Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 263 - The Female Demon’s Expression Is Not Too Good

Chapter 263: The Female Demon’s Expression Is Not Too Good

Mid-June. Baihua Lake.

A graceful figure sat elegantly by the stone table in the pavilion.

She gazed at the surrounding flowers, lost in thought.

A light rain began to fall from the sky, and the flowers gently swayed as if welcoming the drizzle.

At this moment, a white figure slowly descended beside the pavilion.

“Sect Master.” Bai Zhi said respectfully.

“Speak.” Hong Yuye did not turn around, her gaze fixed on something outside.

It was unclear what she was looking at.

“People from the Corpse God Sect have come to Youyun Prefecture, and they’ve made contact with us,” Bai Zhi reported.

“Are they here to save someone?” Hong Yuye casually asked as she picked up her teacup.

“Not exactly, they claim they’ve come for the Corpse Realm Flower,” Bai Zhi didn’t pause for long, quickly continuing.

“They say that when the Corpse Realm Flower opens, roughly forty-eight people can enter. They want to claim twenty-four spots. As for the price, they told us to name it. And they made it clear that they will not be our enemies nor will they take the Corpse Realm Flower. Also, regarding Zhuang Yuzhen’s mistake, they are willing to take some responsibility. As for releasing him, it all depends on our wishes.”

“How credible is this?” Hong Yuye asked after sipping her tea.

“Very credible, but we must be cautious. Their sect is far stronger than ours, and although they didn’t send many people, a battle would surely result in mutual destruction. Before coming here, they visited the nearby Xuantian Sect, Luoxia Sect, Fenglei Sect, and the closest, Tianqing Mountain. They didn’t visit a single Demon Sect.”

Bai Zhi hesitated, then continued, “There’s a possibility they want to ally with the locals to deal us a fatal blow. Or use this as a threat to force us to agree to their terms.”

With a major sect like the Corpse God Sect taking the lead, it’s hard to say whether others would be tempted.

After all, they’ve all suffered defeats at the hands of the Tianyin Sect.

Especially Tianqing Mountain, which almost faced annihilation.

However, sects like Xuantian Sect have their own affairs and can’t spare much strength.

Otherwise, they would have joined forces and attacked us already.

If they united against Tianyin Sect, we would hardly be able to resist, which is why some people wanted to push Jiang Hao out earlier.

Ending the conflict sooner would mean no problems for a while.

“Since the Corpse God Sect wants to come, let them come. Keep an eye on them, and if there’s any movement, detain them all,” Hong Yuye said indifferently.

“Yes,” Bai Zhi replied excitedly.

She felt that as long as the Sect Master sat there, the Tianyin Sect would never fall.

This was also why she feared the Sect Master.

No matter what, the Sect Master could use anything as bait.

Fearless of all dangers.

“Anything else?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Zhuang Yuzhen has been acting like a madman recently; he must have been compromised by Jiang Hao. It could be someone behind Jiang Hao helping him. Using Jiang Hao as an excuse to meet Zhuang Yuzhen might make him reveal some things. But to know the real information, we still need Jiang Hao to inquire.”

“However, he hasn’t gone for so long, I suspect he dares not go again. His leverage might not last. So Jiang Hao can only keep him hanging. Recently, he’s had some dealings with a Divine Corpse. I suspect it’s this Divine Corpse who approached Jiang Hao for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, which could be a breakthrough. The Divine Corpse has been killed, and the Hall of Enforcement is pursuing its main body, but it’s proving difficult.”

“Also, Jiang Hao has recently clashed with a highly talented disciple, and his strength doesn’t seem artificially enhanced. With his talent and abilities, it’s indeed possible that he’s being cultivated by someone else. For now, there’s no trace of the person behind him. We can only wait for anomalies to appear before continuing the investigation.”

Bai Zhi didn’t investigate too deeply; there was no need to watch so closely.

The other party was cultivating the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, so it was enough to monitor his surroundings.

After all, the initial goal was to lure out some traitors from the vicinity.

“We have found that Tianqing Mountain had contact with people from overseas, but the distance is too great, and it will take some time to get clear information,” Bai Zhi continued reporting:

“Based on recent information, a group of people has entered the south, possibly for the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead. This means that the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead is likely no longer in the Demon Cavern.”

The Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead is a fierce object suppressed within the Demon Cavern.

Few knew of this, but they were aware that if the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead left that place, the Tianyin Sect would be in danger.

Now that the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead might not be suppressed in the Demon Cavern, she was somewhat worried.

The last time the ruins appeared, an accident occurred.

“Let’s assume the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead is still in the Demon Cavern,” Hong Yuye said.

Let’s assume...

Bai Zhi instantly understood; everything was under the Sect Master’s control.

She would carry out her orders.

“Have the people from the Corpse God Sect bring the information on the Corpse Realm Flower, then send it down. Each branch can enter two people,” Hong Yuye instructed.

Bai Zhi nodded in agreement.

She had to carefully arrange everything.

......

Duanqing Cliff.

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao stopped the curse once again.

For half a year, he earned spirit stones for one month and cursed for another month.

Now, his body suffered numerous backlashes. If not for the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead suppressing them, the effects would have been significant.

He didn’t believe that Bai Ye would be unscathed.

The peaceful days also allowed him to accumulate a great deal of cultivation.

【Vital Energy: 83/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 82/100 (can be cultivated)】

In at most another three months, he could enter the late Nascent Soul stage.

During this period, everything was extremely calm.

Bai Ye was preoccupied with preparing for battle and didn’t bother him.

The Pavilion Master of Tianhuan Pavilion had withheld three years’ worth of resources from him, temporarily quieting down.

The people of Tianhuan Pavilion were probably waiting for an opportunity.

The members of Luoxia Sect couldn’t enter Tianyin Sect.

The people from Tiansheng Sect seemed to have evaporated.

Even Senior Sister Ming Yi had not been seen for a long time.

The only bit of trouble was from the outer sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Recently, Senior Sister Ning Xuan had come to him, asking him not to rank last.

This would require some thought.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of time.

This allowed him to focus all his efforts on dealing with Bai Ye.

“Next month is the day of the challenge. Then we’ll see the effect of the curse,” Jiang Hao sighed in relief.

It was time to continue accumulating spirit stones.

During this half-year, he had neither seen Senior Sister Leng Tian nor that Senior Brother who liked to use harsh words.

He could only sell his talismans sporadically.

If there was a big battle, he could sell them very quickly.

Because he wanted to know Bai Ye’s condition after the curse, he often went to find Liu Xingchen.

Unfortunately, Liu Xingchen was busy searching for remnant souls everywhere and had no chance to talk.

Considering Liu Xingchen’s previous ability to attract remnant souls, it wasn’t that the mines lacked them, but rather they dared not come.

True Dragons and Ancient Witches were calling for their comrades.

How could ordinary remnant souls dare to approach?

Only heavyweights had the right to cooperate; the weak were merely nourishment.

......

In the evening.

“Master, I’m going to find Lin Zhi. I feel like he has made great progress recently. When I hit him, he even dodges the vital points,” the rabbit said excitedly as it ran outside.

Lin Zhi and Chu Chuan were almost entirely raised by it.

Truly raised by its own hand.

When they arrived, they were both young.

Now, three years later, the one who had spent the most time with them was the rabbit.

After Jiang Hao agreed, he returned to the courtyard.

In a while, he would also check on their progress.

He also needed to be wary of the rabbit leading them astray.

As he walked into the courtyard, he saw a red figure.

The moment the figure looked over, Jiang Hao felt her brow furrow.

A dangerous aura approached.
