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

Chapter 136:

“Senior Brother… I’m sorry…” Jiang Ting looked at Xiao Yang with a complex expression, hesitant to speak further.

Faced with the choice given by Ming He, she didn’t pick Xiao Yang, the senior brother who had grown up with her like a childhood companion. This surprised everyone.

Everyone in Azure Sun Sword Sect knew how much Xiao Yang adored Junior Sister Jiang Ting. It was no secret.

But Qin Fei had only joined the sect ten years ago.

Over the past few years, everyone had noticed how close Jiang Ting and Qin Fei had become, and they also knew how much this had bothered Xiao Yang. He had been jealous, and they had often quarreled about Qin Fei. However, it was always Xiao Yang who compromised first, always the one to appease Jiang Ting.

“Junior Sister, Senior Brother treats you so well! How could you choose that Qin guy?” Lin Wangchuan couldn’t help but scold Jiang Ting.

Song Qiang also found it hard to believe.

Senior Brother had always spoiled Jiang Ting, yet she didn’t choose him. This was a matter of life and death! Choosing Qin Fei meant letting Senior Brother die, as Ming He had said he would only release one person and provide only one antidote.

However, no one knew that Qin Fei had consumed the Nine Absolute Ice Soul poison, an incurable poison.

Ming He’s real intention was just to torment Xiao Yang, to let him experience the pain of being abandoned by the Junior Sister he had once cherished.

But he had miscalculated.

Xiao Yang no longer had feelings for Jiang Ting.

He didn’t see any pain or despair on Xiao Yang’s face.

Shouldn’t he be heartbroken, hysterical, or even enraged?

Instead, Xiao Yang looked calm, as if he had already anticipated this outcome.

Qin Fei had originally looked at Xiao Yang with a triumphant, taunting gaze, expecting to see him devastated. But unexpectedly, Xiao Yang simply said, “This is so boring… utterly pointless.”

“…”

Qin Fei, Ming He, and Yin Yue were all stunned.

Even Jiang Ting and the others were left in shock.

Was Senior Brother heartbroken to the point of losing his mind?

“Alright, when a show goes too far, it becomes meaningless.” Xiao Yang spoke indifferently.

“Miss Jiang, have you decided who you’re choosing?” Ming He stared at Xiao Yang coldly.

“I… I choose Qin Fei!” Jiang Ting finally uttered Qin Fei’s name.

Hearing her choice, Xiao Yang remained calm.

The woman he once treasured with all his heart no longer had any influence over him.

“Senior Brother, I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…” Jiang Ting murmured.

“You don’t have to apologize. You haven’t wronged me.” Xiao Yang looked at her calmly.

“Senior Brother, you’re stronger than Junior Brother…” Jiang Ting tried to explain.

“So, because I’m stronger, I deserve to die?” Xiao Yang asked coldly.

“No… that’s not what I meant…” Jiang Ting panicked, trying to explain.

“Enough, take him!” Ming He interrupted impatiently, shoving Xiao Yang toward Yin Yue while grabbing Qin Fei by the collar and tossing him to Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting hurriedly caught Qin Fei.

“The antidote will be given to you once we’re far enough away.” Ming He smirked and, along with Yin Yue, took Xiao Yang and soared into the sky, escaping the encirclement of the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

The four elders and disciples didn’t dare make a move.

“Here’s the antidote!”

From a distance, Ming He tossed a vial to Jiang Ting.

“If any of you dare to follow us, we’ll kill your sect’s Holy Son immediately!” Yin Yue’s voice echoed from afar.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as Ming He and Yin Yue took Xiao Yang away.

“Senior Brother…” Jiang Ting’s eyes reddened as she gazed in the direction they had disappeared.

The disciples of Azure Sun Sword Sect were frustrated beyond measure.

They had been completely played by those two demons.

Even worse, they had allowed their sect’s Holy Son to be taken away.

What a humiliation!

Jiang Qitian was so furious that he almost coughed up blood.

“From today on, the Azure Sun Sword Sect will be irreconcilable enemies with the Demon Sect!” Jiang Qitian clenched his fists and growled through gritted teeth.

“What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and think of a way to rescue your Senior Brother!” Jiang Qitian roared.

“…”

Everyone was speechless.

Think of a way?

How could they possibly save him from the hands of two powerful demon generals?

…

Ming He and Yin Yue brought Xiao Yang to a secluded valley near Jiuxiao City.

Yin Yue threw Xiao Yang to the ground.

“Xiao Yang, I bet you never imagined you’d die at my hands!” Yin Yue looked at him smugly.

Xiao Yang slowly stood up, brushing the dust off his clothes.

“Xiao Yang, I have to admit, you’re quite impressive. Even at death’s door, you remain so calm.”

Ming He sneered.
“What’s wrong? Got a problem?” Xiao Yang looked up at Ming He with a disdainful smile.

“Look at how considerate I am, choosing such a scenic place as your final resting ground.” Ming He glanced around and walked forward with a sinister grin.

“Stop wasting time and send him on his way already!” Yin Yue said impatiently.

“Xiao Yang, you can die now!” Ming He sneered and kicked towards Xiao Yang.

Suddenly, Xiao Yang reached out and grabbed Ming He’s leg.

