Chapter 84: The Consequences of Killing a True Disciple
Li Kai was dead.
He died right in front of Ming Zuquan, who couldn’t even prevent his death.
Blood splattered on his face.
This cold and powerless feeling spread from his heart.
But as a Golden Core stage powerhouse, he reacted imdiately.
However, before he could act, a blade had already stabbed him from behind.
Clang!
His protective clothing automatically shielded him.
This gave Ming Zuquan a sigh of relief, but he didn’t dare waste ti.
The clothing didn’t hold up for long, and just before he could muster his strength, a purple light flashed.
The defense shattered, and the protective clothing disintegrated.
Pfft!
A silver-white blade carrying Purple Qi pierced through Ming Zuquan’s body.
From the mont Li Kai was killed to the blade piercing through the protective clothing and Ming Zuquan’s body, it took less than a breath’s ti.
“Senior, I am willing to submit and offer my life soul to serve you!” Ming Zuquan didn’t make any rash moves, instead trying to persuade the person behind him.
He felt that the blade could suppress his spiritual energy.
“Forget this life, maybe in the next,” another black blade, also carrying Purple Qi, slashed across his neck.
The voice was cold with determination.
Ming Zuquan wanted to struggle, but the blade was faster.
In an instant, blood sprayed from his neck.
“You, I am a true disciple...”
Whoosh!
The blade was swung again, the second form of the Heavenly Saber, Mountain Suppressor.
With one slash, the opponent was cut to pieces.
Jiang Hao looked at the remains for a long while before he quietly said, “Even a true disciple has only one life.”
Afterward, he left with the storage treasure.
In the room, Jiang Hao looked at the storage treasure, feeling it was a pity.
Because it was Li Kai who had brought it out, not Ming Zuquan’s.
When he checked, there were no extra treasures; he didn’t know if they weren’t brought or if they were destroyed by the Mountain Suppressor.
Besides that, he didn’t find the mastermind behind the scenes.
“Bai Ye, I don’t know who he really is. Ming Zuquan was at the mid-stage of Golden Core. If he was also acting on soone’s orders, then Bai Ye’s cultivation must not be low. I might not be able to deal with him now.”
This was also the reason he had to act; there was no reason to wait any longer.
He didn’t want to wait anymore.
Before he acted, he had assessed Ming Zuquan and found no information about Bai Ye.
However, it was apparent that making a profit was secondary, or rather, spirit stones were secondary; what they really wanted was nourishnt.
“In the storage bag, there are only one thousand six hundred spirit stones, but there are quite a few black beads.”
These were used to restore the nourishnt of the land.
“One thousand six hundred, five hundred from alone, and only one thousand one hundred for the others combined?”
Jiang Hao had inquired before; there were at least four others who had experienced the sa as him.
One thousand one hundred for four people was not a small amount.
Spread out, it was almost three hundred per person.
Most of the ti, they were guarding the Spiritual dicine Garden, mostly receiving sect resources.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t collected resources for a long ti, having been cut off for several years.”
After collecting the spirit stones and nearly three thousand black beads, he destroyed Li Kai’s storage treasure.
Next, he would have to face the investigation of the Hall of Enforcent.
A true disciple had died; he didn’t know what trouble it would bring.
In theory, after dragging it out for seven days, they shouldn’t be able to trace it back to him.
He could only wait and see if Liu Xingchen would co.
After that, he began to study the divine ability to restore the spirit, “Hidden Spirit Manifestation.”
......
Early morning.
Jiang Hao opened his eyes, and the much stronger power within him burst forth instantly.
Majestic and profound.
However, this power didn’t linger for long before Jiang Hao quickly dispersed it.
“Wow, that’s impressive.”
He clenched his fist, feeling emotional.
He had just used the technique of Manifestation to add Hidden Spirit on top of his existing power.
Since each advancent consolidated his body with vital energy, he could withstand even double the strength.
At that mont, his power was unprecedentedly strong.
Facing the later stages, he seed utterly composed.
For a mont, he even wished for a Golden Core late-stage adversary to provoke him just to test his might.
