Chapter 170: I Don’t Believe You, Trying to Fool Me?

Xiao Yang never imagined that Liu Qingyun and his disciple Ling Xian’er would dare to swindle in Nine Heavens City.

What’s worse is that they actually pretended to be him, the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect, to pull off their scheme.

Xiao Yang really didn’t know what these two were thinking.

They knew he was in Nine Heavens City, yet they still dared to impersonate him.

Now look, they got caught.

Xiao Yang recognized the guard who had captured Liu Qingyun and his disciple; he looked familiar, as if he’d seen him somewhere before.

Just when Liu Qingyun and his disciple were about to be taken away, Liu Qingyun suddenly spotted Xiao Yang watching from the crowd.

“No way!”

Xiao Yang felt a bit exasperated; he just wanted to watch the show, yet Liu Qingyun spotted him.

That guy has a good eye.

“Son-in-law, save me!”

Liu Qingyun was ecstatic to see Xiao Yang.

He definitely didn’t want to be taken into that so-called black prison.

“Xiao Yang?”

Ling Xian’er also saw him.

“Oy, you two still want to act in front of me?” the guard fumed.

After all, he was a prominent figure in the city. How dare these two impersonate the Sect Holy Son Xiao Yang of Qingyang Sword Sect to con him? How despicable!

“No, no acting here; my son-in-law is really called Xiao Yang!” Liu Qingyun quickly clarified.

“Seriously, how ridiculous! Do you expect me to believe my son is a deity?” the guard yelled angrily.

“My son-in-law is really Xiao Yang! Son-in-law, don’t go! How could you just stand by and watch me die? If you won’t save me, at least save your wife!” Liu Qingyun shouted at Xiao Yang.

At this point, everyone turned to look where Liu Qingyun was pointing.

The crowd’s gaze quickly fell on Xiao Yang.

“This person is Xiao Yang?”

“The Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect?”

“Impossible!”

Everyone was skeptical of Liu Qingyun.

“You are Xiao Yang?”

The guard eyed Xiao Yang suspiciously.

Xiao Yang was dressed in a plain robe, tall and fair-skinned, looking quite handsome.

However, he had suppressed all his aura.

So, to this beginner-level Heavenly Martial Realm guard, he merely looked like an ordinary person, not even a martial artist.

But this was Nine Heavens City.

In Nine Heavens City, there were no ordinary folks.

Even the children in the city practiced martial arts, let alone the adults.

In this city, everyone practiced, and everyone radiated a martial artist’s aura.

Yet, this white-robed youth didn’t have a shred of martial aura about him.

That was a rare sight in Nine Heavens City.

“Hmph, open your eyes wide and see, he is my son-in-law, the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect, Xiao Yang!” Liu Qingyun said proudly.

“What?”

The crowd gasped in disbelief.

“Old man, are you really crazy?”

“This is just an ordinary person.”

“How could he be that guy who defeated the Holy Daughter Li Xingyao of Fuyiao Sword Sect?”

People still didn’t believe it.

What kind of existence was Xiao Yang?

He was the one who defeated Li Xingyao.

Li Xingyao, the Holy Daughter of Fuyiao Sword Sect.

Before she wielded her sword on Qingyang Mountain and challenged the Qingyang Sword Sect, she was recognized as the number one of the younger generation in the northern region.

And Xiao Yang defeated her.

That meant the current number one of the young generation in the northern region was Xiao Yang.

How could this ordinary person possibly be him?

At this point, Xiao Yang’s fame had already spread far and wide in the northern region.

“Sigh!”

Seeing that he couldn’t avoid the situation, Xiao Yang stepped forward.

“Old man, didn’t expect you to have an accomplice!” a deputy beside the guard scoffed.

“Accomplice?” Liu Qingyun froze at the words.

“Now I get it!”

The people around quickly understood.

Their scamming techniques were utterly superb.

“How dare you impersonate the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect? Do you know that’s a death sentence?” the deputy said, unsheathing his sword with a clang.

“Impersonating me is a death sentence?” Xiao Yang looked at the deputy with indifference.

“Exactly! Impersonating Xiao Yang is a death sentence. Kid, prepare to die!” the deputy said without hesitation, swinging his sword at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang shook his head in resignation. In this day and age, there are so many foolish people.

With a casual wave, the deputy and his sword flew away, crashing several yards away.

“…”

The whole place fell silent.

No one expected this young man to be so powerful.

The soldiers nearby immediately gripped their weapons and surrounded Xiao Yang.

“What? You want to attack me?” Xiao Yang glanced dismissively at the soldiers.

Just some untrained goons.

That guard, however, looked like he had some skill.

In the next moment, the crowd erupted in astonishment.

This guy had the audacity to attack the city guard!

It was equivalent to declaring war on the lord of Nine Heavens City!

Nine Heavens City was the territory of Shifang Qimen.

This meant he had offended Shifang Qimen.

Shifang Qimen was one of the ten strongest forces in the northern region.

Offending Shifang Qimen could mean death.

“I told you, he is my son-in-law, the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect, Xiao Yang! I advise you to let us go, or you’ll be in for a rough time,” Liu Qingyun said smugly.

“You really are Xiao Yang?” the guard Pang Gang asked, looking at Xiao Yang with skepticism.

