He was also concerned that his mentality would change because of his new power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deviate from his original intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he advanced, the greater the influence would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisis like the one related to Senior Sister Yun Ruo might happen more often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Sunset Immortal Sect had let it go, he would not worry about it too much even if they had not done so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Sister Yun Ruo’s cultivation realm had been at the Foundation Establishment Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had far surpassed that. It made him feel safe and fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength had an advantage. But if he was not careful, he could become very careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would begin feeling that people with higher cultivation realms were no big deal because, in a few years, he would be able to surpass them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts like that would be the beginning of a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing big happening at the moment, so he could wait for the competition between the twelve branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This competition would attract a lot of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was going to be difficult, but if he managed to become a top disciple, the problems would take care of themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life would be much more peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best outcome would be to be the ninth top disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would require him to advance steadily. That would depend on Junior Brother Han Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked around to confirm if Han Ming had won the round for those at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I haven’t been to the Lawless Tower for so long… The Great Thousand God Sect must be visiting. I should go and see the lantern bearer.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had not appraised the lantern bearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be secrets about him. Knowing too much affected his life sometimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to first go and see him before making up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was nothing, he would forget about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also needed to ask Zhuang Yuzhen about the Ancient Sword Cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao did not meet Senior Sister Yinsha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must be busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was about to enter, he suddenly felt something. It was as though something was watching him from the sky above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had felt something like this before. At that time, it had been the Fallen Immortal Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They found their way here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivation world was truly unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All kinds of people existed here. He was not the only one who was special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he stepped into the Lawless Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he entered it, the prying gaze disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao could not help but sigh in relief. The Lawless Tower was truly remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could even shield him from the prying gaze of the Fallen Immortal Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just did not know if it could shield him forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that he needed to make thorough preparations as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would get even more dangerous in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was especially risky because the other party could easily spy not only on him but also on the spirit beast, Xiao Li, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more they spied on them, the more dangerous it would become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability of the Fallen Immortal Clan exceeded his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only hope that the Leaf of Concealment would shield him from their prying gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao did not hear any voices when he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, King Hai Luo would be causing a commotion around this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, he saw that heavenly King Hai Luo was bound and gagged. Mu Longyu sat in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What’s going on?’ Jiang Hao thought in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another person on the fifth floor today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a woman. She was in a cell behind the lantern bearer. Part of her face was rotting away. She looked like a sleeping beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived, the woman raised her head and looked at him. Jiang Hao felt her piercing gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him feel like danger was near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What a powerful person!’ He thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he did not know who she was, her mere glance was enough to make him realize that she was someone extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the others saw Jiang Hao, they were excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friend Jiang, it’s been long,” said Mu Longyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is nice to meet you too, King Mu Longyue,” said Jiang Hao and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘How come he is here?’ Jiang Hao thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled that the Twelve Heavenly Kings were preparing to advance to immortality, so they should be very busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it would not work without King Mu Longyu there with them, especially since King Hai Luo was locked here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone from the Lawless Tower did this. I think that person right at the back made them do it,” said Mu Longyu regarding Hai Luo’s present condition. He knew Jiang Hao was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were Zhuang Yuzhen, King Hai Luo, Mu Longyu, and the lantern bearer on the fifth floor. There was one new addition: the woman with the rotting face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao also looked at her. He was surprised she had managed to get someone to shut Hai Luo up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, he was not here to talk with King Hai Luo. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Brother, I heard you can bring things up here?” asked a calm voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the woman with the rotting face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded. “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want something delicious to eat. Go and bring them for me,” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she was instructing someone working under her. There was no room for negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, as a junior, I’m not obligated or instructed to bring things for captives here,” said Jiang Hao politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?” The woman with the rotting face sneered. “Isn’t it the case that you have to run errands in this sect if someone asks you to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. That’s true.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Just go and do it,” she said indifferently. “Maybe there are no instructions for you today, but there’ll be tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at her. She was very intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that not obeying her would bring more trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at her. Her gaze did not waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no room for doubt or negotiation with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Hong Yuye, she seemed even more assertive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others on the fifth floor were also watching Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they were all curious to see what would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment this woman had arrived, she had been able to make the people obey her in the Lawless Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost no one dared to challenge her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unclear whether Hai Luo could stand up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, I’m sorry. If there are orders for me tomorrow, I’ll certainly follow them tomorrow. But today, there are none,” said Jiang Hao calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think that the Lawless Tower will agree if I ask them to make you stay here for a month?” asked the woman with a rotting face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They probably would,” Jiang Hao said and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just an inner sect disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Lawless Tower told him to stay here, he would have to. The Cliff of Broken Hearts would not contest that kind of direct order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power and authority of this woman was evident from the sorry state of King Hai Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that she knew important secrets that the Lawless Tower wanted to know. They were willing to listen to anything she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, how low in cultivation do you think you will drop if you stay here for a month?” asked the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “I might drop to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was a little surprised by Jiang Hao’s calm attitude. “So? Are you going to bring me the things I asked for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the sect requires it, I’ll naturally do it,” he said politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman did not respond, but her eyes showed disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao sighed. The fifth floor of the Lawless Tower would easily bring him trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who exactly was this person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating for a bit, he decided to appraise her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1503,"2026-06-03T11:46:16.531Z","2026-06-03T11:46:22.586Z",1,"novelbin.me","af390cff96392e2ce14f28bc47c2e43749a2d225ea92c6f90f2ef12e4e41f222","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1028","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1026",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
