Chapter 1289: As an Elder Brother, He Would Not Make His Younger Brother Suffer (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao felt the powerful sword aura.

He was an expert from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.

In the past, he could not perceive it, but as a True Immortal, the presence was unmistakably vast like an ocean.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

He had encountered such an expert, and yet he had not been able to understand it fully before. Luckily, he had no beef with such a powerful person. They barely knew each other.

“Jiang Hao from The Cliff of Broken Hearts?” Kendo was surprised.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Why did this person remember him?

Although they had talked a few times, it was unexpected for such a powerful person to remember someone like him, especially after decades.

The treasure on their carriage should not interest someone of his caliber, but if it did, Jiang Hao would rather give it up.

Punishment for failing a mission was trivial compared to making an enemy of Kendo, which would be a death sentence.

The higher one’s cultivation, the more one realized the strength of such individuals.

“Greetings, Senior.” Jiang Hao immediately got out of the carriage and bowed respectfully.

“What are you transporting?” Kendo asked.

“It’s a treasure required by our sect. If you are curious, you are welcome to inspect it,” Jiang Hao said.

Zheng s.h.i.+jiu and the others were puzzled. What kind of senior was this? They could not tell.

“That’s alright. Since you’re heading back to your sect, may I travel together with you?” Kendo asked with a smile.

He stood by the roadside like a gentleman.

Jiang Hao could not see his cultivation realm.

“Of course. It would be our honor,” said Jiang Hao after hesitating for a moment.

“It’s fine.” Kendo jumped onto the carriage.

He did not care about the mundane mode of transport.

Jiang Hao did not say anything but let the team continue on their way.

Jiang Hao did not deal with the surrounding threats, as Kendo handled them all.

He did not seem to want to be disturbed.

On the way, Kendo asked, “Has your sect encountered anything strange recently?”

“Strange?” Jiang Hao asked.

He thought for a long time and could only shake his head.

Other than the appearance of treasure in the mine, there was nothing unusual.

“Senior, why are you visiting the Heavenly Note Sect?” Jiang Hao asked.

Kendo smiled meaningfully. “I need to find someone and deliver something to them.”

Jiang Hao was surprised that such a powerful person was needed to deliver something. He wondered what it was.

“Senior, who are you looking for?” Jiang Hao asked.

“You’ll know when we reach the Heavenly Note Sect. What’s your current cultivation realm?” Kendo asked.

“Late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm,” Jiang Hao said.

“Late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm?” Kendo was surprised. “You’ve advanced quickly.”

“I was just lucky,” Jiang Hao said modestly.

“Too bad you don’t practice swordsmans.h.i.+p, otherwise I could teach you. If you became famous in the future, I’d have a share in the credit,” Kendo said with a smile.

‘Even the most powerful person can’t compare to you.’ Jiang Hao thought to himself.

Who could compare to Kendo?

But was this person not searching for opportunities?

He did not seem ancient. There were bound to be endless possibilities in the future for him.

Was it worth it to give up the opportunity just like that?

It was not the first time Kendo had ventured out, so he definitely would not gain many opportunities.

Moreover, Jiang Hao still owed the Mountain Sea Sword Sect a great debt, which would probably come due after the Great Era.

Paying it off would not be easy, but it had to be done eventually.

First, he needed to improve his cultivation to have the means to repay it.

For the next few days, Kendo talked with them occasionally and helped them with their cultivation.

It was a great opportunity and benefit for Jiang Hao and the others.

However, there was a price to pay for everything. He usually helped capture beasts and roast them for Kendo to eat.

Along the way, Kendo was pleased. He ate and drank wine. Sometimes, they stopped at nearby cities for liquor.

At the end of December, they finally arrived at the Heavenly Note Sect.

After handing the item over to the sect, Jiang Hao completed his mission.

The sect’s mission and the escort mission had been completed.

Unfortunately, all the spirit stones he earned were paid to the Task Hall because he had exceeded the time limit.

The only thing he earned was a disciple for the Cliff of Broken Hearts and a thousand spirit stones for helping the old man.

The rest were just abnormal resources.

The other resources were unaccounted for, but the Longevity Fruit, Dao insights, and the manual from Hong Yuye were priceless.

The one who was happiest about this mission was probably the Senior Sister at the Task Hall since the hall had earned a lot of spirit stones.

