Or would they spend an eternity in pain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All kinds of questions filled their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time went by, they became even more anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden ring glowed, and a voice said, “It seems like you all are ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu heaved a sigh of relief. It was Smiling San Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao descended from the sky and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people had not told him of the location, so he had taken some time to find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had almost missed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Do they think I’m omnipotent?’ Jiang Hao sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all waiting for him here while he was helplessly wandering around looking for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the backyard of the Shangguan Clan. It was close to the mountains and the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain peak was the core of the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core was placed in a hidden place according to the requirements, and no one could spy on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enter the array formation,” Jiang Hao said as he walked straight to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we need to do?” Shangguan Qicheng hurriedly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to do anything,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng was surprised. He couldn’t believe that they only had to walk into the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t he need to use all his strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the ten people found a place to sit cross-legged in the array and waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was both excited and nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even know what to do with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three young men looked left and right in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jiang Hao was sitting cross-legged in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the bead of Blood Pool and used the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to guide its flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Pool’s ability had reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he could replace the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl would depend on tonight’s result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this worked, he could just leave the bead behind and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it didn’t work, then he would need the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to hold the pearl in his hand. If something went wrong, it would be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time came, Jiang Hao saw the light of the curse appear between the eyebrows of the ten people, and it began to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Blood Pool emitted a light that suppressed the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Pool and the curse seemed to be fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unlike the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. It forced the curse to retreat with crushing force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Shangguan Qicheng was gritting his teeth and preparing for the pain to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew the pain was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warmth between the brows lasted for a long time, but there was no pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did they realize that the curse wasn’t affecting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dawn came, the curse dissipated entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were astonished that the pain they had dealt with all this time was miraculously gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had suffered through the pain of the curse since their birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pain was gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu felt strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suppression of the curse this time felt different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know if it was because there were too many people or because the clan didn’t fully agree to his conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you feel it?” Jiang Hao got up and walked out of the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the ten people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curse had always been a confidential thing. They never talked about it with outsiders until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng looked at the person in front of him. He didn’t know what to say for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if it was just a coincidence and maybe the curse was gone naturally. But he didn’t dare say that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The next time the curse takes effect, should we do it for the entire clan?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to make this happen as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone agreed, it would be easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.” Jiang Hao nodded. “I remember that I agreed to do it for your entire clan anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can move the thing I gave you,” he said and looked at Shangguan Qingsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her head and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, they were not allowed to come up here again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was a problem, he would no longer help them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, before the curse acted up again, everyone needed to be present for it to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao opened his fan and smiled. “We’ll meet again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words “Unparalleled in the World” flashed on the fan before he disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Shangguan Qicheng and the others headed out. They saw their remaining clansmen in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were exhausted. If a fight broke out, they would all be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng clenched his fists and power burst out from his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally realized how exhilarating it was to have the power to do something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ordered the array formation to be expanded to accommodate all people of the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, he told them no one was allowed to go up to the peak of the mountain where the core of the formation was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao returned to his house and heaved a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just had to wait for the next curse to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time, he would work with Gui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to wait for the gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was no gathering, he would have to make a trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was Jing’s “spokesperson,” so Gui would believe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it would be better if there was a gathering soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to face Kendo while going to meet Gui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never gone to the mines after the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a little anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to wait. If the gathering didn’t happen, he would make that trip to meet Gui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last batch of spirit herb seeds would germinate in the next few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he would look at the selection process for the top disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be a lot of people participating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would begin at the end of this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, he had to speed up the collection of blood for the Blood Wish Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to let people know that he was planning to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trip to go outside the sect was also for him to improve himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao waited patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the mines, Kendo frowned. “The situation has changed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu was cultivating nearby. “What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been here for a long time, and there had been no changes. She was naturally curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had asked about a lot of things but didn’t get any more information that was valuable, except about the Heavenly Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Changsheng seems to be in trouble. I can feel his emotions fluctuating, but it’s not very serious.” Kendo thought for a moment and said, “But I can’t understand why. He wasn’t acting like this before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu pondered for a moment and recalled Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be because of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Jiang Hao received an alert for a gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-03T11:46:09.612Z","2026-06-03T11:46:12.506Z",1,"novelbin.me","b086074093209484d9ec6d4a7df2ce138988dbfdac9389dff1fa8ce2f7518a51","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-960","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-958",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
