Chapter 1571: Chapter 1568: Let Fate Decide
"Such gall! You actually dared kill a disciple of Zhou Wanqing!"
Zhou Wanqing let out a low growl, his voice hoarse like a night owl.
He suddenly waved his hand, and an Ancient Mirror floated before him. The mirror’s surface rippled, and like a surveillance screen it showed the last blurry scene transmitted back before Gongyang Shan’s death, as well as the instant when the "Soul Erosion Guide" Magic Artifact was sensed being taken by the two women Qin and Tong.
A vast, towering baleful aura erupted from his body, making the entire palace hum and the flames on the walls flicker violently.
"No matter who you are, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, this old man will drag you out, extract your souls and refine your spirits, to offer as a sacrifice to my disciple’s spirit in heaven!"
Among the Evil Cultivators of the Southern Domain, Zhou Wanqing was infamous for being viciously vengeful and extremely protective of his own.
Though his own Cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, he was exceptionally adept in all kinds of bizarre Secret Techniques of Concealment, Escape, and Tracking, and had several times escaped with his life when besieged by teams of Righteous experts. His troublesome nature made many Righteous Cultivators whose cultivation surpassed his feel a headache and unwilling to provoke him lightly.
Gongyang Shan was one of the disciples he set great store by, and once this man grew up, he would be of immense benefit to Zhou Wanqing’s future Cultivation. Now that someone had killed him, this was not only a provocation to his prestige, but had also ruined his plans.
He immediately operated a Secret Technique and used that "Soul Erosion Guide" Magic Artifact to sense.
A moment later, the corner of his mouth hooked into a cruel, cold smile. "Hmph, the sense is weak, but the direction is clear... to the south, and not exactly nearby. But you think you can run after killing a disciple of Zhou Wanqing? Heh, it seems I haven’t killed anyone for decades; those people are about to forget this old man’s fearsome name."
...
Shangqing Sect’s Tianshan Peak.
Time flew by; Yang Fei and Helian Rong’s son Yang Cheng was already one year old.
The little fellow had a tigerish head and sturdy features, brimming with spirituality. Though only one year old, he could already babble and toddle all over the place; compared to mundane children, his physical constitution was several times stronger.
On this day, Yang Fei was holding his son, who had fallen soundly asleep after playing, and a trace of reluctance flashed through his gentle, kindly eyes.
Helian Rong walked over, glanced at Yang Fei, and reached out to take their son. Seeing that the child seemed about to awaken in fright, she quickly rocked her body gently to soothe him, her gaze soft as she looked at her son, and said, "Cheng’er is already a year old. With my father, your two Masters, and all the senior and junior brothers and sisters in this valley taking care of him, it’s enough. I’ll accompany you to look for them."
Yang Fei started slightly and looked up at Helian Rong.
Helian Rong still had her head lowered, gazing at their son, her face full of tender motherly love.
Yang Fei was moved, but he shook his head. "No. The road ahead is unknown this time, the dangers beyond prediction. Cheng’er is still young; he cannot be left without his father’s protection and then separated from his mother’s embrace for a long time. You should stay on Tian Nan Peak and take good care of Cheng’er; that is the greatest support you can give me. Besides, your Cultivation still needs to be stabilized. If you follow by my side, I’ll instead have to split my attention to look after you."
Helian Rong knew Yang Fei’s words were reasonable; following him would indeed likely become a burden, and their son needed his mother’s company even more.
She raised her head and glanced at Yang Fei, but in the end could not suppress the reluctance in her heart. She walked over and pressed her face to Yang Fei’s chest, saying softly, "Then you must be careful in everything and come back safely. Don’t forget you’re already a father now. Besides me, there’s a son at home waiting for you."
Yang Fei nodded heavily and promised, "Rest assured, I will definitely find them, and I’ll come back safely to see you both."
This time, Yang Fei had resolved not to return until he had found Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, so he had to settle everything at home. He did not conceal this and told Helian Zhan and Ouyang He the truth as well.
Helian Zhan and Ouyang He also knew that Yang Fei would certainly go to search for Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu. Since Helian Rong also understood and supported this, the two of them said no more, only telling Yang Fei to be careful. With them at home, and being on Shangqing Sect’s Tianshan Peak besides, there would be no problems.
