Did they find anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, in a mountain, they have discovered some rooms, and there are also some documents. Continuing further in should reveal more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So far, it’s all records about the Corpse Realm.” Yan Yuezhi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it was information obtained by the Tianji Dynasty, no specific details were known yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Hao was in no hurry, as he would definitely enter the Corpse Realm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To explore deeper things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Corpse Realm had indeed changed; it had been decades since its last opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sign of it closing either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning that if something were to come out, it couldn’t be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Jiang Hao followed Yan Yuezhi to the gate of the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As per usual, she lightly knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the gate slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Yan Yuezhi continued to lead the way. When entering the threshold, it unexpectedly moved back a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao and the Heavenly Note Sect behind her were also a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never seen a threshold move back before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are quite a few tricks at the Western Astronomical Academy,” the Heavenly Note Sect said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao smiled awkwardly, “Indeed, it’s a bit too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi, however, was adept at this and spent some time getting through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after entering, Jiang Hao found they had fallen into a trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by passing the trial could they proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Note Sect turned to Jiang Hao and said, “Is he initiating a trial for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao shook his head slightly, “He doesn’t know we are here, he only knows Yan Miss is here, so it’s likely a trial for her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgive me, seniors, but I can pass through with a bit of time,” Yan Yuezhi softly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t too worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two didn’t want to be discovered and didn’t directly break the trial, probably wanting to let things take their course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yan Ruyu just methodically broke through the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later, she exited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much faster than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because Jiang Hao and the Heavenly Note Sect occasionally gave her a tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the three appeared at the place where Jing Dajiang was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jing Dajiang was lying in a rocking chair, looking at the sky and sipping from a teapot, casually remarking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little girl, your speed has improved quite a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two people originally playing chess glanced at the newcomers and felt an inexplicable sense of dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they saw an ancient entity, a senior they dared not look at directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Involuntarily, they stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ruyu calmly said, “Indeed, a bit faster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still too slow. Go out and break in again.” Jing Dajiang couldn’t be bothered to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi said, “Student has something to report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to hear it, go break in again,” Jing Dajiang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tired of hearing the same thing every year, no one came through, and he didn’t want to see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yan Yuezhi didn’t speak, just stood quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking there was no one, Jing Dajiang was about to make the two beside him chase her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at them and saw they had suddenly stood up, looking respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who at the Western Astronomical Academy do you need to show respect to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s still deserving of your respect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he turned to look at Yan Yuezhi, he didn’t see her respectful demeanor but saw a smiling man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he saw him, Jing Dajiang felt an inexplicable dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if encountering a natural enemy, he shot to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jiang Hao smiled slightly, “This place isn’t suitable, let’s change the location.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of Jiang Hao’s hand, everyone appeared in a sealed-off courtyard in the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a place even the headmaster couldn’t set foot in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi trembled upon seeing Jing Dajiang and the two others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao walked to the table in the courtyard, asking the Heavenly Note Sect to sit down, and then sat down himself, starting to brew tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the tea was brewed, Jiang Hao raised a cup and looked at Jing Dajiang and the others still standing, calmly saying, “You all come to my courtyard, don’t you have something to say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This month is the last month of the year, so let’s ask for monthly passes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you!!!\u003C\u002Fp>",1699,"2026-06-03T11:46:51.153Z","2026-06-03T11:46:52.494Z",1,"novelbin.me","3d1d311b00566dd3e0044d7b0542d40fe787e2f251e4be3e3f02d2eb12de2dfc","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-2039","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-2037",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
