Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 469: The Heavenly Note Sect Falls

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Hundred Flowers Lake, there were faint ripples on the surface of the lake.

They were caused by raindrops falling.

It was drizzling.

Baizhi stood in front of the pavilion. “Sect Master.”

At this moment, Hong Yuye, who was in the pavilion, was sipping tea and staring in the direction of the lake. She was lost in thought.

After a short while, she put down her teacup and asked, “Is the sect under attack?”

“Yes.” Baizhi nodded. “They used the Blood Wish Path as an excuse. So far,

Azure Mountain has mobilized its entire sect. The Blackheaven Sect, the Sunset Immortal Sect, the Wind Lightning Sect, and other immortal sects are also participating in this war. The number far exceeds that of the previous Azure Mountain’s Dao Conference. It seems that their goal is to win this time.”

“What’s your plan?” Hong Yuye poured herself some tea.

It seemed like a casual question.

Baizhi had prepared herself for this and carefully chose her words. “Azure Mountain’s actions this time are a bit unusual. After investigating it, I found that someone had incited them. They resolved disputes and placed Azure Mountain at the forefront. According to his words, as long as the Heavenly Note Sect falls, they can absorb resources and recover to their peak, or even surpass it.”

“And then?” Hong Yuye took a sip of her tea.

“I suspect this person has ulterior motives because he has no reason to go to such lengths. Either he is being compelled by someone or he has ulterior motives. Azure Mountain is related to someone in the overseas regions.

Although we have some clues, we have not been able to catch the mastermind. This person is very likely the one we are looking for. Therefore, in the subsequent battle, our main goal is to capture him,” Baizhi said.

“What about the other sects?” Hong Yuye looked at her.

“Our sect is in a weakened state, so it is obviously not the best choice to confront all the immortal sects. Their main goal is the mine, so we’ll let them go at it. It’s also an opportunity for us to explore that place. If we don’t suffer a little, or if they don’t gain something, it will be difficult to quell this situation. Therefore, I believe that as long as we achieve our goal, some necessary losses can be accepted. This way, we can also buy time to recover and avoid such incidents in the future,” Baizhi said. Hong Yuye quietly sipped her tea.

Baizhi was worried.

She didn’t know if the Sect Master was satisfied with her plan.

But in her opinion, it was the best strategy.

There was actually another option, which was to ask the Sect Master to take action, but that would lead to hostility from other sects.

Things could easily get out of hand, and she naturally wanted to avoid such a situation. She dared not offer any opinion on whether the Sect Master should or shouldn’t intervene.

The teacup made a noise as it was placed on the table. Baizhi lowered her head.

“The management of the sect can be continued according to your own ideas,”

Hong Yuye said.

Baizhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The situations of the sect could indeed be handled according to her own ideas.

If the Sect Master didn’t agree, she would take action that very day.

Back then, Jiang Hao had been like that, and it was only then that she realized that she might have been wrong from the beginning.

Now, she understood even more why the Sect Master valued Jiang Hao.

This time, it didn’t involve anyone else, so she didn’t need to worry too much.

The most troublesome thing was actually the mines. It was hard to determine what would happen there. But these costs had to be paid.

If the mine was temporarily lost, other important places would be left alone.

Many people knew about the existence of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. If these people targeted the flower, it would be troublesome.

Every time Jiang Hao returned home, he could feel the hidden gaze.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the gaze would disappear.

He tried several times to find the location of the spy, but he couldn’t find any traces.

He didn’t know if their cultivation realm was too high or if they had a special treasure.

‘It’s possible that their cultivation realm is high. They might not have concealed their gaze because they were certain I might not detect it. If that’s the case, someone is secretly trying to protect the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.’

Now, with many sects besieging the Heavenly Note Sect, continuing the battle would undoubtedly lead to the Heavenly Note Sect’s defeat.

Moreover, during the attack, someone might sneak into the sect. Once they came for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, the divine item would be in danger. Therefore, it was natural for someone to try to protect it secretly.

Not long after returning to his residence, Jiang Hao headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.

Now, that place needed to be closely watched. The other Spirit Herb Gardens were not as secure as his, so those who needed spirit herbs would prefer to come here.

However, they didn’t have all kinds of spirit herbs.

When Jiang Hao left, two shadows breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a man who had been watching the surroundings of the house said,

“What are we watching this place for?”

“I don’t know. Senior Sister Yinsha was in charge of this job, but she disappeared recently. So, we have to take her place,” said the woman whose eyes were closed.

“Jiang Hao… I’ve never heard of this name before. He might not even know that there are two people secretly guarding his house.” The man smiled.

“He is in the Foundation Establishment Realm. I heard that he cultivates very fast and relies on opportunities to advance. But some people say it’s because of the Blood Wish Path,” said the woman with her eyes closed.

“The Blood Wish Path?” The man was quite surprised.

“Yes. I inquired about it. He treats ordinary non-cultivators very well, and his actions are not like those of someone from a demonic sect. He wins people’s hearts and makes many people willingly offer themselves to him. The possibility of the Blood Wish Path is not low,” said the woman.

“I look down on the Blood Wish Path. After hearing what you just said, I find that this junior brother is a bit unpleasant,” said the man with a smile.

“His actions have nothing to do with us. Whatever path he chooses is his decision,” said the woman with her eyes still closed. “And try not to stare at him too much. What if he notices?”

“It’s unlikely, right? Even if he is in the Foundation Establishment Realm and is sensitive, he cant possibly notice us,” said the man.

“It’s better to be careful. After all, we’re on a mission,” said the woman.

“Okay, there’s really nothing worth paying attention to. Before I knew about the Blood Wish Path, I was a little curious. Now that you’ve mentioned his possible connection to the Blood Wish Path, I don’t want to pay attention anymore. It’s not that interesting,” said the man disdainfully.

A few days later, Jiang Hao saw several Branch Masters taking action.

He even saw Elder Baizhi, which meant the current situation wasn’t very optimistic.

He also heard that the mines were about to fall, and they might start withdrawing from the mines.

All these changes seem to indicate that the Heavenly Note Sect couldn’t hold on for much longer.

In the past few days, he hadn’t sensed that gaze again. He didn’t know if the people had left or stopped spying on him.

Anyway, he needed to be prepared.

If someone broke in, he would have to leave.

With his cultivation realm, he couldn’t do much. He might not even be able to protect himself, much less fight seniors.

The timing had to be right, too.

He needed to escape after the hidden people were defeated.

Otherwise, he might easily be held responsible for deserting.

“I wonder if the Sect Master will take action.”

Jiang Hao was curious.

The Sect Master should have even greater strength, and if they intervened, they might have a chance to resolve this crisis.

But…

How could a normal person stay in seclusion for so long?

Perhaps the current Sect Master was already at the end of their strength.

If they took action, it might be easy for other sects to see their true nature and make it even more dangerous for them.

Boom!

A loud noise came from the direction of the mines. Even though he didn’t see it, Jiang Hao knew that it had been breached.

For a moment, he tensed up..
