Chapter 233: Chapter 232: Elder Brother Dai, We Have Captured the Master of the Nine Nether Sect_1

“Are you sure you were the master of the Nine Nether Sect in your previous life?” Lu Yang looked up and down at Li Haoran, unable to associate him with the master of the Nine Nether Sect.

Li Haoran hesitated: “There is a high probability, didn’t Yiren say it? As I elevate my realm, I will regain some fragmented memories and remember things from my past life.”

“After I just broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, an image flashed in my mind.”

“In the image, there was a man dressed in black, likely a subordinate of mine. It was pitch dark around him, making the surroundings unclear.”

“My subordinate was holding a few pieces of paper and said, ‘Master, this is the annual income and expenditure of our sect in Spirit Stones, please review it.’ After I took it over, the first line of the paper was ‘Nine Nether Sect’s income and expenditure of Spirit Stones.’

“Before I could look at the rest, the image disappeared.”

“Being called ‘Master’ and shown the accounts of the Nine Nether Sect, it’s obviously an easy deduction of my past life’s identity.”

The Nine Nether Sect, one of the Four Great Devil Sects.

Just as no one knows the name of the master of the Eternity Sect, no one knows the name of the master of the Nine Nether Sect.

Now Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou know, it is Qin Haoran.

Lu Yang pondered, based on this, Li Haoran really could be the reincarnation of the master of the Nine Nether Sect.

He looked at Meng Jingzhou, who was also deep in thought: “What do you think?”

Meng Jingzhou looked up, frowning: “The Nine Nether Sect seems a bit poor, they don’t even light a lamp.”

“…”

Lu Yang did not focus on Meng Jingzhou’s odd focus point and analyzed: “If Junior Brother Li was the master of the Nine Nether Sect in his previous life, then some of the things that Senior Su mentioned would match.”

“For example, why no one knows about Qin Haoran, who is a late Unification cultivator, he could either be a hermit cultivator like Senior Su, or perhaps he has a special identity that cannot be revealed.”

“Another example is why Qin Haoran was chased at the beginning, there are generally two situations, one is obtaining an extremely precious magic artifact and the murderer wants to kill and take the property. The other is that Qin Haoran has a high position and the murderer wants to seize power.”

“The first type is unlikely to happen in the Central Continent, in that situation Qin Haoran’s response should have been to seek help from the Great Xia Dynasty. As such, the following situation of Qin Haoran rushing into Senior Su’s cultivation land would not have happened.”

“So the second type is very likely, at that time there was a rebellion within the Nine Nether Sect, someone wanted to seize power and Qin Haoran was seriously injured because he could not resist.”

“Qin Haoran never told Senior Su about his identity, saying that the work he does is very dangerous and Senior Su can ensure safety only if he is unaware. The master of the Four Great Devil Sects certainly couldn’t tell Senior Su. If Senior Su knew Qin Haoran’s identity and the Nine Nether Sect’s affairs were exposed, Senior Su would also be severely punished.”

“Qin Haoran also said that he had a special identity. If he doesn’t break through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he would have to remain hidden his entire life. If the master of the devil sects becomes a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, he can do many things he didn’t dare do before.”

In fact, Lu Yang had guesses about Qin Haoran’s identity for a long time, but without evidence, he couldn’t tell Su Yiren that her husband was part of a devil sect and was not a good thing.

Lu Yang looked at Li Haoran and smiled: “Junior Brother Li, do you believe now that you are the reincarnation of Qin Haoran?”

Actually, Lu Yang also suspected that Su Yiren might have fabricated a piece of memory and implanted it into Li Haoran’s mind. The possibility is small, but it is there.

However, after confirmation by Fairy Eternity, it was confirmed that this was Li Haoran’s own memory and no one tampered with it.

Li Haoran had a downcast look, with this happening, whether he believes it or not, he had to believe it.

Suddenly, he remembered another problem and broke out in a cold sweat: “The Great Xia Dynasty doesn’t have a legal system that pursues the past life’s responsibilities, right?”

