On the way back, Jiang Hao sighed with relief.

The sect’s siege had finally come to an end.

The impact had been significant, and it was a narrow escape.

It seemed that the sect had lost some people too.

Some disciples he occasionally encountered before seemed to have disappeared.

That’s how it was in this world. Slight carelessness could lead to complete disappearance.

Others might just think the person chose a different path.

Assuming that he had disappeared, others’ impression of him would probably be:

“Haven’t seen Jiang Hao from the Cliff of Broken Hearts for a long time. Maybe the Spirit Herb Garden has changed hands. Has he finally left that place?” “Don’t you know? In the last major battle of the sect, he died outside.”

It would probably go something like that.

Jiang Hao laughed at himself. He still wanted to live on.

Thus, he must be more careful than others, have a mindset far beyond others, and care about fewer things than others.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao looked at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. A few of its leaves swayed in the wind.

The peach tree had also grown quite tall. It was growing rapidly.

Although it was relatively peaceful now, it still left people feeling uneasy.

It would take a few more days to make sure there was no counterattack.

Seven days later, Jiang Hao encountered nothing, and the sect began to recuperate. Although some were still vigilant on all sides, there was nothing unusual.

The issue at the mining site was also being resolved.

Everything was returning to normal.

Standing in the courtyard, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

“It seems like it’s finally over.”

He didn’t know why, but he always felt that those people might launch a surprise attack. This way, they could take advantage of the temporary peace and break through the Heavenly Note Sect’s defense and breach it.

However, it seemed he was only overthinking.

Afterward, he went to the Spirit Herb Garden to continue tending to the herbs and collect bubbles.

[Strength +1]

[Spirit Sword +1]

[Spirit Spear +1]

Many bubbles came flying, and the notification messages kept appearing.

The green bubbles were always ordinary treasures, and they couldn’t be sold for many spirit stones.

Fortunately, they could be accumulated over time.

It was just not easy to sell here. He would have to wait to sell it on a trip somewhere.

There was no rush. Going out of the sect once every ten or twenty years was all acceptable.

By then, he would gain many spirit stones.

Jiang Hao watched everyone doing their tasks and joined them.

Things were peaceful now, but it wasn’t clear how long it would last.

They had to be mentally prepared to face any sudden events.

During this time, he could make talismans to earn spirit stones. The best time to make money was right before and after a big battle.

Previously, he had to take care of the Spirit Herb Garden and couldn’t make talismans to sell. But now, there was no problem.

After deducting the fifteen hundred spirit stones for the Task Hall, he realized he had over 13,500 left.

Somewhere in the Heavenly Note Sect, two young men walked side by side on a small path.

They looked like ordinary people and would blend well in a crowd. At that moment, they were like good friends who were talking and laughing.

“It’s indeed surprising. It ended so quickly. Baizhi is quite decisive. I thought she would resist to the death,” said the taller of the two men.

“Yeah. I thought we would at least provoke their legendary Sect Master. But unexpectedly, everything was resolved so quickly. Baizhi’s management led to significant losses by giving up the mining site. Do you think it was her decision or did she consult the Sect Master?” the shorter one asked with narrowed eyes.

“I heard she was heavily injured and had to go into seclusion. She couldn’t recover even in seclusion, so she had to announce that she would remain in seclusion.” The taller man looked at the short one beside him.

Their eyes met.

Both of them laughed.

After laughing for a while, the shorter one said, “The plan was only half executed. Although it failed, the Heavenly Note Sect is exceptionally weak now.

Even if we execute the second half, we can escape unscathed.”

“It’s hard to say. Our strength is not much either. Executing the second halt ot the plan is too dangerous. The Heavenly Note Sect’s rules are not to be taken lightly. I have been asking around to know more about them. They can hunt us for decades. Escaping won’t be easy. It will affect our future plans too much.” The taller one shook his head.

“I don’t think they’ll figure out it’s us. We can just arrange a couple of scapegoats. Are you still thinking about that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?”

“Aren’t you curious?” asked the taller one and smiled. “Everyone is saying he practices the Blood Wish Path, but when I looked from a distance, I didn’t see any traces of the Blood Wish Path on him.”

“What if it’s just a rumor?” the shorter one asked.

“But I smelled blood. Very faint, but it was definitely blood, and it wasn’t from him. That means he might have a Blood Wish Path treasure. How can he have such a treasure if he doesn’t practice the Blood Wish Path?” The taller one hesitated for a moment. “There’s something else that puzzles me. All the sects besieging the Heavenly Note Sect didn’t mention the core person of the Blood Wish Path. But why didn’t the Heavenly Note Sect mention it either? They could have brought it up to prevent the other side from retreating and delay them for a moment. However, they didn’t mention anything and just attacked.

Is this how a demonic sect acts?”

“Have you ever seen a demonic sect investigating and killing their own sect members so strictly?” the shorter man asked,

The taller person smiled. That did make sense.

“There is no need to rush. Let’s wait for another opportunity, at least till the moment they can’t trace us. In a few years, I’ll approach that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. Do you think he really has some hidden cultivation technique?”

“He probably does. If you can obtain a drop of his blood, we can determine his cultivation realm and technique.”

“We might have a chance to ambush him. But I still want to make contact first.

Even if he’s at the Golden Core Realm… No, even if he’s at the Primordial Spirit Realm, it wouldn’t matter.”

The two of them talked and laughed as they walked along the road.

After a while, they started talking about other things.

“By the way, there’s someone we need to be cautious of… Qian Chen from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion. It seems like he’s aware of us trailing him and is trying to find us. I suspect he’s behind the assassinations of Feng Jing and Huo Mo. He doesn’t want things to escalate for too long. Whenever someone acts like this, he takes matters into his own hands. That’s why Feng Jing and Huo MO are both dead.”

“Is he at the Soul Ascension Realm?”

“It seems like that, but he practices the Blood Wish Path. So, he might not be as simple as he seems.”

“When you say that, it feels like all these people are hiding their true cultivation realms.”

“Aren’t we doing the same?”

Both of them laughed again.

“Speaking of which, I encountered a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator at the White Moon Lake. His talent is extraordinary. After some time,

I’ll get in touch with him.”

“You go to White Moon Lake, and I’ll go to the Cliff of Broken Hearts.”

The next day, Jiang Hao finally received a message on the stone tablet.

The new gathering would be tonight.

Jiang Hao sighed in relief.

‘It’s finally here! This time, I need to prepare well.’

Apart from the news from overseas, it was also an excellent opportunity to prevent Gui from visiting the sect.

That can help avoid many problems.

‘I also need to find a way to help Liu. Only then can he go and seek out Chi Tian.’

His goal for revenge was fulfilled, so he might have been willing to help Jiang Hao at first.

However, as time went on, he might even think about how to kill him in order to be completely free.

In such matters, one should be prepared for the worst possible scenario..
