Chapter 42: Huang Jihao's Challenge

"Deal with the Jade Purity Sect?"

Huang Jihao frowned and said coldly, "A declining Sect like this has no challenge!"

His words were filled with disdain for the Jade Purity Sect.

A Straw Cloak Person said anxiously, "Recently, the Jade Purity Sect produced a God Slaying Elder who killed a Soul Transformation expert with a single sword. Their strength is unfathomable!"

Hearing this, Huang Jihao couldn't help raising an eyebrow.

"I have fought with the Sect Master and Grand Elder of the Jade Purity Sect. Their strength is ordinary, and I have never heard of a God Slaying Elder. You must not lie to me!"

Huang Jihao said in a deep voice. That terrifying Aura had not weakened and was still terrifying.

"We wouldn't dare deceive you!"

"It's true, you can go out and ask around!"

"The Azure Nether Demonic Cult was destroyed because of this person!"

The other three Straw Cloak Persons chimed in anxiously.

The four of them combined were no match for Huang Jihao, and they were afraid that Huang Jihao would attack them.

Huang Jihao's eyes flickered, and he said, "First tell me the location of the Straw Cloak Holy Sect. I will go challenge the Jade Purity Sect first, and then go to the Straw Cloak Holy Sect."

The four Straw Cloak Persons looked at each other in dismay.

In order to survive, they finally compromised.

After a while.

Huang Jihao left.

The four Straw Cloak Persons let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed into their chairs.

"Just how strong is this guy?" one of them said, gritting his teeth.

Another cursed, "That's not important. What's important is that I think there's something wrong with this inn. What happened to the soundproofing and Divine Sense blocking that were promised?"

…

Jade Purity Sect.

Ever since Li Qingzi left, another two years had passed.

Han Jue was still at the Sixth Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm. With the help of Ye Sanlang's Medicinal Pill, he was already close to the Seventh Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Black Hell Chicken had already grown to half a meter tall, but Han Jue had checked its bone age, and it was still far from maturity.

On this day.

Chang Yue'er came to visit.

Having not visited for many years, seeing that the Black Hell Chicken had grown so big, she couldn't help walking over and constantly petting the Black Hell Chicken.

"It tickles… It tickles…"

The Black Hell Chicken retreated in resistance.

Hearing its milky voice, Chang Yue'er became even more interested.

Han Jue couldn't help saying, "Stop petting it. This is my precious mount. If you pet it to breaking point, will you compensate me?"

"Tch, compensate you then! Using a chicken as a mount, you really have a bright future!"

Chang Yue'er pouted and said, but despite her words, her body was very obedient as she turned around and came before Han Jue.

She looked at Han Jue and smiled, "Junior Brother Han, every time I see this face of yours, I find it pleasing to the eye. I wonder how outstanding your parents look."

Parents?

Them, huh.

Completely ordinary.

Han Jue smiled inwardly.

For so many years, Han Jue would occasionally think of his parents in this lifetime.

More than a hundred years had passed. If they were still Mortals, they probably would have already been buried in the ground.

That was fine too, saving a lot of trouble.

Han Jue didn't miss his parents in this lifetime very much. When they abandoned Han Jue and fled, their flesh-and-blood kinship was severed.

If it were his parents from his past life, they definitely would not have given up on him.

Chang Yue'er continued, "I heard that Elder Guan is coming back. Have you heard of Elder Guan? He and our Master once joined the Jade Purity Sect together. However, three hundred years ago, he offended the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect. To avoid suspicion, the Grand Elder secretly sent him out of the Great Yan Dynasty. Half a year ago, he replied with a Spell, saying he was coming back and wanted to fight for the position of the Jade Purity Sect Master."

Han Jue shook his head.

He really hadn't heard about this matter.

Neither had he heard of such a person.

"It is said that Elder Guan likes our Master very much. Maybe he will form a Dao Companion relationship with our Master," Chang Yue'er continued.

Han Jue shrugged.

She was overthinking it!

Fairy Xixuan didn't even allow Disciples to form Dao Companion relationships; how could she break the rules herself?

He asked, "Is that Elder Guan very strong?"

