Xiao Li carried the beast with her and arrived at the Law Enforcement Peak.

“Beast, what should I do later?”

For her first task, Jiang Hao had specifically instructed her not to cause trouble for others.

So, she had to ask the beast.

“They are all friends. Just mention Lord Beast’s name, and they will show you respect,” said the beast confidently.

“If I don’t do well, will they complain to Senior Brother Jiang?” Xiao Li asked.

During her time in the outer sect, people often ran to Senior Brother Jiang to complain about her.

“These friends are discreet and won’t complain,” said the beast with a mouthful of carrots.

“Really? In the village, people used to complain to my parents. Father even hit me once. He said we shouldn’t eat other people’s things or stare at them while they eat.” Xiao Li pouted. “Later, Father stopped hitting me. Even when I found branches for him, he didn’t hit me. He said I had grown up, and he couldn’t bear to hit me again.”

“Does the Master hit you?” the beast asked.

“He did. Once when I sneaked out, Senior Brother Jiang knocked me on my head,” Xiao Li said.

It was the first time they met in the sect.

The beast didn’t pay much attention to this. “Do the demons in Devil’s Den live a comfortable life?”

Xiao Li shook her head.

Before long, they arrived at the meeting point.

Xiao Li saw four people. There were two men and two women.

Three of them seemed somewhat familiar, while one looked very pale.

She immediately walked forward with the best. “Hello, I’m Xiao Li. This is

Beast. ”

She even lifted the beast a bit.

Zheng Shijiu looked at them and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

‘A Golden Core demon?’

‘I’ms was Jlang Hao’s pet, and everyone Knew lt. But tney didn’t expect It to accompany Xiao Li.

They all realized that Xiao Li’s relationship with Jiang Hao was extraordinary.

“Who is Junior Brother Jiang Hao to you?” asked Yue You.

“Huh? Senior Brother Jiang is my brother, ” said Xiao Li after thinking for a moment. “He is my elder brother.”

“Elder brother?” Xin Yuyue was somewhat surprised. “Did you take his surname?”

“Yes.” Xiao Li nodded.

“Now that everyone is here, let’s set off. Junior Sister Xiao Li has the lowest cultivation realm, so take care of her,” Zheng Shijiu said.

The others didn’t have any objections, especially since they had just reconciled with each other.

Duan Yu had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had no objections either.

A middle-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator had sought him out a few days before. How could he dare to have any objections?

After that, the five of them flew on their swords.

“Is this Junior Brother Jiang Hao’s spirit beast?” Xin Yuyue asked.

“Lord Beast, if you please,” said the beast. “When in danger, you can mention my name. My friends and I will always help you. Any demon will show you respect after that.”

Zheng Shijiu and the others felt a bit awkward.

Was that really effective?

“I have friends everywhere and demons always show me respect,” said the beast again.

Everyone felt the beast might be a little too fond of exaggerating things.

After a while, they entered Devil’s Den.

“According to the Senior Brother who managed to escape, the strength of the demons in Devil’s Den isn’t weak. At the very least, you need to be at the middle stage to be able to withstand them. Even late-stage cultivators might find it difficult. So, be careful,” said Zheng Shijiu.

He wanted to caution Xiao Li against running around, but when he saw the beast, he gave up.

The beast’s strength was unquestionable. That terrifying aura, even against demons, was effective.

Before long, they encountered quite a few demons.

Surprisingly, there were even Golden Core Realm demons around.

What were they doing there? How did they come to be here?

“Leave the Golden Core Realm demons to me. Junior Sister Xiao Li, stay put. Others, take care of the remaining demons,” Zheng Shijiu said.

Yue You nodded. “Okay.”

Xin Yuyue also unsheathed her spirit sword. “Remember… aim for the neck. It’s the weakest spot.”

Xiao Li stood still and held the beast to her.

Soon, the other seniors began fighting the demons.

“Beast, should we help?” Xiao Li asked.

“They are showing me respect by not letting you do anything. When someone gives that kind of respect, it’s polite to just accept it,” said the beast emphatically.

“It’s a bit strange,” Xiao Li said.

Whenever she was in a fight, she would charge ahead in any situation.

Soon, the demons were dealt with.

“Junior Sister Xiao Li, stay alert. If any demons break through our defense, you’ll have to handle it yourself,” Zheng Shijiu said.

Xiao Li nodded eagerly.

Xiao Li and the beast left, while Jiang Hao continued with his daily routine.

He watered the divine flower and tended to the spirit herbs.

The matter with the Lawless Tower had been resolved.

King Mu Longyu hadn’t come looking for him again.

All that was left was to earn spirit stones. Once he had enough, he could tie up the spirit beast and awaken its bloodline again.

Jiang Hao remembered Lin Zhi.

He asked Cheng Chou about his situation.

“He’s peacefully mining. Since his cultivation has remained at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, many people know him. He’s often bullied wherever he goes,” Cheng Chou said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

In the afternoon, after selling some talismans at the market, he returned to his house.

Early the next morning, Jiang Hao watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower before heading to the mines.

He wanted to check on Lin Zhi.

In a short while, Jiang Hao found a Senior Brother he had worked under before.

He was Wei Lie.

Back then, he had worked under him when he was in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Wei Lie looked at Jiang Hao with a strange expression.

He was supposed to have a fierce, bald, and menacing appearance, but at this moment, he appeared somewhat comical.

“Senior Brother Wei, it’s been a long time,” Jiang Hao said respectfully as he greeted him.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you had extraordinary talents. I’m sorry to have offended you back then,” said Wei Lei politely.

Over a decade ago, Jiang Hao was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and now, he had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. He had surpassed Wei Lie.

Once someone of this caliber was offended, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, just being called ‘Senior Brother’ made him feel somewhat relieved.

The tone of the other person was calm, unlike someone seeking revenge. Moreover, if there was any retaliation planned, he wouldn’t have waited until now.

“I was grateful for your guidance back then, Senior Brother.” Jiang Hao chuckled lightly.

At that time, when he was working here, Wei Lei wasn’t particularly friendly to him, but he hadn’t intentionally targeted him either.

“No.” Wei Lie shook his head. “What brings you here this time?”

“A junior is working here, so I came to see him,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.

Wei Lie seemed somewhat worried. A sudden visit like this…

Was he here to stand up for that junior?

“Which junior are you talking about? Perhaps, I know him,” he said politely.

“Lin Zhi,” Jiang Hao said.

“Lin Zhi?” Wei Lie asked.

He did know Lin Zhi. Quite a few people knew about him. However, no one knew that a Golden Core Realm cultivator had come to see him.

“I do know Junior Brother Lin, but he seems…” Wei Lie appeared a bit troubled.

“Senior Brother, you needn’t worry. Some friction between fellow disciples of the same sect is normal,” Jiang Hao politely said. “I’m not here for that.”

His meaning was clear. Some friction and bickering between disciples were normal. However, targeting someone intentionally was not okay.

Wei Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, he led the way.

Upon finding Lin Zhi, Jiang Hao discreetly handed him a talisman. It wasn’t a very valuable talisman, but it conveyed his sentiments.

After all, this wasn’t his territory, and it wasn’t appropriate to use his cultivation realm to pressure others..
