Chapter 39: Facing the Golden Core
Night, Leihuo Peak.
Boom!
Spells manifested in the forest.
Jin Zhouheng rged into the darkness and quickly left, feeling sowhat resentful.
After three months at Tianyin Sect, he had finally figured out that person’s residence and even knew his strength.
Tonight was the perfect opportunity to act, but he was discovered by the Hall of Enforcent, who started a manhunt.
If it weren’t for the urgent warning he received, he might have already been severely injured and captured.
Facing soone like him, an undercover agent, Tianyin Sect would typically squeeze out all his value.
In the end, he would be thrown into the Lawless Tower, stripped of all his cultivation, and then die inside or in the mines.
He had long heard of the ways of the Demon Sect.
Death was not scary, but the scary part was not completing what he had set out to do.
“If only I hadn’t hesitated and struck the first ti I saw him.”
Jin Zhouheng regretted a bit, thinking he could have left the scene safely.
Who would have thought he would be discovered?
He had made sufficient preparations and was just a Qi Refining outer disciple. The likelihood of being targeted was almost zero.
Tianyin Sect wouldn’t keep screening continuously.
Yet, he was still exposed.
Who was behind it?
Boom!
Spells kept bombarding him.
He didn’t try to flee but instead wanted to find Jiang Hao, kill him first, and then think of other ways.
......
Deep into the night.
Jiang Hao’s brows were tightly furrowed.
Purple Qi churned ceaselessly in his body, and power surged through his ridians.
This power converged at the dantian, seemingly compressing against each other.
All the power compressing together could cause a qualitative change.
But after a long ti, the power just couldn’t rge into one.
This was the bottleneck.
Jiang Hao wasn’t in a hurry. He operated the Primordial Heart Sutra thodically, sorting out the power, allowing it to rge quickly.
In the quiet of the night.
Jiang Hao was surrounded by Purple Qi, and when the spiritual energy and blood qi were all exhausted, a cracking sound ca from his body.
It was the sound of the bottleneck breaking.
A tiny Golden Core ford at the dantian and then began to absorb all the surrounding power.
In just a short ti, a complete Golden Core floated within the dantian.
A powerful aura spilled out, spreading throughout his body.
Only then did Jiang Hao slowly open his eyes.
He clenched his fists, feeling the power of the Golden Core erge.
Feeling his own strength, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Golden Core, unimaginable.”
He was indeed surprised.
In the past, accumulating a hundred points of cultivation would take a very long ti.
After being targeted by Senior Sister Yun Ruo, he faced constant danger, but his promotion speed also accelerated continuously.
Should he be thankful to her?
However, he quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought, because the root cause was not Senior Sister Yun Ruo.
It was that woman.
Her appearance must have caused so changes in the Tianyin Sect, which then started a widespread search for undercover agents, leading to Senior Sister Yun Ruo setting her sights on him.
After that, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower ca into his possession, and he began to fish.
Only then did the current situation arise.
So if he were to thank anyone, it should be that woman.
But... Being in danger every day was also caused by that woman.
He should bla her.
A jumble of thoughts rushed in, and he shook his head to clear them away.
Then he went to the courtyard to tend to his blade.
Whether or not sothing would happen would be seen tonight. It was best just to sit and wait.
And he sat there for the entire night.
At this mont, the first ray of sunlight peeked from the horizon.
Just when Jiang Hao thought nothing would happen, a figure walked towards the wooden hut, bathed in light.
“Here they co.”
Surprised, Jiang Hao picked up his Half-Moon and walked out of the courtyard.
He stepped towards the creek, and the person stood on the opposite side.
The two looked at each other across the bank.
Under the early sun, Jiang Hao could see the other person’s face and condition clearly.
It was a slightly burly man, currently weak, with tattered and disheveled clothes.
Blood oozed from his arm and waist, as if he had been through a fierce battle.
Considering his condition, it was impressive that he could still exhibit the strength of the late Foundation Establishnt stage.
Was he intentionally let go?
Jiang Hao imdiately thought of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
Many people must be curious to see what would happen when one touched it, right?
Liu Xingchen had always wanted to watch the drama unfold.
“You can’t escape,” Jin Zhouheng said, staring intently at Jiang Hao, his face sowhat fierce.
“I’m not running,” Jiang Hao replied.
“Are you waiting for soone to save you? Don’t bother. The people who captured are currently trapped by my magic, and they won’t make it here before daylight,” Jin Zhouheng said with a face full of resentnt.
“Why did you kill Junior Sister Yun Ruo ?”
“She was a traitor,” Jiang Hao answered calmly.
At this mont, he began to gather his strength.
“Do you know how important Junior Sister Yun Ruo was to ? She was my hope for survival. When I was weak, only she was with . When everyone else was ostracizing , she stayed by my side. She was like a light that illuminated my dark world, giving a goal, a drive, allowing to surpass everyone around . But... you killed her.”
Jin Zhouheng grew more agitated as he spoke, his eyes filled with hatred.
Looking at the other’s pain, Jiang Hao just shook his head gently and then said.
“Now I know.”
Seeing Jiang Hao like this, Jin Zhouheng’s face twisted.
“Then do you know that I will co to kill you?”
Without answering his question, Jiang Hao simply said expressionlessly.
“Do you still rember the good that Senior Sister Yun Ruo did for you?”
“How could I forget? I will never forget it in this lifeti,” Jin Zhouheng said angrily.
“Think about it then,” Jiang Hao kindly suggested.
“Go back to those beautiful mories, and then co to kill .”
By this ti, his blade was fully charged.
