The ceremony for the Qingyang Sword Sect’s apprenticeship had shaken the entire Northern Region.
In recent days, the whole cultivation world in the Northern Region was buzzing about this grand event.
Those who received invitations from the Qingyang Sword Sect felt extremely honored.
In Qingyun City, the Xiao Zhenshan family received the news but felt despondent.
Having been kicked out of Yuanlong City, just finding a place to stay in Qingyun City felt like a blessing.
They no longer dared to seek out Qin Fei.
They missed the days when Xiao Yang was around.
With Xiao Yang, how glorious was their family?
The entire Yuanlong City was theirs.
Yet now, they could only huddle in a few rooms in Qingyun City, barely scraping by.
Just when they thought they would live out a mundane life, a group of black-clad figures stormed in and kidnapped them.
Days later, Zhao Rufen and the others discovered that the Xiao Zhenshan family had vanished.
At this point, Xiao Yang had already rushed to the Qingyang Sword Sect with Long Chen and Chen Taixu.
…
Qingyang Mountain was brimming with joy.
The apprenticeship ceremony at Qingyang Sword Sect was grandiose and serious.
However, just as the ceremony reached its climax, the atmosphere took a sharp turn.
Xiao Yang, alongside Chen Taixu and Long Chen, suddenly crashed the event.
Jiang Qitian, who had been reveling in his glory, immediately changed his expression.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene.
The elders of the Qingyang Sword Sect were particularly stunned, staring incredulously at Xiao Yang and his companions.
When Jiang Ting saw Xiao Yang, she abruptly stood up from her seat, looking at him with a complicated expression.
She just couldn’t understand why Xiao Yang was targeting her father repeatedly.
She couldn’t wrap her head around how it had come to this between them.
“Senior Brother…”
“Boss…”
Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan looked worriedly at Xiao Yang.
Their sect leader had made significant progress, breaking into the Half Saint realm!
Xiao Yang barging into the Qingyang Sword Sect was likely akin to a moth flying into a flame.
“Xiao Yang, what do you want?”
A furious shout came from the cloud platform.
Qin Fei glared fiercely at Xiao Yang, his nemesis.
“Qin Fei, it seems you still haven’t learned your lesson!” Xiao Yang replied, smirking at him.
“You…”
Qin Fei nearly went mad just thinking about how Xiao Yang had stolen spiritual herbs from him, broken his limbs, and dumped him into a muddy swamp for hours.
He had finally healed from Xiao Yang’s attack, but what frustrated him to the point of spitting blood was that even though it was Xiao Yang who had done it, no one believed him.
“Today I’m not here for you; you’d best stay out of my way,” Xiao Yang said coldly to Qin Fei.
This time, he genuinely wasn’t after Qin Fei.
Today, he was determined to ruin Jiang Qitian’s reputation.
“Then you’re specifically here for me.”
Jiang Qitian looked steadily at Xiao Yang.
“Indeed, you have some self-awareness,” Xiao Yang replied with a light chuckle.
Chen Taixu and Long Chen behind Xiao Yang glared angrily at Jiang Qitian.
Particularly Long Chen, who clenched his fists, trembling with rage, trying to suppress his anger.
His whole life had been wrecked by Jiang Qitian.
Years ago, he was full of ambition, seeking vengeance and justice.
He was meant for a brilliant future.
He was meant to marry his beloved junior sister.
He was meant to ascend to the position of sect leader.
However, everything had changed so swiftly back then.
His master died, and his junior sister married Jiang Qitian.
Jiang Qitian drew the Qingyang Sword.
Jiang Qitian took over as the sect leader of Qingyang Sword Sect.
Jiang Qitian had suddenly robbed him of everything when he was completely unprepared.
If it weren’t for Jiang Qitian, his master wouldn’t have died.
If it weren’t for Jiang Qitian, he wouldn’t have ended up so miserable.
If it weren’t for Jiang Qitian, his junior sister wouldn’t have tragically ended her life.
If it weren’t for Jiang Qitian, his daughter wouldn’t have identified a thief as her father.
Today, he would make Jiang Qitian pay the price.
Everyone was shocked looking at this former master-disciple pair.
