Chapter 672 - 670: Has He Disappeared?
"Congratulations, Mr. Yang, congratulations!"
"Yang Yuan has ascended the Immortal Pride List—now the Yang Family is bound to become the number one family in all of Black Fire Immortal Mountain territory!"
"From now on, who in Black Fire Immortal Mountain would dare provoke Mr. Yang?"
"Yang Yuan is just too fierce! With Late Stage True Immortal cultivation, he killed two Celestial Immortals—it’s like something out of a dream."
...
A crowd of Inner Sect Disciples came rushing forward, surrounding Yang Xiao, showering him with praise and shameless flattery.
Yang Xiao’s face was flushed red with excitement, nearly bursting.
Even some of the elder disciples came over, extremely cordial, pushing their own dignity aside.
Looking at everyone, Yang Xiao couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.
"Of course my big brother’s awesome—so what if they’re just Celestial Immortals?"
Yang Xiao laughed arrogantly, but quickly turned a stern look toward his followers: "Let me tell you all, don’t use my name to cause trouble. If my brother finds out, I’ll be the one who pays for it."
"Mr. Yang, you must be joking, how could that ever happen?"
The scene got rowdy yet again.
Today, Yang Yuan became the brightest star in Black Fire Immortal Mountain.
And behind the scenes, Yang Xiao had become the center of countless people’s attention, slapped with a label: ’absolutely untouchable.’
"That guy’s Yang Yuan’s brother? Hmph, just another good-for-nothing rich kid. Does he seriously think Black Fire Immortal Mountain is his own backyard?"
"What a bunch of shameful idiots! Dignified Inner Sect Disciples, falling over themselves to be a rich kid’s lapdog."
On one side, a few disciples gathered, among them two Seed Disciples, both glaring at Yang Xiao with undisguised contempt.
Another one said coolly, "The Yang Family was never weak, and now Yang Yuan’s made the Immortal Pride List as a Seed Disciple. Give it a few years—he’ll enter the Upper Sect, and the Yang Family will rise even further. With those two brothers in the sect, who’d dare mess with them?"
"So what if he’s a rich kid? To be his lapdog, there are plenty who’d kill for that kind of glory!"
"Shut your damn mouth, talk like a human for once!"
"I’m just stating facts."
"Then why don’t you go be a lapdog?"
"Piss off!"
...
"Baby, as for that Bai Yu, I’ve already told them—his first Outer Sect mission’s gonna be real interesting, guaranteed death."
Yang Xiao circled his arm around Bai Jie, his hands running wild, grinning lewdly.
Bai Jie’s pretty face was flushed red, panting softly as she tried to pry Yang Xiao’s hand off her, but couldn’t manage it.
"Xiao, you’re so good to me."
"Heh, that’s just the tip of the iceberg—you’ve got even better to come."
Bai Jie gradually melted into it.
Not just physically, but in her heart, too.
The moment she heard Yang Xiao’s big brother Yang Yuan had made the Immortal Pride List, she almost lost her mind.
The Immortal Pride List!
At that moment, whatever dignity she still had was utterly shredded.
Without Yang Xiao, how much resources could she get?
Her talent and potential weren’t anything special.
She’d just end up bullied.
Following Yang Xiao—it’s like shooting up to the heavens in a single leap.
Right now, she felt like she owed Bai Yu a huge thank you!
After the steamy session, Bai Jie left, and Yang Xiao, refreshed, went looking for Lin Yue.
"What brings you here, Mr. Yang? Come, sit, quick."
Lin Yue fawned over Yang Xiao like a loyal puppy, brewed his best precious Immortal Tea, and respectfully handed it to Yang Xiao with both hands.
All of it because Yang Yuan made the Immortal Pride List!
"Have you seen any movement from Xu Yang lately?" Yang Xiao took a satisfied sip, smacking his lips as he casually asked.
He hadn’t forgotten about Xu Yang.
Especially now, with his brother on the Immortal Pride List, the thought of Xu Yang made him even more pissed.
His own brother made the Immortal Pride List, and this guy hasn’t come crawling over to beg for forgiveness yet?
But several days passed, and nothing happened.
Lin Yue gave a wry smile: "Mr. Yang, I went to look for that kid the very next day, and he wasn’t in his cave-dwelling."
"For the past few days I’ve been watching for him every day, just can’t find a trace—no clue where he went."
"And the Inner Sect Disciples’ missions haven’t been assigned yet. I asked around too, and nobody’s seen him."
"Did he run away?"
