Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1527 - 1524: Dirty Work

After waiting in the dark for a day and night, Shen Canglan finally saw Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang reappear in this void.

Though this was the second time he had personally witnessed Yang Fei bringing Qin Yanyang into this dimensional void, Shen Canglan was still astonished.

That mysterious space treasure was indeed too special.

Normally, space treasures are used only as storage spaces.

A remarkable space treasure can indeed temporarily hide its owner, but such a space can be considered a miniature Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Especially if it allows entry to cultivators of higher realms, indicating that the space rules of that Cave Heaven Blessed Land are becoming stronger, making the internal space broader and its properties naturally more advanced.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang are both Core Formation cultivators, considered not weak in the Cultivation World.

A space treasure that can accommodate both of them, allowing them to stay for a day and night, or even longer, possesses attributes coveted even by Shen Canglan, a peak Divinity Transformation Realm expert.

Although such space treasures might still be of little use to a top-tier expert like him, the key issue is that after the calamity of the Ancient End of Dharma Era, the Cultivation World rarely sees decent space type treasures.

Thus, if Shen Canglan could obtain Yang Fei’s space treasure, it would surely be a rare treasure and toy to flaunt among his peers.

The most crucial aspect is that it’s just what he speculates about its spatial properties.

Perhaps the treasure has even greater potential, but Yang Fei, with his current cultivation, simply can’t uncover it; if it falls into Shen Canglan’s hands, perhaps there’ll be even more surprising discoveries.

While holding his doubts inwardly, Shen Canglan scrutinized Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang with his eyes.

Indeed, the lad’s state had recovered to its peak... or should I say, not quite peak, as his primordial spirit seemed somewhat depleted.

Yet, compared to the time before he left, his condition was greatly different.

In that space world, the flow of time might differ from that of the Southern Domain World, allowing him to restore himself to his best state before emerging.

It must be the case.

Shen Canglan couldn’t help but grow even more interested in the space treasure that Yang Fei possessed.

He had a granddaughter who was the most talented among all his descendants, now also at Core Formation cultivation. If he gifted her this space treasure, she could have an additional chance of survival when facing dangers while navigating the Martial Arts World.

Should he lay in ambush near the Shang Qing Sect, disguise himself, and seize this space treasure from the lad?

No, no.

If he snatched it and gave it to his beloved granddaughter, and she used it in the future, once the lad finds out, wouldn’t he be able to guess it was I who did it?

Even if he can’t directly suspect me, he would suspect the Shen Family, leading to animosity between him and the Shen Family?

No, no.

This lad has a powerful background and extraordinary talent; he’s a strategic ally selected specifically by the Family Head for the future of the Shen Family. I must not ruin relations over a mere treasure.

While contemplating, Shen Canglan suddenly furrowed his brow.

He saw Yang Fei suddenly raise his head, gazing deep into the sky above Cuiyue Lake.

The direction he looked in was precisely Shen Canglan’s hidden location.

"What’s wrong?" Qin Yanyang noticed Yang Fei suddenly stiffen and stare into the sky, quickly looked over, but the sky was crystal clear, nothing to see.

A hint of doubt flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes as he shook his head and said, "Nothing, maybe I’m too tense and had an illusion, just felt someone was watching me."

Qin Yanyang’s heart raced, hurriedly said, "Let’s leave here first."

Yang Fei nodded, released the Spirit Boat, and the two set off again towards the Shang Qing Sect.

Three thousand miles east of Cuiyue Lake was entering into Zhong Family territory.

This Zhong Family wasn’t the one in the southern of the Southern Domain but was known in the Southern Domain Cultivation World as the Yinzhou Zhong Family.

Yinzhou City lay here.

The mountains around Yinzhou City were rich in crimson gold, one of the largest crimson gold veins in the Southern Domain.

Crimson gold is a crucial resource for artifact refining, requiring it as a basis for the refining of all magic artifacts.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that, aside from a few Fifth Rank and higher Divine and Immortal Grade treasures, nearly all magic artifacts in the Cultivation World require crimson gold to be refined.

It’s said the Zhong Family ancestor was the first cultivator to discover this crimson gold vein; relying on firsthand information, the ancestor prospered by selling crimson gold. Knowing his strength couldn’t defend the large vein, he wisely sought alliance with the Shang Qing Sect.

The Shang Qing Sect was very pleased with the Zhong Family ancestor’s allegiance, allowing him to establish a clan in Yinzhou City, assisting the Shang Qing Sect in managing and controlling the crimson gold vein. Since then, the Yinzhou City Zhong Family gradually accumulated growth and nowadays ranks among the top three subordinate family forces of the Shang Qing Sect.

In Yinzhou City, the top floor of Wangyue Tower recently housed a grand guest.

This person, upon arrival, rented the entire floor, forbidding outsiders from entering.

Wangyue Tower’s owner, Cui An, his sister was early on chosen by the Zhong Family and got married into the Zhong Family, becoming the wife of a direct lineage member. Since then, Cui An had a meteoric rise and gained some influence in the Yinzhou City.

When the news of a grand guest arriving at Wangyue Tower came to mind, Cui An naturally relayed the message to his brother-in-law immediately, who then promptly asked him to investigate the guest. But after observing for several days, Cui An found the guest had never left the tower and couldn’t inquire into his background.

That afternoon, Cui An noticed the guest finally coming down the tower.

He hurriedly greeted him with a smile, asking, "Honored guest, is there anything I can assist you with?"

This person had a square face with ordinary looks, belonging to a category easily overlooked in a crowd.

He glanced at Cui An indifferently, but that gaze made Cui An feel immense fear.

Cui An’s heart raced, though his innate talent wasn’t great, with his sister’s help he barely reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, now at mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Yet under this man’s gaze, it felt like facing a primordial beast.

This person is so powerful!

"Is Zhong Weiju your brother-in-law?" the man stared at Cui An and asked.

Cui An was startled, quickly nodded and replied, "To answer senior, Zhong Weiju indeed is my brother-in-law."

"Have him come see me immediately," the man said coldly.

Cui An saw his unequivocal tone, growing even more certain this guest was extraordinary.

His brother-in-law was a direct lineage of the Zhong Family, also a key contender for high positions in the Zhong Family’s future leadership, yet this man seemed to have a calling attitude over his brother-in-law.

Cui An quickly responded, "Yes, may senior please wait a moment, this junior shall return shortly."

The man watched Cui An leave, turning his gaze west, an icy gleam flickering in his eyes.

The agreed time had passed, it seemed Cang Yuan and the Yao Brothers had failed; his teacher’s wife had given him a death order, he must take that person’s head back.

But that lad was Master Wan’s closed-door disciple; if traced back to him directly killing the lad, how could Master Wan ever let him go?

This dirty deed must be done by others, and he would erase all informed parties afterward, leading to absolutely no one suspecting.
