Chapter 274

Volume 1 Chapter 274: Qin Fei, I’m Covering the Pill Purchases from the Heavenly Medical Sect, You Can Scram!

Tang Long is dead, and Tang Zhan is crippled.

The Heavenly Medical Sect has suffered serious losses.

Sect Leader Luo Feixian stormed into Fire Spirit Valley, intending to capture Liu Qingyun and the others.

Who would’ve thought that it was actually Tang Long trying to kill Liu Qingyun and his crew, but he ended up getting killed instead.

And Tang Zhan, wanting to avenge the Elder Tang Long right off the bat, only made things worse for the Heavenly Medical Sect.

In this situation, they were clearly in the wrong.

Moreover, the terrifying aura that just emanated from Fire Spirit Valley made everyone from the Heavenly Medical Sect nervous.

Even Sect Leader Luo Feixian was wary of that presence.

Could there be a Sacred Martial Realm entity hiding among those four?

Thoughts raced through Luo Feixian’s mind.

How should this situation be resolved?

“Master, Elder Tang Long was the one who tried to kill them first. He was counter-killed by Sect Leader Liu and the others. They didn’t do anything wrong; it was merely that the Elder was outmatched,” said the Saintess of the Heavenly Medical Sect, Ning Shu, glancing at Xiao Yang in the valley.

“This…”

No one expected Ning Shu to stand up for Liu Qingyun and the others.

But it was true; Elder Tang Long was in the wrong.

They had come to pay respects according to the proper etiquette between sects, and Elder Tang Long attempted to kill Liu Qingyun.

If this gets out, how would the Heavenly Medical Sect save face?

Even though the Qingyun Sect isn’t much, it’s still recognized by the Yuanwu Immortal Domain and has the intent of immortality behind it.

If Tang Long truly killed Liu Qingyun, the Heavenly Medical Sect would be in deep trouble.

After all, the Qingyun Sect has that mysterious Sword Saint backing it.

Just thinking about the consequences of offending a Sword Saint made Luo Feixian break out in a cold sweat.

“Saintess, you…”

Seeing Ning Shu actually go against the grain, Tang Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, nearly fainting.

“You guys in the Heavenly Medical Sect are indeed an upright faction. Your Saintess is truly incorruptible!” Liu Qingyun exclaimed.

“…”

Everyone from the Heavenly Medical Sect felt dejected upon hearing this.

“Master, they killed our Elder and crippled Tang Zhan! We need to make them pay blood for blood!” a black-bearded elder shouted excitedly.

“Oh, so the Heavenly Medical Sect intends to act unreasonable and kill to silence them?” Liu Qingyun shouted back.

People from the Heavenly Medical Sect felt a bit awkward hearing this.

After all, they were an upright faction. How could they blur the lines of right and wrong?

If they did, what would differentiate them from the Demon Sect and other evil factions?

“Wrong is wrong, and right is right. Elder Tang Long attempted to kill Sect Leader Liu; that was a mistake – a gross one, at that. But he’s already dead and has faced his punishment, so let this matter rest.” Luo Feixian’s authoritative voice rang out.

“Indeed, our Heavenly Medical Sect is not an evil faction; we must face consequences for our actions. Elder Tang Long and Uncle Tang Zhan dug their own graves,” Ning Shu declared loudly.

The Tang family members present felt a pang of resentment upon hearing this.

Now that the Sect Leader has said so, it looks like they’re stuck with a silent loss.

“Ha ha… Excellent! The Heavenly Medical Sect truly knows right from wrong. I, Liu Qingyun, admire you!” Liu Qingyun laughed heartily.

Xiao Yang merely observed coldly.

At this moment, deep within the Earth Veins, the Fire Scale Sacred Beast was ravenously devouring the underground fire energy.

Soon, the fire energy within the entire valley began to diminish rapidly.

