Chapter 1038: A Sect That Doesn’t Stop Doing Evil
This mission was important to him.
It was not because of the seat of the top disciples, but because of the possibility of being targeted by the Fallen Immortal Clan.
If he really entered the lake, he would undoubtedly be entering a trap.
The main problem was that he could not be sure if the Fallen Immortal Clan could lock onto him or confirm he had entered the lake.
If they just wanted to confirm, he would have enough time to find an escape route.
However, if they locked onto him with their power, it would be dangerous.
He had to be extremely careful.
If he felt that he was being spied on, he would just escape.
He had to leave before the other party discovered him.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Hao saw Zheng Shijiu.
“Senior Brother Zheng.”
“Junior Brother Jiang.”
Zheng Shijiu looked at Jiang Hao with a smile. “I heard that you made it to the competition. That is truly impressive!”
“I was just lucky,” Jiang Hao said politely.
“Is this mission special for you?” Zheng Shijiu asked.
Everyone in the sect knew about the mission that was prepared for candidates competing for the seat of top disciples.
Some teams had chosen outstanding disciples.
It was so that the mission was completed successfully.
“Yes. I hope there are no accidents,” said Jiang Hao.
Normally, he would only have one sect mission to complete in three years.
“It seems like the other candidates have also found worthy disciples for their teams…” Zheng Shijiu suddenly stopped.
Jiang Hao smiled. “Senior Brother Zheng, you can speak freely. It’s alright. We just do what we can and leave the rest to fate.”
Completing it was important to Jiang Hao because the danger brought on by the Fallen Immortal Clan was more important at the moment.
The imminent danger that came with the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl was the worst. He had no choice but to go and take a look.
Zheng Shijiu nodded but did not say anything.
After a while, the other three also arrived early before the appointed time they were supposed to meet up.
They knew that the current mission was prepared for the candidate competing for the top disciple’s seat, so they dared not be negligent.
Even then, they were the last to arrive.
“We’re late. We’re very sorry to have made you wait, Seniors,” said Liao Jin apologetically.
Soon, Jiang Hao got to know them.
He had met Liao Jin before. He was someone at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
Beside him was a woman in black. Her lips were painted red. It was Cheng Yuchen from Heavenly Joy Pavilion. She was in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.
The last was a brawny man at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. He was Lu Dong from the Flowing Waterfall.
Among the five people, three were at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, one was at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, and another one was at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. The people in his team were impressive.
They were all very talented. Even with very few opportunities, they would make it to the Primordial Spirit Realm in no time.
If everyone knew the danger they were facing, they would probably ask for more advanced cultivators.
“No problem. Let’s go,” Jiang Hao said.
The mission was for him because he was a candidate, so everyone addressed him as “Senior Brother.”
He had progressed much quicker than anyone else present.
After all, he was the strongest cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Realm who was present.
No one dared to address him as “Junior Brother.”
This was the effect his new status had on him. Although there might be some cons to it, he had no complaints at the moment.
As long as he continued to stay in the Spirit Herb Garden of the Cliff of Broken Hearts, no one would trouble him.
Since he had no intention of competing with others, no one would target him.
After a while, Jiang Hao arrived at the mountain gate.
It had been a long time since he had walked out of the Heavenly Note Sect so openly.
In the past, he had used all sorts of concealment techniques and talismans and left alone or with Hong Yuye. This time, he had no choice but to go out with a group of people.
He had entered the sect when he was five years old, and he had barely left the sect.
Jiang Hao sighed.
Then, he stepped forward.
He walked out under everyone’s gaze.
He wondered if he would get in trouble right away.
He wondered if the Sunset Immortal Sect had really let go of their resentment.
Even though Senior Sister Yun Ruo was dead, her influence had always driven people to target him. She was truly amazing in some ways.
It was no wonder so many people wanted to avenge her.
Jiang Hao could not understand them.
When he walked out of the sect, he felt like he was being spied on. It was someone in the Golden Core Realm. He could not recognize the aura.
He did not care about what the person wanted.
He could sense people in the shadows spying on him. He had no choice.
He had chosen to walk out of the sect, so he had to face anything that came after him.
If he was lucky, he could persuade the people to let go of their resentment and return to wherever they came from.
“Senior Brother Jiang, I heard that many people are going to the dark lake. Besides, the Divine Feather Sect is keeping an eye on it. They have condensed their Heavenly Eye to spy on everything in the darkness and find the source of all things,” Liao Jin said. “Although it sounds frightening, I heard they don’t completely know how to use the Heavenly Eye. The rumors might be a bit exaggerated.”
Jiang Hao nodded. The Divine Feather Sect sounded like an immortal sect from its name, but it was an out-and-out demonic sect.
Its reputation was much greater than the Heavenly Note Sect.
The Heavenly Note Sect had become slightly famous in recent years. In the past, they were far inferior to the Divine Feather Sect.
Wherever they went, there was a massacre.
It did not matter whether a sect was big or small. They had to endure whatever the Divine Feather Sect threw at them.
The Blackheaven Sect had fought with them too and lost.
That was how the Blackheaven Sect was tricked by the Heavenly Note Sect back then. The people who came to get their people were killed, but still, they were unable to attack.
The Heavenly Note Sect was a demonic sect, but it mostly kept to itself. It did not go around provoking its neighbors.
The Blackheaven Sect, the Sunset Immortal Sect, and other sects had many enemies. The Divine Feather Sect was one of them.
“There’ll be two Divine Feather Sect disciples joining the teams near the lake this time. We need them to lead the way.”
“Who are they?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Some people with difficult personalities,” Zheng Shijiu replied.
Jiang Hao nodded.
It meant they would not be easy to work with.
That was a little troublesome.
If there were people who tried to undermine and sabotage the mission, that would be troublesome for him.
They reached the Big Tree Peak.
There were already quite a few people gathered there.
The lake had more than doubled in size in less than a month.
If it continued to expand, the Heavenly Note Sect would be embroiled in it within a few months.
“Heavenly Note Sect?” A middle-aged man looked at Jiang Hao and his team.
This time, they were required to wear the sect’s uniform.
Therefore, the person could recognize them at a glance.
The middle-aged man was a senior of the Heavenly Gate Sect.
This exploration was led by the Heavenly Gate Sect. After all, they were the only major sect in the South.
However, they had arrived too early.
Jiang Hao sighed. “I’m Jiang Hao of the Heavenly Note Sect. Greetings, Senior.”
The others followed suit.
“So, your team is in the Golden Core Realm? Alright.” The middle-aged man nodded. “I’ll give you three people. I hope you can put aside your differences and work together. If you find anything strange, you can come to this area and inform us. The reward will be the resources awarded by various sects in agreement. Every sect will give you something.”
