Chapter 247

Volume 1 Chapter 247: The Secret of Mo Hongyue

On Qingyun Mountain.

Xiao Yang set up layer upon layer of killing formations to completely seal off the mountain.

He wanted to ensure that anyone who aimed to kill him would have no chance of returning.

Having lived again, he possessed all the memories of his previous life.

The formations he created were naturally extraordinary.

This was the Ten Ultimate Kill Formation of Heaven Sealing and Earth Trapping.

He also drew upon the Earth Veins Spiritual Energy deep within Qingyun Mountain.

Even a supreme being from the Sacred Martial Realm wouldn’t be able to break this formation.

Moreover, to guarantee absolute security, he had the Ice-Bound Profound Flood Dragon guard the Earth Veins.

If anyone dared to sneak into the Earth Veins to cause trouble, they would be immediately detected by the Ice-Bound Profound Flood Dragon and dealt with on the spot.

The Ice-Bound Profound Flood Dragon was no longer the same as the previous Ice-Bound Profound Python.

Having transformed, the Ice-Bound Profound Flood Dragon was a genuine sacred beast.

Although it was only a level one sacred beast, it could stand toe-to-toe with a Martial Sage of the human race.

Thus, Xiao Yang never expected anyone could escape from Qingyun Mountain at this moment.

However, Mo Hongyue gave him a huge surprise.

Mo Hongyue actually managed to escape.

This left Xiao Yang dumbfounded.

This female demon actually got away.

What was the world coming to?

Xiao Yang immediately took out a mask and put it on.

It was not yet the time for him to reveal his true self to others.

“Boom!”

The元气 (Yuan energy) from Xiao Yang erupted like a volcano, bursting out of him.

A formidable pressure spread out in all directions, instantly enveloping the entire Qingyun Mountain.

“This…”

All the strong practitioners on Qingyun Mountain were gripped with fear under this overwhelming pressure.

“Wanna escape?”

Xiao Yang soared into the air, shooting straight up from Qingyun Mountain.

A vast, ocean-like oppressive force erupted from him, causing the sky above Qingyun Mountain to change dramatically as the sun and moon lost their light.

Countless strong practitioners nearby were left stunned by this scene.

“A Martial Sage?”

Jiang Qitian and other unseen bigwigs gazed up in shock at the figure in the sky.

This person was too powerful.

His pressure was world-shattering; even the old antiques had to be moved.

Everyone sensed an extreme danger radiating from this person.

“Can you escape? After I deal with Mo Hongyue, I’ll come back to wipe out these guys.”

Xiao Yang took a step forward and vanished into the void.

“That was fast!”

Even masters like Jiang Qitian couldn’t see how Xiao Yang left.

Those bigwigs hiding in the shadows were also left dumbfounded.

Xiao Yang released his divine sense, sensing the aura in the void, and directly chased after the direction Mo Hongyue had fled.

“Is that him?”

Jiang Qitian recognized the masked Xiao Yang.

He didn’t recognize Xiao Yang’s true appearance but remembered this masked supreme expert as the one who publicly slapped him in the face and humiliated him in the Earth Veins of Yuanlong City.

Recalling that scene, Jiang Qitian clenched his fists with rage, his eyes turning bloodshot.

This guy had turned him into a laughingstock!

What a tremendous humiliation!

“Alright, so you want to protect the Qingyun Sect, huh? Wait until I reach my peak martial state, I’ll level the Qingyun Sect to avenge this shame.”

Jiang Qitian gritted his teeth.

Meanwhile, those trapped on Qingyun Mountain began to break the formation.

At the same time, Mo Hongyue had already escaped thousands of miles away and darted directly into a remote primitive mountain range.

This was her secret base.

Mo Hongyue entered a valley.

Once inside, her tense nerves finally relaxed.

She collapsed onto the ground and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling incredibly weak.

The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique was really too domineering; if she had continued using it for a moment longer, she could have truly faced a backlash.

It was essentially a forbidden technique that put one’s life on the line.

Using such a forbidden technique inevitably took a toll on the practitioner.

Now, Mo Hongyue was severely drained; even if she called in experts to help her recover, it would take her several years to regain her peak state.

This time, she had really suffered a massive loss.

Who would have thought that not only did Xiao Yang not lose all his cultivation, but he actually made great progress?

“He self-destructed his dantian. Shouldn’t he have lost all his cultivation?”

Mo Hongyue found it hard to believe and was simply astonished.

What was happening with Xiao Yang was beyond her understanding.

Throughout history, no one had ever been able to cultivate again after self-destructing their dantian and qi sea.

A martial practitioner’s dantian and qi sea being destroyed meant they would lose all their cultivation and become disabled.

That was common knowledge in the cultivation world.

Even physical cultivators couldn’t refine their bodies without qi.

“Sis, what’s wrong?”

At that moment, a figure rushed out from the valley.

It was a girl in black.

The girl had an icy physique and delicate features, exuding a fragile aura, her face slightly pale.

She hurried to support Mo Hongyue.

“I’m fine…”

Mo Hongyue wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth.

“You spat blood and still say you’re fine? Sis, how about we drop our revenge?”

The girl’s eyes turned red, glistening with unshed tears.