But he imdiately quashed such a dangerous thought; it was too risky to get so carried away.
However, the Manifestation of the Hidden Spirit could be used as an important trump card.
It was suitable for either endurance or a burst of power.
“Divine abilities really are wonderful things. I wonder how long it will take to save up three of the fragnts next ti.”
Setting aside divine abilities, his cultivation and vital energy should accumulate enough after a while.
After recovering his Hidden Spirit, Jiang Hao stepped out of his room.
Upon reaching the courtyard, he saw a rabbit standing at the gate.
“You’re up early?” Jiang Hao said, surprised.
Usually, the rabbit would be lying next to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
“Master, sothing big has happened,” the rabbit said anxiously, holding its collar.
“Look, it’s cracked. You need to get a new one, or it’s going to break.”
“Then just don’t wear it,” Jiang Hao said nonchalantly.
“But how will others know I’m a rabbit raised by the Master if I don’t wear it? Master, please buy a new one, and I’ll tell you so great news,” the rabbit pleaded bitterly.
What great news could this rabbit have?
A collar costs a thousand; even after robbing people, he could barely afford it.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly; even with last night’s addition, he only had nineteen hundred spirit stones.
The Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman was also nearly sold out.
Spending a thousand left him with only nine hundred.
He didn’t even know if he could afford tea leaves, let alone check for precious spiritual dicine seeds.
But not giving the rabbit a collar indeed made it a target for others and could lead to trouble.
He would have to check the market next ti.
After collecting the spirit bubbles, he took out a black pearl and identified it.
【Nutrient Pearl: A masterpiece by Bai Ye, created for his advancent. It can enrich the soil and abnormally enhance spiritual objects.】
It was Bai Ye again, and it was sothing he had researched for his own advancent.
Jiang Hao was curious about what realm the other party was aiming to advance to.
It seed like a tough character to deal with, and now that he had so many nutrient seeds, he wondered if it would cause trouble.
But then he thought, trouble had already arrived, so he didn’t worry about it anymore.
He needed to focus on advancing as soon as possible.
As the sun shone down, Jiang Hao left the courtyard to collect spirit bubbles from the Spiritual dicine Garden.
But he hadn’t gone far when he was t by Liu Xingchen.
Two disciples from the Hall of Enforcent followed him, all with serious expressions.
This made Jiang Hao feel uneasy.
Had they co so quickly?
He thought it would take at least two or three days.
“Junior Brother Jiang, we et again. This ti we are here on official business,” Liu Xingchen said solemnly.
It was clear that this was serious and not a ti to relax.
“What business does Senior Brother have here?” Jiang Hao asked politely.
“A true disciple has had an accident, and the culprit has not yet been found. Therefore, we need to take so people related to him for custody and investigation,” Liu Xingchen explained.
In that instant, Jiang Hao realized how serious the murder of a true disciple was.
They had already investigated thoroughly early in the morning and were now directly taking people away without asking for reasons.
“Am I involved?” Jiang Hao asked, though he already knew the answer.
“Yes,” Liu Xingchen nodded slightly:
“There is a certain connection, so Junior Brother will need to co with us. And before we leave, we need to check Junior Brother’s residence. Would Junior Brother mind?”
Jiang Hao shook his head to indicate it was fine.
Liu Xingchen was polite in his approach; in other places, they probably wouldn’t ask and would just conduct a search.
Although Jiang Hao didn’t know what they were looking for.
“Junior Brother, please co with us to prevent any damage to your belongings,” Liu Xingchen led the way to the courtyard.
Once inside, Liu Xingchen didn’t search but stood with Jiang Hao and then casually asked.
“Is there anything important in Junior Brother’s storage bag?”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao tensed up but tried not to show any reaction.
“Just so spiritual talismans and dicinal pills.”
“That’s good,” Liu Xingchen’s tone was less serious.
“When we get to the place of custody, the Senior Brother or Elder in charge of this matter will likely inspect Junior Brother’s storage treasures.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao was greatly alard.
This was bad news.
