Chapter 298

Chapter 298: I’ll Give You a Chance—Get Your People and Scram!

In the Northern Region’s most notorious place, the Demon Abyss, lies a hidden threat to the entire Northern Region and even the whole Yuanwu Continent.

This place seals ancient demon clans.

Besides the ancient demons, countless demonic creatures are also frozen here.

Once these creatures are released by the Demon Sect, it will spell disaster for all beings in the Northern Region.

Xiao Yang remembers that in his last life, Qin Fei was the one who unleashed countless monsters from the Demon Abyss, turning the Northern Region into a hellscape.

In that life, Qin Fei led an army of demons to storm the Qingyang Sword Sect, leaving no one alive.

These beasts carry demonic poison.

If you’re contaminated by the poison, there’s a danger of turning into a demon yourself.

For now, Qin Fei wouldn’t release the creatures sealed in the Abyss.

Because he hasn’t obtained the Qingyang Sword yet.

He needs to gather all three legendary swords to break the seal on the Abyss.

Having lived again, Xiao Yang is naturally aware of Qin Fei’s intentions.

Only when Qin Fei has all three legendary swords from the Northern Region, without any concerns, will he unleash those frozen creatures.

However, if Qin Fei finds out his cultivation hasn’t disappeared, he’ll be more cautious.

Xiao Yang isn’t worried about Qin Fei leaking the news that his cultivation is intact.

Because no one would believe him.

After all, during the Great Competition, he self-destructed his Dantian to defeat the Holy Maiden Li Xingyao in front of everyone!

Self-destructing the Dantian and losing one’s cultivation is common knowledge in the cultivation world.

Now, tides have turned.

In the last life, no one believed Xiao Yang.

He claimed Qin Fei was the Demon Sect’s young lord, an undercover agent sent by the Demon Sect, and everyone said he was just envious and slandering Qin Fei.

Everyone believed in Qin Fei, nobody believed in Xiao Yang.

But now, the tables have turned—no one would believe in Qin Fei.

Both Qin Fei and Jiang Qitian have lost their reputation in the Qingyang Sword Sect’s ceremony.

Jiang Qitian and Qin Fei, the hypocritical master and disciple.

While they won’t be completely disgraced,

their reputation has certainly taken a hit.

Now, Xiao Yang holds evidence that could ruin Jiang Qitian completely.

Once the Qingyang Sword Sect holds the initiation ceremony for new disciples, and all the big shots from the Northern Region gather, he’ll reveal this major scandal publicly.

He wants Jiang Qitian to be utterly disgraced.

He wants Jiang Qitian to pay the price.

Xiao Yang came back to his senses.

At this moment, Liu Qingyun walked over.

He was stunned, staring at the black blood on the ground.

The hard floor tiles were corroded into a deep pit by this blood.

“Senior Brother, you should have someone clean this up. I’m heading down the mountain to take a look.”

Without waiting for Liu Qingyun to respond, Xiao Yang took a quick step and instantly vanished.

Leaving Liu Qingyun standing there, bewildered.

Xiao Yang soon appeared in the mountains outside Qingyun Mountain.

Before long, he located the place where Qin Fei had previously hidden.

The tree still emitted traces of demonic energy.

Qin Fei possessed an Innate Dao Body and practiced both immortal and demonic arts; he probably has an incredibly powerful treasure that conceals the traces of his demonic techniques.

Otherwise, there’s no way Qin Fei could enter the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

“The Demon Sect’s young lord is indeed exceptional!” Xiao Yang remarked coldly.

He felt no regret for losing in his last life.

Qin Fei had the support of the Demon Sect behind him.

While he had to rely solely on himself.

In his previous life, even his master Jiang Qitian merely treated him as a pawn—useful until discarded.

Xiao Zhenshan and the others only saw him as an offering of cultivation resources.

In his last life, standing alone, how could he fight against Qin Fei?

But this time is different.

He is no longer fighting alone.

In this life, he intends to establish his own power.

Qin Fei has fled.

This was within Xiao Yang’s expectations.

That cunning fellow, Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang returned to Qingyun Mountain.

He continued to study the Wujidan Canon.

Meanwhile, Qin Fei returned to the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Soon, the Qingyang Sword Sect will hold the master-accepting ceremony.

The invitations for notable figures across the Northern Region have already been sent out.

This time, the Qingyang Sword Sect didn’t send Xiao Yang an invitation.

They’re afraid he would cause trouble again.

Last time at the Holy Son’s consecration, Xiao Yang had brought disgrace upon the entire sect.

How would they dare send him an invitation?

Just days after Xiao Yang returned, City Lord Zhao Rufen sent someone up the mountain.

Turns out, Xiao Zhenshan and his family had returned to Qingyun City.

And they planned to settle down in Qingyun City, not going back to Yuanlong City.

“It’s their freedom where they want to go. They no longer need to inform me of their affairs in the future.”

Xiao Yang instructed the messenger to convey this to Zhao Rufen.

That Xiao Zhenshan family’s fate of being homeless was something Xiao Yang had anticipated long ago.

Who is Qin Fei?

He is the young lord of the Demon Sect! For Xiao Zhenshan’s family, they held no value anymore.

So how could Qin Fei still give them a second glance?

Xiao Zhenshan’s family was directly discarded like trash by Qin Fei.

Their settling in Qingyun City to live a peaceful life is actually a decent ending.

After all, in his last life, their ending was incredibly tragic.

