Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1483 - 1480: Polite Refusal

A voice came from ahead, resonating like a grand bell, deep and powerful.

Yang Fei squinted towards the void ahead, releasing his Divine Sense to lock onto a location.

What made him wary was that he seemed to have pinpointed the other’s exact location, yet couldn’t see their figure.

Invisibility Technique?

Just as he was wondering, his heart suddenly pounded wildly as a strong aura emerged from behind.

Ever since he met Li Xuanyu, Yang Fei’s Divine Sense had always been split in two, with one part staying in the Soul Suppressing Space of the Soul Binding Rope to ensure that Li Xuanyu’s strand of remnant soul did not dissipate. Now, being surrounded by two cultivators of the same realm, his existing Divine Sense split again, warily locking onto two targets.

Besides, he further released his Divine Thought to scan the surroundings, only slightly relaxing when he confirmed there was no third person. He spoke, "Why do you two Taoists stop me?"

"Hehe, there’s no need for alarm, fellow Daoist. I am Han Dachun, hailing from the Han family of Zhongzhou, and this is my friend, Muyun, visiting Baiyun Sect."

The voice from before came from the void ahead, and as the words fell, the person suddenly appeared in the void, suspending a hundred meters away from Yang Fei.

Yang Fei’s gaze landed on this person, becoming even more vigilant at heart, saying, "So it’s Taoist Han and Taoist Muyun. May I ask what you seek from me?"

Behind Yang Fei, the cultivator named Muyun also appeared.

Yang Fei had just examined the two, and unless they had deliberately concealed their realms and cultivation, they were both in the middle stage of Core Formation.

At the very least, the two did not use the Concealing Breath Technique to suppress their Spiritual Power.

Of course, it’s not ruled out that they’d cultivated some special Secret Techniques to suppress their cultivation, making them seem lower than their actual realms, but maintaining this long-term would be mentally taxing.

Another possibility is that the two carry Special Treasures that aid in hiding their mana and aura.

However, Yang Fei thought the two shouldn’t be hiding their cultivation. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to form an encirclement before and after.

Han Dachun looked a bit short and stout, at least in the Cultivation World where many ways exist to alter one’s appearance and height, his appearance seemed somewhat plain.

However, his face always held a smiling expression, giving a kind and approachable vibe.

He looked at Yang Fei with a smile, saying, "May I ask your name and where you hail from, Daoist?"

Yang Fei worried that his real name might leak to people from the Lingxiao Sect, Flame Moon Sect, and other sections of the Six Great Cultivation Forces in the Southern area, so he said, "I am Yang Hao, without any sect, merely a Loose Cultivator."

Han Dachun and Muyun searched their memories but truly hadn’t heard of this name, causing them to frown slightly.

"You’re not from Central State, Daoist Yang?" Han Dachun asked.

Yang Fei shook his head, "I come from the Nan County Continent."

The region where the Six Great Cultivation Forces, including the Lingxiao Sect, reside is the Nan County Continent.

Han Dachun and Muyun exchanged a glance, nodding silently.

"So Daoist Yang isn’t from Central State, but that doesn’t matter. Taoist Yang, we stopped you because we wanted to discuss something," Han Dachun said.

Yang Fei saw him pause and followed, asking, "Oh? What might that be?"

"Taoist Muyun and I travel together for an important matter. However, after inquiring in Shifang City, we found the task might be tricky. Meanwhile, both Taoist Muyun and I fear lacking manpower, needing someone to help. I wonder if Daoist Yang is free to assist. Rest assured, the reward for your efforts won’t be lacking," Han Dachun said amiably.

Yang Fei was taken aback.

He thought the two stopped him intending to kill and seize treasures, as murder for resources is too common in the Cultivation World.

But to his surprise, they sought his help.

Yang Fei knew such situations were also common in the Cultivation World.

Many disciples from sects or aristocratic families, when out on trials, would request help to complete tasks when their strength was insufficient or to ensure foolproof execution, which wasn’t unusual.

Yang Fei clasped his hands towards Han Dachun, "I apologize, I have an urgent matter to attend to and cannot assist."

Upon hearing this, Han Dachun’s amiable smile didn’t falter, although a tinge of disappointment passed through his eyes.

Yang Fei didn’t wish to entangle with them too much, saying, "Taoist Han, may I proceed?"

Han Dachun sighed, "Alas, it seems we weren’t fated, Daoist Yang. Please, go on your way; until we meet again!" Saying this, he clasped his hands toward Yang Fei.

Seeing how agreeable the man was, Yang Fei relaxed a bit, then turned to bid farewell to the person named Muyun, maneuvering the Spirit Boat away.

Han Dachun moved aside slightly, while Muyun didn’t move, just watching Yang Fei depart.

"Brother Han, finding a suitable candidate seems tough. Though the situation is dire, we’ve already delayed here quite a bit. Any more delay, and Fairy Qingyang may grow impatient." Muyun said gravely.

Han Dachun looked anxious, pondering before gritting his teeth, "Alright, since no helper can be found, we’ll try ourselves; otherwise, Qingyang really can’t wait."

Having settled the plan, they hurried off in the direction Yang Fei had gone.

Thirty miles out, Yang Fei, staying vigilant along the way and ensuring no one followed him, finally relaxed entirely.

The journey to Xifeng Valley was long, requiring half a month’s travel without rest. Besides, according to information from Shen Wanjing, Sun Xingyu was in no immediate danger, mainly serving as a plaything, so Yang Fei wasn’t particularly rushed.

After six days on the road, though he had plenty of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicine to replenish his Spiritual Power, the consumption of maneuvering the Spirit Boat was too great, leaving Yang Fei a bit weary.

Additionally, before reaching Xifeng Valley, he needed to study the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl carefully, seeing if it could help him vanish with someone, ensuring a successful rescue of Sun Xingyu.

Seeing a towering solitary peak ahead, Yang Fei approached with the Spirit Boat, using Divine Sense in advance to check for others. Finding none, he landed.

Finding a lush tree, Yang Fei jumped up, hiding within. Once seated, he willed his Telekinesis, and the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl appeared before him.

The next instant, he and the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl vanished from this void.

Simultaneously, on Earth in White Jade City, Yang Fei returned to his wooden cabin.

He sought Qin Yanyang to test whether he could take her through the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to the Southern Domain World.
