Chapter 164:
Xiao Yang and Qin Fei, sworn brothers with a deep bond?
That was impossible.
No one knew that Qin Fei was an undercover agent of the Demonic Sect.
No one knew that Qin Fei was, in fact, the mysterious young master of the Demonic Sect.
But Xiao Yang knew.
However, he wouldn’t expose Qin Fei’s identity.
For one, he had no evidence. Words alone wouldn’t be enough.
Everyone believed in Qin Fei—no one would believe him.
Even if he somehow found evidence proving that Qin Fei was a spy, Jiang Ting and the others would likely think he was framing Qin Fei.
Secondly, he wouldn’t just kill Qin Fei outright.
He could kill him now if he wanted to.
But he wouldn’t.
Because that would be too easy.
Xiao Yang wanted Qin Fei to experience every bit of the suffering he had endured in his past life.
He wouldn’t let Qin Fei die so easily.
When Ning Shu declared that Qin Fei only had a few days left to live, the first thought in Xiao Yang’s mind was that Qin Fei absolutely wouldn’t die.
Qin Fei was acting again.
But this time, he was even willing to risk his life for his performance.
There had to be something bigger behind this.
Xiao Yang was curious to see exactly what Qin Fei was up to this time.
“You unfilial son! Look at what you’ve done!”
Xiao Zhanshan and the others assumed Qin Fei had coughed up blood because of Xiao Yang’s provocation.
Xiao Yang had exposed every bit of humiliation Qin Fei had suffered—being the third party in a relationship, being castrated, being violated by two brutes from the Demonic Sect.
For Qin Fei, this was a nightmare.
It was an absolute disgrace.
How could such shameful things be revealed in public?
How was Qin Fei supposed to face anyone now?
What they couldn’t imagine was that the real reason Qin Fei was coughing up blood wasn’t because of humiliation.
It was because of the birthday gift Xiao Yang had given him.
Ming He and Yin Yue had been his protectors, his most trusted confidants.
Li Kuangtu was his cousin.
Yet Xiao Yang had killed them all—and even sent their heads as birthday presents.
Qin Fei was so furious his lungs were about to explode.
These were his most loyal subordinates!
Yet he couldn’t do anything about Xiao Yang.
“Well then, all of you should stay by Little Junior Brother’s side and accompany him through his final days.”
Xiao Yang said calmly.
Back when he had faked his own death, his parents and sister only cared about their cultivation resources.
Now that Qin Fei was supposedly dying, they finally showed signs of grief.
How ironic.
When their own son had died, they had only shed a few tears.
But now that Qin Fei, just an adopted son with no blood relation, was dying, they were devastated.
In their eyes, an adopted son mattered more than their own flesh and blood.
Having lived another lifetime, Xiao Yang had long since become indifferent to his parents and sister.
No one had expected that the birthday banquet Jiang Ting had prepared for Qin Fei would end up like this.
“When Little Junior Brother dies, let me know. I’ll be there to send him off.”
Xiao Yang said as he turned and walked away.
The crowd immediately parted, making way for him.
“This unfilial son…!”
Xiao Zhanshan was seething with rage.
Just moments ago, he had been proud to be Xiao Yang’s father.
Xiao Yue had just called him the pride of the Xiao family.
But the moment Qin Fei fainted, they all turned on him.
Their faces changed too quickly.
Xiao Yang sometimes even doubted whether he was truly their biological son.
With Qin Fei unconscious, the banquet could no longer continue.
Jiang Ting looked at Qin Fei, tears streaming down her face in panic.
They hurriedly carried Qin Fei into a guest room at the City Lord’s Mansion.
Xiao Yang stepped out of the banquet hall.
Standing at the top of the steps, he took a deep breath.
Thinking back to the moment when Qin Fei coughed up blood from sheer rage, he felt utterly satisfied.
He knew Qin Fei wouldn’t let this go.
But so what?
If trouble comes, I’ll handle it.
What he was curious about was what kind of scheme Qin Fei was brewing this time.
He had spent a thousand years fighting against Qin Fei in his previous life.
No one knew better than him just how cunning and deceitful Qin Fei was.
“Brother, you’re leaving just like that?”
At that moment, Luo Feng caught up with him.
“Hmm?”
Xiao Yang raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“Holy Son, Brother…”
“Senior Brother…”
Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang also stepped out from inside.
“Why don’t we find a place to have a few drinks?”
Luo Feng suggested.
“And this is…?”
Song Qiang looked at the chubby, well-dressed man in front of him. He didn’t recognize Luo Feng.
“I am Luo Feng of the Luo family from Nine Heavens City.”
