Chapter 104:
Xiao Yang’s sudden intrusion nearly scared Qin Fei to death. His body went cold, his scalp tingled, and panic surged through him.
Qin Fei had been undercover in the Azure Sun Sword Sect for ten years. It had taken him immense effort to become the personal disciple of Sect Master Jiang Qitian, win the favor of his senior sister Jiang Ting, and establish a foothold within the sect.
Was it all about to crumble today?
As murderous intent surged in his heart, he considered silencing Xiao Yang for good.
But before he could act, Xiao Yang had already crippled the dantians of Li Kuang’s two disciples, destroying their cultivation.
With a single finger, Xiao Yang sealed Qin Fei’s cultivation as well, leaving him immobilized.
Now, Qin Fei stood frozen as if under a binding spell. Only his mouth and eyes could move.
“Senior Brother, you must not misunderstand me! I would never collude with remnants of the Demon Sect!” Qin Fei hurriedly denied the accusation.
Admitting it was out of the question. If he confessed, he would be finished.
The Demon Sect was the sworn enemy of all cultivators in the Northern Territory. In ancient times, it had brought disaster to countless lives, leaving a legacy of blood feuds. Even a few hundred years ago, it had committed numerous atrocities in the Northern Territory before disappearing from sight, forced into hiding by relentless hunts from powerful sects.
To be labeled as a Demon Sect remnant was to be marked for death by all. As the Young Master of the Demon Sect, Qin Fei could never reveal his identity or admit any connection. Even the entire Azure Sun Sword Sect couldn’t protect him if the truth came out.
“Oh? Then how do you explain this?” Xiao Yang asked with a half-smile, glancing at the two crippled Demon Sect disciples.
“I… I… I was captured by them! They forced me! They even implanted a Gu poison in me. I had no choice but to pretend to cooperate with them!” Qin Fei stammered.
Xiao Yang’s lips curled slightly. He thought to himself that Qin Fei’s acting skills had improved. Not only had he twisted the situation, but he had even mentioned the Gu poison in his body, blending truth with lies. Truly impressive.
If Xiao Yang hadn’t overheard everything outside the blood pool earlier, he might have been fooled. Unfortunately for Qin Fei, Xiao Yang already knew the truth. While Qin Fei did have a Gu poison in him, it was placed there by the Blood Demon, not these unlucky Demon Sect disciples.
“You’ve been poisoned with a Gu?” Xiao Yang feigned shock, playing along with Qin Fei. If Qin Fei wanted to act, Xiao Yang would gladly join the show.
“Yes, Senior Brother! You arrived just in time. Otherwise, I would have been tortured to death by these Demon Sect remnants. Please, lift the seal on me! Senior Sister and the others have been captured by them. I know where they are, and I’ll take you to rescue them!” Qin Fei said anxiously.
“Oh? You want me to release you? And you even know where the others were taken?” Xiao Yang found it amusing that Qin Fei was still trying to manipulate him. If Xiao Yang foolishly followed Qin Fei to “rescue” the others, he would likely be walking into a death trap.
Black Wind City’s underground housed not only the Blood Demon but also Li Kuang, a formidable opponent possibly at the peak of the Shenwu Realm. Xiao Yang knew better than to fall into their trap.
“Senior Brother, please release me quickly! They have accomplices. If their accomplices return, it will alert them, and rescuing Senior Sister and the others will become even harder!” Qin Fei pleaded, sweat dripping down his face.
“Oh, they have accomplices? Then we must be careful.” Xiao Yang pretended to be surprised.
“Here, I have a detoxification pill. Let’s see if it can remove the Gu poison in you,” Xiao Yang said, rummaging through his storage pouch.
He soon produced a black pill, the size of a soybean.
“Th-this isn’t necessary…” Qin Fei’s face turned pale. He didn’t trust Xiao Yang to give him a real antidote. Considering how close Qin Fei was to Jiang Ting, Xiao Yang undoubtedly hated him. How could Xiao Yang be so kind?
“Just try it! Come, Junior Brother, take your medicine,” Xiao Yang said cheerfully. He stepped forward, grabbed Qin Fei’s jaw, and shoved the black pill into his mouth. To wash it down, he poured a mouthful of wine from his flask into Qin Fei’s mouth.
“How’s the taste of my Hundred Flowers Brew, Junior Brother?” Xiao Yang asked with a smile, putting away his flask.
Coughing, Qin Fei involuntarily swallowed the pill along with the wine. His face twisted with both shock and rage, but he dared not lash out.
“Xiao Yang, you dare cripple our cultivation! Do you know who our master is?” one of Li Kuang’s disciples growled through gritted teeth.
Once lofty martial masters, they were now powerless like ordinary men. The fall from grace was driving them mad.
“Your master? Isn’t it Li Kuang, the Blade Demon?” Xiao Yang replied casually.
“What?!”
Both Demon Sect disciples and Qin Fei were stunned.
How did Xiao Yang know?
Qin Fei, in particular, felt a chill run down his spine.
How much did Xiao Yang know? Did he even know about Qin Fei’s true identity and his undercover mission in the Azure Sun Sword Sect?
“Junior Brother, keep an eye on these two. I’m going out for a moment,” Xiao Yang said, glancing at Qin Fei.
With a tap of his finger, he released Qin Fei’s physical restraints.
“Alright, Senior Brother, leave it to me,” Qin Fei said with feigned enthusiasm, hiding his delight.
As Xiao Yang walked out, he shut the door behind him.
“Wait…” Qin Fei quickly realized that while he could move again, his cultivation was still sealed.
“What’s going on…?”
At that moment, something crashed through the window, rolling to Qin Fei’s feet. It was a small pink orb.
“What is this?” Qin Fei bent down to pick it up. The orb was about the size of a thumb and seemed to contain swirling mist within.
“Boom!”
Outside the house, Xiao Yang’s lips curled into a grin.
The next moment, the orb exploded, filling the entire house with pink smoke.
“What…? What’s happening?!” Qin Fei’s panicked voice came from inside.
“Yin-Yang Bliss Smoke. Only fox demons could create something like this,” Xiao Yang mused, thoroughly enjoying himself.
The pill he had forced Qin Fei to take earlier was actually the antidote to the smoke’s effects. Xiao Yang wanted Qin Fei to experience everything while fully conscious.
Meanwhile, Li Kuang’s disciples, though stripped of their cultivation, were still beyond Qin Fei’s ability to handle.
“Come here, little beauty!”
“Don’t run, just lie down for me!”
“No! Senior Brother, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have opposed you! Please, save me! Senior Brother!” Qin Fei screamed in terror.
“Junior Brother, since you’ve become sisters with Senior Sister, I’ll let you enjoy the experience of being a woman today. Hahaha!” Xiao Yang finally couldn’t hold back his laughter.
He felt utterly delighted.
