Chapter 259

Volume One, Chapter 259: Want to cling to Xiao Yang shamelessly?

Under Qingyang Mountain, in Yuntian City.

Early in the morning, a commotion erupted in front of the inn’s door.

“Get lost! All of you! You think you can freeload here? Do you even know where this is?”

Several burly men forcefully shoved a few people out through the door.

“How dare you! Do you know who we are to treat us this disrespectfully?”

A voice boomed with confidence.

Xiao Yang intended to walk away, but upon hearing the voice, he halted and turned to look outside the inn.

Sure enough!

The ones being kicked out were none other than Xiao Zhenshan’s family.

The Xiao family had fallen so low that they couldn’t even afford to stay at an inn?

Well, after he’d completely cut off their cultivation resources, they couldn’t draw from him anymore.

But weren’t they supposed to have that treasure son Qin Fei?

The Xiao family’s affairs had nothing to do with him anymore.

“Do you know my son is Xiao Yang? My adopted son is the innate holy body of the Qingyang Sword Sect, Qin Fei, who is about to become the Sect Holy Son!” Xiao Zhenshan exclaimed angrily.

“Haha… How ridiculous! Your son is Xiao Yang? Your adopted son is Qin Fei? You think I’m easy to fool? If your son is Xiao Yang and your adopted son is Qin Fei, then my son must be a god on earth!” The middle-aged man laughed derisively.

“Haha… Exactly! You, penniless and down and out, dare to swindle here? Aren’t you afraid the people from the Qingyang Sword Sect will cause you trouble?” A few guards sneered in mockery.

“You all… How outrageous!” Xiao Zhenshan fumed, never before had anyone dared to look down on them like this.

However, he didn’t realize that everyone was currying favor with him because of his son being Xiao Yang, and his adopted son Qin Fei.

Now, everyone knew Xiao Yang had blown up his dantian and become a useless person, while Qin Fei hardly paid any attention to the Xiao family.

Moreover, at Qin Fei’s behest, some forces had started to press down on the Xiao family.

The current Xiao family was not the same as it used to be.

Xiao Zhenshan had no choice but to try to cling to Qin Fei.

But Qin Fei hadn’t even sent someone to pick them up and had instead swindled the five top-quality spiritual herbs Xiao Yang had previously given them.

Having acquired the top-quality herbs, Qin Fei simply packed up and left.

At this moment, the Xiao family was on shaky ground.

Just as Xiao Yang was about to leave…

“Brother… Big Brother… He’s my brother Xiao Yang! He’ll pay for our lodging!” Xiao Yue, with sharp eyes, spotted Xiao Yang at the inn’s door.

She seemed to have found her lifeline and shouted in excitement.

Hearing this, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but frown.

“Indeed, it’s you, you ungrateful child!”

Xiao Zhenshan was both shocked and furious upon seeing him.

“Yang’er, how can you just stand by and watch your parents be bullied?” Chen Ruolan snapped.

“Hmph!”

Xiao Yang stepped out with each stride.

“You are Xiao Yang?” The lead guard at the inn eyed Xiao Yang with uncertainty.

“Head of the Xiao family, I can eat whatever I want, but I won’t say whatever you want! I’m not your son,” Xiao Yang replied coldly.

“You ungrateful wretch! You eat our food, drink our drink, live in our house, and now, with wings grown, you refuse to acknowledge your parents?” Xiao Zhenshan bellowed.

By now, a crowd had gathered around them.

People pointed and whispered as they recognized the situation.

“Isn’t this just a white-eyed wolf?”

“Yeah, how can a son ignore his parents’ plight? Truly unfilial.”

Everyone looked at Xiao Yang with disdain.

The guards at the inn also regarded him with contempt.

Currently, Xiao Yang, who had blown up his dantian, was just a useless person now.

No one would pay any attention to a useless person.

“Head of the Xiao family, I’m not even your biological son. Haven’t you enjoyed plenty of benefits from me over the years? Isn’t that five top-quality spiritual herbs enough compensation? My debt of gratitude to the Xiao family is settled. From now on, I’m cutting off all ties with you. Don’t you have a precious adopted son? What about him? Does he not care for you anymore?” Xiao Yang said indifferently.

The crowd gasped in astonishment.

Five top-quality spiritual herbs, indeed priceless.

If you’ve taken someone’s herb, wanting to cling to them is just being shameless.

“Hey, isn’t that the former Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect, Xiao Yang, who blew up his dantian during the Great Competition?” Someone recognized him.

“It really is him!” The surrounding crowd exclaimed.

At that moment, Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er also came out from the inn, drawn by the commotion.

Xiao Yang’s performance in the Great Competition was just too stunning.

He sacrificed his dantian to defeat Li Xingyao and thoroughly embarrassed Qin Fei, thereby clinching the top spot in the Great Competition.

At this moment, who in the Northern Martial Realm hadn’t heard of Xiao Yang’s name?

In no time, the area outside the inn was packed with people.

Many more were gathering from all directions.

“Head of the Xiao family, haven’t you already severed ties with my junior disciple? How dare you still cling to him and continue to drain and drain him?” Liu Qingyun mocked coldly as he looked at Xiao Zhenshan.

The crowd turned to gaze at Xiao Zhenshan in shock.

This revelation was simply too explosive.

