Chapter 357: Qin Fei Turns Out to Be the Young Master of the Demon Sect, Jiang Ting Regrets It Deeply!

Qin Fei suddenly returned to the Qingyang Sword Sect with Jiang Ting.

He aimed to become the Sect Leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

He had his eyes set on the resources behind the Qingyang Sword Sect.

At this moment, the Qingyang Sword Sect was no longer the same as before. It had become the top sect in the Northern Region and had already taken control of the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

What does that represent? No one knew better than Qin Fei.

He wanted to take charge of the Qingyang Sword Sect, to wield the power of the Northern Region’s foremost sect, and to harness the resources of the Yuanwu Immortal Domain to significantly enhance his cultivation.

He aimed to become the strongest being in the Northern Region, then break open the seal of the Demon Abyss, release the ancient demon clan, then use their strength to unify the world and become the strongest in the entirety of the Yuanwu Continent.

His ambition was immense.

So, he finally showed his true colors to Jiang Ting.

He captured Jiang Qitian and threatened Jiang Ting with him.

He wanted Jiang Ting to help him ascend to the position of Sect Leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

“There’s no one in the entire Qingyang Sword Sect more qualified than Qin Fei to be the Sect Leader!” Jiang Ting’s voice rang out, echoing in the ears of everyone present.

“What?”

The crowd of elders in the hall was taken aback.

Jiang Ting had a special identity; she was the daughter of Jiang Qitian, and the previous Sect Leader, Qingyang Zi, was her grandfather.

Although Qingyang Zi had fallen, many of his disciples still remained.

Transmission Elder Cang Xiao, Herb Valley Elder Qinglean, and Scripture Pavilion Elder Gufeng were all his disciples.

Qingyang Zi’s peers were now all elders of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Current Law Enforcement Elder Lei Xuan was also Qingyang Zi’s junior.

Now, Jiang Ting stood up to support Qin Fei, surprising everyone.

But as they thought of how well Jiang Ting treated Qin Fei, they understood.

“I’m still saying, only by drawing the Qingyang Sword can Qin Fei be qualified to be the Sect Leader of our Qingyang Sword Sect.” Ling Daochen looked at Jiang Ting and said sternly.

The other elders glared coldly at Qin Fei.

Without the Sword Origin Stone, how could Qin Fei possibly draw the Qingyang Sword?

The ceremony of drawing the sword was just an absolute farce that embarrassed the Qingyang Sword Sect.

They had to admire his courage to stand there after that.

“Haha…”

Suddenly, Qin Fei burst into laughter.

Everyone gazed at him in shock.

Jiang Ting stood beside him, her expression blank.

“If it weren’t for me, the sect’s treasure, the Qingyang Sword, would have long been snatched away by the Demon Sect. I took it back, which is a tremendous achievement for the sect! Plus, I have an Innate Dao Body, Half Saint cultivation, and have inherited the Sect Leader’s legacy. Who else is more qualified than me to sit in that position?” Qin Fei pointed loudly at the empty throne in the center of the hall.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed.

Outside the hall, countless inner and direct disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect had already gathered.

Lei Renjie, Zheng Fan, and the others were among them.

Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan had also rushed over upon hearing the news.

Qin Fei actually wanted to become the Sect Leader?

Song Qiang and the others were shocked.

Jiang Qitian’s fate was uncertain, and the Qingyang Sword Sect couldn’t be without a leader for a day.

Moreover, Jiang Qitian had been rendered unable to use his cultivation and had become a waste. Even if he returned, he could no longer be the Leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

All the elders believed Jiang Qitian was no longer fit to be the leader.

He initially intended to choose someone to act as the temporary leader.

Who would have thought Qin Fei would return so suddenly?

“Indeed, the Holy Son has made great contributions to the sect. Only he is qualified to be the Sect Leader of our Qingyang Sword Sect,” someone in the crowd outside exclaimed loudly.

“Yes, if it weren’t for the Holy Son, the sect treasure, the Qingyang Sword, would have been taken by the Demon Sect,” another person nodded in agreement.

“Who can match the Holy Son in terms of talent and cultivation?” many chimed in.

Soon, the emotions of countless Qingyang Sword Sect disciples outside the hall were intentionally stirred, and they began to voice their support for Qin Fei.

The faces of the elders inside the hall began to change.

“The sect rules cannot be broken. All the elders present have made contributions to the sect! I, Ling Daochen, have even killed a Demon Sect elder who came to attack our Qingyang Sword Sect. It means nothing. I’m still saying, only those who can draw the Qingyang Sword have the right to sit in the leader’s position.” Ling Daochen’s voice was filled with authority.

“This…”

The disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect outside the hall were taken aback.

“Exactly, only those who can draw the Qingyang Sword are qualified to become the Sect Leader of our Qingyang Sword Sect,” Law Enforcement Elder Lei Xuan added.

“Indeed!” Transmission Elder Cang Xiao nodded in agreement.

The rest of the elders echoed the sentiment.

This was the stance of the Qingyang Sword Sect’s council of elders.

“Alright, you want a sword draw, huh?”

Qin Fei swept his gaze over all the elders present.

He knew that as long as he couldn’t draw the Qingyang Sword today, he would never be able to become the Sect Leader.

Thus, he had to draw the Qingyang Sword to obtain everything he desired.

All eyes were on Qin Fei in the hall.

Jiang Ting’s face turned pale.

She looked at Qin Fei, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Back then, she chased after Qin Fei leaving Qingyang Mountain.