Afterwards, Yang Fei went to find Wan Daorong and told him everything.
Wan Daorong’s expression was grave. "Fei’er, do you know the current situation in the outside world? Because of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, Wangxian Sect has already dispatched a large number of experts down the mountain, searching high and low for your tracks. According to reliable information, that Half Step Dao Unity old ancestor who has been in seclusion for many years may very well personally make a move over this matter! For you to leave the Sect’s protection at this time is no different from a lamb entering a tiger’s den! As for searching for the two young ladies Qin and Tong, your Master has long since secretly activated the Sect’s network of connections to keep an eye out in the Southern Border. Why must you be in such a hurry to risk yourself?"
Yang Fei’s expression was firm as he gave Wan Daorong a deep bow. "Master’s care, this disciple is grateful to the core. But what happened to Yanyang and Yun Shu is a knot in this disciple’s heart. As long as I have no definite news of them, I cannot feel at ease for a single day. If I cannot personally make up for this debt, my Dao Heart will be ill at ease, which will also hinder my Cultivation. Though Wangxian Sect is strong, the world is vast; if this disciple carefully Conceals his tracks, they may not necessarily find me. Besides, the path of Cultivation is a journey against the current; if one only dodges calamities and avoids misfortune, how can one temper an indomitable will and the ability to deal with crises? This disciple hopes Master will grant his wish."
Wan Daorong looked extremely troubled.
He truly treated Yang Fei as a successor to be nurtured. Even the Sect Leader senior brother held Yang Fei in very high regard, not to mention that Yang Fei carried the secret of Earth as an entire planet and the Genetic Liquid Medicine. How could he be at ease letting him leave?
But he could also understand Yang Fei’s determination to search for Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu.
After pondering briefly, he said, "Wait here for your Master a moment."
With that, though he remained standing there without moving, he sent out a Primordial Spirit Avatar to the main peak to see his Sect Leader senior brother Zhantai Chunqiu.
After hearing Wan Daorong’s report, Zhantai Chunqiu said, "Junior Brother Wan, what Yang Fei said is not without reason. We, who walk the path of Cultivation, are contending with heaven for our lives, with tribulations at every turn. True experts are all forged in the baptism of blood and fire. Flowers of the greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain. If Shang Qing Sect wishes to truly rise in the future, what it needs is precisely a leading figure who can endure hardship and hack his way through thorns. Since Yang Fei has such resolve, rather than forcibly stopping him, we might as well support him and trust that he has his own measure and fortune."
Wan Daorong grew anxious. "But this brat’s identity is special. He... he’s currently being targeted by Wangxian Sect. Once he leaves Shang Qing Sect, I fear Wangxian Sect will soon have their eyes on him. Wouldn’t that be too dangerous then?"
Zhantai Chunqiu said, "Can you keep him on Tian Nan Peak for his entire life?"
Wan Daorong said, "At least we can wait until he’s stronger."
"And what counts as strong? Do you expect him to surpass our Cultivation in a short time? At his age, he is already outstanding among his peers. Moreover, he carries several Immortal Treasures and has deep fortune. I don’t take him to be someone with a short life. For his growth, he must experience true life-and-death tempering." Zhantai Chunqiu gave Wan Daorong a glance and continued, "As for Wangxian Sect... humph, if they dare lay hands directly on a disciple of Shang Qing Sect, we Divinity Transformation cultivators of Shang Qing Sect are not meek and mild either. They don’t dare lightly shatter the balance of the Southern Domain Cultivation World. Set your mind at ease."
Wan Daorong opened his mouth, but in the end only sighed silently. "Since Senior Brother has already decided, this Junior Brother will follow your lead. Besides, that little disciple of mine is stubborn by nature. If I don’t agree, he’ll slip away quietly anyway. I can’t lock him by my side for life."
Zhantai Chunqiu nodded with a smile. "The young have their own world. Don’t hold on too tight."
"Forget it, forget it, leave it to fate." Wan Daorong sighed, and his Primordial Spirit Avatar flashed and disappeared.
