After Being Reborn, I Refuse To Be The Holy Son Of The Sect Anymore

Chapter 163:

At Qin Fei’s birthday banquet, Xiao Yang presented him with three severed heads.

The shocking spectacle left everyone stunned, and Qin Fei was so enraged that he coughed up blood on the spot.

The three heads that Xiao Yang gifted him belonged to his two personal protectors and his cousin.

Qin Fei stared at the heads inside the wooden boxes, his eyes filled with murderous rage.

The crowd, however, thought Xiao Yang had avenged Qin Fei, assuming he was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Only Xiao Yang knew just how furious, how hateful, and how much Qin Fei wanted to kill him.

But Qin Fei didn’t dare.

He was an undercover agent of the Demonic Sect, its young master—he couldn’t risk exposing himself.

So he had no choice but to endure it.

“The remnants of the Demonic Sect deserve death! Well done!”

Blade God Huang Tian declared loudly.

“Indeed! The Demonic Sect’s remnants are utterly devoid of humanity, not even worthy of being called people. Holy Son, this was a great gift!”

The Grand Elder spoke with a righteous air.

The older generation of martial cultivators present were all thrilled and excited.

Five hundred years ago, the Azure Cloud Sect’s tragic downfall had been orchestrated by the Demonic Sect.

On a dark and stormy night, the Demonic Sect launched a full-scale assault on the Azure Cloud Sect. With the help of their spies on the inside, they wiped out every last member of the sect.

Only a few disciples who had been traveling outside the sect survived.

The carnage that night on Azure Cloud Mountain could only be described as a massacre beyond words.

The Demonic Sect had shown no mercy, slaughtering even the elderly, women, and children.

There was a reason why the Demonic Sect had become the sworn enemy of the Northern Region.

Now, Xiao Yang had slain two of its great figures—Ming He and Yin Yue—and even killed Li Kuangtu, a powerhouse who was half a step into the Divine Martial Realm.

The crowd was both astonished and deeply impressed.

At this moment, Xiao Yang had become a demon-slaying hero in their eyes.

“You unfilial son, you’ve finally done something right!”

At that moment, Xiao Zhanshan’s voice rang out.

The large crowd had blocked their way, and only now had his family managed to push their way inside.

“Yang’er, you are the pride of the Xiao family!”

His mother, Chen Ruolan, said proudly.

“Big Brother, you’re amazing! You truly live up to being a great son of the Xiao family!”

Xiao Yue exclaimed excitedly.

Xiao Yang, however, paid no attention to his biased family.

Now, they suddenly remembered he was the pride of the Xiao family?

Now, they acknowledged him as a great son of the Xiao family?

Very soon, he would no longer be a part of the Xiao family.

He had already decided—when he won first place in the upcoming Grand Competition, he would publicly announce his departure from the Azure Sun Sword Sect and sever all ties with the Xiao family.

After the Grand Competition, he would cut off everything from his past.

After the Grand Competition, he would be free.

The people around them, however, were all shocked.

So Xiao Yang was actually the son of Xiao Zhanshan, the head of the Yuanlong City Xiao Clan?

The Xiao Clan of Yuanlong City was merely a second-rate cultivation family, not even worth the attention of the powerful forces present.

And Xiao Yang had been sent to Azure Sun Mountain by his grandfather at a young age.

After his grandfather passed away, he rarely returned to Yuanlong City.

Although Xiao Yang had made a name for himself across the Northern Region after defeating Li Xingyao, not many people knew about his background.

Now that they realized he was Xiao Zhanshan’s son, their attitudes shifted instantly.

Xiao Zhanshan’s own cultivation wasn’t impressive—only at the Transforming Dragon Realm—but his son was Xiao Yang.

And, on top of that, Qin Fei, who possessed an Innate Dao Body, was also his adopted son.

This was a family with two prodigies.

Unfortunately, Qin Fei had been afflicted with the Blood Gu and wouldn’t live much longer.

Some people had already started thinking about how to cozy up to Xiao Zhanshan.

The cultivation world was just that cruel.

Only the strong were respected.

As for the weak?

They could go play in the dirt.

Before they knew Xiao Yang’s identity, nearly everyone at the banquet had ignored Xiao Zhanshan.

But the moment they learned he was Xiao Yang’s father, their attitudes shifted completely.

Xiao Zhanshan, at this moment, was feeling quite proud.

Xiao Yang was his son, and tonight, Xiao Yang had brought him immense glory.

Xiao Yang, however, simply smiled and stepped forward, patting Qin Fei on the shoulder.

“Little Junior Brother, why the long face? Smile a little!”

“Little Junior Brother, you should learn to face adversity, to embrace hardship, to confront life head-on. We must believe that tomorrow will be better.”

“Little Junior Brother, you like Little Junior Sister, don’t you? Why didn’t you just tell me? I would have helped bring you two together! There was no need to sneak around as the third party in someone else’s relationship.”

“Although you have… well, castrated yourself with a blade, that’s fine. You and Junior Sister have such a deep bond. Even if you can’t be husband and wife, you can still be sisters, right?”

