Chapter 1589 - 1586: Taking Action, Soul Cutting Treasure
The bustling city of Huoyue, while not matching the grandeur of Shifang City or the County City of Qinghe County, is still a formidable city with numerous cultivators, making it relatively prosperous.
The wide streets are teeming with people, while the shops on either side are filled with various magic treasures, elixirs, and talismans.
Yang Fei went directly into a pill medicine shop that seemed quite sizable.
He had been in pursuit all the way here, frequently unleashing his divine sense to search the surrounding forests, hoping to catch a trace of Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu somewhere along the way, thus his divine soul was quickly depleted, and he ran out of Yunling Pills, requiring some replenishment.
"What can I get for you, sir?" The shop attendant, noticing Yang Fei’s imposing demeanor, hurriedly approached him.
"Give me two bottles of top-grade Yunling Pills," Yang Fei said calmly.
"Alright!" The attendant quickly went to the counter, taking two jade bottles off the shelf. "Sir, these two bottles of Yunling Pills are the best in our shop, sixty pieces per bottle, a hundred and twenty pieces for two bottles, and the price is..."
"How many spirit stones?" Yang Fei interrupted him.
"Fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones for one bottle, a hundred thousand for two. However, since you are buying two bottles at once, I can decide to give you a nine..." The attendant barely finished speaking when Yang Fei slapped a top-grade spirit stone onto the counter.
"Is that enough?"
The attendant’s eyes lit up, nodding quickly: "More than enough, honorable sir!"
A top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and a mid-grade spirit stone equals a hundred low-grade spirit stones, making a top-grade spirit stone worth a million low-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, due to the scarcity of top-grade spirit stones, their value is often even higher than a million low-grade spirit stones.
Although the shop was quite large, it seldom met customers who paid directly with top-grade spirit stones. Moreover, the spirit stone Yang Fei provided was of excellent quality, naturally delighting the attendant.
Yang Fei picked up two bottles of Yunling Pills and was about to leave when he was suddenly drawn to a scene in the corner of the shop.
In the corner sat two female cultivators, speaking softly about something.
The two female cultivators had graceful figures and lovely features. Although not as stunning as national beauties, they were rare and beautiful in their own right.
However, what shocked Yang Fei was not their appearance but the fact that he recognized them.
They were the two female Core Formation cultivators from the Wangxian Sect who had conspired with Lu Jianxing at the Lu Family Estate in Qinghe County, the ones who planned to cooperate with True Monarch Cang Yuan to assassinate him!
Enemies meet, and the sight is infuriating!
Murderous intent surged within Yang Fei instantly.
Suddenly, Yang Fei felt a jolt in his heart as the two women’s divine sense swept over him, detecting the fleeting moment of his murderous intent.
How vigilant!
Yang Fei was secretly astonished, reined in his emotions, and pretended not to notice the divine sense probing from the two women.
However, these two women did not recognize him.
Initially, he had hidden in the shadows using his divine sense to spy on the two women, and they hadn’t detected him; it was Lu Jianxing who unexpectedly returned and discovered him, thus revealing his presence. Now, with Lu Jianxing seemingly not here, he didn’t fear being recognized.
Yet that day Lu Jianxing pursued him relentlessly, nearly costing him his life. Additionally, these two women had colluded with Lu Jianxing and Cang Yuan to target him, a grudge he must repay.
Originally, Yang Fei was not the type to delay revenge. Since Lu Jianxing was a middle stage Nascent Soul powerhouse and although he had annihilated True Monarch Cang Yuan’s body with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman, his Nascent Soul remained. Facing these strong opponents, he didn’t dare challenge them head-on and decided to suppress the grudge for now, planning to settle it later.
Now, encountering these two female cultivators here, how could he let them go?
"Calm down!" He advised himself internally.
It’s possible that Lu Jianxing and Cang Yuan were nearby. If he acted rashly, he might be counterattacked by them.
Yang Fei left the pill medicine shop, distancing himself under the probing of the two women’s divine senses.
Inside the shop, Su Jingshu withdrew her divine sense and telepathically asked, "Senior Sister Jiang, didn’t that person seem hostile towards us?"
Jiang Xinyun nodded, responding telepathically, "Yes, I sensed it too. However, we seem not to know this person, and although he has concealed his cultivation, it should be equivalent to ours, at the middle stage Core Formation level. We are two; he is alone, so we don’t fear him. Still, this place isn’t safe to linger. Let’s leave first and discuss later."
Su Jingshu nodded, and both of them left the pill medicine shop.
After Yang Fei left the shop, once the divine sense probing from the two women left him, he quietly returned, secretly monitoring the two inside the shop.
With the strength of his divine sense now, spying on these two secretly posed no risk of being discovered.
He was genuinely concerned about whether Lu Jianxing and True Monarch Cang Yuan might also be following secretly.
After all, last time these individuals plotted together to confront him.
Even if he planned to act against these two women, he had to watch secretly first, ensuring Lu Jianxing and True Monarch Cang Yuan weren’t around them.
After a short while, those two left the pill medicine shop.
Yang Fei discreetly followed, maintaining a safe distance.
The two female cultivators strolled around the city for more than half an hour, purchasing some items, and then headed towards the outskirts of the city. Exiting the city, the two women steered a spirit boat swiftly northward.
To avoid detection, Yang Fei used stealth techniques while trailing them, finding it somewhat strenuous.
In a blink, they’d traveled a hundred miles away from Huoyue City, and as Yang Fei continued to follow the two women, he used his divine sense to explore the surroundings, remaining vigilant for any appearance of Lu Jianxing or True Monarch Cang Yuan.
He couldn’t help but wonder whether encountering these two female cultivators here was too coincidental.
Could they have learned about his movements through some channel and ambushed here, waiting for him?
But after a thorough consideration, Yang Fei felt he might be overly cautious.
His whereabouts were highly secretive; even if people from Shang Qing Sect knew he had left the sect, his return to Earth to seclude himself for ten years was something few knew. He had already spent nearly four years in the Southern Domain World, moving secretly all the way to find Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang, impossible to be discovered.
Following at a distance for several more miles, Yang Fei grew impatient.
Chasing those who maneuvered a spirit boat using his stealth technique was excessively tiring, consuming vast energy, and not worthwhile.
He locked his divine sense onto one of them, precisely the female cultivator named Su Jingshu, and in the next instant, he activated continuous instant teleportation mode, rapidly closing the gap.
Initially, Su Jingshu and Jiang Xinyun weren’t aware of anyone trailing them, but when Yang Fei’s divine sense intensely locked onto Su Jingshu, as a middle stage Core Formation expert from the Wangxian Sect, Su Jingshu wasn’t comparable to ordinary mid stage Core Formation cultivators, prompting vigilance. She swiftly wielded a Red Banner behind her, shouting, "Bold thief, daring to ambush this lady!"
A red light screen appeared, instantly enveloping her body.
Yang Fei’s mind buzzed with a sharp pain, as if struck a heavy blow secretly by someone, causing agony.
Such a powerful soul cutting treasure!
