Do you have any leads on this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have spent these days investigating and have uncovered some results; at that time, perhaps the Vessel-Bearer must join forces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? There is such a thing? How did you come to learn of it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master left behind a Scroll of Time, which describes how the human race’s former sages used sacred relics as conduits to link destiny with the Dao. We may emulate this method—I have transcribed the specific records from the scroll; please, review them, fellow cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zuo Qiuyang gave a subtle glance to Qin Rong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Rong immediately nodded, took out three transcribed scrolls from the Scroll of Time, and handed them to the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three accepted them, exchanged glances, then unrolled the scrolls to examine them closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zuo Qiuyang lifted his teacup, sipping slowly while observing their expressions, a faint, unnoticed frown flickering in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Dao Debate, over the matter of that single thread of destiny, the Heavenly Book Academy and Spirit Sword Mountain unexpectedly aligned, while these three immortal sects formed an alliance in sharp opposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after the Heavenly Book Academy’s edict was sent far and wide, Zuo Qiuyang had expected a long wait for any response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the restoration of the Former Sages’ Sacred Ground was still some time off; they could easily delay indefinitely to express their discontent over the Dao Debate’s outcomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet to Zuo Qiuyang’s surprise, the three sects replied with surprising eagerness and directness, arriving together this very evening, even volunteering to discuss defenses against the demon clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally intended to travel to Zhongzhou to witness Ji You’s realm breakthrough, but realizing destiny’s matter was more critical, he remained here to negotiate with these three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet for some reason, his heart now felt uneasy…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Report, Deputy Head: Elder Ku Ye has moved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Xingkong sat in a teahouse atop the Questioning Dao Peak, gazing toward Zhongzhou as he replied softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there was an unexpected development,” Shang Lie hesitated a moment, then spoke honestly: “The Spirit Sword Mountain’s Junior Mirror Master suddenly appeared in the mountains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter. The Mirror Master is merely Wujiang; even if he cannot directly oppose the Sacred Relic, he possesses sufficient means to complete his task.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sufficient means?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Xingkong did not answer, but lifted his teacup and slowly sipped the warm tea within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ancient blade, left over from a bygone age, had once startled even him—a cultivator who had reached the peak of the Upper Five Realms—when he first sensed its killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He awakened it not only because he was orphaned, childless, unregistered in any immortal sect, and thus the most suitable candidate, but also because he truly excelled at killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle-rustle-rustle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the chaotic rain of the Former Sages’ Sacred Ground, countless crimson ripples roared downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shuyi, holding the Spirit Mirror, continuously swept her sleeve; the fierce immortal light within the mirror instantly shattered the hidden ripples concealed within the night rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was divine wandering’s mind-killing technique—but far more terrifying and harder to detect. From her estimation, this person had specialized in soul-attack techniques and refined them through heavenly-human resonance into an undisclosed art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this art was cunning and venomous, it could never evade her Spirit Mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dog had cultivated for six years and made countless enemies; she had come here personally fearing someone might interfere—but she could not understand why he struck in this manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as a bolt of lightning split the night sky, she saw the shattered ripples instantly reform into countless fine threads, rushing downward in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illuminated night seemed filled with countless crimson insects surging silently, directly rushing toward Ji You’s location on Dongshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shuyi’s face changed instantly; she dove downward, slashing fiercely with her Spirit Mirror—only to see another layer upon layer of ripples roaring toward Dongshan, densely filling the void, bypassing her guarded position and twisting away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did the Junior Mirror Master realize: this technique could ignore spatial distance; each killing thought was immortal, like an ever-present curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To find him, she must find him—only then could she destroy him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, these killing thoughts would eventually drown the entire Former Sages’ Sacred Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosive immortal light erupted from the Spirit Mirror, bursting into ten thousand rays of colorful aurora, annihilating the revived killing thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this light did not cease