“What…?” Ming He was stunned. He never imagined Xiao Yang could still react.

The next moment, the chilling sound of bones snapping echoed through the valley.

A blood-curdling scream tore through the night. Xiao Yang had twisted Ming He’s right leg into a mangled mess.

At that moment, Xiao Yang dropped his pretense.

“You… your cultivation wasn’t sealed?” Ming He’s face turned deathly pale, nearly fainting from the pain.

“What?” Yin Yue was equally shocked. She lunged forward with claw-like fingers, striking at Xiao Yang’s throat with lightning speed.

“Hmph!” Xiao Yang scoffed, swinging Ming He’s broken leg like a weapon, sending him crashing into Yin Yue.

Yin Yue’s claws landed squarely on Ming He’s backside, leaving five bloody holes.

The pain was so excruciating that Ming He nearly blacked out, cursing Yin Yue’s ancestors in his heart.

Yin Yue quickly retreated, while Ming He hit the ground hard.

“You weren’t just unsealed… you’re not even poisoned?” Yin Yue’s voice trembled with disbelief.

She had personally witnessed Xiao Yang swallowing the Nine Absolute Ice Soul poison—one of the three deadliest toxins in the world.

“Seal my cultivation? Haven’t you heard of the Meridian Shift Technique?” Xiao Yang said indifferently.

This technique allowed him to shift his meridians and acupoints at will, making their sealing attempts futile.

“You…” Ming He struggled to stand, his right leg now useless, forcing him to balance on his left.

“But you clearly swallowed the Nine Absolute Ice Soul!” Yin Yue fixed her gaze on Xiao Yang in shock.

“A mere Nine Absolute Ice Soul… do you think it can harm me?” Xiao Yang scoffed.

With a flip of his left hand, a chill spread from his palm, and a translucent, thumb-sized ice crystal formed in his grasp.

“The Nine Absolute Ice Soul… how…?” Yin Yue gasped in disbelief.

Never in her wildest dreams did she think Xiao Yang could expel the poison so effortlessly.

“This is good stuff… I think I’ll keep it for your dear young master to try.” Xiao Yang smirked, pulling out a small jade bottle, storing the crystal inside, and slipping it into his spatial ring.

The Nine Absolute Ice Soul was indeed one of the deadliest poisons, but Xiao Yang possessed the Lunar Dragon Pearl within his body—the nemesis of all toxins, including this one.

In his previous life, he had fought Qin Fei for a thousand years and knew the power of the Lunar Dragon Pearl all too well.

With it, he was immune to all poisons. Taking the Nine Absolute Ice Soul was as easy as eating candy to him.

Otherwise, who in their right mind would willingly ingest a lethal poison?

The only reason he fell into the fox demon’s trap back in Blackwind City was due to a potent sedative rather than a poison, which temporarily slowed the pearl’s effect.

“Since you wanted to put on a show, I’ll play along. But now that the show’s over, it’s time for you to leave this world.” Xiao Yang’s lips curled into a chilling smile.

“You… you really know…?” Yin Yue and Ming He paled in horror.

They had only suspected, but now it was confirmed.

Xiao Yang knew their identities. Worse yet, he knew Qin Fei’s true identity.

How was this possible?

Had their young master slipped up within Azure Sun Sword Sect? Impossible.

If Xiao Yang had truly known earlier, he would have exposed Qin Fei long ago.

Could he have discovered the truth only after leaving the sect?

Yin Yue’s scalp tingled with fear. This was a disaster.

Everything they had planned, all their efforts, were now wasted.

And if Qin Fei’s identity was revealed, he would meet a gruesome end.

Without hesitation, she abandoned Ming He and shot into the sky, trying to escape.

Swish!

A streak of sword light flashed.

Yin Yue’s head flew from her shoulders, and her lifeless body dropped to the ground.

Xiao Yang stood coldly.

Within ten steps, even if Yin Yue was at full strength, she wouldn’t have been able to escape.

Another demon general had fallen.

Seeing this, Ming He was scared out of his wits.

He frantically used an earth-escape technique, trying to burrow underground.

Xiao Yang stomped his foot hard on the ground.

BOOM!

The earth trembled and cracked, sending Ming He flying back up.

Xiao Yang stepped forward and stomped him to the ground.

“Weren’t you quite arrogant just now? Didn’t you think you had me all figured out? Thought you could send me to my grave?” Xiao Yang sneered, looking down at Ming He like he was nothing more than a helpless dog.

No matter how notorious Ming He was, at this moment, he was nothing more than a pest beneath Xiao Yang’s feet.

“Impossible… you’re at the Grand Martial Realm… how…?” Ming He stared at Xiao Yang in utter terror.

Not only did Xiao Yang know their identities, but he had also advanced to the Grand Martial Realm.

The young master was in danger.

“You can go now.” Xiao Yang said coldly.

“No… please… don’t kill me…” Ming He pleaded desperately.

Xiao Yang let out a cold laugh. With a thought, his sword moved at will, slicing through the air.

With a flash of sword light, Ming He’s head was severed cleanly.

“Who dares to commit murder within the territory of Jiuxiao City!”

A stern voice suddenly echoed behind Xiao Yang.
