Chapter 308: The Arrival of the Immortal Gate Envoy

Jiang Qitian actually intended to snatch Bai Li Yao Sheng’s inner core.

But just as he was about to take a swing at Bai Li Yao Sheng with his sword, Xiao Yang, wearing a mask, suddenly intervened and saved her.

Once again, he ruined Jiang Qitian’s good deed.

And not only that, he even left Jiang Qitian heavily injured.

He managed to obtain ten drops of dragon blood from Bai Li Yao Sheng.

This was dragon blood, incredibly valuable.

You see, in the Northern Region, and indeed throughout the Yuanwu Continent, the dragon race had long since gone silent.

Getting ten drops of dragon blood was truly Xiao Yang’s luck.

In fact, Bai Li Yao Sheng had also left a severed arm in Xiao Yang’s possession.

The dragon race was filled with treasures.

That severed arm from Bai Li Yao Sheng could be of great use to Xiao Yang too.

However, just as Xiao Yang was about to leave, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing right in front of Bai Li Yao Sheng.

“You people actually found me…”

Bai Li Yao Sheng looked at the newcomer, her eyes blazing with fury.

The newcomer was also dressed in white, her face veiled, emanating an otherworldly aura.

She was none other than the Sect Holy Daughter from the Immortal Gate, who had once pressured Xiao Yang into a corner.

Bai Li immediately turned to flee.

The Sect Holy Daughter stretched out her right hand, and a golden rope flew out from her sleeve, instantly entangling Bai Li tightly.

“The Binding Dragon Rope?”

Bai Li was both shocked and furious.

She crashed to the ground.

“Still trying to escape?”

The Sect Holy Daughter stepped forward and directly sealed Bai Li’s cultivation.

She grabbed Bai Li and soared into the sky.

…

Meanwhile, in a hidden altar deep within the Demon Abyss, a figure sat cross-legged.

The altar was inscribed with demonic formations.

At that moment, countless demonic runes emerged on the altar, intertwining to form myriad diagrams.

Numerous skeletal remains lay scattered on the ground around the altar.

The air was dark and eerily silent.

And sitting right in the center of the altar was Qin Fei.

“Soul Devouring Demon!”

Qin Fei activated the formation without hesitation.

A chilling wind howled around the altar, and demon qi surged.

Phantom demonic souls shimmered in the demon qi, like a chaotic dance of spirits.

These souls charged toward Qin Fei, only to be devoured into his body.

The demonic power within Qin Fei grew increasingly formidable, his eyes gradually turning a deep red.

“It’s not just the Breaking Realm Dan that can help me break through my cultivation limits; today, I’ll advance into Half Saint using demonic power…”

Qin Fei grit his teeth.

Within the Demon Abyss, countless horrific entities were sealed away.

As the final battlefield of the ancient Immortal-Demon War, countless strong practitioners from both the Immortal and Demon races, as well as other races, had perished here.

The Demon Abyss was never short of demonic souls.

These unbound souls had persisted in the Abyss, not only surviving throughout endless ages but multiplying over time.

Qin Fei cultivated the Heavenly Demon Technique specifically to devour these demonic souls for the sake of elevating his cultivation.

…

Just as Qin Fei was pushing toward the Half Saint realm with his demonic power in the Demon Abyss, the Qingyang Sword Sect suddenly announced a postponement of the apprenticeship ceremony.

When the news spread, everyone was taken aback.

Speculation ran rampant about why the Qingyang Sword Sect had suddenly decided to postpone the ceremony.

On Qingyun Mountain, Back Mountain.

“Junior Brother, do you know why Jiang Qitian isn’t holding the apprenticeship ceremony anymore? (w)?()”

Underneath an ancient tree, Liu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yang and asked.

“You ask me, and I ask who? (w)?()”

Xiao Yang had already guessed the reason behind Jiang Qitian’s postponed ceremony.

After all, he had injured Jiang Qitian.

It seemed Jiang Qitian was not lightly wounded if the Qingyang Sword Sect was postponing such important matters.

Yet, the sect did not announce a new date for the ceremony.

Xiao Yang felt somewhat frustrated.

He had planned to reveal Jiang Qitian’s misdeeds publicly during the ceremony, making him a laughingstock before the world.

But who would have thought Jiang Qitian would suddenly call it off?

“Xiao Yang, what are we going to do?⊙(#?)_[(w.)]⊙? Let’s⊙#?⊙#? see the latest chapters#? complete chapters⊙(w)?()”

Long Chen, standing nearby, asked.

“What’s the rush? Jiang Qitian will eventually fall from grace; let him have a few more days in the sun. (w)?()”

Xiao Yang replied nonchalantly.

“Well, it seems we have no choice but to wait,” Long Chen sighed.

In the following days, Xiao Yang delved into the Wujidan Canon on Back Mountain.

Before long, Zhao Fan returned from his retreat at Hundred Herb Valley.

Zhao Fan had changed significantly.

His Five Element Titan physique had been enhanced through the Five Element Refinement Dan, making him even stronger.

Though still in the Qi Refining Realm, every move he made now carried unimaginable power from the Five Element Titan.

If Zhao Fan were to face Gui Rong again, he could obliterate him with a single punch—this master of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Now, it seemed that only a martial master at the Divine Martial Realm could overpower Zhao Fan.

Before long, two guests arrived on Qingyun Mountain.

It was Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang.

They were tasked with remaining at Qingyang Sword Sect.

Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang brought news that Jiang Qitian had gone into seclusion in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain and didn’t know when he would emerge.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but chuckle.

Jiang Qitian wasn’t really in seclusion; he was just off to heal in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Xiao Yang knew very well the might of his sword that day.

