Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

Yang Xiao!

One of the guards who recognized him immediately grabbed the furious captain.

The captain’s expression changed too.

Yang Xiao—the second young master of the Yang Family.

If this gets out of hand, it’ll cause an even bigger mess.

"Tsk tsk, looks like even the guard squad goes silent when Yang Xiao shows up."

"Isn’t the guard squad supposed to keep order in Four Spirits Town? Why are they so scared just because Yang Xiao is here?"

"Hmph, I knew it!"

...

Chatter buzzed from all around.

The captain’s face grew even gloomier. He glared at Yang Xiao and suddenly barked coldly, "Mr. Yang, I’ll have to ask you to come with us."

Yang Xiao finally lifted his eyes, sneering as he said, "Guard squad? What right do you have to tell me to go with you?"

"Don’t forget, all your squads are fed by the great powers. These bastards dare slander and insult my Yang Family. What’s wrong with me teaching them a lesson? Got a problem with that?"

Yang Xiao arrogantly swept his gaze across the crowd.

Everyone lowered their heads; the muttering diminished by more than half.

The captain’s face flushed dark as iron; he cursed inwardly—this idiot.

I was giving you a way out. You won’t take it, and you throw it back in my face?

He took a deep breath, then spoke in a heavy tone: "Yang Xiao, fighting is forbidden in Four Spirits Town!"

"If you don’t come, don’t blame me for being rude."

"Rude?"

Yang Xiao showed no fear, just more sarcasm. He looked down on the captain and said, "I’d like to see just how rude you can get."

"You..."

For a flash, fire burned in the captain’s eyes. He swept his sleeve and strode forward.

The rest of the squad quickly encircled Yang Xiao and his companions.

At that moment—

A figure stepped out from behind.

Buzz!

The aura of someone at the Middle Stage of Celestial Immortal Realm poured out, making the captain go pale.

He was only at Early Stage Celestial Immortal.

The newcomer was unmistakably a Yang Family cultivator, standing behind Yang Xiao and glaring icily at the crowd.

Yang Xiao crowed, "Come on, lay a finger on me, I dare you!"

As he spoke, he kicked the cultivator on the ground, pointing coldly at those around him: "If I catch anyone slandering my Yang Family again, I’ll make sure not a single one of you gets out alive."

Arrogant to the extreme!

The crowd was furious, but didn’t dare cross Yang Xiao now for fear of disaster.

The captain was truly stuck on the grill, unable to move forward or back.

"Mr. Yang, such impressive presence."

"Since when did Four Spirits Town become Yang Family’s domain?"

A voice dripping with sarcasm rang out across the square.

The crowd was shocked; all eyes swiveled to find the speaker. Who would dare mock Yang Xiao at a moment like this?

"Who’s there? Show yourself!"

Yang Xiao flew into a rage.

Whoosh!

A figure stepped out slowly.

It was Xu Yang.

"Xu Yang, it’s you!"

Seeing Xu Yang, Yang Xiao’s eyes blazed with hate.

But the Yang Family cultivator behind him turned ashen.

The captain’s eyes lit up with joy, and he bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Lord Guardian!"

Xu Yang nodded, his gaze icy as he stared at Yang Xiao: "Mr. Yang, enlighten me—is Four Spirits Town owned by your Yang Family?"

His voice was cold as a blade, and Yang Xiao paled instantly.

Only then did he realize that Xu Yang was the Guardian of Four Spirits Immortal Mountain.

"Second Young Master, we should go," the Yang Family cultivator whispered in warning.

Yang Xiao clenched his fists, unable to bear the shame of losing face in front of Xu Yang.

But now that Xu Yang was involved, pushing further would only mean greater humiliation.

He gritted his teeth: "Xu Yang, you call yourself Guardian, yet you let people shamelessly slander my Yang Family. So irresponsible!"

Xu Yang’s brow twitched—he’d underestimated Yang Xiao, who did spot that this was being deliberately spread.

He chuckled, waving to the captain: "Take him down."

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Yang Xiao was livid.

The Yang Family cultivator hurried in front of Yang Xiao, blocking the way.

The captain hesitated.

The crowd buzzed with excitement.

Xu Yang said coolly, "Anyone who tries to stop this today, I swear—they won’t even have a grave left to be buried in!"

At those words, the Yang Family cultivator’s face twisted, and he rasped: "Mr. Xu, about today’s incident..."

"Did I say you could speak?"

Xu Yang swept his eyes over him, as cold as a blade.

The Yang Family cultivator felt as if plunged into icy water, chilled to the bone.

"If you don’t believe me, try me."

"..."

"Take him away. What are you standing around for?"

"Anyone who dares defy orders—kill them on the spot!"

The words, chilling and murderous, filled the street.

Xu Yang sneered—Yang Xiao had practically delivered himself up.

Yang Xiao gulped, suddenly realizing Xu Yang wasn’t joking.

"Xu Yang, I’m a disciple of the Immortal Sect!"

Idiot!

Xu Yang just shook his head, not bothering to reply.

The captain looked deep at Xu Yang, then straightened up and strode toward Yang Xiao.

The Yang Family cultivator locked his eyes on Xu Yang, but when the captain approached, he slumped and quietly stood aside.

The Yang Family already knew everything about Xu Yang.

Given the situation, he didn’t dare stand his ground.

Because in the end, as Guardian here, Xu Yang truly had the right and the power.

Idiot.

Compared to the elder son, this one was just trash.

The cultivator cursed angrily inside, already regretting coming out with Yang Xiao today.

"Heh."

Seeing the Yang Family cultivator step aside, the captain gave a wide grin and grabbed Yang Xiao.

"You dare!"

Yang Xiao, both terrified and furious, tried to dodge.

But he was only in the True Immortal Realm—how could he escape a Celestial Immortal’s grasp?

The captain seized Yang Xiao in a flash.

"Xu Yang, you bastard! Touch me and my brother will destroy you!"

"Let me go! I’m a disciple of the Immortal Sect. This is sect revenge, I object!"

Xu Yang nearly burst out laughing.

Just now he’d thought this guy wasn’t completely stupid, but clearly he’d overrated him.

"Knock him out."

"Yes, sir."

The captain did as ordered, slapping Yang Xiao unconscious as Yang Xiao stared in despair.

"Go back and get someone from the Yang Family who actually has the authority here."

Xu Yang glanced at the Yang Family cultivator, then turned and left.

When the guard squad and Xu Yang were gone, the crowd exploded in cheers of delight.

After this incident, the Yang Family’s reputation fell another notch.

Xu Yang even wondered if Yang Xiao had done all this on purpose.

Too stupid.

Still, with today’s outrage, when the real drama unfolded in a few days, the effect would be even better.

Back at the manor, Xu Yang tossed Yang Xiao into custody, couldn’t be bothered to care.

As for which Yang Family member would show up, how they’d respond—honestly, he didn’t give a damn.

Right now, the Yang Family must already be in chaos.

And sure enough, they were already in chaos.

The evening before the trade conference, it was Yang Zhenyuan, a powerhouse at Late Stage of Celestial Immortal Realm, who sat in Four Spirits Town for the Yang Family.

Hearing Yang Xiao had been detained, and learning the details, Yang Zhenyuan—this late-stage powerhouse—smashed a table in rage and roared: "Useless, that damned piece of trash!"

"He ruins everything—whose idea was it to send him to Four Spirits Town?"

"The hell with going to fetch him—let him keep dreaming!"
