Chapter 1518 - 1515: Robber
All the way following behind Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, Shen Canglan knew the origin and reasons of the enmity between the Yang couple and the Mu Family, and he even witnessed the whole process when Yan Xihua came forward to help resolve the grudge.
Even if the Mu Family wanted to renege, they wouldn’t act so hastily. Even if the Mu Family underestimated the importance Shang Qing Sect and Shen Family put on Yang Fei, Yan Xihua had clearly stated he wanted to protect Yang Fei. Acting to kill this far from West Phoenix Valley is truly not regarding Yan Xihua at all.
So, Shen Canglan believed these people were not invited by the Mu Family.
However, Shen Canglan also had no intention of intervening.
He was now deeply interested in the powerful magic treasures on Yang Fei and wanted to see what Yang Fei’s greatest trump card was.
Thus, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang rode the Spirit Boat rapidly towards the direction of Shang Qing Sect, with a team of six tightly following behind. The leading person, though hiding their aura with special means, clearly had a cultivation stronger than the other five, always leading the way and also helping the five hide their aura, so from the moment they followed Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang up to a hundred miles, they still hadn’t been discovered.
Shen Canglan silently shook his head in the dark. These two youngsters, despite their extraordinary talent and achieving Core Formation at such a young age, had too little experience in the cultivation world and were not cautious enough, being followed for such a long time without any awareness.
"True Monarch Cang Yuan, this place is over five hundred miles from West Phoenix Valley, and within five hundred miles there are no Immortal Gates or aristocratic families, a perfect place to act. Further ahead is the territory of the Zhong Family, which depends on Shang Qing Sect, acting then might encounter unexpected troubles."
Yao Anping transmitted a message to Cang Yuan.
Cang Yuan replied, "Wait a little longer, fifty miles ahead is Cuiyue Lake, we will act there."
Yao Anping responded, "Yes, everything will follow True Monarch’s arrangement."
Despite saying this, inwardly, he was secretly speechless.
This True Monarch Cang Yuan was indeed very cautious. Their targets included one at middle stage Core Formation, and another at early stage Core Formation. In their team, not to mention they had Cang Yuan, a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, even just the Yao Brothers could complete the mission of intercepting and killing.
The Yao Brothers were infamous evil cultivators in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, specializing in robbery and murder, notorious as robbers in the Southern Domain.
The reason they hadn’t been eradicated by those powerful forces in Southern Domain was firstly due to their cleverness, never attacking disciples of powerful cultivation forces, and secondly, because they kept their whereabouts secret, excelling at tracking and escaping techniques.
Often after a plunder, they would relocate, disappearing for years, making them impossible to be found.
After informing his brothers of True Monarch Cang Yuan’s plan, Yao Anping quietly followed behind Cang Yuan.
Soon, a vast blue lake appeared on the horizon, Cuiyue Lake.
Cuiyue Lake was immense, stretching beyond the eye could see, its surface cold and filled with water monsters. However, these monsters held little value for cultivators, with only a few types having inner cores or flesh that were medicinal materials.
However, the freezing lake water produced fish with a fresh and unique taste, offering strengthening benefits to ordinary people and even low rank cultivators, making the area quite famous and a frequent spot for artifact refining cultivators and even Foundation Establishment Cultivators to gain experience.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang stood atop the Spirit Boat, gazing towards the lake below. Qin Yanyang couldn’t help saying, "Truly beautiful, a place where one might settle down for quiet cultivation."
"Indeed the lake is vast, but the spiritual energy here is relatively thin, not an ideal place for permanent cultivation," Yang Fei replied.
Qin Yanyang, though new to the Southern Domain, had passed many places along the way. Not to mention places like West Phoenix Valley suffused with spiritual energy, even other spots along the journey boasted higher spiritual energy than here.
"Yang Fei, I’ve thought it over carefully, and I won’t follow you back to Shang Qing Sect," Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei was taken aback, frowning, "Why?"
Qin Yanyang replied, "Master Wan knows me. You didn’t return to Earth, yet I’ve suddenly come here from Earth. He only needs to inquire with the Lingxiao Sect guarding the transmission channel to know I didn’t come from there, and he will surely have suspicions."
Yang Fei smiled, "No matter, you disguise yourself. I’ll say you’re a friend I encountered, it’ll be fine."
Qin Yanyang shook her head, "A figure like Master Wan can see through my Disguise Technique. Yang Fei, I know you believe Master Wan treats you well and would always protect you, but you have too many treasures. Once he learns the secret of the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl, who can guarantee he won’t be tempted?"
Yang Fei fell silent.
He held Qin Yanyang’s hand, reluctant, "But I really don’t want to be apart from you. Our dual cultivation together is how we grow faster. Besides, the Southern Domain World is extremely dangerous. If you’re not beside me, what if something happens?"
Qin Yanyang said, "I’m already a Core Formation Cultivator. While not among the strongest here, I’m still considered a master, and generally, nothing will happen."
"You’re so beautiful, moreover with a top-grade Earth Spirit Root talent, it’s too easy to attract attention," Yang Fei said worriedly.
Qin Yanyang smiled slightly, "Are you worried someone might steal me away?"
Yang Fei nodded, "Yes. With your spirit root talent, in the eyes of major figures in the cultivation world, you’re the ideal top-grade Furnace, too easy to target."
Qin Yanyang glared at him angrily, "Do you take me for a fickle woman? Moreover, I’m cultivating quietly, how frequently would I encounter those strong figures? Even if I did, they wouldn’t use a Spirit Testing Stone on my root talent out of nowhere."
Yang Fei thought she made sense and eased a bit.
Seeing how concerned he was, Qin Yanyang felt quite appreciated inside.
As they talked, they reached above the center of the lake.
Suddenly, a sharp sound from behind caught their alert, and they turned their heads.
A bright blue light escape was approaching rapidly from behind.
This was the light escape effect when a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse flew.
Behind that light escape, five other figures broke through the air, among them, two were flying not slow at all. Based on Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang’s experience, they could immediately judge those two were Core Formation realm experts.
As for the remaining three, they were traveling by Sword Control, clearly slower, all were late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The two watched the speeding figures warily, secretly on guard.
The bright blue light escape stopped in midair not far from the duo, revealing a middle-aged male cultivator wearing a turquoise robe.
His gaze locked onto Yang Fei, and he asked, "Are you Yang Fei?"
