Chapter 1671 - 1668: Return to Earth
Lu Guangyuan, upon hearing Lu Jianxing’s words, paused briefly, glanced at Yang Fei, then released Yang Fei’s hand and nodded, saying, "Very well."
In fact, at this point, Shang Daocheng and other cultivators had also noticed something was amiss.
But they mostly believed these experts from the Shang Qing Sect had been ordered to take Yang Fei back to Earth to fetch top-tier resources like gene potion.
What came to their minds was that perhaps the Shang Qing Sect was in urgent need due to the ongoing internal conflict and war with Wangxian Sect, and this might last a long time. Therefore, a large amount of gene potion or top-grade spirit stones is needed to replenish the war effort.
The opponents were from the Shang Qing Sect, and they were at the Divinity Transformation Realm and Nascent Soul Stage. Even if someone suspected this, they wouldn’t dare to speak out.
Upon hearing Lu Guangyuan’s response, Yang Fei was internally overjoyed.
This is great.
They think that using a god-level Demon Suppression Talisman to seal my mana will make me obedient?
Hehe, once we reach Earth, Lu Jianxing will not be in charge.
"Kid, if you cooperate obediently, I promise you that in the future, when you are granted freedom, with your cultivation talent, and me recommending you, you may join Wangxian Sect and be heavily used. But if you dare to play tricks and disobey my grandson’s commands, we won’t care if we gain fewer benefits from Earth, you won’t have it easy. Understand?"
Lu Guangyuan sent a warning to Yang Fei via transmission.
Yang Fei nodded, indicating he understood.
Lu Guangyuan thought over and over, but Yang Fei couldn’t stir up anything significant. After all, Lu Jianxing was at the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, and his spirit root grade had become mutated dual spirit roots. Not to mention Yang Fei was suppressed by the divine talisman, even at the peak of his combat power, Lu Jianxing wouldn’t necessarily suffer a loss.
But he still secretly instructed Lu Jianxing, "Jianxing, this kid’s mana has been restrained, but don’t be careless. The divine talisman will last three months. If you haven’t returned by then, you need to take precautions in advance."
Lu Jianxing transmitted back, "Rest assured, Ancestor. It is said that the Earth space is not large. Grandson will return soon; it won’t take long."
"Hmm, the situation here changes rapidly. Indeed, you must not linger on Earth. When you get there, first seize all the existing gene potion on Earth, then try to collect as many top-grade spirit stones and purple spirit crystals as you can. Everything else is dispensable."
"Grandson understands."
"Go now."
After secretly communicating, Lu Jianxing grabbed Yang Fei’s arm and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Yang, let’s go."
Yang Fei nodded, stepping into the teleportation channel with Lu Jianxing, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
Lu Guangyuan stared at the teleportation channel for a while, not detecting any violent energy fluctuations inside, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had used that mysterious gem many times. Since Lu Jianxing had just taken the stone and entered the teleportation channel smoothly, it was unlikely that anything would go wrong.
Earth, Teleportation Channel Entrance.
Although a peaceful agreement had been reached with the Southern Domain Cultivation World, there were still guards stationed here.
Today’s guard happened to be Hu Lizhong.
Seeing someone coming, Hu Lizhong’s heart tightened. He looked up and was overjoyed to see it was Yang Fei: "Brother Yang."
Yang Fei was taken aback, not expecting Hu Lizhong to be here. He then smiled and said, "Old Hu, why are you here?"
Hu Lizhong said, "Tired of staying in White Jade City, I took the chance to come out and guard here for a while, slaying a few demon beasts. It’s been quite refreshing."
Yang Fei nodded: "Indeed, being stuck in White Jade City for so long is really boring."
Hu Lizhong chuckled, "I’ve been hesitating these days about whether or not to go in and have a look. But thinking about the many experts over there, I’m so weak in this realm that I didn’t dare to try."
Yang Fei laughed heartily.
At this moment, Lu Jianxing grew impatient, instructing sternly: "Don’t waste time; get down to business quickly."
Hu Lizhong had noticed Lu Jianxing long ago and felt the profoundness of his realm. Just one look from him made Hu feel an instinctual fear to kneel.
But thinking that he was with Yang Fei, they must be friends.
He didn’t expect such arrogance towards Yang Fei once this person spoke.
Hu Lizhong was startled, looking at Yang Fei and asking, "Brother Yang, this... this is?"
Yang Fei smiled bitterly: "Old Hu, don’t be nervous. This is a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert. I’m no match for him, and you are even less so. You keep guarding here. I’ll go with this senior to handle something."
Hu Lizhong was greatly shocked, but he could tell Yang Fei was being held hostage.
He was worried but his mind worked quickly.
Even though Yang Fei was temporarily held hostage, this was Earth.
Moreover, it looked like he was taking Yang Fei to White Jade City.
Once there, with the Four Spirits Blood Array, and with Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu present, there might be a chance for Yang Fei to escape.
Furthermore, Yang Fei had said for him to stay there; he wasn’t qualified enough to save Yang Fei.
"Alright."
Seeing that Hu Lizhong didn’t waste any more words, Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lu Jianxing and said, "Let’s go."
Lu Jianxing summoned a flying sword, grabbed Yang Fei’s arm, confirmed the direction, and sped toward White Jade City.
After they had gone a distance, Hu Lizhong pondered for a moment and decisively followed on his flying sword.
That person doesn’t know there’s a teleportation array, but Yang Fei surely does, doesn’t he?
Yet Yang Fei didn’t mention using the teleportation array. Could he be planning something en route?
Though his realm was low, one more person meant one more bit of strength.
On the other side, standing on the flying sword, with Lu Jianxing gripping his arm, Yang Fei’s mind raced.
Returning to Earth and without the threat of Lu Guangyuan, he didn’t really fear Lu Jianxing anymore.
But his mana was sealed; only his Divine Sense could be moved. He was truly uncertain if merely relying on the strength of Divine Sense could contend with Lu Jianxing.
If he couldn’t defeat the opponent with Divine Sense, would he not suffer again?
The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast was injured, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace was in White Jade City. Besides, his mana couldn’t be mobilized; even if he could drive the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace with Divine Sense, its power would be greatly reduced.
The Soul Binding Rope was the same.
Driving it also required mana.
The only hope lay in the Earth’s power law.
According to Li Er, all he needed was to comprehend the Earth’s power law and become akin to inheriting Earth; under the Earth’s power rule system, he would be a god.
Should he try it?
Yang Fei felt tempted multiple times but forced himself to suppress that thought.
It’s better not to act rashly.
His strength in mastering the Earth’s power law hasn’t been tested yet, so confronting a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert directly is extremely challenging.
Moreover, they weren’t far from the transmission channel. If this guy escaped, returning to the Southern Domain would be troublesome too.
Either don’t act or ensure a strike that kills.
They flew for over half an hour, covering thousands of kilometers.
Suddenly, Lu Jianxing snorted coldly, exuding murderous intent.
Yang Fei’s heart tensed, about to inquire, when Lu Jianxing coldly said, "A mere ant dares to follow me all the way. You’re courting death."
