Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 396 – Assumed To be A Demon Lord

Chapter 396: Assumed To be A Demon Lord

EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For Jiang Hao, this time going out was actually quite risky. There were two potential dangers.

First, if the people from the Law Enforcement Hall found out, the consequences could be significant.

Second, there was a high probability that someone was observing him from outside. Mishandling the situation could lead to trouble.

So, before going out, he used the Breath Concealment Talisman to hide his celestial insight.

Then, he suppressed his aura. He shrouded himself in purple energy and followed behind Senior Sister Yu Xuan.

Although an unexpected situation had emerged, he was still in control.

He didn’t know if the people from the Law Enforcement Hall had come looking for him, but no one from outside seemed to notice him.

After reaching the sect, he used the Heavenly Cauldron ability to seal the two people within it. This way, it would be difficult for anyone outside to detect them.

After dealing with them, he decided to return using the golden rings.

The time spent wouldn’t be much. Theoretically, no one would discover anything.

“After all, it is still outside the sect. Neither of them has any notable achievements. The Law Enforcement Hall probably won’t be overly involved.”

The people from the Law Enforcement Hall had many matters to attend to. They couldn’t manage everything outside the sect, nor did they need to.

Unless it was someone important, like matters concerning a True or a Top Disciple.

The matters that went on outside the sect were of no concern to the Law

Enforcement Hall. They wouldn’t employ the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling

Mirror. That mirror terrified him.

He didn’t know when he would be able to bypass that mirror.

He opened Yu Xuan’s storage treasure.

After a thorough inspection, he found 2,123 spirit stones, several pills, a small number of spirit herbs, some pill formulas, an unfamiliar spirit sword, an alchemy furnace, and a blood gourd with an intricate design.

She was definitely wealthy.

She was the wealthiest Golden Core Realm cultivator he had ever met.

However, the spirit sword and the alchemy furnace weren’t easy to sell, and the blood gourd would bring trouble.

The pills and herbs could fetch a good price. Maybe around two to three thousand.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the spirit sword and alchemy furnace were only average treasures.

Finally, he focused on the blood gourd. The scent of blood was strong.

However, he didn’t understand what it was for.

It was definitely superior to the alchemy furnace and spirit sword in terms of quality.

After packing everything up, Jiang Hao opened Senior Brother Bai Ji’s storage treasure.

There were 972 spirit stones, several pills, a manual on cultivating flesh and blood, and another blood gourd.

Jiang Hao felt that the treasures they had were similar in nature. They were both alchemists, after all. Alchemists from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion did make substantial spirit stones.

But…

“Why do both of them have a blood gourd?”

Jiang Hao took out the two blood gourds. It gave off a strong scent of blood. They were identical.

He first collected the spirit stones and pills.

He now had around 4,600 spirit stones.

If he sold the pills and the herbs, he would get around four thousand more.

He decided to leave the treasures for now, as they were risky to sell.

Soon, he realized that the pills were also hard to sell. They were of the Golden Core level.

He would leave it for now. He casually flipped through the manual on cultivating flesh and blood. Jiang Hao put it away.

It was useless to him.

His lifeblood far surpassed the results of this cultivation.

Early in the morning, Jiang Hao took out the blood gourd and activated his Daily Appraisal ability.

Yesterday, he used it to identify Bai Ji. So, he had to wait until early morning to use it once more.

[Blood Wish Gourd: A gourd refined by Qian Chen from the blood and flesh of countless people. It is used to detect Blood Wishes.]

There wasn’t much information given, but one line was enough to alarm Jiang

Hao.

‘Countless people?!’

A blood gourd made out of the flesh and blood of countless people…

And there were two blood gourds!

Jiang Hao fell silent. He could never do something like this.

He wouldn’t hesitate to kill when it meant protecting himself, but he couldn’t murder innocent people needlessly.

After placing the gourd away, Jiang Hao thought about Qian Chen.

‘So, he is the one following the Blood Wish Path… It all makes sense now. Yi

Lian’s repeated attempts to participate in the Dao Conference… the meetings… It was all Qian Chen. He was manipulating her to sway people’s hearts.’

‘Even the recent event where Yu Xuan targeted me… He must be behind that too.’

‘A Soul Ascension Realm cultivator standing up for a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator is an effective way to win the latter’s heart.’

Jiang Hao realized that if a senior helped him while he was getting bullied, he would do anything in return for that senior out of gratitude.

Within demonic sects, self-interest played a prominent role.

Once one entered a group led by a strong senior, they would receive protection and cultivation experience. Everyone would be willing to be a part of such a group.

‘But why spread rumors everywhere that I’m cultivating the Blood Wish path? Is someone paying attention to those who cultivate the Blood Wish Path?’ Jiang Hao frowned. It was highly likely that someone was behind this.

It might not necessarily be the Heavenly Note Sect who was keeping an eye on those people. Maybe someone from other sects…

The Blood Wish Path was too ruthless. Other sects might want to put an end to it.

If the rumor reached them, they would surely target him!

By then, wherever he went, he would be labeled a Blood Wish Path Demon.

Jiang Hao sighed. He had only considered the impact within the sect.

Fortunately, he hadn’t gone out of the sect lately.

Looking at the blood gourds, Jiang Hao felt somewhat relieved.

If the Heavenly Note Sect was an immortal sect, he would have believed that whatever happened tonight had been a trap set for him. Someone wanted to blame everything on him.

If anyone was investigating the matter, they would assume he was following the Blood Wish Path even if he wasn’t.

However, in the demonic sects, it was acceptable. People would just assume he did it to advance to higher cultivation realms.

If everyone assumed he followed the Blood Wish Path, he wouldn’t need to constantly come up with excuses to justify the rise in his cultivation realm.

Jiang Hao gazed at the Blood Wish Gourds. These things could be used as evidence.

Of course, he wouldn’t admit it openly.

“Now that Senior Brother Qian Chen has lost two Blood Wish Gourds, I wonder if he will take drastic actions to get them back.”

Jiang Hao started meditating to calm his mind.

As for the Blood Wish Gourds, he applied the Breath Concealment Talisman and then sealed it using the Universe in a Palm Technique.

Hong Yuye would probably detect them, so he tried to be extra careful while disguising their aura.

Otherwise, he would be the one at a disadvantage.

Early the next morning, Jiang Hao didn’t sense any changes from the sealed gourds.

Even ten days later, no one from the Law Enforcement Hall came to find him. The people from the Spirit Herb Garden gradually recovered. There were no accidents and no new causes for concern.

There was complete silence from Senior Brother Qian Chen’s side.

The Law Enforcement Hall was the same.

Even Liu Xingchen hadn’t come to him.

From the looks of it, Senior Sister Yu Xuan’s death hadn’t brought about any consequences.

Jiang Hao was quite puzzled. Why was there no action from Senior Brother Qian Chen?

Jiang Hao went to the Hundred Bones Forest.

He wanted to check on Bai Ye.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye’s cultivation was still at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. His injuries hadn’t fully healed.

It had been so long since he last attacked him. It shouldn’t have been like this.

He decided to set aside the matter of Bai Ye for next time.

Overall, the Spirit-Sealing Technique was a success.

Bai Ye was in the courtyard. He gazed at the sky. He was wondering why Jiang Hao hadn’t made a move for such a long time.

He felt that maybe he had finally escaped disaster..
