Chapter 58: Next Stop, Yuanlong City

Qin Fei wanted to annoy Xiao Yang using Jiang Ting.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yang couldn’t care less.

“It’s just a mirror, for talking and seeing each other’s faces. It consumes vital energy, what a useless thing, and you treat it like a treasure,” Xiao Yang scoffed.

He had to admit, Qin Fei was something else. The guy had just killed a relative and managed to calm down so fast.

“What?”

Qin Fei thought Xiao Yang would be furious, but instead, Xiao Yang didn’t seem bothered at all.

Normally, whenever it involved his junior sister Jiang Ting, he would blow up!

So what was going on now?

Could it be that he was acting indifferent to Jiang Ting while actually boiling with rage inside?

It had to be that.

Xiao Yang, oh Xiao Yang, so you’re playing this game now.

Qin Fei smugly thought he had figured out Xiao Yang’s tricks, and his pride swelled.

You killed You Ying, and I’ll make you feel what it’s like to lose family.

Qin Fei silently swore vengeance.

But Xiao Yang ignored Qin Fei and simply walked into the passage, leaving the place.

Qin Fei looked at You Ying’s corpse on the ground.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t want this…”

Qin Fei’s heart ached; this was his family!

I, Qin Fei, swear not to live as a human if I don’t kill Xiao Yang.

Qin Fei tightened his fists.

Gritting his teeth, he turned and left.

Meanwhile, outside the passage, Lei Renjie, Li Yunhu, Fang Ritian, Yun Qianxue, Song Qiang, Han Bin, Chu Haoran, Zheng Fan, Qi Xuan, and Lin Wangchuan all arrived.

There was also Pang Hu with a large group of external disciples from Qingyang Sword Sect keeping watch around.

As Xiao Yang and Qin Fei emerged from the underground ruins, Jiang Ting rushed over.

“Junior Brother, are you okay!”

Jiang Ting hurried to Qin Fei’s side, her face filled with worry.

She seemed to completely overlook Xiao Yang standing right next to Qin Fei.

All her attention was on Qin Fei.

In her eyes, there was only Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang chuckled. Seeing Jiang Ting so concerned for Qin Fei, he felt no anger anymore.

He walked away.

Jiang Ting pulled Qin Fei and prattled on.

Qin Fei watched Xiao Yang’s retreating figure, his expression icy.

Senior Brother, once we reach Yuanlong City, I’ll make you cry until you can’t cry anymore.

“Holy Son Brother, wait for me!”

Lin Wangchuan shouted and quickly chased after Xiao Yang.

“Senior Brother…”

Jiang Ting finally noticed Xiao Yang.

She looked at his back, her gaze complex.

Song Qiang also wanted to follow Xiao Yang, but he got called back by Second Senior Brother Zheng Fan and had to stay and help.

At this moment, the group sprung into action.

Lei Renjie and Li Yunhu led people directly into the passage.

The Law Enforcement Elder observed Xiao Yang’s departing figure thoughtfully.

Lin Wangchuan caught up to Xiao Yang.

“Holy Son Brother, what do you think this is?”

Lin Wangchuan proudly pulled out a thumb-sized pearl and showed it to Xiao Yang.

“What is this…”

Xiao Yang halted, sensing a faint aura from the pearl.

“Holy Son Brother, guess what it is?”

Lin Wangchuan puffed out his chest.

“Inner Core!”

Xiao Yang smiled; he had already guessed where this pearl came from.

“How did you know?”

Lin Wangchuan exclaimed.

“Found it inside that big fish, right?”

Xiao Yang chuckled.

“No way, how did you even know where I got this pearl?”

Lin Wangchuan stared at Xiao Yang, his eyes wide with shock.

“Zhi Zhi…”

Suddenly, a white shadow leaped out of a bag beside Lin Wangchuan.

“Purple-eyed Spirit Monkey?”

Upon seeing this little creature, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but chuckle; Lin Wangchuan had secretly brought the purple-eyed spirit monkey along.

The little guy jumped onto Lin Wangchuan’s shoulder and quickly snatched the inner core from his hand, tossing it into its mouth.

“Wait… Little White, you…”

Lin Wangchuan panicked.

That was the inner core of that fish spirit!

You can’t just eat that!

Lin Wangchuan reached to pry Little White’s mouth open.

“Bro, it’s fine, no need to worry!”

