Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning

Chapter 271: Dare to Confront Directly

‘Finally, he’s here.’

Jiang Hao had a feeling that the efficiency of the people from the Enforcement Peak had declined.

Otherwise, why would it take three days for them to come?

“Junior Brother, we meet again. This time I’ve come for official business.”

Liu Xingchen seemed to have been waiting for a long time in front of the courtyard gate.

“What is it?” Jiang Hao pretended to be puzzled.

However, Liu Xingchen was now covered with a strong aura of blood qi.

It was much denser than before.

It seemed that the Blood Demon was about to complete its final possession.

That is to say, Liu Xingchen would soon advance to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.

For a moment, Jiang Hao felt a sense of urgency.

The feeling of being caught up in cultivation was not pleasant, but fortunately, in a little over a month, he would be able to advance to the late stage.

He should still be able to maintain a distance.

“Junior Brother doesn’t know?” Liu Xingchen thought for a moment and then realized.

“Right, the news hasn’t spread widely, and most people are unaware. After all, it’s not a good thing.”

“What is it?” Jiang Hao appeared quite curious.

“Have you had contact with the disciples of the Corpse God Sect?” Liu Xingchen asked.

“I have,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“How did it feel?” Liu Xingchen asked again.

“It felt like a major sect,” Jiang Hao said diplomatically.

Hearing this, Liu Xingchen smiled.

“So they looked down on Junior Brother?”

Jiang Hao nodded slightly without speaking.

“Which one was it, do you remember?” Liu Xingchen continued.

“It should be Senior Fang Jin.”

Hearing this, Liu Xingchen smiled.

“That’s the reason I came to see Junior Brother. Fang Jin was killed on the night he met with Junior Brother.”

“Killed?”

Jiang Hao was shocked, showing just the right amount of surprise.

“Shall we talk inside?” Liu Xingchen gestured towards the courtyard.

It was then that Jiang Hao realized, and with an apologetic tone, he said,

“Please come inside, Senior Brother.”

Liu Xingchen walked in, quite surprised.

“Junior Brother really likes to plant some unique things. It seems there are even more now.”

“Senior Brother is joking,” Jiang Hao was not worried.

The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower was already known to the other party, and the rest were not significant.

The two sat at a wooden table, and Jiang Hao even brewed some tea.

“Did Junior Brother remember of the Enforcement Peak’s anger a few days ago?” Liu Xingchen asked while sipping his tea.

“Is that the reason?” Jiang Hao countered.

He indeed thought so; could there be other hidden reasons?

He hadn’t heard any news recently.

“Not entirely,” Liu Xingchen said with interest.

“It’s said that at that time, many from the Corpse God Sect were disrespectful to the various branches. And then...”

Liu Xingchen paused, and under Jiang Hao’s curious gaze, he continued.

“Thirty-two disciples from the Corpse God Sect came this time, and ten were killed overnight, including Fang Jin.”

Jiang Hao was stunned.

He had not expected this at all.

It turned out that he was not the only one who had acted; he had worried for so long.

He thought that by killing one person, he had angered the Enforcement Peak.

But weren’t the others afraid of being investigated?

“Did they find out who did it?” Jiang Hao asked.

The Corpse God Sect was a real major sect in the north; those people were truly bold.

For a moment, Jiang Hao remembered that the Tianyin Sect was a Demon Sect.

When they were poor, they would do anything.

“The first one they suspected was Man Long,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.

“But Man Long said he was seriously injured in the challenge match and couldn’t possibly have acted, which is well-known. Moreover, his Master checked and confirmed he was indeed seriously injured.”

His master checked...

“And then?” Jiang Hao asked again.

“Our sect relies on evidence, and although Man Long is no longer one of the chief disciples, he is still a true disciple of Hengliu Waterfall with great achievements. Of course, he cannot be arrested arbitrarily.” Liu Xingchen continued:

“The second suspect was Senior Sister Ye Yaqing from the Hundred Bones Forest. She ranks fifth among the head disciples, but she said she was always taking care of an injured Junior Brother.”

