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

Chapter 169:

Having lived another life, Xiao Yang had long since seen through his master, Jiang Qitian.

Who would have thought that the revered sect master of the Azure Sun Sword Sect was nothing more than a hypocritical pretender?

Xiao Yang knew that Jiang Qitian possessed a Universal Spirit Pill.

Because in his past life, Jiang Qitian had been poisoned by the Demonic Sect’s Absolute Death Pill—a poison that was supposed to be fatal with no cure.

The Absolute Death Pill, like the Nine Absolute Ice Soul, was one of the three deadliest poisons in the world.

Anyone poisoned by it was doomed to die.

But shockingly, Jiang Qitian had taken out a pill and swallowed it—

And just like that, he was perfectly fine.

Only later did Xiao Yang learn that the antidote Jiang Qitian had consumed was none other than the legendary Universal Spirit Pill.

Only such a miraculous pill could neutralize the deadliest poisons.

From the very start, Xiao Yang had known that Jiang Qitian would never use the Universal Spirit Pill to save Qin Fei.

And as expected, not only did Jiang Qitian refuse to take out the Universal Spirit Pill, but he even forced Qin Fei to consume the Ten Thousand Poisons Pill instead.

Jiang Qitian preached righteousness and benevolence on the surface, but in truth, he was utterly selfish.

In his past life, Xiao Yang had suffered terribly under Jiang Qitian’s manipulation.

But this time, the tables had turned.

Now, it was his turn to make Jiang Qitian suffer.

In the past life, Jiang Qitian had favored Qin Fei.

Hadn’t he wanted Qin Fei to be his son-in-law?

Fine. Xiao Yang had ensured that Qin Fei was turned into a eunuch.

So now, would Jiang Qitian still want Qin Fei as his son-in-law?

Watching Jiang Qitian force Qin Fei to take the Ten Thousand Poisons Pill, Xiao Yang felt immensely satisfied.

It was truly satisfying.

“Junior Brother, you must hold on! You must not die!”

Jiang Ting, her eyes brimming with tears, pleaded with Qin Fei.

“Senior Sister, for you, I will survive.”

Qin Fei gripped Jiang Ting’s hand, gazing at her with deep affection.

Xiao Yang sneered inwardly.

What a disgusting pair.

Right in front of everyone, they didn’t even bother to restrain themselves.

“Junior Brother, don’t give up!”

“Junior Brother, you can survive this!”

The disciples of the Azure Sun Sword Sect all encouraged Qin Fei.

“Xiao Fei, I believe in you.”

Xiao Zhenshan said solemnly.

“Xiao Fei, when you recover, I’ll make your favorite braised pork.”

Chen Ruolan said, eyes red with emotion.

“Brother Xiao Fei, you have to survive! You promised to help me find a good spiritual weapon!”

Xiao Yue’s eyes were also red.

Xiao Yang watched this scene from the sidelines, feeling nothing but cold indifference.

These were his own parents and his sister.

Yet, they treated Qin Fei, a mere adopted son with no blood relation, better than they ever treated him.

They had never once shown him kindness.

They only remembered his existence when he lacked cultivation resources.

But if Qin Fei needed something, they would rush to provide it without hesitation.

In his past life, they had drained him dry to nurture Qin Fei.

Now that Xiao Yang thought about it, it was ridiculous.

Utterly absurd.

In this life, he would stay far away from these people.

They still wanted to exploit him?

Dream on.

After the Grand Centennial Competition, he would no longer be a disciple of the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

Nor would he be a member of the Xiao family.

Four more days.

With that thought, Xiao Yang suddenly said to Qin Fei, “Junior Brother, you must survive. They’ll be relying on you from now on.”

“What?”

Qin Fei froze.

“You unfilial son! What nonsense are you spouting? Get out of here!”

Xiao Zhenshan roared.

“You think this is Yuanlong City? What right do you have to tell me to leave?”

Xiao Yang snapped back.

“You insolent brat! You dare act so arrogantly in front of your father?”

Xiao Zhenshan’s face twisted in anger as he was about to lash out at Xiao Yang.

