Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple

Chapter 9: Master is Definitely an Immortal; Even dead can be Resurrected!

"If it were before, with my cultivation in the Sky Realm, I'm afraid going back wouldn't be of much help," Leng Yanran replied honestly.

"But now, after cultivating the Chaos Heaven Demon Art passed down by Master, my cultivation has reached the Second Heaven of the Profound Realm. I feel like I might even be able to challenge a practitioner of the Returning Ruin Realm!"

Feeling her Master's concern, Leng Yanran's heart trembled, and she honestly expressed her thoughts.

Among them in the Moro Kingdom, the highest martial prowess was the ruler, possessing the strength of the Returning Ruin Realm. As for the Leng family, the strongest among them was only at the Ninth Heaven of the Profound Realm, even so, they were still one of the three major families in the Moro Kingdom!

Leng Yanran had a faint suspicion that the trouble her family encountered this time might have been caused by the other two major families.

"Do you have any idea who might be behind the attack on you and your family?" Chen Daoxuan nodded slightly and asked again.

"I don't know. Unfortunately, all three of those who pursued me have died at Master's hands," Leng Yanran replied. "I misspoke... I don't mean to blame Master!"

After her response, Leng Yanran suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized.

"It's fine. But what you said is actually not a bad idea!" Chen Daoxuan didn't mind and his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

On the other hand, Leng Yanran was a bit puzzled. Two of the people who pursued her were turned into blood mist, and the other person's neck was crushed. How could she ask them anything now? Could it be that Master was proficient in soul-summoning techniques?

It wouldn't be surprising, as Master was like an immortal, and it was normal for him to know some esoteric arts.

However, Chen Daoxuan didn't seem to be planning to use soul-summoning techniques. He simply waved his hand, and the remaining corpse floated over to the pavilion.

"Fortunately, I didn't turn all of them into blood mist; otherwise, it would have been troublesome," Chen Daoxuan chuckled, then snapped his fingers.

Following that, the sound of bones crackling echoed, and to Leng Yanran's astonishment, the broken neck of the corpse slowly healed.

"Ugh!" The corpse suddenly took a sharp breath and opened its eyes.

"Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!" Upon opening his eyes, the person who was suspended in mid-air struggled like a trapped beast, with liquid flowing from his pants.

Witnessing this scene, Leng Yanran's pupils contracted in shock!

Revived...?!

This completely exceeded Leng Yanran's comprehension! This was undoubtedly something only an immortal could achieve. Judging by the man's struggling appearance, he wasn't a mere zombie, but fully conscious!

Someone who had been dead for over a day had come back to life just like that?

"Enough chatter!"

Chen Daoxuan snorted coldly, and the assassin's mouth instantly closed. The man trembled uncontrollably, not because he didn't want to speak, but because, with Chen Daoxuan's cold rebuke, he found that he couldn't produce any sound at all!

"She asks, you answer. If my disciple isn't satisfied, I'll let you die a thousand times over, understand?" Chen Daoxuan remained composed, and his voice was remarkably calm. However, the words fell upon the assassin's ears like an icy abyss.

It was as if this youth before him was the most terrifying demon in the world! The assassin nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking for food.

"Good disciple, if you want to know something, just ask," Chen Daoxuan finally turned his head, smiling slightly as he stared at his disciple.

The tone and expression he had when facing the assassin were completely different, leaving the other assassin dumbfounded!

"Thank... Thank you, Master."

Leng Yanran finally came back to her senses, unable to recall how many times her scalp had gone numb from her master's astonishing actions in the past day. But now, gathering information was of utmost importance.

"Who ordered you to chase after me?" Leng Yanran inquired.

"Wuwuwu..." The assassin started, and Chen Daoxuan waved again, allowing the assassin to answer.

"It was Lord Wang who ordered us to come. I'll tell you everything I know! Please spare my life!" The assassin pleaded.

"Lord Wang... Hmph! Do you know the current situation of my Leng family and why no one has come to reinforce me?" Leng Yanran asked.

"I only know that the Wang family and Li family have joined forces to deal with you. As for the current situation, I've already been stationed on the road and have no information about the situation inside the city! I truly don't know anything else. If I lie, let heaven strike me down!" the assassin said in a trembling voice.

"Master, I have finished questioning." Leng Yanran glanced coldly at the assassin before bowing respectfully to her master.

Chen Daoxuan nodded slightly and pointed at the assassin, who then floated toward the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Before the assassin could react, the tea tree suddenly shot out a root that pierced through him. In an instant, he was reduced to nourishment, and all of his insights and achievements were absorbed into the tree. However, due to his low cultivation level, his contribution to the Enlightenment Tea Tree was negligible.

Chen Daoxuan sighed inwardly, regretful that the assassin's resurrection and subsequent death did not reward him with exchange points.

Otherwise, he would have resurrected and killed him countless times to amass a huge number of points and exchange for an immense amount of cultivation time.

Leng Yanran couldn't help but feel surprised by the tea tree's extraordinary ability. Even a profound Realm could be turned into nourishment. It was truly terrifying.

"Master, the heads of those two major families are also at the peak of Profound Realm, just like our Leng family's head. If the two families join forces, it will be difficult for our Leng family to handle. However, I am confident in dealing with them. Please allow me to leave the mountain for a while." Leng Yanran suggested.

Upon hearing this, Chen Daoxuan stroked his chin and came up with an idea. "Since you are determined to leave the mountain, I will suppress my cultivation level and spar with you to test your strength."

The system claimed that Leng Yanran's strength far surpassed the ordinary realm, so it was a good opportunity to verify it while also testing her abilities against an opponent stronger than the Unity Realm. Besides, within the range of the Heavenly Dao Hall, even if he only used the strength of the Qi Realm's Third Layer, she wouldn't suffer any real harm.

"Thank you, Master!"

Leng Yanran's eyes brightened. She had been eager to test her current strength and see if she could handle opponents stronger than those at the Unity Realm.

However, when they faced each other and observed Chen Daoxuan's suppressed cultivation, she was dumbfounded.

"Qi Condensation Realm? Master, I am at the Profound Realm's Second Layer now, and I'm cultivating the divine mythological technique you gave me!" Leng Yanran exclaimed.

The suppression was too severe! The Qi Condensation Realm was the stage of initial cultivation, where practitioners just started absorbing spiritual energy after completing the body tempering phase. It was the realm of beginners!

"It doesn't matter; just give it your all," Chen Daoxuan's lips twitched slightly, feeling a sense of helplessness.

He didn't want to suppress himself to the Third Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm! But the problem was, despite cultivating for over three hundred years, he could only reach the Third Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm. What could he do!?

"Alright, then I will make a move. Master, be careful!"
