Urban Invincible Overlord

Wang Pengfei had originally been somewhat polite toward Xiao Yanfei, but when he heard this, his face instantly sank. "Brother Xiao, even my parents can’t control me. You still think you can control my freedom?"

Xiao Yanfei felt a headache coming on.

Their master was actually quite reasonable, and he cherished his disciples very much. At the very least, he had never let them suffer grievances outside. Compared to the disciples of the other branches of the Shang Qing Sect, the disciples of Tianzhu Peak were fortunate.

But their mistress’s temperament was much more extreme, especially having given birth to a son like Wang Pengfei, whose morals were rotten and who feared neither heaven nor earth.

He couldn’t even remember how many times he’d had to clean up after this little junior brother’s messes.

He had even taken the blame for this little junior brother several times and been punished by the Sect Leader uncle because of it.

Yet this junior brother had never truly felt any gratitude or respect toward him from the bottom of his heart—that much he knew.

Not being thanked was something Xiao Yanfei wouldn’t have cared about—after all, his master had shown him great favor, and every time he helped Wang Pengfei, his mistress would also give him ample benefits and rewards.

But right now, Wang Pengfei’s attitude of treating him completely like a servant to be ordered around at will made Xiao Yanfei secretly displeased.

The key point was: even though he was currently under orders to keep an eye on the other, if he made him unhappy, the guy only had to complain to mistress, and he himself would still be scolded by her.

That mistress’s favoritism toward this junior brother was downright abnormal.

"Junior brother, what are you saying? If not for Master back then, how could I, Xiao Yanfei, be where I am today? Master and Mistress have long since surpassed my birth parents in my heart. As for you, junior brother, I’ve always treated you like my own blood brother. Don’t you know that?" Xiao Yanfei said patiently.

Wang Pengfei also thought of the care Xiao Yanfei had shown him over the years, and his tone softened considerably. He said, "Senior brother, I know you’re only acting under orders, and you’re doing it for my safety. But the moment I think about my current situation, there’s a fire stuck in my chest. That little thief Yang Fei hasn’t been caught yet, so I can’t do anything to him for now. But his wife and child have fallen into our hands, and those ants from Earth are all locked up in the prison behind the mountain. I can at least vent my anger on them first, right?"

Xiao Yanfei gave a bitter smile. "I can understand junior brother’s feelings, but Master and Mistress specifically instructed that they still have great use and that you absolutely cannot torture them to death."

Wang Pengfei seized on the loophole in his words and immediately promised, "Don’t worry, senior brother, I definitely won’t kill them. I swear I’m just going to vent a bit of anger."

Xiao Yanfei was speechless.

Like hell I can rest easy.

When has this brat’s promise ever counted for anything?

If I’m the slightest bit careless and you end up torturing them to death, how am I supposed to explain myself to Master and Mistress?

He forced himself to be patient and advised, "Junior brother, I think the most important thing is still to capture Yang Fei, that true culprit. With these hostages in our hands, that little thief Yang Fei will definitely come to rescue them. When that time comes, you can torment him however you like. As for those people being held, even if you slaughter them all, senior brother thinks it still won’t truly ease your hatred. Better to endure for now."

Wang Pengfei snorted. "Senior brother, you’re determined not to let me feel better, is that it?"

Xiao Yanfei gave a bitter smile. "How could that be? How about this—I’ll go find a few beauties..."

"No interest. But I did hear that that thief Yang Fei’s Dao partner looks quite good. That kind of woman, a proper virtuous wife, I’m actually a bit interested in. Heh heh, doesn’t senior brother want to have some fun too? I know you like that kind of woman the most." Wang Pengfei said with a grin.

Xiao Yanfei let out a dry laugh, and Helian Rong’s delicate face flashed through his mind, indeed making his heart beat a little faster.

But he quickly suppressed that thought and said solemnly, "Once the situation is settled, whatever you want to do, senior brother will accompany you. But right now, those people truly can’t be touched. This isn’t just something Master and Mistress specifically instructed; the people of Wangxian Sect also ordered that these important hostages be guarded carefully. It’s said that little thief Yang Fei still hasn’t been found. For the sake of that Divine Medicine Genetic Liquid Medicine, Wangxian Sect is determined to get their hands on that little thief Yang Fei, so they place great importance on these ants from Earth and think they’re of great use."

Wang Pengfei couldn’t care less about such reasoning. Although his Realm had now stabilized again, his foundation was already damaged. Given the current situation, he would never step into the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime. This hatred, he had to avenge.

This time, his parents had joined forces with experts from Wangxian Sect to launch a rebellion. Now all the critical areas of Wangxian Sect had fallen into their side’s hands. The many disciples of the three branches of Shangqing Peak, Tian Nan Peak, and Qingyun Peak had been suppressed on the spot and imprisoned. Later, when Xiao Shuhui saw the situation turning bad, she also led Beiming Peak to submit.

With the experts of Wangxian Sect assisting, Shang Qing Sect was now under his father’s control.

It was just a pity that Yang Fei hadn’t been at Tian Nan Peak at the time, otherwise he would have long since fallen into his hands.

But even if Yang Fei wasn’t here, Wang Pengfei felt he could still vent his anger on Yang Fei’s wife and child first.

Yet Xiao Yanfei stopped him, which only made the fury and irritability in his heart surge all the more.

"Brother Xiao, are you forcing me to lose my temper? I’ve fallen to this state all thanks to that dog thief Yang Fei. Now I only want to take a little interest first, and you still want to block me?" A hint of anger appeared on Wang Pengfei’s face as he glared hard at Xiao Yanfei.

Xiao Yanfei wanted to keep persuading him, but then he heard Wang Pengfei say, "I promise I won’t kill a single one of them. Surely that’s enough to set your mind at ease?"

Xiao Yanfei thought it over and felt that given Wang Pengfei’s current state, if he himself followed along, even if the guy wanted to kill those ants from Earth right in front of him, he could still stop it in time.

Anyway, as long as those people were still alive, they remained useful. As for whether they were tortured or not, who would care?

Besides, even if Yang Fei found out in the future, so what? Would he stop wanting his wife and child because of it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yanfei weighed the consequences of completely enraging Wang Pengfei, then said, "I can go with you to have a look, but you must promise me one thing: you absolutely must not kill anyone."

Wang Pengfei was overjoyed when he heard this and laughed. "Brother Xiao still dotes on me best. Hahaha, don’t worry, I promise not to kill anyone. Besides, with you following, I wouldn’t be able to kill anyone even if I wanted to."

With that, he rose into the air, using Sword Control to speed off toward the back mountain.

Xiao Yanfei immediately followed.

The back mountain of Tianzhu Peak wasn’t directly behind Tianzhu Peak, but rather lay beyond a mountain range stretching for hundreds of li. This place, within the territory of the seven main branches of Shang Qing Sect, was where the Spiritual Energy was most scarce and the yin energy densest. Thus, ever since the founding of Shang Qing Sect, it had been designated as the Sect’s prison grounds.

Imprisoned here were those Evil Cultivators and demonic cultivators that Shang Qing Sect had captured over the years, all of them guilty of heinous crimes. Of course, there were also disciples who had betrayed the Sect or committed sins within it.

During this internal chaos in Shang Qing Sect, the disciples of the various branches that were suppressed by the rebels at the first moment were likewise imprisoned here.
