“It’s really Xiao Yang… He disabled my hands and feet!”
“It was Xiao Yang who threw me into that muddy pit…”
“It’s true! I’m not lying!”
Qin Fei was completely at his wit’s end.
No one believed what he was saying.
Be it the Transmission Elder Cang Xiao, Zheng Fan, Lei Renjie, or the other disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect, they all dismissed him.
They had witnessed Xiao Yang self-destruct his dantian with their own eyes.
A martial artist who self-destructs their dantian loses all their cultivation.
The dantian is the most vital part of a martial artist’s body.
If a martial artist’s dantian is harmed, it affects their entire cultivation.
If someone breaks a martial artist’s dantian, all their effort is wasted.
Not to mention self-destructing the dantian.
Xiao Yang, having self-destructed his dantian, had definitely become a cripple.
One has to wonder, how could a cripple possibly disable Qin Fei’s hands and feet?
This is basic knowledge in the martial world!
“Holy Son, what on earth happened to make you spout such nonsense?”
The Transmission Elder shook his head with a sigh.
“No… you all…”
Qin Fei was so furious that he coughed up a mouthful of old blood, nearly passing out.
“Holy Son…”
Everyone was shocked to see Qin Fei spitting blood.
“Shouldn’t we take the Holy Son back to the mountain?”
The Transmission Elder addressed the crowd.
“But…”
Everyone hesitated, as the smell emanating from Qin Fei was simply unbearable.
It made one want to vomit!
At this moment, someone brought over clean water to wash off the muck clinging to Qin Fei.
Zheng Fan stepped forward to carry Qin Fei.
Qin Fei was truly in a sorry state.
His hands and feet were broken.
In less than a month, it would be the grand ceremony for the three thousand new disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect!
The Transmission Elder’s face was grave.
It seemed someone couldn’t stand the Qingyang Sword Sect’s success and wanted to stir up trouble.
The Qingyang Sword Sect was currently on the rise.
Who would dare provoke them?
The Transmission Elder was furious.
The other disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect were equally angry.
You see, Qin Fei was now the Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect.
Qin Fei’s current status was a reflection of the sect’s reputation.
Humiliating Qin Fei meant humiliating the Qingyang Sword Sect.
Who was so bold?
Qin Fei claimed it was Xiao Yang’s doing.
But who would believe that?
No one trusted Qin Fei.
They could only head back to the mountain.
And the deal between the Qingyang Sword Sect and the Refining Sect came to a halt.
The more than one hundred spiritual herbs Qin Fei was carrying had been snatched away.
Xiao Yang wasn’t worried about Qin Fei blaming him.
Because truly, no one would believe Qin Fei.
And the outcome was just as Xiao Yang had speculated.
No one would believe that a cripple could possibly harm a Half Saint like Qin Fei.
News returned to the Qingyang Sword Sect.
“Bang!”
Inside the Qingyang Great Hall, Jiang Qitian, infuriated, smashed the armrest of his throne.
“This is outrageous!”
Jiang Qitian was furious.
How dare someone steal their Qingyang Sword Sect’s belongings? They must be tired of living!
He glanced at the stretcher carrying Qin Fei, a frown creasing his brow.
Since Qin Fei was brought in, a foul odor had seemingly pervaded the hall.
He heard that Qin Fei had been thrown into a muddy pit.
“Master, I’ve lost my spiritual herbs! I’m guilty!” Qin Fei cried.
He was really laying it on thick.
“Have you found out who did this?” Jiang Qitian seethed, a powerful aura emanating from him.
The elders in the hall were instantly filled with trepidation.
Jiang Qitian’s injuries had healed.
The might of a Half Saint is not something anyone can withstand.
“Master, it was Xiao Yang! It was definitely Xiao Yang!” Qin Fei insisted, unwilling to back down.
“Xiao Yang?” Jiang Qitian was taken aback.
He instinctively responded, “How is that possible?”
He didn’t believe it at all.
Xiao Yang had self-destructed his dantian, and even if he practiced body technique, he wouldn’t get very far.
In Jiang Qitian’s eyes, Xiao Yang could never be a match for Qin Fei.
Qin Fei was a Half Saint now.
Jiang Qitian was envy-ridden of Qin Fei.
An Innate Dao Body!
With the Innate Dao Body, Qin Fei’s cultivation speed was incredible beyond imagination.
Jiang Qitian relied on Breaking Realm Dan to break through to Half Saint.
But Qin Fei did it through hard work.
“Master, why don’t you believe your disciple?” Qin Fei had hoped Jiang Qitian would trust him, but it appeared Jiang Qitian was not convinced at all.
It’s no wonder no one believed Qin Fei.
How could a cripple defeat a Half Saint?
Not just Jiang Qitian, but everyone in the hall disbelieved him.
“Holy Son, stop spewing nonsense!” Jiang Qitian commanded sternly, his voice resounding throughout the hall.
“I’m not! Is it nonsense?” Qin Fei was about to go crazy.
Yet he managed to suppress the rage churning inside him.
Just as Xiao Yang had said, no one would believe him.
He finally understood Xiao Yang’s feelings.
Unable to voice his suffering, no one believed him.
Nobody would take his word for it.
He was forced to swallow his pride like broken teeth.
It was truly Xiao Yang who had broken his hands and feet and taken his spiritual herbs.
But no one believed it.
