Yu Dehong sighed inwardly when he heard Qian Yu’s words.
So, these people were the traitors…
Most of the team from before had perished, leaving only these two alive. And now, it was their turn.
The path of immortality was fraught with challenges, resources were scarce, and competition was inevitable.
It was up to the individual to decide how to become stronger. It seemed that his methods were inferior to theirs.
“Are they already here then?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Senior Brother Jiang, you’ve already figured it out. There’s no need to ask further. The rumors were true. I must say your skills are exceptional,” said Qian
Ning Shuang took a step back.
Jiang Hao noticed it but didn’t pay much attention. He thought she would wait for the right moment to flee.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t fled in the earlier encounter, and the situation had worsened. She was more careful this time.
Sure enough, a magical treasure emanated, and Ning Shuang’s presence faded.
By the time someone noticed, it was too late.
Qian Yu noticed it as Ning Shuang disappeared.
She was shocked.
How could the seemingly frail woman vanish without a trace? I
If only she had been more observant, Ning Shuang wouldn’t have slipped away unnoticed.
As it turned out, she had been pretending to be naive and frail. She just used others and didn’t care if others were in danger.
“We’re done for!” Qian Yu said in despair.
Her betrayal would be exposed to the sect now because one of the people had escaped. She intended to leave the sect and never return.
Jiang Hao watched and then focused on his aura. He closed his eyes and pretended to faint.
Yu Dehong was astonished and had intended to help him, but he fell to the ground as well.
Thud!
Yu Dehong fell, but Jiang Hao, on the other hand, stopped halfway and then stood up again.
Qian Yu and Qian Shi were shocked.
What on earth was happening? Why was he acting so strangely?
Jiang Hao remained calm and looked at the approaching figures. There were three people. Among them, two were in the early stage and one was in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
“Three people at the Primordial Spirit Realm to capture a Golden Core Realm cultivator like me? Seriously?” said Jiang Hao.
“Somebody paid a high price for your life. We didn’t really want to come. After all, this place is in the middle of a battle and extremely dangerous for us. But someone offered too much for your death,” the middle-aged man in charge said.
“Spirit stones?” Jiang Hao asked.
It was likely related to the Sunset Immortal Sect. He hadn’t expected that their long-standing enmity would be rekindled.
“Can you tell me who paid you? I deserve to know if I’m going to die anyway,” said Jiang Hao.
“The son of Elder Gui of the Sunset Immortal Sect, Gui Yun,” the middle-aged man said.
Jiang Hao had thought they would refuse to reveal the name, but he didn’t expect the information to be so easily given.
Jiang Hao appraised the man to see if he was speaking the truth. Indeed, he was.
“In that case, let’s not waste any more time. After all, this place isn’t very safe,” Jiang Hao said. Politely.
“You’re really looking out for…,” the middle-aged man said with a smirk, but he found that his vision was already blurring. Then, he fell to the ground.
He was dead before he could even complete his words.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned, especially Qian Yu and Qian Shi. It was almost unbelievable.
However, the two early-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators reacted quickly. One attempted to attack while the other tried to escape.
Unfortunately, the sword light swept by, and moonlight shone brightly. Their figures disappeared like wisps of smoke.
Jiang Hao collected the three storage treasures and turned to look at the two juniors.
“Senior Brother, this is all a misunderstanding…” Qian Yu said in fear.
She couldn’t have dreamed that this Golden Core Realm senior could take down primordial Spirit Realm cultivators in a single blow. How had they encountered such a horrifying person?
Jiang Hao nodded in understanding.
Then, he swung his sword, and their world was enveloped by the blade’s light.
After dealing with the bodies, Jiang Hao looked at Senior Brother Yu Dehong, who was still unconscious.
“We can’t continue traveling together. It will definitely become more dangerous. If I travel with others, I will surely be discovered,” Jiang Hao muttered.
With his current strength, he could escape. However, it would be a problem if other sect members were present.
He didn’t want to take any action at this moment.
Since he had come out this time, he decided to continue staying here.
However, he didn’t know what kind of danger he might encounter.
People from the Sunset Immortal Sect had already arrived. The Heavenly Saint Sect, the Fallen Immortal Clan, Feng Hua, and Yin Wei might be around here too. It was undoubtedly very dangerous.
He had no choice but to remain outside the sect. If he couldn’t fight, they could always use the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman to escape and return to the sect.
Hopefully, by that time, Golden Core Realm cultivators would no longer be needed.
After leaving some subtle magic to awaken Senior Brother Yu Dehong, Jiang Hao vanished from the spot.
He would head to either the Blackheaven Sect or the Sunset Immortal Sect to investigate the matter.
He decided to find a mine and dig for ores. It was important for him right now.
The enemies were not as important as digging for ores in the mine.
After all, it was far from easy to make the enemy lose his trail completely.
He would have to wait until he reached the Immortal Ascension Platform to infiltrate the Sunset Immortal Sect. For now, his focus was on finding the nearest cave with mines.
Once he had determined the location of the nearest mine, Jiang Hao set off quickly.
He didn’t want to go to a regular mine, but rather a more profitable one.
His first target was the mining site of the Blackheaven Sect, which was fortunately not very far away from his sect. Otherwise, he would have to choose another location.
The appearance of a Grand Earth Emperor might trigger the emergence of the Xuanyuan Sword.
That would undoubtedly cause a huge commotion. He couldn’t be close when that happened. It would be like jumping headfirst into the fire pit.
It took Jiang Hao seven days to reach the vicinity of the Blackheaven Sect’s mining site. It was a vast mining site that surrounded an entire mountain.
Jiang Hao concealed his presence from others’ perceptions. In this way, he could dig in peace for some time. He would only leave if he was chased away.
There were strong individuals guarding the mining site, so Jiang Hao didn’t dare to barge in.
However, he used his divine ability to appraise one of the individuals. He then discreetly entered the mine by assuming the identity of one of the inner sect disciples.
In the mine, Jiang Hao led a group of miners toward a mine shaft.
His official role was to supervise others, but his real goal was to mine. He had some people with him to assist in overseeing the miners.
The miners were mostly individuals who had committed crimes or were from the demonic sect.
Using ordinary people for mining would be too slow, so these individuals were more suitable.
“Senior, have you thought about the matter I mentioned to you last time?” One of the miners approached Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was puzzled.
‘What matter is it now?’
