“Gather!”
Inside the cave residence, as the Heaven Mending Peak Master spoke a Daoist tone and frantically channeled his magical power, “Chen Xin'an's” soul, which had been on the verge of dissipating, finally regained its stability.
“Am I still alive? Father?”
Looking at the gradually awakening Chen Xin'an, the Heaven Mending Peak Master wore a gentle expression and smiled.
“I knew my son was no common man.”
Evidently, while helping Chen Xin'an re-gather his soul, the Heaven Mending Peak Master had already performed a divination on the karmic ties. After Liu Xin lost the protection of the divine talisman, the events of the past could no longer be concealed.
The banner spirit Chen Xin'an had assumed the karma of the original body and carried the divine talisman with him, perfectly obscuring the heavenly secrets. After all that, the Heaven Mending Peak Master didn't notice anything amiss.
In his divination, the whole story was that Chen Xin'an had been ambushed by the Innate Rogue Cultivator, reduced to a banner spirit controlled by Liu Xin, but had managed to turn the tables and kill him through his own wisdom.
“No matter what, it's good that you're alright.”
