THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
177: I Don't Need Evidence To Kill You
The next day, Jiang Hao received no clear information or instructions. Perhaps the seniors themselves were unsure, or perhaps they were waiting for reinforcements.
Since there was no news, Jiang Hao could only investigate it himself. Every morning, he scanned his surroundings for clues.
After three days, there was no progress. The only thing they could do was try to cultivate and be patient.
This time, Jiang Hao focused more on the Light and Dust techniques and studied the third form of the Heavenly Sword.
He had not been able to learn the fourth form. Currently, the fastest attack technique was the third form: The Meteor.
If the demons had changed from prey to hunter, the Meteor technique would have been effective against them.
But one thing made him curious. How can the devil set a trap?
Satan only acts on impulse. They are not intelligent living beings. They did not have the intelligence to plot a trap for their enemies.
'Is there anyone who helps them, or are the demons really capable of having a higher intelligence?'
Jiang Hao felt the possibility of the latter was more likely to happen. When it comes to spirit beings, the strong once had a form of intelligence. Maybe the devil is the same…
Five days later, there was an eruption outside.
Jiang Hao exited his makeshift cabin and saw two disgruntled Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
“What really happened? Are we going to be stuck here as prey to the demons?” one of them shouted.
“If that's the case, we'd better go now,” add another.
The words of the two people confused the other disciples. Jiang Hao looked around and realized that none of them were aware of the current situation. They seemed to have heard the news for the first time.
"What are you talking about?" someone asked.
“Do you not know?” one of the two men said. 'We heard the demons were different than before. They planned a complicated trap to ensnare us!”
"What?"
"Is this true?"
They are not aware of the whole situation.
Jiang Hao looked down. It seemed that the wise choice to take right now was to leave this place. However, this was the mission of the sect. They can't just leave!
Everyone waited for the seniors in the Golden Core Realm to arrive and explain everything to them.
'How do they explain it, tough?' thought Jiang Hao. Will they tell the truth?'
Jiang Hao was not as anxious as the others. He just waited and observed the situation to make the best decision.
"Sunny!" A loud voice sounded from above.
Yi Ji stood high above and looked at everyone. Finally, his gaze was fixed on the two Foundation Establishment Level cultivators causing a commotion.
One was tall and the other looked fierce. None of them looked like easy opponents.
“Senior sister Ye Ji, everyone wants to know the truth. Are we going to be stuck here?” ask the tall student.
Ye Ji flew down. He looked at the two people calmly. “Where did you hear about this?”
“We heard it from someone,” said one of the two more fiercely.
“Who did you hear it from?” Ye Ji asked.
“We can't tell you. We just want to know if it's true,” said the tall student.
Ye Ji remained calm. “People who are aware of this issue have been with us for the past few days. No one else knows this except. You are a traitor who colluded with the devil.”.
Before they could answer, Ye Ji moved. There was an explosion of gold. Ye Ji reached out a hand from a distance and strangled the fierce disciple.
Blood spurting. Body twisted. There was a loud explosion, and he died on the spot.
“You...” The tall student trembled with fear. “What proof do you have to accuse us? Aren't you afraid of the consequences of killing a disciple because of a premonition?”
"Evidence?" Ye Ji smiled. “Look around. This was neither a sect nor a Law Enforcement Hall. Just suspecting is enough to get you killed here.”
He gathered a powerful force in his hand and threw it.
The explosion!
The tall disciple was instantly obliterated.
Other people were so scared that they did not dare to make a sound.
Jiang Hao was also quite surprised because Ye Ji instantly killed them. 'If no one knew of the information, could it be that the two were really traitors?'
If that was not true, would they be challenging a cultivator of the Golden Core Realm?
Jiang Hao decided to inspect the corpses. He activated the Daily Assessment.
[Corpse Gao Hu: inner Sect disciple of the Flowing Waterfall. At the final stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He made many powerful breakthroughs regardless of his body. He suffered many hidden and internal injuries in the process. He is under the influence of Satan. He wanted to become stronger and weaken the Heavenly Note Sect.]
'So they are traitors!'
Jiang Hao was surprised. He wondered if Ye Ji really knew about it, or if he just acted on a premonition and killed them.
“Yah. What they say is true. But we have not received any orders to evacuate. You can choose to retreat at your own risk or go it alone to fulfill the mission. He turned and left.
His words made the others dumbfounded. The students looked at each other. Most choose to stay where they are.
Refugeing without orders is a serious offense. No one dared to do it.
Going alone to fulfill a mission is tantamount to suicide if this is a trap. It is better to remain silent and wait for the next instruction.
Jiang Hao returned to his wooden cabin.
In the days that followed, there were no more internal investigations after the initial explorations around. It seemed like being trapped here was already an inevitable situation.
However, the demons had not launched an attack so far.
“Too quiet.” Jiang Hao walked out of his cabin, feeling uneasy.
Others feel the same way. They are bored and scared. They also become impatient.
Jiang Hao felt uneasy as the Gold Core Realm cultivators had yet to contact the sect. There's no news. So far.
The Devil's Nest was within the sect. It didn't take long to send a message to the sect and get a response. But there's nothing!
Jiang Hao flew with his sword. Their camp was not too far from the outside.
He frowned. There is a presence in front of him. He felt a faint spiritual energy. He increased his speed.
Finally, he reached the edge of the forest. The faint energy still existed. Jiang Hao raised his hand and gently touched the faint energy fluctuation.
Whooshing sound!
An invisible ripple blocked his hand.
Jiang Hao pulled out his hand and sighed. 'So we lost contact with the outside world. That's why the sect is so silent.'
As he turned around, he saw Ye Ji approaching..
