Urban Invincible Overlord

Ling Shuanghua and the three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators of the Flame Moon Sect faced Su Baili, a Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm master, feeling a sense of powerlessness. The vast gap in cultivation realm was like a chasm between mortals and heavenly gods, making even breathing heavy for them.

What shocked them even more was that Su Baili did not even regard them in his eyes.

This Divinity Transformation Realm master of the Wangxian Sect had a face as somber as water, and with a raise of his hand, a peculiar magic treasure emitting a ghostly blue light flew out from his sleeve.

The magic treasure was shaped like a copper mirror, with an inscrutable array of ancient runes engraved on its surface, emanating a daunting aura.

"Heaven Peeping Mirror!" Li Shuya’s voice echoed from deep within the mountain, filled with astonishment.

Su Baili snorted coldly, activating the spell in his hand, causing the Heaven Peeping Mirror to burst forth with brilliant light.

An invisible ripple emanated from its surface, expanding in all directions, bypassing the array restrictions meticulously set by Ye Xiaojun, penetrating directly.

Ye Xiaojun’s expression changed dramatically. Although she was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, her spiritual sense cultivation was not comparable to Su Baili, a long-acclaimed Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm master.

She gritted her teeth and exerted all her power to activate the array, trying to block the probe of the Heaven Peeping Mirror, but the gap between the two sides was too vast. The array restriction, under the power of the Heaven Peeping Mirror, was like paper, only holding for a breath before being forcibly torn open to form a crack.

Powerful divine sense poured through the crack like a flood, instantly taking in all the scenes inside Li Shuya’s residence.

Yang Fei and the others didn’t have time to hide in the dark array before being locked onto by Su Baili’s divine sense.

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu’s expressions changed dramatically. Although the two women had been through numerous life-and-death situations, the feeling of being locked onto by a Divinity Transformation Realm master’s divine sense was terrifying.

Both their bodies and souls were like being bound, beyond their control.

It felt as if with just one thought from the other party, both their bodies and souls would turn to ashes and dissipate.

Too strong!

The disparity was simply despairing!

Yang Fei was also filled with shock.

Though it wasn’t the first time being locked onto by a Late-stage Divinity Transformation master’s divine sense, feeling it again was still utterly uncomfortable.

But since discovered, there’s no need to hide anymore.

He gently tapped the shoulders of the two women, indicating they needn’t worry, then calmly stood in place, facing Su Baili behind the Heaven Peeping Mirror.

Li Shuya muttered under his breath and flashed into view before Yang Fei and the others. With a wave of his hand, a vast spiritual power barrier shielded Yang Fei and the others, blocking Su Baili’s divine sense probing.

"Su Baili, you’re going too far!" Li Shuya’s voice held anger, "Entering our Flame Moon Sect’s mountain gate uninvited, forcefully probing my residence—though you are of the Wangxian Sect, do you really think Li Shuya is a pushover?"

Su Baili withdrew the Heaven Peeping Mirror, flashed in movement, and stood with hands behind in the sky outside Li Shuya’s residence.

His gaze was like lightning, penetrating the courtyard walls and landing straight on Yang Fei, with the pressure of a Late-stage Divinity Transformation master making the surrounding air stagnant.

"Li Shuya, did you dare deceive me earlier?" Su Baili’s voice was exceptionally calm, yet the calmer the tone, the more one sensed the contained murderous intent, "You knew my nephew’s granddaughter was in danger yet deliberately hid the truth from me. Do you think with your Flame Moon Sect’s capabilities, you can protect him?"

Li Shuya’s expression shifted but quickly returned to normal.

The Flame Moon Sect, affiliated with Shang Qing Sect, was now closely tied to Yang Fei’s development, how could he overlook Yang Fei’s survival?

He even felt it was heaven giving the Flame Moon Sect and himself an opportunity.

If they could pass this test, Yang Fei would undoubtedly be grateful to him, potentially increasing resources available to him and the Flame Moon Sect.

He chuckled coldly, "Su Baili, my words were all true. Young friend Yang Fei was indeed a guest at Flame Moon Sect, but that’s because I have old ties with Master Wan; he is Master Wan’s closed-door disciple, naturally I must treat him well. As for your granddaughter and Mr. Jiang’s granddaughter, I truly don’t know their whereabouts—this I did not lie about."

"Didn’t lie?" Su Baili’s expression darkened, "Do you think I didn’t know Yang Fei was among the participants of the battle that occurred west of your Flame Moon Sect? Why didn’t you openly state Yang Fei was within your sect?"

Li Shuya evaded seriously, "I merely didn’t want unnecessary trouble. Yang Fei being a guest at the Flame Moon Sect, I felt no need to specially inform you, as it isn’t related to your granddaughter’s disappearance."

Su Baili’s eyes flashed coldly, "Li Shuya, do you truly want to oppose my Wangxian Sect? Do you not know your Flame Moon Sect is far from Shang Qing Sect? If Wangxian Sect really wants to destroy your mountain gate, Shang Qing Sect cannot protect you?"

This statement made all Flame Moon Sect cultivators present change color.

Ling Shuanghua and the others looked to Li Shuya, their hearts restless and anxious.

While the Flame Moon Sect was considered a significant force in the Southern Domain, compared to a behemoth like the Wangxian Sect, it was indeed far lacking.

Should Wangxian Sect truly wish to annihilate Flame Moon Sect, with Su Baili’s strength as a Late-stage Divinity Transformation master, plus Wangxian Sect’s backing, Flame Moon Sect could not withstand.

Yet Li Shuya remained unfazed. As the sect’s patriarch, he naturally had the sect’s safety at heart, but now he could not retreat.

Yang Fei’s identity was too special, being more than just Master Wan’s closed-door disciple. More importantly, he was closely tied to the recently revived plane world on Earth. If Su Baili was allowed to take Yang Fei away, consequences would be unimaginable.

"Su Baili, don’t bother pressing your Wangxian Sect against me." Li Shuya said solemnly, "Wangxian Sect is indeed strong, but Flame Moon Sect is no pushover. Besides, young friend Yang Fei is Master Wan’s closed-door disciple of Shang Qing Sect—if you harm him, won’t you fear Shang Qing Sect settling scores with your Wangxian Sect?"

Su Baili frowned slightly, aware of Shang Qing Sect’s strength, yet Wangxian Sect and Shang Qing Sect had long been rivals in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, engaging in overt and covert strife for years, so he wasn’t afraid to offend them.

Since Yang Fei was now found, he was contemplating if it was possible with his power alone to take Yang Fei away.

This was pivotal to securing the vast spirit ore resources of Earth and the divine medicine known as genetic liquid medicine.

The two confronted each other momentarily, and the air seemed to solidify. The lower cultivation cultivators found breathing difficult and retreated afar.

Eventually, Su Baili sighed lightly, his tone easing a bit, "Li Shuya, I am not unreasonable. You and I are both Divinity Transformation cultivators, understanding how hard it is to reach this stage. I have only one granddaughter, and she’s been missing for days, my heart is anxious, you must understand."

Li Shuya nodded, "Daoist Su’s feelings, I naturally understand. But young friend Yang Fei indeed has old ties with Flame Moon Sect, I cannot let you harm him."

Su Baili waved his hand, "I am not looking to make things difficult for you. Let the young one come out and meet me face to face, I will ask him directly if he knows about my granddaughter and Nephew Jiang’s granddaughter’s disappearance. If indeed irrelevant to him, I will leave immediately without lingering."

Li Shuya looked at Yang Fei, and seeing him nod slightly, stepped aside to clear the way.
