Chapter 271

Volume 1 Chapter 271: Tang Chen was stomped to death by me

Since the Qingyang Sword Sect became the number one sect in the Northern Region, quite a few people within the sect have been getting a bit too proud.

Even Sect Leader Jiang Qitian feels like he’s reached the pinnacle of his life.

He has the top cultivation ground in the Northern Region, countless high-quality cultivation resources, and the breakthrough to a Sword Saint is just around the corner.

Once that happens, he would be able to look down on the Northern Region, wielding his sword with authority over the world, grasping the peak of life.

How exhilarating!

The winners write history.

Even though his true self was exposed by Xiao Yang, it didn’t matter; once he became a Sword Saint, who would dare speak against him?

But only Xiao Yang knows that the Qingyang Sword Sect is doomed.

Because of Qin Fei.

Qin Fei is an undercover agent from the Demon Sect. His infiltration into the Qingyang Sword Sect is aimed at bringing it down; there’s no way he’d let the Qingyang Sword Sect genuinely grow stronger.

Lin Wangchuan’s arrival made Xiao Yang aware of the current situation in the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Sure enough, as expected.

Qin Fei directly sabotaged the deal between the Qingyang Sword Sect, the Dan Ding Sect, and the Heavenly Medical Sect.

Due to a lack of spiritual pills to aid in cultivation, Sect Leader Jiang Qitian was seriously troubled.

While Xiao Yang and Lin Wangchuan were chatting, in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, inside the True Immortal Grand Hall.

Jiang Qitian sat high on the throne in the center of the hall, looking down at Qin Fei.

“Master, the Heavenly Medical Sect really doesn’t know what’s good for them! Not only are they refusing to lower prices but they also want to raise them by thirty percent! This is outrageous!”

Qin Fei fumed.

He was reporting to Jiang Qitian about the procurement of spiritual pills.

“What about the Dan Ding Sect?”

Jiang Qitian thought of the troubles in his heart, staring intently at Qin Fei.

The Dan Ding Sect had already been kicked out of the top ten in the Northern Region, but their strength still remained.

Jiang Qitian thought he could easily deal with the Dan Ding Sect.

However, he was overestimating himself.

“Master, the Dan Ding Sect’s pills are also priced higher…”

Qin Fei cautiously replied.

“This is absolutely ridiculous! Do these two sects think that our Qingyang Sword Sect is still the same as before the Jiazi Tournament?”

Jiang Qitian was enraged.

Although they had entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain and gained countless spiritual herbs, those herbs needed to be refined into spiritual pills for their effects to increase exponentially.

That’s why alchemists hold such a high position among the sects.

“Brother Sect Leader, what should we do?”

Elder Qing Lian asked Jiang Qitian.

They had just entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain and needed to fully support their disciples in improving their cultivation and rapidly cultivate a large number of martial artists.

Time was not on their side.

In sixty years, the next Jiazi Tournament would arrive.

If the Qingyang Sword Sect could not rise quickly within sixty years and dominate the Northern Region, they would fall off their pedestal in the tournament.

The Qingyang Sword Sect needed a massive number of spiritual pills right now.

But the Heavenly Medical Sect and the Dan Ding Sect had raised their prices directly.

They knew the Qingyang Sword Sect didn’t lack cultivation resources.

So, they wanted to take a hefty cut out of Qingyang Sword Sect.

The Qingyang Sword Sect wasn’t like the Fuyiao Sword Sect; if they weren’t going to cut down the Qingyang Sword Sect, who else would they cut down?

“Buy it! Buy it at their prices.”

Jiang Qitian gritted his teeth.

After all, their strength was still weak.

The Qingyang Sword Sect had just become the number one sect in the Northern Region.

Did they really think that being the number one meant invincibility?

What a joke.

In the eyes of other sects, the true number one in the Northern Region was the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

What was the Qingyang Sword Sect, anyway?

Even the Sword Guardian, Chen Taixu, had left the Qingyang Sword Sect.

With the Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie dying on Qingyun Mountain and Chen Taixu leaving, the Qingyang Sword Sect was already seriously weakened.

Jiang Qitian had no choice but to compromise.

“Master, this…”

Qin Fei never expected Jiang Qitian could endure this.

You see, once there’s a first instance, there will be a second.

If Dan Ding Sect and Heavenly Medical Sect raised their prices by thirty percent this time, next time it could be fifty or sixty percent.

They would mercilessly drain the Qingyang Sword Sect.

“If only Senior Brother were here…”

Jiang Ting suddenly spoke.

“…”

Everyone’s gaze immediately fell on her.

“Junior Sister, you…”

Qin Fei felt a bit awkward; what did Jiang Ting mean? Did she think Xiao Yang could solve this pill procurement issue?

“When Senior Brother helped the Heavenly Medical Sect during the plague in Tianshui City, it was a big help. If he were here…”

Jiang Ting pondered.

At this moment, she thought of Xiao Yang.

But Jiang Qitian’s expression darkened.

The other elders in the grand hall also felt that if Xiao Yang were here, this issue would be easy to resolve.

However, Xiao Yang had already severed all ties with the Qingyang Sword Sect.

“Junior Sister, Senior Brother caused quite the scene during the Sect Holy Son’s ceremony, embarrassing the Qingyang Sword Sect. He is our enemy; how can you bring him up here?”

Qin Fei snapped.

The elders in the grand hall looked at Jiang Qitian.

“But…”

Jiang Ting wanted to speak again.

“Shut up!”

Jiang Qitian shouted angrily.

“Father, you’ve really let me down!”

Jiang Ting’s eyes reddened as she directly rushed out of the hall.

“Ting’er…”

Jiang Qitian looked at Jiang Ting’s back, letting out a helpless sigh.

