THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
176: Will be Killed
Jiang Hao did not pay too much attention to his senior's shocked face. His current strength was set at the final stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Anyone in the world who is responsive enough can do what he does.
He was more concerned with the demons around him. The demons were no stronger than the demons he had fought before, but they became better at hiding and disguising themselves. It seems that they are much more difficult to deal with than before.
Zheng Shijiu and the others recovered from their shock and became wary. Yue You stepped on the ground.
The explosion!
Ground shaking.
Zheng Shijiu waved his paper fan and recited a spell. Snow started to fall on that spot.
The tremors in the ground shook the demons out of hiding. The remaining ones were exposed to heavy snow.
Clangs!
Xin Yuyue attacked with her sword. Each attack was filled with thunder and fire.
The injured middle-aged man also jumped up at this moment and tore the demon apart with his bare hands.
Jiang Hao also participated. This time, he did not make a fatal attack but attacked the weakest point on the devil's neck with his dagger. As each demon fell, a white bubble appeared.
[Strength +1]
[Spirit +1]
All demons are killed. Jiang Hao walked past the corpses.
'Not even a single blue bubble.' Jiang Hao sighed.
However, he had already guessed that. Ever since he advanced into the Primordial Spirit Realm, blue bubbles had become increasingly rare.
When he was in the final stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he found so many blue bubbles everywhere!
If he wanted a better bubble, he would have to kill demons in the Primordial Spirit Realm, or the Golden Core Realm. But where could he find such a powerful demon?
“No survivors,” said Zheng Shijiu.
Jiang Hao went to join them. He has decided to be patient even though the bubbles found are not enough. He could use this time to familiarize himself with the Universe in the Palms Ability and learn the nameless manual.
“Jiang Hao of Broken Heart Cliffs?” said Ye Ji. There was a hint of admiration in the way he called out his name this time. He thought people would get hurt, but Jiang Hao did well.
“Ya,” said Jiang Hao.
“Have you developed a spiritual technique?” Ye Ji asked.
“Some,” says Jiang Hao. He knew some useful spirit techniques. That nameless guide had taught him many things.
Ye Ji nodded. “Beware and see if the previous surveillance team left something.”
The five agreed and began to investigate.
Zheng Shijiu and Xin Yuyue heaved a sigh of relief. They felt much safer with Jiang Hao.
Yue You looked at Jiang Hao. He frowned.
He was cultivating to pursue a solid foundation in his cultivation field, so he saw many things that others had missed,
Jiang Hao had just killed that demon with a single blow. His strength was stable, and his cultivation was refined.
He felt embarrassed because he did not do well in front of his seniors.
Jiang Hao walked forward and looked at the deepest part of the demon cave.
The light from the sky is still shining. It was as if the entire place had some sort of heavenly light. Danger comes from there. This was the core of the Devil's Nest.
Sighing, he began to ask about the whereabouts of his fellow disciples. Looking at the signs of battle, it seemed like they were being chased inside.
‘There's a good chance they found something. Many trees have been destroyed in this area. It seems that the fight is fierce.'
"I found something!" zheng Shijiu said.
“It was the sign of the Valley of the Ice Month.” Zheng Shijiu pointed to the watermark on the ground.
Jiang Hao scanned the sign and found traces of faint spiritual energy swirling within it.
“Can I guess which way they go?” ask Ye Ji. "This way." Zheng Shijiu pointed to the left.
“Come go and see.”
The six people headed towards the target. Jiang Hao was behind.
Shortly after, they reached the river.
“The sign indicates there is something underwater,” Zheng Shijiu said.
Ye Ji nodded. He took one step forward and used his powerful strength to separate the river.
Reverse!
Jiang Hao saw a magic formation appear in the water. There's something there!
Zheng Shijiu and the middle-aged man with a scar on his face pulled out the unconscious people.
They found three people. One man and two women.
Among them, one of the women had minor injuries. The other two suffered severe injuries, while the other two sustained more serious injuries.
“Suster Xia?” Zheng Shijiu recognized the woman.
“Something big has happened,” said the woman named Xia when she saw Zheng Shijiu.
“Enemies... among demons. They want to trap us. We need to run away or ask for more reinforcement. Otherwise, we will be destroyed.”
“Come back first.” Ye Ji got up.
The moment they came out, Jiang Hao turned to look at the place but did not feel anything was wrong.
"Don't worry. There are sect seniors inside the Devil's Nest. Our area is on the outside. There should be no strong demons here,” Ye Ji said.
The others nodded but could not say anything more. Soon, they returned to their camp.
Ye Ji asked them to bring the wounded to the alchemists while he escorted Xia to the cultivators of the Golden Core Realm. They need to discuss the situation and take action.
“Do you think what Senior Xia said was true?” Xin Yuyue asked.
"Where there is smoke there is fire. There must be danger around here,” Yue You said. “We must prepare.”
“If we are stuck inside and need the support of the sect, will they come in time?” Jiang Hao asked.
“It is difficult to say.” Zheng Shijiu frowned. “If we get stuck here, it might mean that the seniors in the Golden Core Realm are also trapped. Otherwise, they will run away to help. I think the sect will provide support in this case. If the sect has enough manpower, we might soon get more reinforcement. ”
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. The Heavenly Note Sect did not have enough manpower at the moment. They had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with Azure Mountain. Moreover, they were in conflict with the Blackheaven Sect, so many people were sent to the mine.
The Heavenly Saint Sect also became restless due to the battle. They might infiltrate the Devil's lair.
If they get stuck here, they have to take care of themselves. The situation doesn't look good..
