  In the Jiuyang Sect’s great hall…


  Dongfang Lie said excitedly, “Sect Master, now is the right time to take advantage of the situation to eradicate the forces behind Wang Wei and others completely, as well as to take full control of Qing Province before they can get back on their feet!”


  Zhang Ren, the First Seat of Chunyang Sect, shook his head. “No, I don’t think so. If we go after them right now, our reputation will be affected. Not only that, but we might bring about a rebellion and make ourselves look like the bad guys if we strike again.”


  “Bad guys? Are you serious?” Dongfang Lie harrumphed. “In the mouths of the besieged clans, for them, yes, we’re the bad guys. But to the common folks, we represent order. Those who disrupt the order should pay with their lives. As for our reputation, that’s easy. We just need to dispatch our disciples and help the common folks with some things such as repairing the bridges, paving the roads, praying for rain, providing support during floods, or even punishing the landlords and the bullies. In less than two years, I believe we’ll be able to make a good image of ourselves amongst the people. It is too easy to improve our reputation. I don’t think that’s a problem at all.”


  “You’re right, but…” Zhang Ren said, his expression stern, “Our biggest enemy hasn’t shown up yet! Do you know how many people or experts outside of Qing Province have their eyes on us? If we dispatch our disciples to help the common folks, what if they get killed by them?”


  “So, are we just going to keep waiting?”


  “Yes! We just need to wait for the next batch of enemies! Then we’ll get rid of them all in one

  go!”


  “Alright!” Yan Yan chimed in, “We will wait, but we can’t wait for so long. Besides, we also need eyes and ears all over Qing Province so that we’ll know what’s going on in the province at all times!”


  Everything would come along once a plan had been formulated.

  Chuyang Peak… The sun was setting, and the trees were whistling along with the wind. There were eight dishes on the table right now.

  “This is so good. Even the Sect Master of the Riyue Sect would only get a chance to enjoy a feast like this once a year, but I can eat it here every day!” Xi Yao said. Divine light was emitting from her body, further accentuating her beauty. “My mana is increasing, and my body is changing. I’m becoming stronger and stronger, and this is amazing!”


  Linglong sighed. “It’s over.” “What do you mean by it’s over?” Xi Yao asked as she looked at Linglong. Suddenly, she sensed something and chuckled. “I’m just talking about the food. I know what I should do and what I shouldn’t, so you can rest assured.”


  “Well, it’s good that you understand that,” Linglong said.

  Jiang Ming listened to their conversation as he chuckled inwardly.

  “Brother Jiang, you don’t mind me eating here every day, right?” Xi Yao asked, looking at Jiang Ming like a kitten waiting for food.

  “Of course, I don’t mind,” Jiang Ming laughed, “I have plenty of ingredients left that would last us for another hundred years. Besides, even if we run out of food, I can just go to get some from the East Sea.”


  “To use hundreds of millions of sea creatures in the East Sea as ingredients, I believe there’s no one in this world other than my Senior Brother who can do it,” Linglong said as she looked admiringly at Jiang Ming. After that, she looked at Xi Yao, whose face and eyes were brimming with light, and asked, “Are you sure you can take him on?” Xi Yao was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat.

  She knew Jiang Ming was not lying or boasting when he said he was going to use the sea creatures in the East Sea as his personal food source. She just couldn’t explain the feeling that was tugging at her heart, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake it off.

  ‘I’ve fallen for him!’ Xi Yao was stunned when the realization finally hit her.

  If it hadn’t been for Linglong, she wouldn’t have realized it. Now that she had realized it, she had to think about it.

  ‘Should I leave? No. This is a test for me, and I must get over it. If I can get over it, my state of mind will get better, and it’ll help a lot in my cultivation in the future. What if I can’t get over the test? That’s not even a problem for me. I’m the Holy Daughter of the Riyue Sect, and there’s no way I can’t get over something like this. What I seek is the path of immortality, and every obstacle that stands in my way will only make me stronger.’


  Xi Yao became more determined as a smile appeared on her face.

