Chapter 909: Demoness: What Has He Done?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Hao sat under a tree and closed his eyes to rest.

He sensed someone approaching.

The person’s cultivation was extremely high and peculiar.

It was there and not there at the same time.

If it weren’t for a trip to the West and his skills from the nameless manual, he wouldn’t have been able to sense them.

Footsteps approached from afar steadily.

What surprised him was that the person didn’t intend to leave.

Usually, such a powerful person would have no reason to interact with them.

Jiang Hao felt the person approaching him.

At that moment, his power began to surge silently.

“Junior, are you awake?” asked a voice.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes.

He saw a man with a blindfold holding a lantern as he looked to the side.

It was the lantern-carrying disciple.

Jiang Hao pretended to be surprised. He then got up. “Senior, is there something you need?”

He noticed that everyone else had fallen asleep.

The other person waved his hand, and everyone fell asleep.

The lantern-carrying disciple stood still.

Those who were with him were nowhere to be seen.

“I have some questions for you, Junior,” said the person.

“Senior, please feel free to ask anything,” Jiang Hao said.

“Is it difficult to leave the sect?” asked the person.

“It’s difficult,” Jiang Hao said. “Nowadays, every part of the sect is patrolled by disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall. The situation outside is the same. It’s even more strict. To leave, even with a teleportation treasure, is quite challenging.”

“Who is the strongest in the sect?”

“That would be the Sect Master,” Jiang Hao said.

“Baizhi?”

“Yes. Elder Baizhi is the acting Sect Master.”

“Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“Senior, why would I be? We are all fellow disciples.”

“Fellow disciples?” The lantern-carrying disciple looked at Jiang Hao. “Which way is it to leave the sect?”

Jiang Hao pointed in a direction. “That way.”

The lantern-carrying disciple glanced in the direction he pointed. “So, that is the direction to leave the sect. But I’m not sure I can leave.”

Finally, he turned to Jiang Hao. “What’s your name, Junior?”

Jiang Hao immediately said, “Qiu Luo.”

Jiang Hao had seen that name before when he had appraised someone who targeted him before. Since he had not encountered them yet, he didn’t know the details. But he used that name to be safe.

The lantern-carrying disciple chuckled. “Take this as a gift.”

He handed Jiang Hao a small lantern.

It looked somewhat similar to the one he held.

Jiang Hao thanked him. “Thank you, Senior.”

“I’m leaving now,” said the lantern-carrying disciple as he turned and looked in the direction Jiang Hao had pointed earlier. “I just don’t know if I can get out.”

“Why are you in such a hurry, Senior?” Jiang Hao was quite curious.

“It’s something I have to face sooner or later.” The lantern-carrying disciple looked in the distance. “I came with a purpose, and I will naturally bear the consequences when I leave. Even if the consequences are severe, what can I do? The wind starts from the end of the green duckweed, the waves form between the ripples. Even if hope is faint and the road ahead is dark, I must carry my lantern and move forward.”

With that, the lantern-carrying disciple tightened his grip on the lantern and walked away.

At that moment, the abyss faintly appeared beneath him, and a pitch-black path extended in front of him.

The lantern-carrying disciple walked in the darkness, carried a lantern, and was ready to be swallowed by the darkness at any moment.

“Perhaps we will never meet again. But I know you are different from others. I like you.” The lantern-carrying disciple disappeared. His voice was clear in Jiang Hao’s ears. “If possible, I will give you a gift. You are my favorite person I’ve encountered in many years.”

Jiang Hao watched him leave. He shook his head and sighed.

The lantern-carrying disciple was a good person, but unfortunately, it was difficult to escape from the Heavenly Note Sect.

Sure enough, not long after, a great fight raged.

It was quickly suppressed.

Whether the lantern-carrying disciple died or was captured, Jiang Hao didn’t know.

In any case, he had no more connection with him.

After that, Jiang Hao did not encounter any more powerful individuals. But he dared not be careless.

At the Hundred Flowers Lake, Baizhi knelt on the ground and reported her findings.

At the same time, she mentioned the gains and losses.

The losses were immense, but they had gained information about Feng Hua.

At the same time, they found out more about the person from Azure Mountain.

Perhaps they could learn more. They could find out why the Heavenly Note Sect was targeted.

“Is there news from Feng Hua?” asked Hong Yuye.

“Yes.” Baizhi nodded. “He has many avatars. It is said that an important avatar is in the Sunset Immortal Sect. The identity is still unknown, but we have found traces of her main body. Recently, she seems to be urgently searching for a kind of medicine. This urgency may reveal something, not ruling out intentionally exposing himself. But it is also the closest time to her main body. Perhaps there will be news sometime later.”

Hong Yuye nodded.

Baizhi suddenly froze, and then a commotion outside caught her attention.

Baizhi immediately said, “The lantern-carrying disciple has been captured, but…”

“Speak.” Hong Yuye sipped her tea calmly.

“According to the information, the lantern-carrying disciple said that he came here because there was already a trap in place. He wants to know who did it,” she said. “That’s what he said anyway…”

“Who is he referring to?” Hong Yuye asked.

Baizhi lowered her head. “The disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall went to investigate. They found out it was Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao did confirm meeting the lantern-bearing person.”

“What do you think?” Hong Yuye asked with interest.

“It should be a coincidence, but… there is some suspicion. The disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall will likely ask, but regardless, capturing the lantern-carrying disciple was because of him. Among the people of the Great Thousand God Sect, the lantern-carrying disciple is the most powerful, so that would be a grand achievement,” Baizhi said helplessly. “Jiang Hao seems to deliberately make contributions and intentionally establish relationships with these people every time. It makes others suspicious. But it’s just that. Someone behind him is likely controlling him.”

Baizhi sneakily raised her head and glanced at the Sect Master. “Sect Master, how do you think it should be handled?”

Hong Yuye sipped her tea. “That is up to you.”

Baizhi nodded.

“Any discoveries on Jiang Hao’s side?” Hong Yuye asked as she put down her teacup.
