Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1269: Senior, Please Rest At The Jade Cloud Pavilion For A Few Days (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After accepting the mission, Jiang Hao went to the Law Enforcement Hall.

He found it odd that both men and women were listed for the mission.

He did not know what the sect intended to do.

This reminded him of when someone had once explained sect missions to him.

Back then, he would often run into Liu Xingchen here.

It had been a long time since he last saw him, and he wondered how he was doing.

Perhaps he had gotten himself into trouble because he was always looking for drama to enjoy.

He could understand many people, but Liu Xingchen was completely beyond his comprehension.

He often put his life at risk just because he was bored.

He had missed a great opportunity previously. For all he knew, he might be dead and buried in a foreign land.

Still, Jiang Hao had a feeling that Liu Xingchen would not die so easily.

But those remnant souls were too powerful. If Liu Xingchen was not careful, he would get burned while playing with fire.

There were too many powerful cultivators in the cultivation world at present.

There were immortals from ancient times to the present.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao waited patiently.

This time, the team consisted of twelve people, including himself. It was a sizable team.

This made it easy for things to go wrong, especially after entering the mining area, where they would be divided into three teams.

If his team succeeded and the other two teams failed, the overall outcome would still be considered a failure.

Then, he would be in trouble.

Should he go to the Fallen Moon Sect or not?

‘Is it possible to avoid going there by paying some spirit stones?’ Jiang Hao thought.

After spending so much time and money at the Task Hall, Jiang Hao felt that there would be room for negotiation if he failed in the competition.

This applied not only to the Heavenly Note Sect but also to the Fallen Moon Sect.

Three million spirit stones would tempt anyone.

After waiting for a while, people began to arrive. The first person surprised him.

It was Zheng Shijiu, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

“Senior Brother Zheng, you’re early,” said Jiang Hao with a smile.

He was quite surprised. He did not expect to go on a mission with Senior Brother Zheng.

“As expected, you’re the first to arrive, Junior Brother,” Zheng Shijiu said warmly.

“I was a little worried about the four Golden Core Realm cultivators on the list. But now that you are here, I feel at ease, Senior brother,” said Jiang Hao.

He was concerned that the Golden Core Realm members might have their own agendas, which could easily affect the outcome.

With Brother Zheng around, he felt reassured.

They had collaborated many times, and each time, Senior Brother Zheng had performed well.

He was trustworthy.

Then, two more people arrived. They were two women.

Xin Yuyue of the Thunder Fire Peak was at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. There was also Yue You of the Flowing Waterfall at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

When he saw them, Jiang Hao felt rather sentimental.

Three of the four Golden Core Realm cultivators were the people he knew. It was a pleasant surprise.

However, he was curious why there were female cultivators this time.

“The sect assigned us. I’m not sure why.” Yue You still carried her massive sword as always.

“I’ve heard some things,” Xin Yuyue, who had grown a lot, said. She was no longer the young woman she used to be. “It’s said that the other side prefers females too, so they don’t mind the participants’ genders.”

Jiang Hao nodded. He was not surprised.

“I didn’t expect you all to have such high cultivation levels after so many years,” Xin Yuyue said with a smile.

She did not sound jealous at all.

“Senior Sister Xin, you’re only one step away from the middle stage. Moreover, your foundation is solid. Your path in the future will surely be smooth,” said Jiang Hao.

“You still call me Senior Sister?” Xin Yuyue asked in embarrassment. “Junior Brother, you’re already at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm and a True Disciple of the Cliff of Broken Hearts.”

“You were a Senior Sister back then, and you still are now. But my reputation isn’t that great. I hope you don’t mind, Senior Sister” Jiang Hao said earnestly.

“Not at all. Those people are just blind.” Xin Yuyue waved her hand dismissively.

She never expected the person in front of her to become so outstanding.

When they first met, she was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he was in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Fifty years later, she was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, while he was at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

The difference was like night and day.

Who would have thought that the Junior Brother, who was always quiet and looked down upon, would suddenly make it to the candidacy for the seat of the top disciple and end up becoming a True Disciple of the Cliff of Broken Hearts in just fifty years?

He had led them through sect missions several times and taken them out of danger.

It turned out that legendary figures did start off as ordinary people.

“Senior Brother Zheng, you can choose a suitable woman from the other sect,” said Yue You teasingly.

Xin Yuyue smiled. “Indeed… Senior Brother Zheng, are you looking for a partner?”

Everyone seemed to enjoy this topic.

Jiang Hao was also curious if Senior Brother Zheng had thoughts of finding a Dao partner.

Zheng Shijiu shook his head. “We haven’t won yet. We need to be cautious. It’s said that the Fallen Moon Sect excels in charm techniques that affect both men and women. We must be careful. Otherwise, we might lose before we even set off.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao sighed with emotion. It had been a long time since he had seen charm techniques and enchantments in use.

Back then, he had tried to learn some charm techniques to understand them better.

At present, he probably did not need to pretend to fall for them.

But if he had the time, it would not hurt to learn more about various techniques.

The five True Immortals who attacked him each had different methods—swords and shields, fists, spells, and spears.

Jiang Hao remembered all of them.

In a few encounters, he was defeated.

It showed what the Heavenly Note Sect would face once the Great Era began.

If the Sect Master was unable to turn the tide, the Heavenly Note Sect would most likely fall apart.

“The others are here,” Zheng Shijiu suddenly said.

Jiang Hao turned to see the new arrivals.

This time, there were six more people.

There were four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators: one middle-aged man at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm and a gloomy, black-robed man at the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

The six of them seemed to form a group.
