Chapter 233 – So that’s how it is


Seeing that Brother Dai didn’t believe him, Meng Jingzhou began to narrate the story in a vivid manner.

“A few days ago, we two went out and saw a plume of black smoke rising from a mountain stream. Thinking that there must be a demon causing chaos in the world, we went straight to the front door. The villain claimed to be the leader of the Nine Nether Sect, with vast magical powers. Fortunately, we two are not ordinary people and have some skills. After a deadly fight, we finally captured the villain. When we took off the villain’s mask, we found out that the villain was Li Haoran!”

“The leader of the Nine Nether Sect, such a mysterious person, was captured by us. We don’t ask for much, just three acting sect leader exchange coupons per person.”

“…Do you even hear what you’re saying?”

As the oldest among the disciples, Dai Bufan, who had lived for nearly a thousand years, had never felt his intelligence insulted like today.

Lu Yang shrugged, squatting down to untie Li Haoran while saying, “See, I told you Brother Dai wouldn’t believe it.”

The promise to give Li Haoran 30% of the contribution points after the event was naturally impossible to fulfill.

“How could I not believe it? We really caught the leader of the Nine Nether Sect.” Meng Jingzhou insisted that every word he said was true.

“Enough, what really happened?” Dai Bufan knew that although these two were jokers, they wouldn’t joke about this kind of thing. There must be a reason.

Of course, if these two dared to say they were here to scam contribution points, he would tie them up and hang them at the entrance of the mission hall.

“Ahem, here’s what happened.”

“At first, Junior Brother Li was a bit nervous about his fiancée, so he asked us two to help out. Later, we found out that his fiancée was beautiful, kind-hearted, and had a higher cultivation level than Li Haoran. She was perfect in every aspect, with the only problem being that she was a bit old.”

Dai Bufan, with his legs crossed and sipping tea, casually asked, “Being a bit older is not a problem. Where is the woman from? Is she one or two years older?”

“Two thousand years older.”

“Pfft——”

Dai Bufan spat out a mouthful of tea, thinking he had hallucinated. He coughed hard, took a long time to recover, and asked, “How much? Two thousand years?”

Isn’t that someone from the same generation as the sect master?

Dai Bufan looked at Li Haoran several times, but couldn’t figure out where Li Haoran’s charm lay.

“Junior Brother Li’s fiancée is named Su Yiren, a cultivator in the Fusion stage.”

“Oh, Su Yiren, I heard she’s a beauty, probably cultivating in Tianzhu Mountain.” Dai Bufan, who managed all the information of the Seek Tao Sect and had eyes and ears all over the Central Continent, knew about the Fusion stage cultivators that ordinary people didn’t know.

“Su Yiren’s husband is named Qin Haoran, also a Fusion stage cultivator. Qin Haoran died in the process of breaking through to the Tribulation stage. Due to the special nature of his cultivation method, he reincarnated.”

Qin Haoran? Dai Bufan thought about the Fusion stage cultivators in his memory, but couldn’t recall anyone by that name.

“Qin Haoran reincarnated into Junior Brother Li, and Su Yiren wanted to continue their previous relationship, so she became Junior Brother Li’s fiancée.”

“Then in Luofeng County, we accidentally discovered the traces of the Nine Nether Sect’s activities. Su Yiren took action, destroyed their plot, and led us to see the process of making Phoenix Blood Stones.”

“You saw the Phoenix Blood Stones being soaked in phoenix blood in Luofeng County?” Dai Bufan was not surprised at this.

“Brother Dai, you knew about this?” Lu Yang was surprised.

Dai Bufan rolled his eyes, “It’s obvious. Who else’s mine formed after the fall of a Fusion stage cultivator can be mined for four thousand years? Are phoenixes all blood and no meat?”

“It’s just that phoenix blood is hard to find. If this is exposed, the Phoenix Clan might get angry and stop selling blood.”

Lu Yang: “…Okay.”

“Then Junior Brother Li had a breakthrough and obtained fragments of his past life’s memories, knowing that he was the leader of the Nine Nether Sect in his past life.”

After Lu Yang finished speaking, Dai Bufan remained silent, his index finger rhythmically tapping the table: “Reincarnation, rebirth, Nine Nether Sect…”

“The Nine Nether Sect believes in a place called Nine Nether for reincarnation, and Li Haoran is the reincarnation of the leader of the Nine Nether Sect…”

“Brother Dai, is reincarnation real?”

Brother Dai shook his head: “I don’t know, but there are many rumors in the market. For example, there is a divine child in the north, glowing all over, born with knowledge, capable of flying and escaping, considered a reincarnated immortal, and worshipped as a god by the locals.”

“What’s the reality?”

“Some idiot didn’t cultivate properly, and his Elemental Infant ran out.”

Meng Jingzhou: “…”

“Or, for example, a genius boy appeared in a small sect, with extraordinary talent. Suddenly one day, a powerful figure visited the small sect and saw the genius boy. He was shocked. The boy’s talent and appearance were very similar to a deceased old friend of his.”

“What happened later?”

“Later, the powerful figure found out that his old friend had faked his death in order to return to his youth and show off in the small sect.”

Li Haoran: “…”

“In short, these reincarnation rumors in the market are not to be believed. They are either baseless or created for hype, false information, and various strange reasons. From the information I have collected so far, there is not a single case of real reincarnation.”

“The matter of the leader of the Nine Nether Sect is related to many things. I know very little about reincarnation. At this time, it’s better to let Senior Sister decide.”

“Then let’s go find Senior Sister…”Before Lu Yang could finish his sentence, a cold voice rang out.

“No need, I’m already here.”

The tone was indifferent, as cold as ice that had been frozen for thousands of years.

Space distorted, and a beautiful figure emerged from an unknown space, appearing before the four of them. It was Yun Zhi.

In the time it took to speak, Dai Bufan had already notified Yun Zhi.

“I never thought before that Junior Brother Li could be the reincarnation of a great power.”

“Reincarnation does not exist, it’s just nonsense. If Junior Brother Li really is the reincarnation of the leader of the Jiuyou Sect, it could only be due to the Dao Fruit.”

Yun Zhi recalled her speculation about the role of the four major demonic sects: “Could it be that the Jiuyou Sect had already formed the embryonic form of the Reincarnation Dao Fruit a long time ago?”

“Open your heart, don’t think about anything.”

Li Haoran quickly cleared his mind, spotless, not thinking about anything.

Yun Zhi’s eyes seemed to contain the stars of the entire sky, exceptionally beautiful, captivating, as if they encompassed all the mysteries of the world, intoxicating.

These eyes were like the legendary fairy eyes that could see through everything, or like the Heavenly Eye, one of the Six Divine Powers of Buddhism. Only Dai Bufan knew that this was a method uniquely created by the senior sister, and only she in the world knew it.

Li Haoran felt as if all his secrets had been thoroughly seen by the senior sister, his growth experience, cultivation process, psychological journey… everything could not escape these eyes.

Yun Zhi withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes returned to normal. Li Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure from the senior sister just now was too strong.

“So that’s how it is.”

She revealed an unquestionable confidence, as if she had insight into certain things.

Lu Yang quickly asked, “Senior Sister, what did you see?”

Yun Zhi’s tone was flat and indifferent, saying:

“It turns out there are things I can’t see.”

Lu Yang: “……”

Senior Sister, are you okay?