The atmosphere between Xiao Yang and Jiang Qitian was tense.
“Xiao Yang, today is an important moment for my Qingyang Sword Sect. Don’t you dare cause trouble!”
Elder Ling Daochen stepped forward, speaking sternly to Xiao Yang.
“Ha ha… I’m here precisely to cause trouble. So what?” Xiao Yang laughed.
“Unbelievable! Xiao Yang, if you dare stir things up here, I, Lei Xuan, will not let you off!”
Lei Xuan emerged, glaring at Xiao Yang.
Now, Lei Xuan had taken over the Law Enforcement Hall after Lei Lie’s death at Qingyun Mountain.
After being sent packing by Ling Xian’er, he had long harbored resentment against both Ling Xian’er and Xiao Yang.
Zheng Fan was also glaring fiercely at Xiao Yang.
It was Xiao Yang who had ruined his flying sword, leaving him severely weakened.
“Lei Shidi, I’m here to cause trouble too. What are you going to do about it?”
Chen Taixu approached from behind Xiao Yang.
“This…”
Seeing Chen Taixu, Lei Xuan became somewhat cowed.
“No way, Uncle, why are you joining forces with this little brat?”
Ling Daochen said, annoyed.
“You’re the crazy ones!”
Chen Taixu retorted angrily.
The people of the Qingyang Sword Sect actually allowed a pretender like Jiang Qitian to become sect leader? They were completely out of touch with reality, utterly absurd!
“Jiang Qitian, you sent someone to hunt me down years ago, didn’t you?”
Long Chen’s voice rang from behind Xiao Yang.
“What?”
“No way…”
Those who understood Long Chen’s identity were utterly shocked.
Long Chen was Jiang Qitian’s senior brother!
Jiang Qitian actually sent someone to hunt down Long Chen?
“Senior Brother, you can talk nonsense all you want, there’s no way I would send someone to hunt you down!”
Jiang Qitian said coldly.
“Ha ha… Jiang Qitian, are you pretending now?”
Long Chen laughed in outrage.
Ever since he learned that Jiang Qitian was responsible for his master’s death and even sent people after him, he wished he could tear Jiang Qitian apart.
However, he understood that words alone wouldn’t suffice; he needed evidence to nail Jiang Qitian.
Xiao Yang had the proof.
This time, it was all but impossible for Jiang Qitian to escape disgrace.
He was eager to see how Jiang Qitian would turn it around.
“That’s outrageous! You dare disrespect the sect leader! Even if you’re the senior brother, you must face punishment!”
A voice shouted angrily as a figure stepped out.
This man was a Qingyang Sword Sect elder named Luo Zhen.
He was a brother to both Jiang Qitian and Long Chen, and also a trusted aide of Jiang Qitian.
“Luo Zhen Shidi, are you out of your mind? I’m no longer a member of the Qingyang Sword Sect,” Long Chen said dismissively.
“You…”
Luo Zhen’s face changed, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.
“Jiang Qitian, you might as well resign from your position as sect leader in front of everyone!”
Chen Taixu said suddenly, looking at Jiang Qitian with a sigh.
“I can’t believe you’re just letting this Jiang go?”
Xiao Yang said, a bit surprised at Chen Taixu.
“Alas, it’s a family scandal!”
Chen Taixu frowned, sighing.
Family scandal?
The crowd in the square immediately perked up.
Especially those like Luo Feixian and Lu Fusheng, who had come to witness the event, felt that something shocking was about to be revealed.
This trip to the Qingyang Sword Sect had been worth it.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qitian’s face darkened to the point that it might drip with water.
Qin Fei was excited.
If Xiao Yang and the others could take Jiang Qitian down from his position, wouldn’t he then be able to assume the role of sect leader early?
After all, during the ceremony for the Holy Son, Jiang Qitian had already passed his mantle to him.
If Jiang Qitian couldn’t be sect leader, wouldn’t it be Qin Fei’s turn?
At this moment, Qin Fei couldn’t wait for Jiang Qitian to suffer misfortune.
But he also knew too well that Jiang Qitian was exceptionally shrewd, making it no easy feat for Xiao Yang and the others to topple him.