“Little Junior Brother, life is never smooth sailing. You were born with an Innate Dao Body, with a boundless future ahead of you. The trials you are facing now are simply heaven’s way of tempering you.”

“Don’t lose heart, don’t bow to fate. As the saying goes, ‘When Heaven bestows a great mission upon someone, it first tests their will, exhausts their body, starves their flesh, and leaves them in distress.’”

“You must learn to face life with a smile, understand?”

“Hahaha…”

As Xiao Yang spoke, he couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

The crowd was completely dumbfounded by his outrageous speech.

And the shocking revelations he casually dropped… each one was more explosive than the last.

Qin Fei… had castrated himself?!

Everyone was dying of curiosity.

He had actually done it?

Why would Qin Fei do such a thing?

What could have possibly driven him to give up being a man altogether?

And on top of that, he had been the third party in someone else’s relationship?

Had he actually meddled in Xiao Yang’s relationship with Junior Sister Jiang Ting?

“Ugh!”

Qin Fei trembled violently, unable to contain his fury any longer.

A mouthful of blood surged up his throat, and this time, he couldn’t swallow it back down—he spewed it out in a great spray and collapsed unconscious.

“Sigh, my Little Junior Brother is still too young. His mental resilience is too weak—he’s already coughing up blood. He really lacks experience.”

Xiao Yang sighed dramatically.

“Little Junior Brother…”

Jiang Ting immediately hugged Qin Fei. “Saintess Ning, hurry and save him!”

Ning Shu quickly stepped forward to check Qin Fei’s pulse.

The surrounding crowd was thrown into chaos.

Previously, only the members of Azure Sun Sword Sect knew that Qin Fei possessed an Innate Dao Body.

But now, thanks to Xiao Yang’s relentless shocking revelations, everyone was aware that the Azure Sun Sword Sect had a disciple with an Innate Dao Body.

However, the fate of this so-called “chosen one” was beyond bizarre.

Not only had he been forcibly violated by two burly men from the Demonic Sect, but he had also castrated himself with a blade. And on top of that, he had been the third party in someone else’s relationship.

Xiao Yang’s revelations were simply too explosive.

“You unfilial son, why are you provoking Xiao Fei?”

Xiao Zhanshan roared angrily.

“Which eye of yours saw me provoking Little Junior Brother? I was enlightening him, helping him move on from the trauma of being assaulted by those two disgusting brutes from the Demonic Sect.”

Xiao Yang replied with a completely serious face, spouting nonsense with conviction.

“Besides, castrating oneself isn’t shameful or embarrassing. The only thing that’s truly embarrassing is if he himself thinks it is. What’s wrong with Little Junior Brother cutting himself off? Huh? Huh? It’s not like I did it.”

Xiao Yang accidentally blurted out his true thoughts.

“Hmm?”

Everyone instantly turned to stare at him.

“Uh… haha, no, what I meant was, I was just trying to encourage him, help him be strong and move on. I mean, he’s already a eunuch now, so what else can he do, right?”

Xiao Yang could barely suppress the grin on his face.

“You…”

Xiao Zhanshan was so furious he couldn’t even form words.

“…”

The crowd, upon hearing this, found that Xiao Yang actually made some sense.

Jiang Ting glared at Xiao Yang in anger.

Senior Brother had never liked Qin Fei and had always targeted him. What was going on tonight?

Xiao Yang seemed like a completely different person.

Since when was he so kind-hearted?

The other members of Azure Sun Sword Sect were also filled with suspicion.

Especially Song Qiang, Lin Wangchuan, and the others.

Senior Brother’s attitude toward Qin Fei tonight was a complete shift.

However, to outsiders who didn’t know the truth, Xiao Yang was Qin Fei’s senior brother and sworn brother.

Xiao Yang had avenged Qin Fei by killing the remnants of the Demonic Sect. That was perfectly reasonable.

So, to those people, it seemed like Xiao Yang and Qin Fei had a brotherly bond—so deep and touching.

But in reality, Qin Fei wasn’t coughing up blood from joy or excitement.

He was so enraged by Xiao Yang that he passed out.

“The Blood Gu has begun acting up. He won’t last more than a few days.”

At that moment, Ning Shu withdrew her hand from Qin Fei’s pulse point, sighed deeply, and her expression darkened.

“What…?”

Everyone was shocked.

“Little Junior Brother… only has a few days left?”

Jiang Ting was on the verge of collapse.

“Xiao Fei, how pitiful!”

Chen Ruolan sobbed.

“Brother Xiao Fei…”

Xiao Yue choked up, unable to speak.

Xiao Zhanshan’s face was full of sorrow.

Everyone from Azure Sun Sword Sect looked despondent.

Xiao Yang, however, sneered in his heart.

I’d love to see how you keep acting, Qin Fei.

There’s no way I believe you don’t have a backup plan.

There’s no way I believe you’re actually going to die.

Everyone here is being played for fools by you.

Qin Fei… you’re truly impressive.