“This…”

Luo Feixian and the others felt the shift in the fire energy of Fire Spirit Valley and couldn’t help but be moved.

“It’s that Sacred Beast…” Tang Zhan tremblingly said.

“Sacred Beast?” Luo Feixian was taken aback.

Could that terrifying aura from earlier belong to a Sacred Beast?

Tang Zhan was a Half Saint.

Liu Qingyun was merely in the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Xiao Yang exuded no martial artist aura at all.

The boy beside Xiao Yang seemed impressive but was just at the Divine Ability Realm.

As for the dark-clothed woman, her aura was somewhat peculiar.

She held the highest cultivation among the four, but was still only at the Divine Martial Realm.

So there was indeed a Sacred Beast.

“Roar!”

A deep, thunderous roar echoed from underground.

The terrifying aura re-emerged.

“This…”

The people from the Heavenly Medical Sect felt their souls tremble.

A Sacred Beast! That’s a being that can rival a Martial Saint in the Sacred Martial Realm!

No wonder Liu Qingyun and his group could turn the tables on Elder Tang Long and cripple Tang Zhan.

How could Tang Long and Tang Zhan possibly match a Sacred Beast?

The black-bearded elder, who wanted blood reparations from Xiao Yang and the others, was now drenched in cold sweat and dared not say another word.

Soon, the array protecting Fire Spirit Valley collapsed.

The fire energy from the underground Fire Element Veins had been completely devoured by the Fire Scale Sacred Beast.

“…”

Luo Feixian and the disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect were left dumbfounded and deeply pained.

There was not a shred of Fire Element Spiritual Energy left in Fire Spirit Valley.

This place was rendered useless.

And the Fire Element Veins beneath it? Also wasted.

Then, a flame-wreathed Sacred Beast, resembling a divine Fire Qilin, burst forth from the ground.

“Roar!”

The Fire Scale Sacred Beast let out a howl, its terrifying presence radiating throughout the valley, shaking the entire place.

The flames erupting from the Fire Scale Sacred Beast melted the ground beneath.

A chilling heatwave surged outward in all directions.

Luo Feixian in the air was taken aback by this scene.

The people from the Heavenly Medical Sect were all in a state of panic.

This was a legendary Sacred Beast!

There were indeed Sacred Beasts in the North.

In the Beast Control Manor, there was a Sacred Beast residing there.

But that Sacred Beast hadn’t shown its face in a long time.

When did another Sacred Beast appear in the North?

The Sacred Beast approached Xiao Yang step by step.

Xiao Yang reached out and patted the Fire Scale Sacred Beast’s head.

Everyone was stunned to see that the flames emanating from the Sacred Beast didn’t harm Xiao Yang in the slightest.

The Sacred Beast nudged its head against Xiao Yang, clearly trying to curry favor.

“How is this possible…”

Everyone was in shock at this scene.

Even Liu Qingyun and Zhao Fan were dumbfounded.

Only Nangong Hui maintained her indifference.

She alone knew just how strong and terrifying Xiao Yang truly was.

In the next moment, the Fire Scale Sacred Beast transformed into a streak of fire and shot into Xiao Yang’s arm.

“…”

The Heavenly Medical Sect folks were left gaping.

What’s going on?

Everyone was filled with curiosity.

Ning Shu flew down from the air.

“Xiao Yang, what is this…?” Ning Shu focused on Xiao Yang’s right hand.

“This is a Sacred Beast from a senior. That senior didn’t want me to be bullied, so they let me take the Fire Scale Sacred Beast with me when I came down from the mountain.” Xiao Yang explained.

He didn’t want anyone to know he was the master of the Fire Scale Sacred Beast.

So, he brought up the mysterious Sword Saint instead.

Everyone in the North’s cultivation world knew about the anonymous Sword Saint secretly safeguarding the Qingyun Sect during that fight at Qingyun Mountain.

They could look down on the Qingyun Sect and Liu Qingyun but dared not disrespect the powerful figure behind it.

