Will he come for revenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long known about Smiling San Sheng being ambushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling San Sheng, at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm but without the Dao, had fought against a middle-stage True Immortal, three late-stage True Immortals, and one at the peak of the True Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He killed the middle-stage True Immortal and then retreated, leaving behind his defensive magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like a defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had only just become a True Immortal, while the Five Demons had been immortals for many years, with one even close to becoming a Heavenly Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else in the world, no matter how skilled, could match such opponents immediately after becoming an immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His fame rose when he became an immortal, but after one defeat, no one cared about the circumstances. A loss is a loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one wants him to stay on the pedestal. Only when he falls can others catch up and dare to take action.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many secretly fuel the fire, and Smiling San Sheng has long been targeted by others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Smiling San Sheng seems to care a lot about being the greatest in history. He’ll take revenge, but when?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Master did not like Smiling San Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had humiliated him too many times. Smiling San Sheng always came after his divine souls and spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later on, he had voluntarily given up his divine souls and spirit stones because he knew Smiling San Sheng would snatch them away either way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the shame remained. It was a deep humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for his main body to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Great Era arrived, he would quickly regain his strength and make Smiling San Sheng pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Master wondered if Smiling San Sheng would really come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time was near. It should be within one or two years, possibly even within a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party wanted revenge, they would have come by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted revenge, he should come soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he comes overseas, he will definitely look for that treasure first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he took out a fragment of a treasure that had the handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he looks for it, he will likely come to me.” The Holy Master was confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling San Sheng never passed up the chance to humiliate him. So, he waited, expecting Smiling San Sheng to come knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Smiling San Sheng did not come for the treasure, it would mean he either did not care or lacked confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he confident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Master did not think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he found a strong ally. That seemed likely. Regardless, the Holy Master had no exact answers, so he waited quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu stood guard at the closed chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling San Sheng’s defeat by the Five Demons did not surprise her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were long-time immortals, with an insurmountable gap in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But overseas, people mocked Smiling San Sheng and said that this was just a hollow fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Shangguan clan thought so. They believed they could do better than escape the Five Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where their confidence came from, Shangguan Qingsu did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard rumors. The Great Era was about to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Smiling San Sheng wanted to head overseas, it had to be soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treasure was in the secret chamber. It waited for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been here ever since she took it from the Shangguan Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he did not come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be understandable given the vast difference in their cultivation realms for Smiling San Sheng to refuse to come overseas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reputation of being the number one in history was not more important than staying alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she thought about all this, the door to the secret chamber rumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu was startled and stayed alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow Disciple Shangguan, it’s been a long time,” said a voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Smiling San Sheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Fellow Disciple.” Shangguan Qingsu bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the door was completely open, and Jiang Hao’s figure was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him stood a woman in a red and white immortal dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu glanced at her. She thought of something but forgot as she lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems your cultivation has also increased very quickly.” Jiang Hao looked like a scholar. He smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was back overseas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Fellow Disciple,” Shangguan Qingsu said seriously. “It’s all thanks to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were not for Jiang Hao’s methods, she would not have been able to cultivate at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long been tortured by the Hundred Nights Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Great Era is coming. Work hard and become an immortal as soon as possible,” said Jiang Hao and walked out of there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu quickly followed. “Senior, are you going to the Five Demons?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else?” Jiang Hao turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, I’ll stay here,” Shangguan Qingsu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She implied that she would not leak any information about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need for that.” Jiang Hao smiled and said, “You can tell everyone that Smiling San Sheng is here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke with confidence and pride. He was fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come openly and did not intend to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was planning to go directly to the Five Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did not matter if the entire overseas region knew about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted everyone to know he was there to claim the lives of the Five Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they had prepared for so long, it did not matter if they knew or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, why not be straightforward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he lost, he would accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The odds were slim against three late-stage True Immortals and one at the peak of the True Immortal Realm, but he was well-prepared. This would have to end here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, Smiling San Sheng left and disappeared into the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu lowered her head in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she chose to reveal the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Smiling San Sheng wanted to do this, she would do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she did not know if he was really that confident, arrogance and audacity were part of Smiling San Sheng’s personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had come sneakily, he would not be Smiling San Sheng, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news spread quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shangguan Clan was surprised. They thought that Smiling San Sheng was asking for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others had mixed feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twelve Heavenly Kings were astonished that he came without seeking their cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he ask for their help later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shen and the others immediately informed the Red Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red Dragon laughed. After waiting for so long, his elder brother had finally arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to perform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would act weak and then wait outside the Five Peaks Island for the show to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao received the news as well. Although he was curious, he could not leave his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Jiang Hao headed to Silent Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed a fragment over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that it was in the hands of the Holy Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved in that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, Jiang Hao appeared outside Silent Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he could clearly sense the fragment of the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My dear brother is so thoughtful.” Jiang Hao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected a fragment to fall into the Holy Master’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made things easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would not even need to pay spirit stones to retrieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Holy Master also walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Holy Master was already an Immortal Human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was extremely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Li, it’s been so long,” said Jiang Hao as he stood with his hands behind his back. He exuded an aura as deep as the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You actually dared to come overseas.” The Holy Master frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you already guess, dear brother? You know why I’m here, don’t you?” Jiang Hao kept smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in no hurry. He would take it step by step and settle old scores.\u003C\u002Fp>",1367,"2026-06-03T11:46:23.390Z","2026-06-03T11:46:29.085Z",1,"novelbin.me","a05fd35c2d78b12e478e665b8ae71ab408c00ad1e7e8666bd2391723a3f3c341","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1420","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1419",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
