Chapter 1: Disciple Xiao Yang, Kneels to Request the Sect to Abolish the Holy Son!

In the True Yang Sword Sect, inside the main hall.

A young man in white stood calmly.

Outside the hall, countless disciples peered in, eager to know what was happening inside.

“Xiao Yang, do you know your crime?”

A stern voice echoed throughout the hall.

“Senior Brother, the trouble you’ve caused this time is just too big; you should quickly apologize to Father!”

Xiao Yang’s little junior sister, Jiang Ting, anxiously tugged at his sleeve.

“Senior Brother, even though I don’t know why you wrongfully accused me of spying on the sect’s treasured martial arts, the True Yang Sword Classic, you are the sect’s Holy Son and a role model for all disciples. If you admit your mistake, I believe the Master and the elders will show you mercy.”

Qin Fei added from the side.

“Is that so?”

Xiao Yang calmly looked at Qin Fei.

He had been reborn, back to the day he was framed by his little junior brother Qin Fei.

In his previous life, faced with Qin Fei’s slander, he had been hysterical, desperately defending himself, accusing the Master of injustice, bemoaning his junior sister’s favoritism toward Qin Fei, and pointing out the other disciples’ bias.

In the end, not only did he fail to clear his name, but he was also punished to face the wall in the Reflection Cave for three months.

At that time, who could have guessed that this seemingly unfortunate, understanding, and clever Qin Fei, who was regarded as the chosen one by the sect, was actually the young master of the Demon Sect?

Qin Fei had joined the Qingyang Sword Sect for ten years, during which time he played the pity card, acted weak, and sought sympathy.

He successfully triggered everyone’s sympathy within the sect.

Gradually, resources started to tilt in his favor, and the Master taught him with care; his parents even adopted him as a son.

All the attention was on this chosen one, Qin Fei.

The Master gradually distanced himself from Xiao Yang; whenever there was something good, his parents thought of Qin Fei first, and Jiang Ting was glued to Qin Fei’s side, while his sister Xiao Yue only had eyes for her “adopted brother,” leaving her real brother behind.

Over the past ten years, Qin Fei sowed discord, stirring the pot, causing rifts in his relationships with the Master, fellow disciples, his junior sister, his parents, and his sister.

And now, Qin Fei finally showed his fangs.

This was just the beginning.

Qin Fei would eventually take everything that belonged to him.

Whether it was the position of Holy Son or his most beloved junior sister, as well as his parents and sister, this boy would snatch them all away one by one.

Who would have thought that this chosen one would, in the future, slaughter the world, breaking the seals of the magic abyss with the blood of countless beings, turning the entire world into a terrifying hell?

Memories of his last life surged in Xiao Yang’s mind.

That was his final battle with Qin Fei.

They fought for ten days and nights atop True Yang Peak.

Just as he was about to kill Qin Fei with a single strike, his junior sister Jiang Ting had rushed up without hesitation, standing in front of Qin Fei.

This was the woman he doted on all his life, and at that critical moment, she protected his enemy.

In that instant, his heart went cold, despair consuming him.

When he saw Qin Fei lunging at him with his sword, he suddenly didn’t want to dodge anymore.

Then, Qin Fei’s sword pierced through his heart.

Ironically, the sword in Qin Fei’s hand was the Supreme Sword of the True Yang Sword Sect, gifted to him by the Master, who once regarded him as a son.

That sacred sword of the sect should have been his!

And the divine armor Qin Fei wore was custom-made for him by his father, the head of the Xiao family, who paid a hefty sum to the Refining Sect’s masters.

This armor, which should have been worn by him, was handed to Qin Fei by his own parents.

The Breaking Realm Dan he had painstakingly obtained for Jiang Ting was handed to Qin Fei, allowing him to break through to the Sacred Martial Realm and finally giving him the power to fight against Xiao Yang.

It was his family, his closest kin, each one jostling to shove knives into Qin Fei’s hands; they all became Qin Fei’s accomplices.

Especially Jiang Ting.

She had, in the end, still chosen Qin Fei, blocking his sword with her life to protect Qin Fei.

They had completely shattered Xiao Yang’s heart.

In his previous life, as his soul faded, he saw Qin Fei wielding the True Yang Sword, rampaging through the True Yang Sword Sect.

The moment his junior sister was pierced by Qin Fei’s sword, her face was painted with disbelief.

