city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark clouds loomed close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic beasts slowly approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were beasts from the mountains, commanded by some humanoid ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After warning Jiang Hao, Mo Dan and the others quickly moved forward to stop the demonic beasts from entering the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to hold at least until the evacuation was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow disciple Jiang, trouble you to notify them to leave as quickly as possible,\" Mo Dan instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a breath, their strength boomed thunderously loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic beasts began to charge, and Mo Dan's group set up a sword formation to start defending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strength was not bad, and they worked extremely well together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, they indeed managed to hold off the demonic horde's assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior brother, should we go and notify the others behind us?\" Cheng Chou asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao shook his head, \"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Cheng Chou reached the top of the city wall, looking at the battle in front with much emotion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Cheng Chou was somewhat surprised: \"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you feel about Mo Dan and his group?\" Jiang Hao asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They can be considered a reputable sect,\" Cheng Chou said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They should be called good people, there are many reputable sects, but not many who are this upright,\" Jiang Hao said indifferently, looking at the people ahead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you understand such good people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Chou shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly didn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always been in the Heavenly Note Sect, where there were no such people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heaven does not understand warm feelings, an indifferent gaze upon blossoms is all sorrow, I don't understand them either,\" Jiang Hao said softly, looking at the people below:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I can empathize with these people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a large number of demonic beasts roared in, and powerful monsters followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those humanoid monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cultivation was formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just when they were about to act, they suddenly sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with a \"bang,\" they exploded on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Chou watched closely, somewhat incredulously looking at his senior brother beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That humanoid demon seemed very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with just a casual wave of senior brother's hand, it died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people are not with us, but they are people we should respect,\" Jiang Hao said, looking at Mo Dan and the others:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this world, there are things that some people need to do, some who seek nothing else but peace for the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such people are not selfless, only that something more important resides in their hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think these young kids facing such demonic beasts would be fearless?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that we are still behind them after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some things will always need someone to do them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And they are those someones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Hao's voice faded, countless demons from the demon tribe burst apart instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength within them howled, surging towards Mo Dan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It helped them recover their strength, preventing them from exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even more, it advanced their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao watched these people and slowly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why I will never compete with them for opportunities, what should be theirs must be theirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are not good people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But while they uphold the order of heaven and earth in front, how can we sneakily steal their opportunities from behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We plan to replace them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Chou hung his head in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't quite understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn't mind either, he just became a bit more talkative as he got older.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never needed to do anything specifically, as long as he wanted to, he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go,\" Jiang Hao said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped out with Cheng Chou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly appearing amidst the horde of demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the instant Jiang Hao arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless powerful demons died instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every step Jiang Hao took, Cheng Chou watched as row after row of demons fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, Mo Dan and the others pushed forward invincibly, as if they were about to break through everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until all the demonic horde fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao and Cheng Chou had already disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Dan and his group collapsed from exhaustion, unaware of what had happened, but they knew they had completely dealt with the demonic horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had survived an attack from the demon tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, did fellow disciple Jiang go to notify anyone?\" Mo Dan suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking around, they found no one there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ran away, the coward,\" someone joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was very dangerous anyway, we were too aggressive,\" Mo Dan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were talking, a group of people flew over from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly middle-aged men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the people arriving, Mo Dan and the others waved excitedly: \"Uncle-Master, over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon a middle-aged man landed before them, furrowing his brow and scolding: \"Have you gone mad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle-Master, what are you talking about? Aren't we fine?\" Mo Dan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, we started fighting as soon as we saw the demon tribe attacking, and two fellow disciples were so scared they ran off somewhere,\" a fairy guard said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man then had people go check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he returned with a sullen face: \"What? You bunch of Primordial Spirit and Golden Core disciples, effortlessly killing Immortal Ascension monsters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your formation can cross Spirit Refinement Realm, Return to Void, and kill Immortal Ascension? \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words from the middle-aged man stunned Mo Dan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And two fellow disciples ran away? It's likely that if it weren't for them, you wouldn't know how many times you'd be dead by now,\" the middle-aged man said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also look at yourselves, the lifeblood of the surrounding demonic beings is ceaselessly nurturing you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your cultivation is advancing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you achieve this on your own?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You ignorant youngsters, you've encountered a true senior and yet remain unaware,\" he said sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words left Mo Dan and the others astonished, with some disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then standing up, they saw countless demons had died in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed, not by their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling those two, Mo Dan was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't remember what they looked like, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also tried to recall immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found they couldn't remember either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was his name?\" the middle-aged man asked immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Dan started to speak the name, but soon he was stunned: \"What was it called?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man broke into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1075,"2026-06-03T11:46:39.407Z","2026-06-03T11:46:42.636Z",1,"novelbin.me","a7a974c497526fc264d6794208782b312dbd508430406ac8f87a4801c6703e81","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1655","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1653",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
