At the foot of the mountain, there was a crowd of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng stood at the forefront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Disciple Smiling San Sheng,” he said when he saw Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they didn’t know who the person at the top was, the clan said that they were going to fight against the curse this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person must be related to the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it had nothing to do with the curse, he was not someone they could offend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the clan leader was so respectful toward that person, which was enough to explain how important he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlight, Jiang Hao looked down from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of the Shangguan Clan all staring at him put him under a lot of pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if these people’s combat strength was inferior to his, they weren’t ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he released his power and checked the array formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming that there was no mistake, he smiled. “All we need to do now is wait. Tonight will be the night for a new start to your lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the core of the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a room there. Outsiders did not know what was going on inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao could feel that the people below were a little nervous. He was also very nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fate of this clan was in his hands. Unknowingly, he had already become so strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there were many powerful people in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not be arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to continue waiting. The longer he waited, the stronger he would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His future was still promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao calmed down. He hadn’t taken out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to sense the emotions and movements of the people below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt confusion, helplessness, and excitement from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day of the curse’s outbreak. Some people still didn’t understand why this was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it be useful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were against it, especially the women. The pain made them miserable, and they didn’t want others to see them like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao could feel the sadness and desolation of the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was helpless. This was how it was supposed to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised him was that there were many young children in the crowd, who were swaddled in their mothers’ arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these people were tormented by the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The human world is suffering. Whether ordinary people or cultivators… they all struggled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think too much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by. Some felt like it had been a year, while others passed by in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao opened his eyes when he sensed the power of the curse spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s starting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curse began to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know if it was because of the curse gathering, but he could feel that the curse was much stronger this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu also noticed that this curse was different from the past. It was similar to what she had experienced in the Heavenly Note Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was a little strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the curse knew that their race was going to fight and began a counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she was excited, but she was also worried that Smiling San Sheng would fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng was even more worried. She felt the anger of the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they failed, they would have to face the worst of the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scorching heat appeared between their brows, and then it began to extend at a speed that they had never encountered before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, they panicked, as if their lives might end here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even screamed in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was worry, fear, and despair on everyone’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as they thought that the curse was about to erupt, a red light suddenly appeared in the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the curse retreated at a speed visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people who were screaming were at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had happened to the curse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingsu took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was completely different from before. It was as if it was about to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought that even if the curse could be suppressed, it would be painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, it was gone in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like many times before, this person had helped get rid of the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This proved that he was indeed able to get rid of the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because they did not fully agree to the conditions, he only used a portion of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng felt the difference. He did not regret his choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could suppress it, it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the others, they were surprised and delighted. They were still in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything happened too suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao sat cross-legged on the ground with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was suppressing the curse, he felt a wave of pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cursed passage was forming under the array, and something could erupt at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jiang Hao knew that something unexpected was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, the Heavenly Blade, and the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Heavens Battle Armor appeared around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was facing a strong enemy, so he had to go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just didn’t know when the other party would make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he could vaguely sense something in the cursed passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a sword’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Heavenly Note Sect, Baizhi and the others were guarding the mines. Everyone had been evacuated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ku Wu Chang and the others followed behind Baizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew that something was going to happen tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kendo laughed. “I finally feel like I’ve found something important. It seems like your path of retreat has been blocked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the very beginning, Kendo hadn’t felt like they were facing a real opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-03T11:46:09.612Z","2026-06-03T11:46:12.506Z",1,"novelbin.me","dd870b68b3358a113c48ad2f7cf23e67f120484efb0981f3a2011e136dcea106","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-964","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-962",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
