Reborn right after ascending to immortality?

Chapter 17 The sect is in trouble, please ask the patriarch to come out of seclusion!

You have an innate sword physique, but you suffer from severe hemophobia, right?

An Sheng's face was covered in black lines. No wonder you wanted to buy an unsharpened sword, no wonder the other party wanted to break off the engagement with you!
"So after you fell off the cliff, did you encounter any extraordinary people or miraculous events at the bottom?" An Sheng asked. "Didn't you have any secret manuals or anything like that?"

"Of course not. As I said, the bottom of the cliff is dark and sunless, without even a ray of light."

Mei Yun answered matter-of-factly.
"What kind of master would put a secret manual at the bottom of a cliff? Is he crazy? There's no light at the bottom of the cliff, and you can't even see the words."

reasonable.

An Sheng nodded.

“Alright, there is indeed a secret manual,” Mei Yun said, “but that manual says it requires a blood oath to bind it to its master.”

That makes more sense.

An Sheng nodded.

He asked one last question, "So, you have a severe case of hemophobia, how did you manage to kill that ancient ancestor?"

This is what An Sheng is most curious about.

【The Demon Sword Immortal, Mei Yun】

[The Cause of Sin: A Thousand Years]

[Slaying a thousand-year-old ancestor is a heinous crime of treason]

The impermanence law is clearly written on it; it cannot be faked.

Mei Yun's innate sword physique is indeed formidable, capable of killing across borders, but she is still quite young, only one year older than An Sheng, and her cultivation level is merely Foundation Establishment. The ancestor of that family could live for over a thousand years; he must at least be a Nascent Soul stage monster.

The fact that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could kill a Nascent Soul cultivator caused a sensation throughout half of Kunlun; the leap in cultivation level was simply too great.

Even a wish-fulfillment novel wouldn't dare write it like this.

Unexpectedly, the moment An Sheng asked the question, the usually forthcoming Young Master Mei fell completely silent. He swallowed hard, sighed deeply, shifted his gaze from An Sheng to the window, and sighed again.

"I don't want to bring up this past event again."

It seems that the battle that killed the gods left Mei Yun with a serious psychological trauma.

Just how tragic must it have been?
The more Mei Yun didn't want to mention it, the more curious An Sheng became. He wanted to try out the function of the Impermanent Law Contract to check crimes.

With this thought in mind, the Impermanence Law was opened from the altar. Under the reflection of the immortal's blood, the crimson, blood-like lines of sin appeared above Mei Yun's head. The lines of sin are also divided into levels. For example, those of Ox-Head and Horse-Face are black lines, while those over a thousand years old are red lines.

[A decade-long quest for justice]

Ten years of sins are not expensive for An Sheng; he can earn it back by performing one more set of the Impermanence Mountain Moving Technique.

An Sheng tried to touch the red line with his divine sense. As soon as he touched it, a chaotic scene overwhelmed him.

He saw scene after scene:

Three years later, having mastered the Blindfolded Divine Skill, Young Master Mei finally managed to make a distress call from the bottom of the cliff and was rescued by government soldiers. After a short rest, he went to the local market auction and used the secret manual he obtained from the bottom of the cliff to buy a demonic sword that no one else wanted.

Mei Yun took the unsharpened demonic sword and went to the Su family to demand the return of the betrothal gifts.

The innate sword physique, perfected through blindfolded mastery, was indeed terrifying. Blindfolded, Mei Yun slashed his way from the main hall to the ancestral temple, his blade flashing as if cutting vegetables, causing zero casualties, without even blinking. From ordinary disciples to family stewards, no one in the entire Su family was a match for Young Master Mei.

With the bride price on the verge of being lost, in this critical moment, the Su family patriarch led a group of elders into the forbidden area behind the family mountain. Dark clouds pressed down in the forbidden area, and a fierce wind howled. The elders knelt down and bowed, pleading, "The family is in trouble. We respectfully request that our ancestor emerge from seclusion!"

An Sheng's eyes lit up; after hitting the small one, the big one was coming, and the climax was just around the corner.

"The family is in peril! Please, Ancestor, come out of seclusion!"

"The family is in peril! Please, Ancestor, come out of seclusion!"

Amidst howling winds and shifting heaven and earth, and flashes of lightning, an ancient and weathered black hand emerged from the earth—the Su family's thousand-year-old ancestor had broken free from seclusion.

This ancestor, named Su Daxian, was a powerful immortal from the Middle Ages, highly respected for his virtue, seniority, and outstanding achievements. Even the Myriad Laws Sect treated him with great deference. Now, he charged towards the junior Mei Yun with overwhelming momentum.