When Master Jiang Qitian was drained of all his cultivation by Qin Fei, he died with his eyes wide open.

When his parents were burned to death by their seemingly obedient son Qin Fei, they sank into despair.

When his sister was sold into a brothel by Qin Fei, she begged him for mercy, groveling until her forehead bled, but Qin Fei accepted the money and coldly turned away.

Since he’d been given a second chance at life, he would let the world see how the “chosen one” butchered the world and witness who could stop this apocalypse.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang decided not to argue.

He looked at the sect leader Jiang Qitian above him and then glanced indifferently at the elders.

“I confess my sin!”

At this moment, the hall fell into a dead silence.

Even Qin Fei was momentarily stunned.

Because this was all part of his scheme to frame Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang unexpectedly did not defend himself and directly confessed.

“Good, as the sect’s Holy Son, Xiao Yang privately spied on the sect’s sword classic, falsely accused a fellow disciple, and violated sect rules. He should be severely punished. However, considering Xiao Yang’s contributions, and that he has made no serious mistakes before, he will be punished to reflect in the Reflection Cave for three months.”

Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie stepped forward, his authoritative voice booming in everyone’s ears.

Qin Fei maintained his composure on the outside, but inwardly he was unsatisfied.

The sect’s punishment for Xiao Yang was simply too lenient.

After ten years of effort, all Qin Fei gained was a mere three months of reflection for Xiao Yang?

“Senior Brother, since that’s the case, you should apologize to your junior brother. I believe he will forgive you, right, junior brother?”

Jiang Ting turned to Xiao Yang.

“Senior Sister, how could I dare let Senior Brother apologize to me?” Qin Fei weakly replied.

“You want me to apologize to him?” Xiao Yang looked at Jiang Ting in disbelief.

They had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, sharing a strong bond.

In the previous life, Xiao Yang had doted upon Jiang Ting to no end.

But childhood friendships couldn’t compete with fate.

No matter how well he treated his junior sister, when the moment of life and death came, she still chose Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang recalled the scene of being pierced by Qin Fei’s sword in his previous life, and his expression grew colder.

“You did something wrong; what’s wrong with apologizing to your junior brother? Isn’t that what you should do?” Jiang Ting snapped angrily.

“Senior Sister, I don’t know why Senior Brother accused me, but it must have been because I unknowingly offended him. It’s my fault; I think it’s best if there’s no need for him to apologize. Please don’t let this affect your relationship!”

Qin Fei said this while secretly reveling in delight.

He had long been stirring the pot between the two.

Xiao Yang ignored Qin Fei and coldly glared at Jiang Ting, saying nothing.

“Senior Brother, it’s magnanimous of your junior brother not to hold this against you, but you still owe him an apology.”

Jiang Ting’s tone was icy.

Although Xiao Yang no longer loved Jiang Ting in this lifetime, seeing her defend Qin Fei like this still made his heart twitch slightly.

“Law enforcement disciples, take Xiao Yang away!”

Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie waved his sleeve, declaring sternly.

Two law enforcement disciples stepped forward.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, Xiao Yang shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

“Disciple Xiao Yang kneels to request the sect to abolish the Holy Son!”

Xiao Yang suddenly knelt on one knee, then ripped the Holy Son token from his waist, holding it high above his head and shouting loudly.

“What?”

Everyone gasped in shock.

“Senior Brother, you…”

Junior sister Jiang Ting’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Xiao Yang.

The crowd of disciples outside the hall erupted in chaos.

The Senior Brother actually wanted to have the Holy Son deposed? Wasn’t that effectively taking himself down?

Even Qin Fei was dumbfounded.

He had worked so hard to pull Xiao Yang down from the Holy Son position, yet here’s Xiao Yang willingly requesting his own disposal?

Sect Leader Jiang Qitian suddenly stood up.

The elders present were also taken aback.

“What did you say, Xiao Yang?” Jiang Qitian stared at the kneeling Xiao Yang.

“Disciple Xiao Yang kneels to request the sect to abolish the Holy Son!”

Xiao Yang enunciated each word clearly.

The sect is doomed, the family is in shambles, why should I care about it?

I don’t want my junior sister anymore.

I don’t want my Master either.

I don’t care about my parents or family.

Do whatever you want.

In this second chance at life, I, the Holy Son of the True Yang Sword Sect, no longer wish to bear this title!