Luo Feng quickly introduced himself.
“The Luo family?”
Both Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan were taken aback.
The Luo family of Nine Heavens City was second only to the Li family.
They never expected this plump man in front of them to be from such a powerful family.
“You’re a local here, right? Do you know any good places to have fun?”
Lin Wangchuan asked eagerly.
“I know just the place. Their wine is the best in all of Nine Heavens City. Come with me!”
Luo Feng said as he led the way.
Xiao Yang and the others followed along.
They left the City Lord’s Mansion and followed Luo Feng to the front of the Xiaoyao Inn.
Xiao Yang was slightly surprised. Was the wine from Xiaoyao Inn really that good?
After all, he had been staying there.
However, when they arrived, they found that the inn was closed.
“What’s going on? Could it be…”
Xiao Yang immediately thought of Li Kuangtu’s death.
Li Kuangtu had died at Xiaoyao Inn.
That was no small matter.
Clearly, the Xiaoyao Palace had already discovered Li Kuangtu’s identity. Otherwise, the inn wouldn’t have shut its doors.
“Sigh, looks like we’ll have to go to Lan Yue Tower.”
Luo Feng sighed.
So, he led Xiao Yang and the others to the entrance of Lan Yue Tower.
The building was grand, with two majestic stone lions guarding its entrance.
People came and went in droves, and inside, the main hall was bustling with excitement.
“A place of indulgence? A land of pleasure and entertainment?”
Xiao Yang frowned slightly at the sight.
“Hehe, Lan Yue Tower recently held a courtesan selection. I heard the new top courtesan has excellent dancing skills.”
Luo Feng chuckled.
He had been locked up in a small dark room by his father for a while and had missed the grand event at Lan Yue Tower. He regretted it deeply.
“So this is a brothel? Sounds fun!”
Lin Wangchuan was full of curiosity.
Xiao Yang hadn’t expected Luo Feng to take them to a brothel.
It was his first time stepping into such a place.
Luo Feng led them straight inside Lan Yue Tower.
“Well, well, what kind of wind has blown the esteemed Young Master Luo to our humble Lan Yue Tower today?”
A mature woman with a charming demeanor gracefully walked out to greet them.
“Enough with the nonsense. Bring out your best wine, best dishes, and best girls for us.”
Luo Feng said loudly.
“Understood, everything will be arranged immediately!”
The madam smiled and waved over a waiter.
This was a big spender!
The waiter quickly went to make arrangements.
Luo Feng seemed quite familiar with Lan Yue Tower. He dismissed the madam and personally led Xiao Yang and the others to a private room on the second floor.
They had barely sat down when the dishes were served.
The finest wine—Immortal’s Drunken Bliss.
The best dishes—all the signature specialties of Lan Yue Tower.
And, of course, the finest woman—the newly crowned courtesan.
Luo Feng had been eager to meet her for a long time.
The moment she entered the private room, a faint fragrance filled the air.
In the next instant, everyone felt a sudden wave of dizziness.
Luo Feng immediately collapsed to the ground.
“What…”
Xiao Yang, Song Qiang, and Lin Wangchuan were all stunned.
Song Qiang fell unconscious.
Lin Wangchuan swayed, barely able to stand.
“What a powerful sedative…”
Xiao Yang muttered as he pretended to faint, slumping over the table.
“Hmph, you walked right into my trap, Xiao Yang! Never thought you’d fall into my hands, did you?”
The veiled courtesan, dressed in a sheer gown, sneered coldly.
Xiao Yang, still feigning unconsciousness, quickly activated the Lunar Dragon Pearl’s power to neutralize the drug in his system.
“It’s her?”
The moment he heard the woman’s voice, he was utterly shocked.
That voice…
It was identical to Mo Hongyue’s.
Could she really be Mo Hongyue?
Xiao Yang was completely taken aback.
Mo Hongyue was one of the most formidable assassins of the Demonic Sect.
He had nearly died at her hands before.
Now, hearing her voice so unexpectedly sent chills down his spine.
The courtesan of Lan Yue Tower… was Mo Hongyue?
Who could have imagined that?
Mo Hongyue had been hiding inside Lan Yue Tower all along.
And this was Nine Heavens City.
She was incredibly bold.
Was she not afraid of being exposed and hunted down by the powerful cultivators of Nine Heavens City?
Even as a Divine Martial Realm powerhouse, she wouldn’t be able to escape from here if she were discovered.
Wait…
If Mo Hongyue was here, did that mean Lan Yue Tower was actually a secret stronghold of the Demonic Sect in Nine Heavens City?
Xiao Yang’s mind reeled at the realization.
