He died right in front of Ming Zuoquan, and he couldn’t even do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt shocked and powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming Zuoquan was at the Golden Core Realm. He calmed himself and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the next second, a saber stabbed him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robe on his body protected him. Ming Zuoquan sighed in relief. He didn’t waste any time. He started to gather his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple light flashed. His defense shattered and his robe disintegrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-white blade pierced through Ming Zuoquan’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks had happened so fast that there was only a difference of a few seconds between Li Kai’s death and Ming Zuoquan’s fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, I’m willing to submit to you. I’ll work for you,” said Ming Zuoquan. He didn’t want to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Not in this life.” The black saber also emanated purple energy as it slashed Ming Zuoquan’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… I’m a formidable disciple…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saber flashed again. This time, Jiang Hao used the second form of the Heavenly Blade: Mountain Suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming Zuoquan was cut into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even formidable disciples have just one life,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then left with the storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at the storage treasure. It had belonged to Li Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inspected the place but found no other treasures inside. He didn’t find any clue about Bai Ye either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I wonder who he is…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming Zuoquan was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. Bai Ye might be even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I might not be able to deal with Bai Ye right now…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn’t wait any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he attacked Ming Zuoquan, he had used the Daily Appraisal on him. However, he had learned nothing important from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘There are a total of 1,600 spirit stones,’ thought Jiang Has as he looked into the storage treasure. ‘I paid 500… so who are these from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao asked around and found out that at least four other people had been tricked. It was a pity that people tried to do this sort of thing. The guardians of the Spirit Herb Gardens volunteered to work in exchange for sect resources. ‘Speaking of which, I haven’t received any resources for a long time…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking the spirit stones and the 3,000 black pearls, Jiang Hao destroyed the storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have to face another investigation by the Law Enforcement Hall later. He didn’t know how serious the death of a formidable disciple was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only wait for Liu Xingchen to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he returned to his house to practice the new divine ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Jiang Hao opened his eyes and felt instantly re-energized. The power stored in the new ability really did wonders for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This is truly amazing!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just used the Reappearance part of the new ability. The surge in power he felt was extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost wanted someone in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm to provoke him so that he could test his new power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao caught himself. He couldn’t afford to be reckless. The Reappearance of Hidden Spirit Ability would be his trump card. He wouldn’t use it as he pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Divine abilities are so useful. I wonder how long it’ll take me to collect purple bubbles again…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao walked out of his house after storing his power in the Hidden Spirit in the middle of his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit beast was already waiting for him in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You woke up so early today,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master… something has happened,” said the spirit beast. It sprinted up to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao to show him its collar. “Look.. it’s cracked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then don’t wear it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! If I don’t wear it, how will others know that I’m your spirit beast?” The spirit beast was anxious. “Master, buy another one for me. If you do, I’ll tell you something important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A collar would cost him more than a thousand spirit stones. Jiang Hao sighed. It was just too pricey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the spirit beast was right. If he didn’t get it a collar soon, others would target the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had 1,900 spirit stones in total. If he spent 1000 on a new collar, he would be left with only 900.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn’t even know if he could afford more tea leaves for the demoness. Jiang Hao decided to go to the market next time and decide there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appraised the black pearls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Nutrient Pearl: Bai Ye’s masterpiece. It’s a product he developed in order to advance. It can provide nutrients to the soil and can also cause spiritual energy to increase abnormally.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ye again! Jiang Hao was curious about what realm the person belonged to. He was definitely someone knowledgeable if he could develop such devices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao wondered if he would get in trouble for taking so many nutrient pearls. It was better to advance to the next stage as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao walked out of the courtyard to head to the Spirit Herb Garden and ran into Lui Xingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was followed by two other Law Enforcement Hall disciples. All three looked very solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao felt uneasy. He thought there would be at least a few days before they sought him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Brother Jiang, we meet again…” Liu Xingchen looked very serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Liu, hello! What brings you here?” asked Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There was… an accident. We are searching for a murderer. We need to observe the people related to the victims for a few days,” said Liu Xingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao realized that the death of a formidable disciple in the Golden Core Realm was a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this victim is somehow related to me?” asked Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Remotely, I should say,” said Liu Xingchen. “You need to come with us. Before we go, could we take a look inside your house? It’s part of the process. I hope you don’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xingchen turned to the other two people behind him. “Go in and search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please be considerate. Don’t damage his things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xingchen didn’t follow them inside. He stood near Jiang Hao. “Is there anything significant in your storage treasure, Junior Brother Jiang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao’s heart sank, but he didn’t dare show any emotion on his face. He remained calm. “Nothing much. A few talismans, medicinal pills, and some spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good, ” said Liu Xingchen casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you venture to any places which are guarded, they will check your storage treasure. I’m just informing you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was shocked. Things had indeed turned very serious..\u003C\u002Fp>",1126,"2026-06-03T11:45:44.968Z","2026-06-03T11:45:50.889Z",1,"novelbin.me","55d21c411a63a1cc4791d28d604c2c01b7701a36a1d9e60aa37d1da3c8de2b1b","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-85","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-83",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
