Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

987  The Dragon Clan Has Rusty Magical Treasures

In the White Moon Lake of the Heavenly Note Sect, Yinsha walked to the lakeside and saw Elder Baizhi standing on the small island in the middle of the lake.

She took a step and appeared on the pavilion on the small island.

Baizhi sat down in the pavilion and sighed as she looked at the lake.

"The woman we brought back doesn't speak. No matter what method we use, it's useless. We also suspect that Feng Hua has something to do with the disappearance of Yan Shang from the Sunset Immortal Sect," Yinsha said.

"Did you get anything from the lantern bearer?" Baizhi asked.

"I've obtained some information, but I still can't pinpoint Feng Hua's location. She has too many clones. She was injured by her Sect Master before, and now she is even more unwilling to appear. Even her avatar doesn't know where she is. I used the Heavenly Essence Soul Modelling Mirror several times, but I still can't find the main body, unless…" Yinsha didn't continue.

It was not necessary to resort to drastic measures. The person was not that important.

Baizhi lowered her head and said, "Try to make that woman speak. Find Yan Shang and then send your men undercover into the Sunset Immortal Sect."

"We've already done that and are currently investigating all information regarding Yan Shang. They are being very discreet, so they don't fall into the trap set by Feng Hua. That doesn't entirely rule out the possibility of being discovered, but we can only try our best to hide," said Yinsha.

"The people who went to the West haven't returned yet?" Baizhi asked.

"It might take another two years," Yinsha said.

She didn't care about the people in the West. What she needed to know was when Jiang Hao would return.

Fortunately, it was not urgent.

"After a while, it will be time to select the top disciples. You need to work with the Law Enforcement Hall to help the sect. I guarantee that the process will be a smooth one." Baizhi looked at Yinsha seriously.

Yinsha nodded.

Baizhi frowned after Yinsha left.

For some reason, she had been feeling very uneasy lately.

It was impossible for such a thing to happen. Something must be affecting her.

...

In the Dragon Cave, Jiang Hao led the others out of the alchemy room.

He saw the grassland and the blue sky again.

He knew that this was the outside of the Dragon Cave.

It made sense that the Great Thousand God Sect had struggled to enter the third room.

"Senior, do you know how to leave the Dragon Cave?" asked the young man.

"Do you?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I… I know." The young man took out an array formation.

He set it up.

"Senior, if you can activate the formation, you should be able to head to the place where you came from."

Jiang Hao immediately activated the array.

Then, he disappeared from the spot along with Hong Yuye.

The young man was surprised. He did not expect the other party to leave just like that.

He didn't hesitate and left.

However, the Great Thousand God Sect was in a mess.

It was all because of Smiling San Sheng. He could come and go as he pleased.

He could even go to important places at will.

If they let down their guard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They could not find him.

That made them even more concerned. They mobilized even more people.

In the crack, Jiang Hao's primordial spirit appeared around him. He only opened his eyes after everything calmed down.

The first thing he did was to check if there was any problem with his body.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he looked around and found that it was indeed the crack in the space that they had entered before.

There were no problems in the surroundings.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

Hong Yuye, who was in front of him, also opened her eyes.

Jiang Hao brewed some tea and handed it to her.

"Did you want to enter the Dragon Clan's collection, Senior?" he asked.

"You wanted things from there?" Hong Yuye raised her teacup.

"I'm just curious about what's inside," Jiang Hao said.

"Nothing much. Just spirit stones in piles as tall as mountains and some rusty treasures. There are no special treasures, though."

Jiang Hao stood rooted to the spot.

"What's wrong?" Hong Yuye asked with a smile.

"Nothing," said Jiang Hao and sighed. "It's a pity, though…"

"Is it?" Hong Yuye put down her teacup. "Do you like treasures that are rusty that much?"

He had bought a lot of rusty magical equipment in the West.

"Senior, you must be joking. Those things are usually cheap. I thought I could sell them for a higher price after wiping them clean," said Jiang Hao.

Hong Yuye chuckled.

Then, she asked Jiang Hao how they were going to leave this place.

"It's better to go out quietly," he said after thinking for a moment.

He did not want anyone to know that he had left.

That young man from before knew, but it didn't matter.

No one would believe him anyway.

If they did not believe him, the pressure on the Great Thousand God would be immense. They would be stressed and fearful.

"Senior, can we go now?" Jiang Hao stretched out his hand.

She stood up and took his hand. They disappeared from the spot.

Seven days later, on the shore of Colored Glass Island, there was a huge ship docked.

Two figures stood on the deck. They looked at the setting sun in the distance and felt rather sentimental.

"Didn't you ask someone to go in and look for it? Any clues?" asked the pale-faced woman.

She was breathing weakly as if she did not have much time left.

"No news yet," Situ Wudao said.

He had some news, but he did not want to tell her. Out of the three people he had sent in, one had come out already. But he had disappeared. Situ Wudao did not know where he went.

The other one was dead.

Only Smiling San Sheng was left. He didn't think Smiling San Sheng would keep his word.

His mission had failed.

However, he could not tell her that.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't get it. It's alright," said the sickly, pale woman.

Situ Wudao nodded but did not say anything.

They sat down on the deck and watched the sunset. After that, they watched the stars. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Late at night, the woman fell asleep on Situ Wudao's shoulders.

Looking at the woman beside him, Situ Wudao felt a little helpless.

He sighed and closed his eyes.

He thought he saw a white figure walking toward him. He put something down in front of him and then turned around to leave.

Suddenly, Situ Wudao was awake.

Who was it?

His power covered the surroundings, and he was vigilant of everything. But still, he had not noticed anything.

When he lowered his head and looked at the plank in front of him, he was stunned. There was a transparent pill bottle there. The red and white patterned pill was very noticeable.

It was the Scarlet Feather Divine Pill!

Situ Wudao, who checked the divine pill, was stunned.

So, it wasn't an illusion. It was really Smiling San Sheng.

Had he left the Scarlet Feather Divine Pill here? How was that possible?

As far as he knew, Smiling San Sheng was not a man of his word.

He was supposed to be the least trustworthy person. But he was the only one who had kept his word.

Was that person really Smiling San Sheng?

He put away the pill and did not use it immediately.

Early the next morning, when the sun rose, he looked into the distance and saw someone walking in the air.

It was an old man with an extremely high cultivation realm.

"Elder Wu?" After Situ Wudao sent the woman to rest inside, he came out to welcome his guest.

When Elder Wu saw the woman, he sighed. "Any news?"

Situ Wudao shook his head. The defeat in his eyes was obvious.

"Do you know Smiling San Sheng? I heard that you gave a Dragon Scale to him. Could you find him with it? Perhaps you can get the pill you want," Elder Wu said.

"What do I have to do?" Situ Wudao became spirited when he heard that. Then, he sighed. "There's no other way unless the True Dragon makes a move."

"Do you have any news about Smiling San Sheng?"

"No, I don't think he will come looking for me. Do you have any news, Senior?"

"Not much. We only know that he appeared in the alchemy room and took just one pill."

"A pill? Do you know what kind of pill it was?"

"I don't know."

Situ Wudao looked a little depressed, but he was shocked.

It was really Smiling San Sheng who had left him the pill.

He had been discovered taking only one pill, and it was for him.