  Linglong looked at her and pouted. It went without saying that she knew what Xi Yao was thinking about.

  ‘Seems like my Senior Brother is going to have a taste of a Holy Daughter. No, I won’t let that happen. I have many clones with me. Each of them can have different personalities and figures. I’m sure I’ll be able to satisfy my Senior Brother,’ Linglong thought.

  Jiang Ming thought for a while and put his chopsticks down. “Linglong, please take care of the dishes afterward. I’m going out for a while!”


  “Sure,” Linglong nodded. “Please be careful, Senior Brother!”


  Jiang Ming nodded and vanished into the air.

  30,000 miles away, Liu Yu appeared, her face pale and her arm severed.

  “Jiuyang Sect!” Her face was contorted with rage. “I must destroy you one day!”


  She took out a pill and swallowed it. Her shoulder wriggled, and a new arm grew out of the wound.

  “I still need some time to get used to it before I can regain my previous strength!” Liu Yu said as she swung her arm.

  After all, she had just grown a new arm. It was weak, and she needed some time to get used to it.

  Swoosh!

  A streak of light appeared and landed beside her. It turned into a human figure, and it was none other than Xiao Hai. “Sister Yu, I immediately rushed over as soon as I received your message. Judging from your condition, could it be that you’ve failed?”


  “Yes, I’ve failed,” Liu Yu said, “I had no idea that a righteous sect like the Jiuyang Sect would slaughter the alliance of so many clans without any qualms. They should have called themselves an evil sect instead!”


  “How is this possible? If the Jiuyang Sect wants to expand, how can it not care about its reputation?” Xiao Hai frowned. “Anyway, what’s done cannot be undone. The experts from the Fo Sect are on their way here. I also received information from Brother Xuan that other experts from other provinces are coming this way as well. Many people were reluctant to attack the Jiuyang Sect in the past, but now since they’ve committed such an atrocity, I’m certain that no one is happy with them. For the Fo Sect, no matter if they want to get their revenge or spread their influence in Qing Province, the Jiuyang Sect will be an obstruction for them, and they must get rid of them first. The Qingyun Sect is the Sacred Land. Although they’re going down the hill, they’re still very powerful. I’m sure they won’t let the Jiuyang Sect get what they want. Even if they don’t show themselves, they will do something in secret to hinder the Jiuyang Sect.”


  “So, does this mean that the Jiuyang Sect is

  over?”


  “Yes!”


  “Well then, we should just sit and watch. No, we have to do something in the dark. We need to act fast, or else we won’t have enough time!”


  “Calm down, Sister Yu. Brother Xuan is already planning. By the way, is the Jiuyang Sect really that powerful? Even you can’t defeat them?”


  “I have no idea who it is since they didn’t show themselves. They just swung their sword, and it nearly killed me. In my opinion, it should be a Level 9 expert. However, what is strange is that they didn’t come after me.”


  “Perhaps they don’t know where you come from, so they didn’t dare to do anything rashly. Should we consult our boss?”


  “No, our boss is our trump card and our final hope when everything has fallen through.”


  Both of them were talking, yet neither of them realized that Jiang Ming was observing them in the sky above.

  “Ming Hai, Level 7, Primal Spirit Realm.”


  Jiang Ming looked at them.

  Xiao Hao was at the peak of the Primal Spirit Realm, so he was someone to be reckoned with.

  “Brother Xuan and their boss, huh…” Jiang Ming mumbled, “One of them is planning from the back, while another is their final hope…”


  “It would be easy to locate Brother Xuan since he has formed connections with the people outside. As for their boss… Well, this is hard. How exactly is the karma between them severed? Is it some sort of protection from the Reincarnation Hall or a special item? If it’s a special item, it should also be able to cut off all the karma that comes from interacting with others after coming here.”


  As the thought surfaced in his mind, he turned around and left.

  Judging from their conversation, he knew that they had already found out he was the one who killed Long Qian.

  If he killed both of them now, the other two members would certainly be able to know about it. If they went into hiding, it would be very difficult to look for them.

