THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
49. The Eyes Of Other Sects In The Mine?
“Senior Brother Mu Qi is injured? How come?" Jiang Hao was surprised.
Mu Qi was a formidable disciple. His cultivation realm was extremely high, and he was stronger than most of the other disciples. Someone must have done a sneak attack on him.
“He helped in mining,” Liu Xingchen said in earnest.
"Young Brother, I assume you've heard about the fight between the two, Heavenly Note Sect and Azure Mountain?”
“Ya,” said Jiang Hao. “I heard that our sect is still superior in that fight.”
"Yes. Elder Baizhi was personally involved this time around. The other elders also did not remain silent. The Cliff Master, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Excitement Pavilion, the Peak Master of the Thunder Flame Peak, and the Valley Master of the Ice Moon Valley were all involved in the fight. Moreover, Azure Mountain already had internal disputes to deal with. Things don't look good for them now. We still win.”
“But they just finished the DAO Conference,”. “Many experts from the conference are willing to provide assistance to Azure Mountain. Last month, Elder Baizhi injured the Azure Mountain Sect Leader quite badly. Our sect has the advantage for now.”
“Many of those arrested have been thrown into Lawless Tower or forced to work in mining.”
“So, who was captured not just from Azure Mountain? There are people from other sects as well?” asked Jiang Hao.
Liu Xingchen nodded. "Yes. Many tried to make efforts to free those arrested. That was how Mu Qi was injured. He managed to catch them in time and send them to the Lawless Tower.”
Jiang Hao nodded. However, he felt confused. Liu Xingchen might not have come this far just to tell him about it.
Although they were not hostile towards each other, Liu Xingchen would not have glanced at him a second time, let alone spoken to him, if it was not something important.
Soon, Liu Xingchen revealed the purpose of her visit. “Mu Qi is injured, so he can't help anymore. We need someone from the Broken Cliff to replace him. Right now, you look like a suitable person for the job. Most likely you will be approached with the offer.”
Jiang Hao lowered his head and remained silent. He did not have any urgent matters that required his attention in the Spirit Herb Garden. There was no harm in replacing Mu Qi in the mine. Moreover, the spirit beast was there to defend the garden in case anything happened.
“Thank you, Senior Sister.” Jiang Hao said with gratitude. Knowing this beforehand will help him prepare mentally when he is called upon.
“Sister, do you still remember the spy you killed?” Liu Xingchen suddenly mentioned Jinzhou Heng.
Nothing happened after that. No one came looking for him.
No one even asked how he could do it. When someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm killed someone in the Golden Core Realm, it usually made people curious. However, no one approached him.
“The problem may not be resolved,” Liu Xingchen said. “Jinzhou Heng is from the Sunset Sect. He came here to kill you to avenge Yun Ruo. He had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm. Not much is known about him, except that he is simple and honest. No one knows what he did to make Jinzhou Heng sacrifice himself to get revenge.”
“We were going to catch him that morning, but he managed to meet you. We don't know who told him about you. There are others chasing you too, you know. We arrested about five people. They are being held at the Law Enforcement Hall for now. We had to hunt them down in these last few months.”
No wonder he didn't visit Jiang Hao. Who are the other spies?
“She is from the Ghost Shadow Sect. He was thrown into the Lawless Tower. He might be sent to the mine soon. Coincidentally, he had worked as a miner before. We're still investigating. There may be traitors in the mines. Young Sister, you must be careful when joining the mine.”
“It is difficult for Law Enforcement Hall to investigate the mine. They have their own rules, so it affects the investigation.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother, for having warned me,” said Jiang Hao thankfully. “I remember you saying Yun Ruo has influence in the Sunset Sect. He had someone of a higher status who was obsessed with him. Is that Jinzhou Heng?” "NO." Liu Xingchen shook his head.
Jiang Hao did not ask anything else. It was clear that the Sunset Sect was still a threat to him. As for the Ghost Shadow Sect, he didn't care much about it.
The Ghost Shadow Sect was probably targeting the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower and not him personally. However, the Sunset Sect wanted him dead.
Jiang Hao needed to worry about that mine for now. It was very easy for the traitor to attack him when he entered the cave.
He not only needed to worry about all that but also the people who hated him in this sect. However, Liu Xingchen told him not to worry about the Heavenly Joy Pavilion for now, as they were busy fighting against the Azure Mountain. They do not have the time or energy to deal with it.
Jiang Hao thanked him for the information, but he remained vigilant.
After Liu Xingchen left, Jiang Hao went to the Spiritual Herbal Garden alone. He saw Mu Qi at the entrance. He looks very pale.
