Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1560: Chapter 1557: Searching

Regarding Yang Fei, my junior brother, Dong Xinghe actually doesn’t know much about him. It was just last time when the family of three from Tianzhu Peak was causing a commotion at Piaomiao Stream; he saw Yang Fei from afar.

However, recently he heard a gossip that this Junior Brother Yang Fei has a new flame, and is getting close to a female disciple of Senior Brother Luo Yu who manages the Medicine Garden.

In the Cultivation World, it’s not unusual for men to have multiple wives, nor is it uncommon for powerful female cultivators to have several male companions. But there are also many female cultivators who are extremely independent; they strongly oppose the idea of multiple marriages, favoring monogamy.

Judging by the current reaction of Junior Brother Yang, it seems Junior Sister Tong has caught wind of his affair with the girl from the Medicine Garden, and has left in a fit of anger, possibly without saying a word?

Dong Xinghe suppresses his curiosity and activates the review permissions, much like retrieving surveillance footage, and quickly discovers the exact situation of Tong Yunshu using the Transmission Array that day.

"Hmm, Junior Sister Tong didn’t go to the market?" Dong Xinghe is slightly surprised, yet understands that his guess was indeed correct, Junior Brother Yang is facing trouble at home.

Yang Fei quickly asks, "Then where did they go? Can you see?"

Dong Xinghe replies, "They directly transmitted to the Transmission Array point in Qinghe County, Central State."

Yang Fei’s heart is triggered.

Central State?

He thinks about Han Dachun and Fairy Qingyang.

The Han Family from which Han Dachun comes is in Central State, including Baiyun Sect, which the Cultivator Muyun, mentioned by Han Dachun and Fairy Qingyang many times, belongs to, is also in Central State.

Having come to the Southern Domain for several years, Yang Fei has heard about Central State as well. It is the central area of the Southern Domain, located at the center of the three major Southern Domain forces: Shang Qing Sect, Wangxian Sect, and Shifang City, making it the most prosperous place in the Southern Domain, favored by cultivators as a place to live and reside.

"Central State’s Qinghe County, right?" Yang Fei confirms once more.

Dong Xinghe nods, "Yes, Junior Sister Tong and her friend indeed directly transmitted to Qinghe County."

"Thank you, Brother Dong."

Yang Fei, pressed by urgency, disregards formalities and dives into the Transmission Array, puts in a Mid-grade Spirit Stone, sets the destination as Qinghe County, Central State, and then transmits over.

After Yang Fei disappears, Dong Xinghe shows a gossiping expression and murmurs to himself, "It seems the trouble at home really is true. For cultivators like us, pursuing the path is the correct course. Junior Brother Yang, with his exceptional talent, should have been the future hope of Tian Nan Peak but ultimately is still too young and is unable to detach from matters of love, presumably will be hindered by these feelings in cultivation; what a pity."

While lamenting, he suddenly slaps his forehead and his face changes drastically: "Oh no, I almost caused a disaster."

He immediately retrieves a Communication Talisman to pass the message to his teacher, Wan Daorong.

Soon, Wan Daorong flashes into appearance before him.

"Where did he go?" Wan Daorong asks.

Dong Xinghe quickly replies, "To Qinghe County, Central State."

Wan Daorong furrows his brow and says, "Who else knows about this affair?"

"Just the two of us, master and disciple." Dong Xinghe says.

Wan Daorong quietly exhales a sigh of relief, ponders for a moment, then says, "Let it be, whether he finds those two women or not, he’ll be back soon."

Dong Xinghe nods, "Yes, I heard that the one from the Medicine Garden is about to give birth, Junior Brother Yang will definitely come back. Besides, his cultivation is not low, and he is part of Shang Qing Sect; there shouldn’t be any problems in Central State."

Wan Daorong doesn’t say a word.

Yang Fei should be aware of the stakes. Staying at Shang Qing Sect’s Tian Nan Peak is relatively safe, but once he leaves Shang Qing Sect, regardless of whether that brainless couple from Tianzhu Peak will act against him again, the Wangxian Sect probably has long been eyeing him.

I have warned him multiple times; hopefully, he knows to hide his identity.

Moreover, he possesses that priceless treasure, so safety should not be a major issue. Being his mentor, though I care about his safety, I cannot possibly protect him all his life, nor can he never leave Shang Qing Sect.

"Do not mention this matter to anyone." Wan Daorong instructs.

Dong Xinghe understands the seriousness of the matter and quickly replies, "Yes, I understand, master."

"If he returns, have him meet me immediately." Wan Daorong says and then disappears in a flash.

Dong Xinghe respectfully responds to the spot where Wan Daorong had just stood.

In Central State, at the transmission center in Qinghe County, Yang Fei walks out with a worried expression.

If he were flying with sword control or journeying with a Spirit Boat, with his current cultivation, it would take him several days to arrive.

Tian Nan Peak is just one of the branches of Shang Qing Sect, yet its own teleportation array manages to transmit people to such a distant place, showing how profound the foundation of Shang Qing Sect is.

Previously, after Yang Fei discovered that Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang had directly come to Qinghe County via Transmission Array, he hurriedly chased after them. Now having reached the transmission point in Qinghe County, he looks around at the passing cultivators, feeling bewildered, not knowing where to find the whereabouts of the two women.

The vastness of Central State, for ordinary humans, is boundless; even just in Qinghe County, its size exceeds the total land area of the Earth World.

Although Yang Fei is now a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, trying to find two people specifically avoiding him is as improbable as searching for a needle in the ocean.

Thinking of Qin Yanyang’s abrupt departure, Tong Yunshu might be more forgiving towards him, fearing he’d worry, perhaps left a brief note to bid farewell. Both women must be very angry with him for hiding the affair with Helian Rong from them.

For a moment, Yang Fei is unsure of how to pursue them, with his mind in turmoil, realizing that over the past two years, he used seeking Wan Daorong to ask for teachings as an excuse, yet secretly met with Helian Rong instead. This negligence in both daily life and cultivation with Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, even concealing facts from them, must have disappointed them profoundly.

They left without saying goodbye, is this because they cannot forgive him and have resolved to not want him anymore?

Thinking this, Yang Fei feels sweat in his palms and a suffocating uneasiness in his chest, unclear on where to head.

"Fellow cultivator, are you looking for something?" Just then, a voice suddenly comes from one side.

Yang Fei is startled awake, glances over to see a middle-aged male cultivator in a blue-gray robe smilingly looking at him, approaching with big strides.

Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Yang Fei sweeps a glance, probing the person’s Realm cultivation, but finds himself puzzled.

He is at mid-stage Core Formation, whereas the other seems only at late-stage Foundation Establishment, yet the person’s polite demeanor is confident and poised, without any hint of the humility a weaker person would show upon meeting a stronger one.

Could this person’s Realm be more advanced than it appears?

Yang Fei elevates his vigilance inwardly but is stirred by the person’s earlier words, asking, "I’m trying to find two people, might you have connections?"
