Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1849: Chapter 1055: Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way

After learning the truth, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but feel some pity for this prominent figure of the Dragon Tiger Sect. No wonder he was so agitated upon seeing that woman; he had suffered such a humiliating disgrace.

This encounter also made Yang Xiao feel a sense of kinship with him, as the situations they faced were somewhat similar, with himself being repeatedly humiliated by the female demon of the Heavenly Water Pavilion.

However, unlike Beiyu Ye, Yang Xiao was more resilient. freēwebnovel.com

Judging from what he saw in the Secret Realm, this proud disciple of the Taoist Sect had already been subdued by his senior sister Xiao Qingyun, to the point where he lacked the courage to fight again. But Yang Xiao was different; the flame of revenge in his heart had never been extinguished.

He had waited for three years, hoping for an opportunity, not to prove his greatness but to show everyone that he, Yang Xiao, would personally reclaim everything he had lost.

The female demon of Heavenly Water Pavilion and the Master of Bone Pavilion who stole his lantern handle were included. He had his principles and wouldn’t let others trample him forever.

Meanwhile, Mu Yunshu brought him a message regarding his good brother, Qu Muzhi.

Previously, in order to get Mu Yunshu to give up the chance to go to the Secret Realm, he had reached an agreement with her, and after Qu Muzhi understood the cause, he apologized to Mu Yunshu without hesitation.

Although it wasn’t the tea-serving apology stipulated in the agreement, Mu Yunshu wasn’t insistent and was already very satisfied, acknowledging Yang Xiao’s promise.

After putting down the phone, Yang Xiao felt grateful; at crucial moments, these good brothers were reliable.

Though he suspected it was just a tacit romantic game between the two, Yang Xiao indeed benefited substantially from it, an undeniable fact.

Yang Xiao wanted to message Mu Yunshu, asking her to inform him of such good deeds next time. But on second thought, that didn’t seem right, as his good brother Qu Muzhi also needed his dignity.

Having drunk some wine, Yang Xiao felt a bit tired and planned to take a nap. He lay on the bed, pulling the blanket up to his chin, and drifted off into sleep.

After an unknown period, Yang Xiao woke up groggily, realizing it was already dark outside; he had slept until evening.

Sitting up, Yang Xiao felt a vague, inexplicable sense of oddity, as if something had happened while he was asleep.

His first thought was about the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, so he willed the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes to appear in his hand.

Upon inspection, he was shocked—the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, originally embroidered at the chest, was gone, an empty space left in its place. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

This was the territory of the Ju Mountain Family, capable of taking the Wordless Heavenly Scripture from the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes without a trace, and no one but Jiushan Cangxuan could have done it.

Yang Xiao never expected this old guy, who spoke well, would dare to sneakily play dirty tricks on him behind his back.

He was certain that Jiushan Cangxuan predicted that Yang Xiao wouldn’t dare to speak out, forcing him to accept this silent loss.

"Jiushan Cangxuan, you’re vicious!" Yang Xiao shook with rage, never had he been robbed before, as it was always him who took things from others—the indignation was tough for Yang Xiao to swallow.

Losing the Wordless Heavenly Scripture was minor; what Yang Xiao realized was even more frightening—the exposure of his Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes.

Since Jiushan Cangxuan could silently steal the Wordless Heavenly Scripture from it, he must have gathered intelligence about the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes.

Thinking back, Yang Xiao immediately noticed the problem during the time he permitted Jiushan Cangxuan to use the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.

The opponent had bound his wrist with that Shimenawa, simultaneously gaining the usage rights of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture—it must have been then when this old man, known as the foremost Spiritual Apostle of Japan, sensed the existence of the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes.

What a grave mistake! Yang Xiao couldn’t believe he unintentionally made such a fatal error!

To Yang Xiao, this event was akin to the sky collapsing. The Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes were his greatest secret, with only Elder Sheng, besides him, knowing—neither his father-like figure Nalan Shuo nor close friends Tong Han, Fu Qingzhu were aware.

It was one of the Innate Nine Treasures, a coveted object by Apostles worldwide—even someone as famed for gentlemanly conduct as Jiushan Cangxuan couldn’t be trusted.

Moreover, Jiushan Cangxuan’s gentlemanly reputation took a substantial hit in Yang Xiao’s mind due to this.

This place was no longer safe; the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes had been exposed, and the Jiushan Family could strike at any moment.

In the face of supreme treasure, the identity of a Patrol Defense Office envoy wasn’t sufficient to hold them—the treasure’s weight was enough for them to take the risk.

His complex life journey forced Yang Xiao to calm down, knowing the more complicated the situation, the calmer he needed to be to survive.

Currently, the Jiushan Family hadn’t acted against him, which was curious in itself; Yang Xiao guessed they were waiting for an opportunity. Hastily leaving now would only play into their trap.

If he left the Jiushan Family residence on his own, he’d be in true danger, giving Jiushan Cangxuan ample reason to shirk responsibility for any harm he encountered.

They would kill him on his way out and attribute the murder to the Ghost Sect.

With Tong Han still in their hands, he’d be the perfect witness, given Tong Han’s awareness of the recent conspiracy by the Kah Party against him, making it all fit logically.
