This Life, I'm Not Living Anymore!

This Life, I'm Not Living Anymore!

What?!

Hearing those two women, Qin Yang immediately felt as though the sky had collapsed.

It turned out that not only had they never intended to help him, they even wanted to capture him as a demonic cultivator who had delivered himself right to their doorstep and take him back to claim credit?!

Damn it, how could these people's hearts be so black?

Qin Yang gritted his teeth, but he had no time to worry about that now.

Seeing the three of them about to approach, he hurriedly turned around. He absolutely could not be discovered at a time like this.

Yet the more one feared something, the more surely it came.

By sheer bad luck, Qin Yang stepped on and snapped a dead branch. The crisp crack rang out, completely exposing him!

"Who's there? How dare you follow us?!"

The Woman surnamed Zhou was the first to act. Light as a swallow, she caught up with Qin Yang in just a few steps.

"It's you?!"

All three were shocked. Ye Cheng was even more incredulous that this little beggar he had personally helped would actually have followed the three of them.

"Junior Brother, you saw that, right?"

"I told you, how could outsiders be trusted so easily?"

"This little beggar dared to follow us here. He's clearly harboring ill intentions. He might even have been deliberately sent by demonic cultivators to ambush us!"

The Woman surnamed Zhou's words left Ye Cheng speechless and deeply conflicted.

"I—I said I was just passing by. Do you believe me?"

Qin Yang gave two dry, yet still polite, laughs.

But clearly, even he did not believe himself.

"You audacious demonic cultivator! You still dare to spout nonsense? Take this!"

The two women attacked directly. Their strength far surpassed Qin Yang's, so they naturally had no intention of giving him the slightest chance to escape.

Of course, with Qin Yang's strength, he could not have escaped anyway.

In just a few moves, the two women's flowing sleeves had wrapped Qin Yang up so tightly that only his head was left exposed. Even his mouth was sealed, leaving him unable to speak.

Qin Yang was close to tears.

"Let's go, Junior Brother. Fortunately, we discovered him early, or we really would have fallen for the demonic cultivators' scheme."

"Now that we have the Earth Spirit Pearl, we can take this demonic cultivator back directly and claim our reward!"

The Woman surnamed Zhou spoke with utter indifference.

Ye Cheng was powerless to argue. Everything he saw told him that Qin Yang really was suspicious. Otherwise, why would he have deliberately followed the three of them here?

Soon, Qin Yang was taken back to the town.

The three of them had come on horseback, so they naturally rode back as well.

This left Qin Yang's heart filled with anxiety and torment. He had no idea what kind of place the Yunqing Sect was.

Although it was an orthodox sect, he had already been mistaken for a demonic cultivator. How could he possibly fare well in the hands of orthodox cultivators? Not being executed by dismemberment would already be a blessing!

"I hope they'll give me a quick death and let me start my next life soon."

Qin Yang prayed inwardly. He had never wanted to eat red beans so badly before.

"Hold it!"

"Three of you, is it not a little too much to take our Junior Brother away just like that?!"

Just as Ye Cheng and the other two were about to leave with Qin Yang, three men suddenly appeared and blocked their path. All three carried varying degrees of demonic aura.

The young man at the front had hollow eyes, a burly build, and an unfriendly expression.

Another man had a pair of extremely distinctive large ears, each as big as a palm.

The last man wore white robes and looked like a pale-faced scholar. However, his forehead was rotten, with even the white bone clearly visible, and the depths of his eyes held a chilling killing intent!

They were Lu Xun, Chang Er, and Bai Feng, who had been ordered to capture Qin Yang!

"Junior Brother?!"

"Wait, they're demonic cultivators!"

The Woman surnamed Zhou's expression changed drastically. She immediately drew her spirit sword and stared murderously at the three demonic cultivators before her.

The other female disciple, however, clenched her fists even tighter and ground her teeth as she said, "I knew it! This little beggar was no good. Just as Senior Sister Zhou predicted, he deliberately latched onto us to buy time for the other demonic cultivators!"

"If only we'd known, we would have killed this little beggar with one sword."

She radiated killing intent. Beside her, Ye Cheng no longer had any doubts and was instead filled with regret.

If he had not meddled and tried to save this little beggar, how would he have drawn the demonic cultivators to their door?

"Senior Sisters, you go first. I'll hold them off!"

Ye Cheng looked as though he had thrown caution to the wind, preparing to fight Lu Xun and the other two to the death.

However, contrary to their expectations, Lu Xun had no intention of attacking at all.

"Three of you, we don't want to engage in a major fight here either. Why don't you return the man to us, and from now on, we'll each go our separate ways? How does that sound?"

Lu Xun spoke.

He was very cautious. After all, they were all demonic cultivators. Who knew whether the three orthodox disciples had elders or other backers behind them? Once they provoked trouble, they would be in for it.

The wisest choice was naturally to bring Qin Yang back without shedding blood and report their success!

"It's that simple?"

The Woman surnamed Zhou was astonished.

She was actually rather uneasy herself. Who knew whether some old monster might leap out of this cursed place and capture or kill them?

Without an elder leading them, it was better to avoid trouble whenever possible.

Moreover, she could clearly tell that Lu Xun, the leader, was extraordinarily powerful—far stronger than the three of them combined.

If they truly clashed blade against blade, they would all die without exception!

"Fine. You said it yourself. We'll return the man to you!"

With that, the Woman surnamed Zhou directly threw Qin Yang off the horse, then led her fellow junior sister and junior brother away without looking back.

Lu Xun and the other two were satisfied.

The only one who suffered was Qin Yang.

"Wait, you're orthodox disciples! You're running away just because you're facing three demonic cultivators, and you're selling me out just like that?!"

"Are you even human?!"

At that moment, Qin Yang's heart completely collapsed. Ten thousand grass-mud horses galloped past it.

By comparison, he would rather die at the hands of those orthodox cultivators than be taken back to suffer torture.

He knew all too well that old bastard Xuan Chengzi used extremely cruel methods. He would definitely drag Qin Yang back and refine him into medicine. Qin Yang truly did not want to experience that a second time!

"Hehehe."

"Junior Brother Qin, it's only been a day, yet I've missed you terribly."

"See the injury on my head? This is all thanks to you!"

Bai Feng hated Qin Yang the most.

He had been caught off guard repeatedly. The physical damage was minor, but the humiliation had been severe.

Throughout the journey to find him, he had thought of nothing but slicing Qin Yang into a thousand pieces and torturing him to death!

"Enough nonsense. If you have the guts, just kill me!"

Qin Yang was bent on dying. The moment he could speak again, his first wish was for the other party to hurry up and kill him.

I'm not living this life anymore!

"Hehehe, you think dying will be that easy?"

"Not only did you injure me, but more importantly, you're a talent our master values highly. How could I let you descend to the underworld so easily?"

Bai Feng's face twisted savagely as he reached out and crushed one of Qin Yang's arms.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering rang out. Qin Yang's eyes flew wide from the pain, yet he could not even cry out.

But that was not the end. Bai Feng did not stop until he had crushed both Qin Yang's hands and feet!