Who would have thought that after leaving, he would go directly to those from the Demon Sect?

Those people from the Demon Sect actually called Qin Fei ‘Young Master’.

Qin Fei was actually the Young Master of the Demon Sect.

He directly handed the deranged Jiang Qitian over to the Demon Sect people.

At that moment, Jiang Ting collapsed.

She could never have imagined that Qin Fei was an undercover agent sent by the Demon Sect.

She never expected that her kindness towards Qin Fei was met with betrayal, allowing him to capture her and hand her father, Jiang Qitian, to the Demon Sect.

At that moment, she finally understood Qin Fei’s true identity.

In that moment, she realized how foolish she had been.

She thought Qin Fei was a poor soul, an orphan bullied by others.

She had sympathized with him, felt pity, and treated him well, while distancing herself from Xiao Yang.

Now she realized how absurdly wrong she had been!

For such a demon, she had lost someone who had eyes only for her.

When Jiang Ting learned of Qin Fei’s true nature, she nearly went mad.

Her heart was breaking!

Qin Fei continued to use her father, Jiang Qitian, to threaten her.

With her father in Qin Fei’s hands, she had no choice but to comply with him.

Qin Fei saw value in the power behind Jiang Ting.

Wasn’t Jiang Qitian able to secure the position of Sect Leader so quickly back then because he had married Qingyang Zi’s only daughter, Jiang Ting’s mother?

Jiang Ting snapped back to reality.

She saw Qin Fei had already grasped the hilt of the Qingyang Sword.

The hall fell silent.

Everyone watched with bated breath as Qin Fei stood in the center.

If he truly drew the Qingyang Sword, he would become the Sect Leader.

Qin Fei slowly exerted force.

The Qingyang Sword in his hand showed no signs of moving.

“Haha… Didn’t I say, without the Sword Origin Stone, how could you possibly draw the Qingyang Sword?” Lei Xuan laughed loudly.

At that moment, all the elders let out a sigh of relief.

The Qingyang Sword isn’t something just anyone can draw.

Jiang Qitian was able to draw it without a Sword Origin Stone because he had spent over twenty years merging with the Qingyang Sword.

Although he had not fully mastered it, the sword no longer rejected him.

But how many times had Qin Fei even touched the Qingyang Sword?

In everyone’s eyes, without the Sword Origin Stone, there was no way Qin Fei could draw it.

Lei Renjie and Zheng Fan were anxious.

They were hoping that Qin Fei would become the Sect Leader so they could soar to new heights.

However, at that moment, Qin Fei revealed a cold smirk.

“Looks like I’ll have to disappoint you.”

With a sneer, the next moment—

“Clang!”

A sharp ringing sound echoed as the Qingyang Sword was pulled out half a foot.

Everyone in the hall felt a wave of heat wash over them.

“What…”

Ling Daochen and the others stared in disbelief at the Qingyang Sword in Qin Fei’s hand.

“Are you messing with us?” Lei Xuan glared angrily at Qin Fei.

“I’m just having fun with you; so what?” Qin Fei shot back coldly.

He continued to draw the sword, inch by inch pulling it from the sheath.

When the entire Qingyang Sword was finally drawn, the entire Qingyang Great Hall was illuminated with a crimson light radiating from the sword.

“I’m going to sit on this leader’s throne. Who dares to object?” Qin Fei declared triumphantly, his voice booming.

The elders in the hall fell silent.

Ling Daochen opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Lei Xuan looked at Qin Fei with a mix of surprise and anger.

“How is this possible…”

Outside the hall, Song Qiang was dumbfounded by the scene.

Lin Wangchuan was equally stunned.

They could never have imagined that Qin Fei was actually capable of drawing the Qingyang Sword.

As a result, no one dared to oppose Qin Fei anymore.

After the initial shock, Lei Renjie, Zheng Fan, and the others erupted in joy.

Inside the hall, Qin Fei stepped toward the central throne.

He paused at the base of the throne and then took a step up the stairs.

Everyone watched wide-eyed as Qin Fei ascended the nine steps.

They watched him turn around.

They watched as he gripped the Qingyang Sword and sat down on the leader’s throne.

Qin Fei sat proudly in the leader’s seat, surveying everyone.

“Lord Luo Zhen, paying respects to the Sect Leader!” Elder Luo Zhen stepped forward and bowed to Qin Fei.

Luo Zhen was originally Jiang Qitian’s confidant.

Now that Jiang Qitian had fallen, he needed to find a new backing, and seeing Qin Fei seated on the leader’s throne felt like an opportunity, prompting him to support Qin Fei eagerly.

The other elders looked at each other in disbelief.

“What’s this? The rules cannot be violated. Are you elders really going to flagrantly disregard the rules?” Qin Fei raised the Qingyang Sword high above his head.

The elders were taken aback, their anger rising.

Without the Sword Origin Stone, how had Qin Fei drawn the Qingyang Sword?

They couldn’t fathom it.

However, it was an undeniable fact that Qin Fei had pulled the Qingyang Sword before everyone’s eyes.

“Paying respects… Sect Leader…” Ling Daochen hesitated but eventually rose to bow before Qin Fei seated on the throne.

Other elders, seeing this, also had to stand and bow, acknowledging Qin Fei as the Sect Leader.

Jiang Ting stood silently in the hall, gazing at the exceedingly proud Qin Fei on the throne, her fists clenched tightly within her sleeves.
