Chapter 286 Nirvana Reincarnation Method

Li Fan merely smiled and remained silent in response to Zhang Qianmo's questioning.

"I never thought that the number one Sect in the world back then would now stoop to associating with Yao Beasts."

A hint of disdain flashed across Zhang Qianmo's face: "It seems that the efforts of the Immortal Dao Sects all these years were not in vain."

Li Fan's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly, "Senior Brother Zhang, some things in this world are not as simple as they appear on the surface."

"If I said that I have no connection whatsoever with the Xuantian Sect, would you believe me?"

Zhang Qianmo looked at Li Fan with the gaze of an idiot, as if to say, 'Do you think I'd believe that?' and snorted coldly without speaking.

Li Fan smiled and did not dwell on the question.

Observing Zhang Qianmo and reviewing the memories of possessing Li Chen, he discovered some interesting details that he had not noticed before.

He pondered in silence for a moment, then probed, "Xuantian Sect, ah, that was many years ago. Your Immortal Dao Sects regard it as a taboo. Since I joined the Zixiao Sect, for so many years, I've never heard any news about the Xuantian Sect."

"Senior Brother, you're not much older than me. How do you know all these secrets so clearly?"

Zhang Qianmo's expression changed slightly, but he still did not answer.

Seeing his guess confirmed, Li Fan continued to press: "I used to feel that Master and Junior Martial Uncle had a strange attitude towards you."

"Before, I thought it was because Senior Brother your talent was too good."

"Now that I think about it…"

Li Fan smiled.

Zhang Qianmo's face slowly darkened.

"Plus, although we are Senior Brothers, Senior Brother your cultivation of Divine Abilities is far superior to mine!"

"Especially your [Purple Core Nirvana Method]…"

When Li Fan mentioned this, Zhang Qianmo's expression finally changed completely.

He looked deeply at Li Fan, as if to remember him forever.

In an instant, his aura, which had already diminished to that of a Mortal, was rapidly disappearing.

Li Fan was somewhat startled and quickly stepped forward to check, but it was already too late.

By the time he reached Zhang Qianmo's side, Senior Brother Zhang had completely lost all signs of life.

"Feigned death?"

"Nirvana?"

Li Fan did not relax his vigilance and began to examine him.

After a long while, Li Fan stood up, rubbing his chin.

The result was somewhat unexpected.

Zhang Qianmo had actually died.

And, unlike before, he did not undergo Rebirth from his Purple Core after death.

Instead, he had completely perished.

If this were in the real world, there should have been an unusual phenomenon descending from the sky at this moment.

"A secret technique that can self-destruct even with all vital points sealed…"

"Knowing ancient secrets, with a subtly different status within the School."

"Though only at Foundation Establishment cultivation, he possesses a Heaven-Defying grand ambition. His vision is terrifyingly high…"

Li Fan pondered, then sighed, "It seems this Senior Brother Zhang has another identity."

"What a pity…"

Out of caution, he did not remove the absolute immortal stone needles, but instead directly searched Zhang Qianmo's body.

Other than a storage ring, there was nothing else of value.

His Divine Sense tried to enter the ring to see what was inside.

But it was blocked by a flash of purple lightning.

"It seems there's a Restriction that cannot be broken." After trying more than ten times without success, Li Fan felt a bit regretful.

"Forget it, I can't take it back to reality anyway."

Li Fan simply gave up.

"Senior Brother Zhang is dealt with. Next, it's that Steward Song."

After some thought, Li Fan dug a pit in the secret chamber and placed Zhang Qianmo's body inside.

Then he covered it with the absolute immortal stone Slab.

Afterward, he headed straight for the Rebirth Longevity Tree in the center of the city.

As he approached, he released his aura.

"Which Senior Brother has arrived?!" Song He Song's slightly surprised voice came.

Soon, a figure in a gray Daoist robe appeared before Li Fan.

"So it's Senior Brother Li!"

Li Fan did not exchange pleasantries with him, but instead said coldly, "Steward Song, you manage this Ningyuan City very well!"

Song He Song was startled by Li Fan's immediate accusatory tone, thinking that their plot had been exposed and their ambush revealed.

He instinctively wanted to make a move.

However, he held back and asked tentatively, "Senior Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Li Fan snorted, "Senior Brother Zhang and I discovered some taboo items in the city. If these things were exposed in our Zixiao Sect territory, not to mention you, a mere Steward, even the Sect would likely be greatly implicated."

"Taboo items?" Song He Song couldn't help but feel a bit lost.

Feigning a look of panic and ignorance, Song He Song asked, "What exactly is it that has committed such a great taboo? Please enlighten me, Senior Brother!"

Li Fan turned and flew towards Mr. Bai's courtyard.

"Follow me!"

Song He Song looked at Li Fan's receding figure and hesitated for a moment.

His Divine Sense swept around, and Chu Liang and the others were still ambushing at the planned location, with no mishaps.

Relying on his Golden Core cultivation, Song He Song still fearlessly followed quietly.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the underground secret chamber.

Li Fan's slightly surprised voice came from below: "Oh? Where's Senior Brother Zhang?"

Song He Song's Divine Sense swept around, found no ambush, and followed him inside.

Upon seeing the dilapidated faceless stone statue standing in the secret chamber, he was slightly stunned.

Because this statue was completely outside the range of his Divine Sense perception.

"Could the taboo item Senior Brother mentioned be this statue?" Song He Song couldn't help but ask.

Li Fan nodded and leaned closer: "Precisely, it's this [xuantian divine statue]!"

"xuantian divine statue…" Steward Song frowned slightly, as if he had heard this name a long time ago.

A moment later, he seemed to remember something, his body trembled slightly, and his pupils contracted.

He suddenly looked at the faceless stone statue again.

Just then…

"Pfft!"

A stone needle pierced through his Dantian from behind.

He was incomparably horrified and was about to counterattack when the Qi circulation in his body stagnated.

What awaited him were the next thirty-five absolute immortal stone needles.

With all vital points sealed, Song He Song collapsed to the ground.

A wave of regret surged in his mind, but he still had some hope, and he asked with difficulty, "Senior Brother, what do you mean by this? I truly was unaware that this xuantian divine statue was hidden in the city."

"Although I am guilty of dereliction of duty, my crime does not warrant this…"

Li Fan's words interrupted him mercilessly, sending his heart sinking to the bottom.

"What if we add colluding with outsiders and attempting something illicit? A Golden Core cultivator impersonating a Qi Refining Cultivator, you really went to great lengths!"

Song He Song's face immediately turned ashen.

He still wanted to make one last struggle, but it was futile.

Li Fan approached step by step: "Let me see what exactly you know."

Having seen all of Song He Song's subtle changes in expression, Li Fan's face revealed a somewhat chilling smile.

Song He Song watched as the other party took out tools such as a hammer, knife, and nails one by one from a wooden box, meticulously arranging them on the table.

Cold sweat couldn't help but drip from his forehead.
