Chapter 50: You Should Be More Concerned About Your Poor Little Junior Brother Who Got His Eggs Cracked!

“Is that really a remnant of the Demon Sect?”

The Law Enforcement Elder said, incredulously.

The black lotus on the sole of the corpse’s right foot was shocking.

A remnant of the Demon Sect had infiltrated the Qingyang Sword Sect for a full three years!

No doubt about it, this outer disciple named Niu Yong probably wasn’t even using his real name.

At this moment, a wave of gasps echoed among the crowd.

Suddenly, the corpse shriveled up, and a stream of blood flowed out from beneath it, quickly corroding the clothing on its body.

Pang Hu quickly dodged out of the way.

The people around the corpse hurriedly retreated as well.

Everyone stared, transfixed, as the corpse rapidly dissolved before their eyes.

Before long, the entire body had turned into a pool of blood.

Witnessing this spectacle left everyone completely dumbfounded.

They watched as the pool of blood continued to eat away at the wooden floor.

Before they knew it, a large hole had been corroded into the thick wooden flooring.

None of them were strangers to descending the mountain for training.

Especially Lei Renjie, Ye Qingyao, and Li Yunhu, the direct disciples of the elders, all of whom had accompanied their masters down the mountain for experience.

Yet, this was the first time they had seen something so bizarre.

A corpse turning into a pool of blood right before their eyes?

If Pang Hu had been a moment too late, the only clue left on the corpse would have vanished along with it.

“What a powerful poison, it can not only kill someone instantly but also dissolve their body.”

The Law Enforcement Elder furrowed his brow.

Hadn’t the Demon Sect already retreated from the Demon Abyss ten thousand years ago?

How could remnants of the Demon Sect appear here?

And worse, how could this remnant have been hiding in the outer sect of the Qingyang Sword Sect?

This was no trivial matter.

The Law Enforcement Elder raised his hand.

Instantly, Lei Renjie, Li Yunhu, and the others surrounded Pang Hu and his subordinates.

“Elder, I’m innocent!”

Pang Hu fell to his knees before the Law Enforcement Elder.

“Elder, have mercy…”

“Elder, please spare us…”

Pang Hu’s men trembled on the ground in sheer terror, completely frightened.

To the Law Enforcement Elder, they were as insignificant as ants.

If the Law Enforcement Elder wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as squashing a bug.

Xiao Yang shook his head at this scene.

This was the handiwork of Qin Fei. If he was that easy to catch in the first place, he wouldn’t be Qin Fei.

The Law Enforcement Elder would never find anything.

If the mission failed, the remnants of the Demon Sect wouldn’t just sit back and wait for the Law Enforcement Elder to catch them.

“Show us your soles!”

The Law Enforcement Elder commanded loudly.

Pang Hu quickly took off his shoes and socks, revealing his soles.

Others hurriedly followed suit.

Pang Hu and his subordinates did not have black lotus flowers on their soles.

“Seal off South Stone Town and check everyone’s soles!”

The Law Enforcement Elder ordered sternly.

“Yes, Elder!”

Lei Renjie, Li Yunhu, Ye Qingyao, Fang Ritian, Chu Haoran, Qi Xuan, Yun Qianxue, Han Bin, and Song Qiang responded in unison and immediately sprang into action.

Only Xiao Yang and Lin Wangchuan were still eating and drinking.

Xiao Yang was the Holy Son of the sect, a respected figure, so the Law Enforcement Elder couldn’t order him around.

As for Lin Wangchuan, with his naive and carefree personality, the Law Enforcement Elder figured as long as he didn’t make trouble, that was good enough.

“Rebel son, you’re still in the mood to eat and drink here?”

Xiao Zhenshan scolded Xiao Yang.

“Aren’t you all hungry?”

Xiao Yang glanced at his parents and younger sister.

They had traveled most of the day; even in a horse-drawn cart, they would be tired and hungry.

“……”

Xiao Zhenshan and the others were left speechless.

“Don’t worry, aside from that one jug of wine, the food is all safe. I’ve tried everything.”

Xiao Yang said, putting down his chopsticks.

“Holy Son, how do you know that wine of yours is poisoned?”

The Law Enforcement Elder stepped forward, looking coldly at him.

“I guessed!”

Xiao Yang casually replied.

“Guessed?”

The Law Enforcement Elder was taken aback, then felt a surge of anger—was this guy just brushing him off?

Xiao Yang remained silent, and there was nothing the Law Enforcement Elder could do about it.

