"What on earth is going on in your world?!"
In the hands of Daoist Dangmo, the head of Minghua Celestial Immortal dripped with fresh blood. His expression was filled with terror, and his lips trembled as he muttered, surprisingly still able to speak.
And it wasn't just him.
The other three Earth Immortals could also speak. Though their heads had been severed, they hadn't died; they merely experienced the discomfort of being amputated below the neck.([Reddit][1])
However, precisely because they had been beheaded, a certain "influence" they had previously been under was dispelled, allowing an unprecedented fear to surface in their hearts. Minghua Celestial Immortal couldn't even comprehend his earlier thoughts:
A world with over thirty Fruit Positions! How did he dare to come here?
"Could it be... a Supreme made a move against me?"
This was the only explanation. Thinking of this, Minghua Celestial Immortal couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, swallowing all his emotions, narrowly refraining from cursing aloud.([Philosophy China][2])
—Beast!([HKU Scholars Hub][3])
What kind of beings are Supremes? They hold Fruit Positions, high and mighty, yet they made a move against a mere Celestial Immortal like him. Is there no justice? No law?
And what about his own Supreme?
Why didn't they save him?
"You... what exactly..."

In an instant, countless words surged in Minghua Celestial Immortal's heart, but before he could speak, Daoist Dangmo shook him vigorously, causing his eyes to roll back.
"Quiet."
Daoist Dangmo scolded in a low voice, his expression somewhat troubled. His sword intent was named [No Killing]; as the name suggests, his sword doesn't kill.
All those struck by his sword might have their limbs severed or be shattered to pieces, but they wouldn't die. At most, they'd lose all their divine abilities and powers, ending up like Minghua Celestial Immortal and the others—alive but incapable of any further accomplishments.
For some, this was worse than death.
However, in Daoist Dangmo's view, a miserable life is better than a good death. As long as one is alive, there's always hope in life.
The next moment, a light descended.([Dominican University][4])
Daoist Dangmo returned to the ship, his divine sense sweeping over the area. Soon, he frowned as he noticed Ye Xingfeng's absence, causing a sinking feeling in his heart:
"Where's Xingfeng? What's going on?"
"Uncle!"
Seeing Daoist Dangmo finally return, Ye Guyue, who had been suppressing her emotions, immediately flew over. Her delicate face showed a look of resentment.
However, before she could speak, Lü Yang stepped forward and said, "Apologies for disappointing you, Senior. Brother Ye died because of me. I am willing to repay this karma by reincarnating in the Sword Pavilion. Please, Senior, do not blame Senior Sister Ye. All the faults lie with me alone."
Ye Guyue: "..."
Who is your Senior Sister? You haven't even joined the Sword Pavilion yet!
Sword Seed, huh!
"You still want to join the Sword Pavilion?" Ye Guyue gritted her teeth. "Uncle, this person secretly plotted against Xingfeng. Quickly execute him to avenge Xingfeng!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang stood with his hands bound, lowering his head. Although he showed a hint of grievance, he remained silent, appearing obedient and ready to accept any punishment.
Daoist Dangmo shook his head upon seeing this.
The next moment, he reached out and made a gesture, as if stirring the heavens and earth. The surrounding scenes began to rewind, revealing previous events.([Scribd][5])
This wasn't time reversal but a re-enactment of past scenes. Only those who had perfected Foundation Establishment or had exceptionally high cultivation could perform such a feat. In essence, it was asking the heavens and earth to show their "records." If one's cultivation wasn't sufficient, the heavens and earth would simply ignore the request.
Soon, numerous scenes appeared.([Eternal Life Wiki][6])
Moments later, Daoist Dangmo's expression gradually darkened. He wasn't a fool and couldn't possibly overlook the subtle actions of Ye Guyue and Ye Xingfeng.
"...Brought this upon themselves!"([Qingdao News][7])
Daoist Dangmo snorted softly, then waved his sleeve, dispersing the scenes. Although his face showed anger, a deeper helplessness flickered in his eyes.
"Clearly, you intended to kill someone..."
"So what?"
Ye Guyue couldn't comprehend. "Uncle, even if that's the case, we didn't actually kill him. Now that Xingfeng is dead, doesn't he bear any responsibility?"
"Moreover, this person managed to use a divine ability to vanish at such a precise moment. Clearly, he intended to use someone else's hand to kill!"
"Just a coincidence."
Daoist Dangmo shook his head, looking at Lü Yang. "He was inside the [No Existence Heaven] at the time. I've been there; it blocks all divine sense perception."
Ye Guyue was instantly infuriated.
She even felt a bit resentful towards Daoist Dangmo. No wonder the family head always said their uncle was unconventional. She hadn't expected him to be so pedantic!
At this moment, Lü Yang spoke up, "Senior, it was indeed my fault."
He appeared sorrowful and remorseful. "Although Brother Ye's death was unintentional on my part, I still believe I should bear some responsibility."
After speaking, Lü Yang looked at Ye Guyue, sincerely saying, "Senior Sister, please rest assured. Although Brother Ye has died, his soul may not have dissipated. If he can reincarnate, I will personally guide him into the Sword Pavilion and help him regain his former peak. In this way, it can be considered a part of his destiny."
"...Demonic overlord from Jiangbei, and you dare to talk to me about destiny and karma?"
For a moment, this valiant beauty's delicate face turned crimson, her temperature rising. Her gaze towards Lü Yang was filled with murderous intent.
He was using her own words!
"...I'm sorry."
Lü Yang quickly shrank back, quietly taking a step closer to Daoist Dangmo, lowering his head again, displaying an aggrieved look, ready to accept any punishment.
"Alright."
Seeing this, Daoist Dangmo finally spoke, "Xingfeng brought this upon himself. After he reincarnates, I will find a way to bring him back to the family."
For a True Person, even if the soul is scattered, it doesn't mean true death. As long as it's within this world, the fragmented soul can still be guided by the [Netherworld] and reshaped. Although it would result in an entirely new person, if one truly seeks their origin, it still counts as reincarnation.
However, with Daoist Dangmo handling it this way, how could Ye Guyue be content?
"Uncle..."
"No need to say more."
