Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness - Chapter 1326 - Chapter 1326: The Battle With The Five Demons

Chapter 1326: The Battle With The Five Demons

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Overseas, on Silent Island, the Holy Master gazed up at the sky.

“The Great Era is coming. Will he come for revenge?”

He had long known about Smiling San Sheng being ambushed.

Smiling San Sheng, at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm but without the Dao, had fought against a middle-stage True Immortal, three late-stage True Immortals, and one at the peak of the True Immortal Realm.

He killed the middle-stage True Immortal and then retreated, leaving behind his defensive magic treasure.

It seemed like a defeat.

But he had only just become a True Immortal, while the Five Demons had been immortals for many years, with one even close to becoming a Heavenly Immortal.

No one else in the world, no matter how skilled, could match such opponents immediately after becoming an immortal.

“His fame rose when he became an immortal, but after one defeat, no one cared about the circumstances. A loss is a loss.”

“No one wants him to stay on the pedestal. Only when he falls can others catch up and dare to take action.”

“Many secretly fuel the fire, and Smiling San Sheng has long been targeted by others.”

“Smiling San Sheng seems to care a lot about being the greatest in history. He’ll take revenge, but when?”

The Holy Master did not like Smiling San Sheng.

He had humiliated him too many times. Smiling San Sheng always came after his divine souls and spirit stones.

Later on, he had voluntarily given up his divine souls and spirit stones because he knew Smiling San Sheng would snatch them away either way.

But the shame remained. It was a deep humiliation.

He waited for his main body to return.

When the Great Era arrived, he would quickly regain his strength and make Smiling San Sheng pay.

The Holy Master wondered if Smiling San Sheng would really come.

The time was near. It should be within one or two years, possibly even within a year.

If the other party wanted revenge, they would have come by now.

If he wanted revenge, he should come soon.

“If he comes overseas, he will definitely look for that treasure first.”

With that, he took out a fragment of a treasure that had the handle.

“If he looks for it, he will likely come to me.” The Holy Master was confident.

Smiling San Sheng never passed up the chance to humiliate him. So, he waited, expecting Smiling San Sheng to come knocking.

If Smiling San Sheng did not come for the treasure, it would mean he either did not care or lacked confidence.

Was he confident?

The Holy Master did not think so.

Perhaps he found a strong ally. That seemed likely. Regardless, the Holy Master had no exact answers, so he waited quietly.

…

Shangguan Qingsu stood guard at the closed chamber.

Smiling San Sheng’s defeat by the Five Demons did not surprise her.

Those were long-time immortals, with an insurmountable gap in cultivation.

But overseas, people mocked Smiling San Sheng and said that this was just a hollow fame.

Even the Shangguan clan thought so. They believed they could do better than escape the Five Demons.

Where their confidence came from, Shangguan Qingsu did not know.

She had heard rumors. The Great Era was about to arrive.

If Smiling San Sheng wanted to head overseas, it had to be soon.

The treasure was in the secret chamber. It waited for him.

She had been here ever since she took it from the Shangguan Clan.

But if he did not come.

It would be understandable given the vast difference in their cultivation realms for Smiling San Sheng to refuse to come overseas.

The reputation of being the number one in history was not more important than staying alive.

Just as she thought about all this, the door to the secret chamber rumbled.

The door slowly opened.

Shangguan Qingsu was startled and stayed alert.

“Fellow Disciple Shangguan, it’s been a long time,” said a voice.

It was Smiling San Sheng!

“Greetings, Fellow Disciple.” Shangguan Qingsu bowed respectfully.

At that moment, the door was completely open, and Jiang Hao’s figure was revealed.

Beside him stood a woman in a red and white immortal dress.

Shangguan Qingsu glanced at her. She thought of something but forgot as she lowered her head.

“It seems your cultivation has also increased very quickly.” Jiang Hao looked like a scholar. He smiled gently.

He was back overseas.

“Thank you, Fellow Disciple,” Shangguan Qingsu said seriously. “It’s all thanks to you.”

If it were not for Jiang Hao’s methods, she would not have been able to cultivate at all.

She had long been tortured by the Hundred Nights Curse.

“The Great Era is coming. Work hard and become an immortal as soon as possible,” said Jiang Hao and walked out of there.

Shangguan Qingsu quickly followed. “Senior, are you going to the Five Demons?”

“What else?” Jiang Hao turned around.

“Then, I’ll stay here,” Shangguan Qingsu said.

She implied that she would not leak any information about him.

“There’s no need for that.” Jiang Hao smiled and said, “You can tell everyone that Smiling San Sheng is here.”

He spoke with confidence and pride. He was fearless.

He had come openly and did not intend to hide.

He was planning to go directly to the Five Demons.

It did not matter if the entire overseas region knew about it.

He wanted everyone to know he was there to claim the lives of the Five Demons.

Since they had prepared for so long, it did not matter if they knew or not.

So, why not be straightforward?

If he lost, he would accept it.

The odds were slim against three late-stage True Immortals and one at the peak of the True Immortal Realm, but he was well-prepared. This would have to end here.

As soon as he finished speaking, Smiling San Sheng left and disappeared into the light.

Shangguan Qingsu lowered her head in thought.

In the end, she chose to reveal the news.

Since Smiling San Sheng wanted to do this, she would do it.

Although she did not know if he was really that confident, arrogance and audacity were part of Smiling San Sheng’s personality.

If he had come sneakily, he would not be Smiling San Sheng, after all.

The news spread quickly.

The Shangguan Clan was surprised. They thought that Smiling San Sheng was asking for death.

Others had mixed feelings.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings were astonished that he came without seeking their cooperation.

Would he ask for their help later?

Zhu Shen and the others immediately informed the Red Dragon.

The Red Dragon laughed. After waiting for so long, his elder brother had finally arrived!

It was time to perform.

He would act weak and then wait outside the Five Peaks Island for the show to begin.

Mr. Tao received the news as well. Although he was curious, he could not leave his territory.

He could only wait.

At the same time, Jiang Hao headed to Silent Island.

He sensed a fragment over there.

It was just that it was in the hands of the Holy Master.

He moved in that direction.

Two days later, Jiang Hao appeared outside Silent Island.

At this moment, he could clearly sense the fragment of the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.

“My dear brother is so thoughtful.” Jiang Hao smiled.

He never expected a fragment to fall into the Holy Master’s hands.

It made things easier.

He would not even need to pay spirit stones to retrieve it.

He walked straight in.

At that moment, the Holy Master also walked out.

The current Holy Master was already an Immortal Human.

He was extremely powerful.

“Brother Li, it’s been so long,” said Jiang Hao as he stood with his hands behind his back. He exuded an aura as deep as the sea.

“You actually dared to come overseas.” The Holy Master frowned.

“Didn’t you already guess, dear brother? You know why I’m here, don’t you?” Jiang Hao kept smiling.

He was in no hurry. He would take it step by step and settle old scores.
