Chapter 356: Qin Fei: I’m the One Most Qualified to Be the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect

The intel was wrong; Xiao Yang is definitely not a waste.

As a result, the Black and White Impermanence of Smoke Rain Tower underestimated Xiao Yang and got taken down by him.

Now, this black-clad young man from the Demon Sect almost had his neck snapped by Xiao Yang too.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he’d likely be lying dead on the ground just like the Black and White Impermanence.

At this moment, the young man in black finally believed that the Black and White Impermanence had been killed by Xiao Yang.

Because even he had almost fallen victim.

From the gruesome appearance of the Black and White Impermanence, it was clear that Xiao Yang had snapped their necks before they had to self-destruct their core, letting their souls escape while abandoning their bodies to escape.

But there was no way they could have survived.

“I’m curious, didn’t you self-destruct your dantians? How can you still have such battle power?” The young man in black looked at Xiao Yang coldly.

“Want to know?” Xiao Yang replied with a mocking smile.

The young man nodded.

“Not telling you!” Xiao Yang grinned widely, then stomped his right foot on the ground.

“Bang!”

With a dull sound, he disappeared from the spot, creating a gust of wind that stirred up a cloud of dust.

The young man in black disappeared as well.

Xiao Yang’s figure instantly appeared where the young man had stood.

But the young man’s figure was now several meters away.

“Your movement technique is pretty quick!” Xiao Yang charged at the young man again.

Moving rapidly through the air, an ordinary martial artist wouldn’t even be able to see him.

But the black-clad young man wasn’t slow either.

The two began to duel in movement techniques outside the cave.

Their figures flashed quickly across the open ground outside the cave as they moved at high speed, creating gusts of wind that stirred up dust.

The area outside the cave was immediately filled with rolling dust and flying rocks.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, Xiao Yang exerted force and closed in on the young man, launching a punch.

The explosive force of his punch surged forward, clearing the dust in front of him.

The young man’s figure became visible.

Faced with Xiao Yang’s furious punch, the young man did not dare to let his guard down.

He turned and struck out with his palm, which instantly transformed into a dark gold color.

“Bang!”

The punch and palm collided.

Xiao Yang felt a powerful force transmit through the young man’s palm.

He staggered slightly, pausing for a moment.

Meanwhile, the young man took advantage of his punch’s momentum to quickly retreat, disappearing into the valley in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yang didn’t pursue.

Because he still needed to guard Zhao Fan.

“The Demon Sect’s body refining technique, the Undying Body of the Heaven Demon?” Xiao Yang said, looking gravely in the direction the young man had vanished.

The Undying Body of the Heaven Demon was indeed the ultimate body refinement technique of the Demon Sect.

This guy could withstand my punch; it looks like his mastery of the Undying Body is not to be underestimated.

Who on earth is this person?

Instinct told Xiao Yang that this individual would undoubtedly become a formidable enemy in the future.

The current generation of the Demon Sect really does have remarkable talents.

No wonder the major sects in the Northern Region suffered such a dreadful defeat in the previous life.

But even in the last life, Xiao Yang had no recollection of this person at all.

Could it be that this person only appeared after he was pierced through the heart by Qin Fei’s sword in the last life?

Xiao Yang returned to the cave entrance.

At that moment, a shadow landed in a valley several dozen miles away.

In the valley stood a middle-aged woman in black.

“Greetings, Second Young Master!” The middle-aged woman bowed to the newcomer.

This person was the same black-clad young man who had fought Xiao Yang earlier.

He turned out to be the Second Young Master of the Demon Sect.

“Have the Eldest and Third Young Masters arrived?” The young man in black asked casually.

“The Eldest Young Master is on his way, but the Third Young Master has returned to Qingyang Sword Sect,” the middle-aged woman reported cautiously.

“The Eldest and Third Young Masters actually teamed up; I didn’t expect that. But if they think teaming up will eliminate me, then they’re gravely mistaken,” the young man scoffed.

“With your Undying Body of the Heaven Demon approaching completion, how could the Eldest and Third Young Masters possibly be your match?” the middle-aged woman laughed.

“Do more work and flatter me less!” The young man in black replied blandly.

“Understood!” The middle-aged woman nodded obediently.

“The Third Young Master is rushing back to Qingyang Sword Sect; he surely aims to become the sect leader. The Eldest probably never imagined he’d be put in a tough spot by the Third,” the young man chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman’s expression turned puzzled.

Isn’t that guy named Xiao Yang just a waste?

Surely, with the Eldest Young Master Qin Huang stepping in, he could handle a mere waste?

She was well aware that the internal struggles within the Demon Sect were fierce.

The Third Young Master Qin Fei had the Li family backing him, while the Eldest had the Sect Leader’s support. Meanwhile, this Second Young Master, on the surface, appeared vulnerable and lacked any support.

However, she knew the strength of the Second Young Master.

His Undying Body of the Heaven Demon was nearing its peak; at that point, neither the Eldest nor Third Young Masters would be a match for him.

In the Demon Sect, the law of the jungle reigned—whoever is strong becomes the boss.

And the Second Young Master was currently playing the pig to eat the tiger.

The Eldest Young Master teaming up with the Third to eliminate the Second Young Master wouldn’t be an easy task.

“Let’s go!” The young man in black declared, shooting into the sky and leaving the area.

The middle-aged woman hurried after him.

Meanwhile, many strong practitioners began to enter the Northern Mountain.

