Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1494 - 1491: The Shen Family’s Investment

"Let’s find a place to stop first, and I’ll treat your wounds." On the Spirit Boat, Qin Yanyang looked at the injuries on Yang Fei and rummaged through the storage bag for healing medicines.

Yang Fei shook his head, "It’s fine. I’ll recover in a few days."

As he spoke, he secretly transmitted a message, "Let’s observe and see if that Core Formation Master who escaped will follow us."

Qin Yanyang’s heart tightened with caution.

Indeed, this is the Southern Domain Cultivation World, not Earth. They were traveling in the Martial Arts World, and had to be very careful.

The Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass was so important; they had killed a few experts from that Mu family, so the grudge was set, and the opponent wouldn’t let it go easily. They might follow and track them.

Qin Yanyang spread out his Divine Sense but found nothing. "Did you sense him following us?" he asked.

Yang Fei transmitted back, "Not for now, but we can test it."

Qin Yanyang was puzzled, "How?"

"Watch me."

Yang Fei mobilized his mana, pushing the Spirit Boat to its utmost speed.

The Spirit Boat was favored in the Cultivation World because its flying speed was far faster and more convenient than flying by oneself or with Sword Flight.

Yang Fei deliberately accelerated to see if Mu Family’s Ninth Elder was truly tailing them.

If the opponent were indeed tailing them, Yang Fei’s acceleration might make it hard to keep up purely relying on Escape Techniques, thus exposing themselves.

However, after the Spirit Boat flew dozens of miles, nothing stirred behind them.

"It seems that person really fled." Qin Yanyang said.

Yang Fei nodded.

The combat power they displayed might have scared the opponent off from following them.

"Let’s rest on that hill; I’ll treat your wounds." Qin Yanyang remained concerned about Yang Fei’s injuries.

Yang Fei complied, stopping at the hill Qin Yanyang pointed to for treatment.

After using both internal and external medicines, they began to cultivate again.

The location was less than a three-day journey to Xifeng Valley; they had to be in top condition before proceeding.

Deep in the woods ten miles away, Mu Family’s Ninth Elder, Mu Renqing, peeked from an ancient tree.

"Hmph, you’re quite alert, but if you think you can easily shake off Mu Renqing, you’re underestimating me," Mu Renqing muttered to himself, full of confidence.

His escape techniques were highly refined, and he had faced dangerous scenarios many times but always managed to escape with those techniques.

In addition, he possessed a tracking treasure.

Having been in contact with Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, he secretly left a tracking marker on Qin Yanyang; as long as they were within a hundred miles, he could lock onto Qin Yanyang’s precise location with the treasure.

"Within three days, a Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator from the family will catch up; then, neither of you will have a place to rest in peace," Mu Renqing thought angrily.

Fourth and sixth brothers had died before his eyes, a significant blow not just to himself but a huge loss of talent for the entire Mu family, a grudge they would not let go unavenged.

Moreover, the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass was crucial for saving a powerful clan member; if successful, the Mu family would gain another top combat power, elevating their influence in the Central State World of the Southern Domain.

By using the tracking treasure, Mu Renqing sensed the two resting on a hill, cultivating. So, he took the opportunity to swallow a Gathering Spirit Pill, sitting cross-legged, wanting to restore his mana quickly.

But suddenly, his scalp tingled, feeling watched by a cold gaze.

The sensation was too familiar to him.

It was like being watched by a high-ranking cultivator far beyond his level.

At such moments, all one could do was stay put, pretending to notice nothing, for any extraneous movement might displease this formidable person, leading to certain death.

Such was the cruelty of the Cultivation World.

Once the gaze scanned over him and disappeared, Mu Renqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunate indeed; as long as one didn’t encounter an exceptionally eccentric powerful cultivator, usually, there’d be no trouble, since few in the Cultivation World harassed the weak.

Deep within the void, Shen Canglan, who had been shadowing the trio, ultimately chose not to intervene to help Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang eliminate the Mu family pursuer.

Shen Wanjing had instructed him merely to ensure Yang Fei’s safety without interfering excessively.

Although Yang Fei was currently under surveillance by the Mu family, he wasn’t on the verge of death yet, so intervention wasn’t needed.

Besides, he was increasingly intrigued by Yang Fei.

Such a young man had so many secrets.

With merely a mid-stage Core Formation Cultivation, he could leap and slay a late-stage Core Formation master. Another opponent, of similar realm, he could defeat with ease, sustaining only minor injuries.

That whip was quite something.

As well as that Bronze Furnace.

Either of these big killer weapons would allow a cultivator to dominate in their realm, yet this young man possessed both.

Even beyond this, the young man could employ Rune Tao for instant teleportation, which was indeed unbelievable.

Though not comparable to true instant teleportation at the Divinity Transformation Realm, in the same realm, such skills are an unbeatable ace.

Moreover, those Puppet Demon Beasts he refined were Spiritual Puppets. Given his current Realm, it shouldn’t be possible to refine Spiritual Puppets; could the Silver Whip also be responsible?

Shen Canglan couldn’t help but feel the urge to ask Yang Fei to study the whip.

But he eventually suppressed that impulse.

The Genetic Liquid Medicine alone was of immeasurable value, not to mention Shen Wanjing saw great potential in the young man. For the Shen family’s future, it was better not to exhaust the source.

Thus, Shen Canglan kept a covert watch over Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang for a day and night.

After an entire day and night, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang had fully recovered, and the two continued their journey towards West Phoenix Valley aboard the Spirit Boat.

Shen Canglan was astonished.

The two of them recovered at an incredible speed.

Moreover, he vaguely noticed that the female cultivator appearing beside Yang Fei might possess a Top-grade Earth Spirit Root Talent.

Such geniuses emerged once in a millennium in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, so why did two suddenly appear?

Shen Canglan suddenly understood why Shen Wanjing valued Yang Fei so highly.

If this young man could grow successfully, his future achievements would likely rival Shen Wanjing’s, and if Shen Wanjing couldn’t break through his barrier, having Yang Fei as a friend would ensure the Shen family’s continued progress.

As a powerful aristocratic family in the Cultivation World, being strong was, of course, important, but investing in cultivators with the potential to become top-tier was also crucial.