"Senior Su, if you wish to fight, then let us fight!" Young Master Mei, in the prime of his youth, felt a surge of passion and clarity of mind. He was not afraid of even this ancient ancestor, and despite knowing he was no match, he still thrust his sword forward with unwavering determination.

Even if I die, I want to die a quick and painless death.

When he saw what was about to happen, even the well-informed An Sheng couldn't help but show fear, and his pupils dilated.

[But before Young Master Mei's sword even got close, before the wind from the sword even touched him, the thousand-year-old ancestor collapsed on the spot!]

[With lightning speed and practiced ease, he fell directly to the ground.] [“Come and see! The lawless immortal realm is rife with injustice! Murder!” the thousand-year-old ancestor shouted from the ground, “He beat an old man! I won’t get up until I get 100,000 spirit stones!”]

damn.

An Sheng gasped in shock; it was a staged accident!
The sect is in trouble, please ask the patriarch to come out of seclusion and cause trouble!

An 80-year-old man faking an accident can bankrupt someone; what would happen if a thousand-year-old ancestor did that?
This is no longer the era of gangsters cultivating immortality; it's a society governed by the rule of law.

This patriarch of the Su family truly lives up to his reputation as a powerful immortal. He mastered this legendary forbidden technique with ease. Faced with this Chinese-style Iaijutsu, Mei Yun should immediately collapse to the ground.

His biggest mistake was making the next move—

"That's impossible! I haven't even sharpened this sword yet. Senior, are you alright?"

Mei Yun rushed over to check on the Su family patriarch, but as soon as she touched his nose, the patriarch's head lolled back, he stopped breathing, his body temperature was as cold as ice, and his skin was as stiff as stone; he appeared to have been dead for a long time.

[It turns out that the patriarch of the Su family had already passed away five hundred years ago due to the exhaustion of his lifespan.]

The reason it still exists in the Kunlun Archives is because the descendants of the Su family couldn't bear to part with their ancestor's generous monthly 'Kunlun pension,' so they refined it into an immortal corpse.

After some maneuvering, he was kept on the list, thus receiving an additional five hundred years of pension.

In the Kunlun Archives, Ancestor Su became known as the so-called Millennium Ancestor, representing the Su family's last remaining strength and trump card.

[If the sect is ever in trouble, just shout, "Please, Ancestor, come out of your coffin!" and the ancestor, who has been in seclusion for many years, will emerge from his coffin and suppress all invading enemies!]

However, this time when they encountered Mei Yun, the Su family's trump card failed—not because of the Su family, but because of Mei Yun.

Mei Yun was penniless; she had given all her savings to the bride price, so naturally she couldn't afford the high compensation.

If there's no way to settle it privately, then he'll have to go to jail.

Because Ancestor Su is a thousand-year-old ancestor, highly respected and virtuous, many righteous elders are his acquaintances.

In addition, the Su family used their connections to expel Mei Yun from the Mei family, leaving her with neither connections nor background.

Therefore, the sentence was immediately extended to the maximum level, with the maximum penalty for treason.

The estimated minimum sentence is one thousand years.

After this battle, Mei Yun's fame soared.

Young Master Mei's infamy spread widely in Kunlun, making him a notorious rising star and villain.

After reading Mei Yun's story of sin, even An Sheng fell silent.

The world calls Wuchang Mozi the most infamous demon of our time, and the hope for the revival of the demonic sect. But An Sheng is far from being a true demon—because a true demon would not be called a demon.

There is no need for the Demonic Sect to revive, because in a sense, the Demonic Sect has never declined.

"No wonder your name is Mei Yun," An Sheng commented. "You really are unlucky."

This is so unlucky.

"So you pawned your prized sword, begging me to take the blame for you," An Sheng said. "You just want to return to Kunlun and seek revenge on those people?"

"I simply wish to return to Kunlun to seek justice."

Mei Yun turned to look at An Sheng, paused for a moment, then removed the black cloth covering his face, revealing his gray-white eyes. "I did not kill anyone. I only wish to seek justice, that's all."

“Boring.” An Sheng sneered. “You can’t get justice up there, because in their eyes you’re already one of them, an idiot.”

"Those who drink Meng Po's water will be forever condemned to the underworld."

“Over the years, I’ve only come to understand one thing,” he said. “Justice cannot be begged for.”

“If people accuse you of being a thief, then steal; if people accuse you of being a sinner, then do evil.”

An Sheng stared into Mei Yun's gray-white eyes and said to her, "If they accuse you of being a demon, then do as they wish and become a truly heinous and unforgivable demon."

"Don't go to Kunlun."

An Sheng said, "Go to hell."

"Go down one more level, then another, and another until the bottom of the Nine Nether Valley, where all things return to nothingness—only then will there be any justice."
