Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 241 - Caught an Undercover Agent

Chapter 241: Caught an Undercover Agent

Noon. Duanqing Cliff outer sect.

After Chu Chuan finished his own tasks, he began to practice the Tianyin Hundred Revolutions movement technique.

The technique he was practicing now was a set of boxing moves.

He practiced regularly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

His current goal was to land a punch on Lord Rabbit and Senior Sister Xiao Li.

Over the past two years, he didn’t know how he had managed to get by.

In any case, he was always under their shadow.

When he finished his practice, he discovered that someone had appeared behind him at some unknown time.

It was Jiang Hao, who had come over after taking care of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

“Senior Brother?” Chu Chuan said, surprised.

He had hardly seen Jiang Hao in these two years.

“Rabbit and Xiao Li are out today, so I’m here to check on your progress,” Jiang Hao said, breaking off a tree branch from the side.

“So that’s why Lord Rabbit hasn’t been here for so many days,” Chu Chuan said, nodding in realization.

Chu Chuan, although still somewhat green, had grown quite a bit.

With the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Refining, he didn’t look like a weak child at all.

He was completely different from more than two years ago.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao also felt quite emotional.

Unknowingly, two whole years had passed.

“Senior Brother, shall I make a move?” Chu Chuan took a deep breath, ready to start.

“Mhm,” Jiang Hao nodded.

As soon as the words fell, Chu Chuan stepped forward, and with a whoosh, he reached Jiang Hao in the blink of an eye and threw a punch.

Facing such an attack, Jiang Hao didn’t dodge but simply moved the tree branch.

Whoosh!

A crisp sound rang out as the tree branch struck Chu Chuan’s fist, forcing it to change direction.

Chu Chuan then took the opportunity to kick.

However, he was met with the tree branch again.

With a whoosh, Chu Chuan’s kick was repelled, but he wasn’t discouraged and continued to attack.

His speed increased.

Jiang Hao stood firm, simply using the tree branch to respond.

From front to back, left to right, he didn’t even turn his head.

Chu Chuan became more and more vigorous as he fought, his strength increasing.

After fists and feet came the use of various techniques, a full-scale attack.

For the first time in over two years, he felt exhilaratingly unrestrained.

It wasn’t until Jiang Hao finished feeding him moves that he began to counterattack.

The tree branch, like a stick, struck Chu Chuan’s chest, forcing him to retreat:

“Your breath is unstable, and your technique circulation is poor.”

Then he struck the sweeping kick that came at him, causing Chu Chuan to stand unsteadily in pain.

“Your moves are rigid, your posture is incorrect, and you’re not releasing the power from your waist.”

Then came a technique attack.

It was instantly resolved.

“Your technique application is decent, but not proficient enough.”

Back and forth, Jiang Hao struck Chu Chuan all over his body.

He beat him until he crouched on the ground.

Incidentally, he pointed out all his flaws.

Finally, he put down the tree branch and said.

“Overall, you’ve advanced too quickly, which has caused other areas to lag behind. Your foundation is not solid enough.”

Chu Chuan sat on the ground, touching his injuries, and asked curiously.

“Senior Brother, am I considered strong?”

“It depends on who you compare yourself to,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

“Compared to an ordinary outer disciple, you’re certainly better. Compared to your childhood friend, you’re slightly inferior.”

“Only slightly?” Chu Chuan was quite surprised.

“Is that little?” Jiang Hao smiled and said.

“Perhaps that slight difference is something you’ll never catch up to in your lifetime.”

“What is Xiao Jie’s current level of cultivation?” Chu Chuan looked at Jiang Hao, full of expectation.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Hao slowly spoke.

“If she focused solely on improving her cultivation, she should be at the sixth level of Qi Refining. If she is consolidating her realm, she should be at the fifth level.”

Chu Chuan was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and Zhao Qingxue was also at the fourth level. Chu Jie, with higher talent, being at the fifth level was not excessive.

Moreover, Mingyue Sect was not weaker than Haotian Sect, with profound foundations, so adding another level was not too much.