Chang Yue'er nodded and said, "It is said that he obtained an Opportunity outside of Great Yan and has already reached Soul Transformation. Coming back this time is to lead the Jade Purity Sect to surpass the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect. The Elders are extremely happy. With one more Soul Transformation in the Jade Purity Sect, we will be more confident in dealing with the Straw Cloak Holy Sect. The Grand Elder is also very happy, but the Sect Master is away and doesn't know about this yet."

Han Jue couldn't help silently mourning for Li Qingzi.

He had worked hard for so many years, only to find his position insecure.

Just as Han Jue was about to ask about Elder Guan, a line of words suddenly popped up before his eyes:

[Detected a Bearer of Connate Providence. Do you want to check their background?]

Han Jue was stunned.

Encountered another Bearer of Connate Providence?

Was the Luck of the Jade Purity Sect this good?

Why did existences with huge backgrounds keep popping up out of nowhere?

Han Jue quickly checked.

[Huang Jihao: Third Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm, External Elder of the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect, Innate Sword Heart, possesses extremely high comprehension of the Sword Dao. Because of his peerless Aptitude since childhood, it led him to Cultivate an arrogant mindset of looking down upon everything. In order to become stronger, he can give up everything.]

Huang Jihao?

Damn!

Why did this fellow come?

Could he be here to challenge the Jade Purity Sect?

Han Jue instantly got a headache.

Couldn't he just Cultivate properly?

Choice prompts then appeared before Han Jue's eyes.

[The Jade Purity Sect faces Huang Jihao's challenge. You have the following choices]

[One: Command the entire Sect to encircle and suppress Huang Jihao, and achieve victory. Shake the world with your name, and you can obtain a fire-type Spell Secret Manual.]

[Two: Quietly repel Huang Jihao without causing too much commotion. You can obtain a Spirit Treasure.]

Han Jue chose the second option without hesitation.

High profile was not his style.

Besides, if he defeated Huang Jihao fair and square, the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect would definitely become enemies with the Jade Purity Sect.

Han Jue hadn't figured out Huang Jihao's strength ranking within the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect. Even if he was the strongest, if the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect and the Straw Cloak Holy Sect joined forces, the Jade Purity Sect wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Sigh, the Jade Purity Sect is still too weak."

Han Jue sighed.

He looked at Chang Yue'er and said, "You go back first. I have things to do."

"What things?"

"It's inconvenient to say."

"Tch."

Chang Yue'er pouted and got up to leave.

She had been talking happily, only to be given the cold shoulder and told to leave. Anyone would find it a dampener.

After Chang Yue'er left, Han Jue began to use the Simulation Trial to search for Huang Jihao's location.

At this moment, Huang Jihao was less than twenty miles away from the Jade Purity Sect.

He walked very slowly and was not in a hurry at all.

Han Jue didn't set off immediately.

Play it safe first!

Let's have a Simulation Trial battle!

Han Jue's consciousness then entered the Simulation Trial.

Five minutes later.

Han Jue ended the Simulation Trial.

He frowned.

"He's got some skills."

Han Jue took a deep breath and continued the Simulation Trial.

He actually couldn't instantly kill this guy!

This fellow was only at the Third Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

Han Jue changed his combat style.

Two minutes later.

The Simulation Trial ended.

Han Jue's brow furrowed tightly again, and he muttered, "As expected of an Innate Sword Heart. Not bad, he actually managed to last two minutes under my hands."

Han Jue became troubled.

The commotion of the battle was too loud, and two minutes was enough to attract many people close by.

This was tricky.

No choice!

Even if it was tricky, he had to go. When this fellow fought his way to the Jade Purity Sect, it would truly be earth-shattering!

…

In the mountain forest.

Huang Jihao strolled forward.

His expression was very calm, without any sense of tension of an upcoming battle at all.

A figure suddenly appeared ahead, walking towards him.

It was none other than Han Jue.

Han Jue wore the Jade Purity Sect Daoist robe, looking graceful and dashing like an immortal. At a glance, he was clearly no Mortal.

Huang Jihao took a glance.

Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm!

So weak!

But this fellow was extremely handsome.

[Huang Jihao's Favorability towards you has increased. Current Favorability is 2 stars]

A line of words suddenly appeared before Han Jue's eyes, and he was instantly stunned.

What the hell?
