Chapter 765: Using Another’s Blade to Kill

Jiang Hao had thought that the Heavenly Gate Sect was merely displaying their superiority.

After all, the Heavenly Note Sect didn’t possess any profound attainments that could be shown off, and the Spirit Herb Garden was rather at an ordinary level. Yet, members of the Heavenly Gate Sect still came to visit and learn.

Naturally, it was to showcase their own superiority.

However, Jiang Hao didn’t expect them to be so arrogant.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to answer. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

“Friend, haven’t you figured it out yet?” Yin Xueni asked.

Jiang Hao lowered his head respectfully. “The reason isn’t very complicated. The Fragrant Nether Flower prefers shade, mainly because its roots need coolness. Otherwise, it would absorb moisture from its leaves and branches and cause toxins to cover the whole plant. However, the Ice Crystal Grass surrounds the Fragrant Nether Flower, so it keeps the spirit field cold, and they thrive on toxins. So, the Fragrant Nether Flower gets its coolness from the Ice Crystal Grass, and the grass gets nourishment from the flower. That is the reason for planting them this way.”

Jiang Hao’s response was clear and logical. It left them stunned.

Even Bai Yi was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Junior Brother Jiang, don’t show off. How could these esteemed seniors not be aware of such small matters? Do you think the disciples from their sect are a bunch of fools? I’m sure the question was just meant as a test for you. Don’t get too comfortable.”

Jiang Hao nodded in agreement and dared not say more.

Senior Brother Bai was indeed straightforward. He didn’t want to stir up any trouble.

But even so, these people already had a grudge against him.

Sure enough, the five people looked displeased.

They forced out a smile and made an excuse to leave.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. He could only take things one step at a time.

As Jiang Hao arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden the next day, he overheard them discussing something.

They said the Heavenly Gate Sect was furious.

‘Furious?’ Jiang Hao wondered if something had happened last night.

Didn’t they consider the presence of the Divine Corpse Sect and the Mountain Sea Sword Sect here?

Even if they disregarded the Divine Corpse Sect, the Mountain Sea Sword Sect should still make them reconsider.

Upon inquiry, he heard that several more deaths had occurred this time, including individuals with significant status.

The issue seemed to have escalated.

However, it had nothing to do with him this time. He hadn’t done anything.

On the other side, in the area where the people from the Heavenly Gate Sect were staying, the middle-aged man was fürious. He argued with the people from the Heavenly Note Sect.

After a long time, the people from the Heavenly Note Sect eventually withdrew. They seemed to have placated the guests somewhat.

At that point, the middle-aged man sat down in the room.

He looked furious as well as a bit sad. He also looked somewhat impatient.

A woman walked into the room.

“The people from the Heavenly Note Sect have left?” the middle-aged man asked.

“Yeah, they’re gone.” The woman nodded.

The middle-aged man’s anger and sadness seemed to dissipate at that. His face showed annoyance. “How are they alive? Wasn’t it rumored that provoking the Heavenly Note Sect was dangerous? Wasn’t the Cliff of Broken Hearts supposed to be a risky place? Those five people humiliated them, yet they are still alive and well. The Heavenly Note Sect has an undeserved reputation.”

“It’s said that a few managed to survive by luck. Besides, the five people were defeated in the Cliff of Broken Hearts by words alone. No one was angry in the end. Maybe that is why they didn’t retaliate,” said the woman.

“Useless! They were defeated by words alone in a sect like the Heavenly Note Sect that lacks any foundation! They can’t even tend the Spirit Herb Garden well.” The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.

“The woman hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is that the right thing to do?”

“What’s not right about it?” The old man sneered. “These people are just scum. They’re not worthy of attention. Why keep them around? Are we tarnishing our sect’s reputation? We might as well make the most of it and gain some benefits for our sect. Besides, we’re just making them experience the real world of cultivation. If their skills are lacking, who can they blame? In the worst-case scenario, those killed might belong to the Heavenly Note Sect. We’ll just have to take responsibility for that. Or… we can just blame the Great Thousand God

Sect.”

“But…” The woman felt uneasy.

“No buts!” said the middle-aged man. “You know what kind of people they are. There are some we can’t touch, but once they’re here, no one cares about their status. A demonic sect is a demonic sect. They chose to provoke other people. If they get killed for that, what can the sect say? Will they rage or kill their way to the Heavenly Note Sect? Let them come and kill. Those who have held power for too long are already corrupt. Since that’s the case, let’s use this newly risen sword to ruthlessly slay the corruption within the sect. What’s wrong with that? A group of people we can’t educate… Let the Heavenly Note Sect educate them. Let’s see who survives.”

The woman was silent for a long time. “What about the remaining people…” “Wait a little longer. If they don’t die, just kill them and blame it on the Heavenly Note Sect. We brought them along, but I have no intention of taking them back,” said the middle-aged man indifferently.

“Alright.” The woman nodded.

They deserved to be killed.

Jiang Hao noticed that Liu Xingchen looked excited to visit him.

It seemed like he found something amusing yet again.

With some members of the sect dead, it was a busy time for the Law Enforcement Hall.

If he was here so early, there was probably some progress in the investigation.

His excitement suggested that the matter was quite interesting.

This time, Jiang Hao wasn’t worried because it had nothing to do with him. He was eager for Liu Xingchen to tell him of the new developments.

“Junior Brother Jiang, have you heard?” Liu Xingchen asked.

“Yeah, I heard that many people from the Heavenly Gate Sect died.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Do you know who did it?” Liu Xingchen asked again.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment before. “Wasn’t it the Great Thousand God Sect?”

“That’s what the Law Enforcement Hall concluded. The Great Thousand God Sect has been reckless lately. It must be their doing,” said Liu Xingchen.

Jiang Hao was silent. As far as he knew, the people from the Great Thousand God Sect had gone quiet lately. How could they be reckless so suddenly?

If the Heavenly Note Sect said so, then it must be true.

But did the people from the Heavenly Gate Sect believe it?

Jiang Hao asked this, and Liu Xingchen’s answer surprised him.

“They do, but our sect is still to be blamed. In the end, we can only offer some spots in the Corpse Realm to appease the Heavenly Gate Sect,” Liu Xingchen said. “However, during our investigation, we found several suspicious individuals. Junior Brother, do you know who they might be?”

Jiang Hao shook his head, but he felt it must be some seniors from the Heavenly Note Sect.

This kind of thing wasn’t new in the sect.

“First, we found some suspicious individuals from various branches, but they all had alibis, so we didn’t pay much attention to them. However, this only accounted for a part of it. Another part led us to the Divine Corpse Sect. After the investigation, we found they had picked up a small portion of storage treasures. It’s our sect’s responsibility to retrieve it for investigation,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.

“The most interesting part is that the Heavenly Gate Sect also had suspicious individuals in their midst. It’s truly unexpected. Several people who visited you are all alive and well,” Liu Xingchen said as he stared carefully at Jiang Hao. “What do you think of that, Junior Brother Jiang?”

Jiang Hao chuckled. “Nothing. Isn’t that normal?”

“True.” Liu Xingchen shrugged it off. “By the way, let me tell you something. The list of individuals allowed to enter the Corpse Realm has been revealed, and your name is also on it..”