Lu Yang quickly went through the books he had read in his mind and confidently said: “No, the law of the Great Xia Dynasty is based on the principle that once a person dies, their debts are written off. You have reincarnated, the Great Xia Dynasty cannot control you.”

Li Haoran breathed a sigh of relief.

“You three got up so early?” Li Haoran’s mother saw the three of them cultivating in the yard and smiled.

“Aunt, Haoran just broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.” Lu Yang replied with a smile.

Both of Li Haoran’s parents were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Previously, Li Haoran had surpassed his parents in combat power, now he had also surpassed them in the realm, which made Li Haoran’s mother very happy.

Li Haoran could not tell his parents about his past life’s identity, as this would only cause unnecessary worry.

“Oh, we should celebrate, didn’t I say that mixing with Little Lu and Little Meng would help you progress.”

Li Haoran: “…Yes, yes, yes.”

During the celebratory meal, Li Haoran informed his parents that he would be returning to the sect, which surprised them.

Li Haoran’s previous life as the master of the Nine Nether Sect was too big of a deal that three of them alone couldn’t handle, they had to report back to the sect as soon as possible.

“You’ve only been here for a few days and you’re leaving already. Have Little Lu and Little Meng had enough fun?”

Lu Yang put down his chopsticks, his lips hinting at an irresistible smile: “Junior Brother Li had a breakthrough, so he needs the senior cultivators of the sect to assist in consolidating his cultivation level. We need to go back as soon as possible.”

This was a lie, the Seek Dao Sect always advocated solitary cultivation and does not need senior cultivators to assist in consolidating cultivation level, but Lu Yang’s tone was sincere and easily believed.

Upon hearing this, Li Haoran’s parents did not persuade the three of them to stay a few more days.

Still pulled by the old horse, the three of them returned to the Seek Dao Sect.

Meng Jingzhou urged the old horse to return to the sect as soon as possible. The old horse nodded slowly, as casual as before, but each step could span hundreds to thousands of miles.

“Junior Brother Li, your identity as the master of the Nine Nether Sect is very can be exploited. When we return to the sect, with proper management, we could make a fortune. After all it’s done, we could split it thirty-seventy, how about it?”

“There’s such a good thing?”

“Of course, but it might be a bit inconvenient for you, Junior Brother.”

In no time, the three of them returned to the Seek Dao Sect and entered the Task Hall.

“Is Elder Brother Dai inside?” Lu Yang asked the brother on duty.

The brother on duty looked up and saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou brimming with smiles, and the burlap bag Meng Jingzhou had slung over his shoulder.

“Elder Brother Dai is inside. He has instructed that if you two have anything to look for him, just go straight in. You don’t need to report. But, what’s in this bag…”

“Spoils of war.”

“Oh, then go in.” The brother on duty didn’t think too much. It certainly wouldn’t be anything dangerous.

The two of them carried the bag to Dai Bufan’s room. Dai Bufan was still perusing the archives, in search of clues for tasks.

“Why are you two here? What can I do for you?”

Meng Jingzhou preemptively stated, “Great news, Elder Brother Dai. After our relentless efforts, we finally caught the master of the Nine Nether Sect. Just not sure how much contribution points this achievement can earn.”

“The master of the Nine Nether Sect?” Dai Bufan suspiciously looked into Meng Jingzhou’s eyes. Meng Jingzhou was not lying and in good conscience, met Dai Bufan’s eyes.

Dai Bufan then looked at Lu Yang, who likewise met Dai Bufan’s gaze without guilt.

Dai Bufan’s doubt deepened, he didn’t understand what sort of game these two were playing, and was inwardly puzzled.

“Where is the master of the Nine Nether Sect?”

Meng Jingzhou opened the mouth of the burlap bag revealing Li Haoran who was gagged and tied up, he pointed at him and stated proudly: “This is the one!”

Dai Bufan: “…”

Do you two think I’m an idiot?
