Chapter 1718 - 1715: Departure
Ever since he sensed that Lu Jianxing’s Life Soul Lamp had gone out, Lu Guangyuan had been holding a pent-up anger without any outlet.
Now seeing a mere Foundation Establishment youngster dare to call his name directly, and with a questioning tone, his anger instantly soared.
Moreover, listening to the other’s attitude, it seemed to indicate a close relationship with Yang Fei, who had killed his grandson, fueling his need for vengeance.
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Lu Guangyuan’s eyes as he looked at Sun Xingyu.
However, before he could speak, as the murderous intent flashed on his body, the seven Flame Family experts on the Spirit Ship simultaneously fixed their gaze on him.
The pressure from seven Late stage Divinity Transformation Realm Masters immediately caused Lu Guangyuan’s body to tremble.
He was struck as if hit on the head, suddenly waking up.
This lad was standing on the Spirit Ship, and beside him was Yan Xihua, even though he was just a weakling at the Foundation Establishment Stage, his backing was strong.
He realized he was blinded by anger.
Lu Guangyuan instantly calmed down, bending his body slightly. Not only did the murderous intent dissipate, but instead, a fawning smile appeared on his face: "Little... this young friend, I’m too anxious; Yang Fei is in Earth World, completely unharmed."
Yan Xihua observed Lu Guangyuan’s behavior, chuckling lightly as she clung to Sun Xingyu’s arm, the grandeur of her chest pressing against his arm and constantly changing shape with her laughter.
Lu Guangyuan secretly wiped away a cold sweat.
So close!
This pretty boy turned out to be Yan Xihua’s consort. He nearly killed him in vengeance earlier—recklessly like an old man eating arsenic.
"Is it true? Didn’t Jiang Yao mention that you had captured Yang Fei? You truly haven’t harmed him?" Sun Xingyu asked Lu Guangyuan, staring.
With Yan Xihua at his side backing him up, Sun Xingyu knew how to leverage his position, even against someone like Lu Guangyuan of Divinity Transformation Realm Level; he simply didn’t worry at the moment.
Lu Guangyuan shook his head: "I truly haven’t harmed him. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people from Lingxiao Sect and Flame Moon Sect. He’s indeed returned to Earth."
Sun Xingyu believed that he would not dare deceive him now.
He felt no need to inquire further from others; since he was here, he’d simply return to see for himself how Yang Fei was.
"Xihua, I’ll go back and check," Sun Xingyu said.
Yan Xihua replied, "I’ll accompany you."
Sun Xingyu shook his head: "Your realm is too high; you can’t pass." He gestured to the Transmission Channel: "There’s a strong Boundary Barrier Law here."
Though the experts from Flame Family had heard of this before, witnessing it firsthand required confirmation.
One Flame Family Tributor Master flashed, approaching the Teleportation Channel Entrance.
Even at a distance of a kilometer, the Transmission Channel suddenly released a terrifying pressure.
This pressure was so powerful it imposed a death threat on everyone present, targeting Late stage Peak of Divinity Transformation Realm Masters, with the potential to kill them.
The person quickly retreated, and the pressure within the Transmission Channel vanished; everything returned to calm.
Yet, the Flame Family’s hearts remained unsettled for a long time.
The one who tested it spoke hoarsely: "Such strong Boundary Barrier Law! The person who created this Transmission Channel must have a realm far superior to Unity Realm Stage."
Qiu Tianshu nodded, his expression filled with awe: "Indeed. Even today’s few Unity Realm Stage Masters proficient in Formation cannot create such a powerful Boundary Barrier Law. The one who left this Transmission Channel is at least a Crossing Tribulation Great Power, perhaps already succeeded and reached Immortal Realm."
Yan Xihua’s eyes sparkled: "In that case, this Earth Space, at least was left by an Ancient Immortal?"
Several Flame Family Tributors nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yixian was already familiar with the Transmission Channel, finding nothing unusual.
From the moment this Flame Family’s cultivation team appeared, he wondered about the situation on the Shang Qing Sect side.
At this point, hearing these Flame Family discussions, Xiao Yixian felt a sense of foreboding.
