Chapter 260

Volume One, Chapter 260: I, Xiao Yang, Will Never Forgive Jiang Ting!

Tomorrow is the grand day when the Qingyang Sword Sect will formally recognize its Sect Holy Son.

Various sects are sending their delegations to attend the ceremony.

Right now, in Yuntian City, it’s a chaotic mix of people, with strong practitioners gathered from all sides.

The Heguan Sect and Carefree Palace have already arrived.

Once word spread that Xiao Yang was making an appearance, countless martial artists flocked to the inn where he was staying.

Hua Mengli got the news and hurried over.

Li Fan Yin from the Shifang Qimen also showed up.

Meanwhile, Zhao Fan had already twisted the right arm of a middle-aged martial artist from the Guiyuan Martial Sect like it was nothing.

“Little brat, it’s time to die!”

Startled, several disciples from the Guiyuan Martial Sect charged at Zhao Fan in a frenzy.

“Ha!”

Zhao Fan exhaled sharply, and a wave of powerful energy erupted from him.

The audience felt their ears buzz and were utterly shocked.

At that moment, Zhao Fan grabbed the middle-aged man and swung him like a weapon at the disciples of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

“What the…”

Those disciples hesitated, scrambling to dodge.

“Eradicate evil entirely!”

Xiao Yang commanded Zhao Fan.

“Of course, Master!”

Zhao Fan shouted as he smashed the middle-aged man toward one of the Guiyuan Martial Sect disciples and pounced forward.

The disciple from the Guiyuan Martial Sect was caught off guard.

Just as he pushed the middle-aged man away with one palm—

Zhao Fan’s fist connected with that disciple’s chest.

A horrifying cracking sound of bones echoed.

Everyone gaped in shock as they witnessed Zhao Fan’s punch compress the disciple’s chest to his back.

That disciple from the Guiyuan Martial Sect was definitely not walking away from this.

Zhao Fan held nothing back.

The remaining disciples from the Guiyuan Martial Sect were petrified with fear and desperately tried to escape.

But the next moment, a snapping finger echoed.

Those disciples immediately turned into ice sculptures.

“Crash!”

One human-shaped “ice sculpture” shattered upon hitting the ground.

“What…”

Everyone stared in shock at the woman who had snapped her fingers.

It was Ling Xian’er.

With just a snap, she had frozen those disciples from the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

“So powerful…”

The people around her were stunned by Ling Xian’er’s display.

“How is this even possible…”

Nie Ruhua, Hua Mengli, and Li Fan Yin were utterly astonished.

They couldn’t believe their eyes as they looked at Ling Xian’er.

The moment she acted, they felt her immense power.

Peak of the Divine Martial Realm.

How long has it been for her to have reached such a level?

Her training speed is monstrous!

Could it be Xiao Yang’s doing?

Hua Mengli and the others shifted their gaze to Xiao Yang.

“Let’s go, it’s time to head up the mountain!”

Liu Qingyun said to Xiao Yang.

Now that the Qingyun Sect was the seventh sect in the North, they would be honored with a warm welcome by the Qingyang Sword Sect for arriving a day early.

It’s just the proper etiquette in the martial world.

Remember, Liu Qingyun had a handwritten invitation from Jiang Qitian himself.

Liu Qingyun had everything packed and ready to go.

“Alright!”

Xiao Yang nodded.

They didn’t want to linger and tangle with the Guiyuan Martial Sect any longer.

As they left, the surrounding crowd instinctively parted to let them through.

They left Yuntian City without looking back.

Hua Mengli, Nie Ruhua, and Li Fan Yin didn’t follow.

By noon, Xiao Yang and his group arrived at the Mountain Gate of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Seeing it again, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but reflect.

Once upon a time, he was the Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

He reminisced about those days without Qin Fei in the sect.

Life was good before Qin Fei joined the sect.

Back then, the camaraderie among his fellow disciples was strong and genuine.

As the Senior Brother, he had crafted personalized training plans for each and every junior brother.

He tirelessly helped them improve their skills.

He even pampered his little junior sister, Jiang Ting.

Those days were indescribably blissful.

But everything changed once Qin Fei joined the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Everything went downhill from there.

Qin Fei, you might not become the Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect tomorrow.

Xiao Yang looked up at the four big characters “Qingyang Sword Sect” above the Mountain Gate Archway, clenching his fists tightly.

“Senior Brother…”

Just then, two Qingyang Sword Sect disciples guarding the gate approached.

“I’m no longer your Senior Brother.”

Xiao Yang stated coolly.

“Uh…”

The two disciples exchanged awkward glances.

“Haha, that’s right. He’s now my little junior brother!”

Liu Qingyun said smugly.

“Elder Liu, please hold on…”

The two disciples spoke politely.

“Haha, a warm welcome for Elder Liu! I’m sorry for not meeting you properly!”

At that moment, a booming laughter emerged from inside the Mountain Gate.

Xiao Yang looked up to see the Transmission Elder Cang Xiao leading a few disciples out to greet them.

“Good to see you, Elder Cang!” Liu Qingyun boomed.

“Senior Brother!”

Jiang Ting stepped out from behind the Transmission Elder, looking at Xiao Yang.

“I’m no longer a disciple of the Qingyang Sword Sect.”

Xiao Yang said flatly.