“Senior Brother Bai Ye and Junior Sister Lian Qin can both testify. And Senior Sister Ye Yaqing is also of the chief; she can’t be apprehended without solid evidence. The methods of others are more covert; it’s been three days and nothing has been found.”

Jiang Hao: “...”

He was stunned; this was completely beyond his expectations.

Aren’t these people afraid of offending the Corpse God Sect?

It’s unlikely; they must have been instructed to do so.

There must be both overt and covert actions.

“Didn’t you use a magical treasure to investigate?” he tried to ask.

“Magical treasure?” Liu Xingchen chuckled.

“The dead aren’t from our sect, so why would we use a magical treasure?”

Jiang Hao realized that within their own sect, everyone was cautious about killing.

Because hardly anyone could escape the scrutiny of the Hall of Enforcement, not even the chief.

But when it comes to killing people from other sects, there are no such restrictions.

However, such actions would definitely offend the Corpse God Sect.

Going to the north would be a death sentence.

In the future, once they are free, they might even come to crush the Tianyin Sect.

But that’s all in the future; the priority now is to suppress them.

Even if they are strong in the north, that’s only in the north.

Their influence hasn’t extended to the south.

Whoever is more arrogant now will have the upper hand in future collaborations.

Having roughly guessed this, Jiang Hao didn’t care anymore.

There should be no problem with him taking action himself. He might not even have to compensate with a single spirit stone.

“I came to find Junior Brother because you had contact with Fang Jin, so I wanted to ask. Where were you that night?” Liu Xingchen asked.

“I was in my room making talismans,” Jiang Hao replied.

“If that’s the case, then Junior Brother has nothing to worry about,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.

Jiang Hao fully understood now; the fury of the Hall of Enforcement was just for show. And the fact that they took so long to come to him was simply because they weren’t focused on investigating.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Hall of Enforcement, the culprit would have been found in a day.

Jiang Hao was curious, though. Did they take the storage magical treasures of those people?

He didn’t dare to ask this but instead asked something else.

“Will the people from the Corpse God Sect really let this go?”

Liu Xingchen shook his head: “Who knows?”

......

Tianyin Sect, guest resting area.

Here, there are many courtyards filled with abundant spiritual energy. In the most concentrated of these courtyards, two middle-aged men and a beautiful woman sat in high seats, with about twenty disciples standing beside them.

Gu Cheng was among them, but the arrogance in his eyes was gone.

Clang!

A tea cup was slammed heavily onto the ground by a middle-aged man, his tone extremely angry.

He was the leader of this trip, Daoist Han Yu, a high-status elder of the Corpse God Sect, with strength comparable to Zhuang Yuzhen.

“Evidence, evidence, how can they, a Demon Sect, have more rules than a righteous sect? What evidence? It’s a joke. It’s simply a cover-up, saying they will investigate thoroughly, but after so many days, we haven’t seen any investigation.”

At this moment, another middle-aged man with some white at his temples frowned.

“I’ve said it before, we should be humble here. Not only do you underestimate them, but you even teach them how to do things. Do you think this is your own sect? Haven’t you realized? They have no intention of investigating. Do you really think this place is a righteous sect that will care about reputation and give us an answer?”

“What does Senior Brother plan to do?” the beautiful woman asked.

“Give them three more days. They must give us an answer in the end, otherwise where is the dignity of our Corpse God Sect? Be prepared,” Daoist Han Yu said coldly.

“They only dare to ambush. Otherwise, how could they be our opponents? A bunch of country bumpkins,” said a young man with cultivation far surpassing the Nascent Soul stage, who was standing below.

He didn’t just say this here.

He even issued a challenge outside, daring anyone to face him head-on.

......

The next morning, his body was found in a river.

At that moment, Daoist Han Yu’s aura instantly spread, filled with extreme anger.

It was as if he was ready to have a showdown with the Tianyin Sect at any cost.
