Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

Chapter 237: So They Are Upper Three Realms Great Powers!

The purpose of those cultivators hijacking the ferry was precisely because of Si Youyou.

As for Zhang Ming, the death of this personal disciple of a Lightning-Severing Sect elder was merely incidental.

Therefore, if the Lightning-Severing Sect wanted to regain face and find out who was truly behind the other party, they would have to investigate the secret on Si Youyou’s body.

This was also the reason why these several Lightning-Severing Sect disciples before them had come looking for them.

“Little girl…”

The leading Lightning-Severing Sect disciple’s gaze fell upon Si Youyou, who was hiding behind Chen Yan.

“Wherever Chen Yan is, I’ll be there!”

Si Youyou poked her little head out from behind Chen Yan and shouted towards the leading Lightning-Severing Sect disciple.

“Chen Yan?”

That Lightning-Severing Sect disciple was taken aback, then looked towards Chen Yan standing in front of Si Youyou:

“May I ask, Fellow Daoist, who is this Chen Yan…”

“That would be me.”

Chen Yan answered, steeling himself.

“A fine name.”

The leading Lightning-Severing Sect disciple nodded in praise.

“A few years back, the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain of the Kongshan Sect was also named that. Chief Disciple Chen was a rare talent of a generation, it’s just a pity… ah.”

He then immediately followed with a sigh and a shake of his head, before looking up again:

“Fellow Daoist Chen, could you bring this little girl and return to the Lightning-Severing Sect with us to have a talk with our elder?”

Chen Yan did not immediately agree to the Lightning-Severing Sect disciple’s request. Instead, his gaze searched for something on the deck, finally locking onto a young man who was quietly trying to slip into the cabin:

“Of course we can, but that person is my senior traveling companion. I hope the various Fellow Daoists of the Lightning-Severing Sect will permit him to go with us.”

…

Hmph, trying to run away?

Looking at Mr. You sitting beside him, Chen Yan thought to himself.

At this moment, Chen Yan, Youyou, and Mr. You were sitting in a carriage heading towards the Lightning-Severing Sect.

Ever since boarding the carriage, Mr. You had not given Chen Yan a single good look.

“This is your cause and effect, Mr. You.”

Seeing Mr. You pulling a long face beside him, Chen Yan spoke to him calmly.

“Bullshit cause and effect!”

Mr. You cursed loudly:

“Since when is it your turn, kid, to lecture me about cause and effect?”

“The moment you decided to take action and save Youyou, this current outcome was already destined.”

Chen Yan continued in a calm, even tone.

“Destined my ass! What realm are you in, to dare talk so big about cause and effect with me?”

Mr. You continued.

“I’m not peering into the secrets of heaven, Mr. You.”

Chen Yan said:

“It’s just intuition.”

He saw Mr. You instantly clench his fist, then open it again, take a deep breath, and slowly exhale.

The Lightning-Severing Sect handled things very properly.

Not only did they prepare a carriage for Chen Yan and the others, but upon arriving at the Lightning-Severing Sect, the tea and pastries used to receive them were also of considerable value, not something ordinary rogue cultivators could typically access.

Especially Youyou. From the moment she stepped into the reception room, the child’s gaze never left the pastries on the tea table.

Though greedy for treats, the child was also quite clever.

She knew when it was acceptable to eat and when it was not.

After about the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, two elderly men wearing the Lightning-Severing Sect’s purple daoist robes entered the reception room.

One was the Enforcement Hall elder of the Lightning-Severing Sect they had just seen not long ago at the Beiguang River Ferry. The other was seen for the first time.

“Three guests.”

The other elder thus bowed with clasped hands towards Chen Yan, Mr. You, and the others:

“I am Wang Hao, the library elder of the Lightning-Severing Sect. The young disciple of our sect who was killed by bandits on the ferry the other day was my personal disciple.”

“Elder Wang.”

Chen Yan stood up and bowed towards Wang Hao’s direction.

Mr. You also stood up and bowed, though he didn’t say a word.

Meanwhile, Si Youyou beside them looked up at Chen Yan’s and Mr. You’s actions, then mimicked them.

“I think the reason for inviting you all to our Lightning-Severing Sect is certainly known to everyone.”

The Lightning-Severing Sect’s Enforcement Hall elder, Pang Luxing, standing beside Wang Hao, said:

“According to what the ferry owner said, the reason those bandits hijacked the ferry was for a little girl of five or six years old, and that little girl is precisely this one traveling with you two Fellow Daoists.”

As he spoke, Pang Luxing shifted his gaze to Si Youyou beside them.

And Si Youyou inched a bit closer to hide behind Chen Yan again.

“Also according to the ferry owner, at that time, almost all the passengers on the ferry fainted in an instant. Then, when someone woke up, those bandits were already all dead.”

As he spoke, Pang Luxing moved his gaze away from Si Youyou, shifting it between Chen Yan and Mr. You.

Neither Chen Yan nor Mr. You spoke.

The scene fell silent for a few breaths, and then, Pang Luxing and Wang Hao, these two Passable God Realm elders of the Lightning-Severing Sect, both bowed towards Chen Yan and Mr. You’s direction:

“Pang Luxing of the Lightning-Severing Sect pays respects to you two Seniors!”

“Wang Hao of the Lightning-Severing Sect pays respects to you two Seniors!”

The current situation was already quite clear.

Cultivators with a cultivation realm above the Passable God Realm could clearly see the cultivation level of cultivators whose realm was lower than their own. Even for a cultivator whose realm was higher than their own, although they couldn’t clearly see their true cultivation level, they could still sense that the other party’s strength was above their own.

Unless the other party’s cultivation was far higher than their own, would they be unable to sense any true qi flow from the other party.

Moreover, based on the ferry owner’s description and the intact condition of the bodies of those hijacking cultivators, it undoubtedly declared that the cause of death for these bandits was not external injuries, but the extinction of their spiritual consciousness.

So, who could have done such a thing?

Clearly, the two young cultivators before them were such formidable characters.

Upper Three Realms.

Only an Upper Three Realms cultivator could accomplish such a thing.

A Divine Ability Realm cultivator could easily kill any cultivator below the Passable God Realm with a single thought, and a Unity Realm cultivator could also extinguish another’s spiritual consciousness through certain means.

“…”

Chen Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to do. However, before he could fully react, he saw Mr. You take a step forward:

“No need for such courtesy.”

Mr. You’s voice was detached and aloof, carrying the demeanor of a transcendent master.

The corner of Chen Yan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Although Mr. You was indeed the reincarnation of an Immortal Ascension Realm great power, and his current cultivation realm could basically be confirmed to be above Dao Union.

But when he saw Mr. You putting on such airs, it just felt very incongruous.

For the Lightning-Severing Sect, Zhang Ming’s death was already completely unimportant. The most important thing now was how to receive these two Upper Three Realms great powers before them.

“I have already sent someone to inform our sect’s Sect Master and two Grand Elders. A banquet will be prepared shortly. Our hospitality is lacking, we hope you two Seniors will be magnanimous.”

“Troubling yourselves with a banquet or such matters is unnecessary.”

Mr. You waved his hand:

“If possible, I hope the various Fellow Daoists of the Lightning-Severing Sect can help me find a certain pill.”

“Of course, no problem. May I ask what pill the Senior is looking for?”

Wang Hao asked.

“The Nine Revolutions Chaos Heaven Tempering Meridian Pill.”

Mr. You said.
