Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 798 Escape Route (Part Two)

"Qin Jiuming, aren't you usually good at divination? How come you didn't foresee such a terrible disaster last night?"

Li Huade, his face full of worry, stopped in front of Qin Jiuming, the head of the Ziwei Academy.

"Fate is unpredictable, destiny has its consequences, heaven, earth, humanity, ghosts, and gods stand in a tripod of five... However, the human heart is unfathomable, and destiny is hard to determine. Divination is not omnipotent. Divination alone cannot predict this far." Qin Jiuming replied calmly with an indifferent expression.

"Moreover, this matter is obvious at a glance, no divination is needed. The head of the Xuanji Academy was too eager for quick success, vainly hoping to sever the cause and effect in one fell swoop, and made rapid progress. It is only natural that he suffered this backlash." His tone was flat and unwavering, setting the tone.

"So you mean Yan Xuanji brought this upon herself? She deserved to die, it was her fate to suffer this calamity, she brought it upon herself, she was destined to perish last night, so... we don't need to interfere?"

Li Huade frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

Even though Yan Xuanji was usually a bit stubborn and not well-liked, they were still colleagues who had worked together for more than ten years.

The person is dead. Instead of offering some comforting words, you say some harsh and unpleasant things.

Even though he was usually lazy and easygoing, he was starting to get angry.

“Since you have misunderstood me, I have nothing more to say,” Qin Jiuming said calmly. “Cause and effect are unpredictable; every cause has an effect. A good cause may not necessarily lead to a good result, and a bad result may not necessarily be a bad cause. What I mean… do you understand, Chief?”

As he spoke, his golden eyes flickered slowly, as if a celestial star chart was being deduced and transformed within them.

"If you don't understand, Your Excellency, you can come to my Ziwei Courtyard when you have time, and I will explain it to you." After saying this, Qin Jiuming slowly closed his eyes, ignored Li Huade in front of him, and stood up.

Only by truly seeing the future can one access the deepest secrets of the world.

Only then did I realize the great care and painstaking efforts of the patriarchs.

Those actions that seem meaningless, a waste of money, or even self-destructive...

Martial arts schools, bloodlines, firearms...

Openness, integration, continuity...

Various thoughts and ideas surged and rolled in his mind, like countless rapidly growing seeds sprouting and absorbing his blood, devouring his flesh and blood, breaking through his brain, wanting to grow branches and show themselves to the world.

But Qin Jiuming knew that it wasn't the right time yet.

He clenched his teeth, enduring the pain, and forcefully suppressed the overwhelming urge to share that welled up inside him. He walked slowly and deliberately past Li Huade, heading straight for the exit of the main hall.

“Nine Lives…” Headmaster Xuan Yue immediately stood up, her pretty face filled with deep sorrow, and stepped forward to help her up.

A celestial fire meteor descends upon the world...

After that night, she noticed that her senior brother was different.

Although her daily behavior and tone of voice remain as gentle as ever.

But the coldness deep within her could not be hidden from her.

After witnessing the prophecy of the demonic calamity and paying the price of losing his eyesight to see the future, Qin Jiuming changed completely. He became somewhat indifferent and calm, as if he had seen through everything in the world, without joy or sorrow.

"Qin Jiuming, you...?!" Li Huade's anger was immediately apparent on his face, clearly indicating that he was furious.

Regardless, he was Qin Jiuming's elder and direct superior. Even if there were some issues with their views and statements.

But Qin Jiuming's insolent and child-lecturing tone, with so many people watching and no respect for him at all, was truly infuriating.

I'm annoyed as much as I am.

If Yang Huade were to directly step forward to stop him, teach him a lesson, or do something, he really wouldn't dare.

He was originally a lazy person who didn't want to cause trouble.

This Qin Jiuming…

Because of his act of risking his life to warn of the impending demonic calamity, sacrificing his lifespan to glimpse the future and attempt to find a solution for the Yuanmiao Sect…

They didn't even mention qualifications or potential.

This level of loyalty has already earned Qin Jiuming the favor of many elders from the three upper peaks. Some prominent figures from the main lineage have even hinted that they intend to take him under their wing and cultivate him as a key disciple.

Yang Huade is someone you can't afford to offend.

Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as Qin Jiuming and Wei Xuanyue walked out of the main hall one after the other, his eyes filled with anger.

After the two of them left, the already empty hall became even more deserted.

At this point, three academy leaders remained:

The abbots of Qinghe Academy are Cao Xuanzhen, Longhu Academy is Liu Xuanwei, and Renwei Academy is Yang Xuanming.

"Tell me your thoughts on this matter...," Yang Huade said, his expression growing increasingly agitated as he glared at the three men.

"..."

Cao Xuanzhen, Liu Xuanwei, and Yang Xuanming looked at each other, only able to offer wry smiles, unable to say anything.

No one expected this. He was once a lowly outer disciple, the kind who failed the test and was kicked off the mountain.

Just last night, he single-handedly killed Yan Xuanji and two others.

Yan Xuanji has a somewhat wicked personality, but his strength is not lacking.

Among these academy leaders, they might not be the strongest, but they are certainly in the upper-middle tier.

As the vice dean of the Sword and Talisman Academy, Qing Ya Zi's strength is probably just average.

But there is also Liu Miaoxuan.

These three, together, wanted to destroy the so-called major sects at the foot of the mountain.

It's all very easy.

An emergency meeting was convened, and the news spread.

Everyone thought it was a joke and nobody took it seriously.

Even Liu Xuanwei, the head of the Dragon Tiger Academy who had always been at odds with Yan Xuanji and had many conflicts with him, almost thought he had misheard and couldn't believe it.

After confirming that the information was true, everyone was stunned, plopped down in their chairs, and remained silent for a long time.

My mind went blank; I couldn't understand it at all.

No matter how gifted Han Yi is in martial arts.

Even if the bloodline is strong.

Even the head of a sect.

In the end, he was just a man from the mountains who never took things seriously.

A sect leader of the Myriad Beasts Sect whom I've never even heard of...

How exactly did they manage to pull off this incredible comeback...?

The chief asked the three of them for their opinions...

It's good enough that they didn't ask me any questions back.

Say.

What opinions could those three possibly have?

This Han Yi…

It was Yan Xuanji who acted on her own initiative, creating this karma and attracting this trouble.

What does it have to do with them?

Yan Xuanji and the other two were no match for Han Yi, let alone them.

Interfering rashly in the karma of others is a grave taboo, as it can easily lead to death. One may easily lose their life.

Decades of arduous cultivation, reduced to ashes in a single day.

Especially when you don't know the other party's background and their strength far exceeds your own.

Silence is the best response.
