Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 836: The Culprit

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Husband…”

Shen Ruyan was visibly startled.

Throughout the years, this was the first time she had seen her husband like

this.

“Did something happen?”

She immediately asked with concern.

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“I just received news that my senior brother, Zhao Tianfan, was severely injured in the battle against the Ghost Hall. His foundation has been damaged, and I need to go see him right away.”

“Has Senior Brother Zhao been brought back already?

Shen Ruyan asked with concern.

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“He has been brought back and is now recuperating on Shifu’s Shenwu Peak.

Ruyan, come with me to see him.”

“Alright!”

Shen Ruyan nodded immediately.

Soon, the couple left Cloud Mist Peak and made their way towards Shenwu

Peak.

Upon arriving at Shenwu Peak, they found Xie Xiangyao with a grim expression, looking at Zhao Tianfan, who was still unconscious on the bed.

Like Jiang Chengxuan, she had just received the news of her junior brother’s severe injury and had hurried over.

She turned to Qin Shenwu, her voice tinged with anger,

“Shifu, how is junior brother? Is there a chance for him to recover?”

Qin Shenwu1 s face was equally somber.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke in a hoarse voice,

“It’s difficult. Tianfan’s Primordial Spirit has suffered almost irreversible damage.

The only hope for his recovery lies in finding a Level 9 Nine-Colored Sky Lotus.

Other than that, maintaining his current cultivation level without falling would already be quite an achievement.”

“Who exactly inflicted such injuries on Senior Brother Zhao?”

Just then, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan entered.

Qin Shenwu and Xie Xiangyao weren’t surprised by their arrival.

They nodded slightly to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and then they heard

Xie Xiangyao say,

“It was the Ghost Hall’s Divine Lord Black and White and Divine Lord The

Netherworld.

However, the real instigator behind junior brother Zhao’s condition is Tai

Cangzi from the Qiankun Hall.

If it wasn’t for his intentional delay, preventing junior brother Zhao and his team from receiving timely assistance, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.”

“Tai Cangzi?”

Hearing the name Divine Lord Black and White and Divine Lord The Netherworld from Xie Xiangyao, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes sharply focused, clearly not expecting Zhao Tianfan’s severe injury to be connected to them.

“Senior Sister, I need to know more details about what happened.

Xie Xiangyao suddenly turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan seriously and nodded.

“Alright, since you want to know, I’ll tell you.”

Qin Shenwu did not stop her.

Xie Xiangyao said, “This mission involved junior brother Zhao and several other Seethrough cultivators from different sects coming together to aid the cultivators stationed in Immortal Sea City.

They were the first to arrive, so their battle with the Ghost Hall and other demonic sects broke out first.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Hall deployed Divine Lord Black and White and Divine Lord The Netherworld in a hidden manner.

These two are almost at the Dao Integration level, not just ordinary Seethrough powerhouses. Even those who have comprehended rule-based divine powers would struggle against them.

After a fierce battle, junior brother Zhao and his team were at a disadvantage. However, it was at this moment that cultivators from Qiankun Hall and other righteous sects arrived.

For some unknown reason, Tai Cangzi from Qiankun Hall ordered everyone to delay their aid.

They just watched as junior brother Zhao and others were defeated, one by one. Some were even slain by Divine Lord Black and White and Divine Lord The Netherworld right there.

If it weren’t for the life-saving measures Shifu had previously given junior brother Zhao, he might have ended up like those who perished.’

Listening to Xie Xiangyao’s narration, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt a surge of anger.

It would have been understandable if Tai Cangzi and the others had not arrived in time.

However, their inaction, even upon arrival, and watching Zhao Tianfan and the others being defeated, was utterly intolerable.

Why would they bother to come if they didn’t intend to help?

“What’s being done about this?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked towards Qin Shenwu for answers.

Xie Xiangyao responded before Qin Shenwu could, “Shifu has already sought an explanation from Qiankun Hall before.

Unfortunately, they have no intention of providing any.

Given that it was their territory, and even a Mahayana Daolord from Qiankun Hall came forward to rebuke Shifu, there was little he could do, especially during wartime.

If not for these circumstances, Shifu might have…”

Before Xie Xiangyao could finish, Qin Shenwu interrupted her.

“Alright, Xiangyao, let’s not dwell on these matters anymore.

Just be extra careful in the future.

Aside from our sect and Thunderclap Valley, be wary of individuals from other sects or families.

As for everything else, try not to get involved for the time being.

Turning to Jiang Chengxuan, Qin Shenwu managed to muster a rare smile and nodded,

“Chengxuan, you’re doing well. It seems you’re not far from advancing to the Seethrough stage.

Continue your cultivation in seclusion and strive to break through as soon as possible.”

It was clear that Qin Shenwu didn’t intend for Jiang Chengxuan to venture out at this time, including his dao companion Shen Ruyan and Xie Xiangyao. Especially concerningXie Xiangyao, he genuinely worried she might act impulsively.

So.

After addressing Jiang Chengxuan, Qin Shenwu turned to Xie Xiangyao,

“As for you, stay with me for the time being.

Once your junior brother comes out of seclusion, I’ll let you leave.”

Xie Xiangyao didn’t know what to say.

Some time later.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan temporarily bid farewell to Qin Shenwu and Xie Xiangyao, returning to Cloud Mist Peak.

This time, Jiang Chengxuan was determined not to leave seclusion until he had broken through to the Seethrough stage.

He had made this decision back on Shenwu Peak.

After his breakthrough, he vowed to seek justice for his senior brother Zhao. Since his Shifu couldn’t get an explanation from Qiankun Hall this time, he planned to teach Tai Cangzi a lesson in the future, ensuring that Qiankun Hall couldn’t demand an explanation from the Haoran Sect either.
