Chapter 408: Finally Leaving

“Junior Brother Jiang, haven’t seen you for so long!” Liu Xingchen smiled.

“It’s been a while, Senior Brother Liu,” Jiang Hao said.

Indeed, they hadn’t seen each other for quite some time.

“The Law Enforcement Hall has been quite busy lately, and I’ve been swamped by work. Fortunately, that’s over now, but new tasks have come up,” Liu Xingchen said helplessly.

“New tasks?” Jiang Hao was curious.

This task might involve leaving the sect.

“Yes.” Liu Xingchen walked alongside Jiang Hao. “Junior Brother Jiang, you know about the Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference, right?”

Jiang Hao nodded.

“Did a lot of people leave on that trip?”

“Yes.”

“Quite a few of us from the Law Enforcement Hall are going too. I happen to be among them. Unlike the others, we need to check the route first, so we have to leave earlier.”

Jiang Hao was taken aback. ‘He is going to the Bright Moon Sect?’

Quickly, he realized there wasn’t much difference. The Clear Sky School was also located in the eastern region.

“This trip will take quite a while. I won’t be able to come back in one to two years. I wonder what might happen within the sect during that time.” Liu Xingchen sighed.

“That long?” Jiang Hao also felt that was too long.

With Liu Xingchen not around, he wouldn’t have access to the information about the Law Enforcement Hall.

He was familiar only with Liu Xingchen.

Moreover, they could conveniently use each other without any pressure since they were both undercover. Both had benefited without any trouble.

“It takes at least two years round-trip, and the Dao Conference lasts from three months to half a year,” Liu Xingchen said. “What do you think, Junior Brother Jiang?

‘Three to four years?’

Jiang Hao had thought about this, but he still felt that it was quite a long time.

Fortunately, he wasn’t going. Three or four years would have been wasted.

In four years, he could advance twice.

“Are you setting off in a few days, Senior Brother Liu?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes.” Liu Xingchen nodded. “I heard that you got the chance to go too, but you chose not to?”

“It’s too dangerous outside for me,” Jiang Hao said.

“You do tend to stand out with your accomplishments.” Liu Xingchen chuckled. “But your current situation isn’t as perilous as it seems. I heard that the person from the Sunset Immortal Sect gave up because they couldn’t wait for you to leave the sect any longer.”

“Gave up?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

Only eight years had passed since the incident. The threat from the Sunset immortal Sect was gone. Now, only the Heavenly Saint Sect remained.

The Heavenly Saint Sect was getting wiped out. So, they probably won’t linger in the sect for long.

For a moment, he felt much safer.

What remained were only the Heavenly Joy Pavilion and the Fallen Immortal

Clan.

The Fallen Immortal Clan had spied on him once. If they were to do it again, the matter of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl would be discovered.

By then, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate with peace of mind.

However, the people from Sunset Immortal Sect had only temporarily given uD. Once thev aooeared in front of him again. conflicts would still arise.

As for the Heavenly Saint Sect, they hadn’t given up altogether. It was just that they couldn’t approach him yet.

‘I should wait for the right time. A hundred years from now, I’ll go find them and ask them to let go of past grievances. If a hundred years isn’t enough, then a thousand. Someday, they’ll listen to me.’O

“It’s been several years. There are so many matters in the cultivation world. Who remembers things that don’t bring benefits? Eight years is enough time for a person to let go of their recklessness and assess the situation. It’s not that difficult,” Liu Xingchen said. “Perhaps one day, Junior Brother Jiang, the sect will have internal conflicts. Continuing to wait and consume resources might not be as worthwhile as pursuing other avenues.”

Jiang Hao nodded. It would be best if things unfolded that way.

However, regarding the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, they probably wouldn’t give up.

For example, Senior Sister Ming Yi was always hovering over him.

She was still executing her plan. Eight years had passed, and she occasionally appeared to help him in the garden and disappeared again.

‘Was she planning something big?’

