THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
179: I Became a Tool
Back at the camp, Ye Ji walked forward. He turned around smiling. “You can find me anytime if you run into trouble, Young Brother Jiang.” Jiang Hao nodded. He activated Daily Valuation on her.
[Ye Ji: Inner disciple of the Misty Cloud Peak. At the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. He used charm on you eighteen times as an attempt to captivate your heart by making you infatuated with his beauty and personality so that you willingly followed him to the core of the Devil's Nest. He wants you to protect him from harm, even if it means death to him. You are a tool for him. He destroyed a device he could not use.]
“Yeah, I did intend to get into the core of the Devil's Nest.”
He really wants to go there. Once inside, he could face the danger there alone. Without anyone else there, it would be easy to fight and endure until reinforcements arrived.
He could even search for demons residing in the Primordial Spirit Realm or the Golden Core Realm. He might find more bubbles!
The only thing he needs to worry about is finding a way to avoid attention.
“I will wait for your confirmation tomorrow,” Ye Ji said.
After saying goodbye to him, Jiang Hao returned to his cabin. Nothing surprising about the assessment. The people in the demon sect functioned like that. That's normal.
They take advantage of people for their own benefit and throw them away when they are unused.
The only thing that confused Jiang Hao was that he had used magic on him eighteen times! He doesn't even feel anything.
'It looks like I need to do some research on charm and charm. I needed to find something in the nameless manual that helped me detect it when it was used on me. Maybe I can use it to my advantage someday.'
Jiang Hao ransacked his storage treasures. He found three books on charm and magic. He wanted to read it immediately, but he saw something on the stone tablets.
Message appears in the group. They are the same people as before.
However, there is an invitation. Someone invited him to join the conversation in the middle of the night.
'Maybe this is the person Hong Yuye is looking for!'
Jiang Hao hesitated and then decided to join that night. After all, he was an undercover agent. He watched their conversation for a moment.
It was a conversation between Gui and Xing.
[Gui: The giant python I was chasing escaped. Damnit damnit! I'm going to arrest him. But it won't get away from me. I curse! His strength would weaken bit by bit. When I catch him, I'll skin him! How dare the beast eat my things without my permission!]
[Xing: Despite being weaker, you might not be able to find it. Didn't you say he had the ability to hide himself?]
[Gui: Just wait until I find it. I will destroy it with my bare hands!]
It seems that Gui took something important from him by a python.
'The ability to hide?' Jiang Hao was envious because a ferocious beast possessed such an ability.
After that, they started discussing about the meeting that night.
[Gui: Senior Dan Yuan will join us tonight. I wonder how many others will join this conversation.]
[Xing: I think many will stop by.]
[Gui: The newcomer is probably reading our conversation right now. I wonder if he will join as well.]
[Xing: He might join us. Otherwise, it is useless to have a stone tablet.]
Jiang Hao watched for a moment and then kept the stone tablet. The goal is to disguise. He needs to find out who is behind all the stone tablets.
If he wanted to do that, he needed to blend in with his group. Just watching their conversation might not help.
'And Yuan? Is that a name or a code for something?'
He read a book about spells and waited for midnight to arrive.
On the main line of defense, in the camp of the Golden Core Realm cultivators, three people sat cross-legged on the ground.
Ye Ji sat on the left. A grim-faced man sat on the right. In the middle was a muscular man with a large shield by his side.
“You invited a late Establishment Foundation Realm Cultivator?” asked Lan Feng, the grim-faced man. “He's not strong enough. He'll just be cannon fodder. What's the point of taking her?”
“What if he is willing to sacrifice himself for me?” Ye Ji smiled. “He is very sharp. He detected the danger and acted very efficiently. I have fascinated him. If there is any danger, he will die saving me.”
“What was his name? Jiang Hao of the Broken Cliffs?” ask Jin
Long, muscular man. “He is still on the list of Law Enforcement Hall suspects. You better be careful.
“We won't do anything to her!” said Ye Ji.
“Jiang Hao from Broken Heart Cliff... That name sounds familiar,” Lan Feng said.
“The Devil has a lot of treasure, but I'm not sure this place has any treasure. If you want to do this, I won't stop you. You'd better destroy whatever's inside and succeed.'
"Of course!" said Ye Ji. “This will be an incredible achievement. I'll be the last one to survive.”
Lan Feng snorted.
"What's so funny?" Ye Ji asked.
“Nothing,” said Lan Feng. “Not that I underestimated the person you recruited, but.let's talk about this Jiang Hao. He had just been in the final stage of the Natural Establishment Foundation. What can he do? I know a little about him. I remember he made it through some lucky encounters on his way. He hid in the Spirit Herb Garden and did nothing! But he might have some treasures or techniques on him.”.
“If he dies... who will take his storage treasure?” asked Lan Feng. “I took 70%, and you took 30% of whatever we found in his storage treasure,” Ye Ji said.
“60/40,” says Lan Feng.
“Then let's do this. We rely on our own abilities,” Ye Ji said.
“OK,” says Lan Feng.
Jin Long was not involved. He would rely on his formation for defense. That's the safest.
He can hold on until the end. Because they are trapped, they need to do everything they can to survive.
Jiang Hao closed the book on talismans. He hasn't read everything. From what he understood so far, charm was activated through body language, eyes, and speech.
There is also an entry on the effect: making others feel infatuated with spellcasters.
If one had the charm of nature, it would be easier to cast spells and bewitch others. Every word and gesture strengthened his charm. It can even make people fall in love with the spellcaster.
'No wonder so many people are willing to avenge Senior Brother Yun Ruo. They even threw away their own future and disguised themselves just to kill me, so they could avenge him!'
It is natural that some people go to extremes to get what they want, but many people refuse to let go even after a long time.
Jiang Hao sighed. 'Senior Brother Ye Ji tried to do the same to me. Thankfully, amulets and magic are useless to me because of Heaven
Extinction Poison Gu.'
He didn't know if he was happy or sad about it.
