The gentle breeze swayed the hem of Baizhi’s dress.
She thought about how to answer Hong Yuye.
“Jiang Hao went out some time ago. I’m not sure where he went. It’s most likely that the person behind him took him away somewhere. That’s why we didn’t dare to act rashly. His cultivation realm seems to have improved a lot after his return. He is preparing for the selection competition. It doesn’t seem like he needs to prepare so much. He is powerful. Although he seems suspicious, there is no evidence to prove that he has betrayed the sect. It seems he had come into contact with many powerful things, but none of them had brought any changes. I’m sure he’ll be victorious in tomorrow’s competition.”
“Anything else?” Hong Yuye raised her teacup and asked.
“We investigated his spirit beast too. Although its origin is suspicious, it still seems to be fine. It doesn’t act against the sect in any way. I also saw a little dog beside Xiao Li. That dog is a bit strange. It seems such creatures are afraid of Xiao Li. She is extraordinary, after all, but she doesn’t seem suspicious in any way. But we can’t rule out the fact that the person behind Jiang Hao has an influence on them. For now, that person doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions against our sect. We need to continue investigating.”
After a pause, Baizhi said, “Jiang Hao isn’t a fanatic. But a person like him shouldn’t be provoked, especially since his cultivation has been increasing steadily. If someone does something to anger him, even if he has no intention of harming someone, he might end up doing it.”
“How’s the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Jiang Hao has set up a formation around the courtyard. It’s quite impressive. I think it has something to do with the person behind him. It’s not easy for our people to observe it, but with the help of magic treasures, we have been able to keep an eye on it. There is no problem at the moment. I still think that the person behind Jiang Hao is after the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Until the flower matures, the person will definitely lie low. We must find them before that,” said Baizhi.
“Alright.” Hong Yuye nodded.
After that, Baizhi reported the news from overseas. The End of All Things seemed to have gone quiet these days.
However, many people were paying attention to the depths of the sea. They seemed to be searching for something.
They did not have details about it yet, so they were still investigating.
In addition, the informants overseas needed some powerful cultivation techniques to improve their findings.
“Isn’t the Great Thousand God Sect coming here?” Hong Yuye asked. “Just ask them for some cultivation techniques.”
Baizhi nodded.
It was not that the Heavenly Note Sect lacked cultivation techniques, but it was easier if they got it from other places.
They still needed to find out who was colluding with Azure Mountain to target the Heavenly Note Sect.
There were figures from overseas who had been involved.
At present, they could confirm that two people were involved: The End of All Things and Heavenly King Taomu.
After reporting some more information about the sect, Baizhi left.
She actually had more thoughts about Jiang Hao. She wanted to find someone close to him and set them up to a task to spy on him.
That way, she could find out more.
Perhaps she could use Miao Tinglian of the Cliff of Broken Hearts for the task.
Another way was to find someone who could offer to be a partner to Jiang Hao to spy on him secretly.
She could then bind that person to the Heavenly Note Sect. That way, if the secret opponent planned anything, she would be alerted.
At the very least, Jiang Hao would be on the side of the sect because he did not seem like a person who would abandon his spouse.
He was more like a disciple from an immortal sect rather than from a demonic sect.
But she did not dare to take such drastic measures yet.
Jiang Hao was far too important. If she did anything at all, it might alert the person behind him.
Besides, the Sect Master valued him. She needed to find hard evidence first.
It was better to let Jiang Hao be at the moment.
She sighed and decided to call someone from the Great Thousand God Sect.
It just so happened that the Heavenly Saint Sect was not on good terms with them at the moment.
She could use that to her advantage.
On the last day of the selection competition, Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb garden with the spirit beast.
There were no disciples here today.
They had all gone to watch the competition.
“Where’s Xiao Li?” Jiang Hao asked.
“She’s eating. She said that she has a tough battle to fight today,” Cheng Chou said.
Jiang Hao was surprised.
Was the fight that tough for someone in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?
Then, he looked at the spirit beast. Did the spirit beast not have so much influence? Was it not enough for people to fear and admit defeat?
“It’s just time for her dinner,” Cheng Chou said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
If she won, she would run to the cafeteria as fast as possible. If not, she would starve a little longer.
Even if it was just the Foundation Establishment Realm, she seemed stressed about it.
The competition was intense.
If Xiao Li followed Cheng Chou’s footsteps, she would most likely be stripped of her title as True Disciple in a few years.
She might not really care about it though.
After that, Jiang Hao went to the arena alone.
Today’s first battle was against a Senior Sister.
She looked beautiful and gentle. When she flipped her hair, he realized she was using enchantment.
Jiang Hao could tell.
He pretended to be in a daze.
“Senior Brother, please show me mercy. I’m not very strong,” she said.
Jiang Hao felt annoyed, but he pretended to be affected by her pretense.
She felt that men were all the same, and this one was even worse. How many years had it been since he had touched a woman?
She could easily charm them.
She stepped forward and unsheathed a spirit sword.
A biting cold sword intent surged.
One strike was enough to defeat anyone.
She slashed.
Clang!
The Half-Moon Blade collided with her sword. The pitch-black sword pressed against her throat in the next instant.
If he pressed it harder, she would bleed.
She felt a chill down her spine. She might die at any moment.
Then, he sheathed his sword.
“Senior Sister, thank you for letting me win,” Jiang Hao said politely.
She was still frozen in fear. She lowered her head and did not say anything.
Then, he turned around and left.
She felt as if she had just barely returned alive from death’s door.
Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
Many people used charm techniques and enchantments in a fight. It was understandable. In a fight, there were no rules. One had to use everything they had.
During the second round, Jiang Hao had just arrived at the arena when he heard a loud boom in the distance. A person was sent flying.
Then, a small figure ran out of another arena with a spirit beast in tow.
Jiang Hao looked on with mixed emotions.
Why was Xiao Li working so hard?
She did not seem to care about resources and status at other times.
“Junior Brother Jiang, it’s been so long,” said a voice.
Jiang Hao turned around and saw a slightly drunk man with a wineskin.
‘Senior Brother Jiu Wu…’
He had seen him at the Cliff Master’s place a few times.
He was one of the True Disciples of the branch that Jiang Hao was part of.
It would not be so easy to win against him.
