I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

"How is Xiaofang doing?" Luo Jinyu asked impatiently.

Du Youqian’s constantly tense expression gave him an ominous premonition.

After glancing at him, Du Youqian looked away, sighed softly, and shook his head without a word.

Luo Jinyu’s heart sank.

As fellow subordinates of Du Youqian, he and Gu Xiaofang had the closest bond.

With a grim face, Du Youqian turned and left the room. Fang Hua followed closely behind.

Meng Xiao was already waiting outside. After a slight bow, he reported in a low voice, "My Lord, I have thoroughly questioned the men assigned to protect Gu Xiaofang. Their stories are consistent. They all say that the Flying Boat had landed at Anle Market to make some purchases when it was suddenly ambushed by hundreds of Demons. There was even a Core Formation Demon King among them. Gu Xiaofang was injured by that Demon King’s Innate Divine Abilities, which damaged his Divine Soul. That is why he is unconscious."

Du Youqian said expressionlessly, "Where did the Demons come from? Hundreds of them can’t just suddenly appear in the Marketplace, can they? And they can’t have just vanished after the ambush! Investigate their movements!"

"Yes, sir." Meng Xiao could only comply.

Du Youqian asked again, "Why were they making purchases at Anle Market?"

Meng Xiao replied, "I looked into that as well. Our informant in Anle Market discovered someone selling a material you needed, My Lord. However, the seller’s price was too high, and they couldn’t reach an agreement, so it was reported up the chain. While in the Desolate Abyss, Gu Xiaofang received the report via the Communication Array. He arranged to stop by Anle Market on the way back to the Sect to check it out, negotiate with the seller, and purchase the material. The Demon attack happened right after the transaction was completed. I also had someone run a background check on the seller. He was clean, and he also died in the Demon Race attack. It seems everything was just a coincidence."

"A coincidence?" Du Youqian thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don’t believe in this many coincidences."

Taking the hint, Meng Xiao said, "Then I will continue to investigate more deeply."

After a while, Luo Jinyu came out of the room. He exchanged a glance with Meng Xiao before asking, "Will Xiaofang... ever wake up?"

Du Youqian’s expression was grave as he slowly shook his head.

Gu Xiaofang’s Divine Soul was severely damaged. To be blunt, he’s in a vegetative state. He won’t die easily, but wake up?

It would be harder than ascending to the heavens.

If he had some Miracle Elixirs of Tier Four or higher, there might be a chance for him to recover.

But a Tier Four Alchemist?

It was questionable whether one could even be found in all of Momenan.

Besides, with his Divine Soul so heavily wounded, he couldn’t even be converted into a Ghost Cultivator.

Luo Jinyu didn’t fly into a rage. His eyes merely drooped at the corners and his lips tightened, burying his sorrow deep in his heart.

For a time, the atmosphere was so heavy that no one had the desire to speak.

After a long while, Fang Hua finally spoke. "Living Demons haven’t appeared in Momenan for several thousand years. For them to suddenly appear now is deeply unsettling. Perhaps we are about to face a great change, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in millennia."

Luo Jinyu’s voice was relatively calm, but it was tinged with hatred. "No Demons have appeared for thousands of years, yet they just happen to show up when Xiaofang goes to investigate Yin Ruozhen. If she’s not involved, I’ll cut off my own head and give it to her!"

Du Youqian frowned. Meng Xiao, standing nearby, said, "Nephew Luo, watch your words. Yin Ruozhen is a True Inheritor of the Taihe Sect and is said to be on the verge of Core Formation. Although we have Junior Yu and don’t need to fear her, we can’t completely disregard the Taihe Sect’s reputation."

The way they addressed each other was quite interesting. Meng Xiao called Du Youqian "My Lord," but in front of outsiders, he would call him "Junior Yu."