Before Liu Xingchen left, he told Jiang Hao that the Law Enforcement Hall had mentioned him again.

Jiang Hao could only smile politely.

He didn’t want to give spirit stones to the Law Enforcement Hall, but He might not have a choice.

When the Dao Conference began, he would have to go there, and it wasn’t certain how much time that would take. But three months should be enough.

Arriving at the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao began guiding Cheng Chou in his cultivation.

Cheng Chou hadn’t experienced any fortuitous encounters, nor did he possess any extraordinary talent. Luckily, he was willing to work hard and didn’t waste his time.

With Jiang Hao’s guidance, he was progressing at a reasonable pace.

As for how far he could go, Jiang Hao couldn’t be sure.

However, the Golden Core Realm was definitely within his reach. It would be much more difficult to achieve beyond that realm.

r

Two months later, in early September, Jiang Hao gave the spirit beast three thousand spirit stones. He hesitated for a moment, and then he gave a thousand spirit stones to Xiao Li.

A total of four thousand spirit stones.

Resources for the sect gathered over nine years of Foundation Establishment Realm would amount to that much.

It seemed like a lot, but it would be scarce once they reached the eastern region.

Looking at Chu Chuan, Jiang Hao sighed. After all, they were going to meet geniuses there. It would be embarrassing to not have enough spirit stones. Jiang Hao gave him eight hundred.

Close to five thousand spirit stones were gone, just like that.

He gave them most of what he had earned so far. He also gave them various talismans and pills.

“If there is danger, let Xiao Li handle it. If there is a dispute, the beast will handle it,” said Jiang Hao.

“Then, what should I do?” Chu Chuan asked.

‘Eight hundred spirit stones…’ Chu Chuan hadn’t seen that many spirit stones in his life. He felt like he was floating in the air.

“Listen to the beast’s instructions,” Jiang Hao said. “Remember to obey the Cliff Master’s orders. Don’t wander around, and don’t cause trouble.”

“Master, leave everything to me. The future of the eastern region will be filled with Lord Beast’s legends soon,” said the spirit beast.

“My courtyard is small. There’s no room for legendary beasts of the east,” Jiang Hao said.

“Master, you have no sense of humor at all. I was just joking,” said the beast with a sigh. “That’s why you haven’t been able to find a mistress, Master.”

“Mistress?” Xiao Li looked puzzled.

“It’s your sister-in-law,” said the beast.

Xiao Li thought for a moment, and she recalled the Senior Sister she had seen before.

“I guess so.” She wasn’t entirely sure.

Jiang Hao didn’t pay them any further attention but instructed them to wait at the Cliff Master’s place.

Watching the three of them leave, Jiang Hao sighed. He couldn’t help feeling worried about them.

Chu Chuan possessed an indomitable spirit because of his Immortal Heart, but aside from that, he wasn’t particularly outstanding.

Xiao Li could fight and eat but didn’t excel in other areas.

The beast was quite versatile, but it tended to cause trouble easily. The deceptive creature was anything but reassuring.

However, the beast was about to achieve the Gold Core Realm.

Having a Gold Core demonic beast around should be safer.

Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it and headed to the square outside the sect.

There were quite a few people gathered there.

This was where they could watch the team leave.

Jiang Hao saw a massive sword fly out of the gate.

Xiao Li and the others were on the sword.

“Senior Brother Jiang, I’ll bring you some delicious food when I come back!” Xiao Li waved and shouted from above.

Jiang Hao watched them leave without saying anything.

With them gone, there would be no leader at the Cliff of Broken Hearts. He hoped no one would cause trouble.

Without Xiao Li and the beast, it seemed like there were many more things to worry about.

He wouldn’t have anyone he could ask about things.

The beast was talented in deceiving and hiding its true abilities. It was quite suitable when he had to send it to gather information.

‘It’ll have to leave someday, and I’ll have to get used to it slowly.’

Jiang Hao smiled faintly and stopped overthinking..
