Chapter 211 Cultivators Do Not Believe in the Afterlife
"Accepting a karmic connection?!!"

The moment they heard Zhao Zhen utter those two words, the extraordinary individuals from various sects who were watching began to discuss among themselves.

"Did you hear that right? Chairman Zhao sent Li Muxuan to collect offerings? Isn't that basically sending him to his death?"

"Yes, who in the entire world of supernatural beings doesn't know the rules of the Quanxing sect? Since ancient times, no one has ever been able to successfully recruit a soulmate while still alive!"

"I remember that among the Quanxing disciples back then, the last one to accept a disciple was Zhao Dong's master, right?"

“Yes, I remember it too. I was also present at that gathering of karmic connections. It was Master Jin Guang of Quanxing.”

……

Zhao Zhen ignored the surrounding chatter and walked straight to Li Muxuan.

"Before he died, Master Zuo said to his disciples, 'You have not yet finished your journey in this life. Be careful, be careful.'"

"The journey of this life is not yet over..."

Li Muxuan murmured softly.

"Li Muxuan, stop talking about the afterlife. You know that's a Buddhist theory. We Taoists never believe in that."

We haven't even finished walking the path of this life yet, so how can we talk about being a beast of burden in the next life?
I'll ask you one last time: are you afraid of dying?

"Not afraid."

Li Muxuan shook his head.

"Alright, then go and collect the offerings. Considering you came to pay your respects to Master Zuo, I'll help you one last time today."

Senior Brother Chengzhen, could you arrange for Li Muxuan to collect the offerings at your Sanyi Sect? This would allow us, the later generations, to help the Left Sect Master completely settle this karmic debt.

Zhao Zhen is here, and I'm entrusting this to you in advance!

Chengzhen paused slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face.

After all, Li Muxuan is still a member of the Quanxing Sect. Choosing his Sanyi Sect as the location for gathering people is unprecedented!
Just as Chengzhen was still hesitating, Lu Jin also clasped his hands and pleaded, "Sect Leader, I beg you!"

Seeing that Lu Jin had stepped forward to express his support for Zhao Zhen, Cheng Zhen sighed inwardly.

"Very well, the beginning of fate is in the Three Ones, and the end of fate is in the Three Ones. Chairman Zhao, Junior Brother Lu, I agree to your request."

I have only one request: this karmic connection must be completed seven days after my master's burial.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Li Muxuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his eyes filled with gratitude for everyone.

He has committed such a grave mistake, yet even in this dire situation, there are still people willing to speak up for him.

Li Muxuan, oh Li Muxuan, how incredibly lucky you are in this life!
"Ugh……"

Chengzhen sighed again, looking at Zuo Ruotong's memorial tablet behind her, and whispered, "Master, was what I did right or wrong...?"
-
A few days later, a message spread by Na Du Tong instantly reignited the already somewhat cooled-down world of supernatural beings.

"Have you heard? 'Immortal of Great Harmony,' Zuo Ruotong, has passed away..."

"Dude, are you from the mountains? You're so out of touch!"

"Can you please let me finish? On the very day of Zuo Ruotong's burial, the Sanyi Sect announced that it would hold a 'Fate Gathering' ceremony for Li Muxuan at the Sanyi Sect in seven days!"

"Li Muxuan?"

"That's the evil child from Quanxing! The one who caused a huge ruckus at Sanyi Gate with Wugensheng back then, almost driving Zuo Ruotong to her death!"

"Oh, it's him! This guy seems to have completely disappeared since the incident at the Trinity Gate. How come he suddenly reappeared?"

"Who knows? In any case, it seems that this donation drive was personally presided over by Zhao Zhen, the chairman of Nadutong, and the location was right at the Sanyi Gate!"

"Why should Zhao Zhen be in charge of this territory of Sanyimen?"

"I heard that firstly, it's because Zhao Zhen and the Sanyi Sect are indeed very close, and secondly, the Sanyi Sect itself has a score to settle with Li Muxuan, so they handed over the responsibility of presiding over the position to Zhao Zhen." "I see. Heh, this is going to be quite lively! I remember the last time the Quanxing Sect members collected donations was twenty years ago, right?"

"That's right, and the last person to accept donations was none other than Duan Chuan, the Golden Light Master, who is now the CEO of Na Du Tong and the mentor of Zhao Zhen, the Golden Thunder Lord!"

"I remember how tragically the Golden Light Master died back then. If he hadn't taken on a good disciple before he died, he probably wouldn't even have been left with a complete corpse!"

"What do you know? The purpose of Master Jin Guang's gathering was to pave the way for his disciple!"
Otherwise, how did Zhao Zhen, a disciple of the Quanxing demon, manage to reach his current position?
Expecting those Quanxing heretics to genuinely repent is nothing but wishful thinking.

"Indeed, but would any of you be interested in going to take a look at this donation drive?"

"Even if you didn't say anything, we would definitely go. Now that the fighting has calmed down a bit, why not go and see what kind of fun it is?"

"Hey, speaking of which, isn't Wugensheng on good terms with Li Muxuan? Do you think he'll show up this time to collect offerings?"

"Him? Give me a break! Ever since the list of the Thirty-Six Thieves was leaked, Quanxing, feeling betrayed, has been hunting down Wugensheng everywhere!"

In this situation, how could he possibly have the courage to show his face in front of everyone? Unless he had a death wish!

"Haha, that's right. You lot, shall we go?"

"Let's go!"

……

Trinity Gate.

With Zuo Ruotong's burial, Sanyi Gate returned to its former tranquility.

Although the news of Li Muxuan's recruitment of disciples has spread in the past few days, many extraordinary people from other sects have gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The time for gathering offerings had not yet arrived, and the Sanyi Sect refused to let people up the mountain. These people had no choice but to obediently stay in the small town at the foot of the mountain.

"Sect Leader, the Quanxing sect down the mountain is fighting with the Huode sect again!"

"Go and bring some people to mediate and stop them from causing trouble."

Inside the main hall, Chengzhen glanced helplessly at Zhao Zhen in front of her.

"Chairman Zhao, you've really landed a great job for our Sanyi Gate..."

"Master Wu, what you're saying is quite something. You were the one who personally approved Li Muxuan's decision to accept donations at the Sanyi Sect!"

Zhao Zhen chuckled, then glanced at Li Muxuan, who was silently sweeping the floor outside the main hall.

"Has this kid been behaving himself these past few days?"

"It feels like he's a completely different person."

Chengzhen sighed sincerely.

"I still remember how arrogant he was when he first joined the school, but now there's not a trace of that person left."

"People always grow up. As they experience more things and make more mistakes, they will naturally begin to reflect and repent."

Isn't this exactly what Master Zuo has always wanted to see?

"Yes, it's just a pity that Li Muxuan realized his mistake a little too late, and his master didn't get to see it."

"How do you know that Elder Zuo can't see it?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly chuckled.

"What do you mean?"

Faced with Chengzhen's doubts, Zhao Zhen smiled and pointed to the sky.

"If Li Muxuan truly repents, the spirit of the Left Sect Master in heaven will see it."

　I went to the hospital today, so I'm a little late. Sorry!
