Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 527  A Fool

At the Sea Fog Cave, Jiang Hao walked through the passage. His injuries had now completely healed, and he was in even better shape than before.

The effect of the Sea God Pill far exceeded his expectations.

It was almost unbelievable. The curse was dispelled easily. Not even a trace remained on his body.

The injuries on his body were visibly healing at a rapid pace.

His primordial spirit was condensing, and the power of his divine abilities and techniques was once again enhanced.

The Immortal Mountain Sea Shield had also been restored to its original state.

He felt the terrifying nature of the divine pill for the first time.

When he first consumed the Scarlet Feather Divine Pill, he didn't experience any reaction, so he thought that divine pills were just like that.

Now he realized that he had wasted the Sea God Pill. It was truly invaluable.

Shaking his head, he decided to figure a way out of there first.

He was unfamiliar with the route, and he had to find his way on his own.

Even with the nameless manual's assistance, finding an exit was still quite challenging.

Fortunately, he thought of a way. He let one of the tentacles lead the way.

If he wasn't noticed, he could follow the tentacles and find his way.

It was going smoothly.

However, in order to maintain an appearance of slow progress, he occasionally severed the tentacles and obstructed them.

When the time was right, he would let the tentacles lead the way again.

Boom!

As he walked along the path, he heard a loud rumbling sound followed by the surging of sea fog waves.

There was a powerful aura inside.

'It seems like a big battle is erupting inside. I wonder how it will turn out.'

Logically, there should be reinforcements soon, but he didn't see any along his route.

Fortunately, besides the initial encounter with Tong Tian, no one else chased him.

After a long time, Jiang Hao finally saw signs of people. In the huge passage, many people were retreating while fighting.

Each person had some injuries, and some were directly swallowed by the tentacles.

Jiang Hao took out his Half-Moon Blade and joined the battle.

"Sorry about this."

Jiang Hao looked at the nearly shattered blade and sighed.

He had been using it for quite a while, and it was indeed time for a replacement.

However, top-grade treasures like Golden Core level blades were quite expensive.

With Jiang Hao joining the fray, the pressure on these people greatly decreased, but they didn't know that someone was helping them.

They couldn't perceive that someone had joined the battle inside the sea fog. They only felt that the tentacles had weakened.

"Stay focused! The attacks are weakening!"

"If we get through this section, we'll be able to get out. Hold on."

Others shouted and began to exert their full strength.

However, the person who boosted their morale took the opportunity to escape.

It seemed like he wanted the others to help block the tentacles for him.

In Jiang Hao's perception, he could "see" that eight or nine people had escaped.

Only fools would stay at the forefront.

Jiang Hao felt that he was indeed a fool.

In order to avoid attention, he had no choice but to retreat with the rest of the group.

Even with his participation, many people still died.

He could only save those he could, and fortunately, these people were not very clever. Even if he saved them, it wouldn't bring him much trouble.

Outside the sea fog, powerful individuals entered. They were at least in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Zheng Shijiu and the others stood at the edge of the sea fog and looked inside.

With Ah Zha's efforts, they managed to get out. But Jiang Hao still hadn't come out.

Although they had looked for him several times, they hadn't seen him come out at all.

They didn't know what had happened.

The bald Golden Core Realm cultivator lowered his head. This experience had made him suddenly understand something.

There were still good people in this world.

Or rather, he felt the brilliance of humanity for the first time, and this light emanated from Jiang Hao.

Not only did he risk his life to save others in danger, but he also forcibly saved him when he was about to die together with him.

In the many years of his cultivation, he had encountered many people, and everyone seemed to be filled with selfishness.

The suffering and darkness he had endured since he started cultivating constantly reminded him of how terrifying human nature could be.

In this world, no one would save him. Only self-preservation mattered.

But Jiang Hao was different. He had challenged the Golden Core Realm cultivator's beliefs.

In the eyes of some, Jiang Hao was complex. But mostly, he was a kind person.

Jiang Hao's death wouldn't affect them much. At most, they would think of him once in a while.

After all, they were still alive.

At that moment, Zheng Shijiu and the others saw someone rushing out.

It seemed that this person had just escaped from inside.

Soon, they were questioned by the people from the Heavenly Note Sect.

"I came to ask for help. Our people are coming out soon, but at the last moment, they were held back by the demonic beasts. I hope the sect can provide support."

Almost everyone had similar things to say.

There were indeed people from the sect who had gone inside.

Jiang Hao was inside too. He considered how to leave without attracting attention. Running out now would be too conspicuous.

Suddenly, he felt someone approaching.

This person was very powerful.

Boom!

A powerful attack blasted open the sea fog.

The crowd rejoiced. The sect had come to support them.

Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, then followed the crowd and withdrew.

This time, there were no surprises, and everyone made it out.

Zheng Shijiu noticed him.

After a brief reunion with the group, they all left.

It wasn't safe to stay in the sea fog cave for long.

If the Heavenly Note Sect and the people from overseas had won, it was fine. But if they lost, it would affect the outside.

Once he confirmed that everything was fine, Jiang Hao planned to go back.

It had been a long time since he went home.

He didn't know what it was like back there.

He had come to the sea fog cave at the end of January, and now it was early July.

Five months had passed.

Zheng Shijiu, Xin Yuyue, and the others also left with him.

The four of them were on the same team, so they were going back together to report their mission.

The sea fog cave had experienced unusual changes, and it was no longer suitable for cultivators of their level to participate.

Surviving and coming out was already considered as the mission being completed.

"This mission exceeded our expectations," Xin Yuyue said with emotion as she flew on her sword.

"It was so much easier back when we were recruiting disciples together," Zheng Shijiu suitable for our Flowing Waterfall branch."

They looked at Jiang Hao. They were curious about the people he brought back.

said with a smile as he opened his folded fan.

"It's been so many years. How are the recruited disciples doing?" Yue You asked curiously.

Xin Yuyue smiled awkwardly. "Mine didn't have any surprises. They are all ordinary disciples."

Zheng Shijiu sighed helplessly. His situation was the same as Xin Yuyue.

"I brought back four people. The one who stood out among them was the one with insufficient talent back then," Yue You said. "I thought he wouldn't last long, but unexpectedly, he showed astonishing perseverance and a heart like steel. He's most suitable for our Flowing Waterfall branch."

They looked at Jiang Hao. They were curious about the people he brought back.

Jiang Hao recalled the three people he had brought back. "From the three people I brought back… one married an inner disciple. The other one is at the Foundation Establishment Realm. The last one is still at the first stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm."

Each of them was extraordinary.

The first two were as expected, but the last one was simply unbelievable.

It had been so many years, and they were still at the first stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm.

"I remember that one. His friends have already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, right?" said Zheng Shijiu.

The group expressed their sympathy. They talked about casual matters and arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall.

After reporting the completion of their mission, the four of them went their separate ways.

On his way, Jiang Hao met Liu Xingchen.

He encountered him as soon as he came back. It made Jiang Hao feel that something was wrong.
