Indeed, the Power of the Law of Death

Qifeng Valley

Chen Chang'an had initially thought this was just an ordinary place inhabited by common folk, but to his surprise, it turned out to be home to quite a few formidable experts.

Could it be that Qifeng Valley was actually one of the more powerful factions within the Flowing Cloud Domain?

Yet, among the forces mentioned by the sect master of the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect, Qifeng Valley didn’t seem to be listed. Were they simply keeping a low profile?

Or were they beneath the notice of the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect?

But Chen Chang'an could sense it—there were Immortal Kings in Qifeng Valley, and not just one.

Could it be that his past self had never offended anyone here, which was why the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect’s leader hadn’t mentioned this place?

"Bastard!"

"Don’t you know the rules of our Qifeng Valley?"

"How dare you bring an outsider back? And into our home, no less?"

"If the other families find out, they’ll come knocking on our door!"

The old man, who should have been the grandfather, was now being scolded like a misbehaving child.

"Grandfather, don’t be angry. Anger harms the body. I had my reasons for doing this."

Well, well.

So he really was the grandson!

"Reasons?"

"What possible reasons could you have?"

"I think you’ve grown too bold, daring to defy the rules set by everyone."

"I… I…"

The grandfather of the old man—perhaps due to his cultivation level, appearing only middle-aged—was in the middle of berating him when suddenly, he choked on his words, collapsed to the ground, and stopped moving.

Seeing this, the old man’s heart lurched. He rushed over in panic, crying out, "Grandfather! Grandfather, what’s wrong?"

"Grandfather, don’t scare me like this!"

"Someone, please save my grandfather!"

Hereditary!

This was definitely hereditary!

The scene was identical to when Chen Chang'an had first met that grandfather and grandson pair—except this time, the one calling for help was the former grandfather, and the one lying unconscious was his own grandfather.

"Let me take a look."

"Yes, yes! You’re the miracle doctor! Please save my grandfather!"

Hearing Chen Chang'an’s words, the old man snapped back to reality—there was a ready-made miracle doctor right here.

Chen Chang'an seized this opportunity to examine whether these people were truly afflicted by the influence of Death Law fragments, causing such bizarre illnesses.

"It really is!"

Placing his hand on the man’s body, Chen Chang'an pretended to treat him while actually inspecting his condition.

Sure enough, there was a trace of Death Energy within his body, identical to the Death Law power Chen Chang'an wielded.

Without a doubt, there must be a Death Law fragment hidden somewhere in Qifeng Valley!

"Hmm?"

Chen Chang'an initially tried to extract the Death Law energy, only to find it impossible to draw out.

"Fine, I’ll use Life Law instead."

The Death Law energy in the man’s body wasn’t particularly strong—it only flared up at specific moments. Otherwise, these people would have long since perished.

As Chen Chang'an channeled Life Law energy from his left hand into the man’s body, the latter slowly opened his eyes.

"I… survived?"

His eyes flickered with excitement and relief. The sensation of teetering on the brink of death had convinced him he was done for.

"Grandfather! Grandfather, you’re alright!" He Xiao exclaimed joyfully.

"I… I’m fine. I pulled through."

"No, you didn’t pull through—the miracle doctor saved you."

"Oh? Miracle doctor?"

He Bi glanced at his grandson, then noticed Chen Chang'an standing nearby.

"Was it really you who saved me just now?"

"Do you have a way to cure the strange illness plaguing our people?"

"Grandfather, now you see I wasn’t fooling around, right?"

"This man—a healer with boundless compassion, possessing peerless medical skills yet seeking no reward, only wishing to save lives."

"In all my years, I’ve never met someone so selflessly virtuous."

"A true role model for us all!"

He Xiao was practically gushing, ready to sing Chen Chang'an’s praises to the heavens.

"No, no."

"I don’t deserve such praise."

"I merely did what little I could to help those in suffering."

"It’s the duty of all who study medicine." Chen Chang'an waved his hands humbly, feigning modesty.

"See, Grandfather? Just look at him!"

"Such character, such awareness—"

"Get out of the way."

He Bi shoved He Xiao aside and hurried over to Chen Chang'an, his face alight with excitement.

"Miracle doctor, come with me. I’ll take you to meet my grandfather."

Huh?

What the—?

Do you people just mass-produce grandfathers or something?

How many grandfathers are there?

"Grandfather, your grandfather took them away."

"Yes, my grandfather is taking them to see his grandfather."

He Bi led Chen Chang'an to his grandfather, who, upon hearing that Chen Chang'an could cure the illness, immediately dragged him off to meet his own grandfather…

After this dizzying chain of introductions, even Chen Chang'an—let alone Da Huang and Yi Tuo—was thoroughly confused.

Who was whose grandfather? And whose grandfather was whose?

"You… whose grandfather are you? Please don’t tell me you’re taking me to meet your grandfather too?" Chen Chang'an was starting to lose track.

"I am the Ancestor of the He Family. I have no grandfather left."

"I heard you have a way to treat our strange illness?" The He Family Ancestor asked gravely.

"Before coming here, I wasn’t certain. But now, I can confirm—I can cure it." Chen Chang'an nodded confidently.

"Grandfather, I just heard from my grandson that his grandson’s grandson’s grandson fell ill and was cured by this man."

"Good, good!"

"After nearly a million years, Qifeng Valley’s mysterious illness can finally be treated!"

Hearing the He Family Ancestor’s words, Chen Chang'an found it odd. While others might be affected, the Ancestor was an Immortal King—could even he fall victim to this?

"Do you also suffer from this illness?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.

"I don’t know!"

"That’s the strangest part—no one knows who will be struck by it."

"But once it flares up, nine out of ten people die."

"And I’ve noticed that the stronger the cultivator, the higher the chance of death."

Chen Chang'an nodded in understanding. The Death Law was an advanced force—ironically, it was gentler on ordinary folk. But for cultivators, once Death Law energy invaded their bodies, the damage was far more severe!

"I can cure you all, but there’s something you must agree to."

"What is it?"

"Grant me unrestricted movement within Qifeng Valley. No one is to stop me, no matter where I go."

"I need to find the source of this illness."

At this, the He Family Ancestor frowned. While this was a good thing, Qifeng Valley wasn’t his alone to govern.

"Ancestor, trouble!"

"The other three families are at our doorstep!"
