Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1493 - 1490: In Hand and Hope

Feeling the approach of another mid-stage Core Formation master of the Mu Family, Yang Fei worried about being attacked from both sides. With a thought, he instantly teleported towards the opponent as they neared.

Mu Family’s Ninth Elder had just forced Yang Fei’s attack back. When Yang Fei disappeared again, he was shocked and shouted, "Sixth Brother, be careful!"

"Snap!"

The sound of the long whip shattering space echoed almost simultaneously.

Yang Fei suddenly appeared in front of Mu Family’s Sixth Elder, the Soul Binding Rope lashing out and wrapping around him.

Mu Family’s Sixth Elder was terrified. Although he was aware of Yang Fei’s ability to instantly teleport short distances and was secretly on guard, he found himself completely unable to defend when directly confronted.

In an instant, the body of Mu Family’s Sixth Elder stiffened, his Sea of Consciousness forcibly pried open, and his Primordial Spirit was directly extracted by the domineering Soul Capturing Power.

A flash of dark cyan light followed as the falling body of Mu Family’s Sixth Elder was devoured and suppressed by the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

Mu Family’s Ninth Elder was terrified.

First, the Soul Binding Rope locked the soul, followed by the strange Bronze Furnace’s suppression of the body. This series of moves left cultivators of the same Realm with little to no resistance against this person.

Not right, even Fourth Brother, who is a Realm higher, couldn’t withstand it.

Too powerful, too terrifying!

This pursuit saw six Mu Family members dead at once, including two Core Formation masters.

Now, only he was left. Not to mention the female Core Formation Stage cultivator supporting from the side, even those dozen puppet demon beasts that followed Sixth Brother would spell trouble if they surrounded him.

Thus, Mu Family’s Ninth Elder didn’t hesitate, and he directly escaped.

The Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass was indeed important, but his life was more precious. Today’s matter was beyond his ability to resolve, and he needed to report to the family early to send Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses to seize it.

After Yang Fei suppressed Mu Family’s Sixth Elder, he was about to focus on dealing with Mu Family’s Ninth Elder when he noticed the opponent concealing himself with the Wood Escape Technique.

His Divine Sense immediately tracked him, and he instantly teleported in pursuit. However, when he appeared at the previously locked position, he found the target’s trail completely gone, making him frown.

During teleportation, he was effectively leaving the Plane World of the Southern Domain and entering another spatial dimension. Therefore, his Divine Sense lost contact with Mu Family’s Ninth Elder upon reappearance, and the latter’s aura had entirely vanished.

This person’s escape technique and Concealing Breath Technique were indeed superb.

"Let it go," Qin Yanyang called out.

Yang Fei returned to Qin Yanyang’s side, looking towards Han Dachun, who was leaning against a large tree, panting.

"Where is it?" Yang Fei stared at Han Dachun, asking Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang shook her head, "He hasn’t given it to me yet."

"What, don’t want to give it?" Yang Fei asked Han Dachun.

Han Dachun gave a wry smile, saying, "I’ll give it to you. No matter what, if not for Taoist Yang and this Immortal’s help today, I would have already perished here. It seems this Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass is not meant for me, and my dear friend’s fate is as such."

As he spoke, he took out a storage bag, and with a thought, a lush green Immortal Herb emitting a strong Spiritual Power fluctuation appeared.

"Such rich Spiritual Power fluctuation. Moreover, the unique fragrance it emits seems to greatly benefit the Divine Soul," Qin Yanyang said in surprise, "As expected of the Cultivation World, to have such Immortal Herbs and Spirit Grass."

Yang Fei also sensed the extraordinary nature of this herb and reached out to take it.

"It’s a pity it’s not fully matured; otherwise, my friend would only need ten leaves to recover," Han Dachun lamented.

Yang Fei’s heart stirred slightly, "You want to use this herb to save someone?"

Han Dachun sighed, "Yes, otherwise, how could Brother Mu Yun and I dare to steal this Immortal Herb from the Mu Family’s hands?"

Qin Yanyang’s heart softened, "Is your friend a lady?"

Han Dachun’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, avoiding Qin Yanyang’s gaze, and he nodded.

The killing intent that Qin Yanyang had targeted at him dissipated significantly.

This person is indeed someone with feelings and loyalty.

Yang Fei said, "If you wish to use the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass to heal your friend, it means your friend is not in immediate danger. I won’t use this herb for now and will care for it. If your friend can wait until it matures, I wouldn’t mind giving you ten leaves then."

After all, Han Dachun and Mu Yun risked their lives to obtain it, and though I helped Han Dachun fend off the Mu Family experts’ pursuit, I took the item from Han Dachun. Moreover, since Han Dachun aims to save a life, I believe that when I gather the other Immortal Herbs, this Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass should be matured by then. If I can’t use it all, giving him ten leaves won’t be an issue.

Han Dachun was delighted but then seemed despondent, shaking his head, "Daoist Qingyang probably can’t wait that long. She’s... her Divine Soul is severely damaged. Even though Brother Mu Yun and I have tried everything, we can barely sustain her life signs. If she cannot be saved within three years, there will be no chance at all."

Qin Yanyang felt a twinge of empathy.

Li Xuanyu has a hundred years to try, but Han Dachun’s friend only has three years left.

But she didn’t act with a saintly heart because the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass is extremely rare. It’s said that it hasn’t appeared on the Southern Domain market for decades. If I give it to Han Dachun now, what if Yang Fei can’t find a second one?

Yang Fei, however, fell into deep thought.

Han Dachun, looking dejected, slowly stood up and said to Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, "Will you two spare my life?"

Qin Yanyang glanced at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei shook his head, "Go, we are at least acquaintances. If you two hadn’t stolen this Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass first, I wouldn’t have obtained it either."

Han Dachun was grateful even though the Grass was seized from him. Bowing to Yang Fei, he said, "Thank you, Taoist Yang, for today. Until we meet again!"

"Wait," Yang Fei suddenly said.

Han Dachun’s heart tensed, asking bitterly, "Ultimately, you still intend to kill me to silence me? In truth, I know nothing about you, Taoist Yang, even if the Mu Family captures me, I can’t betray you."

Yang Fei shook his head, "Don’t worry, if I said I’d let you go, I won’t go back on my word. I stopped you to tell you that if you bring your friend to find me within three years, I might have a way to help her through this calamity."

Han Dachun had given up hope of saving Fairy Qingyang, but his eyes lit up at these words, looking at Yang Fei with hope, "Really? You’re willing to return the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass?"

Yang Fei smiled, "With three years in the Southern Domain, it should be enough time. I might have a way to mature the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass."

The hope that had risen in Han Dachun’s heart quickly extinguished. He sighed, "Sigh, life and death are fate. This may be my friend’s destined calamity."

Seeing Han Dachun leave, heartbroken, Yang Fei finally couldn’t hold back, "Within three years, I’ll wait for you at Tian Nan Peak."

Han Dachun trembled as he heard this, suddenly turning to Yang Fei, "You... Are you a disciple of the Shang Qing Sect?"

But Yang Fei no longer responded. After securing the pursuing demon beast puppets, he pulled Qin Yanyang and sped away on the Spirit Boat, vanishing from Han Dachun’s sight in an instant.

Han Dachun stood there for a moment, then suddenly two beams of light shot from his eyes. Without any hesitation, he quickly hurried in another direction.
