Xiao Yang never expected that the mysterious and unpredictable Northern Border Demon Clan would actually show up in Yuanlong City.
Why are they here?
Xiao Yang was very curious.
You see, in his previous life, the Northern Border Demon Clan only appeared when the Demon Sect opened the Demon Abyss seal.
But in this life, the Northern Border Demon Clan has come out way earlier?
Regardless of the reason behind their appearance, Xiao Yang definitely wouldn’t let these guys go.
The Northern Border Demon Clan is the public enemy of all forces in the Northern Border.
Of course, except for the Demon Sect.
In fact, the strength of the Northern Border Demon Clan was even above the Demon Sect.
However, in his previous life, those demons from the Northern Border rarely made a move.
At this moment, Xiao Yang waved his sword finger and directly slashed at the Black-Clothed Leader.
In an instant, the Black-Clothed Leader vanished into thin air.
But the next moment, he silently appeared behind Xiao Yang.
Everyone gasped at this sight.
Zhao Fan was shocked and wanted to warn Xiao Yang, but it was already too late.
Because the Black-Clothed Leader had lifted his Crimson Flame Demon Blade and swung it down fiercely towards Xiao Yang’s head.
At the same time, Xiao Yang’s body trembled, and a surge of Futian Sword Qi instantly enveloped him, creating a metallic sheen on his skin.
“Clang!”
Under everyone’s astonished gaze, the Black-Clothed Leader’s strike came crashing down onto Xiao Yang’s head.
“You’re still not dead?”
The Black-Clothed Leader sneered.
However, the next moment, he felt a violent jolt in his hand, and the Demon Blade almost slipped from his grip as excruciating pain shot up from his hand.
That mighty strike felt like he was chopping against an indestructible divine iron, and there was no splash of blood at all.
“How is this possible…?”
The Black-Clothed Leader was dumbfounded.
And at that moment, Xiao Yang had already reversed his hand and pointed at the Black-Clothed Leader’s forehead.
“…”
The Black-Clothed Leader’s heart trembled.
Before he could process a single thought, a sword light had instantly pierced through his forehead, bursting out the back of his skull.
The Black-Clothed Leader plummeted from the sky.
“Bang!”
The Black-Clothed Leader crashed heavily onto the ground.
Very soon, a trickle of demon blood seeped from the wound on the back of his head and flowed into the earth.
“What…”
No one had expected this masked mysterious figure to be so powerful.
He could take a hit from the Demon Blade and then flip around to kill the Black-Clothed Leader with a single finger.
Ling Xian’er, Long Chen, and the others didn’t realize that this masked figure was Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang didn’t want to expose his true cultivation and combat power too early.
This was his trump card.
If he revealed his cultivation before everyone, his surprise attack would no longer be a secret.
He didn’t mind letting Qin Fei and Gui Tian know his real strength.
Because it was deeply ingrained in everyone’s mind that he had self-destructed his dantian and become a waste.
No one would believe Qin Fei and Gui Tian’s words.
Xiao Yang descended from the sky.
He searched the body of the Black-Clothed Leader and took off a spatial ring from his hand.
Opening the ring, a wave of demon qi hit him right in the face.
Inside the ring were mostly cultivation resources for demon cultivators.
There were demon blood stones, demon spirit jade, demon spirit crystals, various demon medicines nurtured in the Demon Abyss, and all kinds of magic iron used to craft demonic artifacts.
For demon cultivators, these were coveted cultivation resources.
But for righteous practitioners, they were deadly poisons.
However, for Xiao Yang, the demon clan’s cultivation resources were also treasures.
Just because others couldn’t refine these resources doesn’t mean he couldn’t.
His martial body had already transformed into the Chaos Futian Sacred Body, allowing him to refine all spiritual energy in the world, including these demon-infused cultivation resources into his own use.
He stored the spatial ring, then picked up the Crimson Flame Demon Blade that had fallen to the ground.
This blade was quite impressive; if it could be tempered in the Magic Blood Pool for a few more years, that one strike might have cleaved his head in two.
Of course, in front of the Futian Sword, this Demon Blade was far from enough.
Xiao Yang glanced at Zhao Fan and the others, then soared into the sky, disappearing beneath the moonlit night.
“Just like that, he left?”
Xiao Zhenshan’s family was completely stunned.
With the Black-Clothed Leader taken down by Xiao Yang, the grand spectacle in Yuanlong City came to an end.
Chu Guiyuan was captured again by his younger brother, Chu Guixi.
And Chu Yuan, the guy who thought he was a genius, ended up in misfortune as well.
Liu Ruxian surprisingly escaped again.
But Liu Ruxian no longer posed a significant threat to the Xiao Family.
Because Liu Ruxian’s dantian had been destroyed by Zhao Fan, rendering her a waste.
Xiao Yang hadn’t truly left Yuanlong City.
He was setting up a formation in the city.
By morning, a grand formation that enveloped the entire Yuanlong City had been completed.
Xiao Yang felt his formation mastery had significantly improved.
This was a formation strong enough to block the attacks of a Divine Martial Realm powerhouse.
Yuanlong City was just a small city.
No big shot would have their eyes on this small place.
Divine Martial Realm powerhouses wouldn’t bother exerting effort to break the city’s protective formation.
Once everything was set, Xiao Yang sought out Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan, Ling Xian’er, Long Chen, and the others had already sent Xiao Zhenshan’s family back to the Xiao Family ancestral home in Yuanlong City.