Luo Jinyu, Gu Xiaofang, and Fang Hua were Cultivators of the same generation as Du Youqian. They used to call him "Brother Yu," but now that Du Youqian had achieved Core Formation, they were supposed to address him as "Martial Uncle Yu."

However, Du Youqian gave them special permission to continue calling him Brother Yu as a sign of closeness.

As for his other subordinates, they were all required to address him as "Martial Uncle Yu."

Otherwise, without rules, there would be no order.

Meanwhile, Meng Xiao would address Luo Jinyu and Gu Xiaofang as "Nephew."

Gu Xiaofang and Luo Jinyu, however, weren’t fond of Meng Xiao and always called him by his full name.

Fang Hua asked again, "Brother Yu, have you performed a Divination?"

Du Youqian nodded slowly. "Of course."

"And the result?" Although Fang Hua asked, she knew there likely wasn’t one.

Du Youqian remained silent.

With his current Divination Art, enhanced by his own "Knowing the Celestial Mandate" Great Divine Abilities, he should have been able to divine matters related to people and events up to Tier Three Peak, and even Tier Four Early Stage.

But when he performed a Divination on Gu Xiaofang’s injury, the result was complete chaos.

’Perhaps the culprit’s level is too high... or perhaps the person behind the scenes has made arrangements to obscure the heavenly secrets.’

After a moment’s hesitation, he said, "Junior Luo, Fang Hua. This incident has left me feeling deeply uneasy. Perhaps, just as Fang Hua said, we are about to face a great change, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in a thousand years."

"In the face of this great change, Momenan may fall into a period of chaos. Although I believe that with the suppression of Senior Blood Slaughter Sword and Senior Rivers and Mountains Map, this chaos won’t last too long. It might end in a few decades, or a century. Compared to Momenan’s eight-thousand-year history, that is but the blink of an eye."

"However, for those of us caught in the turmoil, we might not be able to endure it. You two must seize the opportunity to reach Core Formation as soon as possible. Only then will you have the power to protect yourselves."

Du Youqian rarely spoke at such length. So, when he finished speaking with such gravity, both Fang Hua and Luo Jinyu nodded with solemn expressions.

At that moment, a disciple on Miscellaneous Tasks arrived with a Jade Slip.

After reading it, Du Youqian said to Meng Xiao, "The investigative team sent out by the Sect has given their preliminary report. Elder Shi wants to convene an extra Elder Council meeting to discuss the reappearance of the Demon Race. Let’s go."

A hint of joy finally appeared on Luo Jinyu’s face. "With the Sect taking action, they’ll surely uncover the truth and get justice for Xiaofang!"

Du Youqian and Meng Xiao, however, looked at each other and shook their heads, neither of them optimistic.

The entire affair was strange. Although the Sect was powerful, it was unlikely they could figure anything out anytime soon.

As expected.

A short while later at the Holy Blood Sect’s Elder Council meeting, the various Core Formation Masters were either furious or terrified. Faced with the first appearance of living Demons in several thousand years, everyone was in complete agreement: they had to investigate this to the very end.

But when it came to how to investigate or what clues they had, everyone fell silent.

Even Du Youqian’s suggestion—to investigate the route the hundreds of Demons took to enter the Marketplace and the route they used to retreat—led to a dead end.

The Demons seemed to have materialized out of thin air in a bustling section of the Marketplace, launched a sudden, indiscriminate attack on everyone, and then vanished just as mysteriously.

"The Demon-Hiding Vase."

Just as everyone was at a loss, Elder Shi finally spoke.

With his dark, rough skin, he looked like an old farmer who had toiled in the fields for years.

All eyes focused on him.

Elder Shi said unhurriedly, "It is said... that the Demon Race possesses a type of spatial Treasure called a Demon-Hiding Vase. It can temporarily seal a large number of Demons inside and conceal their auras."

