Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1566: Chapter 1563: Backstab

Earth, at the White Jade City residence.

"That was close..."

Yang Fei took a deep breath, his heart still pounding with fear.

Earlier, Lu Jianxing’s Divine Sense had completely locked onto him; the pressure, as deep and vast as an abyss, nearly suffocated him.

Fortunately, he had previously fought with Cang Yuan and Zhong Yilai, two Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses, and gained experience. He understood well that he could not contend with such powerful figures for now and was always ready to use the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to flash back to Earth if necessary.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul... truly terrifying."

Yang Fei sat cross-legged, forming a seal with his hands. His Spiritual Power began to flow slowly within him, calming his agitated blood and energy.

Once fully recovered, he began to calmly contemplate the current situation.

The two female disciples of the Wangxian Sect were not only extraordinarily powerful but were clearly Second Generation Immortals from the sect, similar to Wang Pengfei, with strong backgrounds he couldn’t afford to provoke now.

Lu Jianxing, on the other hand, was from the Lu Family in Qinghe County, with a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivation, whom he also couldn’t match.

If it were his former self, he would seek immediate revenge, hating to let the night pass without retaliating against those who had marked him.

But now, his strength did not permit it.

Damn, back on Earth in the mortal world, he was pretty much the pinnacle of combat power and could settle grudges on the spot. Yet now, in the Cultivation World, he found himself as merely a small fry, having to endure such situations.

Sigh, better to bide his time for now.

The mortal world has a saying: "A gentleman’s revenge is never too late," and now as a cultivator with long lifespan and high talent, along with strong backing, he just needed to endure patiently. His potential for growth was still immense, and by then, eliminating these few would be just a piece of cake.

Moreover, he had more important things to attend to at the moment.

In his mind, the gentle face of Helian Rong appeared, along with the thought of the small life she was about to bring into the world.

There was only one month left until Helian Rong gave birth; he had to return early. There was no way he could not be by her side when she delivered.

Before that, however, he needed to search around Qinghe County to make sure; although Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu were both at the Core Formation Cultivation level, with strong individuals everywhere in the Cultivation World, he himself, even with several Heaven-defying Treasures, was struggling in this world, constantly facing danger. How much more so would it be for them?

In the Southern Domain, Qinghe County, where Yang Fei had disappeared, his figure reappeared.

Extending his Divine Sense, he carefully perceived the surrounding activity; within a hundred-mile radius, there was no anomaly, proving that Lu Jianxing indeed wasn’t lying in wait.

Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, using the Disguise Technique to transform himself into a middle-aged cultivator of ordinary appearance and Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation. He also deliberately concealed his aura, masquerading as an ordinary loose cultivator.

In the following twenty-odd days, he persistently searched around the vicinity of Qinghe County, trying to trace the whereabouts of the two women.

To err on the side of caution, he didn’t go to Mo Xin or the Shadow Sect to gather intelligence, considering that Lu Jianxing was a power in the local Lu Family, and the Shadow Sect was afraid to anger the Lu Family. If Lu Jianxing leveraged the Shadow Sect’s intelligence network to track him, going there to gather information would be like jumping into the net himself.

Therefore, he could only use the dumbest method, quietly searching around Qinghe County on his own.

For twenty-seven days, he visited every small town around Qinghe County, even daring to explore Lu Family territories, yet found nothing.

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Logic told him that searching blindly like this was unlikely to yield results, but his guilt toward the two women made it hard for him to let go.

Yet Helian Rong’s due date was drawing ever nearer.

"Forget it... For now, return to the sect, and after the child is born, then find a way to search for them."

Yang Fei sighed secretly, though feeling uneasy, he could only return to Shangqing Sect’s Tian Nan Peak.

Helian Rong was about to be a mother for the first time, and he was about to become a father for the first time. Compared to the futile search for the whereabouts of Qin and Tong, staying by Helian Rong’s side during childbirth seemed a more reasonable course of action.

Meanwhile, while Yang Fei was secretly searching around Qinghe County for Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu’s whereabouts, a backstabbing plan against an "ally" was quietly unfolding.

Inside Lu Jianxing’s villa backyard, Lu Jianxing sat opposite Jiang Xinyun and Su Jingshu from the Wangxian Sect. In the center of the secret chamber, a golden light mass hovered in midair—it was the only remaining state of True Monarch Cang Yuan’s Nascent Soul.

Two years ago, after Yang Fei used a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman to destroy his body, True Monarch Cang Yuan was left with only his Nascent Soul in a lingering existence.

To rebuild his body, he sought Spiritual Medicine and Exotic Treasures everywhere. It was precisely for this reason, coupled with his deep-seated hatred toward Yang Fei, that he desired to use Lu Jianxing and the Wangxian Sect’s two women to kill Yang Fei, choosing to betray information and cooperate with the three.

"Mr. Lu, have you gathered information about that boy’s whereabouts, and are you ready to make a move?" came True Monarch Cang Yuan’s eager voice from the golden light.

"No need to rush, Fellow Daoist Cang Yuan," Lu Jianxing replied with a gentle smile. "With the two immortals from the Wangxian Sect taking action, that boy’s whereabouts are entirely under control. With a little strategy, we can lure him out from Tian Nan Peak."

Jiang Xinyun said, "We have already prepared a comprehensive plan. There should be no problem in killing him. However, since Fellow Daoist Cang Yuan has a deep-seated grudge against him, it would be most satisfying for you to execute the revenge yourself."

"Good!"

True Monarch Cang Yuan was overjoyed. Now reduced to just a Nascent Soul, he possessed nothing that Lu Jianxing or the two women from the Wangxian Sect coveted. Besides, he and Lu Jianxing had known each other for years, surviving dangerous situations together. The Wangxian Sect was also in fierce contention with the Shang Qing Sect, leaving him little reason to be wary of the three.

But just then, a dazzling golden light exploded.

A terrifying force, harmful to Nascent Soul Divine Souls, shot upward, enveloping the entire secret chamber and covering the Nascent Soul body of True Monarch Cang Yuan.

"The Nascent Soul Hunting Array!"

True Monarch Cang Yuan was filled with shock and anger, wanting to escape, but his Nascent Soul was already weakened. Caught off guard, he was trapped by an array specifically meant to suppress Nascent Soul cultivators, leaving no possibility of escape.

"Mr. Lu... what is the meaning of this?" True Monarch Cang Yuan struggled to stay calm, looking incredulously toward Lu Jianxing.

"My apologies, Brother Cang Yuan. I, Lu, have no choice; I’m forced to wrong you this year," Lu Jianxing said, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and he sighed, "Our plan was overheard by a mysterious individual, who escaped despite my pursuit. If our plot to kill the progeny of our rival gets out, the consequences are severe—not just for me, but even the immortals from the Wangxian Sect can’t shoulder the blame. To eliminate any future trouble, we can only wrong Fellow Daoist Cang Yuan."

"You people..." True Monarch Cang Yuan’s heart was filled with grief and indignation. "I’ve risked my life to help you, and this is how you repay me, killing me to silence me?"

"In the Cultivation World, it’s survival of the fittest. What place has sentiments?" Jiang Xinyun sneered coldly. "Brother Lu, let’s finish it quickly to end this future trouble."

Lu Jianxing sighed, using his telekinesis to activate the Nascent Soul Hunting Array’s killing force, quickly condensing it.

True Monarch Cang Yuan’s Nascent Soul was frantically shredded by the terrifying power until it was ultimately reduced to countless golden light points, completely dissipating into the world.

A strong Early Stage Nascent Soul practitioner thus fell at the hands of the "close friends" he had trusted for years.
