Chapter 1715 - 1712: The Reason

Chapter 1715: Chapter 1712: The Reason

Ever since Shang Daocheng entered the Earth World, he quickly fled from the vicinity of the teleportation channel entrance.

For he knew that since Xiao Yixian had already let him try, the other Core Formation Stage cultivators from the Wangxian Sect would certainly arrive soon.

He didn’t want to escape the tiger’s mouth only to fall into the hands of those people from the Wangxian Sect.

He must find Yang Fei soon and inform him of the situation.

Although it was his first time visiting Earth, Shang Daocheng had heard some general information about Earth from the Lingxiao Sect disciples who had come here years before, and he knew the exact location of White Jade City, so he traveled with sword control at the fastest pace towards White Jade City.

Having only left shortly before, Shang Daocheng felt a series of fluctuations coming from the void behind him, along with the intense aura emitted by Core Formation Stage cultivators.

Indeed, those from Wangxian Sect had arrived.

Shang Daocheng’s heart tightened even more.

He was alone, while the opposing team was a group, yet their speed couldn’t match his.

Moreover, the opposing group may not be as familiar with the exact location of White Jade City, thus he should be able to reach White Jade City faster and alert Yang Fei and the cultivators of Earth to prepare in advance.

He sprinted forward at his fastest speed, releasing his divine sense to probe the situation behind him.

Finding that the Wangxian Sect’s team hadn’t quickly followed, Shang Daocheng let out a silent sigh of relief.

Everything was indeed as he had guessed.

But soon, his heart stopped, his expression drastically changed.

An inexplicable threat swept in from behind.

It wasn’t that someone had targeted him, but rather, he sensed a terrifyingly strong presence suddenly emerge, which plunged him into terror.

Instinctively, Shang Daocheng turned his head back, while his divine sense tried to probe as far as possible.

He then saw a dazzling silver light shining in the distant void.

A power faintly penetrating from afar that made the Divine Soul tremble.

"What is this?" Shang Daocheng was startled internally, recalling the Supreme Treasure named Soul Binding Rope that Yang Fei possessed.

Though he hadn’t personally witnessed the power of that treasure, he had heard numerous descriptions.

Moreover, there just occurred a conflict as soon as the Wangxian Sect’s cultivators arrived, other than Yang Fei, who else in the Earth World could possess such strength?

Soon, an intense murderous intent emerged from that direction, followed by a cold word "die" echoing from afar.

Shang Daocheng’s spirit surged.

He recognized the voice; it belonged to Yang Fei.

After a brief reflection, Shang Daocheng gritted his teeth and swiftly turned back.

So, when Shang Daocheng arrived at the scene, he saw Qingqiu casting the Charm Dizziness Technique on those Wangxian Sect cultivators, causing them to fall to the ground like dumplings.

What’s going on?

Shang Daocheng was completely stunned.

Among the Wangxian Sect’s team, there were seven or eight Core Formation Stage cultivators with whom Shang Daocheng had interacted and was familiar.

Thus, he knew clearly how powerful their combined combat power was supposed to be.

Yet now, they had all been wiped out upon arrival.

Shang Daocheng felt his scalp tingling, he sensed his understanding of the world built over hundreds of years had become strangely different.

Just as he was lost in thought, Yang Fei’s powerful divine sense swept over him.

Shang Daocheng was startled awake.

"Yang..."

Shang Daocheng instinctively opened his mouth to call out his name but immediately halted himself, saying, "Taoist Yang, it’s me."

Yang Fei felt a sense of familiarity with Shang Daocheng and was about to inquire when Shang Daocheng continued, "I am Shang Daocheng, a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, previously in charge of guarding the teleportation channel entrance, we’ve met before."

Yang Fei recalled, his expression softened a lot, asking, "What happened exactly, how did you come here?"

Shang Daocheng quickly closed in.

Acknowledging Yang Fei’s strong aura, along with the formidable presence of Qingqiu, Qin Yanyang, and Tong Yunshu, Shang Daocheng was secretly shocked.

How many years has it been?

Back then, Earth had few Foundation Establishment cultivators, now there are already so many Core Formation experts.

Particularly that magnificent male who had just bewildered the Wangxian Sect cultivators, his presence was incredibly strong, even more dangerous than Yang Fei in some sense.

Taking a deep breath, Shang Daocheng, who originally considered himself a late-stage Core Formation expert, believing he belonged to highly reputable individuals on Earth and could stand equal with Yang Fei in terms of identity and status, now entirely shelved that thought, stating humbly, "Taoist Yang, the situation is this..."

He quickly explained the situation, mentioning the incident of Ye Wuya being killed.

Upon learning that Ye Wuya had been slain by Lu Guangyuan, Yang Fei felt a deep sense of regret.

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu also expressed their remorse.

Ye Wuya had resided in White Jade City for many years, and later aspired to become a Core Formation Stage cultivator with the aid of Earth’s resources.

The path of cultivation is as challenging as climbing to heavens; Ye Wuya achieved Core Formation Stage at such an age, with great prospects in future, yet meeting his tragic end under Lu Guangyuan, severed from his immortal path, truly sorrowful.

"Lu Guangyuan, eh?"

Yang Fei’s eyes flared with anger, coldly stating, "Someday, I will personally capture his head to avenge Brother Ye."

Shang Daocheng angrily said, "The Southern Domain is now in chaos, many petty scoundrels take advantage of the Shang Qing Sect’s distraction to wreak havoc, and even Lu Family in Qinghe County, like Great Dao Sect, openly betray and defect to the Wangxian Sect, truly hateful!"

Yang Fei nodded, asked, "Do you know the situation of the Shang Qing Sect then?"

Shang Daocheng’s expression darkened, shook his head, "No information yet. But analyzing from the conversations between Xiao Yixian and Lu Guangyuan, the situation isn’t optimistic."

Yang Fei’s heart sank.

With Xiao Yixian and Lu Guangyuan guarding the channel entrance, he couldn’t cross, nor could he ascertain the condition of the Shang Qing Sect, leaving him anxious.

"By the way, Taoist Yang, the Realm Barrier of this teleportation channel has loosened. Although my cultivation is at the late-stage Core Formation level, I’ve been able to pass through easily, which isn’t good for Earth, and you must take precautions." Shang Daocheng said.

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu’s expressions were extremely solemn.

If it were only Foundation Establishment cultivators that could come over, the Four Spirits Blood Array would suffice for defense at White Jade City.

But now the Core Formation experts are able to come over, posing much greater concern.

If Yang Fei hadn’t just demonstrated those special divine skills and means, with merely the cultivator team from Wangxian Sect, it would be very strenuous for their group to intercept and eliminate, and they’d unlikely capture all.

And this is only the beginning, given the vast number of Core Formation experts in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, numbering over thousands, only need dispatch more experts equipped with strong talismans and attack type magical treasures, the Four Spirits Blood Array could easily be breached.

Hence, no matter how the condition in the Southern Domain unfolds next—be it the previous tripartite balance, or the potential dominance by Wangxian Sect alone, Earth will be extremely perilous, subject to rampant invasions, and all resources will be plundered away.

According to their understanding of the cultivation world, even if the Shang Qing Sect can still oversee the broader situation, with their absolute power enabling direct governance or colonization of Earth, they will certainly no longer smile and negotiate terms with Earth as before.

Qin Yanyang gazed at the channel entrance, and said seriously, "Why has this Realm Barrier suddenly loosened?"

Tong Yunshu also exclaimed, "Indeed, that was too sudden!"

Yang Fei, as if already expected, said solemnly, "It probably has something to do with my realm."

The group all turned towards him, wearing expressions of confusion.
