THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
237: Asking for the Devil Woman's Help
After Xiao Li stopped crying, Jiang Hao left the courtyard.
Funeral will be held soon. He could not attend, but he asked Cheng Chou for help.
Jiang Hao left because of Gui. He would soon find this place because of that dragon. He might send someone to investigate secretly. After leaving the courtyard, Jiang Hao walked to the riverbank.
As the two old men were dying, Jiang Hao showed them the illusion of their children running to their bedside. He did not want them to die with regret, so he showed them what they wanted to see.
Jiang Hao could not help but worry about Xiao Li. It was a huge blow to him. It reminded him of his stepmother. Even though he was being rude to her, he still raised her when she was a child. When he saw the two old men exhaling their last breaths, he inevitably recalled his stepmother. Unfortunately, she has not been able to find him or his father.
Jiang Hao stood for a long time by the river. The wind blew gently and swung his robe. It carried a familiar faint scent in the air.
Jiang Hao suddenly turned around. Sure enough, he was there again. She was wearing a red and white dress. His long hair was swinging in the wind. A belt tied his slender waist. Right now, he was looking into the river, so Jiang Hao could only see the side of his face.
'Hong Yuye's... How did he suddenly appear here?'
"Seniors…"
“I saw the village holding a funeral. Am I entitled to assume that it has something to do with you?” He turned around to look at Jiang Hao.
“This is related to the junior I was looking for,” said Jiang Hao. “She only has those two people, and they just died.”
“You can't stand to be there?” Hong Yuye faced Jiang Hao. Then he walked upriver.
“It's not like that.. It just makes me feel sad because life is too short,” he said.
"How's it?" hong Yuye asked while glancing at him.
“I know that Young Sister Xiao Li has to face today.She joined the heavenly Note Sect, so her parents' lives got better. They should have lived a long life and lived comfortably, but now, they had died only after a few years since Xiao Li had joined the sect. Time is too short for them to be together.”
“Do you remember why you took the sword?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Ya,” said Jiang Hao. “Sekte Abadi usually use sword.”
“Do you think you look like someone from the demon sect?” ask Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao lowered his head and remained silent.
Hong Yuye stopped talking and walked quietly along the riverbank. Jiang Hao followed him aimlessly.
“Will my tree bear fruit?” she asked.
"Almost." Jiang Hao nodded.
“Will this year be sour or sweet?” Hong Yuye looked at the sunset.
"Sugary."
"Sugary?" Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao with a seductive smile. “But I want to eat something sour.”
“Something should be acidic too,” said Jiang Hao.
Raw ones will taste sour. Jiang Hao wondered if Hong Yuye would find his fault as well.
He hesitated. “Senior, may I ask for your help?”
“Help?” Hong Yuye asked. "certain. However, you have to return something as payment. We can put it in your tab for now, and I can take it next time.”
“Can you bring that spirit beast here?” asked Jiang Hao.
Hong Yuye reached out and grabbed the air. An unconscious spirit beast appeared in his hands, covered in blood and bruised.
"This?" Hong Yuye threw the beast at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was confused. He did not understand how Hong Yuye did it.
“No need to thank me. You can pay me back next time.” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao. “Tell me about your progress. It's been over half a year. How was your camouflage mission?”
“I did make some progress, but I still need to sort out some of the details,” Jiang Hao said reluctantly.
Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao calmly. Then a wave of power erupted.
Bang out!
Jiang Hao was thrown and smashed into a boulder.
“I hope next time you can be confident,” said Hong Yuye. The pain made Jiang Hao's eyes water. As he looked up, Hong Yuye had already left.
With that, Jiang Hao finally let out a sigh of relief. The problem was that it was difficult to investigate the person who was behind the stone tablet. It is almost impossible to find the location.
If he wanted to find them, he needed to provoke the people in the group so that they were willing to reveal their location.
However, uncovering the real culprit behind the stone tablets was almost impossible. Even Dan Yuan might not know who was behind it all.
Jiang Hao looked at the spirit beast in his hand. Cheng Chou was not a person who liked to entertain. Xiao Li needed all the support he could obtain. The spirit beast might have been able to comfort him all this time.
As he threw the beast onto the ground, he woke up and wailed.
With that, Jiang Hao communicated with the formation in his courtyard, where he hid the ring. He disappeared from his place.
He had learned one thing from all of this: The Hidden Heaven Secrets Talisman did not work on Hong Yuye. Perhaps he could only hide from her after he lost the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison. Since it was unlikely to happen any time soon, he needed to focus on his cultivation.
In the Heavenly Note Sect, Du Yong glanced at Jiang Hao's courtyard. He then turned and left.
“We cannot continue the initial plan. That's too dangerous,” he said.
Originally, he planned to befriend Jiang Hao and lure him out of the sect. After that, he would make his real body possess him and turn him into a Divine Corpse.
However, he learned that Jiang Hao was unable to leave the sect easily.
“This sect has many rules. Many things are forbidden here. But they don't care what happens outside the sect.”
What really made him change his mind was the Corpse Natural Flower.
Under normal circumstances, the Corpse Natural Flower could not bloom at all.
Even he did not know how to cultivate it, so it was almost impossible for the Heavenly Note Sect to know of it. The only possibility was that something had happened to his master.
What kind of trouble made his master uncover the secrets of the Corpse Natural Flower?
There was only one reason: it had something to do with Corpse Heart. Only that could make his master compromise.
“The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower was in Jiang Hao's hands, and the award for the blooming of the Corpse Natural Flower was also given to Jiang Hao.”.
“Either he has someone supporting him from behind, or he has a certain ability.”.
“According to my previous speculations, with his age and possession of the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower, it is possible that he is the illegitimate child of a high-level member of the Heavenly Note Sect. But now it doesn't seem like that's all. Perhaps Jiang Hao was the illegitimate son of the Sect Master!”
“Now that the Corpse Natural Flower has bloomed, it means that my master's Corpse Heart might be found as well. Also, I may be a target…'
“My only advantage is that my strength far surpasses the Foundation Establishment Realm. The real me should not appear, but we still need to place the Corpse Heart closer to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.”
“What is the safest way to do it?” Du Yong furrowed his brows. “I cannot possess Jiang Hao... Why not let my master possess him? If the Corpse Heart blooms, my master can directly possess it.”
“As long as I trick him and lure him out, I can approach him with my clone. By replacing the Corpse Heart with his heart, he would naturally feed the Corpse Heart as he was always around the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower the entire time. The moment the Heart Corpse is released, I can control it, and the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower will also be in my hands.”
If everything went smoothly, this plan was the most efficient way to obtain the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower.
But he needs to think about it carefully. After all, he had to prioritize his true safety..
