THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
88: Possessed By the Remains of the True Dragon Soul
At night, Jiang Hao rested in a small black room with his eyes closed. In his sleep, he saw the path Li Kai took and even saw Li Kai himself. Jiang Hao followed Li Kai subconsciously until the purple light lit up, making him regain consciousness. Jiang Hao was still asleep but was aware that someone had cast a spell on him.
This sudden realization made Jiang Hao break out in a cold sweat. If he had not developed the Hong Meng Heart Sutra, he might have killed Li Kai and Ming Zuoquan in his dreams, just like he did in the real world. Jiang Hao looked into the forest and turned to leave. He wanted to follow Li Kai, but he did not dare.
However, just as he turned to leave, Li Kai suddenly attacked. Jiang Hao subconsciously defended himself. He even asked Li Kai why he attacked him, but Li Kai did not answer.
In the end, Jiang Hao was severely injured. He fell to the ground. Li Kai's bone sword flashed and slashed. Jiang Hao's eyes opened. He looked around the dark room nervously.
He felt that something was locking on to him; it should be the work of some expert.
Jiang Hao sighed. The consequences of killing a formidable disciple were indeed very severe.
Next time, he'll lure them out. It was no wonder that many people in the Heavenly Joy Pavilion held back even though they hated it. Jiang Hao was not a formidable disciple, but his name was on the list of the Law Enforcement Hall. They did not dare to attack him.
After all, who would want to risk going to the Lawless Tower? Even if they managed to get out after a while, they would become paralyzed.
The next morning, Jiang Hao stood outside the Law Enforcement Hall, watching the sunrise. He's a little surprised. It's only the fourth day, and he's been released.
In other words, the beast had not been captured and no one had any evidence to prove him guilty.
“Congratulations, Young Brother Jiang,” Liu Xingchen said. “Only you are released as soon as this.”
“Don't you say it will take seven days?”
“That's because you've made a big contribution to the sect, so they can't hold you back for long. It must be stressful if your name is on the list of suspects, let alone locked up for days!” Liu Xingchen walked with Jiang Hao.
“Almost Broken Heart Cliff will not just stand still and watch without doing anything. Your recent contributions have made you valuable to the Broken Heart Cliff. Even the Law Enforcement Hall couldn't eliminate it. As long as you are proven innocent, they cannot hold you back for long. The others should stay put for three or four more days.”
Jiang Hao was surprised. The system is fair.
“Young Brother Jiang, you look surprised,” Liu Xingchen said. “Although we are called a demon sect, we have the right system. If one were to kill the disciples, it would have a bad impact on the sect. The Law Enforcement Hall is fair. They'll do anything to find the killer. If they could not find him in time, the Law Enforcement Hall would keep an eye on everything. They might even call the Heavenly Essence Soul Modelling Mirror for help.”
Liu Xingchen looked at Jiang Hao. “However, do not think that the sect is a safe place despite the prevailing regulations. If it was just an injury, the Law Enforcement Hall would not care. All decisions are left to twelve branches. The Law Enforcement Hall only intervenes if the situation becomes serious.
Jiang Hao understood.
“You better be careful of the Hundred Bones Forest,” Liu Xingchen said.
It made Jiang Hao confused. "Why?"
Liu Xingchen laughed. “Do you think you are inconspicuous? Your name has appeared on the list of suspects many times. You are associated with so many traitors. Everybody knows about you. Recently, you had a disagreement with Li Kai, and now he is dead. The person Li Kai followed might not be simple. He might target you in the future.”
Jiang Hao was surprised. He did not realize that he was so famous in the sect. He should keep a low profile.
As for the Hundred Bones Forest, Jiang Hao felt he would be safe as long as he stayed at the Heartbroken Cliff.
“If you want to have a better life in this sect, you must become a True Being
Student,” Liu Xingchen said. “If you become a True Disciple, Hundred
Bones Forest can't touch you.”
“But thus there will be no more restrictions for me to get out,” said Jiang Hao.
Right now, the Law Enforcement Hall was like an impassable wall. If he did not have the protection of that wall, the Broken Heart Cliff would not be able to protect him, no matter how hard they tried.
There was also the Eternal Sunset Sect, the Black Sky Sect, and the Heavenly Saint Sect behind him.
How could he survive if they all came to him?
“Maybe first become a True Disciple and then get on the list again,” Liu Xingchen said.
Jiang Hao thought it was a good idea, but it wasn't easy.
The first step is to get off the list, which is not too difficult.
Furthermore, he would apply to become a True Disciple. He has a 70% chance of success%. Then, he would have to be on that list again, and it would be very difficult.
“So, somehow I can get into that list later?” asked Jiang Hao.
“Not easy. Unless you have anything to do with traitors,” Liu Xingchen said. “Although that's the case, Law Enforcement Hall won't put you on the list without sufficient evidence. Your status will be too high. They will only do that if the problem is too big to ignore.”
Jiang Hao was silent. That's too risky.
He suspected Liu Xingchen was implicitly trying to get him to find the traitor he needed to capture.
Jiang Hao hesitated. He then used his Daily Assessment ability on Liu Xingchen.
[Liu Xingchen: True Disciple of the Heavenly Faction. Born with the aura of a dragon and a cultivation base at the Peak of the Golden Core Realm. There was nothing better to do than to be a spy of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Note Sect. The reason he is on good terms with you is to approach the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower to pay close attention to him. He is watching you because he thinks you are responsible for all the deaths. He was currently being possessed by the rest of the True Dragon soul.]
There wasn't much change from the time he judged Liu Xingchen the last time, except for the last line.
'Liu Xingchen is possessed by the rest of the True Dragon's soul?'
Jiang Hao was a little worried.
So far, Liu Xingchen had only helped her in everything.
Once the rest of the True Dragon's soul took over his body, the old Liu Xingchen would disappear from him.
'Should I tell him?'
Jiang Hao did not know how to tell him. He wanted to know how Jiang Hao knew. There was no easy way to tell Liu Xingchen.
Jiang Hao decided to pay attention to Liu Xingchen.
After a while, they parted ways and Jiang Hao headed to the Broken Heart Cliff.
Jiang Hao went to see his master and then returned to his house.
The spirit beast was lying beside the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower. He looked at her intently, as if he wanted to do something to the flower. He looked around and saw Jiang Hao.
The beast leapt back in surprise.. “Master, you're back!”
