Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

From the very beginning of today’s meeting, this Yuanhua Mountain disciple named Qian Xun had been acting strangely.

Chen Yan had simply considered him an eccentric.

But just moments ago, Chen Yan realized this person was probably more than just eccentric.

Because he genuinely wanted to kill Zheng Fei.

From every move and technique Qian Xun executed, it was clear they were all lethal strikes.

This was truly insane.

Chen Yan merged the Shadow Binding Rope into the shadows. Since obtaining this middle grade second tier magical instrument, he had never actually used it in combat.

It was important to understand that middle grade magical instruments were not common goods found on the roadside.

Even within Kongshan Sect, many Spirit Connection Realm cultivators’ prized treasures were merely high grade lower tier magical instruments.

Using Martial Spring Realm cultivation to control a middle grade second tier magical instrument to deal with a disciple who had just entered the Qi Circulation Realm could undoubtedly be described as a lion fighting a rabbit.

The Shadow Binding Rope disappeared from Chen Yan’s shadow, rapidly moving along the shadows in the courtyard toward Qian Xun’s direction.

Qian Xun seemed to suddenly realize something, sharply turning his head.

But everything was already too late.

The Shadow Binding Rope quickly wrapped around Qian Xun’s shadow, then suddenly contracted.

The effect it produced on the shadow was reflected on Qian Xun’s body as well. His body was bound by invisible ropes, then he knelt on the ground.

Qian Xun tried to break free, but despite his true energy surging throughout his body, it was completely useless.

Realizing what had happened, Qian Xun sharply turned his head and glared in Chen Yan’s direction:

“Chen Yan, you despicable villain!”

The veins on Qian Xun’s forehead bulged, his eyes widened into perfect circles, the whites completely filled with red blood vessels, looking quite terrifying.

Moreover, when he gritted his teeth and spat out Chen Yan’s name, saliva flew everywhere, and blood even flowed from between his gums.

A Qi Circulation Realm cultivator, actually experiencing bleeding gums?

Chen Yan’s breathing slightly hitched.

This was absolutely abnormal, not the state a normal cultivator should be in. Instead, it seemed more like he had fallen into demonic possession.

“Senior Brother Chen!”

Li Xiuxiu stood beside Chen Yan:

“What should we do now?”

“Don’t worry, wait for Instructor Lu to return.”

Chen Yan said:

“He can’t escape my binding.”

Qian Xun continued struggling there, his Taoist robe already torn by the invisible Shadow Binding Rope, with blood even seeping through his clothes.

“Die, you outer court trash, all of you die!”

Blood overflowed from Qian Xun’s mouth, and the whites of his eyes completely turned blood red.

One mouthful of blood after another sprayed out, until finally Qian Xun collapsed to the ground under the gazes of Chen Yan, Zheng Fei, and Li Xiuxiu.

He seemed to still have a trace of life energy remaining.

“Was this necessary?”

Zheng Fei gasped for breath, looking quite disheveled:

“What’s wrong with this guy? This isn’t just about having prejudice against outer court disciples anymore. This guy was fighting me like I was an evil cultivator!”

“There’s definitely something wrong.”

Chen Yan’s expression was serious.

“What happened?”

After a while longer, Lu Li stepped into the courtyard. Looking at Qian Xun lying in a pool of blood on the ground, he slightly furrowed his brow.

“Instructor Lu!”

Zheng Fei quickly went to meet him, then explained to Lu Li everything that had just happened.

Lu Li remained silent, merely walking over to Qian Xun who was lying on the ground with his last breath. He took out a small bottle of pills from his robe, gently tapped out one pill, and stuffed it into Qian Xun’s mouth.

Soon, Qian Xun’s breathing stabilized somewhat.

“Li Xiuxiu.”

Lu Li called Li Xiuxiu’s name from nearby.

“Your disciple is here.”

“The princess has decided to join Kongshan Sect. Go keep her company for a while, take a walk around the prince’s manor, and explain matters related to cultivation.”

Lu Li said slowly.

“Instructor Lu, I’m just an outer sect disciple, while after the princess enters the sect, she’ll be a personal disciple of an elder…”

Li Xiuxiu hesitated somewhat.

“It’s fine. The experiences everyone must go through in cultivation are the same for all, it’s only a matter of timing.”

Lu Li said.

“Your disciple obeys.”

Li Xiuxiu responded, then walked toward the courtyard exit. When passing by Qian Xun lying on the ground, she glanced down at him.

“Chen Yan.”

Immediately after, Lu Li called his name.

“Your disciple is here.”

Chen Yan took a step forward and responded promptly.

“Go immediately to the stationed envoy residence in the city, write a letter to the sect, and request that an elder come to Cloud Prince Manor. Say that a disciple may have developed a serious problem, and that Lu Li, instructor of Qingchan Peak’s Scripture Hall, cannot make the determination.”

Lu Li said.

“Your disciple understands.”

Chen Yan responded, then also prepared to walk out of the courtyard.

“Wait.”

Lu Li suddenly called out to Chen Yan who was walking away.

“Add one more sentence in your letter.”

Lu Li said.

“What?”

Chen Yan asked.

“Do not exclude the possibility of the Cause of Calamity.”

…

“Immortal Master.”

In the prince’s manor courtyard, Qin Yue stood up from the stone bench in the pavilion, then bowed to Li Xiuxiu who had just entered the courtyard.

She secretly glanced at Li Xiuxiu’s face. For some reason, she felt this immortal master’s expression was somewhat awkward and pale, as if something had happened.

“No need to be so formal.”

Li Xiuxiu forced a smile toward Qin Yue and said:

“I heard from Instructor Lu that you’ve decided to join Kongshan Sect, Princess. From now on, we’ll all be fellow practitioners of the immortal path.”

“Then…”

Qin Yue hesitated for a moment:

“Sister Li?”

“If the princess is willing, you may address me that way for now.”

Li Xiuxiu said.

Although Qin Yue was currently still just a prince’s manor princess from a mortal dynasty, once she stepped through Kongshan Sect’s mountain gates, everything would become different.

She had already been designated as the personal disciple of a certain inner court elder from Qingchan Peak, and that elder’s status within Qingchan Peak definitely wouldn’t be low either.

Since Cloud Prince had taken this opportunity to express loyalty to Kongshan Sect, Kongshan Sect naturally wouldn’t treat its followers poorly.

Moreover, Qin Yue’s innate talent wasn’t bad to begin with.

On the way to Taiyun City, she had heard from Instructor Lu Li that Qin Yue’s constitution was the Glazed Mirror Body, which only appears once among millions of cultivators.

“Sister Li, you seem somewhat unsettled. Is something wrong?”

Qin Yue asked Li Xiuxiu curiously.

“Princess need not worry.”

Li Xiuxiu still smiled at Qin Yue, but didn’t say anything.

Although she was a Qi Circulation Realm cultivator with confidence unmatched by mortal martial artists, when it came to mental fortitude alone, Li Xiuxiu was still just a female cultivator not yet twenty years old. Furthermore, since she joined Kongshan Sect at seven years old, she had always cultivated on the mountain, never descending.

In terms of mental fortitude alone, Li Xiuxiu might even be inferior to some girls in mortal dynasties who struggled for survival and were younger than her.

Her face couldn’t hide what was on her mind.

However, Li Xiuxiu didn’t plan to tell the princess about what happened with Qian Xun in the courtyard, as there was absolutely no need for it.

Seeing Li Xiuxiu say this, Qin Yue didn’t continue questioning further, thinking she must have some difficulty speaking about it.
