Chapter 308: Chapter 307: The Unlucky Deputy Master_1

On the way back to the Seek Dao Sect, Meng Jingzhou suddenly asked, “Since the wooden box contains Qin Haoran’s stuff, shouldn’t Junior Brother Li keep it?”

Lu Yang was silent for a moment before sincerely saying, “Believe me, Junior Brother Li definitely wouldn’t want that thing.”

After the seal on the wooden box was released, Lu Yang originally wanted to open it and take a peek at what was inside, but he was promptly stopped by Fairy Eternity.

“The box contains a debt note that involves the power of causality. Qin Haoran used the box to isolate the debt note from his own causality.”

“If the person who opens the wooden box is related to Qin Haoran, then that person will form a causal link with the debt note and have to repay the debt in place of Qin Haoran!”

“This debt note cannot be destroyed, or else the person who has a causal link with the note will suffer an attack equivalent to a full-scale hit at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage!”

“Presumably, Qin Haoran was unable to repay his debts, so he hid the debt note. Whoever digs out the wooden box as a treasure, is in for bad luck!” Fairy Eternity advised seriously, something quite uncommon for her.

Lu Yang took a deep breath, Qin Haoran was indeed worthy of being the Master of the demonic sect, his way of doing things was savage enough.

He wondered who the unlucky one would be to form a causal link with the debt note.

At the same time, Lu Yang understood something, no wonder the seal on the box was an Essence Blood seal.

Qin Haoran never intended to allow his reincarnated self to open the seal.

He was not a fool, why would he let his next life bear such a heavy debt?

…

At the Nine Nether Sect’s headquarters, dark clouds hung low, and a rare thunder tribulation brewed in the sky after a hundred years.

Suddenly, a thick purple lightning instantly illuminated the entire sky like a huge ball of electricity bursting open, spreading out in all directions.

Under its radiance, everything appeared unnaturally clear, as if time had been paused.

Then, another thick lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a second, then a third…

With the passage of time, Shi Huagu had become so pitiful to behold under the relentless bombardment of lightning that he had turned to charcoal.

After the thunder and lightning passed, Shi Huagu opened his eyes.

“Cough cough ——”

A puff of smoke mixed with the smell of burnt flesh came out of his mouth.

“Damn, I almost thought I was going to die just now.” Shi Huagu grumbled, still scared.

Cultivators of their kind, with yin attribute, were most afraid of yang thunder. If it weren’t for his solid foundation, he would have been undoubtedly dead earlier.

What was strange was that, under such a strong onslaught of thunder to the point it was almost liquid, everything around was devastated, Shi Huagu’s clothes had been charred, yet the debt note seemed unaffected by the thunder, sitting there unharmed.

Shi Huagu felt angry whenever he saw the debt note, and wished he could smash it to pieces with a slap.

But he knew the power of the debt note, if he dare to destroy it, a stronger thunder will descend.

And that would be a downright deadly situation.

If he doesn’t pay back the money, the debt note will bring down the Five Lightning Strikes every month.

Who could withstand it?

Now there are two ways, either break through the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, or pay back the debt.

One billion Spirit Stones, even his entire fortune doesn’t add up to so much.

“Debt transfer, worthy of Master Qin who can rob Peter to pay Paul.” Shi Huagu’s eyes were icily intimidating.

He thought about transferring the debt note again, but unfortunately the debt note had already formed a causal link with him. Until the causal link disappears, the note cannot be transferred.

“Heaven’s Court, is that so? Very well, they’re throwing their weight around!” Shi Huagu gritted his teeth, the opponent was really calculated.

Lord Mi and Divinity Transformation Stage returned, and saw Shi Huagu who looked like a piece of charcoal, they asked attentively, “Deputy Master, are you okay?”

Shi Huagu darkened, “Do I look okay to you?”

The Divinity Transformation Stage understood what Shi Huagu meant and asked very carefully,

“Deputy Master, is there something wrong?”

