Chapter 1605 - 1602: Farewell to Ling Shuanghua
"Gone?"
Qin Yanyang walked up to Yang Fei and asked softly.
Yang Fei scanned the area with his Divine Sense, nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Gone."
Tong Yunshu also came over, looking at Yang Fei’s pale face with concern, "Are you okay?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "I’m fine, just that negotiating with Zhou Wanqing earlier was mentally exhausting and took quite a toll on my state of mind. Plus, I’ve already been stretched thin fighting Mu Qingchuan and a dozen others before, if Zhou Wanqing hadn’t decided to let it go, I truly wouldn’t have known what to do."
He looked at the two women with concern, "How about you? Did the Heart-devouring Pill have any effect on your bodies?"
Qin Yanyang shook her head, "No major issues for now, as long as we take the antidote, our Cultivation will recover within three days."
Yang Fei was relieved upon hearing this.
He was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and he looked sharply into the distance.
The two women also noticed something was off and turned to Yang Fei.
"What’s wrong?" Qin Yanyang asked.
Yang Fei frowned and sent a message to the two women, "There’s an extremely powerful Divine Sense scanning here, at least Nascent Soul Peak, possibly even Divinity Transformation Stage."
The women’s expressions changed.
Nascent Soul Peak, possibly Divinity Transformation Stage?
"Let’s go!"
Yang Fei made a quick decision, reached out to grab the two women, and prepared to use the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to retreat to Earth.
Given his current state, combined with the fact that the two women had just taken the antidote for the Heart-devouring Pill and needed three days for their Cultivation to recover, the three of them were too weak; even a late-stage Core Formation expert could threaten them, let alone a late-stage Nascent Soul Master.
But at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared before the three of them.
"Hold on!"
A woman in a flowing white gown, with unparalleled beauty and extraordinary demeanor, appeared in front of them.
Seeing the newcomer, Yang Fei felt slightly relieved, but also a bit wary.
"Sect Master Ling?"
The person was none other than Ling Shuanghua of Flame Moon Sect.
Ling Shuanghua looked at Yang Fei and the others, surprised, "Yang Fei? How did you get here?"
Then her expression changed with astonishment, "You’re already late stage Core Formation? This..."
She didn’t continue, but the shock in her heart was indescribable.
If she recalled correctly, when Flame Moon Sect disciples entered Earth, Yang Fei was only at Foundation Establishment Cultivation. Even if he was at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm at the time, how many years have passed since then, and how could he have already reached late stage Core Formation?
Although Wan Daorong was known as the Master of Ten Thousand Cultivators in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, he wasn’t that miraculous. Just pointing this kid for over twenty years shouldn’t have allowed such rapid Realm advancement?
As Ling Shuanghua was stunned, Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, released the hands of the two women, and said respectfully, "Senior Ling, I was about to ask you the same thing. How did you appear here?"
Ling Shuanghua forcefully suppressed her inner shock, "This place is within my Flame Moon Sect territory. I sensed intense Spiritual Power fluctuations here earlier, so I came to check it out, surprised to encounter you all."
She looked over Yang Fei and the two women with a slight frown, "You encountered trouble?"
Yang Fei smiled bitterly and briefly recounted the earlier events.
Ling Shuanghua’s complexion changed drastically after listening, "What did you say? Mu Qingchuan from the Mu Family, a middle-stage Nascent Soul Master, was after you?"
Yang Fei nodded, detailing how he previously incurred a feud with the Mu Family, and while out searching for Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, inadvertently leaked the news and got pursued, with both parties entangled for over ten days.
Ling Shuanghua took a deep breath and looked at Yang Fei with a strange expression, "Are you sure you’re not bragging?"
Yang Fei replied, "I wouldn’t dare to boast in front of a senior."
Ling Shuanghua knew of the formidable treasures in Yang Fei’s possession and hadn’t taken them too seriously before, but now found herself slightly coveting them.
But she quickly suppressed this thought.
The sect’s relationship with Earth was harmonious, especially after Old Li Shuya returned last time and instructed her to treat Earth Cultivators well, particularly to maintain good relations with Yang Fei. She understood that she absolutely couldn’t make a move against this young man.
"You mentioned that Zhou Wanqing from Wushen sect just left?" She took a deep breath and asked further.
Yang Fei nodded, "Yes."
Ling Shuanghua’s eyes gleamed upon hearing this.
Five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!
Honestly, she yearned to chase after and kill him to seize those half a million top-grade Spirit Stones.
But the opponent likely had moved far away, and Yang Fei’s unique identity posed a risk; if something happened within Flame Moon Sect territory, she couldn’t explain to Li Shuya, prioritizing the young man’s safety was paramount.
Also, this boy seemed quite wealthy.
But she knew Earth was rich in Spirit Stone resources, and as Earth’s most powerful being, it was no surprise Yang Fei had plenty of them.
"You’re clever, knowing how to handle this." Ling Shuanghua nodded approvingly, "Zhou Wanqing is sensible, knowing better than to offend those behind you, making a wise choice where everyone wins."
Yang Fei laughed, "I had no choice, had to gamble once."
Ling Shuanghua silently nodded.
When Yang Fei wasn’t in the Southern Domain yet, she only heard about him through disciples who entered Earth, learning that this young man was bold, cautious, and ruthless.
Later, facing Divinity Transformation Realm Masters visiting Earth, Yang Fei could handle them calmly, showing his ingenuity and resourcefulness.
Now it seems, not only does the boy possess outstanding Cultivation talent, but he also excels in navigating the Cultivation World; his future achievements seem boundless.
She glanced at the three, frowning, "Currently, you three are in dire condition, better come with me to Flame Moon Sect for recuperation. Once you recover, you can decide whether to stay or leave. If anything happens within my sect’s territory, not only would my ancestor Li Shuya not spare me, Shang Qing Sect’s Master Wan wouldn’t let it pass either; I can’t bear that responsibility."
Yang Fei smiled, "You’re too kind, senior. Nonetheless, since I haven’t seen Old Ancestor Li Shuya for many years, now that I’m in your sect’s territory, it’s only right for the junior to pay respects."
If not for hiring Li Shuya to escort him all the way to Shang Qing Sect, and later, facing the couple on Tianzhu Peak, with Li Shuya courageously stepping forward and supporting him, Yang Fei and the others wouldn’t feel comfortable heading to Flame Moon Sect, fearing walking into a trap.
But now, he wasn’t concerned.
Li Shuya is a decent man, trustworthy.
Moreover, he wants to see if Li Shuya changed after receiving a large vial of Genetic Liquid Medicine, whether like his mentor Wan Daorong, the long-constrained Realm bottleneck loosened under its influence.
