Volume One Chapter 251: Kicking the Demon Buddha Jin Luohan to Death

Atop Qingyun Mountain.

Xiao Yang kicked Lei Lie’s head right off.

This guy actually tried to kill him.

What more was there to say?

Even if Lei Lie was the Law Enforcement Elder of the Qingyang Sword Sect, even if he was once Xiao Yang’s senior uncle, so what?

Forget about the disciple-uncle relationship.

Even Jiang Qitian was merely using Xiao Yang.

In his previous life, he had been badly tricked by Jiang Qitian.

However, Xiao Yang never expected that a single kick would send Lei Lie’s head flying off the peak of Qingyun Mountain, landing smack dab in front of Jiang Qitian on the opposite peak.

Jiang Qitian caught the exploded head and took a look.

He was instantly dumbfounded.

The Law Enforcement Elder of the Qingyun Sect was dead.

“Damn it!”

Jiang Qitian was both shocked and angry; it must have been that nameless Sword Saint’s doing.

Xiao Yang had self-destructed his dantian in front of everyone during the Great Ceremony; he was now a waste, and Xiao Yang was definitely no match for Lei Lie.

Jiang Qitian’s resentment ran deep.

He silently vowed that the day he became a saint would also be the day the Qingyun Sect fell.

He wanted to see how they would protect the Qingyun Sect.

Jiang Qitian ground his teeth in hatred for the mysterious Sword Saint.

However, little did he know that the mysterious Sword Saint was Xiao Yang himself.

…

At this moment, on the square at the top of Qingyun Mountain.

The sight of Xiao Yang kicking Lei Lie’s head off left the remaining two in shock.

One was a big bald guy, and the other was a mysterious masked woman surrounded by demon qi.

“Demon Buddha Jin Luohan, a traitor from the Great Brahman Temple, but who are you?”

Xiao Yang stood before the two, coldly gazing at them.

The Great Brahman Temple was a force that lived in peace with the world.

With their strength, they were actually qualified to be among the top ten in the Northern Region.

However, for countless years, they hadn’t participated in a single Great Ceremony.

The Great Brahman Temple guarded the demonic abyss.

That was their great righteousness.

As such, many cultivators in the Northern Region greatly admired the people from the Great Brahman Temple.

But only Xiao Yang knew that the Great Brahman Temple was no longer the place dedicated to exterminating demons as it once was.

Jin Luohan was surprised that Xiao Yang recognized him since he had never seen Xiao Yang before.

Jin Luohan held a not insignificant status within the Demon Sect.

Such a person, being fickle, was surely a pest.

And who was this mysterious woman?

Xiao Yang searched his mind for information about this demoness, but neither his past life nor this life contained any details about her.

However, judging by her cultivation level, she likely held a considerable position in the Demon Sect.

“Are you from the Qin family or the Li family?”

Xiao Yang coldly asked the masked demoness.

At that moment, the demoness was also looking at Xiao Yang, her pupils reflecting a blood-red glow.

“You…”

Xiao Yang’s heart trembled.

Blood pupils—this was a trait of those possessing the True Demon Bloodline!

Back when the demons invaded the human realm, they nearly turned the entire Yuanwu Continent into their hunting ground.

The demon race and human race mixed, leaving behind the True Demon Bloodline among humans.

Though the demon race had been repelled and the demonic abyss sealed, the True Demon Bloodline had been inherited in the Northern Region, rebounding like weeds that couldn’t be completely exterminated.

“Are you from the Nangong family?”

Xiao Yang suddenly declared.

“You…”

The demoness, surrounded by demon qi, was taken aback.

“Haha… looks like I guessed right.”

Xiao Yang laughed.

There were three major families within the Demon Sect: the Qin family, the Li family, and the Nangong family.

The Qin family was the strongest, for the head of the Qin family was currently the master of the Demon Sect, commanding the demons.

The Li family was second.

Moreover, the Li and Qin families were in a marriage alliance.

These two families united, each benefiting from the other.

Currently, the Demon Sect was firmly controlled by these two families.

As for the Nangong family, they had it rough.

Originally, as the inheritors of the True Demon Bloodline, the Nangong family had the most power in the Demon Sect.

However, several hundred years ago, during the battle at Qingyun Mountain, the Demon Sect suffered enormous losses.

Especially the Nangong family.

Due to their elite sending all their experts, the Nangong family was left severely depleted.

The Qin and Li families secretly banded together, directly eliminating the head of the Nangong family, who was the reigning Nangong Sect master at that time.

Almost all Nangong family members were wiped out, with only a few escaping.

After hundreds of years of living in hiding, were the Nangong family members now planning to stir things up again?

In his previous life, at the last moment, it seemed the Nangong family also made a move.

But by that time, Xiao Yang had already died at Qin Fei’s sword.

As for the later outcomes, Xiao Yang was oblivious.

In this new life, were the Nangong family already making moves so soon?

Xiao Yang felt that many things had changed this time around.

In this life, he had left the Qingyang Sword Sect to join the Qingyun Sect.

And in this life, the Qingyun Sect had reclaimed its place among the Northern Region’s top ten.

Thus, everything had changed since the Great Ceremony.

In his previous life, he hadn’t left the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Now, all the events unfolding were something Xiao Yang had never experienced.

