standing there with a worried face.
When he saw Jiang Hao coming out of his master's house, Mu Qi approached him. “Young Brother Jiang, are you done with his mission? Is this a new student?”
"Yes. I'll take them around and help them settle down.” Mu Qi nodded. “Is there only two?”
Jiang Hao knew that Mu Qi wanted to ask about Miao Tinglian. “There are others too. His name was Miao Tinglian. He said he defected from his sect and surrendered and joined our sect. The problem is something that I am not authorized to handle, so I brought it to meet our master.”
Mu Qi nodded. Jiang Hao left the place with Xiao Li and Lin Zhi.
He was not sure if Mu Qi would blame him for bringing Miao Tinglian with him, but it was out of his control. Jiang Hao had no choice.
Moreover, his defector was from the Golden Core Realm. Jiang Hao had to report it.
Despite this, Jiang Hao knew how that emotion was. Revenge is revenge.
People don't consider other people's points of view when they're emotional.
Jiang Hao took the children to the gathering place of the Broken Heart Cliff. From here, they will be left alone.
“In the sect, it is important not to stand out. Less talking and doing your own thing. Avoid offending people,” Jiang Hao said before leaving them.
The two boys nodded.
Late at night, Jiang Hao returned to his home. Mission's success. From tomorrow, he will be able to return to his routine.
After a while, he continued his cultivation.
Jiang Hao was still surprised by the extent to which people joined the demon sect. Although they were all forced by their own circumstances, Jiang Hao's heart was fixed on them.
The next day, sunlight came in through the window. Jiang Hao stepped onto his balcony and took a deep breath. The day was beautiful.
When he saw the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower, he saw another person standing in his courtyard.
He was dressed in red. His long hair fluttered in the breeze.
He raised his head slightly and stared directly at Jiang Hao..
