Chapter 801: Dole Has No Choice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Hao walked out from the Corpse Realm Flower.
Four people had entered from the sect, but only three emerged. They were Jiang Hao, Xiao Li, and Zhuge Zheng.
Yin Xueni from the Heavenly Gate Sect hadn’t come out.
Jiang Hao knew why. How would Smiling San Sheng’s killing spree connect to him anyway?
After that, he visited his Master along with Xiao Li.
His own situation wasn’t much of his Master’s concern, but Xiao Li’s circumstances would certainly be a point of interest.
Jiang Hao stood by quietly with his head bowed. In the courtyard, Ku Wu Chang glared at Xiao Li.
“You didn’t cultivate inside?” he asked.
“I was hungry,” Xiao Li muttered and bowed her head.
Ku Wu Chang stared at her. “Were you sleeping all the time inside as well?”
“I was too hungry to sleep,” Xiao Li said.
Ku Wu Chang fell silent for a long time.
Xiao Li, with her head still down, seemed to realize she was in trouble.
Jiang Hao glanced at her and stood quietly.
The Cliff Master wouldn’t ask him much, which was a good thing.
After all, it was not easy to explain.
After a long time, Ku Wu Chang waved his hand. He gestured for Xiao Li to leave because he didn’t want to see her anymore.
Jiang Hao also wanted to leave, but the Cliff Master stopped him.
“Do you have any orders for me, Master?”
“Was Xiao Li in danger inside?” Ku Wu Chang asked.
“Junior Sister Xiao Li has exceptional talent and innate divine power, so…” Jiang Hao didn’t continue.
He wanted to say she swept away everything that stood in her way.
No one was her match. She naturally didn’t need to cultivate.
Ku Wu Chang was only concerned because he knew Xiao Li had exceptional talent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be worried.
He sighed wearily.
Jiang Hao also left.
After spending so much time in the Corpse Realm, he needed to check his house. He wanted to see if Gui would arrive soon.
He also needed to be careful of Feng Hua.
He finally found the black-robed woman he encountered inside.
She tried desperately to find a way out but couldn’t do it.
Jiang Hao had appraised her.
Indeed, she was Feng Hua’s avatar. She had been trying to shock him and Xiao Li by appearing inside.
However, she ultimately failed.
She wasn’t afraid of death at first, but she was terrified now when she realized she couldn’t get out of the realm.
She wanted to spread the information she had found.
Unfortunately, everything was in vain.
Jiang Hao talked with her curiously for a while but gained nothing in the end.
It seemed the avatar’s knowledge was limited.
Thus, she died just like that.
Her storage treasure was also empty.
Everyone from the Fallen Immortal Clan had nothing. They were quite poor.
Jiang Hao didn’t rush to leave.
He observed the peach tree. The fruits were ripe by now.
He wondered who had eaten the fruits.
He would have to wait until October of this year for the incarnation.
He had sufficient spirit stones, so there was nothing to worry about.
After that, he sat on the floor of his room and calmed his state of mind.
He also waited for Guan Zhongfei’s message.
It shouldn’t take long for him to make a choice.
The next day, Jiang Hao finally sensed the ring.
It seemed Guan Zhongfei had made his decision.
With that, he relaxed a bit and waited.
Starting today, he would consolidate his mental state and attend to the Spirit Herb Garden peacefully.
Apart from these tasks, he also needed to check how long it would take for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower to give some more bubbles.
If there was nothing unexpected, it should take eleven days.
By that account, it would take three years for him to accumulate two hundred bubbles.
“It’s going to take quite some time, but it’ll pass quickly. Planting more spirit herbs will take less time…” He sighed and got up to head to the Spirit Herb Garden.
His daily, peaceful routine began yet again.
Dole hesitated when he found out that he could leave.
Someone had informed him that the powerful individual who had rescued him had killed many people.
No one could find that person, so everyone would blame him for everything.
Many of the individuals who were killed were talented disciples from Western sects. It was evident that they would find someone to blame.
Dole knew that the person who had warned him of this had good intentions. He had even told him not to leave the Corpse Realm.
Leaving would mean death.
However, staying here would also mean death.
Although he appeared to have a choice on the surface, he actually didn’t have one.
If it weren’t for that senior, perhaps he would have died long ago.
He was alive just by chance, so he still wanted to return and live his life.
Even if he faced death, he could do it with certainty.
What saddened him was that he had plenty of spirit stones from selling the ores, but he hadn’t been able to split them with his two team members.
He wanted to leave everything to them before his death.
However, he found the mine deserted.
The spirit herbs were still there.
It seemed someone had left the place for a while but hadn’t returned.
Or perhaps they had met some danger…
Dole didn’t know what happened to Smiling San Sheng. He waited there for a long time, but no one came.
That was disappointing.
Guan Zhongfei might also face a grim future because of the incident related to him.
Until the end, he waited at the entrance of the mine.
He waited for one more day before packing up the spiritual herbs and leaving.
If possible, he wanted to leave some of it for them.
He feared he wouldn’t get the chance in the future.
He needed to figure out what to do with so many spirit stones.
When he emerged, his fellow sect members looked over at him and stepped back.
They kept their distance.
Some looked puzzled.
Dole kept his head down. He didn’t dare look them in the eye.
He exchanged greetings with some seniors and left quickly.
He knew that soon everyone would know about the incident in the Corpse Realm. He might be left out or even observed carefully.
His sect couldn’t afford to offend powerful people.
Sure enough, the next day, a Senior Brother found him. He told Dole not to leave the sect for a while.
He also told Dole that it was inevitable that other sects would be here to meet him.
Many sects had already sent requests for a visit.
Dole understood that, despite his disappointment and fear, he could only face his fate calmly.
He had no choice.
Despite achieving the Golden Core Realm, he didn’t have a high status within the sect.
Nobody paid much attention to him.
He had helped a senior and earned a slot in exchange. That was why he was in the Corpse Realm.
But that was it.
He could only wait for the other sects to visit and declare his fate.
It would be better if they could do it early. At least, he wouldn’t suffer too much.
But…
Who would choose to die when they had a reason to live?
Dole had intended to go out of his house and help the juniors, but he dared not step out.
He thought that if he associated with them, then they would get hurt too.
One day, a Senior Sister found him.
She was among the top ten disciples in the sect.
Her visit surprised Dole, but it also made him curious.
A woman in a purple dress stood before Dole’s house. “You’re the same Dole that everyone has been talking about?”
“Yes. Greetings, Senior Sister Lin,” said Dole respectfully.
“Many powerful individuals have arrived in the sect. Aren’t you planning to escape?” Senior Sister Lin asked.
“One should take responsibility for their actions. If I leave, it will only cause trouble for the sect.”
“Hahaha… You can’t escape even if you want to, can you? If you could, I don’t think you’d be here acting all noble.” Senior Sister Lin chuckled.
Dole remained silent. It was true. He couldn’t escape.
He had to accept it. He was trying to act honorable to console himself.
He didn’t know if this was a tragedy..
