Before Jiang Hao could say anything, Zuo Ming continued, “My life is worthless, but yours is more important. You are the strongest among your peers and will be the future top disciple. But can you complete this mission without us?”

“Then, you won’t help me?” Jiang Hao asked softly.

“Beg me first, then I’ll consider,” said Zuo Ming smugly.

“What about you? Will you help complete the mission?” asked Jiang Hao and turned to Gudu Jinxin.

“Beg me for help,” Gudu Jinxin said.

Jiang Hao looked at Zuo Ming again. He unsheathed his Half-Moon Blade and placed it at Zuo Ming’s neck.

Then, he pressed it down. Blood began to flow.

“I don’t think you have the guts to kill me,” said Zuo Ming.

The blade cut deep, and blood flowed.

Zuo Ming cried out in pain. He still did not believe that Jiang Hao would kill him.

However, he was bleeding profusely, and it was making him feel weak. He was afraid.

“I’ll help! I’ll help you!” he exclaimed weakly.

“Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Disciple Zuo,” said Jiang Hao calmly.

“First… first, please help me heal,” he said.

Before he could finish his sentence, the blade flashed.

Zuo Min’s vision blurred. Soon, his head was severed from his neck.

It was unbelievable. He did not get long to regret his decisions as he dropped dead.

When Gudu Jinxin saw that her senior was dead, she trembled in fear. She was ready to do anything.

“Please… I’ll agree to all your demands. Please spare my life,” she said pleadingly.

“I forgot to tell your Senior Brother something before he died. Make sure you’re less devious and more cooperative in your next life,” said Jiang Hao as his blade flashed.

She only saw the flash of the blade as she dropped dead the next moment.

After that, Jiang Hao picked up their storage treasures and walked toward Li Ertao, who was still healing. He handed the storage treasures to him. “They wanted to apologize to you and have left this as compensation for treating you that way. I hope you can forgive them.”

“That’s alright. I don’t blame them. You can give that back to them,” said Li Ertao.

Jiang Hao didn’t take the storage treasures back. “They left.”

Li Ertao was far away to see what had happened to Zuo Ming and Gudu Jinxin.

He was just glad that the misunderstanding had been resolved.

Jiang Hao did not say anything.

Some things would get worse if they were not handled as soon as possible.

He had thought that these people were just trying to take the lead. He had not expected them to be so brutal. They had no intention of completing the mission at all.

If they were the disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect, it would not be like this.

It seemed that he could not use his usual method of dealing with difficult people.

“Junior Brother Jiang, do you have a plan?” Zheng Shijiu asked worriedly.

“We rest today. Then, we go in tomorrow morning,” said Jiang Hao.

Zheng Shijiu nodded.

He did not think too much about it.

Based on what he knew about Jiang Hao, he would not take unnecessary risks.

The others did not dare to say anything.

The candidate for the seat of the top disciples was indeed something else. Those who were in the same rank were of no match at all.

Early the next morning, in the Astronomical Academy, Yan Yuezhi looked at the sky as she walked to the backyard of the academy.

However, just as he was about to step into the backyard, the threshold seemed to move backward.

She tried to step ahead but could not.

It seemed she was not allowed to enter.

Yan Yuezhi was speechless.
