Chapter 151

“Who cares if you live or die?”

At the banquet in the City Lord’s Mansion of Nine Heavens City.

“Qin Fei is dying? Are you kidding me?”

Xiao Yang scanned the crowd, spotting Jiang Ting with red eyes, shedding tears of sorrow, his junior disciples looking downcast, and Transmission Elder with a serious expression and furrowed brows.

Even Li Fan Yin and Huang Tian, the high-ups of Shifang Qimen, were lamenting.

Qin Fei, being an Innate Dao Body with a heavenly constitution, was the closed-door disciple of the Qingyang Sword Sect’s leader, destined for greatness. If he died just like that, it would be a case of heaven being jealous of the talented.

“Xiao bro, this is true! Qin Shi Di has been poisoned by blood worms, and the worms have burrowed into his bones and marrow. Unless we find the legendary Wan Ling Dan, even the Medical Sage likely can’t save him,”

Ning Shu, the saintess of the Heavenly Medical Sect sighed.

If even someone like her said so, that practically sentenced Qin Fei to death!

Xiao Yang glanced at Ning Shu, then his gaze fell on Qin Fei’s face.

This guy knows how to play the victim.

Pretending to be weak, pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be tragic.

Anyone seeing Qin Fei now would likely feel a pang of sympathy.

If this were the previous life, Xiao Yang might have fallen for Qin Fei’s act.

But alas, living through it again, Qin Fei was just a clown in Xiao Yang’s eyes.

“Little junior, even though you’re dying, your adoptive father treats you so well. Are you really going to leave him in the lurch, knowing they’re kidnapped and you even know where they are?”

Xiao Yang thought with a smirk.

“Well… Senior Brother, I really want to save them, but given my condition, I’m utterly powerless!”

Qin Fei replied helplessly.

“It’s getting late; it’s time to make our move.”

Xiao Yang stood up.

“Whoever dares to commit crimes in Nine Heavens City, we won’t let them off easily!”

Li Fan Yin also stood up.

She directly ordered the activation of Nine Heavens City’s defensive barrier.

At the banquet, all the prominent figures were gathered together, and the high-ups of Shifang Qimen were also present.

Li Fan Yin didn’t even have to order the gathering of experts.

“Little junior…”

Xiao Yang walked towards Qin Fei.

“Senior Brother, what are you up to?”

Jiang Ting jumped up, standing in front of Xiao Yang to protect Qin Fei.

“Get out of the way!”

Xiao Yang pushed Jiang Ting aside and grabbed Qin Fei, striding towards the banquet hall exit.

“Holy Son, you’re crossing the line!”

The Transmission Elder was furious and rushed forward, reaching out to grab Qin Fei, attempting to keep him behind.

Xiao Yang chuckled lightly, and in the next moment, he stepped forward and vanished from the spot.

The Transmission Elder’s grab missed.

“Huh?”

The Transmission Elder was taken aback.

“I don’t care if you live or die; you’re coming with me to save someone.”

Xiao Yang said as he pulled Qin Fei and walked out of the banquet hall.

“This…”

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

At that moment, a wave of Sword Qi surged from outside.

People rushed out to see a flash of sword light moving across the sky before vanishing.

“Senior Brother, you…”

By the time Jiang Ting dashed out of the banquet hall, Xiao Yang had already whisked Qin Fei away on a flying sword, long gone from sight.

Jiang Ting trembled with anger.

“The little junior is on the brink of death, and you’re treating him this way…”

Jiang Ting clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh.

“Let’s head to Shili Slope…”

Li Fan Yin commanded, and countless figures surged skyward, racing towards the outskirts of the city.

Every figure radiated a brilliant martial aura.

Only Enlightenment Realm martial artists could fly like that, as they may communicate with the heavens and utilize spiritual energy, soaring freely through the skies.

Each martial artist’s unique spiritual energy output created a breathtaking scene.

So the city witnessed a spectacular display.

Streams of multicolored divine light shot from the City Lord’s Mansion, piercing the dark night sky and rushing outward.

Everyone in the city was stunned at this sight.

A powerful wave of Qi descended from the heavens.

Countless people were taken aback, speculating about what was happening.

Then more beams of sword light shot into the sky.

For sword practitioners, they can fly with their swords even at the Divine Ability Realm.

However, since they had yet to break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm, flying required draining their own spiritual energy.

That’s why Divine Ability Realm sword practitioners could only fly briefly.

Jiang Ting, being a Heavenly Martial Realm sword master, pursued them on her sword.

Lei Renjie also fused with his sword, transforming into a sword light soaring into the sky after them.

Lin Wangchuan, Song Qiang, and the others also flew out of Nine Heavens City on their swords, landed to orient themselves, and set off in pursuit.

“You guys stay in the city; don’t go anywhere until I return!”

The Transmission Elder ordered Zheng Fan, Han Bin, Fang Ritian, Chu Haoran, along with Yun Qianxue, Ye Qingyao, and Li Yunhu.

He hesitated for merely a moment, and Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang were already out of sight.

The Transmission Elder then also took off into the sky, stepping on his flying sword and leaving Nine Heavens City.

At this moment, the entire city was on high alert.

Actually, after nightfall, Nine Heavens City would activate its defensive barrier, sealing the sky, preventing anyone from entering from above.

This was why Li Fan Yin ordered the activation of the city’s barrier.

If the barrier wasn’t opened, no one could leave the city.

…

Shili Slope is actually more than ten miles away from Nine Heavens City.

Shili Slope is a small hill located over a hundred miles south of the city.

On Shili Slope stood an abandoned Taoist temple, surrounded by graveyards.

The Taoist temple had long since fallen into disrepair.

Legend says, hundreds of years ago, there was a sword god who emerged here.

This person was known as the Sword God of Shili Slope.

He excelled at swordsmanship, capable of killing one person every ten miles, leaving no trace.

However, after hundreds of years, the temple had become overgrown with weeds, with missing doors and windows, and the stone statues inside had toppled, with a large hole in the roof.

Broken bricks and tiles littered the temple floor.

At this moment, however, there was light shining from within.

Just then, a beam of sword light fell from the sky directly before the temple.

The sword light dissipated, revealing two figures.

It was Xiao Yang and Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang grasped Qin Fei by the collar, lifting him with ease.

“I’m here; come out!”

Xiao Yang shouted towards the temple.

“Hehehe…”

A chilling, eerie laughter echoed from within the temple.

Then, several black-clad figures emerged, dragging out a few captives.

Xiao Yang saw that among those brought out were his parents and sister.

His father, Xiao Zhenshan, mother, Chen Ruolan, and sister were a bit disheveled but overall fine.

“Unfilial son, what kind of enemies have you made that got your parents and sister in such trouble!”

Upon seeing them, Xiao Zhenshan scolded Xiao Yang angrily.

“Bro, save me!”

“Yang’er…”

His mother and sister were overwhelmed with emotions upon seeing him.

At that moment, a figure draped in a black cloak, clad in red beneath it with a masked face, stepped out of the temple.

“Hey, how about I trade this guy for them?”

Xiao Yang said as he held Qin Fei aloft, presenting him to the captors.

“……”

The leading figure’s jaw dropped when he saw Qin Fei’s face, utterly stunned.

What the heck is going on?
