Chapter 463: I Suspect Hes Waiting for an Opportunity to Advance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Listening to Cheng Chou, Jiang Hao felt that this matter was becoming more and more troublesome.
Simple rumors wouldnt affect him, but so many impostors had appeared, and it wasnt just one or two of them. Senior Sister Qin had seen it, and now, Cheng Chou too.
He was curious if it would end if someone was caught. Probably not, as they would need to catch the real culprits.
Senior Brother Jiang, the situation isnt looking good, Cheng Chou said.
Yes, I understand. Jiang Hao nodded and instructed Cheng Chou to focus on his tasks and not worry too much about this matter.
Cheng Chou couldnt say much more about it. He knew that Jiang Haos abilities and methods far exceeded his own understanding, so he just followed his orders.
After taking care of the Spirit Herb Garden for a while, Jiang Hao got up.
He looked around the entire garden but didnt see anyone suspicious.
In his opinion, this situation was likely orchestrated by someone, and they might still be watching the area. That person was the key to resolving the issue.
Waiting for the other party to show up wasnt impossible, but it would be hard to control the situation.
At night, within the disciples quarters of the Flowing Waterfall, two men in their mid-twenties with late Foundation Establishment Realm sat facing each other in the hall.
They looked delighted as if they had finally found hope in their cultivation paths.
Who would have thought that the Blood Wish Path could help us advance so quickly, said the man with a scar at the corner of his eye. He sounded excited as if it was the first time he had advanced in his cultivation realm in a long time.
Yes. The Blood Wish Path allows for such rapid progress, but I feel like more and more people are taking action now. Too many people are dying, said the frail-looking man in concern.
Dont worry. Its all thanks to the senior from the Cliff of Broken Hearts, anyway. Hes a senior in the Blood Wish Path. Dont be fooled by his late Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation. He might just be hiding his true strength. Theres a good chance hes already in the Golden Core Realm. Were advancing so quickly, so he shouldnt be slow either, the scarred man said.
What if he finds out were impersonating him? asked the frail man.
There are so many impersonators out there. Some willingly give us their names. So, if theyre looking for someone, theyll probably go for others first. Besides, within the sect, he wouldnt dare to mess with us, the scarred man said.
He understood the rules of the sect. If you played your cards right, it could be your protective umbrella.
Thats true. Once we reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment
Realm, we can exchange information on how to enter the Golden Core Realm. After that, we just need to consult some seniors, the frail man said in agreement.
Indeed, once we enter the Golden Core Realm, we wont have to worry about anything anymore. Speaking of which, why do I feel like the sky is darker today than before? the frail man said.
Is it? The scarred man was puzzled.
Without thinking too much, they continued discussing their future plans.
In a corner of the hall, a figure gradually appeared.
It seemed like he had just arrived, but it also felt like he had been there all along.
When the two men left, he walked out of the corner, exited the hall, and left the courtyard.
Under the moonlight, his figure became clearer.
It was Jiang Hao. He had been investigating the situation.
The commotion caused by the Blood Wish Path was becoming significant, and he couldnt ignore it anymore.
While he wasnt concerned about simple rumors, the appearance of impostors raised serious issues.
The person targeting him hadnt shown themselves yet, so he needed to find them and resolve the situation.
He had been watching two individuals, Huo Lai and Bao Cheng.
Cheng Chou had found out that they both cultivated the Blood Wish Path willingly.
So, he had come here to investigate.
His original intention was to ask them in person, so he pulled them into the Heavenly Cauldron.
But he found out that they were going to visit their seniors and decided not to show themselves.
He appraised one of them.
He confirmed that they were practicing the Blood Wish Path. It was similar to what he had discovered about Pei Yuan.
It appeared that they were also getting help from Yin Wei. Finding Yin Wei would likely yield valuable information.
As for Qian Chen, he couldnt investigate that yet.
The undercover agents hadnt sent him any information. He was only aware of three undercover agents who were also his acquaintances: Liu Xingchen, Senior Sister Ming Yi, and Senior Sister Hua Le.
Liu Xingchen was currently away and would take some time to return. Hua Le rarely had contact with him, and Senior Sister Ming Yi should have been sending him information, but he didnt know what she was doing now.
Jiang Hao returned to his house and began to study the fourth form of the Heavenly Blade.
He had to completely comprehend it before Chu Chuans return and make modifications to adapt it to the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he couldnt modify it, Chu Chuan wouldnt be able to learn it.
Every time Baizhi came to the Hundred Flowers Lake, she felt scared.
She couldnt even breathe freely.
And in the entire sect, apart from her, no one else was qualified to approach this place.
The Sect Master hadnt left here since emerging from seclusion.
She no longer concerned herself with sect matters. She was investigating something else.
It seemed that someone was targeting the Heavenly Note Sect, and there was a certain possibility that they might be from The End of All Things.
The Sect Masters plans surpa.s.sed her expectations.
Baizhi took a deep breath and approached the pavilion.
She saw the Sect Master sitting there, like a peerless beauty. She looked detached from worldly affairs.
She was afraid to stare at the Sect Master too closely.
He bowed respectfully. Sect Master After a short wait, Baizhi heard her speak.
Speak, said the Sect Master.
Lately, it seems that various major sects want to use the Blood Wish Path as a pretext to target us. There should be other motives behind it.
Hong Yuye looked at the teacup on the table. What motives?
Theres a good chance its related to the mines. They brought back some items before, and although they werent extraordinary treasures, they might be convinced that there are valuable treasures in the mine. However, considering the short time gap, they shouldnt have had a reason to act so soon. There might be other instigators, Baizhi said.
She didnt mention Jiang Hao being in the thick of it all because it wasnt a significant matter.
As long as he remained in the sect, regardless of what those other sects wanted, the Heavenly Note Sect wouldnt hand him over to them.
Last time, they nearly made a big mistake.
Now that they understood Jiang Haos value, those people wouldnt be able to take him unless they were willing to provoke the entire Heavenly Note Sect. They probably hoped for a conflict to achieve their goals.
Is there anything else? Hong Yuye asked. She seemed uninterested in these matters.
Jiang Hao has returned from outside, and so far, theres nothing particularly unusual about him. His cultivation realm is still at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. According to my speculation, he might be waiting for a good opportunity to advance to make it seem less conspicuous, Baizhi said carefully. This time, he should have received guidance from someone behind the scenes. However, he hasnt advanced yet, which suggests that the timing isnt right. He is still on the suspect list, but theres been no evidence of any betrayal toward the sect. The person behind him is extremely cautious, and we havent gained any information so far.
Continue the investigation, Hong Yuye said calmly.. What about the Sea Fog
Cave?