But the Northern Mountain was vast, and finding Xiao Yang and Zhao Fan among the peaks was no easy feat.

Back in Yuanlong City, the Xiao family had already been secured by Ling Xian’er and Long Chen.

The people from Guiyuan Martial Sect would have to think twice before messing with Xiao Zhenshan and his group.

At this point, the Qingyun Sect was no longer the small sect it used to be.

Recently, quite a few impressive talents had emerged in the Qingyun Sect.

Especially the legendary figure from Qingyang Sword Sect, Chen Taixu, who had joined Qingyun Sect, greatly enhancing its strength.

That was Chen Taixu.

In his time, he was a swordsmanship genius who had astonished an entire era.

Had he not been schemed against, he would have long since claimed the position of sect leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Chen Taixu’s plight bore some similarity to Long Chen’s.

He managed to fare relatively well, while Long Chen had genuinely suffered at the hands of Jiang Qitian.

Now, with the arrival of the people from the Demon Sect, the situation in the Northern Mountain was becoming even more complicated.

The figure of the Eldest Young Master of the Demon Sect, Qin Huang, had appeared in the Northern Mountain.

This put the various sects in the Northern Region on high alert.

At this moment, however, Qin Fei had returned to the Qingyang Sword Sect.

He had really come back with the intention of becoming the sect leader of Qingyang Sword Sect.

As long as he became the sect leader, he would have the right to access all cultivation resources within the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

That’s the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, the number one sacred ground for cultivation in the Northern Region.

The cultivation resources within the Yuanwu Immortal Domain were enough to make even the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect envious.

If he could help the Demon Sect seize the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, wouldn’t the position of Sect Leader of the Demon Sect be his too?

Therefore, Qin Fei returned to Qingyang Sword Sect with Jiang Ting.

At this point, the Qingyang Sword Sect was without a leader.

The elders of Qingyang Sword Sect were gathering in the Qingyang Great Hall to decide who would temporarily take on the responsibilities of the sect leader.

At this time, many elders were eyeing the position of sect leader.

Ling Daochen and Lei Xuan were refusing to budge.

Many elders supported Ling Daochen, but some also supported Lei Xuan.

Just as the elders were locked in fierce arguments, Qin Fei and Jiang Ting arrived.

Qin Fei held the Qingyang Sword and marched directly into the Qingyang Great Hall.

“What are you all arguing about? The position of sect leader is mine!” Qin Fei declared with immense confidence.

At this moment, he no longer needed to pretend; he was finally showing his true colors.

The elders in the Qingyang Great Hall looked at Qin Fei in shock.

“Qin Fei, you’re just a junior! We’re in a meeting; what right do you have to stand here?” Lei Xuan shouted at Qin Fei.

“Haha… What? I have no right to be here?” Qin Fei stood in the center of the hall, casting a disdainful glance at the elders present.

“I am the Holy Son of the Sect, and now I hold the Qingyang Sword! You say I have no right to be here? Then who does?” Qin Fei exclaimed loudly.

“This…” The elders looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.

“Qin Fei, you should hand over the Qingyang Sword and leave!” Ling Daochen demanded.

“Uncle Master, are you confused or forgetful? I am the rightful heir to the position of sect leader!” Qin Fei snapped back at Ling Daochen.

“You…” Ling Daochen was infuriated at Qin Fei’s retort.

“And are you saying you all forget the sect rules?” Qin Fei slowly raised the Qingyang Sword in his hand.

“Qin Fei, you used despicable means to draw the Qingyang Sword, and you still dare to mention the sect rules in front of us?” Lei Xuan said coldly.

“Anyone who draws the Qingyang Sword becomes the sect leader!” Qin Fei didn’t care about all that.

Now that he held the Qingyang Sword, how could he not take the position of sect leader?

Thinking this, Qin Fei firmly gripped the hilt of the Qingyang Sword.

“This…” The elders all felt a chill in their hearts.

Is Qin Fei really going to draw the sword here?

Qin Fei was a Half Saint.

If he could pull out the Qingyang Sword, then no one here would be his opponent, even if they all teamed up!

The elders sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Qin Fei.

“Ha! Do you really think you can pull out the Qingyang Sword?” Lei Xuan scoffed.

Without the sword essence stone, Qin Fei wouldn’t be able to draw the Qingyang Sword at all.

The other elders quickly came to the same conclusion.

Qin Fei could pull out the Qingyang Sword back then because he had the sword essence stone with him.

Now, the sword essence stone was no longer on Qin Fei.

During the ceremony to confer the Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect, Chen Taixu had already taken the sword essence stone away.

“Do you really think I can’t pull out the Qingyang Sword without the sword essence stone?” Qin Fei sneered.

Jiang Ting had been silent on the side.

At this moment, she was regretting her choices deeply.

She never imagined that Qin Fei was actually the Young Master of the Demon Sect.

She shouldn’t have neglected Xiao Yang for Qin Fei.

But now it was too late to regret, her father was in the hands of the enemy.

Qin Fei was using her father to threaten her.

She could only obediently follow Qin Fei’s orders.

This time she returned to Qingyang Sword Sect with Qin Fei to help him secure the position of sect leader.

“Esteemed elders, my junior brother Qin Fei has already received the sect leader’s teachings; he is the one most qualified to sit upon the sect leader’s seat.” Jiang Ting stood up and declared loudly.