as before—it shot rapidly in all directions, instantly illuminating the entire chaotic sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Yan Shuyi narrowed her cold phoenix eyes; behind her slender immortal figure appeared a colossal silver wheel, and her primordial spirit sword, like moonlight, slashed violently toward a distant direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principle of a mirror is reflection; its light must travel straight, never deviate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pssshh—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a crisp sword-song howled across the heavens, the thick thunderclouds were cleaved open by a long gash, and a figure, spewing blood, suddenly tumbled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the figure fell past her line of sight, Yan Shuyi froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slain man’s aura was weak; his realm was barely Rongdao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not him. A puppet, transferring spiritual thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shuyi froze, then saw an even vaster wave of killing thoughts crash down from the deep void…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—a heavy thud echoed clearly into every ear as the puppet’s corpse plummeted onto the hillside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before the immortal light had slashed through the heavens, those in the valleys had sensed something amiss; now, seeing the corpse fall, they widened their eyes in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could a corpse fall from the sky?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The blood is still steaming—he was just killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Spirit Mirror light—that’s the Junior Mirror Master of Spirit Sword Mountain’s aura!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes trembled as they suddenly realized: a battle was raging high above the thick clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the cultivators in the valley seemed to grasp the truth—they gasped open-mouthed: “It wasn’t Ji You who suddenly interrupted his breakthrough—he was attacked!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the dead man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, not him. He’s still alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked upward and saw the Spirit Mirror’s immortal light still relentlessly striking, flooding the chaotic sky with radiant auroras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Luo, Chen Xi, and Huo Xingzhong also gazed upward, thinking: the Questioning Dao Sect finally couldn’t hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was expected—but what terrified them was the attacker’s methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the crimson ripples first appeared, they had already pushed their spiritual senses to their limits—yet they could not detect even a trace of his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most terrifying was his attack method, which defied all logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Wandering cultivators can kill with spiritual thoughts—formless and invisible—but they cannot evade pursuit by Sacred Relics; thus, this ripple-like technique could not be mere spiritual killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, all Divine Wandering cultivators in the world are known to them—but this man, they had never heard of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—in the distant sky, another crimson wave was shattered by immortal light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vessel-Bearer…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the heavy leaden clouds, a faint, aged murmur drifted slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A withered, dark-skinned elder sat within a haze of smoke, squinting his cloudy eyes at the slender, defiant figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ku Ye was a relic of the previous generation; his short life was half spent in killing, half in slumber, having witnessed two shifts of power, unfamiliar with this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet based on the information and portraits he received, he easily identified Yan Shuyi’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Mirror resists all arts—he knew that anyone leaving a trace would surely die—but by coincidence, a century ago, to kill that man, he had already learned how to evade Sacred Relic detection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see which one the Mirror Master chooses, Ku Ye thought, glancing at the bamboo courtyard nearby, then gently flicking his withered finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Caimei, upon seeing Yan Shuyi fly from the bamboo courtyard, knew something was wrong; now she stood atop the hillside, gazing afar, heart uneasy—before she could understand what was happening, she suddenly felt a chilling void pierce her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A venomous curse, formless and invisible, carried a horrifying aura and stabbed directly into her pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beam of immortal light descended from the heavens; Yan Shuyi stepped into Wujiang, wielding the Spirit Mirror to annihilate the curse within its mirrorlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, from the colossal silver wheel behind her, a majestic sword intent slashed toward the previous direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword’s tip targeted a single raindrop—a crimson drop, glowing faintly, falling amid the torrential rain toward Dongshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, all hearts leapt in shock—they realized: it was a feint.\u003C\u002Fp>",1738,"2026-06-19T15:28:41.422Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3d10729a73c287daaf81711654c2d2c5728fb789125046b7bdca5379ccd30254","watching-the-immortals-fall-chapter-394","watching-the-immortals-fall-chapter-392",430,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwatching-the-immortals-fall-cover.jpg"]