  “Since their boss is their last hope, he won’t show up easily. But I’m sure he’ll be observing everything from the side, so he must be in Qing Province now as well. If he’s their boss, he should be at the Paradis Realm, and if that’s true, it’ll be easy to find him!”


  Jiang Ming thought and activated his Paradis Projection. It just covered a hundred-mile radius in the beginning. Then, the projection began to fade away. It merged into the law of the universe and began to spread out far. It only stopped after it reached about 100,000 kilometers.

  Jiang Ming used his Paradis Projection as a medium and successfully located all of the experts that were hiding in Qing Province.

  He also noticed a lot of Purple Mansion experts and some Dao Seed experts. He did not find many Nascent Soul experts, and he did not find any experts with the realm higher than that. Suddenly, Jiang Ming realized something and looked toward the north. A group of ten or so Primal Spirit experts was heading toward the Jiuyang Sect.

  “A bunch of pieces of trash!”


  However, he did not do anything to them.

  After all, he was certain that the Jiuyang Sect was capable of dealing with them, so he decided to leave them for the Sect Master.

  After a short while, he noticed a group of monks, and the one leading them was a Paradis expert.

  “This is getting more and more interesting!” Jiang Ming chuckled.

  Finally, he found his target on the other side.

  It was a mountain, and there was a small sect on it. Its name was Kaoshan Sect, and the strongest of them was just a third-stage Golden Core expert.

  However, there was a Paradis expert amongst them. He sealed up the entire sect, and although all of the disciples were still alive, they were like marionettes.

  All of the female disciples were gathered up in a hall, serving a man with two horns on his head.

  Suddenly, the man on the bed jerked his head up, and his surroundings exploded, turning everyone in the hall into blood mist.

  “How vicious!” Jiang Ming had no idea that he would notice him. He also did not expect that he would kill his servants without any qualms.

  “Who are you?” Shan Hu asked as an armor appeared on him. He lifted his head and looked into the sky through the roof.

  As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the floor and came outside.

  “Why do you enslave a small sect?” Jiang Ming asked, his voice filled with rage.

  Swoosh!

  The Human Path Records was opened.

  Name: Shan Hu

  Race: Demon

  Gender: Male

  Cultivation Base: Level 8 (Paradis).

  Background: The Black Tiger Clan of the Xinghai Planar World (Note: Heaven Reincarnation Hall’s beneficiary, a member of Team Black Tiger)

  Relationship: -89

  Innate Talent: Ten Stars Status: A beneficiary of the Heaven Reincarnation Hall. Took on a C-level mission, Investigate the Jiuyang Sect, with his team members. After arriving here, he formed a plan with the other four teammates. One of them sneaked into the Jiuyang Sect, one went to persuade the Fo Sect experts, one enslaved the Great Monarchs of each clan in Qing Province to launch an attack on the Jiuyang Sect, while the last went around spreading the news. As the team’s last hope, he went into hiding and waited to see if his teammates could destroy the Jiuyang Sect or not. When he learned that Long Qian was dead, he was furious and sent Liu Yu to launch her attack first. In the meantime, he found a small sect and enslaved all of them. Just when he was having a good time, the alarm in his heart blared, and he knew someone was there.

  Jiang Ming was a little bit disappointed after looking through Shan Hu’s Status. He still couldn’t get the names of the other four members. “They really are overly cautious!’ Jiang Ming was rendered speechless.

  He had already found two Paradis experts.

  They had a fine, powerful team, and they should have pushed all their way across Qing Province. However, not only did they sever the karma between them, but they also went separate ways, and their boss went into hiding.

  The man in front of him was the boss.

  “I passed by here, and a female disciple caught my attention, so I came here to coddle them. They should feel honored!” Shan Hu sneered. “Who are you, and what are you doing here?” “It’s in human’s nature to help those in need. It would be fine if I didn’t encounter you, but since I’m here, there’s no way I’m going to ignore it,” Jiang Ming said, his eyes gloomy. “Are you going to attack the Jiuyang Sect too?” “You too?” Shan Hu was surprised.