Fortunately, he still had more than three million spirit stones left.

When he returned to the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Hao went to meet his Master to inform him about the mission’s outcome.

The Cliff Master only nodded and did not say anything.

Arrangements had been made for the Fallen Moon Sect disciple.

After leaving his Master’s residence, Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb Garden.

Cheng Chou looked fearful as he approached Jiang Hao.

Seeing Jiang Hao’s confusion, Cheng Chou explained that the Fallen Moon Sect had attacked them a little while ago.

“They said that you killed their sect’s disciples, so they wanted justice. They were very aggressive. They wanted compensation for each one killed, or else it would be a fight to the death.”

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. Were these people handpicked by the Fallen Moon Sect to instigate a fight in the name of a mission?

“What happened after that?”

“Master intervened, and the Fallen Moon Sect fell silent. The Hall Master from the Law Enforcement Hall was furious. He accused the Blackheaven Sect of deceit and using others to do their dirty work while framing the disciples of the Fallen Moon Sect.”

Jiang Hao was surprised, but he had expected it.

In the past, he was only an inner sect disciple and thought he would be abandoned, but his status had risen since then.

The sect would definitely protect him.

The Fallen Moon Sect’s target was not just him.

As for the Blackheaven Sect using others to do their dirty work, that was not something new.

The Blackheaven Sect, the Heavenly Gate Sect, the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect, and the Heavenly Saint Sect always schemed and killed the Heavenly Note Sect’s disciples.

They disregarded the Heavenly Note Sect’s sect protection formation.

It was not something new.

Just as he understood what was going on, Kendo came looking for him.

“You know why I’m here, right?” Kendo with a smile as they sat in an isolated wooden hut.

Jiang Hao nodded but did not say anything further.

Kendo did not say much. Instead, he handed a small box to Jiang Hao. “I’ll be teaching and preaching in your sect for a while. Will you come and listen too? Maybe you’ll break through like last time. Oh… isn’t that your junior who always falls asleep?”

Kendo saw Xiao Li in the garden.

Jiang Hao realized it was because of his previous lecture that Kendo remembered him, though he probably remembered Xiao Li more.

“Senior, you jest. Listening to your teachings is a great honor,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.

Kendo chuckled.

He did not say much.

He had experienced mistreatment at the Heavenly Note Sect, unlike elsewhere.

Which disciple of another sect would sleep while listening to his teachings?

Jiang Hao did not linger. He returned to his courtyard.

He took out the box and examined it. The small wooden box was the size of his palm.

When he opened it, he could feel the aura of the Dao.

If he comprehended it, it would be of great benefit to him.

Kendo had said that he could open it. Otherwise, he would not have dared.

Unfortunately, this was not for him.

He could not consume the aura within.

Jiang Hao closed the box and disappeared.

He was heading to Azure Mountain to see his brother.

…

At Azure Mountain, Li Qi looked icily at Smiling San Sheng. “Don’t you think you come over a little too often?”

“Brother Li, you should know that I was hunted and ambushed recently. I’m gravely injured.” Jiang Hao opened his folding fan.

Li Qi was speechless. ‘How is that related to me?’ He thought.

He was helpless. Why did this person always turn to him when he was about to die or gravely injured?

‘Do I look that easy to bully?’ Li Qi’s anger flared.

“Kill me, turn my corpse into a puppet, and sell it. This is just too much.”

“Brother Li, you’re too extreme. Brothers are like limbs. How could I sever my own?”

“Then, what do you want?”

“Remember what I said about the great opportunity and the sword?”

“Not interested.”

“I’m gravely injured!”

Li Qi was speechless.

He looked at Jiang Hao. If glares could kill, Li Qi’s murderous gaze would have struck Smiling San Sheng dead.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Give it here.”

At least this time, he did not have to pay.

Jiang Hao smiled and handed over the box.

After receiving the box, Li Qi slowly opened it. In an instant, the power of the Mountains and Seas surged and merged with the Dao.

Snap!

He closed the box. Li Qi looked serious.

Jiang Hao knew that the Holy Master was tempted.

“How do we contact them?” Li Qi asked.

“I’m gravely injured…” Jiang Hao sighed sadly.

Li Qi gritted his teeth.

He tossed a divine soul to Jiang Hao and a million spirit stones to go with it.

“That’s it. No more,” he said.