“Give this formation disk and this booklet to Xiao Zhenshan. Tell him that I’ve been extremely generous to them; from now on, their life and death have nothing to do with me. Even if they die before my eyes, I won’t bother to save them again.”
As Xiao Yang spoke, he handed the formation disk and the booklet to Zhao Fan.
The booklet contained the method to control the formation.
Even though the Xiao Family had been crippled by Liu Ruxian, with this formation disk and the Divine Martial Realm-level formation set by Xiao Yang, they could live a comfortable life in Yuanlong City.
“Master, this…”
Zhao Fan truly couldn’t understand why the Master still helped the Xiao Zhenshan family.
The Xiao Zhenshan family had treated Xiao Yang too poorly.
They treated their adopted son so well, yet only knew how to drain Xiao Yang.
“Go! We’ll meet outside the city and then return to the mountain,” Xiao Yang patted Zhao Fan’s shoulder and said.
“Yes, Master!”
Zhao Fan replied as he took the formation disk and booklet to find Xiao Zhenshan.
……
Inside the Xiao Family ancestral home.
“This ungrateful wretch…”
Xiao Zhenshan took the formation disk and booklet from Zhao Fan, feeling incredibly heavy-hearted.
After hearing Xiao Yang’s words for Zhao Fan to relay to them, they truly regretted to the bone.
They knew they could never make amends with Xiao Yang.
They had really broken his heart!
“Yang’er… sigh!”
Chen Ruolan’s eyes turned red.
Regret, she truly regretted not treating Xiao Yang better.
Otherwise, their Xiao Family would have been flourishing long ago.
Now, Qingyun Sect was a perfect example of that.
How long has it been since Xiao Yang joined Qingyun Sect?
Qingyun Sect already had so many top-notch experts at the Half Saint level.
Qingyun Sect’s strength had already undergone tremendous change.
If they could have gotten Xiao Yang’s support and leaned on Qingyun Sect, they could have thrived in the Northern Border cultivation world.
But that is now, and it’s all impossible.
From now on, they could only shrink back in Yuanlong City.
“Dad, Mom, will we never see big brother again?”
Tears welled up in Chu Yue’s eyes.
Xiao Zhenshan and Chen Ruolan remained silent.
Because they knew, from now on, they would be nothing more than strangers to Xiao Yang.
There are no regrets in this world.
Once Zhao Fan sorted everything out, he left Yuanlong City with Ling Xian’er, Long Chen, and the others.
……
Zhao Fan and the others exited Yuanlong City and met up with Xiao Yang, then headed straight back to the mountain.
“This guy…”
In the distant sky, a figure stared blankly at Xiao Yang’s disappearing back.
This person was Feng Xuan.
She had actually arrived in Yuanlong City a while back.
She witnessed everything Xiao Yang did in Yuanlong City.
The emergence of the Northern Border Demon Clan stirred something within her.
During the great calamity between the immortals and demons back then, the demon race was also affected.
It was the Celestial Race that united the human race, beast race, and other forces to expel the demon race back to the Demon Abyss and seal them within.
Feng Xuan did not reveal herself.
She rubbed her belly and then left.
She didn’t want Xiao Yang to know that after spending a night with him, she was now pregnant with his child.
This child would only belong to her, Feng Xuan.
……
At this moment, dark waves stirred in the Northern Border.
The Demon Sect was stirring.
Now that the Northern Border Demon Clan has resurfaced, Xiao Yang had a premonition that chaos was about to erupt in the Northern Border.
He needed to quickly refine the Enlightenment Pills to help Long Chen and the others break through to the Holy Realm.
With Qingyun Sect’s current strength, they would not be a match for those ancient relics.
Without a Holy Realm powerhouse to protect them, Qingyun Sect would truly be no match for the Demon Sect.
Before long, news of Qin Fei becoming the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect spread to Qingyun Mountain.
“This guy…”
Xiao Yang was taken aback upon hearing this news.
Jiang Qitian had fallen from grace and become a waste, yet Qin Fei actually managed to sit on the Sect Leader’s position of the Qingyang Sword Sect?
Qin Fei truly lived up to the title of the Demon Sect’s young master; what a skillful maneuver!
On that day atop Qingyang Mountain, Qin Fei took advantage of the chaos to grab the Qingyang Sword and Jiang Qitian.
Xiao Yang couldn’t believe that the next time he heard about Qin Fei, it would be news of him becoming the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect.
Having lived through a second life, he knew full well that Qin Fei joining Qingyang Sword Sect as an undercover agent had ulterior motives.
Qin Fei was after the Qingyang Sword, the sect’s treasured artifact!
Having secured the Qingyang Sword, why would he still want to be the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect?
“Could it be…?”
Xiao Yang thought of a possibility.
This guy wouldn’t be eyeing the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, would he?
If that’s the case, then Qin Fei’s ambitions were truly grand.
What kind of place was Yuanwu Immortal Domain?
How dare he set his sights on it?
Regardless of the situation, Qin Fei was now the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect.
With this new status, it wouldn’t be a hard task for him to get close to the Fuyiao Sword of the Fuyiao Sword Sect.
As long as they managed to get their hands on the Fuyiao Sword, they could open the seal of the Demon Abyss.
At that time, the ancient demon race sealed within the Demon Abyss would return to the world.
He mustn’t let him succeed.
Xiao Yang clenched his fists, his gaze unwaveringly firm.