He also felt Xiao Yang looked somewhat familiar.

“My disciple is just pretending to be her husband; what’s wrong with that?” Liu Qingyun said boastfully.

“This…”

Pang Gang hesitated at Liu Qingyun’s remarks.

“Old man, what are you talking about?” Ling Xian’er said, looking displeased.

“What do you mean? You two are a match made in heaven, destined to be together!” Liu Qingyun confidently stated.

“I say, old man, you can actually read fortunes?” Xiao Yang felt utterly speechless. With a wave of his hand, Liu Qingyun’s bindings instantly fell away.

“Take us away from here; I’ll give you a big opportunity,” Liu Qingyun whispered to Xiao Yang.

“I don’t believe you, trying to fool me?” Xiao Yang was skeptical. This guy was known as the biggest con artist in the northern region; how could he trust his words?

“It’s true!” Ling Xian’er suddenly said to Xiao Yang, her expression serious.

Xiao Yang waved his hand again, and Ling Xian’er’s bindings also snapped.

“Oh, isn’t that Xiao Yang? What are you doing still in Nine Heavens City?” a voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw a young man in fine clothes approaching, accompanied by a stunningly beautiful woman.

That woman was Liu Ruxian.

Liu Ruxian glared hard at Xiao Yang, her eyes filled with malice.

Her parents and brother had all died at Xiao Yang’s hands.

She swore vengeance.

But now wasn’t the time.

“Chu Guiyuan?” Xiao Yang didn’t hide his surprise upon recognizing the newcomer.

“Is he really Xiao Yang?” At this moment, Pang Gang had no doubt anymore.

He was so scared, his legs almost gave way.

“Everyone, step back,” Pang Gang quickly ordered.

The soldiers surrounding Xiao Yang immediately sheathed their weapons and backed away.

“Sect Holy Son Xiao, I’m truly sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you,” Guard Pang Gang quickly apologized.

“He’s the Xiao Yang who defeated Li Xingyao?” A man stepped out from behind Chu Guiyuan.

This man was tall, clad in animal hide, and looked fierce, brimming with killing intent.

“Beast Control Manor’s people?” Xiao Yang was a little surprised.

At this point, Xiao Yang finally understood why Chu Guiyuan and his son had left in such a hurry before.

The Chu family aimed to ally with Li Gaitian, but Li Gaitian suddenly went into seclusion.

As a result, Guiyuan Martial Sect’s plan to align with Shifang Qimen fell through.

However, it was evident that the Chu family had finally found an ally.

And that ally was undoubtedly Beast Control Manor.

The strength of Beast Control Manor surpassed that of Shifang Qimen.

With these two forces joining together, their ambition was undoubtedly vast.

“Right as rain!” Chu Guiyuan chuckled.

“Follow me!” Xiao Yang glanced at the two before turning to Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er.

He then walked away.

The disciple of Beast Control Manor tried to approach, but Chu Guiyuan stopped him with a hand.

“Huh?” The disciple from Beast Control Manor looked confused at Chu Guiyuan.

“Why the rush? The big competition is just around the corner. Once we defeat Xiao Yang at the competition, humiliating him, wouldn’t that be much more satisfying?” Chu Guiyuan smiled.

“Haha, Brother Chu sure thinks ahead,” the Beast Control Manor disciple laughed heartily.

As Xiao Yang left with Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er, the crowd dispersed since there was no more show to watch.

Guard Pang Gang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, still in shock.

He almost offended an existence one should never provoke.

Chu Guiyuan and his group also left.

…

“Spill it; what grand opportunity do you want to give me?” Back at the Carefree Inn, Xiao Yang glared at the old man and the young woman before him.

“In the mountains outside Nine Heavens City, there lies a cave dwelling of an Earth Immortal,” Liu Qingyun said without hesitation.

“What?” Xiao Yang froze at this revelation. An Earth Immortal’s cave dwelling? Are you kidding me? That’s an Earth Immortal!

Earth Immortals are beings who have reached the realm of terrestrial immortality.

In the entire northern region, throughout endless ages, has anyone ever reached this state?

No, not a single one.

Above the Sacred Martial Realm is the Earth Immortal realm.

In the northern region, with Earth Immortals unseen, the Sacred Martial Realm remains unbeaten.

“I don’t believe you, trying to con me? Can you not boast?” Xiao Yang was genuinely getting angry.

“This time the old man isn’t lying,” Ling Xian’er suddenly glanced at Xiao Yang, her face serious.

“Oh?” Xiao Yang still didn’t believe it.

After all, Ling Xian’er was Liu Qingyun’s disciple; he couldn’t trust her fully.

“Why not go take a look and see for yourself?” Liu Qingyun stared at Xiao Yang seriously.

“Fine, let’s go take a look!” Xiao Yang nodded.

The three then directly left the Carefree Inn and exited the city.

Under Liu Qingyun’s guidance, they soared through the air towards the location of the Earth Immortal’s cave dwelling.

Before long, they entered the mountain range.

“Haha… Xiao Yang, you’ve really fallen for it!” Just as Xiao Yang left Nine Heavens City, Chu Guiyuan and the disciple from Beast Control Manor stepped out from the city gates.

It turned out it was a trap set by Chu Guiyuan and the Beast Control Manor disciple.

They wanted to eliminate Xiao Yang.
