536: Want to die or live

“??? ”

Li Yang’s pupils contracted as he stared at the charming face before him, his expression filled with disbelief.

What the hell?

She used to be a man?

How could this be?

Seeing Li Yang’s astonished expression, Ye Xuan smiled faintly and teased,

“Surprised?”

“…”

Li Yang was numb.

His feelings were not only toyed with, but they were also toyed with by a man?

He took a deep breath, suppressing the grief and indignation in his heart:

“So, can I leave now?”

He didn’t want to stay in this sorrowful place for a moment longer.

He just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Then, he would find a secluded place to cry his heart out and vent his sorrow.

“Leave?”

Ye Xuan sneered. She returned to Qin Jiang’s side and looked at Li Yang coldly:

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave.”

“What do you mean?”

Li Yang frowned.

Even now, he still hadn’t sensed the danger. Among all the Sons of Destiny Qin Jiang had met, Li Yang’s intelligence was far behind, dragging down the overall average.

Seeing his demeanor, Qin Jiang also smiled. This Son of Destiny was truly naive.

Without saying more, Qin Jiang’s gaze fell upon the long sword at Li Yang’s waist.

That was the Immortal King Sword.

Inside the sword were Three True Immortal Remnant Souls, all of Immortal Rank.

In the past, remnant souls of this rank might have posed a slight threat, but now, mere True Immortals could be extinguished with a flick of a finger, let alone remnant souls.

Ye Xuan noticed Qin Jiang’s gaze, and with a wave of her hand, a surge of power swept out, directly striking the Immortal King Sword, causing Li Yang to fall to the ground once more.

The Immortal King Sword trembled slightly.

The Three True Immortal Remnant Souls inside were silent. Over the years, they had reminded Li Yang many times, but Li Yang was completely infatuated with Ye Xuan.

He turned a deaf ear to their warnings.

In fact, Li Yang would even argue with them for Ye Xuan’s sake.

Over time, their hearts grew cold.

They had given up on Li Yang long ago. If it weren’t for the Immortal King Sword already recognizing him as its Revered Master, they would have left Li Yang and fled long ago.

And now…

Qin Jiang’s gaze almost froze their Primordial Spirits.

They had been discovered.

Moreover, that little girl—no, that little demon—directly attacked the sword, perhaps discovering them, or rather, they had been discovered from the very beginning.

The three remnant souls exchanged glances, their expressions grim.

“Stop hiding. See your disciple for the last time.”

Qin Jiang chuckled lightly.

As his words fell, Li Yang’s face changed dramatically, and he finally realized the danger.

He picked up the Immortal King Sword and held it across his chest.

However, the next moment, the sword trembled slightly, and the Three True Immortal Remnant Souls appeared in the small courtyard.

“Revered Master…”

Li Yang opened his mouth, his face flushed, feeling a sense of shame in his heart.

His Three Revered Masters had always thought for him.

Yet, for a woman, he repeatedly defied them, disappointing them.

Recalling it now, Li Yang’s heart was filled with guilt.

The Three True Immortal Remnant Souls first looked at Li Yang, shaking their heads, then turned to Qin Jiang, bowing slightly in salute:

“We greet the Lord of Hua Xia.”

Quite polite.

Qin Jiang chuckled, looking at the Three True Immortal Remnant Souls. The three of them combined, along with the Immortal King Sword, might barely be able to fight a True Immortal.

Their combat power was still decent.

After a brief thought, Qin Jiang looked at Ye Xuan and asked,

“I told you about the origin of that sword. It’s a good treasure. Do you need it?”

Ye Xuan’s abilities were quite good, and she was indeed very loyal to him.

She was worth cultivating.

An Immortal King Sword would be of some help to her.

However, Ye Xuan shook her head and said,

“I don’t need it.”

“You don’t need it?”

“Mm.”

“Alright.”

Qin Jiang didn’t bother to say more.

Since Ye Xuan didn’t need it, then this Immortal King Sword would be fed to Yun Bao’s father.

However, before that, these Three True Immortal Remnant Souls had to be dealt with.

He looked over. The Three True Immortal Remnant Souls maintained their bowing posture without Qin Jiang’s permission to speak, not daring to straighten up at all.

It seemed they had a strong will to survive.

Qin Jiang smiled faintly, looking at the Three True Immortal Remnant Souls, and said,

“Do you want to live or die?”

Upon hearing this, the Three True Immortal Remnant Souls exchanged glances, then looked at Li Yang.

Then, they nodded, their expressions firm.

They looked at Qin Jiang and affirmed,

“We want to live!”

The Three True Immortal Remnant Souls were completely disappointed in Li Yang. He was truly beyond help.

Hearing their affirmative answer, Qin Jiang smiled and nodded:

“Good.

Kill Li Yang, and you can live.”

“…”

Upon hearing this, the Three True Immortal Remnant Souls trembled. Although they were disappointed in Li Yang,

They were still Revered Master and disciple.

They had lived together for decades, and now, to ask them to kill Li Yang…

They turned their heads and looked at Li Yang.

At the same time, a panicked expression appeared on Li Yang’s face. He quickly said,

“Revered Master, I am your disciple!”

The Three True Immortal Remnant Souls also had some struggle in their eyes. In truth, they all understood that today, no matter what, Li Yang would not escape death.

But to make them kill Li Yang.

That was truly a cruel blow.

Qin Jiang did not urge them, merely watching the performance of both sides with interest.

Revered Master and disciple turning on each other—this was quite a show.

After a long silence, one of the True Immortal Remnant Souls said with a trembling voice,

“Disciple, don’t blame us.”

“Revered Master!”

Li Yang’s heart panicked, and he called out again, trying to awaken his Revered Master’s love:

“Revered Master, have you forgotten the decades of Revered Master-disciple affection?”

“Revered Master-disciple affection…”

The Three True Immortal Remnant Souls fell silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said,

“Revered Master-disciple affection, in your heart, probably can’t compare to love between a man and a woman, can it?”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Li Yang paused slightly.

Over the years, he had been so deeply immersed in Ye Xuan’s tenderness that he couldn’t extricate himself.

He had indeed neglected his Three Revered Masters.

Seeing their bitter expressions, Li Yang felt guilty, but he wanted to live even more.

He clenched his fists, actually kneeling down directly, and said shamefully,

“Revered Master, it’s all my fault. I deserve to die. Just kill me!”

“Good.”

“???”

Li Yang’s face went blank.

No!

You agreed so readily?

At this moment, shouldn’t there be a touching scene of Revered Master-disciple affection, a heartfelt conversation, and then you forgive me, and then you try your best to protect me and let me leave?

Why is this plot different from what I imagined?

Looking at his Three Revered Masters, Li Yang was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Meanwhile, the Three True Immortal Remnant Souls slowly approached Li Yang.

A strong sense of deadly crisis enveloped Li Yang’s heart, completely waking him up.

He quickly got up, retreated several steps, and said,

“Revered Master, are you really going to disregard our Revered Master-disciple affection completely?”