"On battlefields in the outside world, the Demon-Hiding Vase is used frequently. The Demons often bribe human traitors or cultivate human pets, having them carry the Demon-Hiding Vase into the Grand Arrays of Human Race Cultivators. They then suddenly release the Demons to paralyze our Array Cores, causing immense damage to the Human Race."

"So, in this case, is it possible that the hundreds of Demons were hidden in a Demon-Hiding Vase and brought into the Marketplace?"

The moment Elder Shi finished speaking, the seated Elders began to communicate rapidly. Although no one made a sound, the tendrils of their Divine Senses filled every corner of the room.

In the end, everyone agreed with Elder Shi’s assessment. The Demon-Hiding Vase was indeed the most likely answer.

"In that case, let the investigation begin. Start with the materials needed to refine a Demon-Hiding Vase and follow the vine to find the person pulling the strings. An incident like this means the Taihe Sect will certainly investigate as well, but they’ll have their own leads. We don’t need to pay them too much mind. Is there any other business?" Elder Shi looked around, preparing to conclude the meeting.

Du Youqian, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up slowly, "Elder Shi, I have an idea."

"Oh? Master You De, please speak."

"Those hundreds of Demons didn’t appear any sooner or any later, but at the exact moment my subordinate, Gu Xiaofang, was returning to the Sect from the Desolate Abyss. Don’t you think there’s something suspicious about that?"

Upon hearing this, the Elders immediately began communicating with their Divine Senses. Some agreed it was suspicious, while others thought it was just a coincidence.

Everyone was perfectly clear who Du Youqian’s words were aimed at—after all, it was only after Du Youqian defeated Wandering Dragon in three moves that the Sect ordered Gu Xiaofang’s recall. It was hard not to speculate about the connection.

Elder Shi, however, did not take a stance easily. He simply made a soft "hmm" sound, gesturing for Du Youqian to continue.

Du Youqian glanced at the impassive Wandering Dragon and decided to spell it out. "Whoever meticulously plotted to send Gu Xiaofang to the Desolate Abyss, I believe that person is the most suspect in this matter."

This was tantamount to pointing at Wandering Dragon’s nose and cursing him.

Wandering Dragon’s neck didn’t move, but his head turned. His eyes, so indifferent they were devoid of any emotion, fixed on Du Youqian. "Master You De seems to be insinuating something. If you have something to say, speak plainly."

Du Youqian said, "I believe that Immortal Carefree and Yin Ruozhen of the Taihe Sect are both suspected of colluding with the Demon Race. I ask Elder Shi to investigate this thoroughly."

His words were like a giant boulder dropped into a calm pond, causing a massive uproar.

The Core Formation Masters all began to speak at once, the majority urging Du Youqian to calm down and not casually accuse a fellow Sect member.

A few, including Master Taihe, started cursing Du Youqian out, accusing him of trying to divide the Sect.

A small minority, such as Meng Xiao and the two Masters on good terms with Du Youqian, Feng Xiaoyi and Xi Zhiheng, expressed their support for investigating Wandering Dragon.

Shi Shentong did not speak.

Only when everyone was arguing chaotically and on the verge of coming to blows did he shake his head and say in a quiet voice, "Master You De, if you wish to accuse a fellow Core Formation Master of the Sect, you must have iron-clad proof, not mere speculation."

Du Youqian sneered, "I am but one man with limited power. Where am I to find such proof? Naturally, I can only offer my humble opinion. If you want evidence, then please ask Senior Rivers and Mountains Map or Senior Blood Slaughter Sword to take action. They will surely be able to find some clues."

Shi Shentong immediately refused. "Such a trivial matter does not yet require troubling those two Seniors."

Du Youqian retorted, "A trivial matter? Living Demons have appeared in Momenan for the first time in several thousand years. Elder Shi, I respect you, but you consider this a trivial matter?"

Shi Shentong said indifferently, "For those two Seniors, unless a vast demon tide appears that could overturn all of Momenan, or an Unparalleled Great Demon of Tier Five or higher emerges, it is not a major event."