“Aaahhhh—!”

At that moment, Qin Fei suddenly began convulsing.

“Quick! Get him to a quiet chamber!”

Ning Shu hurriedly ordered.

A group of people rushed to carry Qin Fei into the City Lord’s Mansion’s meditation chamber.

Jiang Qitian personally stood guard outside.

Even though Qin Fei had castrated himself, he still possessed an Innate Dao Body—one of the most powerful physiques in the cultivation world.

Jiang Qitian still valued him highly.

He didn’t want Qin Fei to die so easily.

Moreover, while the Ten Thousand Poisons Pill was a deadly poison, it also had a rare benefit—if Qin Fei survived, his cultivation would soar.

Qin Fei was already at the peak of the Heaven Martial Realm.

If he made it through this ordeal, he would likely break through to the pinnacle of the Heaven Martial Realm.

Jiang Qitian would then gain another powerful disciple.

Of course, that all depended on whether Qin Fei survived.

After all, this was the Ten Thousand Poisons Pill.

Survival was far from guaranteed.

Miserable screams echoed from within the meditation chamber.

Outside, everyone was tense.

Jiang Ting, in particular, was on edge, unable to sit still.

The other disciples of the Azure Sun Sword Sect were also deeply worried.

As for Xiao Zhenshan and his family, their concern was even greater.

If Qin Fei endured this, his cultivation would soar.

For the Xiao family, this would be an incredible advantage.

From then on, their family would have two prodigies in swordsmanship.

With Qin Fei’s strength, the Xiao family could continue relying on the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

Who would dare oppose them then?

Xiao Zhenshan’s ambitions were great.

He was not content with the Xiao family remaining a second-rate cultivation clan.

He wanted the Xiao family to rise even higher.

Xiao Yang, however, simply leaned against a pillar, watching these people coldly.

“Brother Xiao, you don’t have to worry. With Sect Master Jiang guarding him inside, he will surely keep your Junior Brother alive.”

Ning Shu walked over and spoke to Xiao Yang.

“I’m not worried about him. I’m just here to watch the show.”

Xiao Yang smirked.

“Uh… this…”

Ning Shu was momentarily taken aback. She had heard some rumors about Xiao Yang, Qin Fei, and Junior Sister Jiang Ting.

Now, it seemed the rumors weren’t baseless after all.

“If he dies, everything ends. If he survives, well… things in this world will become much more interesting.”

Xiao Yang gazed at the tightly shut doors of the quiet chamber, a smirk forming at the corner of his lips.

The agony of the Ten Thousand Poisons gnawing at the heart, a gamble with death—Qin Fei, you brought this upon yourself.

In my past life, I endured unbearable suffering.

In this life, I’ll return it to you tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

“What?”

Ning Shu couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind Xiao Yang’s words.

As Xiao Yang was about to look away, he noticed Jiang Ting staring at him and Ning Shu.

Her gaze seemed… strange.

“Time to go.”

Xiao Yang chuckled lightly, then turned and left.

“Senior Brother…”

Song Qiang approached.

“Brother Holy Son…”

Lin Wangchuan also stepped forward.

“Stop following me. We’ll meet on the Ascension Platform during the Grand Centennial Competition!”

Xiao Yang waved his sleeve and took a step forward—

In an instant, he disappeared.

“Holy Son…”

The Grand Elder hesitated but said nothing.

Li Fanyin watched the scene unfold, deep in thought.

Xiao Yang had left, but Xiao Zhenshan and the others remained silent.

Qin Fei was at a life-and-death juncture—

Yet Xiao Yang simply walked away.

To their fellow disciples, it seemed like Xiao Yang had no regard for the bonds of brotherhood.

But Xiao Yang didn’t care.

After the Grand Centennial Competition, he would leave the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

These people would no longer be his junior brothers and sisters.

The Xiao family of Yuanlong City would have nothing to do with him.

From then on, the Xiao family would have to rely entirely on Qin Fei.

Of course, Qin Fei’s loyalty to the Xiao family was nothing but a lie.

