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

Chapter 152:

Under the moonlit night, at Shilipo, in front of the ruined Daoist temple…

The leader of the kidnappers was utterly dumbfounded, frozen in disbelief.

She never imagined that Xiao Yang would appear, holding their young master like a dead dog, raising him in front of everyone as if he were a bargaining chip.

Qin Fei’s identity within the demonic sect was an absolute secret.

Even the leader’s subordinates had no idea who Qin Fei really was.

But she knew.

And now, Xiao Yang was using their young master to exchange for his parents and sister?

What was going on?

Silence fell over the area.

No one spoke.

Even the leader of the kidnappers didn’t know what to do.

“Ungrateful child, what are you doing?!”

Xiao Zhenshan’s furious voice broke the silence.

Qin Fei was his cherished foster son, yet Xiao Yang wanted to use him to negotiate their release? Had he gone mad?

“Is that Xiao Fei?”

Chen Ruolan, the mother, was equally shocked.

“Brother Xiao Fei?”

Xiao Yue, the younger sister, was stunned.

How did Xiao Yang bring Qin Fei here?

“Brother, why did you bring Brother Xiao Fei here?” Xiao Yue quickly asked.

“You were kidnapped. Isn’t he your cherished foster son and dear foster brother? Shouldn’t he come to rescue you?” Xiao Yang said calmly.

“You ungrateful child, put Xiao Fei down immediately!” Xiao Zhenshan roared.

Even in his perilous situation, he was more concerned about Qin Fei.

“Foster Father, Foster Mother, Sister, it’s okay. As long as I can save you, I’ll do whatever it takes,” Qin Fei said weakly, feigning vulnerability.

“Xiao Fei, what’s wrong with you?” Chen Ruolan asked worriedly.

“Yes, Brother Xiao Fei, why do you look so pale?” Xiao Yue echoed, her face full of concern.

“This…” Qin Fei hesitated, pretending to struggle for words.

“Let me tell you something,” Xiao Yang said, a faint smirk appearing on his lips. “Your cherished foster son has been afflicted with a blood gu. His days are numbered.”

“What?!”

Xiao Zhenshan and Chen Ruolan were shocked, their faces turning pale.

Xiao Yue was utterly stunned.

“That’s impossible…”

“How could this happen to Brother Xiao Fei…”

Xiao Yang observed the shock, sadness, and disbelief on the faces of his parents and sister. Yet, within his heart, he felt nothing.

From a young age, when had they ever shown sadness or worry for him?

When he was bullied as a child, his parents never stood up for him.

He recalled one time when he came home with his head covered in blood after being beaten. His parents had only looked at him with disgust, scolding him for being useless. They didn’t comfort him, stand up for him, or even treat his wounds.

From that day forward, Xiao Yang had understood—his parents didn’t care about him. He had to rely on himself.

“Xiao Yang, you’re using your junior brother to exchange for your parents and sister? Do you think I’m an idiot?” the leader of the kidnappers finally spoke.

Xiao Yang snapped out of his thoughts.

At this moment, beams of divine light appeared in the distant sky, rushing toward them.

Powerful waves of energy surged across the area.

“What the…”

The leader of the kidnappers was dumbstruck.

Her subordinates began to panic.

In the blink of an eye, countless figures descended from the sky, surrounding the Daoist temple on Shilipo.

“You dare bring so many people here?”

The leader glared at Xiao Yang in fury.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill them?” she yelled, her voice trembling with both anger and fear as she glanced at the strong cultivators surrounding them.

“Do you dare?” Xiao Yang asked, a mocking smile on his face.

At this moment, Li Fanyin and Huang Tian stepped forward.

The Grand Elder, Jiang Ting, Lei Renjie, and others descended from their sword light, landing one after another.

“How bold of you to cause trouble on the territory of the Ten Directions Strange Gates,” Huang Tian said coldly, stepping forward with his massive blade resting on his shoulder.

“Release the hostages immediately, or I’ll make sure you wish for death but cannot die,” Huang Tian growled.

“Release them? We don’t want to die either!”

The leader of the kidnappers was on the verge of breaking down.

She had set up an ambush here to kill Xiao Yang.

But she never imagined dozens of powerful cultivators would descend from the sky.

Among them, there were even several experts at the Divine Martial Realm.

All her meticulous plans were now in vain.

If her ambush had succeeded, she would have killed Xiao Yang, along with his parents and sister.

Qin Fei hated Xiao Yang to the core, wishing he could kill him and his entire family.

But Qin Fei’s primary target was Xiao Yang.

If Xiao Yang died, his parents and sister would lose their value as leverage.

However, as long as Xiao Yang remained alive, they were tools Qin Fei could use against him.

Now, given the overwhelming situation, killing Xiao Yang was no longer possible.

Looking at the scene, it seemed that the experts of Jiuxiao City had mobilized in full force.

