He looked at the envelope in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Luo Zhong sent me a letter?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Luo thanks you for the invitation you gave him in the past. He is finally able to repay you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The junior brother from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao also recalled the senior he had sold the invitation card to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ah… I did ask him to do something. I didn’t expect him to actually do it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, he put away the envelope and planned to read it on his way to the Lawless Tower later at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little incident didn’t interest the other three. They continued guarding the mountain gate as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, when it was time for his rest, Jiang Hao left on his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he took out the envelope and started reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he read, he was quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey was very well-documented, with some twists and turns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real story began when they entered the Imperial City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhong heard that someone was going to replace the royal family, and he happened to be discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party was incredibly strong. It was someone he couldn’t resist at all. Fortunately, that person wasn’t there to kill but to perform a sacrifice. A sacrifice of a living person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luo Zhong realized this, he found himself bound to a sacrificial altar pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent events were blurred. Many people were unfamiliar with Luo Zhong, and he only knew that the people here were attempting to take something from the royal family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shangguan family was cooperating with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midway, they were discovered by the royal family, who seemed to have set a trap, but these people had more tricks up their sleeves. They even managed to turn some members of the royal family to their side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the royal family was severely injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, someone appeared. This person was as dazzling as a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>galaxy. However, a hand emerged from the void and blocked this powerful person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle lasted for several months. Originally, the royal family was bound to lose, but unexpectedly, someone else intervened and gave the royal family a chance to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a balance was achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the one who broke this balance was a man descending from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carried a poisonous aura and had an ugly appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his arrival was like a gentle breeze that radiated the brilliance of a sage and suppressed everyone below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he apologized to everyone and then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of kindness, he saved all the people who were bound, including Luo Zhong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised and continued reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he read that due to his good luck, Luo Zhong had the opportunity to confront the person and inquire about his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitor was called Shang An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Shang An is in the south?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao instinctively stopped. He felt worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sealed the Charm Goddess back then, and there was a certain conflict with Shang An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shang An came looking for trouble, he didn’t know how to explain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, it wasn’t a big deal. A person in the east and another in the south…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they would rarely interact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Shang An had come to the south, it was a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Shang An wouldn’t likely do anything, strong cultivators were still powerful and unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed slightly. Jiang Hao felt that he should upgrade his strength as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn’t plan to change his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he would learn the Heaven Lock Technique first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the things weren’t as significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Shang An interference, the initiative was seized by the royal family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, things calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhong also found the person he agreed to meet and left together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was living in a secluded place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ho also wanted to find a secluded place where no one would disturb him. He would tend to his spirit herbs and find mines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, that was unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed at himself and then arrived at the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arrival, he noticed that Hai Luo seemed a bit dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was a gleam in his eyes as if he was secretly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn’t know what he was thinking and didn’t ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he sat cross-legged in front of the third cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Yue frowned. This time, she didn’t feel anything. No storms or fluctuations like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two also didn’t understand what Jiang Hao was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Jiang Hao found that elusive feeling in the Lawless Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was like an ordinary person facing the air. One knew that air existed but could never really see or concretely grasp it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost an hour later, Jiang Hao left the Lawless Tower, watered the flowers in the courtyard, and then came to the mountain gate position, closing his eyes to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to sense the feeling in the Lawless Tower. Once he lost that feeling, all his previous efforts would be in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month later, in early December, Jiang Hao looked at his interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lifeblood: 100\u002F100 (Can be cultivated)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cultivation: 100\u002F100 (Can be cultivated)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could advance, but he felt that he was about to grasp that elusive feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was possible to learn the Heaven Lock Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another month went by. In early January, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged in the Lawless Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was calm and serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hai Luo and others were bewildered by Jiang Hao’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea what he was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Yue didn’t speak up, but she felt that the person staring at her was extremely unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was unaware of what the others felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he felt as if he were standing in an infinite void. A wisp of white smoke floated around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the key to the Heaven Lock Technique. Jiang Hao wanted to grasp it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out his hand incessantly to catch it, but he couldn’t get it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he sensed the change in the aura and understood the extension of the technique, he couldn’t obtain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how long had passed when he put down his raised hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gained some understanding and felt some relief. He then opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven Lock Technique that had been stagnant in his body began to circulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was born out of persistence. The Heaven Lock Technique was this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the higher level of the Lawless Tower, Yinsha, who was resting, suddenly opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a sense of urgency guiding her. It told her to go and meet someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always been curious about who was important enough to attract the attention of the person deep in the Sea Fog Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, she thought she had to leave the Lawless Tower, or even leave the Heavenly Note Sect to find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she arrived at the fifth floor, she found that the urgency was intense, especially inside the fifth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible?” Yinsha was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been to the fifth floor many times. If that person was there, why wait until now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until she saw a somewhat familiar figure that she realized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning, he had mentioned a figure, but others hadn’t seen anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should have thought of it earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the figure turned around and greeted her. “Senior Sister Yinsha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Yinsha felt the restraint on her body beginning to loosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s something I need to tell you,” said Yinsha. “It’s from someone in the depths of the Sea Fog Cave. He left a message for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all this time, she could finally say it..\u003C\u002Fp>",1320,"2026-06-03T11:45:57.332Z","2026-06-03T11:46:04.652Z",1,"novelbin.me","b83342307579a7a6caf7376c14bdbf0fbfed3f84ba5fc59f7af5eec9f2350da2","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-550","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-548",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
