THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
146: What Can You Do To Me?
Hong Yuye sat on a tree branch, staring into the distance.
Jiang Hao stood under the tree. He felt Hong Yuye included in the red shadow in the darkness. That's a scary thought.
Jiang Hao did not pay attention to Hong Yuye but focused on the direction of the building.
His own position was rather striking, but the fact that Hong Yuye was sitting on a tree branch made him feel that he would not be seen standing under a tree.
As for the other matters, Jiang Hao had made an initial observation and so far had yet to find Fang Jin and the others. He doesn't know where they're hiding.
“Behaved well and avoid pain.”
In front of the building, four adult men were escorting a group of black-hooded children. Jiang Hao watched them closely.
Nine children and five adults.
Among the five adults, four became bodyguards, while the fifth walked behind. The four people in front were at various stages of the Golden Core Realm.
The one behind was at the peak stage of the Golden Core Realm, but his aura was strange.
'They're strong…'
Jiang Hao was surprised. The five people were very strong. He assumed the person walking behind must be Zuo Lan, but…
“Is he still a clone? Where is the original body?” Jiang Hao said as he looked at the woman on the tree branch.
“You don't have to ask me. Make your own decisions and do what you need to do. I will not interfere,” said Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao was not surprised by his reply.
Even if the Gold Core cultivators asked Hong Yuye to take action, there was no need to bring along anyone.
'The four people in front were not clones, but I did not feel any mental connection to the fifth... This meant that Zuo Lan was hiding and it was indeed a clone. Would he wait for the final power to appear before coming out? Do I still have time to move at that time?'
This would be a difficult fight since most of the adults were in the Golden Core Realm. Although he expected a challenging fight, it was best to destroy the enemy with a single strike.
Unknowingly, he touched his eyebrows. There was no problem with his divine ability.
The Hidden Spirit Resurrection Ability would be his greatest trump card for tonight. Whether he could defeat Zuo Lan or not would depend on this ability.
The nine children were led to the side of the altar. Their heads were covered in black hoods, so Jiang Hao was unsure if there was a girl among them. Everyone was wearing similar clothes.
It seemed that the Bright Moon Sect disciples also came from poor families.
“Stand silent. Don'tdon't move. You die fighting,” said a man while kicking a child.
From afar, Jiang Hao heard the children moaning in fear. He waited quietly.
As soon as the children were tied up, a man pulled out a knife and tried to cut their wrists.
Jiang Hao saw a flash of sword light in the distance.
“You scum from the demon sect!”
It was Lan Jin.
Jiang Hao remained calm and watched quietly from afar.
The demon sect had a bad reputation. Even the Heavenly Note Sect was famous in its actions. That was one of the reasons why Jiang Hao wanted to clear his name as quickly as possible. It was quite troublesome to carry the name of the Heavenly Note Sect and wander elsewhere.
The Heavenly Note Sect was not a small sect, but it was not very good either. If it was as big as Clear Sky School, it would be much better.
The explosion!
Lan Jin took action. There were surprise attacks from two other locations near the building.
Fang Jin had injured a cultivator of the Golden Core Realm. Although the injury was not severe, it still gave an advantage to Fang Jin in the fight.
The situation was much better for Bai Qiong. It seemed that late stage Gold Realm cultivators were no match for him.
Among Zuo Lan's group, there was more than one cultivator at the peak stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Right now, Zuo Lan himself was cutting children.
Jiang Hao watched without taking any action.
Zuo Lan's real body had yet to appear, so he was impatient. If the real Zuo Lan had not appeared, he would not have found the stone tablet here.
The explosion!
The aftermath of the battle shook the building and exposed the entire altar to the moonlight.
Fang Jin looked at the activated altar impatiently. He was not sure what Zuo Lan wanted to do.
Those at the peak of the Golden Core Realm held on. It is not difficult to defeat this opponent, but it will take quite a long time. He has no time to waste.
Lan Jin, who was fighting against two early stage Gold Core Realm cultivators, asked for help. He was in an unfortunate position because he was fighting them alone.
Even though he had incredible strength and powerful treasures, he had no battle experience.
“Sister, don't be nervous. They're no match for you. Keep your mind stable and analyze their movements. Think about body techniques, and sword techniques. Apply both, and you will be able to beat both of them easily. They are not strong,” Fang Jin said to her.
"Not strong?" said one of the early stage Gold Core Realm cultivators and laughed. “A group of children alone is enough to handle this little girl.”
They knew if he got used to their attacks, they would be in danger. His spirit sword was too powerful.
“Kakak, wait a minute longer.” Bai Qiong applied his magic seal and suppressed the enemy with the power of his technique.
He manipulated the thunder, and electric light swept out from all directions like many swords. However, it had no effect whatsoever on the altar.
Fang Jin was a bit confused. He still had not seen Jiang Hao anywhere. He didn't know if Jiang Hao was hiding somewhere, or if he hadn't come at all.
“People of the Bright Moon Sect are not something special.” Zuo Lan looked at Fang Jin from the altar. “I even set up... other methods, but it seems like it is not needed.”
“Zuolan, did you know that one of the disciples among your captives is a disciple of our sect?” ask Fang Jin.
His hand clenched his sword, and it exerted even stronger pressure on the Gold Core Realm cultivator he was fighting.
"I knew. What difference? What can you do to me?” said Zuo Lan. “I heard that the Heavenly Note Sect is also planning to seize it. If I sell it to them, I will get a large amount of spirit stones, right?” Zuo Lan activated the altar.
“I suspect you will definitely be blackmailed by the Heavenly Note Sect and killed,” Lan Jin said.
"Thank you for the warning. Maybe I will sell it somewhere else,” Zuo Lan said with a grateful smile.
"You!" Lan Jin was furious.
Zuo Lan calmly took out the stone tablet and placed it on top of the altar. The others did not react, but Jiang Hao ended up being interested.
The stone tablet looked similar to the one it had. However, Jiang Hao felt a slight difference to the aura of the tablet.
'Is it fake?' Jiang Hao did not understand. 'Is the fake stone tablet still able to function as a medium?'
He used the technique he learned from the nameless manual to observe and analyze the stone tablet. He found that it seemed to have something to do with something.
“Is the fake stone tablet connected to the real one and used as a medium?”
Jiang Hao was surprised.. Zuo Lan was this careful?