“Senior Brother…”

“Big Brother…”

Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan approached as well.

“Please!”

The Transmission Elder glanced at Xiao Yang and then led the way forward.

Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan were genuinely thrilled to see Xiao Yang again.

On their way up the mountain, they chatted a lot.

It turned out that Jiang Qitian still chose to recognize Qin Fei as the Sect Holy Son because he possessed the Innate Dao Body.

And indeed, Qin Fei proved himself outstanding; after Xiao Yang left, he rose to be the top of the younger generation in the Qingyang Sword Sect.

He truly deserved the position of Sect Holy Son.

However, Qin Fei had humiliated himself massively at the Great Competition.

Even the reputation of the Qingyang Sword Sect had taken a hit.

Jiang Qitian was quite conflicted.

But in the end, he still chose Qin Fei.

After all, Qin Fei had the Innate Dao Body!

Such a rare and monstrous physique.

Jiang Qitian remained optimistic about Qin Fei.

Once they reached the mountain, Xiao Yang and the others were shown to guest rooms.

Tomorrow is the day of the Qingyang Sword Sect’s Sect Holy Son recognition ceremony.

Storm clouds were brewing, indeed!

At this moment, the entire Qingyang Sword Sect was all smiles.

Every disciple donned new robes, celebrating as if it were a festival.

“How do you feel coming back here?”

Under a big tree, Liu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yang.

“How do I feel? Like stepping into another lifetime!”

Xiao Yang sighed.

He had spent the first half of his life here.

In his previous life, he died for the sect and his little junior sister, felled by Qin Fei’s sword.

But in this life, it was time for Qin Fei to pay the price.

Tomorrow, he would make Qin Fei pay.

Not long after, Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan returned.

They vented their frustrations to Xiao Yang.

Since Xiao Yang left the Qingyang Sword Sect, Qin Fei took his place.

But Qin Fei was clueless, making a mess of sect affairs.

Most importantly, he didn’t help the disciples drafts training plans, nor did he offer guidance on cultivation.

But the disciples still supported Qin Fei, believing he would strengthen the Qingyang Sword Sect.

This left Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan speechless.

They certainly wouldn’t butter up to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei wasn’t even the Sect Holy Son yet, and people were already crawling all over him.

Xiao Yang chuckled at their complaints, saying nothing.

Does Jiang Qitian truly believe that Qin Fei can ascend smoothly?

Jiang Qitian, you genuinely shouldn’t have invited me to this so-called Holy Son recognition ceremony.

This is your own doing.

Just as Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan were leaving, Jiang Ting appeared.

“Senior Brother…”

Jiang Ting looked like she had something to say.

“Stop!”

Xiao Yang was not in the mood for a chat.

“I’m not a disciple of the Qingyang Sword Sect anymore, nor your Senior Brother. Please leave!”

Xiao Yang said impatiently.

However, he underestimated Jiang Ting’s resolve.

She didn’t walk away but stood there heartbroken, staring at Xiao Yang.

Yet, Xiao Yang remained unmoved.

“If you won’t leave, then I will!”

Xiao Yang turned and marched into the room, shutting the door behind him.

Jiang Ting didn’t go anywhere.

She stood in the courtyard all night long.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang was inside, fast asleep.

At the foot of Qingyang Mountain, the Guiyuan Martial Sect’s disciples were gathering.

Having lost their members to Xiao Yang, they certainly wouldn’t let him off the hook!

They invited a clan elder who was at the Divine Martial Realm to eliminate Xiao Yang and his group before they left the Qingyang Sword Sect.

The assassins from the Smoke Rain Tower were also on the move.

However, they could not ascend Qingyang Mountain.

Still, they shared the same goal with the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

They intended to strike when Xiao Yang and his group attended the Holy Son recognition ceremony and were leaving.

Experts from the Demon Sect were lurking nearby, too.

Qin Fei would ensure that Xiao Yang never left Qingyang Mountain alive.

In no time, those who wanted Xiao Yang dead were gathering around Qingyang Mountain.

“Ding!”

As the first rays of the sun illuminated Qingyang Mountain’s peak, a melodious bell rang.

The sound resonated throughout Qingyang Mountain, echoing between the hills.

When Xiao Yang woke up, Jiang Ting was already gone from the courtyard.

“Your little junior sister seems to really understand her mistakes. Are you really not going to forgive her? Give her a chance?”

Ling Xian’er asked as Xiao Yang stepped out of his room.

“Do I look like an idiot to you?”

Xiao Yang retorted grumpily.

“Not at all!”

Ling Xian’er said instinctively, delighting in his response.

Xiao Yang truly had moved on from his little junior sister.

Ling Xian’er picked up quite a bit about Xiao Yang and Jiang Ting from Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan.

She feared he might forgive Jiang Ting.

What she didn’t know was that Xiao Yang would rather die than go back down that path.

There was no turning back with Jiang Ting.

No matter what, he could never like her again.

Even if Jiang Ting realized her mistakes and repented now, it was too late.

In his previous life, he had given her chances.

But all he got in return was her shielding Qin Fei from a fatal strike.

It only led to Xiao Yang being pierced through the heart by Qin Fei’s sword.

“Ding!”

The bell tolled on.

The Qingyang Sword Sect’s Sect Holy Son recognition ceremony was finally beginning.