“What are you saying?” Mo Hongyue glared at her sister, “The massacre of our family is an irreconcilable grudge. How could we not seek revenge?”

“But I don’t want you to die!”

The girl supported Mo Hongyue, choking on her words.

“Xueyao, remember this: our Yan family was destroyed by the Demon Sect. You must remember to avenge this. I, your sister, am willing to risk everything and join the Demon Sect to wipe them out entirely. If I die, you must go into hiding and live your life quietly, understand?”

Mo Hongyue looked sternly at the girl.

“Yes, sister, I understand.”

Yan Xueyao helped Mo Hongyue toward the valley.

But in the next moment, a figure suddenly dropped down in front of them, facing away.

“You…”

Mo Hongyue was alarmed.

She never expected someone to suddenly show up here.

After all, the entire valley was shrouded in formations; no one could silently infiltrate this place.

“Mo Hongyue, it’s time for you to die!”

Xiao Yang slowly turned around, wearing the mask.

“Who are you? Don’t you dare hurt my sister!”

Yan Xueyao immediately stepped forward, protecting Mo Hongyue behind her.

“Hm?”

Xiao Yang looked at the girl before him.

“No way, when did the Taiyin Sacred Body become so common?”

Xiao Yang immediately recognized the black-clad girl’s physique.

This girl was another Taiyin Sacred Body, just like Ling Xian’er.

What an unbelievable coincidence!

After all, the Taiyin Sacred Body was a rare reverse heaven-defying cultivation physique that appeared once every few hundred years in the Northern Region.

To have one was already extremely rare; to have two?

What was going on?

The Northern Region was now home to a second Taiyin Sacred Body.

“Xiao Yang? It’s you?”

Mo Hongyue glared at the masked figure.

Xiao Yang didn’t bother disguising his voice.

In this incredibly secretive valley, there was no need for him to hide his identity.

Mo Hongyue immediately recognized his voice.

“Humph!”

Xiao Yang removed the mask.

“How is this possible? How could you track me here?”

Mo Hongyue was both shocked and furious.

“There’s nothing impossible in this world.”

Xiao Yang looked coldly at Mo Hongyue.

“Alright, you can all go on your way. What a shame, but everyone from the Demon Sect must die today. I will snuff out this genius.”

Xiao Yang’s gaze fell on the black-clad girl.

A chilling killing intent radiated from him.

He wouldn’t spare Mo Hongyue, nor would he let this black-clad girl go.

In his previous life, he had been too hesitant, allowing Jiang Qitian, Qin Fei, and Jiang Ting to lead him around, playing with him like a puppet.

In this new life, he would not hesitate. Whatever needed to be killed would be done so decisively.

Xiao Yang was about to make his move.

“Wait! I’m not from the Demon Sect. My sister joined the Demon Sect for a reason; they have an irreconcilable grudge against us.”

Yan Xueyao hurriedly said.

“Hmm?”

Xiao Yang paused; he finally noticed that this black-clad girl didn’t emit a trace of demonic aura.

But he wouldn’t take her word so easily.

After all, Qin Fei also had no demonic aura on him, yet he was still the young master of the Demon Sect.

Yan Xueyao took out a piece of a jade pendant.

To be precise, it was half of a jade pendant.

Half of the jade pendant had a half-written character for “Yan.”

“We are from the Yan family of Snow Moon City.”

Yan Xueyao said gravely while looking at Xiao Yang.

“The Yan family of Snow Moon City?”

Xiao Yang was taken aback upon hearing this.

The Yan family?

Eighteen years ago, a major incident shook the Northern Region.

In a single night, Snow Moon City turned into a dead city, with everyone inside perishing.

The lord of Snow Moon City was the head of the Yan family, Yan Chongtian.

The Yan family didn’t escape the disaster either.

The legendary Snow Moon Spear Master Yan Chongtian was nailed to the city wall by his own spear.

Who could have killed him?

The entire Yan family was eradicated, leaving no survivors.

Who wiped out Snow Moon City’s Yan family?

Who annihilated the entire Snow Moon City?

No one knew.

This incident remained an unsolved mystery.

Some speculated that the Demon Sect was behind it.

But there was no evidence to prove it.

And the enemies of the Yan family also lacked the means to annihilate them, let alone wipe out Snow Moon City, which housed tens of thousands of people!

The destruction of Snow Moon City directly shocked the ten major sects.

Yet even the ten major sects of the Northern Region could find no clues.

As time passed, the incident faded from memory.

Xiao Yang never imagined he would encounter someone from the Yan family here.

“Who was Yan Chongtian to you?”

Xiao Yang asked coldly, aware that he would kill these two if they dared to deceive him.

“That was our father!”

Yan Xueyao replied heavily.

She was born during the catastrophic downfall of the Yan family.

Her sister Mo Hongyue had carried her out of Snow Moon City when she was just born.

“Was it the Demon Sect that destroyed Snow Moon City and the Yan family?”

Xiao Yang pondered.

This unsolved mystery was finally picking up some clarity.

Indeed, it was the Demon Sect.

“Do you think I will believe you?”

Xiao Yang suddenly chuckled, coldly observing Yan Xueyao.
