Everyone was stunned.
Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting had actually been kidnapped.
“Leftover scum of the Demon Sect…”
The Transmission Elder glared at the dark hole on the ground, his temples throbbing as he almost exploded with rage.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The hole still emitted the remnants of the Demon Sect’s aura.
The sly scum had hidden underground and taken Jiang Ting away.
After all, she was Jiang Ting—the only daughter of Jiang Qitian, the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect.
Everyone knew how much Jiang Qitian cherished his daughter.
If Jiang Ting wanted the moon from the sky, Jiang Qitian would probably find a way to pluck it down from the Nine Heavens and give it to her.
Moreover, everyone in Qingyang Sword Sect adored this little junior sister.
Their Senior Brother Xiao Yang was especially fond of Jiang Ting to the extreme.
And now, Jiang Ting had been snatched away by the scum of the Demon Sect.
What a disaster!
No one dared to imagine how serious this was.
Even the Transmission Elder panicked.
“Little Junior Sister…”
Qin Fei pretended to be anxious and flustered.
In truth, this was all part of his plan.
“To rescue Jiang Ting, we must exchange her for Xiao Yang.”
In the dim gorge, a sinister voice echoed.
“Despicable rodents, why not face us openly in battle?”
The Transmission Elder roared.
A storm of sword qi erupted from him, dispersing the surrounding mist.
“Cackling…”
The eerie laughter quickly faded away.
“They’re after Senior Brother! Hurry, find Senior Brother!”
Qin Fei shouted in distress.
“Where are we supposed to find him now?”
Everyone was at a loss for what to do.
“This is all Senior Brother’s fault!” Han Bin complained.
“Yeah, if Senior Brother had returned the Heavenly Restoration Pill to Tang Chen, we wouldn’t even have to go to Nine Heavens City, and Little Junior Sister wouldn’t have been captured by the Demon Sect scum,” Zheng Fan sighed.
“What are you guys talking about? How is this Senior Brother’s fault?” Song Qiang couldn’t take it anymore; blaming Senior Brother was just too much.
“Yeah, what did Senior Brother do wrong?” Lin Wangchuan shot an angry glare at Zheng Fan and Han Bin.
“Enough!”
The Transmission Elder shouted.
Everyone looked at him, not expecting that the scum of the Demon Sect would dare to ambush them in Ghost Mist Gorge.
“Let’s exit the gorge and find your Senior Brother!”
The Transmission Elder said solemnly.
He intended to lead everyone on a training trip, but who knew this would happen?
Jiang Ting could not be harmed.
If anything happened to her, Jiang Qitian would probably go insane.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Xiao Yang, watching from the shadows, couldn’t help but smirk coldly.
They wanted to use him as a trade for Jiang Ting?
As expected, whether in this life or the last, he was meant to be the sacrificial one.
In his previous life, he would have traded his life to save Jiang Ting.
He truly loved her to bits then.
He would have done anything for her.
He was so humble before her.
For Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting, he would compromise, give in, and suffer any humiliation.
In his previous life, it wasn’t until he battled Qin Fei to the bitter end and Jiang Ting sacrificed herself to block his sword that he finally woke up.
To Jiang Ting, he would never measure up to Qin Fei.
In this new life, why should he humiliate himself again?
Why should he even care about Little Junior Sister?
In his previous life, it took him a millennium to warm Jiang Ting’s heart.
A thousand years! Even if her heart was made of ten-thousand-year-old ice, it should have melted by now.
Unfortunately, the distinction between love and indifference was massive.
At the moment Jiang Ting was captured by the scum of the Demon Sect, Xiao Yang didn’t act immediately.
Meanwhile, everyone exited the Ghost Mist Gorge under the guidance of the Transmission Elder.
No one knew how many scum members of the Demon Sect were lying in ambush inside the gorge.
The Transmission Elder didn’t want to take any risks.
He still had to lead the disciples to the Yuanwu Immortal Domain for the Decadal Competition.
Nothing was more important than participating in the Decadal Competition.
They absolutely couldn’t afford to miss it for Jiang Ting.
There were only seven days left until the competition.
With no other choice, the Transmission Elder sent a message back to the sect using his flying sword.
He also spread the news of Jiang Ting being kidnapped by the scum of the Demon Sect.
Everyone presumed Xiao Yang still had feelings for Little Junior Sister, despite their little spat, and believed he would come to rescue her upon hearing the news.
Before nightfall, a beam of sword light shot down from the sky, landing directly at the entrance of Ghost Mist Gorge.
As the sword light faded, an elder’s figure emerged.
It was Ling Daochen, a legendary swordsman from Qingyang Sword Sect, whom even the Transmission Elder called Master Uncle.
“I just got back, and before I could warm my seat, you sent a flying sword letter. You need to fix this mess; you’re utterly useless!”
Ling Daochen pointed a finger at the Transmission Elder, berating him.
With that, his ethereal appearance was completely shattered.
“This… Master Uncle, I had no choice. The scum of the Demon Sect is just too despicable,” the Transmission Elder replied, feeling helpless.
He didn’t dare to recklessly enter Ghost Mist Gorge to save Jiang Ting.
Who knew if the scum were using Jiang Ting as bait to lure him in and then attack the other disciples?
He truly had no choice but to send a letter back to the sect for help.
“Sigh, if only my dear martial nephew were still around…”
Ling Daochen suddenly sighed, his expression turning somber.
The Transmission Elder’s face grew serious, not daring to speak.
Everyone gathered to pay their respects to their Master Uncle.
Ling Daochen completely ignored these younger disciples.
“You stay here, I’ll go take a look.”
Without another word, Ling Daochen transformed into a beam of sword light and dashed straight into Ghost Mist Gorge.
With his hundreds of years of cultivation at the pinnacle of the Divine Martial Realm, as long as he didn’t encounter a Half Saint, no one could touch him.
Qingyang Sword Sect had been gradually declining.
There were very few powerful sword cultivators left in the sect who could hold the fort.
Ling Daochen was one of them.
Qin Fei, however, felt a bit worried.
Ling Daochen was on a different level compared to the Law Enforcement Elder and the Transmission Elder.
He hadn’t foreseen the Transmission Elder would directly seek help from the sect.
His plan was simply to draw out Xiao Yang and eliminate him.
His target was Xiao Yang.
Ling Daochen’s arrival added uncertainty to his scheme.
…
As night fell, Ghost Mist Gorge became even more sinister and treacherous.
Many snakes, insects, and vermin liked to come out at night.
At that moment, Xiao Yang had stealthily arrived at the hideout where the scum of the Demon Sect were keeping Jiang Ting.
After capturing her, they locked her up in a secret cave.
As Xiao Yang quietly crouched behind a large rock next to the cave, he overheard the guards of Jiang Ting discussing her.
“Hey hey, this chick is hot. How about we have a little fun first?”
One scum gazed at Jiang Ting tied to the pillar, leering in a disgusting way.
“Good idea!”
The other scum was shamelessly ogling her up and down.
“What do you want? My dad is the Sect Leader Jiang Qitian! If you dare to touch me, he will definitely tear you apart!”
Jiang Ting panicked.
“Oh, turns out she’s the Sect Leader’s daughter! I’ve never had the chance to play with a Sect Leader’s daughter before. Today, I’ll show you a good time and see what’s so special about you.”
“Beauty, just wait for your pleasure! We guarantee you’ll feel like you’re in heaven, and you’ll be begging for more!”
The two scum leered as they headed towards Jiang Ting, who was tied to the pillar.
Having never experienced anything like this before, Jiang Ting was terrified.
“Don’t come over! Please don’t!”
She broke down and started crying.
