Chapter 336: Chapter 335: This Pill Can Sever Causality! (Thank you, Nautiluses, for the alliance leader’s reward)_1

Although, it’s not great to speak about a father’s indiscretion in front of his daughter.

When Li Haoran thought about the torment he had suffered from Qin Haoran’s memories, he let go of his guilt and started revealing Qin Haoran’s dark past.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou discreetly observed Qin Yanyan and found no signs of anger or disappointment on her face.

Qin Yanyan noticing their little act, retorted, “What are you both looking at? Isn’t it expected that someone from a demonic sect wouldn’t be a saint? Didn’t you think I could handle this?”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou thought about it and felt it made sense.

They never considered themselves to be part of any demonic sect.

Li Haoran spoke, “At that time, before Qin Haoran became the Master, he would spend as much as he had, never saving a dime. His motto was to live life in the moment.”

“So, when he had no money, he often sold his body, meaning he sold blood.”

“Of course, he was safety-conscious, he would wipe out any personal traces in his blood since there are magic skills that allow spells to be cast through someone’s blood, a situation Qin Haoran would want to avoid.”

“After the sudden death of the penultimate Master, Qin Haoran felt that the Nine Nether Sect had a lot of money. As a Master, he thought he could spend however he wanted.”

“However, after overcoming obstacles and defeating competitors to become the Master, he realized the Nine Nether Sect wasn’t as affluent as he thought.”

“And it was already too late to step down.”

Lu Yang could imagine how hopeless Qin Haoran felt at that time:

He became the Master in high spirits, hoping to rule as he liked, and lead a life of hedonism. But then he found out that the Nine Nether Sect was so poor they couldn’t even afford to pay their members’ monthly dues, and the people below were oblivious to this. Even if he told them the truth—that the previous master had invested it all—everyone would think Qin Haoran embezzled the money.

The previous Master was swindled? That’s impossible, when did it become someone else’s turn to scam their Sect? Qin Haoran must be lying!

So, after becoming the Master, Qin Haoran had to change his ways and focus on sincerely developing…or you could say maintaining the Nine Nether Sect.”

Lu Yang suspected that the current Master of the Nine Nether Sect had the same mindset: thinking being the Master is a good thing, only to realize it’s a pure burden after becoming one, hence the saying “Misfortune comes in a flood.”

The current Master can’t reveal the true situation, as people would wonder why as soon as he took charge, he was claiming the Nine Nether Sect had no money. Where did all the money go?

Lu Yang had a question, how was the current Master making money? Was he following Qin Haoran’s method and borrowing money?

An assertion from Li Haoran interrupted Lu Yang’s thoughts, “Of course, Qin Haoran’s regenerative abilities isn’t just for selling blood but also to sever causality. However, I’ve just newly formed my Golden Core and can’t use this method yet.”

“What do you mean?” Lu Yang hadn’t thought that regenerative abilities and something as profound as “Causality” could be connected.

Li Haoran explained, “Think about it, with regeneration, can a new arm grow back after it gets chopped off?”

“Yes.” Lu Yang nodded.

“Can a new leg grow back after it gets chopped off?”

“Yes.” Meng Jingzhou nodded.

“Can a new torso and organs grow back?”

“Yes.” Qin Yanyan nodded.

“Can a new head grow back after it gets chopped off?”

“Yes.” The Fifth Elder nodded.

Li Haoran smiled slightly and asked, “If the head, torso, and all the limbs grow back, isn’t it the same as renewing my entire body?”

“Would I still be the same ‘me’?”

“!!!”

“With my whole body renewed, I’m not the same me anymore. Can causality still find me?”

Lu Yang thought to himself, no wonder Qin Haoran could be the Master of the Nine Nether Sect, who would think of this?

“But, since this involves causality, and my realm is not yet stable, when it is, I might be able to achieve this.” Li Haoran felt pretty good about his Golden Core. Not only was it helpful in battles, but it also eliminates the effects of causality, living up to the term “rebirth”.

As they were talking, the shuttle returned to the Seek Dao Sect. The Fifth Elder took Li Haoran to meet other elders and Yun Zhi to check if there were any problems with forming Li Haoran’s Golden Core.

“Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Meng, Elder Brother Dai is looking for you.” Another Senior Brother informed Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou when he saw them.

The two were surprised, “He’s looking for us?”

They hadn’t done anything wrong when they went out, had they?

“Niece, you stay at the Hundred Refinement Peak. We will be back soon.” Lu Yang asked Qin Yanyan to stay and either cultivate or take a tour around the Seek Dao Sect to learn more about its environment.

It’s best to take a walk around the dining hall.

…

The two headed towards the Task Hall.

“Elder Brother Dai, you wanted to see us?”

“We had the Fifth Elder with us on our trip this time and we didn’t do anything inappropriate!” Lu Yang clarified his innocence right away.

Dai Bufan breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good. Every time you two go out, you always stir up trouble. I’m afraid one day you might even cause the fall of the demonic sects without me knowing what you did.”

Dai Bufan was in charge of collecting the intelligence for the Sect in place of the Grand Elder, and every time Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou came back from a trip, the information they brought always led to a reevaluation of his intelligence.

He feared that one day these two guys, with a high spirit, would report to him saying, “Elder Brother Dai, good news! We’ve taken care of the Four Great Devil Sects.”

Without any details, just a result handed to him, that would make him, the intelligence master, a complete failure.

To prevent such an incident from happening, he felt the need to know what they did every time they went out.

“This time, we made the Nine Nether Sect believe that our Heaven’s Court was established by a Great Power from ancient times. We took this opportunity to establish a long-term strategic cooperation with the Nine Nether Sect. We plan to open a barbecue joint together—we provide the technology, they provide the manpower. We get 60% of the profits, they get 40%.”

“I estimate that over time, when they figure out the rules of opening a shop, they’ll be able to speed up the process. I believe it won’t be long until we open a chain of barbecue shops all over the continent.”

Dai Bufan highly praised Lu Yang’s and Meng Jingzhou’s plan, “That’s good news. It seems that the Nine Nether Sect will be stable for a while. By the way, what identity did you assign to the Fifth Elder when you invited him?”

Less trouble was always good during turbulent times.

Meng Jingzhou honestly answered, “One of the Nine Protectors of Heaven’s Court, the Multi-treasure Heavenly King.”

Dai Bufan stretched his neck a bit, “Oh, Multi-treasure Heavenly King, it’s a good title, the Fifth Elder will like it… wait a minute, Nine Protectors? Where did these Nine Protectors come from?”

Lu Yang began to count on his fingers, “Eight Elders, and the Master, adding up to nine. We’re also planning to invite Eldest Senior Sister to be the Master. Our Heaven’s Court claims to the outsiders that it’s a major power capable of covering the sky with one hand. Having this kind of configuration doesn’t seem excessive, does it?”

“So, you plan to include all the high-ranking members of our Sect in your Heaven’s Court?!”
