On the way back to the Seek Tao Sect, Meng Jingzhou suddenly asked, “Speaking of which, the wooden box contains Qin Haoran’s belongings, shouldn’t Junior Brother Li keep it?”

Lu Yang fell silent for a moment, then sincerely said, “Trust me, Junior Brother Li definitely wouldn’t want that thing.”

After the seal on the wooden box was broken, Lu Yang wanted to open it and see what was inside, but was quickly stopped by the Immortal Maiden.

“The box contains a note involving the power of karma. Qin Haoran used the box to isolate the note and his own karma.”

“If the person who opens the box has a connection with Qin Haoran, then the person who opens the box will establish a karmic connection with the note, and the debt will be repaid by you in place of Qin Haoran!”

“This note cannot be destroyed, otherwise the person who has a karmic connection with the note will suffer an attack equivalent to a full-strength blow at the Tribulation Crossing stage!”

“I suppose Qin Haoran was unable to repay his debt, so he hid the note. Whoever digs out the box as a treasure will be unlucky!” The Immortal Maiden warned seriously, which was rare.

Lu Yang took a deep breath. Qin Haoran was indeed the leader of the Demon Sect, his actions were ruthless enough.

He wondered who the unlucky person would be to establish a karmic connection with the note.

At the same time, Lu Yang understood one thing. No wonder the seal on the box was a blood seal.

Qin Haoran never intended to let his reincarnated self open the seal.

He wasn’t stupid, why would he let his next life bear a huge debt.

……

At the headquarters of the Nine Nether Sect, dark clouds loomed low, and a rare thunder tribulation brewed in the sky every hundred years.

Suddenly, a thick purple lightning instantly illuminated the entire sky, like a huge electric ball bursting open, spreading in all directions.

Under its light, everything seemed exceptionally clear, as if time had been paused.

Then, another thick lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the second, the third…

As time passed, the Petrified Bone, under the bombardment of lightning, had become a pitiful sight, turned into a piece of charred coal.

After the thunder and lightning, Petrified Bone opened his eyes.

“Cough cough——”

He spat out a puff of black smoke mixed with the scent of meat.

“Damn, I almost thought I was going to die just now.” Petrified Bone cursed, still in shock.

Those of them who were Yin attribute cultivators feared Yang thunder the most. If it weren’t for his solid foundation, he would have undoubtedly died just now.

What was strange was that under the attack of such dense thunder, everything around was in a mess, Petrified Bone’s clothes were burnt, but the note was safe and sound as if it had not been baptized by the thunder.

Petrified Bone was angry when he saw the note, wishing he could slap it into dust.

But he knew the power of the note. If he dared to destroy the note, a stronger thunder would descend.

That would be a situation of certain death.

If he doesn’t repay the money, the note will bring about a Five Thunder Bombardment every month.

Who could withstand that?

Now there are two ways, either break through the Tribulation Crossing stage, or repay the money.

Ten billion spirit stones, he didn’t have that much in his entire fortune.

“Debt transfer, worthy of the Qin Sect Leader who robs Peter to pay Paul!” Petrified Bone’s eyes were cold and frightening.

He had thought about transferring the note again, but unfortunately, the note had already established a karmic connection with him. Before the karmic connection disappeared, the note would not be transferred.

“Heavenly Sect, huh? Good, very good, this is a warning to me!” Petrified Bone gritted his teeth, the other party was really cunning.

When Lord Mi and the Divine Transformation stage cultivator returned, they looked at Petrified Bone, who was like a piece of charred coal, and carefully asked, “Vice Sect Leader, are you okay?”

Petrified Bone glared, “Do I look okay to you?”

The Divine Transformation stage cultivator understood Petrified Bone’s meaning and carefully asked, “Vice Sect Leader, is there something wrong?”

Petrified Bone suppressed his murderous intent.

“Find the Sect Leader!” Petrified Bone used a spell to clean his body, changed his clothes, put on a wig – his hair had been burnt by the Five Thunder Bombardment and wouldn’t grow back for a while.

Lord Mi and the Divine Transformation stage cultivator tacitly did not mention what happened before they came to the sect.

Lord Mi, being in a neutral position, originally wanted to hand the box directly to the Sect Leader, but the Divine Transformation stage cultivator was Petrified Bone’s confidant, how could he allow Lord Mi to do so.

Under the Divine Transformation stage cultivator’s insistence, the box was successfully opened by Petrified Bone.

If Petrified Bone knew about this, he would definitely kill the Divine Transformation stage cultivator with a slap, and not even turning him into ashes would be enough to vent his anger.

Lord Mi had a hold on the Divine Transformation stage cultivator.

……

The current Sect Leader of the Nine Nether Sect was a handsome young man, somewhat out of place with the dark atmosphere of the Nine Nether Sect.

“Heavenly Sect?”

The Sect Leader pondered, thinking about things, and after a long time, he slowly asked, “Do you think, this Heavenly Sect is rich, can they lend us some money?”

“What?” Petrified Bone thought his brain was not working properly after being struck by lightning.

“Ah no, nothing, I mean, so it’s the Heavenly Sect.” The Sect Leader quickly corrected himself.

When he became the Sect Leader, he only knew how difficult the previous Sect Leader’s life was after seeing the monthly deficit report.He worked diligently and governed wisely, studying finance from scratch for his faith. He conducted market surveys, on-site investigations, started from small details, discovered business opportunities, opened up various new industries, and strived to make money to maintain the existence of the Jiuyou Sect.

Unfortunately, no matter how many spirit stones he earned, it was never enough in the face of the bottomless pit of constructing the Fengdu.

He couldn’t tell others about this, as it would easily cause panic.

Facing the pressure from the righteous path was stressful enough. If the followers knew about the plight of the Jiuyou Sect, they might even consider surrendering.

Therefore, he greatly admired Qin Haoran, who could maintain the daily operations of the Jiuyou Sect despite losing so much money.

If he knew that Qin Haoran could establish a family and career under such circumstances, he would probably admire him even more.

“Qin Haoran’s reincarnation…”

He had always thought that the story of Qin Haoran’s reincarnation was made up by the three deputy leaders in order to fight for Qin Haoran’s legacy. Although the doctrine of the Jiuyou Sect mentioned “reincarnation”, theoretically it could be achieved.

But in the long history of the Jiuyou Sect, he had never heard of anyone achieving reincarnation.

Now, an Ancient Heavenly Court Sect appeared and found Qin Haoran’s reincarnation, who was a woman.

Although it sounded strange, it was reasonable upon careful thought.

“Are you sure it’s Qin Haoran’s stuff?”

Shihua Bone silently took out the IOU.

Shihua Bone didn’t know about the sect’s financial loss, he thought this kind of IOU was left by Qin Haoran to deliberately trap people.

The moment he saw the IOU, the leader understood that this must be something left by Qin Haoran, it couldn’t be faked.

Moreover, he remembered that Qin Haoran was proficient in cause and effect and formations, and could block and transfer cause and effect.

“In that case, the credibility of this Heavenly Court Sect and Qin Haoran’s reincarnation is quite high.”

“Call the other two deputy leaders for a meeting.”

“Can these one billion spirit stones be taken out of the treasury?” Shihua Bone didn’t want to be struck by lightning every month.

The leader said solemnly: “Your acceptance of Qin Haoran’s legacy is a private matter, you can’t use public funds, you must distinguish between public and private!”

“But I have a small suggestion.”

“Please speak, leader.”

“Next time you get struck by lightning, please stay further away from the headquarters, repairing the headquarters costs money.”