Xiao Yang was, in fact, not Xiao Zhenshan’s biological son.

Also, Xiao Yang had severed ties with the Xiao family.

“You ungrateful wretch! Even if you aren’t our biological son, the Xiao family raised you for many years! If your grandfather hadn’t sent you off to the Qingyang Mountain, you wouldn’t be who you are today. Don’t ignore our face; think of your grandfather! He wouldn’t want the Xiao family to fall apart!” Xiao Zhenshan retorted angrily.

He still wanted to cling to Xiao Yang, even using the deceased Xiao family elder as a leverage.

Xiao Yang frowned at his words.

“Brother, even though you aren’t my biological brother, I’ve always considered you as one!” Xiao Yue said as she wanted to reach for Xiao Yang’s hand.

But Xiao Yang dodged away.

Xiao Yue was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit awkward.

“I have already repaid your kindness for raising me. I, Xiao Yang, hereby declare I have severed ties with the Xiao family. Everything related to the Xiao family has nothing to do with me,” Xiao Yang declared coldly, casting a glance at Xiao Zhenshan and the others.

His voice carried to all ears present.

“This…”

Everyone was simply stunned.

Xiao Zhenshan and the others had their faces turn pale.

They never expected Xiao Yang would publicly declare his severance from the Xiao family.

“Xiao Yang, don’t be so ungrateful! Without you, I still have my adopted son, Qin Fei. Qin Fei is about to become the Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect while you, having blown up your dantian, are just a useless person. Without us, you’re nothing!” Xiao Zhenshan shouted, his voice filled with wrath.

“Head of the Xiao family, I’ve got my junior disciple to protect me, so you should leave!” Liu Qingyun looked disdainfully at Xiao Zhenshan.

“Yang’er, are you really that heartless?” Chen Ruolan said sadly.

“It’s not me who is heartless, it’s you who are heartless,” Xiao Yang shot back coldly at Chen Ruolan.

“Xiao Yang, you dare come here?” At that moment, a furious roar came, and someone stepped directly out from the crowd.

“And you Qingyun Sect, how dare you kill the Elder of the Guiyuan Martial Sect? You deserve to die!” Several figures appeared, surrounding Xiao Yang and the others.

“What’s up with Chu Guixi?” Xiao Yang felt a bit irritated; hadn’t he handled the Guiyuan Martial Sect’s side yet?

The Guiyuan Martial Sect was often caught in a fierce competition between the Gui family and the Chu family.

The Gui family was always at a disadvantage in this rivalry.

But that day at Yuanwu Mountain, the presence of Exalted Powers wiped out all Guiyuan Martial Sect members present, leaving the Chu family significantly weakened.

The Gui family had taken the opportunity to rise up.

Had the Elder Gui Zixiu not died at Qingyun Mountain, the Gui family would certainly have trampled the Chu family underfoot by now.

But with Elder Gui Zixiu’s death at Qingyun Mountain, the Chu family rose up again, suppressing the Gui family.

The people coming were from the Gui family of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

The one leading was a formidable figure at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

“You’re really looking for a death wish barging in here today when there’s a road to Heaven and you refuse to take it! Today shall be your last!” The middle-aged martial artist glared at Liu Qingyun and the others, gritted teeth evident.

Onlookers began to retreat in all directions.

“Who let this rabid dog yap around here?” At that moment, a voice sounded.

Everyone turned to see a broad-shouldered youth striding out of the inn.

“You little brat, the Guiyuan Martial Sect doesn’t want to die, so you better scram,” the middle-aged man glared coldly at the youth.

That youth was Zhao Fan.

“Master, these people are disturbing your peace. Let me deal with them!” Zhao Fan bowed respectfully to Xiao Yang.

Everyone around was caught off guard.

This extraordinary youth was actually Xiao Yang’s disciple?

“Haha…”

The Guiyuan Martial Sect members exchanged glances, then burst out laughing.

“You want to deal with us? Just you?”

“Haha, this is hilarious. Have you weaned yet?”

“Xiao Yang, you once were the esteemed Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect, a swordsmanship genius. Who would have thought you’d fall so low that you need a kid to protect you? Truly pathetic.”

The Guiyuan Martial Sect members laughed continuously, ridiculing him.

“You ungrateful wretch, stay out of trouble!”

Xiao Zhenshan sensed trouble and quickly mingled into the crowd with his family.

He wouldn’t offend the Guiyuan Martial Sect just for Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang remained very calm.

Look at this; this is the Xiao family, these are his former parents and sister.

They’ve always been this selfish.

“Kill!”

The leader of the Guiyuan Martial Sect howled, throwing a punch at Zhao Fan.

With a swift movement, Zhao Fan extended his right hand, catching the incoming fist effortlessly.

“What…”

The man was taken aback.

The next moment, Zhao Fan twisted the man’s fist, a spiral force bursting forth from his grip.

A series of bone-cracking sounds followed.

The man’s entire right arm was twisted into a knot, nearly causing him to faint from the pain.

“This…”

Everyone around was dumbfounded by the scene.

No one expected this boy to be so powerful.

Xiao Yang had actually taken on such a formidable disciple?

At that moment, Nie Ruhua emerged from the inn.

And another girl who always gave Xiao Yang a headache walked out of the crowd.

Hua Mengli was also here.
