Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1562: Chapter 1559: Disappointment

Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s description, Yang Fei was overjoyed. He was eager to find Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, and his heart instinctively leaned towards optimism. The cold-eyed woman’s style, mentioned by Lu Xuan, was very similar to Qin Yanyang’s, making him believe he had found the right person.

"Where did they go?" Yang Fei asked, a hint of urgency in his voice.

Lu Xuan recalled, "That day, I was stunned by that woman’s glare and dared not continue tailing them. I only saw them heading towards the eastern direction of the city. I recorded this matter at the time for future verification."

Yang Fei felt inwardly anxious upon hearing this.

He turned to look at Mo Xin, who pondered briefly before saying, "Don’t worry, Young Master Shen, I will inquire right away."

He took out a communication jade talisman from his bosom and infused it with mana, whispering a few words.

"Please wait, Young Master Shen. I’ve already contacted the junior brothers at the East Suburb branch and asked them to verify the situation that occurred a month ago," Mo Xin said.

At this moment, Yang Fei had no leads and could only pin his hopes on the Shadow Sect, nodding in agreement.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the jade talisman in Mo Xin’s hand flickered.

He focused on reading the communication content, his face showing joy, "We found them! The brothers at the East Suburb branch do remember those two women. They stayed at an inn in the East Suburb for a night and left the next day. However, their departure was likely in the direction of an estate owned by the Lu Family in the eastern suburbs."

"The Lu Family?" Yang Fei frowned slightly.

The Lu Family in Qinghe County was a powerful cultivation family, comparable to the Mu Family. During his years staying at the Shang Qing Sect, Yang Fei had gained some understanding of the major cultivation forces around the Southern Domain.

Mo Xin nodded, "Yes, the Lu Family of Qinghe County is a well-known family in the area. They have an ancestor in the Divinity Transformation Realm, making their strength much greater than our Shadow Sect’s. The estate is one of their villas, expansive in land, and ordinary cultivators dare not approach it. Our disciples only dared to observe from afar and confirmed that the two women indeed headed towards the estate, but did not see them enter the Lu Family mansion."

Yang Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Take me to see it."

Mo Xin looked troubled, "Young Master Shen, it’s not that I’m shirking responsibility, but the Lu Family’s power is formidable. Although our Shadow Sect has some reputation in the Southern Domain, we dare not offend them. Besides, our sect only deals in information trade, and we rely on the favor of such noble families to survive in Qinghe County. Hence, we can’t directly get involved in such matters."

Yang Fei understood his concerns and nodded, "Please lead the way, Mr. Mo. You only need to show me the direction, and I will handle the rest."

Mo Xin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led Yang Fei out of the tavern.

In a bustling city like Qinghe County’s city, flying at high altitudes was prohibited. Mo Xin led Yang Fei to walk in a northwestern direction, quickly arriving at the west gate.

Yang Fei looked up at the towering city walls, over a hundred meters high, feeling secretly astonished and envious.

He knew that these walls were built specifically to fend off demon beast invasions.

In a city like this, with a large population including many secular people living and thriving, beasts from the cultivation world roamed freely, and most of these beasts preyed on cultivators. If there weren’t tall defensive structures, straggling beasts wouldn’t be much of a concern, but in the event of a beast tide, the destruction would be catastrophic.

But with such high walls, during a beast tide assault, cultivators could form defense alliances and choose the battlefield outside the walls, preventing the innocent weak from dying tragically.

Once outside, Mo Xin mounted a flying sword and said, "Once we’re out of the city, we can use sword flight. Please follow me, Young Master Shen, as we make our way around to the East Suburb."

Yang Fei said, "Let’s use my Spirit Boat."

He summoned the Spirit Boat and jumped on first. Mo Xin smiled slightly and also jumped aboard.

Following Mo Xin’s guidance, Yang Fei steered the Spirit Boat, flying for half an hour before fully bypassing the flight-restricted area of Qinghe County’s city, arriving at the East Suburb area.

Standing on the Spirit Ship, Mo Xin pointed towards a villa built against a mountain in the distance, "Young Master Shen, that is the Lu Family’s villa. According to my senior brother, those two women were last seen here."

Yang Fei gazed into the distance and saw the villa occupying hundreds of acres, with pavilions and towers faintly visible, but on closer inspection, the scenery was hazy. The shadows of people inside were barely visible, with the halo of formations faintly circulating.

"Thank you." Yang Fei said to Mo Xin and tossed him seven top-grade spirit stones, "I’m grateful for your help."

Seeing Yang Fei’s generosity, Mo Xin was overjoyed. He thought for a moment and reminded, "Young Master Shen, it’s said this estate belongs to Master Lu Qi of the Lu Family. Although you are from the Shen Family of Shifang City, if you plan to look for people here, I’d advise visiting openly as a member of the Shen Family to avoid misunderstandings or conflicts with Master Lu Qi."

Yang Fei smiled, "Don’t worry, Mr. Mo. I’m only here to find people, not to make trouble."

"Haha, I spoke too much. I wish Young Master Shen finds his beloved. Farewell," Mo Xin cupped his fists in a salute and flew back on his sword.

After he left, Yang Fei pondered slightly and arrived at the perimeter of the Lu Family estate. His purpose was to find Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu. Although he didn’t know why they were here, since they had left him without a word, they might intentionally hide if he revealed his intentions.

After some thought, he deemed it best to sneak in and investigate quietly.

He had some knowledge of formations. Based on his observations, the formations covering the periphery of the estate primarily served to prevent outsiders from prying, rather than being particularly powerful restriction arrays.

Finding a weak spot in the formation, Yang Fei approached silently using Earth Escape, patiently waited until night fell, and then combined instant teleportation with Earth Escape Technique to quietly bypass the formation.

He then hid and observed for a while, finding he hadn’t triggered any alerts, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling secretly delighted.

It seemed that instant teleportation, which directly crossed spatial barriers, was indeed highly effective against formations that weren’t particularly robust.

He couldn’t help but wonder if it would work against stronger formations set by powerful figures.

Suppressing these thoughts, he used Concealing Breath Technique, Earth Escape, Water Escape, and Wind Escape along with Blinding Spells to move through the estate silently, searching.

The estate was large and housed many people, but most were Qi Refinement cultivators. Occasionally, there were a few at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but given Yang Fei’s current cultivation and his careful concealment, these people couldn’t possibly notice him.

After searching for about half an hour, he sensed the presence of two female cultivators in a secluded courtyard deep within the estate.

These two had relatively high realms, both at the Core Formation Stage.

This matched Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu’s situation more closely, and Yang Fei, delighted, quietly approached them to meet.

However, when he extended his divine sense to probe, he saw the two women in the courtyard sipping tea and talking.

He saw that one had a cool demeanor and wore a plain white dress, while the other wore a tan-yellow skirt, looking gentle and lovely. Both were exceptionally beautiful, but they were not Qin Yanyang or Tong Yunshu.

"It’s not them." Yang Fei felt deeply disappointed.

Though these two were great beauties, and both with Core Formation level cultivation, with outstanding demeanors, he was preoccupied with thoughts of finding Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang, having no interest in becoming entangled with these beauties.

Just as he was about to retreat silently, he suddenly heard the woman in the tan-yellow skirt say something that made him freeze in his tracks.