After all, Xiao Yang was the Holy Son, the heir to the next Sect Leader.

Even if Xiao Yang made a mistake, the Law Enforcement Elder couldn’t punish him privately.

The Law Enforcement Elder glared at Xiao Yang one last time and turned to head downstairs.

Meanwhile, Pang Hu had started consolidating all the outer disciples in South Stone Town to secure the area.

They had intended to rest and grab a bite in Huangshi Town before heading to Yuanlong City.

Who would have thought remnants of the Demon Sect would show up in South Stone Town?

They had no choice but to stay and handle this matter.

Jiang Ting, who had just come down from the carriage after finishing her dinner in the carriage, noticed the serious expressions on everyone as they exited the inn, causing her to feel puzzled.

“What happened?”

She pulled Yun Qianxue aside and asked.

“Remnants of the Demon Sect attempted to poison the Senior Brother!”

Yun Qianxue briefly explained the situation to Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting gasped in surprise and rushed into the inn, heading up to the second floor lounge.

When she saw Xiao Yang sitting at the table, drinking, her heart felt relieved.

She stepped beside Xiao Yang and looked at the large hole corroded into the floor, nervously saying, “Senior Brother, are you okay?”

“What are you doing here? Don’t you need to tend to your pitiful little junior brother?”

Xiao Yang didn’t even glance at Jiang Ting, speaking in an aloof tone.

“Senior Brother, I’m just concerned about you. Do you have to talk to me like that?”

Jiang Ting retorted angrily.

“I don’t need your concern; you should focus on your little junior brother who might be a eunuch now!”

Xiao Yang replied indifferently.

“Are you still jealous?”

“When did you become so petty? You’re really driving me crazy. I’m done with you.”

Jiang Ting stomped her foot and turned to leave in a huff.

“Bro, how can you be so heartless? Little Fei’s injured, and if he doesn’t heal, he’ll become a eunuch. Only Sister Jiang can comfort him. Are you really jealous over something so silly?”

Xiao Yue criticized.

“I don’t lack compassion. You have compassion? Wait until he buys you off; we’ll see if you still sympathize with him.”

Xiao Yang replied coldly.

In his previous life, Qin Fei destroyed the Qingyang Sword Sect and obliterated the Xiao Family.

Their parents had been burned alive by Qin Fei.

And his sister’s cultivation had been destroyed and sold to a brothel by Qin Fei.

Sister, sister, you sympathize with him now, but he wouldn’t show you any sympathy.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing, then raised his cup and gulped it down.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Little Fei is so good to me, how could he do this to me?”

Xiao Yue shouted angrily.

“Rebel son, stop trying to sow discord here.”

Xiao Zhenshan scolded.

“Yang’er, we know what kind of person Little Fei is. He’s sensible and obedient. You should stop targeting him.”

Their mother, Chen Ruolan, advised.

Xiao Yang was at a loss for words—what could he say?

“Let’s go, we’ll arrange a place to stay.”

Xiao Zhenshan said as he led his wife and daughter out of the second floor lounge.

Finally, some peace and quiet.

“Holy Son Big Brother, this fish is delicious! If you don’t eat it, I’m going to finish it all!”

Lin Wangchuan reached for the braised golden thread carp on the table.

Xiao Yang recalled that near South Stone Town was a cold pond, and that golden thread carp was a type of spirit fish that was tough to catch.

Who would have thought that Pang Hu managed to bring two golden thread carps?

Looks like Pang Hu put a lot of effort into hosting them!

What a waste of the food on the Law Enforcement Elder’s table.

“You can eat it; I’m full!”

Xiao Yang waved his hand.

In his last life, he’d roamed the Northern Region for a thousand years, and his cultivation had even broken through to the Sacred Martial Realm; he had tasted all manner of delicacies.

“Haha, then I’ll dig in!”

Lin Wangchuan said as he began to devour the braised golden thread carp.

At that moment, in the inn’s front courtyard.

Qin Fei lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down from the cart.

South Stone Town had fallen into chaos.

News of the remnants of the Demon Sect appearing in South Stone Town had spread like wildfire.

The Law Enforcement Elder was in the midst of ordering everyone to secure South Stone Town.

“Xiao Yang, this time you’re lucky, but your luck won’t last!”

Qin Fei gazed at the inn’s second floor, able to spot Xiao Yang’s figure through the open window.

He fixed his icy, vengeful gaze on Xiao Yang’s back.

“Xiao Yang, you will definitely die by my hand.”

Qin Fei clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white.