Xiao Yang hurriedly stopped him.

This little one was a purple-eyed spirit monkey, it would be fine even if it ate the inner core of the Golden Silk Dragon Carp King.

In no time, the little guy looked a bit drowsy.

“Holy Son Brother, look, Little White isn’t feeling well!”

Little White swayed and nearly toppled off Lin Wangchuan’s shoulder.

Lin Wangchuan quickly cradled Little White in his arms.

“Holy Son Brother, Little White feels so hot!”

Lin Wangchuan said anxiously.

“He’s just absorbing the essence of the inner core, a nap will be fine; it’s a normal phenomenon, don’t worry.”

Xiao Yang glanced at Little White in Lin Wangchuan’s arms, slightly surprised; the little guy was special, needing only a little time to evolve.

“Really?”

Lin Wangchuan remained worried.

“Don’t worry, just put Little White back in the bag, let him sleep, and he’ll be fine.”

Xiao Yang reassured Lin Wangchuan.

He could see Lin Wangchuan really liked Little White.

Hearing this, Lin Wangchuan opened the bag and carefully placed Little White inside.

“Let’s go!”

Xiao Yang patted Lin Wangchuan’s shoulder.

The two returned to the Inn in South Stone Town.

Outside the inn were the figures of external disciples from Qingyang Sword Sect.

The atmosphere in South Stone Town felt tense.

“What happened?”

As they entered the inn, they bumped into Xiao Zhenshan, Xiao Yang’s father.

Xiao Yang ignored his father and simply passed by him.

“Unfilial son, I’m your father!”

Xiao Zhenshan roared.

Xiao Yang remained deaf to his father’s voice.

Lin Wangchuan followed closely behind him.

Xiao Yang wanted to use the Taiyin Dragon Pearl for his cultivation, so he headed straight to his room.

Lin Wangchuan got shooed back to his own room by Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang shut the door.

At this moment, the streets of South Stone Town were eerily quiet.

Besides the external disciples of Qingyang Sword Sect patrolling now and then, there were hardly any other figures in sight.

Xiao Yang sat cross-legged on the bed.

Xiao Zhenshan wasn’t wrong, he was indeed Xiao Yang’s father.

But this father had never liked him since he was a child.

He was weak and sickly growing up and was not favored by his parents.

His relationship with them wasn’t good.

In the entire Xiao family, only grandpa treated him the best.

Next stop was Yuanlong City.

Since grandpa had passed away, he seldom returned.

Xiao Yang’s mind conjured an image of a gentle old man.

Without grandpa, there wouldn’t be today’s Xiao Yang.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry, it’s been a long time since I visited you.”

Xiao Yang murmured.

“Yang’er, remember, only the strong can control their destiny.”

Grandpa’s voice lingered in his ears.

“In this life, I will become the strong master of my own destiny!”

Xiao Yang then took out the Taiyin Dragon Pearl.

He held the pearl in both hands, activating the Futian Sword Technique to absorb the essence within the pearl.

Soon, a chill of spiritual energy enveloped him.

The night passed without further incident.

The next day, morning came.

Xiao Yang opened his eyes and stood up.

To his surprise, he was covered in a thin layer of ice.

With a shake of his body, the ice shattered and fell away.

“Hmm, although my cultivation level hasn’t increased, my Sword Dao Vital Energy is much purer, and I’m showing signs of breaking through to the eleventh level in Sword Intent.”

Xiao Yang put away the Taiyin Dragon Pearl; this treasure indeed accelerated his cultivation speed significantly.

As soon as he got off the bed, a knock on the door sounded.

“Senior Brother, it’s me, Song Qiang. We’re ready to set off.”

Song Qiang’s voice rang from outside the door.

“Got it!”

Xiao Yang replied.

Finally, it was time to head back to Yuanlong City.

Qin Fei had dug a big pit for him in Yuanlong City.

By now, the Xiao family had been driven out of Yuanlong City by the returning Liu family.

And the Liu family had the Guiyuan Martial Sect backing them.

But so what?

Xiao Yang wouldn’t care about the Xiao family’s matters anymore.

It’d be best if the Liu family and Guiyuan Martial Sect didn’t come to provoke him.

Xiao Yang didn’t care who they were; if people didn’t offend him, he wouldn’t offend them.

But if they dared to offend him, he would kill them.

Xiao Yang’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
