Chapter 23 Qu Feiyan: Am I Going to Die Just Like That?
It turned out that Fei Bin from the Mount Song Sect had pursued them all the way, determined to eliminate them completely.
Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang were gravely injured and had no strength to resist. Facing Fei Bin’s threat, Qu Feiyan desperately tried to defend herself but was no match for him.
With just a few casual moves, Fei Bin easily defeated her. Pointing his longsword at Qu Feiyan’s throat, Fei Bin sneered at Qu Yang and said, “Elder Qu, I’ll first stab out your granddaughter’s left eye, then cut off her nose, and then slice off both of her ears.”
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan was both terrified and enraged. She let out a desperate cry, leaped forward, and threw herself onto the longsword, attempting to take her own life.
However, Fei Bin had already anticipated this. With a swift retraction of his sword, he extended his left index finger and struck a pressure point on her body.
Qu Feiyan’s acupoint was sealed, and she flipped over, collapsing onto the ground.
Fei Bin burst into laughter, “Demonic sect scum! You’ve committed countless atrocities. Even in death, you won’t have it easy! Let’s start by taking out that left eye of yours!”
With that, he lifted his sword and prepared to stab Qu Feiyan’s left eye.

Dressed in immaculate white, West Gate Snow stood with an expressionless face, utterly cold and detached. His piercing eyes revealed nothing—no emotion, no love, no desire, as if he had severed all ties with human sentiment. However, upon seeing Fei Bin’s arrogant provocation in the livestream chat, a flash of killing intent appeared in his gaze.
Though West Gate Snow appeared aloof, he had a strong sense of justice. He only killed those who deserved it, and he was willing to travel thousands of miles to avenge the innocent. The ruthless acts of the Mount Song Sect, as displayed on the great projection, had ignited his bloodlust.
Unfortunately, he was unable to cross the sea to the Smiling Proud Wanderer state. This was precisely why Fei Bin felt so fearless. Otherwise, even Left Cold Zen himself might not be able to withstand a single strike from West Gate Snow.

At Hengyang city, Qu Feiyan, who was traveling to Liu’s residence with her grandfather, turned pale.
“Am I… really going to die like that?”
Although the Qu Feiyan in the projection had displayed unyielding courage, at that point, she had no other choice. Now, before reaching such a desperate situation, she naturally did not want to die. She was only thirteen.
She still had a long life ahead of her—so many wonders of the world to explore, so many experiences yet to be had. How could she accept such an early death?
“Feifei, it’s all my fault for dragging you into this!”
Qu Yang looked remorseful, but he did not stop his march towards Liu’s residence.
“Grandfather, it’s alright. I don’t blame you.”
Qu Feiyan shook her head, but the forced smile on her face was stiff and unnatural.

Ye Luochuan, having already known Qu Feiyan’s fate, sighed inwardly. Back when he first read Smiling Proud Wanderer, Qu Feiyan’s death had caught him completely off guard.
Her personality was so similar to Huang Rong’s,
She was beautiful, even her name was lovely—She practically had all the characteristics of a female protagonist. Yet, in the end, she was never meant to be the heroine.
Fortunately, now that everything had been exposed through the livestream. Unless Qu Yang was utterly insane. She should be able to avoid this tragic fate.

In the projection, just as Fei Bin was about to mutilate Qu Feiyan, a loud voice suddenly interrupted him. The one who spoke—was Linghu Chong.
It turned out that Linghu Chong, still recovering under Yilin’s care, happened to stumble upon this scene. Grateful for the lifesaving kindness shown by the Qu family. He couldn’t bear to let Qu Feiyan die under Fei Bin’s sword. So he stepped forward to intervene.
Linghu Chong invoked the name of chivalry, urging Fei Bin to show mercy. Fei Bin refused, instead slandering Linghu Chong as a demonic sect heretic and attempting to kill him.
Yilin also stepped in, reminding Fei Bin that the Mount Song Sect was the leader of the Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance—A beacon of righteousness in the martial world—and that they should always act with honor.
Yilin’s words were spoken with sincerity, but Fei Bin, guilty and insecure, heard them only as mockery.
He thought to himself, I might as well finish the job. If a single person escapes today, my reputation will be ruined.
Even though I am killing demonic cultists, torturing captives is unbefitting of a hero. People will look down on me!
With that in mind, he resolved to silence everyone present, spitting out obscene insults as he prepared to kill.
Linghu Chong refused to surrender, but he was outmatched. As for Qu Feiyan—with a swift stroke of Fei Bin’s sword, It plunged into her heart.
She perished instantly.
Just as Fei Bin was grinning viciously, ready to slaughter Linghu Chong and Yilin—A haunting tune suddenly echoed through the air.
The sound was mournful, like sighs of regret, like silent weeping, like raindrops tapping against the leaves.
Fei Bin’s heart trembled.
“Could it be… Night Rain of the Xiao Xiang—Mister Mo Da has arrived?”
Sure enough, as the tune faded, Mo Da stepped out from behind a pine tree.