Shi Huagu tried to suppress his urge to kill.

“Find the Master!” Shi Huagu cleaned his body with a magic skill, changed his clothes, put on a wig —— his hair had been burnt to a crisp under the Five Lightning Strikes and it would take a while to grow new ones.

Neither Lord Mi nor the Divinity Transformation Stage dared to mention what had happened before their arrival at the sect.

Lord Mi, being in a neutral position, originally intended to hand the wooden box directly to the Master, but the Divinity Transformation Stage was Shi Huagu’s confidant and would not allow Lord Mi to do so.

Under the strong demand of the Divinity Transformation Stage, the wooden box was successfully opened by Shi Huagu.

If this matter were known to Shi Huagu, he would definitely slap the Divinity Transformation Stage to death, not scattering his ashes would not be enough to vent his anger.

Lord Mi now had a hold on the Divinity Transformation Stage.

…

The current Master of the Nine Nether Sect was a handsome young man who seemed somewhat out of place with the dark atmosphere of the Nine Nether Sect.

“Heavenly Court?”

The Master was in deep thought, thinking about something. After a long time, he slowly asked, “Do you think this Heaven’s Court Sect has money? Can they lend us some?”

“What?” Shi Huagu thought his brain that had been struck by lightning wasn’t functioning well.

“Ah no, it’s nothing, I just meant, so it’s the Heavenly Court Sect.” The Master quickly corrected himself.

After becoming the Master and seeing the monthly deficit reports, he realized how difficult it had been for the previous Master.

He worked diligently, learned finance for the sake of the faith, conducted market surveys, on-the-ground investigations, started from small details, identified business opportunities, opened up various new industries, worked hard to earn money, and maintained the existence of the Nine Nether Sect.

Unfortunately, in the face of the bottomless pit of constructing Fengdu, no matter how many Spirit Stones were earned, they were never enough.

This was something he couldn’t tell others as it would easily cause panic.

Facing the suppression of the Righteous Path was already stressful enough, if the members knew about the financial state of the Nine Nether Sect now, they might even have thoughts of surrendering.

So, he greatly admired Qin Haoran, who was able to maintain the daily operations of the Nine Nether Sect despite losing so much money.

If he knew that Qin Haoran was still able to start a family and secure his livelihood even in such circumstances, he would probably admire him even more.

“Qin Haoran’s reincarnation…”

He had previously thought that Qin Haoran’s reincarnation was a lie concocted by the three deputy Masters to compete for Qin Haoran’s legacy. Although the doctrine of the Nine Nether Sect mentioned [Reincarnation], theoretically it could be achieved.

But in the long history of the Nine Nether Sect, he had never heard of anyone achieving reincarnation.

Now, an ancient Heavenly Court had emerged and found Qin Haoran’s reincarnation, and it turned out that Qin Haoran’s reincarnated body was a woman.

Although it sounds strange, upon careful consideration it is quite reasonable.

“Are you sure it’s Qin Haoran’s thing?”

Shi Huagu silently took out the debt note.

Shi Huagu had no idea about the sect’s debt, he thought this kind of debt note was purposely left by Qin Haoran to set up a trap.

The moment he saw the debt note, the Master understood that this was definitely something left by Qin Haoran, it couldn’t be faked.

And he remembered that Qin Haoran was proficient in causality and the Array Method, and could block and transfer causality.

“So it turns out that this Heavenly Court Sect and Qin Haoran’s reincarnation do have a high degree of credibility.”

“Call the other two deputy Masters, let’s have a meeting.”

“And about this ten billion Spirit Stones, can it be taken out from the treasury?” Shi Huagu didn’t want to be struck by thunder every month.

The Master solemnly said, “Your acceptance of Qin Haoran’s heritage is a private matter, you can’t use the public account, we must keep business and personal separate!”

“However, I have a small suggestion.”

“Master, please say.”

“Next time you get struck by lightning, could you please do it a bit further away from the headquarters? Fixing the headquarters costs money.”
