Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1460 - 1457: Breaking Free from Restraints

Upon hearing Bai Xumi’s words, Yang Fei laughed angrily: "Haha, Senior Brother? What a Senior Brother. If he truly treated me as a junior, he wouldn’t have deliberately toyed with my companion."

This statement caused all the formidable figures present to frown.

Given their understanding of Wang Xingpeng, they feared Yang Fei’s words were indeed true.

Yang Fei naturally understood that Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi’s couple doted on their son immensely. They wouldn’t let him off because of his words, so he immediately turned his gaze to Wan Daorong: "Master, when you took me under your wing, you told me that the Shang Qing Sect was one of the most prestigious sects in the Southern Domain, where disciples uphold justice, help the mortal realms eliminate demons, safeguard the order of the Southern Domain Cultivation World, embody the Righteous Path of cultivation. Yet, in my eyes, this Shang Qing Sect harbors filth and evil. Clearly, Wang Xingpeng kills without reason, wantonly trampling on sect rules and order, but no one can punish him. Shortly after my friend died unjustly, Wang Xingpeng came to provoke again. If I hadn’t arrived in time, my companion would’ve been bullied by him. Is this Shang Qing Sect worth me staying in any longer?"

Yang Fei spoke rapidly, pouring out a slew of words, leaving Wan Daorong to hang his head in shame.

The other Nascent Soul Stage and Divinity Transformation Realm masters of the Shang Qing Sect all slightly furrowed their brows, their faces burning with shame, unable to face Yang Fei.

Guanglingzi’s throat moved slightly, his gaze landing on Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi, a flash of hidden resentment appearing deep in his eyes.

Wang Yuanxiao knew full well what his precious son did regularly. However, due to their couple’s influence over the years, those Wang Xingpeng bullied in the Shang Qing Sect never dared to face them directly, let alone escalate matters pertaining to the sect’s reputation.

Now, as Yang Fei aired grievances publicly and felt the gazes of fellow sect members on them, Wang Yuanxiao felt his ears burning and somewhat embarrassed.

How could he be unaware of his son’s actions?

But over the years, this couple had only one precious son, whom they spoiled particularly, never scolding him loudly. Every time Wang Xingpeng caused trouble, Wang Yuanxiao wanted to teach him strictly, but Bai Xumi always protected him. Over time, he got used to it.

"Young man, stop spouting nonsense, smearing Peng’er’s reputation. Your single statement, how can it be true? Where have you suppressed my Peng’er? What truly happened here? Surely you cannot decide this alone. Quickly release my Peng’er and let him face you. If truly this fault lies with my Peng’er, my wife and I will make him apologize to you," Bai Xumi said urgently, sensing her spouse’s embarrassment under the gaze of her fellow sect members.

Prompted by his spouse’s reminder, Wang Yuanxiao also regained his composure, staring at Yang Fei: "Indeed, whether my son is at fault, you should release him and let them face each other. With so many elders here, we can surely reach a fair judgement of right or wrong."

The Divinity Transformation Realm master beside Guanglingzi, Xiao Shuhui, coughed lightly, his gaze falling on Yang Fei, smiling: "Nephew Yang Fei, your Master Bai is right. We were unaware of the grievances between you and Wang Xingpeng before. Release him now and explain face to face. With so many elders here, we will surely stand by you and not let you endure grievances."

Guanglingzi gave Xiao Shuhui a glance and nodded, adding, "Indeed, Senior Brother Wan, let your disciple release Nephew Wang Xingpeng. With you to uphold justice for him, and all of us siblings here, for Shang Qing Sect’s reputation, everyone will handle the matter fairly."

At Guanglingzi’s words about handling it fairly, Wang Yuanxiao slightly furrowed his brow.

It seemed a matter from over a hundred years ago still lingered in Brother Guanglingzi’s mind, hard to let go.

Alas, regardless of the outcome this time, he had to discipline that unfilial son well, or they’d be unable to stay in Shang Qing Sect.

Wan Daorong looked at Yang Fei and said: "Fei’er, if you trust me, trust our Uncle and Elder Masters, trust the prestige of Shang Qing Sect, release him and clarify the matter. I will uphold justice for you."

Yang Fei sighed inwardly.

He had struggled hard to suppress Wang Xingpeng, aiming to kill him, not willing to release him easily.

Yet, having misjudged and underestimated a Divinity Transformation Realm master’s Divine Power Means.

He couldn’t currently communicate with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl using Divine Sense, couldn’t escape back to Earth, his life held in Wang Yuanxiao’s hands, forced to lower his head.

However, with Wang Xingpeng as a hostage, he felt he could still confront Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi, but while he could afford time, Earth could not.

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace he had brought with him must be returned quickly. Otherwise, with the White Jade City’s Four Spirits Blood Array losing effectiveness, the demon beast army’s invasion might spell disaster for the people of White Jade City.

As for Wang Xingpeng, even if sparing him today, he could find future opportunities to eliminate him.

Let him live a few more days for now.

After making some assessments, although dissatisfied, Yang Fei could only nod in accordance with Wan Daorong’s intention.

Wan Daorong saw Yang Fei agreeing, breathed a small sigh of relief.

He genuinely cared about Yang Fei’s life and death.

The recent interactions solidified Wan Daorong’s affection towards Yang Fei, considering him a true closed-door disciple.

Besides, Yang Fei was related to the crucial supply of the Genetic Liquid Medicine.

Li Shuya also took a relieved breath.

Everyone turned their gazes to Yang Fei.

Yet Yang Fei made no move.

Bai Xumi furrowed her brow: "Boy, release my Peng’er first."

Yang Fei snorted: "Master Wang used Divine Power Means to bind me, my Divine Sense cannot be freed from the Sea of Consciousness Space, how can I activate that Magic Treasure to release someone?"

Bai Xumi hurriedly said to Wang Yuanxiao: "Quickly release him so he can release our Peng’er."

Reflecting on his assessment of Yang Fei, Wang Yuanxiao couldn’t help but frown and stare at Yang Fei: "Boy, if you dare pull any tricks, I can kill you easily."

Yang Fei’s heart skipped a beat.

This person’s caution, sealing his Divine Sense within the Sea of Consciousness Space upon touching him, seemed to have seen through his ability to communicate with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to escape this world.

But soon, he dismissed the thought.

The Extreme Fire Demon Pearl’s secret was unknown even to Tong Yunshu, and Li Er had mentioned that in the contemporary Southern Domain Cultivation World, its legend was likely forgotten.

Surely Wang Yuanxiao detected his frequent Divine Sense usage as he attempted to communicate with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl, possessing a meticulous and cautious mind, thus directly employing Domain to constrain him.

Considering this, Yang Fei replied: "I don’t dare."

Wang Yuanxiao scrutinized Yang Fei again, finally waving his right hand to lift the seal restraining him.

Yang Fei immediately felt a weight lift off him, his Divine Sense Telekinesis gaining freedom, breathing a small sigh of relief.

He glanced at the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl floating before him, then turned his head to look at Tong Yunshu afar, inwardly torn and conflicted.
