Chapter 196: Next Up, You’re in Trouble
“Ye Xuan?”
“Who is Ye Xuan?”
“The calamity that ends the world?!”
At this moment, countless cultivators are looking up at the sky, pondering the words spoken by Qin Zhenren, who claims to be from the future.
Clearly, the person named Ye Xuan is key to the phenomenon appearing in the sky. The next moment, several powerful auras arrive above Taihua Sect.
Taihua Sect, being a blessed land of heaven, a place abundant in spiritual energy, is typically out of reach for ordinary immortals. However, those who have arrived above Taihua Sect now are no ordinary individuals.
These are some of the foremost powers in the cultivation world today. As enemies approach, the grand array of Taihua Sect activated automatically.
Yet, among the crowd, Qin Zhenren stepped forward, waved a spell, and suddenly, the grand array of Taihua ceased to hinder any immortal but her.
The next moment, the immortals transformed into beams of light, heading towards where Ye Xuan is located at Qingxue Peak.
Currently, Qingxue is out searching for the Divine Emperor Swordmaster and can’t return in time. Moreover, most of Taihua Sect’s immortals are out due to the search for the Swordmaster.
Only Sect Master Qin Zhenren is left to hold the fort. Although unsure of what’s happening, Qin Zhenren naturally won’t let these people from the future act recklessly.
She immediately rushed to Qingxue Peak.
At this moment, on Qingxue Peak, Ye Xuan has already begun to confront these people from the future.
“Ye Xuan, your conspiracy has been exposed–!!!”
“Come with us.”
“Hope you act honorably, resistance will only make things ugly for everyone.”
Many immortals appeared before Ye Xuan and several of them look at Ye Xuan with a mocking expression.
Hu Lan, Hu Qianzao, Yu Ling’er, along with the newly arrived Qin Zhenren and several Taihua elders, also appeared before Ye Xuan.
Daoqin Zhenren looked at her future self and said: “This is Taihua Sect; my fellow Daoists, have you considered the consequences before acting?”
Seeing her past self blocking their path, the future Qin Zhenren smiled and said, “My past self, are you doubting our identities?”
“……”
Qin Zhenren slightly narrowed her eyes. Honestly, she couldn’t really tell the true identity of the person before her.
Although they look exactly the same, if they are not the same person, it could be an impersonation. She can confirm she is Qin Zhenren but cannot be sure that the person before her is definitely her from the future.
Since she can’t be sure, she naturally can’t allow the other party to just take people from Taihua Sect. Not just Ye Xuan, but even an ordinary disciple shouldn’t be so openly taken away.
“What exactly is going on here…” Looking at the scene before her, Hu Lan showed a puzzled expression and looked at the person who might be her from the future and asks:
“Are you the future me?”
“Mhm.” The future Hu Lan nodded and said, “Yes, I am the future you, do I need to prove myself?”
Without hesitation, Hu Lan sent a burst of spiritual light towards her future self. Other things can be faked, but the unique technique she secretly cultivated can’t be.
At the same time, the future Hu Lan also released a burst of spiritual light. The spiritual lights emitted by the two are identical, except the future Hu Lan’s is much stronger in terms of spiritual energy.
“Cultivators can fake anything, but not the soul.”
The future Hu Lan laughed and said, “This type of soul-based attack aura can’t be faked. Otherwise, you can go to the underworld and ask the Soul Conductor to verify our identities.”
With this statement from the future Hu Lan, the future immortals’ faces lit up.
“We hadn’t thought of this before, truly ingenious.” Future Qin Zhenren spoke up, “Since that’s the case, let us summon the Underworld Walker to bear witness, shall we?”
“That sounds good.” To be honest, Qin Zhenren genuinely believed that the person before her was indeed her future self. However, to accept this without thorough verification would be quite careless.
“It seems you all need my assistance.” Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the boundary between life and death.
He was dressed in blue robes, holding a lantern in his hand, with a smile on his face. Unlike ordinary cultivators, his body was in a unique state between spirit and solid form.
This state is unique to Underworld Walker, the emissaries from the underworld. He is the envoy from the underworld, the Underworld Walker.
With such a significant event occurring in the human realm, how could the underworld be unaware?
“Are you Lian You, the Underworld Walker?”
Seeing the newcomer, both the present and future immortals recognized him.
“Lian You? Ye Xuan also turned his gaze to the man.
Although Ye Xuan had never truly met him, he was quite familiar with him. After all, this person appeared frequently in Ye Xuan’s scripts.
“Ah, it’s you—!” Hu Qianzao also recognized who he was.
“Do you know him?” Ye Xuan asked Hu Qianzao by his side.
Hu Qianzao nodded and said, “Yes, didn’t I mention before… my memories went through the underworld, and it was Lord Yan Shen who granted me rebirth, with this Lord Lian You pleading on my behalf.”
“I see.” Ye Xuan was naturally aware of this; when Hu Qianzao mentioned that her memories had suddenly recovered, it had indeed given Ye Xuan quite a shock.
After all, such an event was never arranged in Ye Xuan’s scripts.
“Ah, it’s you…” Lian You naturally saw Hu Qianzao, nodded at her, then turned to the future immortals and said, “My friends, to verify your true identities, I will now take the liberty to proceed.”
“Please do.” The future immortals didn’t want to antagonize the current Taihua Sect.
Although with their power, forcibly taking Ye Xuan was not impossible…
Taihua Sect was no weak force, and forcibly taking Ye Xuan would only cause more chaos. Moreover, they did not want a righteous sect like Taihua Sect to truly suffer any mishap.
Being able to prove their identities would indeed save a lot of trouble. With everyone’s agreement, Lian You raised the lantern he held.
“This lantern was bestowed by Lord Yan Shen, and any living being with a soul cannot escape its verification, as for me…” Lian You laughed, “I am essentially a soul, so I suppose there’s no need to verify my own authenticity to you.”
As he spoke, the blue light from the lantern shone brightly, enveloping all the future immortals.
Under the glow of the blue light, the souls of the immortals revealed their true forms.
Indeed, their souls had undergone no changes, and their auras were not fabricated.
“They are all from the future.” Lian You put away the lantern and turned to Ye Xuan, saying, “Young friend… it seems you’re about to face some trouble.”
