THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
229: Pressing Strong Opponents
Zhuang Yuzhen stood still, staring straight at the person outside.
Jiang Hao smiled faintly and took a step back. “Your attitude has changed. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhuang Yuzhen scowled.
“How is the Corpse Natural Flower Seed cultivated?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hmph! You are merely a late stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator! yelled Zhuang Yuzhen. “Do you really think you can intimidate me?” “See you later, then.” Jiang Hao turned around and left.
"Stop! Stop right there!" yelled Zhuang Yuzhen.
Jiang Hao ignored him. Next time, he will bring gifts to the prisoner. But first, he needed to see what Qu Zhong was going to do.
If the person did not move, Jiang Hao would not do anything and wait. Killing the clones would do nothing but warn the enemy.
Jiang Hao decided to wait for the traitor to appear.
After Jiang Hao left, the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower became silent.
Zhuang Yuzhen lowered her head. He wanted to stay calm, but he couldn't.
After a while, he roared. “Tell him to come and see me! I want to talk to him!”
Only silence welcomed him back.
“Bring him here! I'll tell you how to cultivate the Corpse Natural Flower…
Just call that guy!”
His voice finally caught the attention of several guards.
"I want to see it." Zhuang Yuzhen's voice was low.
“Who would you like to meet?” A black-robed woman asked coldly.
“People who just came here a while ago. A late stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, ” Zhuang Yuzhen said.
“He is not under my jurisdiction. I can't call her, ” said the black-robed lady indifferently.
“Then find someone who can!” Zhuang Yuzhen shouted furiously.
“Show sincerity, and maybe I'll think about it!” said the woman.
“The cow, bat, mouse, swallow, pig, and beetle must be buried in the soil every two days so that its seeds can absorb nutrients.. It will sprout in seven days!”.
Baizhi looked at the note in disbelief.
Regardless of whether what was written on the note was right or wrong, his progress shocked Baizhi. The prisoner was so stubborn up until now.
“That's what the prisoner said,” said the black-robed woman.
“Why did he suddenly say that?” Baizhi asked in confusion.
“Today, Jiang Hao went to the Lawless Tower, and then he talked to the prisoner about something. I saw Jiang Hao leave after that, but the prisoner started yelling and screaming hysterically.”
"Oh?" Baizhi surprised. “Do you know what he said?” she asked.
The black-robed woman shook her head. “I'm too far away to hear it.”
Baizhi was silent for a moment. “Zhu Chan, meet me.
Zhou Chan, who was guarding the gate, arrived with his flying sword.
“Two, greetings!” Zhou Chan respectfully greeted him.
“Take this and try to follow the instructions.” Baizhi handed the paper to Zhou Chan and told him to leave.
“Did you promise her something?” Baizhi asked.
"NO." The black-robed woman shook her head. “Then there is no need to do anything,” Baizhi said.
“And what if I promise her?”
Baizhi smiled. “That's no problem. He is our prisoner. The longer we hold him, the more he will realize who holds power here.”
“Then...” the black-robed lady hesitated for a moment before asking, “Should we use something as bait?”
Baizhi chuckles. “Two visits Jiang Hao means your interrogation for months. Do you think there are other things that can be used as bait?”
The black-robed woman lowered her head. Thas right.
After dispersing the guards, Baizhi wondered what to do next.
He did not care how Jiang Hao achieved it. After all, Jiang Hao's role was to be a decoy to lure the traitors. However, he wanted to know if he had betrayed the sect in any way.
Without proof, he could not take action against her, no matter how suspicious she was.
The Sect Master had only assigned him to investigate Jiang Hao and not take action against him.
Even if he found evidence, he would have to consult the Sect Master before taking action.
Only Jiang Hao was able to plant the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower. Baizhi did not know if it was a coincidence or so…
Others may be after him for no reason, but he can't. He was the only one who knew that the Sect Master had assigned Jiang Hao to plant his flowers.
'Maybe I can investigate the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower to understand why only Jiang Hao is capable of planting it.'
Jiang Hao felt like everything was going according to plan.
If Elder Baizhi asked him about it, he had the answer. He could tell her that he happened to find the name of a disciple from the Divine Corpse Sect and used it to attract the attention of prisoners.
It was a desperate move.
Regarding what would happen next, Jiang Hao was unsure. He decided to wait patiently.
Jiang Hao felt a sense of accomplishment when recalling how Zhuang Yuzhen yelled after him.
He saw a middle-aged man walking towards him. The man was wearing a white and blue Daoist robe. His eyes were deep and perceptive, and he exuded an overwhelming aura.
Jiang Hao stepped aside and bowed respectfully. However, the middle-aged man halted his steps when he reached Jiang Hao.
A powerful force was suppressing Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao broke out in cold sweat. After a while, the pressure disappeared. Jiang Hao suddenly realized that the middle-aged man had somehow appeared on the mountain without him noticing.
He's fast away.
'The Ruler of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion... Why did he appear here?' Jiang
Hao's heart sank. 'If he just attacked me, can I escape?'
Jiang Hao realized that there was no way he could escape alive if that happened.
'But why did he go to the Lawless Tower?'
Jiang Hao thought of Liu Xingchen's warning. He had said that someone from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion would come forward.
'Is he still trying to find a ship to advance? No wonder he hates me so much..
Jiang Hao returned to his house and heaved a sigh of relief. He decided not to go to the Lawless Tower for a while.
The next step would depend on Qu Zhong's actions..
