THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
194: Are You Not Dead?
Zheng Shijiu did not believe it. Senior Brother Ye Ji hasn't even returned yet, so nothing is certain.
Two more days passed, and still no one returned.
Ye Ji, Jiang Hao, and Lan Feng were invisible. Thats odd. It is unclear if they were delayed due to something or something unexpected happened on the way.
The two who returned from the trip felt superior to the others for having taken the perilous journey and returned safely. They even mocked some of the other disciples for not being as bold as them. They even occasionally criticized Jiang Hao for being careless, who had sacrificed his life.
Zheng Shijiu still felt it was unlikely that Jiang Hao would die that easily.
The two disciples did not dare to reveal any further information. They were worried about the return of their comrades, yet they still wanted to look brave.
Three more days passed, and there was still no news. No one came back.
This crisis has long been resolved. The group that headed to the core to resolve the problem should have already arrived by this time.
Jin Long gathered everyone together. “Those who are healed, come with me to exterminate the demons in the forest. Ye Ji and the others had not returned yet. They might be trapped. We will try to find them and help them as we can.”
No one refused. They did not dare to refuse his senior.
Those who were seriously injured did not need to follow. Xin Yuyue and Yue You had recovered quite a bit from their injuries, so they decided to follow the group. Clearing the demons is beneficial. Moreover, they could use more spirit stones.
Zheng Shijiu also planned to follow the rescue group into the forest.
Two days later, they met many demons on the way. They fought with all their might.
Fortunately, those demons fought only based on instinct, so it was not difficult to get rid of them.
Zheng Shijiu swung his paper fan and launched a fierce attack. He took his time this time. He retreated slightly to lure the demon into an empty area. Immediately, he fought near Xin Yuyue and Yue You. They glanced at each other.
Everyone feels a little awkward.
Zheng Shijiu smiled. 'You two have worked hard, ' he said. “This devil-devil is very tough. ”
“True, Senior Brother Zheng,” Xin Yuyue said. “This time, the fight with these demons is truly unforgettable.”
Yue You just nodded.
After that, they went to different areas. Zheng Shijiu was relieved. 'Why should they retreat to the same area?'
Zheng Shijiu looked at Jiang Hao. He fought near the edge while trying to dodge the attacks of other demons.
Xin Yuyue and Yue You also noticed him. How is he here? He should be dead!
Jiang Hao felt helpless. After deliberately delaying for a few days, he finally managed to return, only to find out that they had already started exterminating the demons. He's still joining.
This time, he had no intention of killing the demons with a single strike. He just wanted to hide among them. So, he delayed the fight.
It seems that others are doing the same. After all, the demon sect was a demon sect. They lack cooperation and a sense of unity.
To avoid notice, he had changed his location. He had just avoided the demons to pass the time when he noticed Zheng Shijiu and the others.
Jiang Hao killed the remaining demons and greeted them. It's been a long time since he left. He asked them about the current situation on the defensive line.
Yue You and Xin Yuyue were surprised to see that it was really Jiang Hao! But why is he here?
How is he here with their group? They don't remember him joining their group. They hadn't even seen it when they started this rescue mission.
“When are you back, Young Brother Jiang?” Zheng Shijiu asked.
“A few moments ago. I saw many of you fighting demons, so I joined,” said Jiang Hao.
The three men were silent. The explanation makes sense, but it still feels strange.
Zheng Shijiu hesitated for a moment, then explained the situation of the past few days. He also mentioned the two disciples in the Foundation Establishment Foundation who had just returned.
“They said I was dead?” Jiang Hao was confused. When he thought about it, it made sense. He had disappeared from the start, so they probably thought he was dead.
“I understand why they think like that. I hide from the devil. I am lucky to recover from my injury. When I finally felt strong enough to make a move, I hesitated to find Senior Brother Ye Ji and the others. Instead, I decided to return to the defensive line.”
Zheng Shijiu nodded. He did not know if Ye Ji and the others were a match for Jiang Hao. It was unclear if Jiang Hao was telling the truth. From what the two disciples said, Ye Ji and his group probably would not live life so easily.
If they were to target Jiang Hao, they would most likely not return.
“So... we just need to clean up the rest of the demons?” asked Jiang Hao. “Senior Brother Ye Ji and the others must have been a success.”
Zheng Shijiu and Xin Yuyue felt that something was strange.
Yue You did not say anything. He still remembered what Zheng Shijiu and Xin had done
Yuyue said. He felt something was wrong. Jiang Hao was still in the final stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm. 'How can he escape and hide from the demons?'
After that, the group did not talk much. They focused on exterminating the remaining demons. This time, they teamed up and killed the demons quickly.
They advanced forward, with Jin Long taking the lead.
They followed the path that Ye Ji and his group might have taken.
Half a month passed on the way. They found two bodies of disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The group felt regretful but did not slow down their pace. Another month passed, and they focused on exterminating the demons. They found another body.
Thirteen people had gone into the forest. Among them, they found three bodies, while the other three came back alive. Seven people have not been found.
After a month of searching, they found another body. Six people left.
Of course, most people did not know that Jiang Hao was still alive. They thought Jiang Hao died early.
After half a month, they found Lan Feng's gravely injured relic and corpse.
A Gold Core Realm cultivator had died! When the two Foundation Establishment Level cultivators returned, they were fearless and optimistic. However, seeing Lan Feng's mutilated corpse frightened them.
There might be a powerful enemy lurking in the shadows…
When finding the relic, many people wanted to explore it further. Jin Long was also tempted.
They thought this was where Ye Ji and the others were
be found. There may be no danger inside.
“Young Brother Jiang, do you want to come in to see it?” asked Zheng Shijiu.
After two months, their wounds healed. Yue You carried her greatsword on her back once again.
"NO." Jiang Hao shook his head. “These places usually tend to be dangerous.”
He really didn't want to go inside. The oppressive might he had encountered earlier made him uncomfortable. After all, the pear was already in his storage shed. There is nothing in the ruins.
He had sealed the Pearl of Misfortune every day. The sealing time limit has reached two years.
However, for the past two months, there was nothing wrong with his pearl. Perhaps the worst has passed.
The demon cleansing along the way is almost complete now..
