Every day, Shentong appraises many things.
From large houses and mountains to small flowers and trees, he has tried them all.
The only thing he has never appraised is a person.
In his subjective mind, people cannot be appraised.
But the current situation before him made him confused, so appraising her wouldn't be a bad idea.
When he activated his ability,无形的符号在他双眼中闪过,紧接着符号将眼前的师姐映照在内。
However, in an instant, a piece of information was fed back from the ability, reflecting in his mind.
"Effective." Jiang Hao was delighted and immediately checked the information fed back by the ability.
But as soon as he saw it, his heart tightened, feeling extremely dangerous.
【Yun Ruo: Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, Inner Disciple of Luoxia Sect, undercover in Tianyin Sect to investigate the whereabouts of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Due to her identity being about to be exposed, she urgently needs a scapegoat. Seeing that your actions do not resemble those of a demon sect disciple, she has targeted you as a suitable scapegoat. She is currently using charm techniques on you, attempting to influence your mind to make you willingly become a scapegoat. If she fails, she will kill you to silence you.】
How vicious, just because I don't look like a demon sect disciple, I have to die. Jiang Hao thought without showing any emotion.
At this moment, the jade pendant was right in front of him. Taking it would mean dying in her place, not taking it would mean falling victim to her.
The former was certain death, while the latter, with her many years of Foundation Establishment, would surely have many tricks up her sleeve, making a direct confrontation very difficult to win.
"That..." Jiang Hao's thoughts raced as he pretended to reach for the jade pendant. Just as he was about to touch it, he suddenly looked behind Yun Ruo, exclaiming in shock:
"Master, Master?"
Upon hearing this,
Yun Ruo was greatly alarmed and immediately turned to look behind her, a spiritual sword appearing in her hand.
Not only that, a breath of energy locked onto Jiang Hao, using him as a shield to avoid the crisis.
The jade pendant was already out, and now whoever died first would get the pendant.
"Uncle Jiang is the traitor, he..."
Just as Yun Ruo was about to accuse him first and then strike, she suddenly froze.
Because there was no one behind her.
Oh no... By the time she realized it, it was too late.
At that moment, a dagger on her right side stabbed at her with lightning speed.
Puff!
In an instant, Jiang Hao held the dagger and stabbed it into Yun Ruo's neck.
Aiming to kill her with one strike.
Since he had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation, he would make up for it with a sneak attack.
He had no intention of harming others, nor did he deliberately target anyone.
He just wanted to live well.
Since she wanted to kill him, he would show no mercy.
Bang!
The moment the dagger pierced her, Yun Ruo cast a spell to push Jiang Hao away.
"You..."
Jiang Hao's decisiveness shocked her.
From their interactions over the past few days, she could see Jiang Hao's kind and benevolent nature. She had thought he was a naive newcomer who would eventually die in Tianyin Sect, but she never expected that under his gentle exterior, he could be so ruthless.
Faced with Yun Ruo's shock, Jiang Hao remained silent and took out his spiritual sword to deliver the finishing blow.
She had been hit in a vital spot, her strength greatly reduced, but she was still far from death.
For a moment, the sword rose and fell, the clash of blades and sparks flying.
Bang!
Due to her severe injuries, Yun Ruo was overpowered and thrown into the courtyard. She fell to the ground, clutching her neck and looking at Jiang Hao in terror, hurriedly saying:
"Junior Brother, you can't kill me. The Pavilion Master of Tianhuan Pavilion values me greatly and has been eyeing my body. He hasn't gotten me yet, and if you kill me, he will surely hold a grudge against you."
Jiang Hao ignored her words and approached Yun Ruo, delivering a final blow.
"I am still a disciple of Luoxia Sect, and there are senior brothers who are infatuated with me. If I die at your hands, they won't let you off. You will be flayed and dismembered..."
Swish!
One strike down.
Everything returned to silence.
Puff~
Puff~
For safety, he stabbed a few more times.
Looking at the thoroughly dead senior sister, Jiang Hao felt a bit uncomfortable.
He wasn't used to such things.
But being in a demon sect, even if he felt uncomfortable, he had to adapt.
The cultivation world wouldn't give him time to adapt just because he felt uncomfortable.
After standing there for a long time, he made sure she wouldn't come back to life and had no hidden tricks before stepping out.
He needed to find the master of Duanqing Cliff.
The master he had bowed to when he entered the sect.
Because he wasn't a true disciple, he could only listen to his master's teachings at fixed times along with other disciples.
Most of his cultivation still relied on himself.
At first, he didn't want to report this matter, but the more he hid it, the more it would suggest he had a problem.
Especially since she had already been targeted, if he was identified as an accomplice, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After a short while,
Jiang Hao brought the body to the courtyard.
"Did you kill her?" A middle-aged man looked down at the fallen Yun Ruo and asked softly.
This man had a gloomy face, his eyes cold and slightly weathered.
He was the master of Duanqing Cliff, Kumu Chang.
"Yes, it was this disciple," Jiang Hao said, bowing his head.
"Tell me what happened," Kumu Chang said, looking at Jiang Hao with a deep voice.
"It was like this..." Jiang Hao recounted the general process and then said:
"I originally wanted to try to control Senior Sister, but she fought back, so I had to fight back, and then..."
Kumu Chang, as usual, said gloomily:
"When did you reach Foundation Establishment?"
"Last month," Jiang Hao answered nervously.
"So you chose to ambush her?"
"Yes."
"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. If there are any follow-up issues, the Law Enforcement Hall will contact you, and you should cooperate." Kumu Chang then took away Senior Sister Yun Ruo.
Watching them leave, Jiang Hao sighed in relief.
"I don't know how Tianhuan Pavilion will react, but as long as I don't go out, Luoxia Sect will be fine."
"In ten or a hundred years, they will probably forget about Senior Sister Yun Ruo."
"Even if they don't forget, I will be stronger."
