Looking at the three people who were still kneeling, Jiang Hao frowned slightly.
These three were injured. It would affect the work in the garden.
It was his first time seeing ordinary people being targeted like this. What was so interesting for a Golden Core Realm senior to bully someone weak?
Jiang Hao didnt understand it.
It seemed like many people behaved this way. Perhaps ordinary people were an outlet for their frustration.
If a fellow disciple was accidentally killed within the sect, it would be a huge problem.
But these ordinary people were not under the protection of the sect.
What has made you angry, Senior? Jiang Hao asked.
You dont know? Go find out first, and then come and tell me after you know, said the senior.
Jiang Hao frowned.
Senior Brother Zong Liucheng says that the direction of growth of his Hundred Leaves Flower is wrong. This flower has two growth possibilities: one is that it bears fruit, and the other is for the flower to bloom with a hundred petals. This flower has chosen to bear fruit, but Senior Brother Zong said he wanted a hundred petals.
Thats right. Zong Liucheng pretended to be angry. What explanation do you intend to give me for this, Junior Brother?
Perhaps I could compensate you? Jiang Hao said.
Sure, but this flower is extremely important to me. I nurture it like a child. Now that my child is growing incorrectly, it pains my heart, Zong Liucheng said. Junior Brother, how much compensation do you think is appropriate? How much do you want for it, Senior? Jiang Hao remained calm.
This amount. Zong Liucheng held out three fingers.
Three thousand? Jiang Hao asked.
The flower was worth about five hundred spirit stones, so it couldnt be three hundred.
No, no, Zong Liucheng said. Thirty thousand. Thirty thousand?! Cheng Chou exclaimed.
How could that be?
Jiang Hao knew that Zong Liucheng was doing this on purpose.
He couldnt even come up with thirty thousand spirit stones in the Soul Ascension Realm, let alone the Golden Core Realm.
Too expensive? Then what compensation would you offer, Junior Brother? Zong Liucheng sneered.
When you entrusted the spirit herb, you didnt specify the type of growth you wanted, Senior Brother. Jiang Hao looked at the record.
Is a reminder needed for this? Everyone knows that I wanted a Hundred Petals Flower. Dont you take care of that while collecting the seeds? Zong Liucheng asked.
But when I took the seed and asked the senior who took it from you, he said you were okay with it bearing fruit, Senior Brother, said Cheng Chou.
If he said yes, does that make it okay? If I say youre a traitor, would that make you a traitor? Zong Liucheng looked at Jiang Hao and Cheng Chou. There are so many Spirit Herb Gardens in this sect, and people there are very professional and courteous. I chose to help you, and this is what I get. Is this the result of me trusting you?
Cheng Chou was anxious. But
But what? Zong Liucheng asked. Did I force you to accept it? Werent you willing to take on the herb? Now that theres a problem, you want to blame it on me. I havent encountered this kind of problem in other Spirit Herb Gardens.
Why do I have to face the problem only here?
Jiang Hao lowered his head and remained silent.
Cheng Chou opened his mouth but couldnt say anything.
He didnt even know how to refute it.
Some people around them looked at them but dared not approach them. They were afraid of being roped in.
The three individuals who were kneeling earlier also dared not make any movements. They didnt want to offend the angry senior.
I can offer two solutions, Jiang Hao said. Do you want to hear them, Senior
Brother?
Zong Liucheng sneered. Tell me.
The first one is that we can offer you the amount of the flower and an extra five spirit stones. Five hundred and five spirit stones. It will be enough for you to buy a new one, Jiang Hao said.
Upon hearing this, Zong Liucheng laughed mockingly. Tell me about the second one.
The second one is that you didnt specify the type of growth while giving us the flower, so the consequences are your own fault, and we are not responsible for it, said Jiang Hao.
Hahaha! Zong Liucheng burst out into laughter. He then looked at Jiang Hao coldly. What if I dont agree?
Senior Brother, you will agree, said Jiang Hao in a voice devoid of emotions.
Hahaha! Youre making me laugh. Then, tell me how I should agree? Zong Liucheng laughed heartily.
Jiang Hao took a step forward, and the aura of the early stage of the Golden
Core Realm began to surge.
Zong Liucheng was furious.
You dare to attack me, you fool! he said.
He took a step forward, and the power of the early stage of the Golden Core Realm erupted.
The three ordinary people and Cheng Chou were blown away by the impact. A punch was thrown. The fist weighed a thousand pounds and carried a mighty force.
Boom!
The fist swung toward Jiang Haos face, but a long blade blocked it.
However, Jiang Hao took a step forward, evading the attack by tilting his head, and then punched him in the stomach.
Zong Liucheng felt the pain. His body was sent flying backward.
However, it didnt have much impact on him.
The power in his fist condensed.
It was the Mang Mountain Technique!
His fist descended like a mountain.
Clang!
The half-moon emerged from its sheath. Jiang Hao used the Demonic Sound Slash.
There was a boom.
The blade clashed with the fist.
In Zong Liuchengs eyes, Jiang Hao was just a sc.u.m who was willing to cultivate the Blood Wish Path to enter the Golden Core Realm. He couldnt possibly withstand his Mang Mountain Technique.
However, when his fist met the blade, a sharp pain shot through his hand.
His antic.i.p.ated Mang Mountain attack was shattered by a single strike of the blade.
Intense pain surged from his hand.
Pfft!
The blade swept across from his wrist and slashed into his chest.
Fresh blood spewed on the ground.
The intense pain made him lose his mind.
He clasped his hands and channeled his power. His anger and humiliation transformed into the strongest force and struck down.
It had the force of a mountain.
Jiang Hao raised his Half-Moon Blood once again.
He slashed down with the force of thunder.
He used the Thousand Demonic Tones.
The blades impact collided with the mountains force.
There was a resounding boom!
The demonic sound crushed the mountains force and broke its power.
The Half-Moon Blade was unstoppable. It kept slas.h.i.+ng down.
Bam!
This strike landed on Zong Liuchengs shoulder.
Crack!
There was a sound of bones cracking.
Ahhh!
The intense pain made him shout, but the immense strength continued to suppress him as if trying to crush his life force.
With a thud, he fell on his knees. The blade rested on his shoulder.
The tremendous impact made his knees crack.
Death made him frightened. He dared not resist the attack.
At this moment, he knelt in front of Jiang Hao, and the Half-Moon Blade didnt sever his shoulder.
Jiang Hao had used the blunt side of the blade.
Zong Liucheng was filled with fear and shock. A calm voice sounded in his ears. Senior Brother, do you think the first option is better or the second?
He looked up at the person he had underestimated. Jiang Haos cold and indifferent face terrified him.
It looked as though this person didnt care about life or death.
An inexplicable fear made him speak falteringly. The the second option.
It seems you are much easier to talk to than I imagined, Senior Brother, said Jiang Hao and retrieved his blade.
How How are you so strong? Zong Liucheng couldnt understand it. How could a cultivator using the Blood Wish Path become this powerful?
Jiang Hao lowered his head and remained silent.
He didnt plan to explain anything.
I have always been this strong. Its just that you dont see it. After that, he let Cheng Chou handle the matter with Zong Liucheng..
