Urban Invincible Overlord

Yang Fei turned his head upon hearing the voice and saw a female cultivator appear, with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

This female cultivator looked to be around thirty years old, but in the cultivation world, where techniques for preserving one’s appearance are common, her actual age was likely several hundred years.

She wore a moon-white long dress covered with a pale cyan gauze coat, giving her a transcendent aura as her garments fluttered. Her appearance was exquisitely beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like clear autumn waters. Her high nose and lips, as if painted vermilion, showed that although she was not young, she was well-maintained, her skin as smooth as fine jade.

However, her cold and stunning face bore an air of sternness, her eyes were deep like a pool, seemingly capable of seeing through one’s heart, making others afraid to meet her gaze.

As she stood there, without deliberately releasing her pressure, the unique aura of a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse naturally emanated from her, causing the surrounding air to feel somewhat stagnant.

Based on Li Yang’s address to this person, Yang Fei immediately guessed her identity. He cupped his fists and greeted, "Junior Yang Fei greets True Monarch Xiao Yue."

Xiao Yue nodded slightly, her gaze swept over Yang Fei, a barely noticeable trace of surprise and doubt flashing in her eyes, she said indifferently, "You are the Yang Fei from Earth?"

"Indeed, I am," Yang Fei replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, yet his heart was secretly alert.

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was not to be trifled with. Although he was confident in saving his life against early-stage Nascent Soul opponents, when facing a late-stage master, he might only rely on the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to escape.

Xiao Yue scrutinized Yang Fei for a moment, a complex look flashing in her gaze, before she said, "Yang Fei, do you know the current situation of the Southern Domain?"

"I heard some from Li Yang Fairy earlier," Yang Fei nodded, "There is chaos in the Southern Domain, with Shang Qing Sect facing internal and external troubles, the situation is dire."

"Since you know, you should better understand it is not a time for impulse," Xiao Yue said with an undeniable tone of authority, "Although you are at the late stage of Core Formation, in the entire Southern Domain Cultivation World, such strength is not significant. Especially in Shang Qing Sect, with more than ten masters in the Divinity Transformation Realm, what can you do if you go there? You would only be throwing your life away."

Yang Fei frowned slightly and said in a solemn tone, "I appreciate your kindness, True Monarch. However, my wife, children, and friends are in Shang Qing Sect, and now that there is internal strife, they are in danger. How could I stand by and watch?"

"And what can you do if you go?" Xiao Yue snorted coldly, "Who do you think you are? Just a minor late-stage Core Formation cultivator like you changes the battle outcome? You might not even get past the mountain gate before being slapped to death by those Divinity Transformation Realm masters."

Yang Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I want to die there. I, Yang Fei, may not be a great person, but if I just hide here when my wife and children are in danger, can I still call myself a man?"

Xiao Yue’s eyes flashed with a distinct color, her tone slightly softened, "You are indeed a person of deep emotion and righteousness. However, the cultivation world isn’t a place where sentiment can guarantee survival. With the current unclear situation, it’s more important to consider the bigger picture and stay here, as it’s the safest place."

"True Monarch, my mind is made up," Yang Fei said with firm resolve, unaffected by her words.

Xiao Yue looked at Yang Fei, her gaze flickering with indecision, yet a storm raged in her heart.

After returning to the Flame Moon Sect, she had heard from Li Shuya and others about Yang Fei’s affairs.

When Li Shuya and Ling Shuanghua led the Flame Moon Sect’s masters to hunt down enemies, Yang Fei returned to the mountain beside the main peak for closed-door cultivation. Later, before Li Shuya went to support Shang Qing Sect, he specifically instructed her to guard that mountain and not to let anyone disturb Yang Fei.

She agreed at the time but later couldn’t resist her curiosity and used her Divine Sense to probe the mountain, only to find no trace of Yang Fei.

She initially thought Yang Fei was still in seclusion or using some concealment method, but now Yang Fei suddenly appeared here, causing her great confusion.

There was clearly no Space Transmission Array on that mountain, so how did Yang Fei disappear out of thin air?

And why did he suddenly appear here now?

Unless...

Xiao Yue had a bold guess flash in her mind—Yang Fei must possess a powerful Space type Treasure!

Not only that, Yang Fei came from Earth, holding the secret of Earth’s cultivation resources and a large amount of Genetic Liquid Medicine, the kind of divine medicine that countless cultivators dream of obtaining.

Despite being taken as a closed-door disciple by Wan Daorong and being trained by his side, how much time has passed since then?? For him to have cultivated to the late stage of Core Formation already, such a growth rate is simply astonishing.

There is no need to elaborate on this boy’s cultivation talent. Such fast progress must be related to the abundant cultivation resources and the divine medicine capable of enhancing talent grades.

If she could obtain the treasures and resources that Yang Fei possesses, her chances of breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm would greatly increase.

At this, Xiao Yue couldn’t help but feel a slight temptation in her heart.

Is the Flame Moon Sect still worth staying with?

With the internal chaos in Shang Qing Sect and Wangxian Sect launching an all-out attack, even if Shang Qing Sect manages to overcome this hurdle, its overall strength will inevitably be greatly diminished and no longer capable of rivaling Wangxian Sect. The balance among the high ranks of the Southern Domain Cultivation World has been shattered, ensuring Wangxian Sect will become the strongest in the future.

Years ago, she had secretly formed a deep connection with a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator from Wangxian Sect. Over the years, he frequently contacted her privately, trying to persuade her to defect to Wangxian Sect. However, her sense of gratitude to the Flame Moon Sect had always held her back from agreeing.

But now, it’s different.

With the internal chaos in Shang Qing Sect, most of the Flame Moon Sect’s elite forces have been sent, including Li Shuya leading a team to provide support, leaving her as the lone late-stage Nascent Soul for oversight. Outwardly it seems a sign of trust, but in truth, this sect is already teetering on the brink of collapse.

If Flame Moon Sect falls, where would she go?

Moreover, she has been stuck at this realm for many years and is the weakest among the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect. Even if there was intent to cultivate the next Divinity Transformation Realm master, it wouldn’t fall to her.

With limited talent and no hope of advancement. Without fortuitous encounters, she might never step into the Divinity Transformation Realm in this lifetime.

Yang Fei’s appearance, however, gave her a glimmer of hope.

Yang Fei possesses Earth’s potent cultivation resources and controls a wealth of Genetic Liquid Medicine, the kind of divine medicine.

If she could acquire those resources, her chances to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm would increase significantly.

Moreover, given Yang Fei’s unique status, not only being a disciple of Wan Daorong but also seemingly having a good relationship with Shen Wanjing, coupled with the possession of multiple Supreme Treasures, including possibly a powerful Space Treasure.

If she could control him, whether through defecting to Wangxian Sect or fleeing to the Outer Domain to join another sect, it would be a huge bargaining chip, elevating her status in the new sect.

As for her gratitude to Flame Moon Sect...

Though somewhat conflicted, Xiao Yue quickly dismissed it with a cold smile.

The cultivation world is one where the strong prevail and the weak perish. She has served Flame Moon Sect faithfully for many years, fulfilling her duties. Now, with Flame Moon Sect struggling to stand, she must consider her future.

In an instant, Xiao Yue made her decision.
