“Jiang Ting!”
A deafening roar shattered the air.
Everyone felt their blood surge in response to the ferocity of the voice.
The newcomer stepped into the hall, radiating a pressure so terrifying that all present were drenched in fear, hardly daring to breathe.
Xiao Yang watched this scene coldly.
His master, the Sect Leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect, Jiang Qitian, had finally arrived.
“Greetings, Master…”
Zheng Fan and Song Qiang hurriedly approached Jiang Qitian, bowing.
“Jiang Sect Leader, it’s good to see you!”
The God of Blade, Huang Tian, couldn’t help but ease up a bit.
“After not seeing you for several years, your cultivation has increased significantly, Jiang Brother!”
Luo Xuan, the head of the Luo family, stepped forward and cupped his hands in respect.
“Heavenly Medical Sect’s Ning Shu salutes Jiang Sect Leader!”
The Holy Maiden, Ning Shu, also stood up to pay her respects to Jiang Qitian.
“Uncle Jiang, your arrival brightens our humble abode!”
Li Fan Yin stepped forward to bow as well.
The others also bowed to Jiang Qitian.
Everyone was utterly shocked by Jiang Qitian’s sudden entrance.
Especially Jiang Ting, who was on the brink of desperation, for no one dared to tell her father, Jiang Qitian, about her marriage to Qin Fei.
“Senior Brother, did you tell my dad?” Jiang Ting shouted at Xiao Yang.
“Shut your mouth!” Jiang Qitian bellowed.
Xiao Yang glanced at Jiang Ting and then stood up from his seat, addressing Jiang Qitian, “Disciple greets Master!”
“What is going on here?”
Jiang Qitian shot a cold glare at Xiao Yang and then turned his intense gaze on Jiang Ting, the veins on his forehead throbbing from anger: “You want to marry Qin Fei? You want to get married to Qin Fei?!”
“This…”
Jiang Ting stammered, unable to articulate her thoughts.
“She’s being ridiculous, and you all are following her lead?”
Jiang Qitian glared like a hawk, sweeping his gaze over the Transmission Elder and the other Qingyang Sword Sect disciples.
“Sect Leader, this…”
The Transmission Elder was quite embarrassed.
Indeed, the prestigious Transmission Elder had actually gone along with these young people’s antics; it was utterly shameful.
“Master, please don’t blame my senior sister; it’s all my fault. I’ve been afflicted by blood poison and don’t have long to live. My senior sister just doesn’t want me to leave with regrets, so she just pretended to marry me.”
Qin Fei stepped forward to explain.
“Pretend marriage? You think that’s okay?” Jiang Qitian’s anger flared, pointing at Qin Fei.
“Dad, it’s not my junior brother’s fault. It’s my decision to marry him, so if you want to blame someone, blame me. I’ve threatened to kill myself if they told you, so don’t blame them.”
Jiang Ting stepped in front of Qin Fei for protection.
“You…”
Jiang Qitian pointed at Jiang Ting, utterly speechless in his fury.
Xiao Yang watched Qin Fei coldly from the side.
You want to marry my junior sister? Dream on!
Having lived a second life, Xiao Yang understood Jiang Qitian’s hypocritical nature very well.
Qin Fei had an Innate Dao Body, an incredible physique for cultivation, and a bright future ahead. If he were still a real man, Jiang Qitian might genuinely consider marrying Jiang Ting to him.
But now, Qin Fei had become a eunuch.
Jiang Qitian, that hypocritical man, cared too much about his reputation; there was no way he would marry his precious daughter off to a eunuch.
As the Sect Leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect, he simply could not afford that kind of disgrace.
So today, there was absolutely no way Qin Fei would be marrying Jiang Ting.
Qin Fei, oh Qin Fei, you think you can mess with my state of mind? Not a chance!
Even if you and Jiang Ting really did get married, it wouldn’t affect me in the slightest.
At that moment, Qin Fei was also looking at Xiao Yang.
He never expected Jiang Qitian to come crashing in like this.
He knew all too well that Jiang Ting was his master Jiang Qitian’s precious daughter, and he would never let her marry him, the eunuch.
However, that didn’t stop him from playing the victim and pretending to be pitiful.
Of course, at this point, even without trying to act, Qin Fei was truly pitiful.
“Dad, my junior brother is on the verge of death; please support my marriage to him!” Jiang Ting pleaded.
“What utter nonsense!”
Jiang Qitian was about to lose his mind over Jiang Ting.
Does he not care about his pride?
If his daughter were to marry a eunuch, where would his face go?
“Smack!”
Jiang Qitian slapped Jiang Ting hard across the face.
“…”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Especially Zheng Fan, Li Yunhu, and Ye Qingyao.
They all knew how much the Sect Leader adored Jiang Ting.
They had never seen him hit her before.
But now, the Sect Leader actually slapped Jiang Ting.
It was clear that the Sect Leader was genuinely furious with the little junior sister’s outrageous behavior.
“Dad… you hit me? You’ve never hit me my entire life!” Jiang Ting clutched her face, looking up at Jiang Qitian, her eyes red.
“Shouldn’t I?” Jiang Qitian yelled back.
