Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1686: Chapter 1683: We Cannot Sit and Wait for Death

"Mom, why do we have to stay here all the time? It’s not fun at all. I want to go out."

Inside the cold cave, a young boy of about four or five years old complained.

There were only two people in the cave, a stunningly beautiful woman and a young boy. The boy had a robust and charming look, but at that moment, his face was full of impatience, with his mouth pouting in a tantrum.

The beautiful woman coaxed, "Chengcheng, be good. Don’t throw a tantrum. What did Mommy teach you? A man needs to learn to be patient, to stay calm in the face of anything. You must diligently study the cultivation technique your father passed on to you and become an even more formidable cultivator than your father in the future."

The mother and son were Helian Rong and Yang Cheng.

With his big eyes, Yang Cheng stared at Helian Rong and asked, "Mom, are we imprisoned?"

Helian Rong’s heart ached as she stroked Yang Cheng’s head. After thinking for a moment, she nodded.

Her son was very clever. They had been confined here for some time, and the little one had already noticed something was wrong.

She didn’t hide it, saying, "Yes, there’s a traitor in the sect, and we’re temporarily imprisoned here. So you must behave and not upset the bad guys, or we’ll all suffer."

Yang Cheng asked naively, "Didn’t you say Dad is very powerful? Why doesn’t he come to rescue us? I don’t even remember what Dad looks like. Has he forgotten about us?"

Helian Rong felt a pang in her nose.

She didn’t know how to answer her son’s question.

Should she tell him that his father left them, his wife and son, to find two other women he loved?

She met and fell in love with Yang Fei after Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu. What’s more, it was because of her that Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu left in disappointment. Although Yang Fei went to find them, he had been with her all along, staying until after Yang Cheng was born and had grown up to be one year old before he left.

He was a responsible man.

He wanted to care for everyone, but he was unable to split himself into multiple parts to look after everything, resulting in him being away for several years.

Helian Rong understood Yang Fei, which was why she stayed with him.

This unforeseen change, even if Yang Fei were in Shang Qing Sect, wouldn’t change anything, and more likely, he would have fallen into the hands of the Tianzhu Peak family, subjected to torment.

"There are our two Masters and Grandpa; they’re all so skilled. Why haven’t they come to rescue us? It’s not fun here at all; I want to go out and find my friends at the Medicine Garden." Yang Cheng continued.

Helian Rong was a cultivator, and being imprisoned here was no big deal. She could easily pass the time by entering cultivation mode. But Yang Cheng was still a child, a lively boy, and being imprisoned here for over a month had made him terribly bored, leading to daily commotions in the past few days.

"They were also caught by the bad guys, so Chengcheng needs to listen and be good. We should wait for Master Wan and the Sect Leader to rescue us. Only they have the skills to take us out," Helian Rong patiently comforted the little guy.

Though Yang Cheng was impatient, he was obedient. He had tried countless times but couldn’t get out of the cave, so he grudgingly accepted the situation.

Once the child stopped fussing, even Helian Rong couldn’t calm down to cultivate.

Since being imprisoned here, her mind had been in turmoil.

If Zhantai Chunqiu and Wan Daorong couldn’t suppress this rebellion, she and all those from Earth imprisoned within this Cage Array would not have a good ending.

Especially her and her son.

Yang Fei’s grudges with the Tianzhu Peak family were very clear in her mind. If they stabilized the situation, with Wang Xingpeng’s vengeful nature and hatred toward Yang Fei, he would surely vent his anger on her and her son.

Over the course of over a month, Helian Rong appeared calm but was actually on edge every day.

Moreover, with each passing day, her hope for rescue waned.

However, the situation was what it was; worrying was pointless. With her son around, she had to remain strong. If she lost her composure, what would happen to her son?

Suddenly, an intense, eerie Sword Intent permeated the cave, instantly filling the entire space.

"Rong’er, how are you and Cheng’er? Have you been mistreated?"

A familiar voice unexpectedly entered her ears.

Helian Rong was both surprised and delighted, her spirit uplifted as she exclaimed, "Father?"

The voice belonged to Helian Zhan.

He communicated with her by establishing a connection through his Divine Sense.

"It’s me," Helian Zhan said.

Helian Rong, filled with joy, asked, "Father, are you alright? Is Master with you?"

"We’re all fine. The other side imprisoned us behind this mountain, thinking that with the powerful Cage Array, we wouldn’t be able to escape, so they didn’t poison us or use talismans to seal our cultivation. Everyone is doing well and has not been tortured."

Helian Zhan’s Divine Sense allowed him to observe the situation in Helian Rong and her son’s cave, and seeing they were unharmed, he felt relieved.

Helian Rong was overjoyed and asked, "Father, how did you manage to communicate with me? Have you broken through your realm?"

She then exclaimed in surprise, "That can’t be right, even Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses can’t break through the Isolation Array in each cave. How did you do it?"

In her view, even if Helian Zhan had broken through to the Core Formation Realm, it wouldn’t be enough to communicate with her.

Since Helian Zhan and Ouyang He came to the Shang Qing Sect, they had stayed there to cultivate. Ouyang He was slightly less talented but progressed fairly quickly due to possessing a large number of top-grade spirit stones. However, Helian Zhan was truly a top-tier gifted cultivator. Over the years, he advanced to the peak of Late-stage Foundation Establishment, accumulating the necessary elixir materials to form his core, which was disrupted by the sect’s internal chaos, leading to his imprisonment.

Yet, for someone like Helian Zhan, adversities only fueled his potential. During his confinement, he seized the opportunity to advance to the Core Formation realm, achieving a successful breakthrough.

Not only did his realm advance, but his insights into the Sword Dao also greatly improved. He forcibly breached the cave’s isolation restriction using Sword Dao, and his strong Divine Sense attached to the Sword Intent established communication with Helian Rong.

"Father advanced to the Core Formation Stage. His Sword Dao cultivation also increased significantly. He just used powerful Sword Intent to tear open the space barrier, with Divine Sense attached to the Sword Intent. The first ones I found were you and Cheng’er," Helian Zhan answered.

Helian Rong was overjoyed and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Father, for advancing further on the path of cultivation."

However, Helian Zhan didn’t show any joy, saying, "Sadly, being trapped here, even with my current combat power, I can’t escape the top guardians stationed here, unable to take you both with me."

Helian Rong immediately said, "Father, don’t act rashly. As long as we live, we can seize the chance to escape."

"Hmm, it’s good that you understand. You and Cheng’er rest for now. I’ll go check on the others and see if I can find a way to contact them and, if possible, tear down the barriers between us. If the situation arises, being together might give us more power and hope." Helian Zhan said.

Helian Rong agreed, "You’re right, Father. We must find a way to save ourselves and can’t simply wait for death."
