Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”So many of you ganging up on one girl. Have you no shame?”

Yang Xiao couldn’t watch any longer.

Before, it was one thing for the people of the Ice Profound Sect to pressure Bing Xin for their own benefit.

He had also wanted to see what Bing Xin would choose.

But now...

Xuan Tianzhan had also gotten involved.

What’s more, he was using the entire Ice Profound Sect to threaten Bing Xin, clearly as a way to get revenge on him.

Yang Xiao felt he couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

The moment he spoke,

Bing Xin immediately looked over.

Her eyes, fixed on Yang Xiao, were filled with gratitude and guilt.

”I am willing.”

As Bing Xin finished speaking, a single tear slid from the corner of her eye.

With that, she began to walk toward the Profound Celestial Sect’s camp.

Yang Xiao couldn’t help but fall silent.

Xuan Tianzhan burst into laughter. ”Yang Xiao, do you see this? The woman you went to such lengths to protect is still betraying you in the end, throwing herself into my, the Junior Sect Leader’s, arms.”

”And those Northern Wilderness Sword Orders you worked so hard to get? Not a single one is left, because they were never yours to begin with.”

”Even if you take things by force, it’s useless if they don’t belong to you.”

”Understand?”

Xuan Tianzhan’s smile was smug.

Utterly gleeful.

He felt he had finally crushed Yang Xiao.

This guy.

He had thwarted him at every turn since the first time they met.

He was like his nemesis.

Now, he had finally fallen into his hands—into his ancestor’s hands.

He was nothing but a loser.

And indeed, the expression on Yang Xiao’s face was grim.

Although he had somewhat expected this girl, Bing Xin, to make such a choice,

in his heart,

he still felt a stifling frustration.

It was a heavy weight in his chest.

He wanted to vent it all.

’Something’s wrong. The look on this girl’s face is all wrong. There seems to be a hint of resolve in it. Could it be…’

Yang Xiao’s expression shifted slightly.

The anger in his heart vanished, and in an instant, his Spiritual Power enveloped Bing Xin.

With his Spiritual Power, not even a Martial Saint could resist his spiritual intrusion.

As for anyone below the rank of a Martial Saint,

he could easily perceive their thoughts.

He had used this same method before when he found out Yang Ziling was being bullied by two degenerate senior brothers from the Sect.

So, when he used it on Bing Xin now,

it worked flawlessly.

’Yang Xiao, I’m sorry. My master raised me, after all. But don’t worry. Even if I die, I won’t let them use me to threaten you.’

Just as he thought.

The moment his power made contact, Yang Xiao sensed the fluctuations of Bing Xin’s consciousness.

His expression changed again.

’This foolish woman! Does she think she’ll have any control over the situation once she goes over there? In the hands of those people from the Profound Celestial Sect, even dying would be a luxury!’

Yang Xiao cursed inwardly.

Though he had just decided not to get involved with this girl anymore, his figure flashed once more.

He appeared in front of Bing Xin,

and grabbed her arm.

A cold smile touched his lips. ”Sorry, but your master already promised you to me. From now on, no one can order you to do anything, because you’re mine!”

At the same time, Yang Xiao’s voice echoed in Bing Xin’s mind alone: ”Foolish woman, I won’t allow it. You don’t have my permission to die!”

Domineering.

Forceful.

Yang Xiao’s attitude.

left everyone,

including Bing Xin herself,

completely stunned.

But there was a difference: the distant members of the Profound Celestial Sect and Ice Profound Sect all wore changed expressions.

This was especially true for Bing Wuying,

Xuan Shangqing,

and Xuan Tianzhan.

They never would have guessed that Yang Xiao would do such a thing at this moment.

Their hearts sank.

But for Bing Xin, the person at the center of it all,

her heart trembled. She felt that Yang Xiao’s hand was incredibly warm, strong, and safe.

She wanted to hold it for a lifetime.

Never letting go.

Her body trembled slightly.

Waves of happiness washed over her heart.

Compared to her previous conflict, grim resolve, and despair,

at this very moment, she felt as if she had been reborn.

As for everything else,

she didn’t want to hear it.

She didn’t want to care about it anymore.

Seeing this, the faces of everyone from the Profound Celestial Sect and the Ice Profound Sect darkened even further.

”Yang Xiao, how dare you! Do you have any idea what you’re doing?”

Xuan Tianzhan was about to explode with rage.

Yang Xiao glanced at him,

showing no reaction.

He simply ignored him.

Instead, he tightened his grip on Bing Xin’s hand and shot the other man a sidelong glance.

It was a look that was both a boast and a challenge.

”Good. Very good. You! You!”

Xuan Tianzhan saw it and was so enraged he could barely speak.

Just a moment ago, he had been gloating, brazenly using Bing Xin to humiliate Yang Xiao.

He’d thought he had already defeated him.

He was complacent and triumphant.

He was even plotting in his mind,

waiting for this woman, Bing Xin, to come over so he could show off his dominance right in front of Yang Xiao.

Just to piss him off.

But he never expected that,

in the blink of an eye,

the tables would turn completely.

Yang Xiao had stolen his plan and used it first.

And so domineeringly.

So arrogantly.

More importantly,

what was with that blissful, satisfied look on that bitch Bing Xin’s face?

This was a blatant insult to him.

It was like she was cuckolding him.

No man could tolerate this!

”Zhan’Er, don’t be rash!”

Just as Xuan Tianzhan, in his fury, lost all reason and was about to charge at Yang Xiao to fight him to the death,

a figure

landed in front of him and held him back.

It was Xuan Tianxin.

”Ancestor!”

Xuan Tianzhan’s eyes were bloodshot as he let out an unwilling roar.

”She’s just one woman. What does she matter? Isn’t the Ice Profound Sect still right there? How many do you want? I will see to it that you get them. As long as the matter with the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion is successful, what would it matter if I gave them all to you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone from the Ice Profound Sect changed.

They began to feel some regret.

Because at this very moment, they finally realized.

In the eyes of the Profound Celestial Sect, they were no longer people.

They were goods.

To be disposed of at will.

Unfortunately,

it was too late for regrets.

As for Xuan Tianzhan,

he gradually sobered up at these words.

’That’s right.’

’The Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion is the key.’

’As long as I succeed in this…’

’I, Xuan Tianzhan, will be a man above all others.’

’I’ll stand above all those lowly Martial Artists.’

’What’s a single bitch compared to that?’

”It seems you understand now.”

Xuan Tianxin smiled faintly.

Xuan Tianzhan nodded. ”Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. She’s just a worthless bitch. If that Yang Xiao wants her, he can have her. But as for the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion…”

Xuan Tianzhan sneered, looked at Yang Xiao, and declared loudly, ”The Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion! All eight Northern Wilderness Sword Orders are in the hands of my Profound Celestial Sect. This means I, the Junior Sect Leader, can bring seventy-nine people inside with me. When the time comes, Yang Xiao, let’s not even discuss whether you can get in. Even if you could, how would you possibly contend with me?”

”Is that so? Forget eighty people—what if you brought eight hundred? Would they be enough for my sword to kill? However, you schemed against me this time. Wouldn’t it make me seem incompetent if I didn’t strike back? How about this? Out of the kindness of my heart, I’ll make sure not a single one of you gets in!”

The moment his voice fell,

Yang Xiao’s figure flashed

and he vanished.

Only Bing Xin was left standing in his place.

When he reappeared,

Yang Xiao was already in front of Xuan Tianzhan and the others.

He raised the sword in his hand.

And slashed down.
