Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

The entire main hall instantly fell silent. Everyone, including Wen Hongli and Bai Qiming, was stunned for a moment.

The Kongshan Supreme Imperial Law Decree!

This was the token of the Supreme Imperial Law Elder, Huo Mu.

It must be known that unless under special circumstances, Grand Elders do not interfere with sect affairs.

The death of Qin Yue, the nature of this matter was absolutely quite serious.

But everyone believed it was still far from serious enough to alarm the Supreme Imperial Law Court.

Yet, He Furen was precisely holding Huo Mu’s token in his hand.

“……”

Everyone remained silent.

The command of the Supreme Imperial Law Elder was not to be disobeyed.

Since Huo Mu ordered the Kongshan Sect to investigate all cultivators above the Passable God Realm, including those from the other four great sects, then Wen Hongli and the others could only comply.

As for all possible consequences that might arise, they would be borne by Huo Mu himself and the Kongshan Imperial Law Court he presided over.

Now that the Kongshan Supreme Imperial Law Decree had been issued, it already represented the formal intervention of a Divine Ability realm powerhouse, a Grand Elder.

Then no matter what, the Grand Elders of the other four great sects would absolutely not sit idly by.

The matter had truly escalated now.

The slightest misstep could lead to a deterioration of relations between the five great sects. As the situation expanded, it might even ultimately lead to a large-scale war within the immortal path.

But as mentioned before, the commands issued by He Furen, who held the Kongshan Supreme Imperial Law Decree at this moment, represented the personal orders of Supreme Imperial Law Elder Huo Mu.

Wen Hongli, Bai Qiming, Zhong Yin, and the others, as Peak Elders of the Kongshan Sect, could only choose to execute them unconditionally.

“Do any of the esteemed elders still have any objections?”

He Furen said with a smile.

No one spoke.

“Then, let us begin.”

He Furen said.

“Before that, I wish to first see my disciple.”

Bai Qiming stood up and said calmly.

The old man’s eyes did not reveal any trace of sorrow, only disappointment.

“Chen Yan.”

Zhong Yin called Chen Yan’s name.

“Disciple is here.”

Chen Yan took a step forward.

“You take Elder Bai to see Qin Yue.”

…

Chu Xiyao, the Chief Disciple of Qingchan Peak, belonged to Fu Qian’s lineage, which was quite at odds with Bai Qiming’s Qingchan True Dharma lineage. This was common knowledge among the inner sect members of the Kongshan Sect.

Therefore, among the Kongshan Sect disciples currently present, none were more suitable than Chen Yan to take Bai Qiming to see Qin Yue’s corpse.

Chen Yan pushed open the door to the room where Qin Yue’s body was placed.

The young girl dressed in a cyan long skirt lay quietly on a long chair in the hall, as if she were asleep.

Bai Qiming walked a few more steps into the hall and stood before Qin Yue’s corpse.

“What a pity, this child.”

Bai Qiming sighed softly.

“My condolences, Elder Bai.”

Chen Yan said.

“Why should I need condolences? The partings and deaths I have experienced are already too numerous to count.”

Bai Qiming shook his head and said:

“Do you remember when we last met?”

“Over a year ago. At that time, this disciple was not yet the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain.”

Chen Yan replied.

“Correct. Over a year ago, the reason Qin Yue was able to safely reach the Kongshan Sect was also thanks to you. For that, I am very grateful.”

Bai Qiming said slowly:

“From that moment, I had already discovered that you, Chen Yan, were definitely someone remarkable. As I expected, in just over a year, you climbed from an outer sect disciple to the position of Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain.”

Faced with Bai Qiming’s praise, Chen Yan did not speak.

“I think there’s nothing I need to hide from you. After all, given your current status, you should be fully aware of the matters on our Qingchan Peak.”

Bai Qiming continued:

“From the moment Elder Fu Qian sent people to act against Lu Li and Qin Yue, I was already prepared to completely break with him. But for some reason, after that, Elder Fu Qian suddenly began to retract all his arrangements, as if he were afraid of something, only seeking self-preservation.”

It was because of the list Song Mingde gave him.

The list contained a total of thirteen names. The most significant name among them was Huo Mu, the famously renowned Kongshan Supreme Imperial Law Elder.

“Chen Yan, do you have any clues?”

“Forgive this disciple for being dull-witted.”

Chen Yan shook his head.

“Hah, dull-witted?”

Bai Qiming sneered and shook his head:

“You are not dull-witted at all.”

However, Chen Yan knew deep down he was not a shrewd person. He believed the main reason others thought he was intelligent was due to the information gap he obtained through the Cycle of Reincarnation.

“Who do you think killed Qin Yue? Fu Qian?”

“This disciple does not know.”

“People from the other four great sects, for example, the Star Heaven Sect. They once wanted to take Qin Yue as a disciple too, didn’t they?”

“That is hard to say.”

“Or perhaps some unknown Passable God Realm cultivator who suddenly appeared from somewhere, wanting to create a big stir?”

“……”

Chen Yan remained silent. He could not give Bai Qiming any answer.

“But never mind. Since the Supreme Imperial Law Elder sent He Furen here, then we will follow his arrangements in everything.”

Bai Qiming shook his head and then said:

“Even if the sky falls, the Imperial Law Court will hold it up.”

Huo Mu. He Furen.

Because of Song Mingde’s list, when Chen Yan saw these two names connected, his first reaction was conspiracy.

Zhang Xishun wanted his life.

He Furen wanted his life.

Then what about Huo Mu? This eighth realm, Divine Ability realm powerhouse, the Kongshan Supreme Imperial Law Elder, did he also want his life?

Chen Yan did not know.

But he could be sure of one thing: if someone dared to want his life, he dared to give it.

After entering the Cycle of Reincarnation again, Chen Yan would return with more intelligence and higher cultivation, making a comeback.

In fact, Chen Yan always felt that since this incident occurred, there was always a certain sense of incongruity.

But if he had to say exactly what felt incongruous, Chen Yan still couldn’t put his finger on it.

“Let’s leave it at that for now. There are still important matters to attend to.”

Bai Qiming let out a soft sigh, then turned and walked out of Qin Yue’s mortuary room.

Just like that?

Chen Yan stared at Bai Qiming’s retreating back, slightly taken aback.

Come to think of it, Qin Yue had only been his personal disciple for a total of one year. For Bai Qiming, Qin Yue was less like his disciple and more like a chess piece, a tool he used to counter Chu Xiyao.

And now, Bai Qiming had clearly realized something as well.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan lowered his head and looked at Qin Yue’s face lying on the long chair.

Chen Yan was different from Bai Qiming.

He did not think Qin Yue’s death was a pity.

Chen Yan only felt Qin Yue was pitiful.

Some were angry because her death caused the Kongshan Sect to lose face; others were wary because her death might expose some formidable conspiracy.

But not a single person felt sorrow because of her death.

No, perhaps His Highness the Cloud Prince, far away in Taiyun City, would shed tears.

Chen Yan thought to himself.