  “Of course.” Jiang Ming’s gaze softened a bit. “I just came back from there. The Jiuyang Sect just crushed a batch of experts, and they’re strong. They even caught a spy, who was a Primal Spirit expert, and killed him. Oh yeah, if my memories still serve me right, his name should be Long Qian. Before he died, he sold his four other members out. I remember one of them is called Xuan something. The Jiuyang Sect is too powerful. I was too scared, so I decided to run. While I was running, I came across this place.”


  As he was talking, he was staring at the Human Paths Record.

  Unfortunately, the real name of “Xiao Xuan” did not appear.

  “Long Qian is dead?” Shan Hu’s eyes were spewing fire. Suddenly, his pupils constricted. “No, you were not going to attack the Jiuyang Sect. You’re one of them! Even if Long Qian was compromised, he would never sell us out. Who are you? How do you know there are five of us? And you’re here specifically to look for

  me!

  “D*mn it!

  “I have to run!”


  Shan Hu’s face turned pale when the realization dawned upon him. He shouted inwardly, ‘System! Hurry up and beam me back to the Reincarnation Hall!’


  It was also at this moment that Jiang Ming activated the Human Path Records. A blanket of light descended and enveloped Shan Hu. The Paradis Projection was activated as well and sealed the area.

  [Ding! Intercepted by a supreme weapon. Beneficiary Shan Hu, your authority is too low. Unable to transmit you back to the Reincarnation Hall.]

  (Ding! New SSS-Class mission: Investigate your opponent’s background. Different rewards will be given according to the degree of completing the mission.]

  (Ding! Please keep up with the good work and complete the mission as soon as possible, Beneficiary Shan Hu.]

  “D*mn it!” Shan Hu cursed out loud.

  ‘You can’t beam me back, and now you even gave me a new SSS-Class mission? I’m going to die soon!

  He was filled with fear and, at the same time, confused.

  “Who, who are you?” Shan Hu suppressed the fear and asked, “How do you know I’m here?”


  Jiang Ming chuckled. “I’ll ask the questions, and you need to answer them, do you understand?”


  “Understood!” Although Shan Hu was not happy about it, he understood that the man in front of him could kill him easily. Otherwise, the system wouldn’t have given him an SSS-Class mission.

  He also tried to run away, but he couldn’t. His surroundings were sealed, and he could barely move a single step. Since he was at the man’s mercy, he had to do everything he said.

  “How did you guys sever the karma between you all?” Jiang Ming asked.

  “Simple. It’s a feature of the past,” Shan Hu replied.

  “I see!” Jiang Ming replied.

  Although he did not say it explicitly, Jiang Ming knew he was telling him that it used to be one of the Reincarnation Hall’s features.

  Seeing Jiang Ming’s reaction, Shan Hu was stunned. ‘Could it be that he knows about the Reincarnation Hall? How is that possible? This is just a planar world, and the people here shouldn’t know about the Reincarnation Hall. Not only that, but he also possesses a supreme weapon that can prevent me from beaming back to the Reincarnation Hall? This is unbelievable!”


  “The strongest of your kind, are there any from the Great Chiliocosm?”


  Shan Hu opened his mouth, but the alarm in his head rang out.

  (Ding! Warning! Warning! Answering the question evasively is also leaking information. You’ll be erased if you leak any more information!]

  Shan Hu smiled bitterly. Human Path Records:

  Name: Shan Hu

  Status: Was being warned by the Reincarnation Hall. He was not allowed to divulge any information about the Reincarnation Hall, or else he would be erased.

  Jiang Ming was rendered speechless.

  “This Reincarnation Hall is too cautious. He can’t even answer my questions in an evasive way?’


  “What is your name?” Jiang Ming asked. “Your next question is my brothers’ names, right?” Shan Hu said calmly, “Since you know the karma between us has been severed, you should have a way to know who and where they are if you know their names. After knowing this, do you think I’d still tell him their names?”


  “In this case, then die!”


  Jiang Ming raised his finger and pierced through Shan Hu’s forehead.