If Jiang Qitian hadn’t had the protection of the Qingyang Sword, he would have been slain in a single strike.

At this moment, while Qingyang Sword Sect had accepted three thousand new disciples, they were in dire need of pills and weapons.

Previously, Xiao Yang had secretly seized the medicinal pills Qin Fei had bought at the Heavenly Medical Sect at high prices.

Without the aid of these pills, the training speed of the newly accepted three thousand disciples would naturally be slow.

Qingyang Sword Sect only had sixty years.

They needed to cultivate countless sword masters within that time.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to hold onto the number one spot in the Jiazhi Grand Competition sixty years from now.

Xiao Yang learned from Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang that Qingyang Sword Sect wanted to purchase weapons from the Refining Sect and Divine Sword Manor.

Actually, the purchasing of pills and weapons had always been under Xiao Yang’s management before.

After his departure, Qin Fei had messed up plenty of matters.

Qingyang Sword Sect’s attempts to contact the Refining Sect and Divine Sword Manor hadn’t been smooth.

If Xiao Yang had still been around, none of this would have been a problem.

Moreover, Xiao Yang found out that Qin Fei, the Sect Holy Son, didn’t even guide them in their training.

Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang hadn’t seen Qin Fei in a long time.

They settled down on Qingyun Mountain.

Under Xiao Yang’s guidance, Lin Wangchuan finally broke through to the Divine Martial Realm.

While Song Qiang broke through to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

It wouldn’t be long before Song Qiang too would break into the Divine Martial Realm.

Xiao Yang also learned from them that Jiang Ting was currently residing on Qingyang Mountain; she hadn’t entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Xiao Yang was somewhat surprised by this.

After all, the Yuanwu Immortal Domain was the dream cultivation sanctuary that all practitioners in the Northern Region sought.

That Jiang Ting wouldn’t go in there?

“Senior Brother, I think Junior Sister still has feelings for you.”

On Back Mountain, under the ancient tree, beside the stone table, just after finishing his training, Song Qiang said to Xiao Yang.

“Maybe she had feelings for me once, but now, isn’t she all about Qin Fei?” Xiao Yang replied calmly.

“That dead eunuch Qin Fei can only be like a sister to Jiang Ting now!” Lin Wangchuan interjected as he plopped down on a stone bench.

“By the way, did Qin Fei use the Dragon Egg I gave him that day?” Xiao Yang asked out of curiosity.

The Dragon Egg was a valuable thing.

If Qin Fei really did seek out a divine doctor to swap for it, he might truly have a chance to make a comeback.

“Ah, that we don’t know.”

Both Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan shook their heads.

Inside, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but sneer. Could Qin Fei really hold himself back?

The three chatted a bit then resumed their cultivation.

Days passed quietly in this manner.

Under Xiao Yang’s guidance, both Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang made significant progress in their cultivation.

Song Qiang successfully took a step forward, breaking into the Half-Step Divine Martial Realm.

While Lin Wangchuan had completely solidified his cultivation level.

Lin Wangchuan became the second Divine Martial Realm warrior of the Qingyang Sword Sect after Qin Fei.

Among the younger generation, Lin Wangchuan’s cultivation and level were second only to Qin Fei.

Meanwhile, those who had entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain to train hadn’t been progressing as quickly as Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan.

Before long, Jiang Ting made her appearance.

Xiao Yang avoided meeting her at all.

But Jiang Ting refused to leave.

She said she was wrong.

She claimed she wanted to win Xiao Yang back.

Xiao Yang initially wanted to chase Jiang Ting away.

In his past life, he had treated her as if she were made of gold, fearing she would break or melt away.

He had been so good to her.

But how had she treated him?

She was all lovey-dovey with Qin Fei, not caring about Xiao Yang’s feelings at all.

Now that Qin Fei had become a eunuch and came back saying she was wrong, and I’m sorry.

However, just because she said sorry didn’t mean Xiao Yang would instantly reply, “That’s okay.”

Having lived a second life, Xiao Yang was absolutely unwilling to repeat past mistakes.

He wouldn’t forgive Jiang Ting.

But Long Chen was thrilled about Jiang Ting’s visit.

After all, she was his biological daughter.

So, when Xiao Yang wanted to dismiss Jiang Ting, Long Chen personally found her a place to stay on the mountain.

Xiao Yang was rendered speechless.

Long Chen was not in a hurry to reunite with his daughter.

Thus, Jiang Ting settled on Qingyun Mountain.

Every day, she would wait at the Back Mountain, hoping to see Xiao Yang.

She was relentless, wanting to touch Xiao Yang’s heart and win back his affection.

But Xiao Yang had genuinely moved on.

He had no desire for Jiang Ting anymore.

Xiao Yang avoided her like the plague.

Jiang Ting often spent whole days waiting at the entrance of the Back Mountain.

Her self-indulgent persistence seemed extremely childish in Xiao Yang’s eyes.

Way too childish.

Because not every apology could simply exchange for a “that’s okay.”

The damage was done; how could it possibly be “that’s okay”?

In this life, Xiao Yang was absolutely never going to reconcile with Jiang Ting.

Half a month later.

In the Demon Abyss, on the altar, Qin Fei shouted in anger, “Today I break into Half Saint…”

Within the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, atop a mountainside.

Jiang Qitian also emerged from seclusion.

At that very moment, an envoy from the Immortal Gate came knocking.

It was a white-clothed elder with an ethereal air.

“Son of the Immortal Gate Traitor, surrender peacefully and return with me to face judgment. Resist, and you will be killed on the spot!”

The newcomer aimed to seize Xiao Yang directly.