This was under the condition of full-force promotion.

But he didn’t think it would be the case, as the most important thing for a promising seedling was the foundation.

There was no need to advance too quickly in the early stages.

Chu Chuan was like this because of his temperament; it was better for him to advance.

“Is she that strong?” Chu Chuan said with a joyful face, the

n asked, “Senior Brother, when can I go see Xiao Jie?”

“In a few years, if you can advance to Foundation Establishment, that would be best,” Jiang Hao said indifferently.

“Will you go then, Senior Brother?” Chu Chuan asked again.

He himself didn’t dare to go.

Jiang Hao shook his head and did not speak.

In theory, he wouldn’t go, but with the Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth and the Heavenly Secret Concealment Talisman, he would have a three-day safety period outside.

Jiang Hao couldn’t leave the sect without using the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman and the Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth.

Venturing out would likely attract unwanted attention, making it too risky.

After checking on Chu Chuan’s progress, Jiang Hao made his way to the outer sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Some representatives of the various factions had changed, but Xia Cheng was still there.

The number of cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage had increased as well.

Upon Jiang Hao’s arrival, some people came over to greet him, though their manner was somewhat sarcastic, as if they didn’t quite respect him.

Jiang Hao wasn’t sure if their lack of respect was directed at Xia Cheng’s politeness or if they were begrudging the credit for the Corpse Realm Flower to him.

Regardless, since they hadn’t done anything yet, there was no need to pay them any mind.

It was best to visit less often if there was no reason to come.

When leaving, Jiang Hao headed straight for the Lawless Tower to see Zhuang Yuzhen, hoping to learn something more from him.

It was important to visit occasionally, especially since Elder Bai Zhi was keeping an eye on him.

Being proactive could save him a lot of trouble.

On his way, he encountered Liu Xingchen.

“I was just about to look for Junior Brother; I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

“Do you need something, Senior Brother?”

Jiang Hao asked, knowing that Liu Xingchen usually approached him when there was a matter to discuss.

“Indeed, there is something,” Liu Xingchen nodded and continued.

“Remember the issue with your resources being seized? The five-year period is up next month.” freewёbnoνel.com

“Can I claim them now?” Jiang Hao inquired.

Forty spirit stones were not a small number, and fifty were given for a complete Foundation Establishment.

“It would have been possible, but recently someone from Tianhuan Pavilion came looking for us,” Liu Xingchen said with a hint of helplessness.

“I’m not clear on the specifics, but they arrived in a rather aggressive state. In the end, the Hall of Enforcement decided to punish you again by extending the deprivation of your cultivation resources for another three years.”

Jiang Hao fell silent.

His resources had been seized again.

He could only accept it, fortunately, the impact wasn’t significant.

“It seems Junior Brother doesn’t care much. I advise you to act as if you do care, perhaps even go to your master and complain. The more you seem to care, the more satisfied they will feel,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile, offering his advice.

Naturally, Jiang Hao had no intention of doing so, as he wasn’t a true disciple.

Making a fuss could easily lead to his master’s displeasure, which would be counterproductive, especially since he had already received five thousand spirit stones last time.

It was better to remain out of sight of the people from Tianhuan Pavilion for now.

The seizure of his resources this time might have been related to his encounter with the Pavilion Master of Tianhuan Pavilion at the Lawless Tower, particularly since he had been in a joyful mood at the time.

“By the way, there’s another interesting piece of news,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.

“Have you been missing recently? Someone approached your place late at night and was spotted by the Hall of Enforcement.”

“After an investigation, it turned out that the person was an undercover agent from the Luoxia Sect. He insisted that he was there to meet with you. Now, your suspicion has increased, and you may need to cooperate with our investigation soon. Of course, this won’t affect your missions outside the sect. If you fail, you’ll still have to pay the compensation.”

“What if they come looking for me and I’ve just left the sect?” Jiang Hao asked.

“If they can’t find you, it could be a serious problem. You might face a hefty compensation,” Liu Xingchen replied.

Jiang Hao: “...”