“Master, if you must hit someone, hit me! Don’t hit my senior sister!” Qin Fei said, stepping up in front of Jiang Qitian with Jiang Ting behind him.
“Junior brother…” Jiang Ting was genuinely touched.
“You think I wouldn’t dare to hit you?”
“Smack!”
Jiang Qitian swiftly slapped Qin Fei across the face.
Qin Fei fell directly to the ground.
“Dad, you’ve gone too far!”
Jiang Ting hurriedly bent down to help Qin Fei up.
Qin Fei’s left cheek swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
“Don’t you know the importance of parental orders and matchmaking? How dare you sneakily get married without telling me? Do you even regard me?” Jiang Qitian fumed.
Xiao Yang watched with a cold smile.
Jiang Qitian, that hypocrite, was also acting.
In his previous life, Jiang Qitian hid himself very well.
He always kept Xiao Yang on a string, making him work for him.
Just when Xiao Yang was about to give up, Jiang Qitian offered him hope again.
In the previous life, Qin Fei hadn’t become a eunuch.
Jiang Qitian had actually regarded Qin Fei as a suitable match for Jiang Ting, wanting to arrange their marriage.
In his previous life, Xiao Yang was merely a pawn in Jiang Qitian’s game!
“Master, it’s all my fault; please don’t blame my senior sister.”
Qin Fei knelt at Jiang Qitian’s feet, coughing up blood in his agitation.
“Dad, my junior brother is about to die!” Jiang Ting cried sadly.
“Sect Leader, Qin Fei has been poisoned by blood poison. Holy Maiden Ning Shu has seen him. Only the Wanling Pill can save him.”
The Transmission Elder hurriedly said.
Other disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect nodded in agreement.
“Blood poison?”
Jiang Qitian looked skeptically at the kneeling Qin Fei.
This disciple of his was just too unlucky.
Forced to castrate himself and now afflicted with blood poison?
Blood poison, wasn’t that the unique technique of the Blood Demon hundreds of years ago?
That Blood Demon had already perished in Black Wind City, right?
Jiang Qitian had long known the whereabouts of everyone and understood what they had gone through.
“That’s right, Jiang Sect Leader, this Qin brother is indeed at death’s door due to blood poison.”
Ning Shu spoke gravely.
Xiao Yang remained silent, watching the show unfold.
He was sure Jiang Qitian had a Wanling Pill on hand.
He was eager to see whether Jiang Qitian would take out the Wanling Pill to save Qin Fei.
The Wanling Pill was a sacred antidote, incredibly precious.
Jiang Qitian didn’t pull out the Wanling Pill to save Qin Fei.
“Is there truly no other way to resolve the blood poison in my disciple’s body apart from the Wanling Pill?”
Jiang Qitian looked at Ning Shu and asked.
“This…”
Ning Shu frowned.
“Senior sister, there is indeed another way to save Qin brother.”
Tang Chen suddenly spoke up.
“What is it?”
Ning Shu was taken aback.
“Although we don’t have the Wanling Pill, we have the Wan Du Dan!”
Tang Chen explained.
“This…”
Ning Shu was stunned upon hearing that. The Wan Du Dan could even poison a martial artist at the Divine Martial Realm.
“Attacking with poison to counter poison?” Xiao Yang queried.
“Exactly, it’s attacking with poison to counter poison, but it’s very dangerous. Consuming the Wan Du Dan feels like ten thousand poisons piercing the heart; it’s incredibly painful. If you can’t endure it, it’s curtains. But if you’re lucky enough to survive, your cultivation will greatly increase.”
“This…”
Qin Fei’s voice trembled.
“Since there’s a glimmer of hope, we should seize it.”
Jiang Qitian spoke calmly.
“Master, this…”
Qin Fei panicked. He didn’t want to endure the agonizing pain of the Wan Du Dan.
That was worse than execution!
Xiao Yang noticed Jiang Qitian wouldn’t use the Wanling Pill to save Qin Fei.
It seemed that in Jiang Qitian’s eyes, Qin Fei was simply worth less than a single Wanling Pill.
“Junior brother, you still have hope!”
Jiang Ting wept with joy.
Others from the Qingyang Sword Sect were equally astonished and delighted.
They couldn’t believe it.
Attacking with poison to counter poison was a perilous gamble.
“Ning, my young friend, since you have the Wan Du Dan, how about selling me one?” Jiang Qitian looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu smiled, directly taking out a small jade bottle and handing it to Jiang Qitian.
“It’s just a single pill. It’s a gift for the Jiang Sect Leader.”
Ning Shu said.
Inside the small jade bottle was, of course, the Wan Du Dan.
“Do I need to feed it to you?” Jiang Qitian looked sternly at the kneeling Qin Fei.
“Master, this…”
Qin Fei’s face turned whiter.
He trembled, at a loss.
He really didn’t want to take the Wan Du Dan.
“Junior brother, you only have this one chance. Just eat the Wan Du Dan!” Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei smugly.
Qin Fei, oh Qin Fei, look at you now!
“Junior brother, just eat it!” Jiang Ting urged.
Though it was merely a slim chance, it was better than waiting for death.
Qin Fei gritted his teeth and finally swallowed the Wan Du Dan.
