Chapter 367: Appearance of the Demoness
Jiang Hao understood that the person was about to get captured.
“Killing me would be futile. I’m right by your side.” Li Bai sneered.
Jiang Hao also realized that the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was struggling and about to break free of the seal.
His mind raced. He had to figure out a way. The pearl was dangerous, but he couldn’t be discovered by others.
He had to escape from this person before anyone arrived.
In an instant, a ring appeared and wrapped around Li Baits neck.
Then purple energy covered the two, and everything disappeared.
The two reappeared in the main hall of Jiang Hao’s courtyard.
He had used the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman.
During this time, another ring flew out and activated in the hall.
Then they disappeared again. They appeared outside the Heavenly Note Sect.
At the peak of a mountain, a vortex appeared in space, and Jiang Hao and Li Bai appeared there again.
Jiang Hao looked at Li Bai and raised the Heavenly Blade high. However, he was delayed for a few breaths. He didn’t know where the misfortune came from, but it had already appeared on him. It was beginning to erode his body.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t be stopped. The Reappearance of Hidden Spirit was activated. Jiang Hao then used the third form of the Heavenly Blade: Meteor.
“Kill me and bear my misfortune. Then, detonate the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.” Li Bai’s face contorted, and a red light emanated.
Swoosh!
The Heavenly Blade slashed, and Li Bails head flew off.
“Your death won’t affect me.”
Jiang Hao retracted the ring and communicated with the ring in his courtyard.
This time, he didn’t have time to add two more strikes to his attack. As the enemy’s life force dissipated, misfortune enveloped him.
His enemy was dead, but the pearl was about to erupt.
Just before disappearing, he saw Li Bai staring up at him.
Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao used purple energy to erase all traces and put away the ring he had just used.
He then vanished from there and returned to Devil’s Den.
When he landed on the ground, he felt a deathly aura emanating from his body.
Everything related to the Body of Misfortune rushed toward him. It caused havoc.
The misfortune resonated with the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
Jiang Hao sat cross-legged. He felt that the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was on the brink of an eruption.
He didn’t mind the curses and misfortune on his body. He calmly began sealing the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl once again.
During this process, he swallowed the Scarlet Feather Divine Pill.
This pill could heal injuries and eliminate all curses.
However, there was no reaction.
He was puzzled, but there was no time to think about it.
He activated the Universe in a Palm Technique and began to seal the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
But his body grew increasingly weak. His vitality was crumbling.
At this point, the Revival of Withered Tree abilitv began to counteract the
effects of the curse.
For a while, purple energy and red light flowed continuously around Jiang Hao’s body.
He felt physically and mentally exhausted.
He felt as though he would drop the pearl from his hands at any moment.
He couldn’t let go because releasing it meant death.
For so many years, he had lived cautiously. He just couldn’t end up dead like this.
The will to survive drove Jiang Hao to frantically operate the Hong Meng Heart Sutra.
He intended to extract his cultivation and life force to resist the curse of misfortune and heal himself.
But suddenly, a red figure appeared before him, and an immense aura rushed toward him.
Inside the Lawless Tower, Mu Qiu was laughing heartily. He sensed that Li Bai had found the misfortune pearl.
He was arrogant and satisfied because he knew the eruption of the pearl would happen at any time.
Everyone would die.
However, soon, he felt as if a mirror had been directed at him. The feeling of everything being exposed scared him.
He realized that Li Bai was about to be discovered.
He was even more shocked when he realized that Li Bai was dead. However, the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl hadn’t exploded yet.
“What’s going on? Why is this happening?”
In front of the Lawless Tower, everyone was trying hard to resonate with the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror.
The other nine mirrors were full of cracks and on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, the mirror directed toward Mu Qiu revealed a haze of red. As it became clearer, they noticed that there was a figure there.
Beneath the red figure, a person was lying on a peak.
“Found him!” a middle-aged man exclaimed loudly.
“Outside the sect… in the southeast direction. It’s Mingcheng Mountain.” Baizhi disappeared in an instant and headed toward Mingcheng Mountain.
After a while, she arrived at the mountaintop.
She sensed a strong aura of misfortune.
In the midst of it, there was a body without a head. But what about the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?
The middle-aged man also followed her.
“Are there any usable Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror left?” Baizhi asked.
“Yes.” The middle-aged man nodded.
“Activate it,” Baizhi ordered.
The middle-aged man activated the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror.
Soon, an image appeared on it.
The image showed someone suddenly decapitating Li Bai in a single strike.
“I can only see this much. The person seems to have great luck with him. It’s hard to reflect in the mirror,” said the middle-aged man.
Baizhi was deep in thought.
“Seal this body properly and bring it back for investigation, ” she said.
Xu Bai and Fang Jin were still on the road.
However, at this moment, the jade pendant lightened up once again.
“Senior Uncle, have you made any progress?” Xu Bai took out the jade pendant and asked.
“It disappeared,” said a voice from the jade pendant.
“Disappeared?” This puzzled Xu Bai.
“Yes, the red light disappeared.” The voice sounded surprised.
“What happened?” Xu Bai asked.
“At first, the red light was blazing. That indicated that the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was about to erupt. However, a purple light severed everything.” The voice sounded astonished.
“Purple light?” Xu Bai was confused.
It seemed like the danger of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl had disappeared, and the purple light had something to do about it. “Let’s go over and take a look,” Xu Bai said.
Since they were already close, they might as well proceed.
They needed to observe the situation at the Heavenly Note Sect.
A sect that had only risen to fame in the past few decades and had become the center of attention in recent events. It must be extraordinary.
Fang Jin sighed in relief.
When he came along, he thought he had the power to protect himself, but the appearance of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl had shaken him.
He needed to cultivate properly and become stronger.
Fortunately, he could still go back.
“Alright, now that we’re here, let’s pay a visit to the Heavenly Note Sect first,” Xu Bai said with a smile.
Then, they set off again towards the Heavenly Note Sect.
However, this time, they didn’t rush as they did before.
When Jiang Hao saw the red figure and sensed the terrifying aura, he felt the curse on his body rapidly dissipating and his injuries visibly recovering.
He could finally seal the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
Without the influence of the Body of Misfortune, the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl couldn’t resonate with the outside world.
There was simply no possibility of it erupting.
After a long while, Jiang Hao felt that the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl had quietened.
His injuries had also mostly recovered.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Hong Yuye sitting at the wooden table and drinking tea.
He immediately stood up. “Thank you, Senior, for saving my life.”
“Don’t thank me. Do you remember what I said? I will take something from you every time I help you. This is the second time. You owe me two things. Have you decided what you’ll give me in return?” Hong Yuye sipped her tea and smiled..