In truth, no one understood just how formidable Jiang Qitian was better than Xiao Yang.
Having lived two lives, Xiao Yang had never encountered anyone as deep and evasive as Jiang Qitian.
Moreover, this guy had absolutely no shame.
Even back during the last Holy Son ceremony, where he’d lost all face, he still continued to be the sect leader of Qingyang Sword Sect.
However, this time, Jiang Qitian wouldn’t be so lucky.
“Great Uncle, you’re old now, and your brain is failing you; just go to the back mountain for quiet contemplation. Don’t meddle in sect affairs.”
Jiang Qitian said in a deep voice.
“Jiang Qitian, if you resign on your own, you can at least save some face. If not, the consequences will be serious.”
Xiao Yang said, looking at Jiang Qitian with a half-smile.
“Xiao Yang, you ungrateful disciple! If not for me, where would you be today? This is no place for you to speak!”
Jiang Qitian shot a fierce glance at Xiao Yang.
“Jiang Sect Leader, are you suffering from amnesia? Have you forgotten about our wager? It clearly states that as long as I achieve first place in the qualifying match, I can leave the Qingyang Sword Sect.”
Xiao Yang declared loudly.
The audience erupted, for everyone knew about Xiao Yang and Jiang Qitian’s wager.
“Because I took first place in the qualifying match, the Qingyang Sword Sect became the top sect in the Northern Region.”
“Because I took first place, the Qingyang Sword Sect was able to establish a presence in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.”
“Because I took first place, the Qingyang Sword Sect enjoys this grand occasion today.”
With every word, Xiao Yang made it resonant among the crowd.
“If it weren’t for my efforts in the qualifying match, if I hadn’t secured first place, would you have all you have today? Isn’t that enough?”
Xiao Yang got more and more passionate.
“You…”
Jiang Qitian was both shocked and furious.
“I, Xiao Yang, owe nothing to the Qingyang Sword Sect, nor do I owe anything to you, Jiang Qitian.”
As Xiao Yang finished, his blood boiled with fervor.
The venue fell silent.
Everyone felt that Xiao Yang was absolutely right.
Xiao Yang truly owed Jiang Qitian nothing.
“Senior Brother, what you owe me, when will you repay?”
At that moment, an abrupt voice sounded.
Xiao Yang turned his gaze toward the sound.
He saw Jiang Ting, her eyes red, looking at him with sorrow.
“Jiang Ting, I, Xiao Yang, believe I owe you nothing.”
Xiao Yang replied flatly.
“You owe me nothing? You promised to marry me. You said you wouldn’t leave me. You promised to take good care of me. And now? What are you doing now? You haven’t fulfilled a single one of your promises.”
Jiang Ting accused him word by word.
“Ha ha…”
Hearing this, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?”
Jiang Ting was taken aback.
“Jiang Ting, how have you treated me? When I was injured, you were with your little junior brother Qin Fei. On my birthday, you were still with your little junior brother Qin Fei. The elixir I went through hell to find for you, you instantly gifted it to little junior brother Qin Fei. When I needed you, you were always with your little junior brother Qin Fei. How could you even have the face to say what I owe you?”
Xiao Yang was laughing out of anger.
“This…”
The crowd in the square was utterly dumbfounded.
Everyone was shocked; the scandals from Qingyang Sword Sect were being revealed one after another!
“Scum girl!”
Ye Ling’er looked disdainfully at Jiang Ting.
This scum girl actually dared to betray her master Xiao Yang—what utter nonsense!
However, this scum girl was really blind, falling for that wimp Qin Fei and dumping Xiao Yang.
Ning Shu, Li Chenyu, and Li Fan Yin couldn’t believe the complex love triangle involving Xiao Yang, Jiang Ting, and Qin Fei.
They all thought Jiang Ting must be really blind.
Jiang Ting’s face turned pale, on the verge of collapse.
“No… that’s not how it is…”
Jiang Ting muttered.
“Senior Brother, let me explain…”
Jiang Ting hurriedly said.
At this point, everyone’s gaze towards Jiang Ting had changed.
Who would have thought Jiang Ting was actually a two-timer scum girl?