“Now it makes sense!”

Everyone quickly understood upon hearing this.

At this moment, the way the Heavenly Medical Sect looked at Xiao Yang transformed entirely.

He was now protected by a Sacred Beast!

Xiao Yang knew just how precarious their situation was.

That’s why he needed to fabricate a mysterious Sword Saint identity.

With that title, no one would dare underestimate the Qingyun Sect.

Without that identity, the Heavenly Medical Sect might have attacked them long ago.

“What brings you to my Heavenly Medical Sect this time?” Ning Shu directly asked Xiao Yang.

After all, no one comes to pay respects without a reason.

Since Xiao Yang and the others had come to pay respects, they must have something in mind.

“Not particularly, just wanted to procure some pills.” Xiao Yang replied.

“Procure pills?” Luo Feixian and the others were momentarily taken aback.

“Is that so? Then please, Sect Leader Liu, let’s move to the Great Hall of the Heavenly Medical Sect for a more detailed discussion,” Luo Feixian said.

“Sure!” Liu Qingyun nodded.

Then, Xiao Yang and the others were personally welcomed into the Great Hall of the Heavenly Medical Sect by Sect Leader Luo Feixian and Saintess Ning Shu.

However, just as they settled down, a disciple rushed in to report that the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect had come to pay respects.

“Qin Fei?” Xiao Yang chuckled upon hearing this.

He never expected to run into Qin Fei here.

Saintess Ning Shu personally went to receive him.

With the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect arriving, it was customary for Saintess Ning Shu to give him face by greeting him herself.

Soon, Qin Fei and his party followed Ning Shu to the Great Hall.

“Xiao Yang?” The moment Qin Fei entered the Great Hall and saw Xiao Yang, his eyes turned red with rage.

This guy stirred up trouble during his Holy Son coronation ceremony, humiliating him publicly.

Now, meeting his nemesis, he was furious beyond measure.

“Little Junior Brother, hope you’ve been well!” Xiao Yang said with an amused smirk at Qin Fei.

“Senior Brother…” Just then, stepping out from behind Qin Fei was a familiar figure.

It was Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting was here too?

Xiao Yang truly didn’t expect to see Jiang Ting here.

She looked a bit gaunt after half a year.

“Don’t call me that. I’m not your Senior Brother anymore,” Xiao Yang retorted coldly.

Jiang Ting’s eyes immediately filled with sadness at his words.

“Sect Leader Luo, we’ve agreed to your terms,” Qin Fei cut straight to the point.

“Agreed?” Luo Feixian, sitting on the central throne, looked somewhat surprised.

“Holy Son Qin, are you serious?” Ning Shu asked.

After all, this time the Heavenly Medical Sect had raised the prices of all their pills by thirty percent.

Unexpectedly, the Qingyang Sword Sect agreed.

Is the Qingyang Sword Sect really that desperate for pills?

“Isn’t it just a thirty percent price increase? We of Qingyang Sword Sect can afford this!” Qin Fei replied nonchalantly.

“Qin Fei, do you understand what it means to wait your turn?” Xiao Yang interjected.

“Xiao Yang, what do you mean by that?” Qin Fei glared at Xiao Yang coldly.

“What I mean is, you arrived late. I, Xiao Yang, am covering the costs for all the pills from the Heavenly Medical Sect. You can scram now,” Xiao Yang said dismissively.

“What?” Qin Fei was taken aback.

“Luo Sect Leader, have you signed a contract with Xiao Yang already?” Qin Fei asked, startled.

“Not yet!” Luo Feixian shook her head.

“Ha ha, then that’s good,” Qin Fei laughed.

“What do you mean by that?” Xiao Yang shot a cold glare at Qin Fei.

“What waiting your turn? Since you haven’t signed a contract yet, that means highest bidder takes all!” Qin Fei triumphantly looked at Xiao Yang.