Telling the truth? No one believed him.
Qin Fei felt he was going insane.
“Someone, take the Holy Son away for treatment.”
Jiang Qitian gave Qin Fei a cold glance.
Immediately, someone stepped forward to carry Qin Fei away.
“Who on earth…?”
Jiang Qitian muttered to himself.
He could hardly imagine that what Qin Fei said was true.
…
After Xiao Yang returned to Qingyun Mountain, he only stayed for a day before heading back down.
He went down alone, without bringing anyone.
Because where he was headed was extremely dangerous.
One slip, and he could very well die there.
Xiao Yang intended to take a chance at Thunder Marsh.
Thunder Marsh, the third most dangerous place in the northern territory.
Xiao Yang wanted to see if he could obtain the Enlightenment Fruit there.
If he got the Enlightenment Fruit, he could refine the Enlightenment Pill.
Breaking Realm Dan couldn’t help a Half Saint breakthrough to the Holy Realm.
But Enlightenment Pills could aid Half Saints in achieving the Holy Realm.
It wasn’t long before Xiao Yang stood outside the entrance to Thunder Marsh.
He had donned a mask.
Before him lay a vast swamp.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking directly into Thunder Marsh.
The lightning bridged the heavens and the earth.
Even from a distance, Xiao Yang could still sense the overwhelming destructive aura emanating from Thunder Marsh.
Thunder and lightning are the might of Heaven and Earth.
Who could resist this power?
Not even a Holy Realm cultivator.
At that moment, several figures walked up from behind.
They were a group of young people.
“Huh?”
The leading young man in white didn’t expect anyone would dare to venture into Thunder Marsh. Upon seeing the masked Xiao Yang, he was taken aback.
Three men and two women, five martial artists.
Xiao Yang glanced at them, instantly gauging their strength.
The leader, a young man in white, had decent cultivation, standing at half a step into Divine Martial Realm.
The other four martial artists were in the Heavenly Martial Realm.
Seeing these five, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but frown.
From their clothing, it appeared they were children from cultivation families.
At the moment, he couldn’t figure out who they were.
“This brother, are you also here to venture into Thunder Marsh?” The young man in white asked Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang remained silent.
“Wearing a mask and acting mysterious.” Another young man scoffed.
He couldn’t sense any martial aura from Xiao Yang.
Thinking he was just an ordinary person.
“I’m Ye Hu from Beast Control Manor. I wonder if this brother would like to accompany us into Thunder Marsh?” The leading young man said to Xiao Yang.
“I say, Ye brother, why do you care about this guy?” A young man in purple sneered.
“Safety in numbers!” Ye Hu replied nonchalantly.
“This guy doesn’t even have a trace of martial aura. He is just an ordinary person. We don’t want such a burden.” A young woman in white expressed her disdain.
Xiao Yang still didn’t speak.
These people were merely self-important children of wealthy families.
He wouldn’t stoop to their level.
They dared to venture into Thunder Marsh? Didn’t they realize it was the third most dangerous place in the northern territory?
In Xiao Yang’s eyes, they were simply courting death.
Even Divine Martial Realm beings, not to mention Half Saints, wouldn’t dare to enter Thunder Marsh lightly.
At that moment, dark clouds gathered over Thunder Marsh, and lightning began to crackle in the sky.
A storm was clearly brewing.
Xiao Yang could even smell the moisture in the air.
Upon realizing that Xiao Yang wasn’t responding, Ye Hu simply ignored him.
They boldly stepped into Thunder Marsh.
Xiao Yang shook his head.
A thunderstorm was approaching; entering Thunder Marsh at this moment was akin to asking for death.
Xiao Yang didn’t rush into Thunder Marsh right away.
But those five young people were undeterred.
Xiao Yang wondered if he should remind them.
This was Thunder Marsh, not a place for idle strolls.
Entering at such a dangerous time would be suicidal.
Before long, Ye Hu and his group vanished into Thunder Marsh.
“Thunderpower…”
Suddenly, Xiao Yang recalled something and walked directly into Thunder Marsh.
He followed behind Ye Hu’s group.
Xiao Yang noticed that Ye Hu seemed quite familiar with Thunder Marsh as he deftly avoided several dangers, moving safely to a small hill.
The area was submerged in water, with small hills rising from the swamp.
“Rumble…”
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, crashing down onto the rocks of the small hill.
A massive boulder shattered into pieces upon impact.
This was the might of Heaven and Earth.
A skill sprang to mind for Xiao Yang.
This skill would allow him to harness thunderpower to temper his physique, making his body even stronger.
However, this technique was extremely perilous.
After all, this was the might of Heaven and Earth.
One misstep could lead to annihilation by thunder.
Xiao Yang was astonished that such a thought had cropped up in his mind.
Attracting heavenly thunder to refine his body?
How utterly insane!
But Xiao Yang was confident he could withstand it.
Still, he didn’t forget his purpose for venturing into Thunder Marsh.
The Enlightenment Fruit was located deep within Thunder Marsh on a small hill.
In his previous life, Xiao Yang had battled Qin Fei in Thunder Marsh, but in the end, Qin Fei had outsmarted him and took the Enlightenment Fruit.
In this life, there was no Qin Fei as he had been left crippled by Xiao Yang.
Qin Fei could not contest him for the Enlightenment Fruit this time.
This time, he must obtain the Enlightenment Fruit.
