Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1682: Chapter 1679: Dangerous Ideas

"Damn, these beasts are really cunning, they actually know this is a trap."

Yang Fei watched the fleeing Taowu and single-horned Thunder Rhinoceros Beast, the two Demon Beast Kings, with a regretful expression.

Qin Yanyang and the others nodded in agreement.

During these days, they attempted to defeat them one by one, finally luring the single-horned Thunder Rhinoceros Beast and Taowu into the coverage area of the Four Spirits Blood Array.

They thought that by pretending to be defeated, they could lure these two demon beasts into relentlessly chasing them. However, these two Demon Beast Kings were unexpectedly vigilant. After chasing for several miles, the Taowu Demon Beast King warned the single-horned Thunder Rhinoceros Beast, and they both abandoned the pursuit of the feigned defeated Yang Fei, decisively retreating. They soon escaped the coverage area of the Four Spirits Blood Array.

Qingqiu, with a somewhat helpless expression on his handsome face, sighed, "They have grown too quickly. After becoming Demon Kings, their improvement is not just in combat power, but their spiritual wisdom has also developed tremendously, long surpassing the limitations of mere beasts."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qingqiu glanced at Yang Fei and continued, "Master, if you want to suppress them, your power must increase by at least one more realm, or you can use that Bronze Furnace. This artifact has a very strong suppressing effect on us demon beasts. If you activate this magic treasure with full power, there’s a chance to suppress the Taowu and single-horned Thunder Rhinoceros Beast, these two Great Demon Kings, one by one."

Yang Fei shook his head and said, "Though I have reached the peak of Late Stage Core Formation, crossing into the Nascent Soul Realm is not so easy. As for using the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace to suppress them—it’s very difficult unless they venture deep into the belly of the Four Spirits Blood Array."

Qingqiu silently sighed in his heart.

He remembered that he too was once suppressed by Yang Fei, using the formation’s power combined with the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace and the Soul Binding Rope among other powerful magic treasures, because he had ventured deep into the belly of the Four Spirits Blood Array.

Just now, they also planned to lure Taowu and the single-horned Thunder Rhinoceros Beast into the Four Spirits Blood Array, but before they went in deeply, these two Demon Beast Kings became alert and decisively retreated.

"Forget it, let’s leave it at this for now. We’ve at least had some gains from our actions during this period. The Spirit Devouring Beast and Earth Spirit Rat and other weaker tribes have chosen to cooperate with us. Other weaker demon beast tribes have also witnessed our overall power increase due to our recent actions and have begun to lead their tribes to retreat dozens of miles to select new habitats," Yang Fei summarized the achievements of the past month.

Everyone nodded.

Even though they didn’t solve the demon beast crisis as completely as intended initially, the fights convinced the weaker demon beast tribes of the threat and they dared not easily approach Peak White Jade City.

As for the more powerful demon beast tribes like the single-horned Thunder Rhinoceros Beast and Taowu Clan, they dared not rashly enter the formation’s coverage area due to the presence of the Four Spirits Blood Array.

"Master, I will continue to persuade other tribes, even if they cannot be made to submit to humans, at least I can teach them to coexist peacefully with us," Qingqiu said.

Yang Fei nodded and said, "That’s just right. Your contribution this time is not small either. From the Spirit Stones mined by the Earth Spirit Rat and Spirit Devouring Beast tribes recently, you can take one-tenth as a reward for your Qingqiu Clan. This will also show the other demon beast groups that there are only benefits and no harms in aligning with us or cooperating with humans."

Hearing this, Qingqiu was extremely happy and hurriedly expressed gratitude.

Although the Earth Spirit Rat and Spirit Devouring Beast had not been allied for long, their mining efficiency for Spirit Ores was very high. Even in just over twenty days, the quantity of Spirit Ore they mined was quite substantial.

One has to know, White Jade City is a treasure mountain rich in mineral deposits, and the Spirit Stones mined from there are of very high quality.

For their demon beasts, aside from devouring human cultivators or consuming Spiritual Medicine and Exotic Fruits that grow in nature, Spiritual Energy is the most crucial resource for their growth.

And indeed, Spirit Stones are the essence nurtured by nature’s spiritual energy. Demon beasts either directly ingest them to gradually absorb their internal Spiritual Power or pile them around, absorbing the denser spiritual energy they emit to accelerate their growth.

Having followed Yang Fei for not long and receiving so many rewards, Qingqiu naturally felt delighted and, after expressing his gratitude, pledged his and the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan’s loyalty repeatedly.

Inside the Soul Suppressing World of the Soul Binding Rope.

Lu Jianxing’s Divine Soul and weakened Nascent Soul Body, suppressed here, endured the terrifying eroding power of the Soul Suppressing World every day, growing weaker.

He did not know how long he had been suppressed, only feeling that if things continued like this, his Divine Soul or Nascent Soul would suffer irreversible damage, and even if Yang Fei released him in the future, his cultivation path would be at an end.

First came terror, then boundless anger.

After an indeterminate time, Lu Jianxing’s anger was replaced by endless fear.

He felt his Divine Soul and Nascent Soul growing increasingly weak, about to completely collapse and disappear.

If this happened, he would truly be dead in both body and soul.

As an Immortal Cultivator, he was truly unwilling to die like this.

"Little thief... no, Yang... Taoist Yang, quickly release me, I don’t want to die here. If I die, my ancestor will seek revenge upon you once he finds out my Life Soul Lamp is extinguished. How will you face that then?"

Lu Jianxing shouted frantically.

Though he knew it was useless, since he had already clamored many times with no response from Yang Fei and no sign of release, he still clung to a sliver of hope.

What if?

Yang Fei was always aware of Lu Jianxing’s clamor.

To safeguard the residual soul of Li Xuanyu, he kept a divine sense in the Soul Suppressing Space of the Soul Binding Rope, sensing everything clearly inside.

But after returning to Earth, Yang Fei focused on resolving the demon beast threat. For over a month of continuous fighting, he ignored Lu Jianxing.

The reason he did not directly destroy Lu Jianxing’s Divine Soul and Nascent Soul Body was out of caution.

If Lu Jianxing died and his Life Soul Lamp extinguished, Lu Guangyuan would know.

Though Yang Fei was safe on Earth and Lu Guangyuan, despite harboring a deep grudge, could not attack him, Yang Fei never gave up the thought of wanting to return to the Southern Domain again.

With Lu Jianxing’s soul in hand, if he were tracked by Lu Guangyuan upon returning to the Southern Domain, he could still bargain. If Lu Jianxing died and Yang Fei fell into this person’s hands, there would truly be no escape.

After several more days, Yang Fei was unable to calm his mind.

"Why hasn’t any message come yet? Jiang Yao should have delivered the message to my master long ago. Knowing my situation, they would surely send aid. How come there’s still no news?" Yang Fei muttered to himself.

Qin Yanyang noticed his uneasiness and comforted him, "The journey is long, there might be delays."

Yang Fei said heavily, "Or perhaps the situation at the Shang Qing Sect has reached a critical point. I have to try it."

Qin Yanyang’s expression tightened.

What Yang Fei referred to as "having to try it" was about attempting to teleport to the Southern Domain using the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl.

During this time, Yang Fei had mentioned several times that he wanted to try it, directly targeting the location of the Shang Qing Sect using the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl.

Indeed, there was this possibility, but if he failed, and the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl only transported him near the transmission channel from the Southern Domain to Earth, that would be extremely dangerous.
