Chapter 559: Unexpectedly Killed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him. He was unsure of what to say.
He truly was just a gatekeeper.
His status and position were not that high.
Some of the invited guests could cause significant trouble if offended.
But if he let someone in like this and something went wrong, it would be his responsibility.
However, if the person really had a formidable background, it would be equally troublesome to stop them.
“Friend, which branch invited you?” Jiang Hao asked politely. “I can deliver a message to them and have them come to receive you.”
“What? Don’t you believe me?” The man looked at him disdainfully. “I made it this far. Doesn’t that prove everything?”
“But a token is required to enter this gate,” Jiang Hao said.
He didn’t want to be involved, but fate had decided it would be him today.
These people were the most difficult. Couldn’t they just show their tokens?
If they didn’t want that, the least they could do was wait till he called the branch disciple who invited him.
But this man didn’t budge.
He just asked whether Jiang Hao believed him or not.
“Does everyone need a token to enter?” Murong Jing asked. “If your elders’ partners are from other sects, would you still stop them because they don’t have a token? You could just nod and allow them to enter.”
Jiang Hao looked at the man in confusion.
Was he here to demonstrate his superiority in the Heavenly Note Sect?
An elder’s partner would likely be at least at the Return to Void or higher realms. Who would dare to stop them?
If the person in front of them was an Immortal Ascension Realm expert, Jiang Hao would have to ask relevant questions. He was helpless.
Even if he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, he couldn’t back down.
“Perhaps, friend, you can try contacting someone inside the gate. If it’s not convenient, you can give me a name, and I’ll help you get in touch,” Jiang Hao said politely.
“Do you have authority here?” Murong Jing sneered.
Jiang Hao remained silent.
“Are you adamant about not letting me in?” Murong Jing asked again.
Jiang Hao was just doing his duty. But after a short while, two people flew from a distance.
One was wearing the Blackheaven Sect attire, and the other was wearing the Heavenly Note Sect attire.
Both of them were young and very powerful. They were both at the Soul Ascension Realm.
“Junior Brother Murong, why are you still outside?” the Blackheaven Sect expert asked.
“I wanted to go in, but unfortunately, someone doesn’t intend to let me in.” Murong Jing pointed at Jiang Hao.
The others looked at him.
In response, Jiang Hao could only explain that he was only asking for a token.
“I’ll take him in,” the Heavenly Note Sect expert said.
Jiang Hao had no choice but to step aside.
“Why aren’t you demanding tokens now?” Murong Jing asked. “If you don’t want it, I’ll just go in.”
Jiang Hao remained silent.
He could only watch as they left.
Later, he returned to his position and con tinued to wait for the next group of
people.
Nan Yushu and others nearby were done with their cultivation, but they didn’t dare speak up in front of such powerful experts.
They could only watch Jiang Hao being ridiculed.
At night, some of the Blackheaven Sect members gathered together.
They seemed dissatisfied with the gatekeepers of the Heavenly Note Sect.
“The gatekeepers of the Heavenly Note Sect seem to have quite an attitude.”
“Yeah, they wouldn’t let me in earlier. Is this how they treat guests?” Murong Jing spoke up.
“Do the gatekeepers of the Heavenly Note Sect have a big reputation? I didn’t see them speaking up in front of Senior Brother Luo.”
“Which one are you talking about?” a woman asked.
“The one in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. I don’t know his name,” Murong Jing said.
“His name is Jiang Hao. I know him, and I also know where he lives. Do you want to go and teach him a lesson?” said a woman with a mole on her eye.
“How do you know where he lives?” another woman asked.
“Forget about that. Should we go or not? Let’s go out tomorrow and go in again to see if he still dares to be arrogant,” said the woman with the mole.
“Just teaching him a lesson? Too polite. This is a demonic sect. It’s okay to be a little dramatic. Later, I will go and crush his mouth and severely damage his cultivation. Let’s see if he dares to be arrogant then,” Murong Jing said. “In the demonic path, anyone who offends is punished,” said the woman with the mole.
Some others were a bit worried.
“Is this really appropriate?”
However, their voices were drowned out.
“Then, let’s set off now. Junior Sister, lead the way,” Murong Jing said with a playful smile.
A group of people was about to set off to cleanse evil and uphold righteousness.
But before they could move, a figure suddenly descended.
He stood in front of Murong Jing and, with lightning-fast speed, swung a blade.
He used the Demonic Sound Slash.
Boom!
Murong Jing hadn’t even reacted yet and was already killed by a single strike.
Blood splattered.
Everyone else was stunned in place.
When they finally reacted, the person had already taken away Murong Jing’s storage magic treasure and other treasures from his body.
Only then did everyone realize what had happened.
They started to flee. Most of them rushed toward their senior’s residence. The woman with the mole was a little surprised and was about to follow everyone.
But as she tried to leave, she suddenly felt the surroundings go quiet.
She was the only one in the entire forest. She knew she was being targeted.
“Who’s there? Show yourself.”
The surroundings fell silent.
“Who do you think you are? I’m a disciple of the Blackheaven Sect. Killing me will definitely cause a conflict between the two sects. You…” Before she could finish her words, a long blade swept across her neck.
In the end, she didn’t know how or why she died.
Jiang Hao frowned.
This person was an undercover agent from the Heavenly Saint Sect. Originally, she was in the Blackheaven Sect but unexpectedly came to the Heavenly Sound Sect.
So, he was trying to incite some people to kill him to explore the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
‘It seems like there aren’t many undercover agents from the Heavenly Saint Sect left in the Heavenly Note Sect.’
In order to ensure peace in the future, he could only make the other person give up this idea.
After taking away the Heavenly Cauldron, Jiang Hao looked at Murong Jing’s body in a daze.
He wasn’t the one who killed this person.
By the time he arrived, it was already too late.
He didn’t even get to see the person who had acted.
He had arrived to teach these people a lesson to show them that this was a demonic sect, not an immortal sect like theirs.
But it seemed like someone didn’t think so. The unknown person had used the Demonic Sound Slash to frame him.
‘I didn’t expect a simple matter to become so complicated.’
Jiang Hao sighed and turned to leave.
Later, he heard a roar.
The aura expanded. It indicated a Soul Ascension Realm cultivation.
Jiang Hao felt helpless.
He didn’t actually kill the person, and he had no idea who was so brazen.
But this other person certainly didn’t act on his behalf. If that were the case, why use the Demonic Sound Slash?
He didn’t know how things would unfold tomorrow.
Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao sighed.
The traitor’s storage treasure was virtually empty. There were only about a hundred spirit stones.
If he hadn’t noticed the suspicious expression of the other party, he would have missed it.
It seemed that there were quite a few undercover agents from the Blackheaven Sect, and it was possible they were deliberately sent to the Heavenly Note Sect.
“Master, the fish is looking for you again.” The spirit beast ran in holding the green fish.
It seemed like it wanted to say something. Its mouth was opening and closing..
