CULTIVATING IN SECRET BESIDE A DEMONESS

Chapter 1442: The Fallen Immortal Clan’s Determination (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Rumors…

Jiang Hao had endured many rumors.

Accusations of showing off and cultivating the Blood Wish Path always followed him. It was always full of contempt and mockery.

They looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts, even though he had reached the candidacy to compete for the position of the top disciple.

Whenever he made it to a new stage or a new realm, he always challenged the one holding the position and won fair and square.

But most people still did not believe it. They always assumed he was winning unfairly because of the Blood Wish Path.

They believed that the Blood Wish Path would not take him very far.

Those rumors had been beneficial to Jiang Hao.

Because they underestimated him, they would lower their guard.

If something were to happen, he could make the first move and catch them off guard.

But things had changed.

Those three people, in an attempt to clear their names, had pushed him out into the spotlight.

To make it seem believable, they claimed that his true cultivation realm was at the Soul Ascension Realm.

He had only been in the sect for a little over seventy years. It made the claim appear unreasonable.

But sometimes the truth did not matter. As the rumor kept spreading, some people would eventually believe it. Even those who did not believe it would still focus their attention on him.

The three of them would remain unscathed.

Of course, this would not bring much danger. On the contrary, many people would be afraid of him. However, if he were really hiding his true cultivation realm, that would be troublesome.

What he wanted was for others to underestimate him, not to be wary of him.

He only hoped that those who targeted him in the shadows could be wise enough to understand that this was just a distraction.

Afterward, Jiang Hao told Cheng Chou to go back and not to worry about this matter.

This situation was beyond his control and could only be put aside for now.

Hopefully, with time, it would resolve itself.

After that, Jiang Hao had no further matters to attend to, and the sect did not send anyone over.

Liu Xingchen brought some people from the Law Enforcement Hall over for a visit.

They asked a few simple questions, such as, whether they had killed the other team.

They answered that they had not, after which, Liu Xingchen and the group of people left.

They said that if it was not them, then someone else must have done it.

Jiang Hao was not surprised. Under normal circumstances, the sect would not intervene, especially now when they did not have enough manpower.

Sending someone over to investigate already showed considerable attention.

In the following days, Jiang Hao let Nie Jin and the others act on their own as long as they did not cause trouble. They could observe the river however they liked.

Jiang Hao, on the other hand, was practicing his blade.

Each slash was slow but carried his own intent.

The blade and his body became one, yet it felt out of place with its surroundings, as if it wanted to cut through everything around it.

With nothing else to do, his heart was fully devoted to the blade.

He felt everything and made up for his own shortcomings.

He no longer knew how to quickly improve himself, so he could only keep swinging his blade while he sensed the sword and the surrounding space.

Of course, he was also comprehending the blade intent that appeared when he saw the three words, “Great Gathering Heaven.”

This blade intent resided within his body, and every swing of the Heaven Blade would trigger it.

He practiced his blade day after day without any interruption. Day changed into night.

A month later, around the end of October, there was only one month left before the challenge.

Jiang Hao noticed people appearing around him.

Most did not approach him directly but were observing the surroundings.

Some others entered the Heavenly Note Sect directly.

For a time, the sect was on high alert.

Although everyone knew these people were not here for the Heavenly Note Sect, the arrival of powerful individuals still posed a threat.

If they were displeased, they might take it out on the sect.

Jiang Hao was not affected much, but he could still sense some things.

The sect was in a difficult position, and chaos could break out at any moment.

Without strong measures, the arrival of these powerful individuals could indeed lead to unexpected incidents.

Jiang Hao sighed.

He had used Smiling San Sheng to divert attention but had also attracted many powerful individuals, which had put the Heavenly Note Sect in danger.

He had already sensed quite a few of them, and there were likely many more he had not detected.

But none of them seemed ready to make a move, so Jiang Hao was not concerned. He continued to study the basics and calmed himself.

He did not quite understand what it meant to challenge the Master of the East Heavenly Pole.

But as long as he did his best to win, there would not be any losses.

When it came to an escape route, he had to depend on Hong Yuye.

There was a certain chance she would appear again before the battle.

If she did not, he would have to be prepared to escape this troublesome place himself.

…

At the Immortal Gazing Platform, the old man who was smoking his tobacco frowned and looked at the sky.

“A rare visitor…”

He sighed. It had been many years since he had felt this way.

“You’re really alive,” said a voice from afar.

A figure appeared in the sky. Then, it approached rapidly and materialized at the edge of the Immortal Gazing Platform.

The man had slightly gray hair and a domineering immortal aura. There was no sign of Dao energy or Dao patterns on his body, yet those around him felt as if they were gazing at the stars and the sea.

Cultivators could even hear the Dao’s sacred sound.

However, when this figure looked at the old man, he looked a little fearful.

“If you’re still alive, why can’t I be?” The old man blew a puff of smoke. “The Fallen Immortal Clan truly isn’t what it used to be. After my death, you couldn’t even protect the immortal seed. It was destroyed by the Human Emperor with one strike.”

“What about you?” The middle-aged man sneered. “Are you any better?”

“You’ve changed.” The old man blew a cloud of smoke and sighed. “You used to fear me, but now, that fear is gone.”

“You’ve changed too.” The middle-aged man said icily, “You’re no longer as sharp, nor as powerful as you once were.”

“Then, what do you want with me?” The old man laughed heartily.

“Do you know about the East Heavenly Pole?” asked the middle-aged man.

“Naturally…” The old man nodded.

“Then, you know what I’m about to do, so I hope you won’t interfere,” the middle-aged man said.

“The establishment of the Supreme Immortal Court has nothing to do with me. I have no reason to interfere. But I’m just curious… After establishing the Supreme Immortal Court, how do you plan to deal with all living beings?” asked the old man.
