THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
33. Young Brother Jiang Yang Tough
“Why is it bad?” xin Yuyue asked with furrowed brows.
“Because” said Zheng Shijiu while looking into the distance. “If the three of them do meet, there must be an intense fight. It would not be strange if the two from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion returned. They are stronger than Junior Brother. But...if he comes back to us here, what do you think will happen?”
“That the people of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion might... fail?” xin Yuyue said.
“It's not that simple. If, under any circumstances, Young Brother Jiang returns, it means he killed two others,” Zheng Shijiu said.
"That's impossible. How could someone at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage kill others at the late and peak stages?” Xin Yuyue felt that it sounded almost impossible.
"That's right. If that happens, isn't it a disaster? That meant Young Brother Jiang had a special ability even to subdue someone at the late and peak stages. Someone stronger than him. Do you think he'll let us go if he thinks we're a threat?” zheng Shijiu said. “You are in the early stages, and I am in the late stages. If he kills them both, it won't be difficult for him to get rid of us too.”
As he finished his words, Xin Yuyue looked to the side, terrified. He nudged Zheng Shijiu. “S-Senior Brother, look!” he said nervously.
Zheng Shijiu turned his head to see where he was pointing. He did not understand why he was so afraid. But as he turned around, he saw a young man walking out of the forest. His footsteps were stable and he looked calm.
Zheng Shijiu's pupils narrowed. His heart was pounding as if something bad was going to happen in a moment.
“Senior Brother, what should we do?” Xin Yuyue asked in a low voice.
If they did not discuss the possibility of Jiang Hao being able to kill people stronger than him, he would not worry about it. But now, he felt that he would be attacked at any moment.
The young man walking towards them was Jiang Hao, already fully healed from his injuries.
“Do not be nervous. Keep your distance from him. We cannot stay in the Devil's Nest. The sooner we leave, the safer it will be. Don't get too close to him. As long as we can run, it's okay, ” said Zheng Shijiu.
Jiang Hao contacted them. Zheng Shijiu smiled at him as he moved away slightly. “Young Brother Jiang, did you get something this time?”
“The demon dwellers have mostly been cleansed,” replied Jiang Hao.
He found the two to be a little different than before. They seem to be wary of something. He slowly understood the reason for their reaction. He has returned but the other two have not. It clearly looked suspicious since they knew the two were eyeing Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao did not care. He had no intention of fighting with them as long as they did not attack him. Moreover, there was no evidence of a fight with the people from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion. No one knows what happened, anyway,
Kill them both to silence them…
It seems like a bad idea. This will raise too many unnecessary suspicions.
“Has Senior Brother and Sister of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion still not returned?” Jiang Hao asked.
“They must have been delayed because of something,” Xin Yuyue said.
“Then we don't have to wait. Let's go,” Zheng Shijiu said with a smile.
Under normal circumstances, he would be urged to stay there for a day or two to wait for them. But he doesn't care about them now. The longer they stay here, the more dangerous it will be.
"Yes. They're not kids. They will return on their own after completing their mission,” Xin Yuyue added.
Jiang Hao nodded in agreement. He had been in the Devil's Nest for over two months now. He was worried about the state of the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower.
However, they did not fully relax. It was strange that the person they most needed to be aware of was the young man they took for granted.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Jiang Hao gave up his mission. In the future, people would visit the Devil's Nest to ascertain how many demon dwellers had been cleansed. Once they are sure, the gift will be shared.
Regarding the discovery of the corpse, Jiang Hao did not care. They will soon become food for the remaining demons. If the Law Enforcement Hall had not investigated the Devil's Nest, no one would have any evidence to convict him.
But he wasn't sure what Liu Xingchen would do. He wished he hadn't gone and investigated it himself.
Jiang Hao had already cleared the scene. Technically, nothing else can be found.
After leaving the mountain where the Law Enforcement Hall was located, Jiang Hao decided to visit the Cliff Master before he returned to his home.
Her employer was a little surprised to find her safe and sound. But he nodded in good faith and did not investigate any further.
Jiang Hao finally walked home. It's been two months since he's been here. As he looked at his little garden, he noticed there were two blue bubbles in the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower.
(cultivation + 1]
[blood of life + 1]
The Snow Lotus did not yet have any bubbles. Looks a bit withered. The Blue Lotus was on the verge of collapse. Jiang Hao watered the plants.
'It looks like no one is visiting. Maybe the traitors are actually afraid to show themselves.' He checked his surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief.
He's resting for a while. He then took out his Shadow Blade to check it out. The blade is already full of cracks. Although it was useful in killing Qing Xue, its blade had reached its limit.
'The gift this time cannot compare to this magical treasure.' Jiang Hao shook his head and placed his sword in the corner. It's just for decoration now.
He opened his interface and checked his current condition:
