CULTIVATING IN SECRET BESIDE A DEMONESS

Chapter 1548: Chapter 1328: Seeing Charm Goddess Again

Above the sea, one could see a distorted vortex.

Within the vortex, tree roots and branches were frantically swaying, attempting to draw in all creatures nearby.

At that moment, a large ship collided with the vortex.

Wherever the ship passed, the twisted sea area began to recover.

The tree roots were constantly retreating.

What made the roots most fearful was the white dog swimming around the ship.

All distortions were but mist to it, instantly shattering.

Perhaps it wasn’t the ship that was crushing the distortions, but this dog.

Yet, none of the people on the ship paid attention to the dog.

At this time, a middle-aged man was looking at Jiang Hao with some fear.

He had thought he was just dealing with some young noble, but hadn’t expected such ferocity.

However, his cultivation didn’t seem very high.

But no matter what, calling someone ‘senior’ couldn’t be wrong.

As for now, he didn’t dare to speak anymore, he could only listen quietly.

Jiang Hao lifted his teacup and said, “Explain what is happening here.”

Upon hearing the question, the middle-aged man immediately replied, “Junior was taking my daughter to visit relatives…”

Before the man could continue, Jiang Hao felt something strange.

After starting his cultivation journey, he rarely heard about someone taking their child to visit relatives.

When little girl went to visit her relatives, she went alone, without parents to accompany her.

So when he heard it just now, it surprised Jiang Hao.

The Heavenly Note Sect also seemed quite surprised, and both of them listened intently to the man as he continued.

The middle-aged man became nervous all of a sudden, not understanding why these two became so serious all of a sudden.

But he didn’t dare to be rash.

He honestly began to explain the situation: “Junior’s journey has been smooth so far, but then I suddenly encountered a beam of black light that felt extremely mysterious.

“At first, I thought a divine item had appeared in the world, so I approached to have a look.”

“Some fellow disciples passing by did the same.”

“As I got closer to the center, I vaguely saw an altar with some magical treasures on it, like an arsenal.”

“Everyone knew that this was an opportunity, so they rushed in.”

“Junior was a step late, but it was just that one step, so luckily I survived.”

“Not long after those people entered, space began to distort, and these tree roots came following.”

“In the beginning, everyone tried their best to resist, but soon realized the attacks were useless; it was not something our cultivators could contend with.”

“So junior kept fleeing with my daughter.”

“Fortunately, we encountered senior, otherwise…”

Saying this, the middle-aged man pulled his daughter to her feet and respectfully performed a grand salutation to Jiang Hao: “Thank you, senior, for saving our lives.”

Jiang Hao looked at them and asked, “What are your names?”

“Junior is called Duanmu Wuji.” Duanmu Wuji said and then turned to look at his daughter, whose complexion had paled, and continued, “This is my daughter, Duanmu Qingqing.”

“You can call me Gu Jin,” Jiang Hao replied indifferently.

Finally, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, “Who are you visiting when you say you’re going to visit relatives?”

Hearing this question, Duanmu Wuji hesitated for a moment, not understanding why this person in front of him, instead of asking about treasures, was inquiring about this.

Was there any relevance?

But still not daring to ask, he could only answer, “I’m going to my father-in-law and mother-in-law’s house.”

“And where is your wife?” Jiang Hao inquired.

“She’s at her parents’ house, they do not approve of our marriage,” Duanmu Wuji lamented.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Note Sect took a sip of tea, even more intent than before.

The story had become interesting.

If it had been any other scenario, it wouldn’t have been as interesting.

Jiang Hao nodded as well, “Good.”

He knew the Heavenly Note Sect loved such stories, and it just so happened to come across one that seemed likely to pass the time nicely.

“Senior, we are approaching the altar ahead,” Duanmu Qingqing reminded softly, not daring to speak out until now.

Jiang Hao looked ahead and frowned slightly, “Indeed, it’s a bit troublesome, seems like something is leaking out from somewhere.”

When the Duanmu father and daughter thought action was needed, Jiang Hao casually said, “Little Wang, go have a look.”

As his words ended, the sound of a dog barking came from the sea surface.

Then the surrounding distortions started to disintegrate in patches.

Immediately after, a dog rushed into the deep waters, its destination unknown.

This place was filled with either distortions or the strength of a divine soul.

Leaving it to Little Wang was the best choice.

Taking Little Wang out this time was the right move, as both the North and overseas were extremely suitable.

It spared Jiang Hao the trouble of acting himself.

After arranging Little Wang’s task, Jiang Hao looked to Duanmu Wuji and said, “Keep talking about your situation.”

Duanmu Wuji: “…”

He realized that these two seniors were just plainly bored and wanted to hear his story.

Was his story already written all over his face?

For a moment, he felt somewhat relieved, at least this story had saved him and his daughter.

Otherwise, the prospects would have been grim.

“Junior was born into a decent family, the young master of a small overseas family, but we fell upon hard times when I came of age.”

“Back then, my parents wanted me to have a better chance at survival, so they sent me with a marriage proposal to Shangyuan Island.”

“There are four major families there, and my intended, the young miss of the Hu Family, was one of them,” Duanmu Wuji said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao found it somewhat unbelievable.

The story was truly theatrical.

Family downfall, an arranged marriage, and the bride’s family looking down on him.

“Continue,” Jiang Hao said while sipping his tea.

By now, the ship was approaching the vortex, not far from the core.

Black light burst forth from the water.

The light was so dazzling that it made Duanmu father and daughter somewhat anxious.

But soon, the bright light began to fade, and a wave of fear started to confuse the twisting vortex.

The entire vortex was trembling.

Many powerful forces and lights emerged from below the water, as if strong individuals were dueling beneath.

“You don’t need to worry about what’s happening below, just keep talking,” Jiang Hao reminded.

Hearing that, Duanmu Wuji was jolted back to reality, and he promptly continued his story: “Junior went there, but they didn’t even let me through the door, saying that I’m utterly unworthy of their young mistress.”
