I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 206 - 202: Shameless Taihe, Renowned Yu Fei

Du Youqian’s qi, blood, and Magical Power all surged to their absolute peak. He held a Defensive Spiritual Artifact, ready to activate it at a moment’s notice. He was even prepared to initiate the Second Transition of the Red Blood Seven Transitions Technique to deal with the crazed Master Taihe.

Activating the Second Transition of the Red Blood Seven Transitions Technique would only cost him a few years of his life.

But if Master Taihe went berserk and he didn’t survive, he would lose his life entirely.

Just then, though Feng Xiaoyi had yet to arrive, her voice rang out, "Taihe, who do you want dead?"

Feng Xiaoyi’s usual voice was like a cat’s.

Even when she spoke seriously, it was filled with an alluring charm.

It was like a young widow, bound by propriety, who upon seeing a handsome young man, would secretly cast flirtatious glances from her lonely eyes, her voice always betraying a hint of strange emotion.

But her sharp cry at this moment was filled with authority, like an empress dowager ruling from behind the curtain, dignified, solemn, a maternal figure to the world.

Not only had Feng Xiaoyi rushed over, but seven or eight streams of Divine Sense belonging to Core Formation Masters also swept across the area.

They were all familiar fluctuations, including those of Master Shi Quan, Chen Master, and Supreme Elder Shi Master.

Master Taihe felt as if a basin of cold water had been dumped over his head.

He looked at the rapidly approaching Chun Xiao Master and gave a bitter smile. "Fine, just fine. You, master and disciple, plan to gang up on me, is that it?"

Before Feng Xiaoyi could speak, Du Youqian cut in, "Old scoundrel, cut the crap and hand him over! What were your intentions in abducting my subordinate? Today you abduct the subordinate of a True Inheritor, so tomorrow you’ll abduct the Sect Leader’s confidant? And the day after, will you dare to mess with a Supreme Elder?"

"Oh?" Feng Xiaoyi drew out her words. "You even snatched away my disciple’s confidant? Taihe, oh, Taihe... for a dignified Core Formation Master like you to do something so shameless, I’m truly ashamed to be associated with you."

"I... I did not snatch his man!" Seeing the situation turning against him, Master Taihe quickly changed his tune.

’From this, it was clear he was truly shameless—a Core Formation Master who could go back on his word at any moment, denying whatever he’d said.’

’Someone so shameless would be a formidable enemy if left unchecked.’

However, Du Youqian pondered for a moment before simply dismissing the thought with a smile.

’Once I reach Core Formation... this Master Taihe will be nothing more than a contemptible clown.’

’He isn’t worthy of being treated like a serious threat.’

’The one I really need to treat as a great enemy... is that quiet, low-key Wandering Dragon.’

Du Youqian remained silent, but Gu Xiaofang had already run over and activated a Memory Stone.

"...Rest assured, I will return his head and his four limbs to you separately! Junior, you’ve probably had it too easy these past few years and have forgotten the humility and respect you should show before a Core Formation Master..."

Seeing his own image and hearing his own voice, Master Taihe showed no shame or anger at being exposed. Instead, he continued to make excuses. "Was that what I said? I was just speaking in anger at the time. It doesn’t count. Alright, alright, I’ll have my people search for him properly. If we do find that subordinate of Yu Fei’s, I’ll be sure to return him safely. That should be enough, right? For now, let’s discuss another matter. Yu Fei caused my cave-abode to collapse. How should we settle that score?"

With the Divine Sense of so many Core Formation Masters watching, Master Taihe still maintained such a shameless demeanor. Du Youqian was at a loss for words.

Feng Xiaoyi, however, had long been aware of Master Taihe’s character. She gave a dry laugh. "Taihe, are you trying to say that after over a hundred rounds of Magical Combat with my disciple, not only did you fail to kill this Foundation Establishment Realm disciple of mine, but he also found the time to destroy your cave-abode? That’s a bit ridiculous, don’t you think? Go on, tell the world. Who would believe that? It’s obvious your cave-abode was built with shoddy work and materials, so it couldn’t withstand the shockwaves of the battle and collapsed."

If Master Taihe hadn’t already reached Core Formation and gained extremely precise control over his body’s qi and blood, his old face might have flushed red with shame.

Because... this was truly humiliating.

’A dignified Core Formation Master fighting a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in an intense battle, not only failing to defeat him but also having his own cave-abode destroyed by him... If I heard a joke like that, I would mercilessly mock that idiot Master.’

’Ah, but that idiot Master is me?’

’Never mind then.’

The problem now was that if he denied that Du Youqian had destroyed the cave-abode, he could save a little face, but he would lose a lot of Spiritual Jade.

’Doesn’t rebuilding the cave-abode and repairing the Grand Array cost Spiritual Jade?’

’Doesn’t gathering new beautiful concubines with Spirit Roots cost Spiritual Jade?’

If he insisted that Du Youqian had destroyed his cave-abode, he would surely lose even more face, but at least he would have a source for the Spiritual Jade needed to cover his losses.

Master Taihe gritted his teeth. Since he had already been humiliated, he wasn’t afraid of further embarrassment.