Yang Xiao was dumbstruck.
"I think he probably fled."
"That guy looks pretty stubborn, tough as stone. Maybe he saw Yang Yuan hit the Immortal Pride List, freaked out, and bolted." Lin Yue said helplessly.
Honestly, he felt running away like that wasn’t so hard to understand.
After all, since Yang Yuan took the Immortal Pride List, the Yang Family’s status and power hit their peak!
Anyone stupid enough to cross Yang Xiao would be tormented by fear day and night.
If he refused to bow his head, the Inner Sect Disciple status was pretty meaningless in comparison.
"Damn it!"
"That bastard—I haven’t even taught him a lesson yet."
Yang Xiao ground his teeth in rage: "Mr. Lin, keep tailing him. Once he shows up, bring him straight to me."
"You got it, Mr. Yang."
Lin Yue thumped his chest.
He was even more frustrated than Yang Xiao.
Tier Two Immortal Treasure, for crying out loud.
If Xu Yang really ran, that’s a massive loss.
Swish!
A tall, slender silhouette suddenly appeared at the cave entrance.
"Big brother."
Yang Xiao’s hand trembled—he almost dropped his cup—and he hurried to his feet.
Yang Xiao’s big brother?
Lin Yue was even more startled, whipped around, swallowed hard, and quickly bowed: "Lin Yue greets Mr. Yang."
"You get out."
Yang Yuan gave Lin Yue a sideways glance, speaking flatly.
This was clearly his own cave, but Lin Yue didn’t say a word, scurried right out.
Letting him use this cave was a privilege!
"Big brother."
"Why did you suddenly come?"
Yang Xiao gave an awkward smile.
Yang Yuan said blandly, "Didn’t you say you weren’t causing trouble?"
"Bro, I really haven’t made any trouble."
The invisible pressure from Yang Yuan made Yang Xiao’s face pale, his legs shaking uncontrollably.
"Hmm?" Yang Yuan’s eyes flashed cold.
Yang Xiao collapsed instantly.
"Bro, honestly, I haven’t made any big mess, heh."
"Just during the assessment, some blind bastard tried to compete with me for the fire seed."
Saying that, Yang Xiao glanced up nervously at his big brother, who just squinted, silent.
He gritted his teeth: "Bro, that guy was cocky as hell. I even threw out the Yang Family name, but he didn’t care at all—how could I swallow that?"
"That kid is tough, too—got first place in the first trial, and even refined a Tier Four Black Fire Seed in the second. But compared to you, bro, he’s nothing."
"I’m really just having Lin Yue keep an eye on him. Trouble is, he’s gone missing for days, hasn’t shown his face—I figure he probably got scared and bolted."
Yang Yuan raised his brows slightly. Bolted?
Just gives up his Inner Sect Disciple status in Black Fire Immortal Mountain?
First place in the trial, and Tier Four Black Fire Seed—pretty much top Inner Sect Disciple material.
He just left, just like that?
"Here’s my warning: don’t make trouble the next few days."
"Huh?"
"Bro, but didn’t you..." Yang Xiao stared blankly.
Yang Yuan said coldly, "Sure, I’m on the Immortal Pride List now, but glory always attracts greater danger; all those powerful families—you think they’re just gonna watch the Yang Family rise in peace?"
"Very few can come at me, but going after you—that’s almost too easy."
"Who’d dare come after me?" Yang Xiao scoffed.
Yang Yuan shook his head a little, sighed: "Whatever, do as you like. If you die, I’ll get revenge for you with the Yang Family; but death is the end of the road."
Yang Xiao’s face changed—he finally started listening.
"Don’t worry, bro, I won’t act up."
"But anyone who dares disrespect the Yang Family, you know what to do. As long as it’s not too far, I can handle it for you."
Yang Yuan threw down those words, then floated out of the cave and was gone.
Yang Xiao froze for a second, then started pumping his fists in excitement.
"That’s my real big bro."
"Hahaha!"
He’s not stupid enough to mess with a Golden Immortal’s Direct Disciple, or a Celestial or Golden Immortal with a strong backing.
Other than those, with Yang Yuan’s word—no exaggeration—in front of him, they’re all nothing but chickens and dogs!
Dominating Black Fire Immortal Mountain isn’t just talk.
Even the Golden Immortal Direct Disciples, Seed Disciples, have to give him face.
"That bastard, you better keep hiding... Show yourself soon!" Thinking of Xu Yang, a vicious sneer appeared on Yang Xiao’s face.
