Put the fish back in the water.” Perhaps it could speak in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green fish was thrown back into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was happily swimming and started to blow bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bubbles were arranged in a pattern. But they were quickly dispersed by the flowing water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once cheerful green fish looked anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao gently waved his hand, and the river water around the green fish stopped flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to stand alone from the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green fish began happily blowing bubbles again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, these bubbles formed a sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Benefactor, what do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did it seem like the fish thought he was asking for a reward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have to ask about the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl, the fish already knew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, why did the fish ask what he wanted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao couldn’t help but marvel at the fish’s somewhat limited intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and conveyed his message: he didn’t want any reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he would stick to just that. Otherwise, it could easily lead to misunderstandings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After restoring the river water, Jiang Hao let the green fish leave. The spirit beast was silent for a moment. “Master, it can read!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you know how to read?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everybody knows about me. I don’t have to bother,” said the spirit beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao glanced at it and didn’t say much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Primordial Spirit Realm demon, and there was no reason for it to learn to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drawing some talismans in the courtyard, Jiang Hao left for the mountain gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before leaving, he asked about Lin Zhi’s situation. “I had him go mining,” said the spirit beast indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mining?” Jiang Hao was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, to the mining cave. There are more people to beat him there, which can improve his ability to withstand beatings,” the spirit beast said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he didn’t ask how it sent him there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would only spout some nonsense about being a great demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao wished he could go to the mines too. But he would only be able to go if his master or a senior assigned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if he went there, he might attract the attention of Hong Yuye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Jiang Hao was waiting for news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blackheaven Sect would definitely not let this matter slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost an important person, they would definitely find a scapegoat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from the Law Enforcement Hall would have to give an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, things might break down and could easily lead to a direct war. The Heavenly Note Sect was unwilling to engage in major conflicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Hao didn’t wait for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall. Instead, he encountered people from the Blackheaven Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword descended from the sky. An angry man flew down on it. “You monster, prepare to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light blossomed, and the momentum surged as it targeted Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this sudden attack, Nan Yushu and the others were quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea why this person was attacking them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao understood, but he pretended to be confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even if he was confused, he couldn’t just let himself be slaughtered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Moon Blade came out of its sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used Demonic Sound Slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light sword attacked, and the two forces nullified each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tremendous impact made him retreat a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he finally got a clear look at the assailant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a young man. He was standing in midair, with various spiritual lights around him. His aura was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness as he held his sword ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao knew that this was an impulsive disciple, but no one stopped him, which was surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demonic Sound Slash? It was indeed you,” said the person confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friend, is there a misunderstanding between us?” Jiang Hao said politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Misunderstanding? You monster of the demonic path! Today, I will avenge Junior Brother Murong,” the person said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the people behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow juniors, follow me to subdue this monster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a total of six people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakest was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They all responded with an affirmative and came to stand behind their senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all unsheathed their long swords, and for a moment, the seven swords united to form an attack formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful aura erupted. They pointed their swords at Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao furrowed his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unbelievable. They were so impulsive that they would attempt to kill him based solely on a Demon Sound Slash Technique that might have been used by anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really didn’t regard themselves as outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, such an attack couldn’t be brushed under the rug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flash of swords came towards him, and Jiang Hao frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demonic Sound Slash operated at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Moon Blade swung and attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was constantly forced back, but they didn’t deal any substantial damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only counterattack during brief pauses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven sword strikes were indeed formidable and almost flawless. They hardly left him with any opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword light and sword shadows collided and burst with power in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people below were somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nan Yushu and the others didn’t rush to make a move. They wanted to see how this would unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, they didn’t know what had happened, and intervening rashly could easily cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that Jiang Hao was about to be defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s very strong. Even if he is defeated, it would be justified, ” said Kong Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four were at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many people had joined to defeat one person. It was admirable on Jiang Hao’s part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve always heard that the Blood Wish Path can help with a rapid breakthrough in cultivation but has an unstable foundation. Now it seems that was a bit inaccurate,” Xia Cun said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a collision of swords and a blade in the air. At that moment, Jiang Hao finally saw the opponent’s weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of retreating, he moved forward, evaded the opponent’s attack, and arrived next to the opponent. He then swung his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Moon Blade descended, swiftly and decisively. It severed the hand of the man holding the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden change left the opponent astonished. They were unable to understand what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, anger filled his eyes. When he was about to counter with his techniques, moonlight emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cut shattered his neck, and blood gushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a figure appeared above him, and a foot stepped on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man lost his balance and fell to the ground heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weakness and intense pain turned into fear and spread throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that everything was happening beyond his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood began to spread. He felt death approaching..\u003C\u002Fp>",1290,"2026-06-03T11:45:59.887Z","2026-06-03T11:46:04.901Z",1,"novelbin.me","b85b0ff087fa10611b1342d6ebe4719a0894b09658e1fa3ae057a26bdedb6335","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-561","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-559",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