Since childhood, Jiang Ting had viewed Jiang Qitian as a role model.

Growing up, whenever she heard people talk about Jiang Qitian, they would praise him for his benevolence and righteousness.

During those moments, she felt immense pride.

However, who would have thought her father would falsify the truth when Qin Fei exposed Qingyang Sword?

Jiang Qitian’s once-great image in Jiang Ting’s heart crumbled in an instant.

She couldn’t accept this.

She could feel the gazes of others around her had changed.

“Why aren’t you going after her?”

Jiang Qitian shouted at the stunned Qin Fei in the grand hall.

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Qin Fei hurriedly chased after her.

…

At this moment, on Qingyun Mountain.

Lin Wangchuan said farewell to Xiao Yang and then took the pills that Xiao Yang had given him directly back to Qingyang Mountain.

Now, Qingyang Mountain was left with only a few remaining disciples.

Everyone wanted to enter the Yuanwu Immortal Domain to cultivate.

Jiang Qitian had been too ruthless.

He had directly left Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan on Qingyang Mountain.

Of course, Elder Gu Feng was also included.

This made Elder Gu Feng furious.

But it was of no use.

At this point, the Qingyang Sword Sect had become a one-man dictatorship for Jiang Qitian.

Who Jiang Qitian allowed into the Yuanwu Immortal Domain was who could enter.

After knowing the situation of the Qingyang Sword Sect, how could Xiao Yang let Jiang Qitian and Qin Fei get away with this?

They wanted spiritual pills, huh?

I’ll make sure they don’t get a single one!

He quickly asked Zhao Fan to find Liu Qingyun.

Soon, Xiao Yang went down Qingyun Mountain with Liu Qingyun, Nangong Hui, and Zhao Fan.

They flew on their swords, heading straight for the Heavenly Medical Sect.

After half a day, they arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Medical Sect.

Zhao Fan directly took out the invitation and handed it to the disciple guarding the gate.

“Qingyun Sect Sect Leader?”

The Heavenly Medical Sect’s disciple didn’t dare to be careless and immediately took the invitation and turned to leave.

Very quickly, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Medical Sect, Tang Long, came out with a group of disciples to welcome them.

Xiao Yang found it strange; why was Tang Long treating them so politely?

After all, Tang Chen, the Grand Elder’s grandson, had died on Qingyun Mountain.

And Tang Chen was Tang Long’s own grandson!

“Haha… Liu Sect Leader, long time no see, please come in!”

Tang Long laughed, directly ushering Liu Qingyun and Xiao Yang into the Heavenly Medical Sect.

“Huh?”

Xiao Yang quickly noticed something was off.

Tang Long led them left and right in the mountains, ultimately arriving in a valley.

The place was filled with scattered stones.

Moreover, this valley was barren; there were no trees, not even a blade of grass.

The heat in the valley was suffocating.

“Brother Tang, what is this place…”

Liu Qingyun stopped in his tracks.

Xiao Yang also frowned.

He could sense a strong fire element aura emanating from beneath the valley.

Deep beneath the valley, there should be a major geothermal fire vein.

This is what alchemists and blacksmiths referred to as “Earth Fire.”

Moreover, using Earth Fire for alchemy or forging wasn’t easy.

Only alchemists or blacksmith masters could channel the Earth Fire for their crafts.

“Hum! This will be your burial ground!”

Tang Long suddenly changed his expression and coldly stared at Liu Qingyun.

“What?”

Liu Qingyun was shocked.

“You want to kill us?”

Xiao Yang looked at Tang Long.

Nangong Hui remained calm, having seen many scenarios while being pursued by the Qin and Li families in the Demon Sect.

But Chao Fan was astounded, directly bringing out the Chaos Sword.

This was the flying sword that Xiao Yang had given him.

The Chaos Sword had originally been stolen from Qin Fei.

Using Chaos Divine Iron, Qin Fei forged it for himself.

But bad luck struck, and during the Jiazi Tournament, his sword was forcibly taken by Xiao Yang.

Qin Fei was furious and spat blood.

But there was nothing he could do.

However, Xiao Yang had obtained the Futian Sword by now, so he didn’t need the Chaos Sword anymore.

“Hm? Chaos Flying Sword?”

Seeing Chao Fan summon the Chaos Sword, Tang Long paused; the kid actually had such a treasure?

At that moment, the disciples Tang Long brought had spread out.

“Boom!”

The void trembled.

A massive light shield suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire valley.

The valley was immediately filled with swirling fire.

The temperature inside the valley soared rapidly.

“Tang Long, you dare?”

Liu Qingyun was both surprised and angry.

He never expected Tang Long would attempt to kill them.

He was the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect!

Moreover, they had come formally with an invitation.

Yet, Tang Long dared to lure them here to kill them.

If word got out, the reputation of the Heavenly Medical Sect would be ruined.

“Why wouldn’t I dare? My grandson Tang Chen died at your Qingyun Mountain. Do you have an explanation for me?”

Tang Long declared coldly.

His grandson was the top talent in the younger generation of the Tang family, with remarkable cultivation talent, already an accomplished healer at a young age.

Tang Chen originally had a bright future ahead.

The Tang family of the Heavenly Medical Sect had been fully supporting Tang Chen.

But who could have imagined that Tang Chen would die on Qingyun Mountain?

This was nothing short of a thunderclap for the Tang family of the Heavenly Medical Sect.

Especially for Tang Long.

His grandson’s death nearly drove him mad.

Now that Xiao Yang and Liu Qingyun had walked right into his trap, Tang Long’s murderous intent arose instantly.

“Your grandson Tang Chen was stomped to death by me. What are you going to do about it?”

Xiao Yang looked at Tang Long indifferently.

“What?”

Tang Long glared at Xiao Yang, wishing he could tear him apart!
