Chapter 126: Shocking Secrets

Inside Ghost Mist Gorge, in a cave.

Two guards from the Demon Sect actually intended to do something to Jiang Ting.

Outside the cave, Xiao Yang, lurking behind a large rock, put on a dragon-patterned mask.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, Jiang Ting was crying her heart out in fear.

She was a sheltered flower, overly protected by everyone.

When had she ever faced such a situation?

She would rather die than let those two scum from the Demon Sect ruin her purity.

Xiao Yang couldn’t just stand by and watch Jiang Ting be violated by these two remnants of the Demon Sect.

He was about to step out of the shadows.

“What the hell are you doing?!”

At that moment, a loud shout rang out.

A shadow rushed into the cave.

The figure grabbed the two remnants of the Demon Sect and tossed them aside.

The two remnants slammed hard against the cave wall, then fell to the ground, unable to get up.

“How dare you touch her? You’re asking for death!”

The newcomer yelled at the two trembling guys on the ground.

“Is it him?”

Xiao Yang recognized the voice.

The one who escaped from Black Wind City was Ming He.

“Yes, yes, yes, we were wrong, my lord!” the two remnants stammered, terrified.

“If there’s a next time, I’ll show no mercy!” Ming He said coldly.

“Rest assured, my lord, we will never do it again…” the two remnants said, trembling.

However, at that moment, a chilling wind unexpectedly swept through the cave.

A shadow silently appeared inside.

“Yin Yue, you’re here too?” Ming He was taken aback, a bit surprised to see her.

Yin Yue ignored Ming He entirely.

She stepped forward, separating her hands, and grabbed the two remnants by their heavenly covers.

“No, spare me…”

“Please don’t kill me…”

The two remnants were horrified.

But in the next moment, Yin Yue began to channel her magical powers, devouring the powers of the two remnants.

Soon, they were drained of all their strength, becoming two lifeless husks.

“Whoosh!”

Yin Yue exhaled a cloud of foul air.

“Yin Yue, have you lost your mind? They’re from the Li family!”

Ming He fumed.

“So what? They deserve to die!” Yin Yue replied nonchalantly.

“If you won’t kill them, I will!” Yin Yue added.

“You…”

Ming He was infuriated.

“It’s you…”

At this moment, Jiang Ting recognized Ming He and Yin Yue.

“What do you both want?” she asked, both shocked and angry.

She could never have imagined that all this was part of Qin Fei’s plan, using her against Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang had not made a move, quietly retreating into the shadows.

Ming He and Yin Yue were both trusted subordinates of Qin Fei.

They wouldn’t harm Jiang Ting.

“Miss Jiang, please rest for a moment!” Yin Yue said, waving her right hand, releasing a faint, fragrant mist.

Jiang Ting immediately fainted.

Outside the cave, more people arrived.

“How dare you kill my people?” a cold voice echoed from outside.

A figure strode into the cave.

“Li Gaitian?” Ming He and Yin Yue were both startled.

Meanwhile, hiding beside the cave, Xiao Yang was even more shocked.

The newcomer was Li Gaitian.

The lord of Nine Heavens City, Li Gaitian, was actually a member of the Demon Sect.

Li Gaitian, what a master of disguise he is.

He’s known for his righteousness, a hero in the North, and the vice-master of the Twelve Directions Sect.

Who would’ve thought this paragon of virtue was actually a deep cover agent for the Demon Sect?

This man also shared the surname Li.

Is Li Gaitian from the Li family of the Demon Sect?

In the last life, Qin Fei opened the seal of the Demon Abyss, releasing the demons trapped deep within.

At the same time, those undercover agents from the Demon Sect in the North switched sides.

Xiao Yang remembered that Li Gaitian had once stood up to fight the Demon Sect to the death.

It seems like all of that was an act.

Who would have thought that the lord of Nine Heavens City and the vice-master of the Twelve Directions Sect was a mole for the Demon Sect?

What happens next, Xiao Yang didn’t know.

Because he had the final confrontation with Qin Fei on Qingyang Mountain, and in the end, Jiang Ting, in a desperate bid to protect Qin Fei, was stabbed through the heart by him, tragically dying at his hands.

Xiao Yang never would have imagined he would accidentally uncover such a shocking secret.

He then recalled his past experiences in Nine Heavens City.

In the last life, a master from the Demon Sect had infiltrated Nine Heavens City, intending to assassinate him.

Back then, he was puzzled as to how the Demon Sect master had gotten into Nine Heavens City.

Turns out the lord of Nine Heavens City was actually a spy for the Demon Sect.

Xiao Yang finally understood everything.

That’s just great.

Li Gaitian, this time, I will definitely expose your true identity.

“What about my nephew?”

At that moment, Li Gaitian’s voice echoed through the cave.

“The Young Master is where he should be,” Ming He replied, his expression grave as he looked at Li Gaitian.

“Just my foolish brother fooling around with Qin Fei, ending up dead in Tianshui City with his bones scattered. I’m not like Li Kuang; I won’t play these pointless games,” Li Gaitian said coldly.

Hearing such explosive secrets, even though Xiao Yang had ruled the North for a thousand years in his past life, he couldn’t help but be moved.

Li Gaitian was actually also Qin Fei’s uncle?

“The Young Master said that if you kill Xiao Yang, it will be considered a favor returned,” Ming He said cautiously.

“You killed my people and want me to do your bidding?” Li Gaitian’s voice chilled.

“These two are more trouble than they’re worth, just kill them,” Yin Yue said dismissively.

“Hmph!”

Li Gaitian extended his right hand and shot a palm strike toward Yin Yue.

Yin Yue was taken aback, not expecting Li Gaitian to suddenly attack her.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, Yin Yue was sent flying, crashing into the cave wall.

The entire cave shook violently, and dust fell from the ceiling.

“Just that?” Li Gaitian laughed derisively.

“This…”

Ming He’s heart sank in shock.

Li Gaitian was probably on the brink of reaching a new level of power.

Li Gaitian turned and walked outside the cave.

“I will kill Xiao Yang. From now on, Qin Fei’s affairs have nothing to do with me,” Li Gaitian’s voice drifted out of the cave.

Ming He hurriedly rushed out of the cave.

Li Gaitian’s figure had already vanished.

Xiao Yang, hidden nearby, silently watched and listened.

It seemed that the relationship between Qin Fei and his uncle wasn’t all that great either.

Inside the Demon Sect, it didn’t seem rock solid either.

But now, Li Gaitian actually wanted to kill him.

This was no small matter.

After all, Li Gaitian was on the verge of a breakthrough to saint-level strength.

Facing Li Gaitian, the outcome was uncertain.

Even with help from two Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts, it might be tough to gain an advantage.

This was becoming a problem.

He certainly hadn’t expected that Qin Fei could summon a powerhouse like Li Gaitian.

And he never would have guessed that someone with Li Gaitian’s status would dare to take such a risk.

Right now, Li Gaitian was the lord of Nine Heavens City and also the vice-master of the Twelve Directions Sect.

If his undercover identity was exposed, everything he had painstakingly built would crumble in an instant.

He would become the public enemy of the entire North.

He would have no place to stand in the North anymore.