In his last life, Qin Fei burned Xiao Zhenshan and his wife alive.

Xiao Yue was directly crippled by Qin Fei and sold to a brothel.

Zhao Rufen, recognizing Xiao Yang’s influence, was quite considerate towards the Xiao family.

But Xiao Zhenshan seemed already disheartened, not joining the Zhao family, and instead purchased a courtyard in Qingyun City to reside in.

It seemed they genuinely wanted to lead the life of an ordinary person.

Xiao Yang would no longer involve himself in the Xiao family’s matters.

A few days later, in the secret realm of the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain.

Ling Xian’er exited her closed-door training.

Her cultivation had broken through to the Half Saint Realm.

Chen Taixu also finished his seclusion.

His cultivation had also reached the Half Saint Realm.

Nangong Hui was still in closed-door training.

However, she would only be a day late compared to Ling Xian’er and Chen Taixu.

With the help of the Breaking Realm Dan, she too broke through to the Half Saint Realm.

Qingyun Sect had suddenly gained three Half Saints.

Liu Qingyun’s smile hadn’t faded since their breakthrough.

He was genuinely thrilled!

The Qingyun Sect’s power had greatly increased.

Yeah, it’s time to reclaim what belongs to them.

The Qingyun Sect is currently the seventh sect in the Northern Region.

According to the rules of the Great Competition, a radius of one thousand miles centered on the Qingyun Sect is their territory.

Besides these designated territories, as long as Qingyun Sect has the strength, they can expand and conquer more lands.

In the Northern Region, the various sects are like small countries, each with their own fixed territories, but they can also expand.

Funiu Mountain Spirit Stone Mine is under the control of the Refining Sect.

Lingyun City is controlled by the Dan Ding Sect.

Bailing Valley is occupied by the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

And Panlong Ridge is taken by the Divine Sword Manor.

The Tianfeng Forest has become the pasture for the Beast Control Manor, raising countless wild beasts.

Previously, the Qingyun Sect couldn’t reclaim these territories from those sects.

But now, it’s different.

These territories rightfully belonged to the Qingyun Sect.

It’s perfectly justified for Qingyun Sect to reclaim these lands, and no one would dare protest.

Of course, the Qingyun Sect must possess the strength to back it up.

The various sects had bullied the Qingyun Sect because of its weakness and lack of support, allowing them to seize Qingyun Sect’s lands.

Inside the Qingyun Sect’s main hall.

Liu Qingyun sat on the central throne.

“Junior Brother, which territory should we reclaim first?”

Liu Qingyun looked over to Xiao Yang seated on the left.

“Let’s reclaim Bailing Valley first!”

Xiao Yang replied without a second thought.

As long as it belonged to the Qingyun Sect, he intended to take it back.

But Bailing Valley is a place where spiritual herbs are planted.

Bailing Valley has plenty of spiritual herbs.

Xiao Yang needs a lot of spiritual herbs for alchemy.

“Alright! Then we reclaim Bailing Valley first.”

Liu Qingyun nodded.

“Who will go to settle this?”

Liu Qingyun looked at everyone.

“I will go!” Ling Xian’er stepped forward.

“Why don’t I go?” Nangong Hui also offered.

“Bailing Valley has a Half Saint from the Guiyuan Martial Sect stationed there; it’s best for me to handle this!” Chen Taixu spoke up.

Xiao Yang looked at the three with a smirk.

He could see through their intentions easily.

With the help of the Breaking Realm Dan, they had all just broken through to the Half Saint Realm.

They were looking for someone to test their skills!

However, a Half Saint from Guiyuan Martial Sect was stationed in Bailing Valley.

They had only just stepped into the Half Saint level.

Could they compete against the Half Saint of Guiyuan Martial Sect?

“This…” Liu Qingyun looked troubled.

He turned to Xiao Yang, hesitating to speak.

“Then let’s all go together.” Xiao Yang smiled.

“Sure, let’s all go together!” Liu Qingyun agreed, thinking it would be safer with everyone together.

After all, a Half Saint from Guiyuan Martial Sect was stationed there.

They quickly set off.

Zhao Fan stayed behind to guard the sect.

Not long after, Xiao Yang and the others appeared on a mountain ridge outside Bailing Valley.

Ling Xian’er directly stepped forward to challenge.

“Get lost!”

The opponent replied with a single word.

What the—?

Ling Xian’er immediately unleashed an attack into the valley.

The power of her Taiyin Palm erupted.

The entire valley was coated in frost from the shockwave of the palm.

Especially those disciples from Guiyuan Martial Sect guarding the valley entrance—they turned into ice sculptures.

“A Half Saint?”

An incredulous voice came from within the valley.

A figure soon walked out.

“What? It’s you?”

The moment he saw Ling Xian’er, his face showed disbelief.

How long has it been? This girl’s cultivation had already broken through to Half Saint Realm?

He recognized Ling Xian’er.

She was the dark horse of the Great Competition.

How long after the competition ended had this girl reached Half Saint Realm?

Such a rate of cultivation is simply unheard of.

“I’ll give you a chance—take your people and scram, or these few will serve as an example.”

Ling Xian’er pointed at the few disciples from the Guiyuan Martial Sect who had turned into ice sculptures, saying coldly.

“Preposterous!”

The Half Saint from Guiyuan Martial Sect was furious.

This arrogant little girl dared to belittle him!

No Half Saint would stand for this insult.

How could this be?
