Background / History

Yun Ruo’s Death and the Compensation Dispute

Fairy Yun Ruo held the position of an inner disciple in the Heavenly Joy Pavilion while secretly serving the Sunset Glow Sect. Her mission was to locate the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. When her identity was about to be exposed, she attempted to charm Jiang Hao into becoming her scapegoat, intending to kill him if he resisted. Jiang Hao discovered the plan through Daily Appraisal and killed her in self-defense 3 6.

The Pavilion’s anger stemmed from its master’s cultivation needs. He had reached a bottleneck requiring someone with an innate charm physique as a cultivation cauldron, and Yun Ruo possessed that physique. The sect intended to capture her alive, but contacting the Pavilion about her betrayal tipped her off before the arrest 14.

The Law Enforcement Hall ruled that Heartbreak Cliff had no authority to dispose of a Pavilion disciple. Jiang Hao lost five years of cultivation resources and was ordered to pay the Pavilion 1,000 spirit stones within three months. Liu Xingchen later explained that the compensation also provided protection against the Pavilion and Yun Ruo’s allies. He registered Jiang Hao’s payment and delivered it on the deadline, removing the Pavilion’s stated grounds for openly pursuing the dispute 7 15 21.

Miao Qian’s Extortion

Miao Qian approached Jiang Hao’s talisman stall, took his merchandise without paying, and mockingly invited him to collect payment at the Pavilion. He subsequently stated his intention to continue extorting Jiang Hao and eventually kill him. Jiang Hao killed Miao Qian and recovered sixty spirit stones from his storage treasure 18 19.

The Pavilion suspected Jiang Hao because the killing method resembled his. Liu Xingchen placed Jiang Hao on the Law Enforcement Hall’s watchlist, giving him protection under the sect’s enforcement rules, but warned that further conflicts with Pavilion disciples could create additional trouble 20 21.

Demon Grotto Mission

Qing Xue and Lou Feng joined Jiang Hao on a Demon Grotto clearing mission. Their hostility had distinct motives: Qing Xue hated Jiang Hao because of her infatuation with her master, while Lou Feng sought revenge for Yun Ruo, whom he loved 25 28 30.

The group initially hunted together, preventing an unwitnessed attack. After they separated, Lou Feng pursued Jiang Hao, with Qing Xue following. Jiang Hao completed a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment perfection during Lou Feng’s attack, fought both disciples, and killed them 29 30 31 32.

Only Jiang Hao, Zheng Nineteen, and Xin Yuyue returned. Jiang Hao denied encountering the missing Pavilion disciples after the group split up. Liu Xingchen strongly suspected him but explained that, without evidence, the Pavilion was unlikely to risk drastic action, allowing Jiang Hao a temporary period of peace 33 34.

War Against Azure Heaven Mountain

The Pavilion master fought alongside Bai Zhi and other branch leaders during the war against Azure Heaven Mountain. The Pavilion subsequently devoted its efforts to that campaign, reducing the immediate threat it posed to Jiang Hao 49.
