Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Zuo Lei was fuming with rage and claiming that he had come back this time to get answers, a voice seemed to be heard from not far away.

“You want an answer, I’ll give you an answer!”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and turned around.

The first thing he way was…

There seemed to be a slight fuctuation in the space at the door. Accompanied by a ripple-like pattern, a beautiful woman with a hint of gentleness appeared at the door.

It was Su Ruyu.

And…

Xu Bai was shocked when he saw the teleportation. Once again, he became very curious about An Ya’s level.

Above level 50?

Xu Bai thought to himself.

And…

Su Meng’s mother was an ordinary person?

Didn’t she cultivate?

Xu Bail s gaze landed on Su Ruyu.

This was the first time he had seen Su Ruyu today, and it was beyond his expectations. Just when he thought that Su Ruyu was also a transcendent, he realized that Su Ruyu did not have any indication of her rank.

Su Ruyu was just an ordinary person.

How was this possible?

Su Ruyu, who had located Zuo Lei from the Su Clan Manor and teleported over in just a second, glanced at Xu Bai once after landing at the door. Then, her gaze fell on Zuo Lei, who had a crazed expression on his face.

“You want to know the answer? Fine, I’ll tell you the answer.”

An Ya, who was standing at the side, instantly made a move and formed a sword with her right hand.

“Sword Domain!”

Buzz!

The sword Qi swept through the air and instantly landed, surrounding her and Xu Bai. It was as fierce as a hurricane, creating a small space between heaven and earth, completely blocked from the outside world.

“Domain: Sword Domain”

”Level:

Xu Bail s expression didn’t change at all as he looked at the sword domain formed by the dense sword Qi that identically matched its master’s personality. In fact, it was similar to its master’s sword domain, which was formed by the dense sword Qi that was formed by the cold wind and couldn’t be seen clearly.

“What is this?”

“The Sword Domain is a space that only belongs to me.”

Hearing An Ya’s explanation, Xu Bai nodded.

“What realm are you at?”

“Virtual entity!”

“What is this?”

“Borrowing a fake virtual entity to form a universe. This is the virtual entity, also known as the universe. It is above the Nascent Soul, below the Dao Integration.”

The system was small realm of two levels.

‘That’s not right.’

The Invigorated Meridian of the Human Path and the Foundation

Establishment of the Immortal Path were calculated from the beginning of the 30th year. The two levels were one.

He calculated.

Xu Bail s mind spun. Although he didn’t know the cultivation stages of the human path, he had a rough idea of the cultivation stages of the immortal path.

There were five realms in the immortal path.

Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Virtual Entity, and Dao Integration. In other words…

Hiss!

This cold-faced tiger was at least level 91?

After Xu Bai put this Realm into his unique numerical level system, he couldn’t help but gasp. He raised his head and looked at An Ya. This cold-faced tiger looked about the same age as him.

Why?

Why was it that even though everyone was about the same age, there was such a huge difference in their levels?

Level 91 at the very least?

‘Never mind.’

Xu Bai shook his head and looked around at the sword domain formed by countless small swords as thin as goose feathers. He changed the topic and looked at An Ya. “Did Su Bancheng use the Heavenly Secrets Technique to see me here?”

An Ya shook her head.

“He can’t see your heavenly secrets.”

“Is that so?”

“He saw Zuo Lei’s.”

I hate spoilers the most.”

Xu Bai was speechless. “Especially this kind of unreasonable spoiler. Speaking of which, doesn’t he have to pay a price for using it like this?”

An Ya shook her head. “Of course there’s a price to pay. Su Bancheng didn’t hesitate to drop three minor realms in order to find Zuo Lei and spy on the secrets of heaven. However, this case is very complicated. Even if you don’t give the case to Su Bancheng, he will do everything he can to stop you from investigating.”

He had dropped three minor realms?

Xu Bai frowned.

“What realm is Su Bancheng at?”

“He was originally a half-step Origin Returning Realm cultivator, but now, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to recover in a year or so.”

Su Bancheng boasted that he would recover after a day or two of seclusion.

But…

He was a man.

Exaggerating was expected, especially when it involved one’s own strength. It was the same as calling 20 minutes an hour.

It would take a year and a half to recover, but it was normal to say that it would take only a few days.

Xu Bai was stunned when he heard An Ya’s words.

“The price is that high?”

“Yes.”

“What happened to Su Meng?”

Xu Bai looked at An Ya in confusion.”Why would Su Bancheng risk his own cultivation realm to stop anyone from investigating?”

Rumors were still rumors and could not withstand any scrutiny.

He did not believe that Su Meng’s background would reflect the rumors circulating about him.

Previously.

Now that he heard An Ya say that Su Bancheng was determined to see through the secrets of the heavens even at the risk of losing his cultivation base, he completely refused to believe her.

If the rumors were true, Su Bancheng would probably kill them before they even had a chance to start rumors.

However, the fact that this rumor was still circulating could only mean one thing.

