Chapter 317: Chapter 229: The Turnaround Begins!

"Impossible! Then let me see your true form!"

Li Ping’an immediately used his Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden and saw a scene that made his hair stand on end:

Pei Yuanjing, corpse, Taoist cultivator: mysterious heart realm 15%, strength: 600, Mana: 600, defense: 800

Critical hit rate: 20%, critical hit combo: 50%, damage bonus: 20%, damage reduction: 0%

Four disasters resistance:

Cold Immunity: 0%, Fire Immunity: 30%, Poison Immunity: 0%, Lightning Immunity: 0%

"What? What? What?"

Li Ping’an thought he had seen wrong. After fiercely rubbing his eyes and blinking several times, Li Ping’an again used Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden to take another look at Pei Yuanjing.

The result was still the same!

Pei Yuanjing turned out to be a dead man!

"But how can a dead man be resurrected?"

Li Ping’an was so shocked by the scene before him that he was rendered speechless.

...

"Pei Yuanjing, you’re actually not dead?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was both surprised and delighted. Surprised because Pei Yuanjing seemed alive, but delighted to see him alive. Pei Yuanjing appeared lifeless, with dull eyes devoid of Spiritual Energy and skin as pale as the dead, lacking any luster. His body was wrapped in an evil aura. If not for the resemblance to Pei Yuanjing, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen would have thought someone else was impersonating a corpse!

"Master, looking at Uncle-master’s appearance, he seems like a dead person!"

"Master, something is off about Uncle-master. He looks like a living corpse!"

"Master, Uncle-master’s body is covered in wounds, and he looks like he’s been pieced together. Something’s not right!"

"Master, why would Uncle-master walk out of a coffin? How bizarre!"

Senior Brother Jiao Chujun of the Flame Cloud Sect, along with the second, third, and fourth senior brothers, were wholly disappointed upon seeing the person in the coffin. They were disheartened because they no longer had a chance to become the future Sect Master of the Flame Cloud Sect.

But after their disappointment, they noticed the eerie aspects of Pei Yuanjing, both his own person and the sinister coffin.

In any case, the current Pei Yuanjing felt like a walking dead man! Or rather, a dead living man!

"Senior Brother Zhuge, didn’t you say Pei Yuanjing was killed by Li Ping’an? How can he suddenly be alive?"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, frowned and said:

"If Pei Yuanjing is indeed alive, it will be difficult for us to deal with Li Ping’an!"

"Uncle-master Zhuge, no offense, but is this Pei Yuanjing alive or dead?"

Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect felt disappointed and said:

"If Pei Yuanjing is still alive, it won’t be easy to kill Li Ping’an!"

"However, Pei Yuanjing appears to be a dead man!"

"Li Ping’an’s opportunity has come..."

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, excitedly turned to Wang Tianran to ask:

"Young Master Wang, is this Pei Yuanjing alive or dead? I can’t tell at all?"

"He seems alive yet dead..."

Wang Tianran gave a noncommittal response.

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, gave Wang Tianran a disdainful look for not telling the truth:

"That’s the same as saying nothing, isn’t it?"

"Hahahaha!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, had already concluded that Pei Yuanjing, the second most talented under heaven, was indeed dead. But just to spite Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, stood up, pointed at Pei Yuanjing inside the coffin, and confronted Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, demanding:

"Zhuge Junchen, didn’t you say that Li Ping’an killed your sect disciple Pei Yuanjing?"

"Then how is this Pei Yuanjing still alive?"

"Aren’t you making fools out of everyone here?"

"Do you have a personal grudge against Li Ping’an?"

"Don’t you think you owe everyone an explanation?"

"By the way, you should clear Li Ping’an’s name!"

Upon seeing and hearing this, the other cultivators could also tell that Pei Yuanjing seemed to have died, but there he was standing alive before them, so they too were eager to understand what was going on and began asking Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect:

"Sect Master Zhuge, what on earth is going on here?"

"Did Li Ping’an really kill Pei Yuanjing?"

"Are you using us?"

"Sect Master Zhuge, could you please explain to us?"

"Sect Master Zhuge, don’t stay silent!"

"Explain to you?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect roared furiously:

"Who the hell will explain this to me?"

"..."

The group of cultivators was so intimidated by Sect Master Zhuge Junchen’s outburst that they didn’t dare speak.

"Immeasurable’s Lord Master, it is wrong to curse!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen immediately quickly chanted a passage of the scripture to atone for his sin, and then once again turned to Pei Yuanjing inside the coffin, demanding sternly:

"Pei Yuanjing, are you alive or dead after all?"

"It’s none of your business!"

After saying this, Pei Yuanjing immediately stepped out of the coffin and looked at everything before him expressionlessly.

"What did you say? Pei Yuanjing! What did you say?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect never expected that his most beloved disciple would speak to him like this, and although he was furious, he found it very strange:

"Pei Yuanjing, what’s wrong with you? Tell your master! I will definitely solve your problem for you!"

"Sorry!"

Pei Yuanjing coldly replied:

"I am here today to tell you that I voluntarily resign from the Flame Cloud Sect!"

"Which means, I, Pei Yuanjing, am no longer a member of the Flame Cloud Sect!"

"Pei Yuanjing! Why have you suddenly become like this?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect said excitedly:

"Pei Yuanjing, tell me, who made you like this? Who forced you to say this?"

"No one forced me!"

Pei Yuanjing still replied coldly and mercilessly:

"This is a decision I made myself!"

"Very well then!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect became extremely angry, feeling as if all his past efforts for Pei Yuanjing had been in vain, and in a fit of rage, he was about to go forward and kill Pei Yuanjing.