"Brother Qiu, with you as cultivators from the Central Star Domain loudly intervening in the Southern Domain, intending to meddle with Earth Space matters, seems like breaking the rules, right?" Xiao Yixian ultimately could not hold back and asked Qiu Tianshu.
Qiu Tianshu laughed upon hearing.
He had been waiting for Xiao Yixian to bring up this matter.
"Hahaha, Brother Xiao might not know; we came here with the consent of your Wangxian Sect’s Lu Qiushang. Of course, besides that, Shifang City Shen Family Head Shen Wanjing, and Shang Qing Sect Sect Master Tantai Chunqiu also have no objections."
Xiao Yixian’s expression changed drastically.
Lu Guangyuan and those suppressed from Lingxiao Sect and Flame Moon Sect were also surprised by Qiu Tianshu’s revelation.
"May I ask, Brother Qiu, what’s the situation over at Shang Qing Sect?" Xiao Yixian asked in a deep voice.
Just as Qiu Tianshu was about to speak, the scene’s Divinity Transformation Realm Masters suddenly felt a stirring, turning their heads.
Sharp sounds from the void came through, quickly revealing two figures—Li Shuya and Zhao Yunzhi.
Xiao Yixian and Lu Guangyuan were startled inwardly, scrutinizing the two.
Li Shuya’s aura seemed weak, clearly bearing significant injuries, whereas Zhao Yunzhi appeared better in condition, though somewhat fatigued.
Li Shuya coldly gazed at Xiao Yixian: "It’s disappointing for Brother Yi Xian; the Shang Qing Sect’s major situation is settled, and the rebels Wang Yuanxiao and Ran Weixian can’t hold their ground, they’ve fled."
Xiao Yixian’s heart tightened.
Lu Guangyuan’s expression changed drastically.
He had thought Shang Qing Sect succumbed to chaos, their grand situation gone, so he decisively turned to Wangxian Sect, but now Shang Qing Sect had stabilized the situation without collapse.
This was terrible news for his Lu Family!
Even though Shang Qing Sect lost top experts Wang Yuanxiao and Ran Weixian, it still retained its millennia-old foundation, with several Late stage Peak Divinity Transformation Realm Masters, including Tantai Chunqiu, nearly reaching Unity.
Such an intact Shang Qing Sect wouldn’t easily retaliate against Wangxian Sect, but if they focused on Lu Family, it spelled ruin.
Wangxian Sect might not choose to fight Shang Qing Sect to the death to protect a newly aligned family.
After all, the Southern Domain not only involves Wangxian Sect and Shang Qing Sect; if Wangxian Sect falls into a deadlock with Shang Qing Sect, Shifang City Shen Family would emerge as the ultimate victor.
Xiao Yixian looked at Yan Xihua: "Master Yan, did your Flame Family intervene in this matter?"
Yan Xihua laughed charmingly: "Hehe, our Flame Family indeed wanted to meddle, but before we could formally declare our stance, internal issues arose within Shang Qing Sect; supporters of Wang Yuanxiao, Cao Zhengyang and Xiao Shuhui suddenly rebelled, releasing other Shang Qing Sect disciples suppressed by Wang Yuanxiao’s side. Thus, Wang Yuanxiao and Ran Weixian fled, marking the end of Shang Qing Sect’s rebellion."
Xiao Yixian’s eyes flashed as he stared at Yan Xihua: "If it were just that, why wouldn’t Wangxian Sect hesitate to save their allies? Surely you Flame Family sided with Tantai Chunqiu, right?"
Yan Xihua chuckled: "You’re somewhat correct. After all, for us Flame Family, Shang Qing Sect surviving is better than it being crippled by you Wangxian Sect now."
Xiao Yixian understood Flame Family’s intentions, snorted, and spoke to Lu Guangyuan: "Let’s go."
Lu Guangyuan wanted to leave immediately, nodded repeatedly upon hearing, and followed Xiao Yixian away.
The Flame Family’s experts didn’t hinder them.
Though Li Shuya and Zhao Yunzhi harbored deep hatred for Wangxian Sect, they knew they couldn’t stop them alone, forcing them to concede.