Having lived another life, Xiao Yang had already seen through everything.

That man was cunning, ruthless, and treacherous.

He was eager to see how the Azure Sun Sword Sect and the Xiao family of Yuanlong City would suffer under Qin Fei’s influence once he was gone.

Would they regret it when they saw Qin Fei’s true nature?

Xiao Yang left the City Lord’s Mansion.

At this moment, the City Lord was in seclusion, and his daughter, Li Fanyin, was in charge of everything.

The entire Nine Heavens City had been placed under martial law.

The city’s defensive formation was fully activated, running day and night.

The Demonic Sect was stirring, and the Ten Directions Sect had to remain vigilant.

Yet Li Fanyin remained unaware that her father was actually a spy for the Demonic Sect.

At this moment, Nine Heavens City was filled with hidden dangers.

No one knew where the remnants of the Demonic Sect were hiding.

But one thing was certain—

There were definitely many of them lurking within the city.

Otherwise, Xiao Yang wouldn’t have been repeatedly attacked by Demonic Sect remnants.

They were becoming bolder.

Nine Heavens City was the second stronghold of the Ten Directions Sect—an immensely important place.

For the Demonic Sect to attack Xiao Yang within this city was a blatant act of defiance.

Especially with the Grand Centennial Competition approaching.

Wasn’t this a direct slap in the face of the Ten Directions Sect?

Yet despite Li Fanyin’s best efforts, she had turned the entire city upside down but still found no trace of the Demonic Sect’s remnants.

…

Xiao Yang left the City Lord’s Mansion and walked along the bustling streets.

People moved about in streams, and patrols of Nine Heavens City soldiers could be seen everywhere.

Just then, a commotion broke out ahead.

A crowd had gathered to watch something unfold.

When Xiao Yang approached, he saw two people tied up with thick ropes, about to be taken away by the city’s guards.

“You old fool, how dare you impersonate Elder Lei of the Azure Sun Sword Sect?”

A middle-aged man in black armor sneered at an elderly man.

“And you—claiming to be the Holy Son of the Azure Sun Sword Sect, Xiao Yang? Why not just say you’re an immortal?”

The middle-aged man laughed mockingly.

In the crowd, Xiao Yang glanced at the two people and was left speechless.

Indeed, the two individuals being captured were Liu Qingyun and his beloved disciple, Ling Xian’er.

These two dared to flaunt their deception even within Nine Heavens City?

Ling Xian’er had disguised herself as a man and was pretending to be him—Xiao Yang, the Holy Son of the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

“Outrageous! Do you even know who we are? Do you know who he is? How dare you tie us up? You’ll regret this!”

Liu Qingyun shouted loudly.

“Old man, keep making noise, and I’ll cut out your tongue.”

The commander of the city guards glared at Liu Qingyun.

This man was the city’s garrison commander, possessing the cultivation of the early Heaven Martial Realm.

Liu Qingyun, on the other hand, was merely at the peak of the Divine Ability Realm.

In the commander’s eyes, Liu Qingyun and his disciple were nothing more than insects.

“You dare?”

Liu Qingyun fumed.

“Take them away. Throw them into the Black Prison.”

The commander ordered coldly.

“I told you, old man! We should’ve left! But no, you wouldn’t listen! And now look at us! You’ve ruined me!”

Ling Xian’er grumbled.

“What’s the point of complaining now?”

Liu Qingyun muttered bitterly.

The city guards immediately prepared to drag them away.

At that moment, Liu Qingyun’s eyes swept across the crowd and landed on Xiao Yang.

“Haha!”

Liu Qingyun suddenly burst into laughter.

“This old man has lost his mind?”

The onlookers were startled.

“Of course he’s gone crazy. Who wouldn’t lose it after being thrown into the City Guard’s Black Prison?”

“Yeah, the Black Prison is terrifying!”

The surrounding people whispered among themselves.

In Nine Heavens City, the Black Prison was regarded as a living nightmare.

“Son-in-law! Save me! Son-in-law, my disciple, your husband is here!”

Liu Qingyun suddenly shouted toward Xiao Yang.