With a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, he said, "As a True Inheritor of the Sect, Junior Yu has surpassed his peers. His strength is already approaching the Core Formation Realm. I was careless for a moment and indeed suffered a loss at his hands. There’s nothing to deny. Junior Yu, I can return your man to you, but you must give me the Spiritual Jade to rebuild my cave-abode and repair the Grand Array. Chun Xiao, if your disciple welches on this debt, I’ll be coming to you to collect."

Du Youqian was stunned.

He never imagined this old codger could be so shameless.

Even Feng Xiaoyi, standing to the side, had the urge to facepalm.

’To be a fellow Core Formation Master... what a fucking disgrace.’

’Even she, a woman, was ashamed to be associated with this man!’

"In any case," Du Youqian said, snapping back to his senses. Since so many Core Formation Masters had extended their Divine Sense to observe the situation, he had to settle the matter of Wu Siyuan first. "Master Taihe, you abducted him first. Even if I was at fault, you were the one who was in the wrong first. Hand Wu Siyuan back to me, and as for the other matters, the Sect will naturally handle them. Surely you don’t distrust the Sect Leader? And even if you distrust the Sect Leader, you wouldn’t distrust the Sect’s Elder Council, would you?"

Du Youqian was referring to the Holy Blood Sect’s highest governing body, which was composed of the Core Formation Masters.

Core Formation Masters who had been True Inheritors in the Holy Blood Sect became Supreme Elders, while the other Core Formation Masters were regular Elders.

When the Sect Leader found a matter difficult to decide, or when an involved party refused to accept the Sect Leader’s decision, the matter would be discussed by the Elder Council to find a solution.

Master Taihe himself was a member of the Elder Council, so of course he couldn’t say, "I just don’t trust it." He could only hem and haw.

Just then, Supreme Elder Shi Shentong’s Divine Sense conveyed a message: "I am now aware of the situation. Taihe, give Yu Zhenchuan the person he is asking for. Yu Zhenchuan, you have ten years to give Master Taihe 500 Spiritual Jade to compensate for his losses."

How could Master Taihe be happy with that?

’Was his cave-abode only worth 500 Spiritual Jade?’

’Alright, it probably was only worth that much, but he had already thrown his pride away. Wasn’t his pride worth anything?’

However, Shi Shentong’s prestige had grown immensely over the past two hundred years. Master Taihe didn’t dare to contradict him to his face and could only say resentfully, "The kid got off easy."

Elder Shi paid him no further mind, his Divine Sense continuing, "Yu Fei, although you exchanged over a hundred blows with Master Taihe today, you must know that he bore you no killing intent and was merely sparring with you with the mindset of instructing a junior. Moreover, among our Sect’s past True Inheritors, there have been true prodigies who could slay a Core Formation Master while still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Compared to them, you still have a long way to go. You must not become arrogant or complacent. Guard against pride and impatience, and reach Core Formation as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Du Youqian replied.

’That missing Bai Shaofeng must have had the power to slay a Core Formation Master.’

’If I accumulate for another one or two hundred years in this life, by the time I reach Foundation Establishment in my next life, I estimate I’ll also be able to slay a Core Formation Master while still at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.’

’When that time comes, if that old scoundrel Taihe is still alive, I’ll definitely let him have a taste of what it’s like to be slain by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.’

And so, with the intervention of Supreme Elder Shi Shentong, the incident came to an anticlimactic end.

But the repercussions of the event were far from over.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator had lasted over a hundred moves against a Core Formation Master without being defeated?

Something like this hadn’t happened in many years!

Of course, in the eyes of the Core Formation Masters, such a thing wasn’t particularly rare.

A peerless prodigy like that tended to appear once every one or two hundred years.

But for ordinary Cultivators—whose lifespans were just over a hundred years for a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, one hundred and fifty for a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, and two hundred and twenty for a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator—they might go their entire lives without ever encountering such a stunning individual.

Although Bai Shaofeng had been powerful, and in the eyes of discerning observers, he was definitely someone who could have slain a Core Formation Master, he had never fought a Core Formation Master before. And since he "died from cultivation deviation" before he could fully mature, he hadn’t left too deep an impression on people’s minds.

Du Youqian was different.

His battle with Master Taihe had been witnessed by hundreds of people.

So many stunned witnesses spread the news, one telling ten and ten telling a hundred, until his fame was spread far and wide.

For a time, Du Youqian’s fame was unmatched. He garnered even more attention than when he had won the grand competition.

His reputation didn’t just explode within the Holy Blood Sect; Cultivators from other Sects all heard of it as well.

Almost the entire Momenan Cultivation Realm now knew that the Holy Blood Sect had produced a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who could contend with a Core Formation Master.

If he could already exchange a hundred blows with a Core Formation Master without being defeated... what would happen once he reached Core Formation?

Wouldn’t he be invincible among his peers?

Du Youqian, now at the center of this storm of attention, seized the opportunity to have Gu Xiaofang and others recruit subordinates from various Sects.

Although the subordinates recruited in this way would be a mixed bag, with loyalty being even harder to guarantee...

...he was bound to reach Core Formation in the future. He would have hundreds of years to weed out the bad and keep the good. For now, all that mattered was rapid expansion.
