Chapter 1728: Chapter 1725: Overbearing

After getting the answer he wanted from Yan Xihua, Lu Qiushang looked toward Sun Xingyu.

His piercing gaze was like two tangible blades, measuring Sun Xingyu from head to toe, looking down as if staring at an ant that could be crushed at any time.

"Kid."

Lu Qiushang spoke, his voice not loud but carrying an undeniable pressure, "Among us who can go to Earth, it can only be you. You are originally from Earth and have a deep relationship with Yang Fei, right?"

Sun Xingyu felt an intangible pressure enveloping his entire body, as though someone had gripped his lifeline, making it difficult even to breathe.

He knew that before someone of this level, any trickery would be futile. To ensure his own safety, he absolutely could not engage in any antics or schemes before this person.

He dared not conceal anything, nodded honestly and said, "Yes, senior."

Lu Qiushang nodded, directly commanding:

"You quickly go to Earth and inform Yang Fei,"

Standing with his hands behind his back, Lu Qiushang’s tone was flat as if ordering a household servant, "The past grudges between my Wangxian Sect and him can be written off. But he must immediately return the disciples of my Wangxian Sect he detained."

"Also, the supply of top-grade spirit stones and genetic liquid medicine Earth provided to the Southern Domain before must now be supplemented equally to my Wangxian Sect and the Yan Family. As for future supplies... it will be distributed according to the agreement we will negotiate among ourselves, so Earth does not need to worry."

Tyrannical.

It was simply too tyrannical.

Sun Xingyu clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedding into his palms.

Though Earth’s status in the Southern Domain Cultivation World over the years wasn’t high, it at least received recognition from various forces, and with the protection of the Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City, it managed to live in relative peace.

But in the mouth of this Half Step Dao Unity powerhouse, Earth seemed like an easily controllable soft persimmon. That tone, that attitude, it was as if all of Earth’s resources were expected to be obediently handed over at a word from Lu Qiushang.

Sun Xingyu felt incredibly stifled, but he dared not show even a trace.

He’s no fool; the disparity in strength is evident. If Lu Qiushang got angry, even a glance could destroy him, and at that time, not even Yan Xihua could save him. And would the Yan Family launch a large-scale offensive against Wangxian Sect just because of his relationship with Yan Xihua after his death?

He knew he wasn’t that important.

The fury of the weak is but a joke before the strong.

Just then, a familiar and gentle female voice sounded in Sun Xingyu’s mind.

"Sun Lang, endure for now."

It was Yan Xihua’s transmission.

"Lu Qiushang is ruthless; you must not anger him. I understand you are certainly feeling stifled now, but everything must wait until the experts from the Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City arrive and make a careful plan. Before then, no matter what he says, respond first."

Sun Xingyu took a deep breath, suppressing the fiery anger in his heart.

He’s quite astute, and even more so understands the situation. So, under the gaze of Lu Qiushang that seemed to see through everything, he respectfully clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Master Lu Qiu can rest assured, the junior will convey your words without missing a single word."

Lu Qiushang nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied with this outcome, "Go."

Sun Xingyu turned and quickly walked toward the transmission channel.

His steps were steady, his back straight, seemingly neither servile nor arrogant. But only he knew how fast his heart was beating and how soaked his hand was with sweat when faced with that formidable figure.

When he reappeared, it was on the familiar majestic peaks of White Jade City.

"How did it go?" Yang Fei asked.

Sun Xingyu was silent for a moment, then told his experiences in the Southern Domain completely, from Lu Qiushang suddenly appearing near the transmission channel, to the earth-shattering pressure, to his conversation with Yan Xihua, and finally the words Lu Qiushang wanted him to bring back.

After speaking, White Jade City was eerily silent.

Yang Fei’s face was ashen, the veins on his forehead pulsing.

"It’s so damned bullying!" Huang Chengcheng stomped his feet in anger.

Wang Lei sat silently but his hand gripping the knife hilt was white at the knuckles; this was someone who could coalesce Sword Intent without yet drawing his sword, clearly truly infuriated.

Qin Yanyang, though also indignant, remained sufficiently calm: "Angry as we are, the situation is stronger. What Earth lacks most now isn’t dignity, but time."

Tong Yunshu also worriedly said, "Lu Qiushang is Half Step Dao Unity; looking across the entire Southern Domain Cultivation World only Shen Wanjing and Tantai Chunqiu can confront him. If we go head-to-head now, it’s like striking a stone with an egg."

Although the words were unpleasant, everyone knew this was reality.

How many years has Earth’s Spiritual Energy Revival been? Even though the cultivation speed of Yang Fei and others is considered astonishing, time is still the greatest chasm. From the revival to now, even the most gifted individuals like Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang have only recently formed their cores.

And on the other side is a monster that has lived for unknown thousands of years.

Huang Chengcheng had been pleased with his recent core formation, now he felt the Golden Core he painstakingly formed seemed not so worth flaunting.

"The plan to unite the Yan Family, Shang Qing Sect, and Shifang City to oppose Wangxian Sect remains unchanged." He spoke with steady resolve, clearly having come to a decision, "But since the people from Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City have not arrived, our task is to steady Lu Qiushang, not letting him feel there are any disturbances from Earth."

"Yanyang is right; the most important thing now is to buy time. But Lu Qiushang’s appetite is also too large, wanting us to immediately fulfill past supplies of genetic liquid medicine and top-grade spirit stones to the Southern Domain. Heh, he really dares ask for a lion’s share."

Sun Xingyu asked, "Do we give them?"

Yang Fei sneered repeatedly, "Not a chance. First, release their people and let Qi Yunhe return to deliver a message, saying production of genetic liquid medicine is insufficient and the next batch won’t be ready for another half a year, at which time it will be provided."

Sun Xingyu contemplated briefly and said, "Lu Qiushang won’t completely believe it, but in the short term they can’t come, so they have no way to deal with us."

Yang Fei said, "I’m just trying to buy some time now."

The tyranny of Lu Qiushang made him more resolved that he must unite other forces to destroy Wangxian Sect together.

Soon after, Qi Yunhe was brought over.

Upon hearing Yang Fei wanted to release him and the others from Wangxian Sect, Qi Yunhe was stunned, thinking he misheard.

"Yang... Taoist Yang, are you really going to release me... and the other brothers and sisters?" Qi Yunhe cautiously asked.
