Chapter 470: I Can Relax Here For A Few Years, But What About Them?

A tremendous roar echoed. It far surpassed the first attack on the mine. In the Spirit Herb Garden, many people looked over. Their faces showed fear.
“Continue working. Don’t pay attention to it,” Jiang Hao said.
His voice held enough authority that it made the others snap out of their panicked state.
They didn’t dare to look or ask too much and buried themselves in their work.
Jiang Hao lowered his head.
He was actually very worried. Once they broke in, he would be in danger the most because many people were watching him.
Whether it was the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower or the previous grudges others had against him, they could easily get him into trouble.
Without the Heavenly Note Sect as a protective umbrella, the impact on him would be considerable.
But he didn’t show any emotions. He just continued to do his job.
It wasn’t time yet. He had to endure and avoid doing anything unnecessary.
When the time came, he would act.
In his presence, the ordinary people gained a bit more confidence in collecting the herbs.
It would be convenient for someone to come and collect them.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a burst of power from the Cliff of Broken Hearts.
Jiang Hao turned to look. The sound was coming from the direction of his house.
It seemed someone was indeed making a move on the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
“It seems the person who was watching me before was sent by Elder Baizhi.” Knowing this, he breathed a sigh of relief. They weren’t enemies.
As for now, he couldn’t go back.
There was a person guarding the divine flower for the Heavenly Note Sect, and there was also a powerful individual like Hong Yuye. The flower belonged to her. If others tried to touch it, they would be seeking death.
So, for now, he continued to wait.
The conflict at the Cliff of Broken Hearts naturally attracted the attention of the senior disciples.
Some powerful ones had already rushed over. They were people Jiang Hao had never seen before.
The booming sounds echoed several times and gradually subsided at last.
It seemed the intruders there had been suppressed.
Jiang Hao looked around. He was a little worried that someone would risk it and come in here to kill him.
The disciples of the Sunset Immortal Sect might still hold a grudge against him.
It would be a great opportunity for them to come and kill him right now.
Fortunately, among all the people in the garden, there was not one hiding their cultivation realm, nor was there anyone with an exceptionally high cultivation realm.
Before long, he saw someone being taken away.
It must be the person who went to his residence.
However, even though things had calmed down here, the rumbling outside the sect never ceased. There were towering pillars of light from the mine, followed by a pitch-black and dead atmosphere.
Jiang Hao looked at all this and frowned. He had no idea about the situation in those two places, so all he could do was continue to wait.
This situation lasted for three days.
It was then that things began to calm down. First, the front lines calmed down, and then, the mine.
Another three days passed.
The great battle had finally subsided.
Some disciples from the Cliff of Broken Hearts also returned. Each of them had suffered serious injuries.
Bai Yi also showed up once and was heavily injured.
He appeared to inform everyone that everything should continue as usual, and they couldn’t let their guard down for the time being.
The implications behind his words were that the sect had won, but they must still be prepared for the counterattack from other sects.
Jiang Hao found it unbelievable. How did the sect manage to do it?
It seemed impossible to win, no matter how he looked at it.
Unfortunately, Liu Xingchen was not present, so there was no one to tell him the details.
He instructed Cheng Chou to watch over the Spirit Herb Garden and went to the Lawless Tower for a visit.
On his way, he found that this place was busier than before.
And some seniors who were on guard duty had more or less suffered injuries.
Soon, he found a senior with some free time on his hands and asked about the situation.
It was only then that he realized they had deliberately let the intruders into the mine.
The main target of those sects was the mines, and the people left behind could support the front lines.
It took some time, but Azure Mountain and some other sects were defeated by them.
However, the mine had suffered some serious losses.
There was a dangerous aura emanating from inside, and it might make it much more difficult to mine it in the future.
Afterwards, there were negotiations.
There shouldn’t be any more fighting.
Taking advantage of the situation, he approached Zhuang Yuzhen.
“I heard that a person was surrounded and escorted to a higher floor by a group of people. The level of security wasn’t any less than when I was sent up back then. It seems your sect has captured another important person. We might be getting more reinforcements in a few days,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.
“I asked as well, and it seems that people from Azure Mountain have finally acted,” Hai Luo said.
“When I came, I noticed there were some people in other parts of the fifth floor,” Jiang Hao said.
There were quite a few people on this floor.
“These bunch of useless losers don’t even have a separate cell. Do they deserve to be this close to us?” Hai Luo sneered. “I can relax here for a few years, but what about them? They’ll go down in a few days. To have such trash on the same floor as a king is a disgrace and a great insult.”
Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to his words. It had been a long time since he heard any news about the Heavenly King’s lover.
He should inquire next time.
In case the other person asks, at least he would have something to say.
Zhuang Yuzhen hadn’t asked about Qu Zhong lately either.
After Qu Zhong escaped last time, there had been no news at all. He didn’t know if he had returned to the northern region.
And that Corpse Heart was still with him.
“Have you been under attack?” Zhuang Yuzhen suddenly asked.
“You know about it, Senior?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
“A lot of people came here, so I know some things. Is everything fine now?” Zhuang Yuzhen smiled. “It seems that your Acting Sect Master also has her own agenda. She seems to want to capture people from Azure Mountain. She even offered a lot of benefits to other sects, which is why this matter was resolved so quickly.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
The appearance of the Blood Wish Path wasn’t closely related to the Heavenly Note Sect, but these people used it as an excuse to gain some benefits from this situation.
They had previously come to the mine once and wanted to obtain some treasures.
So, they used this opportunity to launch an attack.
And as for Azure Mountain…
Jiang Hao couldn’t quite understand it. Wasn’t this just inviting trouble upon oneself?
Another three days passed.
The Heavenly Note Sect negotiated with various sects, and it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker this time.
After the Heavenly Note Sect handed over some resources, the matter came to an end.
No matter how you looked at it, the Heavenly Note Sect was the one that suffered the most in this situation.
Fortunately, they were able to settle everything, and Jiang Hao felt relieved.
Forcing a direct confrontation was not beneficial to anyone, and the Heavenly Note Sect could wait and bide their time.
They only lacked foundation.
After the Heavenly Note Sect handed over the resources, the immortal sects retreated.
Azure Mountain also gained something, but their numbers had diminished significantly.
Jiang Hao didn’t know whether they had lost or won. Perhaps they thought they had won.
With the matter settled, Jiang Hao gave the Spirit Herb Garden a three-day break. During this time, only some disciples from the outer sect were tending to it.
These days, almost everyone was sleepless and exhausted. If they continued like this, some people wouldn’t be able to hold out longer.
However, these people seemed to still remember the Blood Wish Path.
“I heard that the immortal disciple needs some fresh blood for cultivation, and willingly giving our blood is the best.”
“Do we also need to give blood?”
“The immortal disciple hasn’t asked me. If he did, I would definitely be willing. You haven’t been to other Spirit Herb Gardens. You don’t understand how lucky we are to be here.”
“Is it really that great?”
“I really envy you. You haven’t experienced the terrible days, by the looks of it.”
Jiang Hao didn’t pay attention to them. He didn’t need the blood of these people, and he didn’t care whether they considered him good or evil. However, after this ordeal, the Heavenly Note Sect could finally relax. ‘I wonder when the next gathering will be.’
Several months had passed, and he needed to prevent Gui from coming to the Heavenly Note Sect.
Otherwise, it would invite trouble..