The truth was even scarier than this rumor.

Su Bancheng would rather watch as the rumors that insulted his and his sister’s reputation spread and remain unmoved. This meant that he would rather let others guess that the rumors were the truth than let others know the real truth.

What truth could be more terrifying than this rumor?

Hiss!

Xu Bai suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn’t sit still anymore. He took a deep breath and looked up at An Ya in horror.

“Difficult..

“What are you thinking about?”

An Ya seemed to know what Xu Bai wanted to say. When Xu Bai opened his mouth, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes and interrupt him. “The Archaic Mysteries Sect is one of the eight sects of the Immortal Dao. How could such a thing happen in the orthodox immortal cultivation?”

Xu Bai was stunned.

That was true.

But…

“What the hell is that?” “I don’t know.” “What?”

“I really don’t know.”

An Ya looked at Xu Bai.

“I only know that once outsiders find out about Su Meng’s background, Su

Meng will be in great danger. I’ve tried to investigate and it might be related to Su Mingli’s Nascent Soul Nine Death Karma 21 years ago. Do you know Su Mingli…

“I know. Zuo Lei said it just now.”

Lightning flashed in Xu Bail s mind. He looked at An Ya and said, “Oh right, the karma of the nine deaths. Zuo Lei said that Su Ruyu had shielded Su Mingli from the calamity and exchanged a life for a life. Logically speaking, Su Ruyu should have died, but she didn’t. The baby in her should should be Su Meng, but Su Meng didn’t die either. Her Dao foundation was only damaged.”

An Ya nodded. “Yes, the karma of nine deaths cannot be repayed without death.

But at the time, Su Ruyu was not fated to become Transcendent, and Su Meng’s Dao foundation was only damaged. Although the price was high, it was nothing compared to the karma of nine deaths.”

A Nascent Soul realm transcendent only paid the price of being unable to cultivate. If the damage to a Dao foundation could be resolved, wouldn’t the Su family be able to wholesale Nascent Soul realm transcendent experts?

Xu Bai frowned. He was confused.

An Ya looked at Xu Bai. “The Su family’s Heavenly Secrets Technique is best at sying on the secrets of heaven. It’s very likely that the reason why Su Meng and Ruyu are safe is related to this. That’s why the Su family would rather let this rumor spread than let others know the truth.”

Xu Bai didn’t say anything.

At this moment.

An Ya seemed to have sensed something. She extended her right hand again. In an instant, the sword beams surrounding her and Xu Bai instantly retracted and returned to their sword domains.

Xu Bai returned to his senses and looked to the side.

The first thing he saw was…

Su Ruyu and Zuo Lei were hugging each other on the ground. There was no longer any madness or anger on Zuo Lei’s face, but his eyes were still red. He kept apologizing to Su Ruyu with tears streaming down his face.

What happened?

Xu Bai frowned.

At this moment, Zuo Lei looked at Xu Bai and An Ya who had reappeared. He took a deep breath, wiped his tears, and looked at Xu Bai. “Agent Xu, I was the one who kidnapped Su Ruyu back then. I had no motive. I just wanted to kidnap her. That’s all. You can close this case now. I’ll turn myself in”

Xu Bail s eyebrows twitched.

“Team Leader An…”

Zuo Lei’s eyes fell on An Ya. He seemed to have a kind expression on his face, as if he was about to die. “I’m not the only one from the Great Desolate World’s Holy Sect who came this time. Like me, Monk Xie and Kwuangwu, who are also one of the Five Rouge Cultivators, are also here. Their goal is to meet Xiao

Jingnan next month for Two Moons in the Sky to welcome the arrival of the Holy Maiden” Monk Xie.

Kwuangwu.

Hearing this, An Ya frowned. “Where are they?”

Zuo Lei shook his head.” I don’t know. I landed in Yongzhou with them. After that, I returned to Feng City to get an answer. So, I separated from them from the very beginning. I only know that their destination will also be in Feng City.

That’s it.”

With that,

Zuo Lei no longer looked at An Ya. Instead, he turned his gaze back to Su Ruyu, who was hugging him. A bitter smile appeared on his face.

“I’m sorry, Ruyu. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

Su Ruyu didn’t say anything. She just shook her head and stayed silent. She was full of nostalgia, but she had an expression that she couldn’t let go. She quietly looked at Zuo Lei.

In the next second.

Zuo Lei retracted the reluctance in his eyes into the depths. Then, he extended his hand and pushed Su Ruyu away from his embrace. With a bang, the Internal Breath around him instantly surged.

It was as bright as fire!

BOOM!

Zuo Lei, who was surrounded by raging flames, sat cross-legged. His expression was emotionly as he quietly chanted the Holy Sect’s Great Light Scripture.

“Holy light shines, Holy fire shines…”

“What joy is there in life? What’s there to fear in death.. ‘

. Joy, sorrow, all return to dust!”

“Return to dust!”