Because of him, the Qingyun Sect had taken seventh place in the Great Ceremony.

Because of him, the Qingyun Sect had reclaimed their mountain.

Because of him, all the powerful practitioners gathered at Qingyun Mountain.

Because of him, Wang Ao, the Sect Leader of the Refining Sect, Tang Chen, the Senior Brother of the Heavenly Medical Sect, and Lei Lie, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Qingyang Sword Sect, all died atop Qingyun Mountain.

Because of him, Jiang Qitian had a fictional enemy, the nameless Sword Saint.

Because of him, Qin Fei quickly rose to power.

And also because of him, Jiang Ting came to regret.

Every event in his past life had changed because of him.

—

“You are actually from the Nangong family?”

Jin Luohan stared, shocked, at the masked woman.

“So, the Nangong family has set their sights on the Qingyun Sect’s territory and resources?”

Xiao Yang said calmly.

“And if we have?”

The masked woman replied nonchalantly, her blood-red pupils utterly composed.

“If the Nangong family wants to rise, they’ll naturally need territory and resources.”

Xiao Yang pondered.

He could guess the Nangong family’s predicament.

For hundreds of years, they must have had a tough time.

Not only were they dodging the pursuit of orthodox powers, but they were also eluding the grasp of the Demon Sect.

The Nangong family had existed in the cracks of society.

The Qingyun Sect was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Nangong family to rise again.

But unfortunately, Xiao Yang had already dug numerous pits for anyone eyeing the Qingyun Sect to fall into.

The Nangong family’s plan had failed.

Xiao Yang looked at the two demons before him.

Compared to Mo Hongyue, their status in the Demon Sect was more substantial.

Xiao Yang knew the Nangong family still had some influence within the Demon Sect.

Some old-timers there actually placed great importance on bloodlines.

“What should I do with you two?”

Xiao Yang contemplated.

“Master, I, Jin Luohan, am willing to brave fire and water for you!”

Jin Luohan immediately prostrated before Xiao Yang.

He was just a flag in the wind.

As long as he could live, he’d willingly do anything, even if it meant swording himself.

Suddenly, Xiao Yang kicked out.

“Bang!”

A bald head went flying off Qingyun Mountain.

“What the…?”

On the opposite ridge of Qingyun Mountain, Jiang Qitian saw something fly out and come crashing toward him.

He saw that shiny, round thing land right in front of him.

Dust flew everywhere, and a large pit was created on the ground.

Jiang Qitian went closer and his pupils instantly contracted.

It was yet another head.

“Is that Demon Buddha Jin Luohan?”

Jiang Qitian was left utterly astonished.

Qin Fei and the others were equally stunned by this scene.

Demon Buddha Jin Luohan was a traitor from the Great Brahman Temple.

He couldn’t resist the temptations of the Demon Sect’s demoness, betraying the Great Brahman Temple to join the Demon Sect.

This guy had exceptional talent; after several years in the Demon Sect, he’d rapidly risen to become a demon general.

Yet, he was killed atop Qingyun Mountain, his head kicked around like a soccer ball.

Jin Luohan was dead.

Xiao Yang was quite displeased with Jin Luohan’s loyalty.

He wasn’t in the business of collecting garbage.

Just a traitor from the Great Brahman Temple, he wasn’t worthy of being his servant.

Jin Luohan’s headless corpse fell down.

The masked woman calmly observed the scene.

Xiao Yang was a bit surprised.

Facing imminent death, she was utterly unafraid?

That kind of fearless attitude wasn’t something everyone possessed.

Jin Luohan, on the other hand, had crumbled at the sight of death.

“Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Xiao Yang couldn’t help but ask.

“Afraid!”

The masked woman replied casually.

“Then why don’t you plead for your life?”

Xiao Yang continued questioning.

“Is it useful?”

The masked woman’s tone remained flat.

“You’re quite clever!”

Xiao Yang looked at the masked woman, his expression shifting slightly.

The Nangong family held deep grudges against the Qin and Li families.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

“I can give you a chance for revenge.”

Xiao Yang said coolly.

“What did you say?”

The masked woman was taken aback, incredulously looking up at Xiao Yang.

How did he know about the enmity between the Nangong, Qin, and Li families?

Xiao Yang smugly gazed at the masked woman.

The masked woman was even more shocked.

She never imagined that Xiao Yang, revived, already understood the backstory.

“The Qingyun Sect currently lacks the capability to handle territory and resources; your Nangong family could assist me in managing them and it could be your chance to redeem yourselves.”

Xiao Yang laughed lightly.

The masked woman understood the implications of Xiao Yang’s words.

As long as the Nangong family nodded, they could escape their life of hiding.

“Do you trust me?”

The masked woman gazed at Xiao Yang.

“Of course not, which is why I need to plant a restriction on you.”

Xiao Yang continued.

“What?”

The masked woman glared icily at Xiao Yang.

“You can refuse, but the consequence is that I will kill you.”

Xiao Yang stared indifferently at the masked woman.

“Fine, I agree!”

The masked woman knew this was the best choice for her and the Nangong family.

Because only by staying alive could there be a possibility for anything.

And if she died, everything would be over.

She wouldn’t get her revenge either.

“Those who know how to adapt are the wise ones. You’re really smart!”

Xiao Yang smiled at the masked woman.