At this point, the kidnappers could no longer think of themselves as the ones in control.

Under the moonlit night, at Shilipo, in front of the ruined Daoist temple…

Xiao Zhenshan and his family had now become the kidnappers’ lifeline.

Without these three “lifesaving cards,” the kidnappers were certain they’d be doomed.

“Everyone back off, or I’ll start killing!”

The leader of the kidnappers roared furiously at the crowd.

The black-clad subordinates pressed their daggers against the necks of Xiao Zhenshan and his family.

“Go ahead, kill them if you dare!”

Xiao Yang, still holding Qin Fei like a piece of baggage, stood unfazed.

“Senior Brother, let go of Junior Brother first!”

Jiang Ting stepped forward, reaching out to take Qin Fei from Xiao Yang’s grasp.

“Get lost!”

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang kicked Jiang Ting aside. He had no intention of being gentle with her.

“Senior Brother, how could you…”

Jiang Ting was in disbelief. She never expected Xiao Yang to treat her so ruthlessly.

“You ungrateful child! Do you even hear yourself? Are you really going to stand there and watch us die? I’m your father!”

Xiao Zhenshan shouted angrily at Xiao Yang.

“Senior Brother, your foster father is your biological father! They’re your family!” Qin Fei gritted his teeth, forcing himself to speak.

“But my biological father treats you, his foster son, far better than his own son,” Xiao Yang replied coldly.

“Big Brother, you’re too heartless,” Xiao Yue said angrily.

“Heartless?”

Xiao Yang chuckled bitterly. In his previous life, they were the ones who were utterly heartless to him.

“Move aside! Step aside now, or I’ll really kill someone!”

The leader of the kidnappers flipped her hand, and a long spear appeared instantly in her grasp.

“Swish!”

The leader thrust the spear toward Xiao Yue, its sharp tip stopping just short of her throat.

The spear pierced her skin, and blood began to seep out.

Xiao Yue was so terrified she nearly fainted.

“Step aside!”

Qin Fei shouted anxiously.

The crowd hesitated and turned to look at Li Fanyin.

Li Fanyin frowned deeply before waving her hand. The people cleared a path.

The kidnappers, still holding Xiao Zhenshan and his family at knifepoint, began retreating.

Suddenly, from the shadows, remnants of the demonic sect hurled several Thunderfire Bombs into the crowd.

“It’s an ambush!”

Everyone was shocked and furious, but there was no time to think.

The bombs fell into the crowd, and panic erupted.

In the next moment, deafening explosions shook the area, flames burst forth, and violent shockwaves sent dirt and debris flying everywhere.

A few unfortunate individuals were caught in the blasts and thrown into the air by the sheer force.

Chaos broke out in front of the Daoist temple.

The kidnappers used the commotion to escape.

“Hmph!”

Xiao Yang, seeing this, grabbed Qin Fei and hurled him toward the fleeing kidnappers.

Qin Fei was horrified.

The other kidnappers, who didn’t know Qin Fei’s identity, reacted instinctively.

One of them raised his blade and swung it toward the incoming Qin Fei.

The leader of the kidnappers was terrified.

Qin Fei was the young master of the demonic sect. If this fool accidentally killed him, they’d all be executed in the aftermath.

At the critical moment, the leader struck out with a palm, knocking the blade-wielding subordinate away.

This was exactly the opportunity Xiao Yang had been waiting for.

Taking advantage of the kidnappers’ disarray, Xiao Yang made his move.

In a flash, he appeared in front of two of the kidnappers.

“What?!”

The two kidnappers were stunned.

Before they could react, Xiao Yang’s sword fingers struck their foreheads.

Sword energy burst forth, piercing their skulls and killing them instantly.

Without pausing, Xiao Yang charged toward the leader of the kidnappers, who was cloaked in black.

A sharp burst of sword light tore through the air, slicing toward her with deadly precision.

“Clang!”

The leader was highly skilled and immediately thrust her spear, deflecting the deadly sword light.

At the same time, Li Fanyin and the others seized the opportunity to rush forward and rescue Xiao Zhenshan, Chen Ruolan, and Xiao Yue.

The Blade God, Huang Tian, roared as he joined the battle. With a single swing of his massive blade, he obliterated the demonic sect remnants hiding in the shadows.

The sheer force of Huang Tian’s blade was overwhelming. The remnants couldn’t even withstand the residual energy, which tore them to pieces.

Seeing the tide turn, the leader of the kidnappers leaped into the sky and fled without a moment’s hesitation.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Xiao Yang merged with his sword, transforming into a streak of light as he chased after her.

There was no way he would let them escape.

He had already recognized the leader of the kidnappers as Mo Hongyue, the demonic sect assassin who had attempted to kill him in Jiuxiao City in his previous life.

In his past life, he had barely survived her attack.
