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

Chapter 149:

The lights of Jiuxiao City lit up as night fell.

The streets were bustling with people coming and going, creating a lively and vibrant scene.

Inside the Carefree Inn, Xiao Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.

At that moment, a flash of cold light broke through the window and shot straight toward Xiao Yang.

With a swift motion, Xiao Yang extended his right hand and caught the cold light in an instant.

It was an arrow, an ice arrow glowing with a frosty light.

Attached to the ice arrow was a small jade talisman.

“A sound-transmitting jade talisman?”

Xiao Yang tore the jade talisman off the ice arrow and crushed the arrow in his hand with a slight force. The ice arrow shattered instantly, scattering ice shards onto the bed.

At this moment, the sound-transmitting jade talisman in Xiao Yang’s hand began to glow.

“Xiao Yang, your parents and younger sister are in my hands. Come to Shilipo outside Jiuxiao City at midnight tonight. If you’re late, don’t blame me for tearing the tickets and leaving.”

A cold and sinister voice emanated from the jade talisman.

“You say my parents and sister are in your hands? Really in your hands?”

Xiao Yang’s expression turned serious. He remembered that in his previous life, an assassin from the demonic sect had infiltrated Jiuxiao City to assassinate him, and he had almost fallen for their trap.

However, in this life, instead of encountering an assassin, he received news that his parents and sister had been kidnapped.

There was no need to ask—this had to be the work of remnants of the demonic sect.

Currently, he had only one enemy—Qin Fei.

And only Qin Fei wanted him dead.

“I know you don’t believe me, so let me let you hear their voices.”

The cold, sinister voice sounded again from the jade talisman.

In the next moment, chaotic noises came from the jade talisman.

Then, his father, Xiao Zhenshan, shouted, “Ungrateful son, are you not coming to save us? Do you want us to die?”

Even in this situation, his father was still scolding him.

“Yang’er, please come and save your mother!”

“Brother, if you don’t come to rescue us, we will die miserably. Can you bear that?”

His mother, Chen Ruolan, and younger sister, Xiao Yue, also spoke through the jade talisman, their voices filled with panic and fear.

“You heard them, right? Midnight tonight, Shilipo outside Jiuxiao City. Don’t be late!”

After the sinister voice finished speaking, the jade talisman in Xiao Yang’s hand dimmed.

“This is outrageous!”

Xiao Yang was furious.

The remnants of the demonic sect—they all deserved death!

He glanced at the sky and calculated that there were still more than two hours before midnight.

How could I go alone to save them?

Qin Fei, your foster parents and foster sister treat you so well. It’s time for you to repay them.

Xiao Yang had already guessed that this was Qin Fei’s doing again.

What surprised him was that Qin Fei had gone so far as to target his family this time.

In his previous life, he and Qin Fei had fought for a thousand years. No one knew Qin Fei better than he did.

As long as Xiao Yang remained the Holy Son of the Azure Sun Sword Sect and the sect master’s heir, Qin Fei would not dare to kill his parents and sister.

Because Qin Fei saw them as Xiao Yang’s weakness.

If they were gone, Xiao Yang would have no weakness left.

Then, how would Qin Fei threaten him?

In his previous life, Xiao Yang’s greatest weakness had been his junior sister, Jiang Ting.

This was why, after killing Xiao Yang in his previous life, Qin Fei targeted Jiang Ting and his family.

If Qin Fei wanted to play and watch the drama unfold from the shadows, Xiao Yang would not allow it.

In this life, no one would be able to exploit his weaknesses.

With this thought, Xiao Yang opened the door and walked out…

At this moment, the City Lord’s Mansion in Jiuxiao City was brightly lit.

A banquet was in full swing.

Under a large tree in the front yard of the City Lord’s Mansion, a figure stood in the shadows.

“Xiao Yang, oh Xiao Yang, I didn’t want to target your family so soon, but you forced my hand!”

The figure gritted his teeth and crushed the jade talisman in his hand before stepping out of the shadows.

It was Qin Fei.

He had recorded his voice on the jade talisman in advance and sent it to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang’s parents were actually imprisoned at Shilipo.

This way, no one would know that he had orchestrated the kidnapping of Xiao Yang’s parents and sister.

“Junior Brother, if you’re unwell, you should rest in your room. Why have you come to the banquet?”

At this moment, Jiang Ting walked out of the banquet hall and immediately spotted Qin Fei.

Her gaze toward Qin Fei carried a hint of sadness.

Qin Fei quickly suppressed his anger, replacing it with a smile.

“Senior Sister, the room was too stuffy. I wanted to take a walk, and I ended up here without realizing it.”

Qin Fei’s face was pale, and he appeared to be feigning weakness.

Their group had been staying in the guest rooms of the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Since you’re here, come inside with me!”

Jiang Ting reached out to support Qin Fei, and the two walked into the banquet hall together.

The banquet hall was magnificent, with intricate carvings and dazzling decorations.

Round tables covered with pristine silk cloths were adorned with a variety of exquisite dishes, steaming and fragrant.

Crystal-clear goblets held rich wines, while golden plates carried delicacies like dragon liver, phoenix marrow, bear paws, and venison. Seasonal fruits and vegetables added vibrant colors to the table, making the feast irresistible.

On either side of the hall, young and beautiful musicians played melodious tunes.

The musicians’ slender hands plucked guzheng strings and strummed pipa notes, producing enchanting music.

Flutes and drums complemented the melodies, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere of elegance and excitement.

Dancers in light, flowing costumes swayed gracefully to the music, their movements as ethereal as fairies descending to the mortal world. Their enchanting presence drew admiring gazes and praises from the guests.

Li Fanyin, the host, sat at the main table, smiling and raising her glass to toast the guests, showcasing her hospitality.

Among the attendees were not only the Azure Sun Sword Sect disciples but also Ning Shu, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, along with her disciples.

Prominent figures from the city had also been invited to the banquet, including the renowned Blade God Huang Tian and other influential leaders of the Ten Directions Strange Gates.

The guests engaged in lively conversations and cheerful toasts.

The disciples of the Azure Sun Sword Sect were awestruck by the grandeur of the banquet.

They found it fascinating, especially Lin Wangchuan, who curiously looked around and exclaimed in amazement.

For some, it was their first time venturing down the mountain.

Life on Azure Sun Mountain was monotonous, filled with rigorous cultivation. They had never experienced such lavish festivities.

It was just a meal, yet accompanied by music and dance performances.

They couldn’t help but marvel at the extravagant lifestyle of the Ten Directions Strange Gates.

When Jiang Ting and Qin Fei entered, the guests couldn’t help but admire them, exclaiming how perfectly matched they seemed.

“What a pity,” Ning Shu murmured, shaking her head as she looked at them. Qin Fei didn’t have much time left to live.

With her abilities, she could only temporarily suppress the blood gu in his body, delaying its activation.

In her opinion, Qin Fei was beyond saving.

The blood gu had already penetrated his bones and marrow. Even her master couldn’t save him.

Only the Universal Spirit Pill, capable of curing all poisons, could save Qin Fei.

However, even the Heavenly Medicine Sect and the Pill Cauldron Sect couldn’t refine the Universal Spirit Pill.

Moreover, one of its key ingredients could only be found in the Abyss of Demons.

The Abyss of Demons was the Northern Region’s most forbidden area. Who would dare venture there?

As soon as Jiang Ting and Qin Fei took their seats, a man hurriedly ran into the banquet hall and whispered something in Li Fanyin’s ear.

Li Fanyin’s face lit up with surprise and delight.

She immediately stood up.

“Everyone, please excuse me for a moment!”

With that, Li Fanyin left the banquet hall.

Soon, she returned with a guest.

“Holy Son?”

“Senior Brother?”

The Azure Sun Sword Sect’s Grand Elder, Cang Xiao, and the disciples were all shocked when they saw the person behind Li Fanyin.

None of them expected Senior Brother Xiao Yang to attend the banquet.

No one was more surprised than Li Fanyin herself.

When she had invited Xiao Yang at the market earlier, he had outright declined.

But now, here he was.

Why?

Xiao Yang would never come without reason.

There had to be a purpose.

Li Fanyin arranged for Xiao Yang to sit beside her.

Xiao Yang’s arrival caused a stir.

“Is he the Holy Son of the Azure Sun Sword Sect who defeated Li Xingyao?”

The guests whispered among themselves.

Even Ning Shu was delighted to see Xiao Yang.

After sitting down, Xiao Yang glanced at Qin Fei and said, “Junior Brother, you’re looking well. Has the blood gu been cured?”

Xiao Yang’s words instantly brought tears to Jiang Ting’s eyes, and she looked heartbroken.

The other disciples of the Azure Sun Sword Sect also appeared downcast.
