“This is impossible!” Qin Tian was the first to refute, but he was ignored by everyone present.
The Divine Transformation cultivator behind him harbored a murderous intent, wanting to kill Lu Yang and the others right here. The threat they posed was too great.
However, he quickly abandoned this idea. The other party clearly showed no fear of him. As an ancient genius, how could he not have a few life-saving cards up his sleeve?
If he couldn’t kill them now, he would be the unlucky one when the Nine Nether Sect and the Heavenly Court Sect formed an alliance in the future.
Lu Yang waved his hand dismissively, not taking Mr. Mi seriously at all. “Don’t believe it? It’s normal for your Nine Nether Sect to be skeptical since you’ve lost too many inheritances.”
“Never mind, then I’ll find the thing that Sect Leader Qin has hidden.”
Mr. Mi didn’t think Lu Yang was arrogant. The other party was an ancient peerless genius who had a Heavenly Immortal take action to block the path to immortality. How could he regard him, a mere Elemental Infant cultivator, with importance?
Not only Lu Yang, but also Meng Jingzhou, Li Haoran, and Qin Yanyan behind him all had the same attitude.
Among them, Qin Yanyan’s acting was the worst, having practiced all night.
Li Haoran, whether naturally or influenced by memory fragments, perfectly portrayed this attitude, earning applause from Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
Lu Yang turned and walked into the abandoned temple, which surprised Mr. Mi.
“Come in, and see for yourselves. Your Nine Nether Sect has been oppressed by the righteous path for too long, hiding everywhere, and has become distrustful of others. I can understand.”
Lu Yang walked straight into the main hall, followed closely by Meng Jingzhou, Li Haoran, and the three ghosts. Mr. Mi and Qin Tian were at the back.
The main hall was as dilapidated as ever, with half a Buddha statue, old doors and windows, cracked roof beams, and dim incense on the altar. The dust that had fallen on the brick walls had covered many patterns and texts, making the residents of Guhuai Town forget the original intention of building the temple.
Lu Yang stared blankly at this scene, as if it evoked memories from ancient times. It seemed that the Heavenly Court was just like this forgotten temple, also forgotten by people.
“Who didn’t know the prestige of the Heavenly Court back then?”
He murmured softly, just loud enough for Mr. Mi and the Divine Transformation cultivator to hear.
Lu Yang raised his arm, and the sword light gathered into a golden sword glow. This golden sword glow, which was famous in ancient times, was unknown today.
The golden sword glow fell, and the half wooden Buddha statue was split in two, revealing a wooden box wrapped in old sealing talismans.
“Sect Leader Qin’s relic!” Mr. Mi exclaimed, his eyes almost popping out.
He never expected that the treasure he had been unable to find was under his nose all along!
“How about it?” Lu Yang weighed the wooden box, which was surprisingly light. He didn’t know what was inside.
Li Haoran sighed: “Who would have thought that the thing hidden in the locust tree four hundred years ago would be carved into a Buddha statue by the people of Guhuai Town when they built the temple. It’s really unpredictable.”
Of course, this was not Li Haoran’s memory, but the result of Lu Yang’s deduction last night.
The deduction process was simple – the Nine Nether Sect knew that there was something of Qin Haoran here, so they must have turned the place over like plowing a field, burrowing in the soil like earthworms.
Lu Yang even suspected that the big fire in Guhuai Town was set by the Nine Nether Sect, just to burn all the locust trees and find the wooden box.
After all, the wooden box would definitely not be burned.
Even so, the Nine Nether Sect still didn’t find the wooden box.
That could only mean that Qin Haoran’s wooden box was hidden in the Nine Nether Sect’s blind spot.
For example, the locust tree that had long been carved into a Buddha statue.
Why did the three ghosts always stay in this temple? Was it just because no one was here?
What a joke, this place was on the edge of Guhuai Town, with few locust trees around. It would be better to live in Guhuai Town than here.
The reason they didn’t was because the half Buddha statue in the main hall was made of ancient locust wood, which could nourish souls.
Lu Yang exerted force, but couldn’t open the wooden box. He thought to himself, ‘Just as I expected.’
The wooden box was sealed by Qin Haoran, and no one but Qin Haoran himself could open it.
If he tried to open it by force, he might damage the contents of the box.
“Kid, go on, didn’t you say you’re the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin? Try opening it!”
Qin Tian was startled, as if he had received a hot potato. He was so flustered that he almost didn’t catch it.
He knew best whether he was the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin or not.
But what if he really was?
He gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead, and tried his best to pry open the box.
The box didn’t budge.
The Divine Transformation cultivator looked at Qin Tian with disappointment. ‘Idiot, who said it had to be opened here? Can’t it be opened when we get back?’
Mr. Mi took the box and examined it carefully. He had some knowledge of sealing techniques and recognized that this was a seal laid down by Sect Leader Qin with great effort. Only Sect Leader Qin himself could open it.
Or the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin.
“Li Hao, you open it.” Lu Yang chuckled, letting Li Haoran, the legitimate former sect leader, open the box.
As the former sect leader and a person who understood the mysteries of reincarnation, Li Haoran was qualified to sit on an equal footing with the ancient genius. Naturally, he couldn’t just take it directly, as that wouldn’t show his prestige.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were both at the Golden Elixir stage, so it wasn’t appropriate for them to do it. This task of helping Li Haoran maintain his prestige was given to Qin Yanyan.
Qin Yanyan stepped forward, just took the box from Mr. Mi, and was about to hand it to Li Haoran.The moment the wooden box touched Qin Yanyan’s fingers, the blood seal seemed to have met its master and disappeared instantly.
Qin Yanyan blinked, her face full of confusion, not understanding what had just happened.
Lu Yang was also puzzled, but fortunately, he had the Immortal Maiden within him.
After the Immortal Maiden’s explanation, Lu Yang understood the reason.
This was the blood seal left by Qin Haoran, only someone with the same blood as Qin Haoran could open it.
Four hundred years ago, the only person who met this condition was Qin Haoran himself.
But now, there was one more person who met this condition – his daughter.
Mr. Mi’s eyes widened. He was knowledgeable and well-read. He understood something in an instant, looking as if he had discovered the truth, his face full of sudden realization.
Surname Qin.
Able to unlock the seal of Sect Leader Qin.
Her age also corresponds to the time of Sect Leader Qin’s fall.
Her talent is astonishing, she has cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment at a young age, and even defeated Qin Tian, who is also at the late stage of Foundation Establishment!
It all makes sense, everything makes sense!
He pointed at Qin Yanyan excitedly, “You, you are the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin!”
If she is not the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin, then who is?
Although she is a woman, who said that a man must still be a man after reincarnation?
The cycle of reincarnation is mysterious, everything is unknown. Since it is unknown, anything is possible!
Didn’t Lu Yang also say that their Heavenly Court Sect found the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin.
Lu Yang deliberately let Qin Yanyan come over to take the box, he must have wanted him to see Qin Yanyan unlocking the seal, confirming that they indeed found the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin!
Qin Yanyan: “……”
Have I become the reincarnation of my father?
