Chapter 1750: Chapter 1747: Jiang Yao’s Message

"Haha, after so many years, it’s delightful to see the two of you have attained the Golden Core Path."

Yang Fei had already noticed through divine sense exploration that both Li Yue and Gan Qian had reached Core Formation Realm, so he congratulated them upon meeting.

Li Yue and Gan Qian both stopped and saluted respectfully, "We owe our success today largely to Taoist Yang’s support; we will never forget such great kindness and virtue."

Yang Fei waved his hand and said, "There is no need for such politeness, dear fellow cultivators. The path of cultivation primarily depends on oneself. Achieving today’s accomplishments is inseparable from your own talent and diligence."

Gan Qian said, "Taoist Yang mustn’t say that. If we hadn’t received your preferential treatment on Earth, we couldn’t have grown so swiftly."

Li Yue also said, "Indeed, with our talent and status in Lingxiao Sect, it would have taken over fifty years to successfully form a core. But due to meeting Taoist Yang on Earth and receiving immense favors from Earth, we managed to shorten the time needed for our breakthrough."

Yang Fei laughed heartily and did not modestly decline further.

As long as these two sincerely appreciate the kindness from their time on Earth, it’s enough.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Fei asked, "Do the two of you have a matter to discuss with me?"

Gan Qian and Li Yue’s expressions darkened, and the latter spoke, "Taoist Yang must have heard of the tragic news concerning Senior Brother Ye Wuya?"

Yang Fei sighed, "Indeed, I heard of it. Taoist Ye once had such bright prospects, but who would have thought he’d meet a cruel end and perish on this cultivation journey."

Gan Qian and Li Yue saw that Yang Fei truly had feelings for Ye Wuya, warming their hearts. Their judgment about Yang Fei was right; he had genuine emotions connecting him to those Southern Domain cultivators who once roamed Earth.

"Lu Guangyuan has now joined Wangxian Sect, and since he already was an early stage Divinity Transformation expert, I can’t seek revenge for Taoist Ye Wuya now. But believe me, Taoist Ye Wuya got implicated due to me, and since his grandson Lu Jianxing died by my hand, I’ve long sworn a vow for revenge against Lu Guangyuan. If I, Yang Fei, ever reach Divinity Transformation, my first act will be to find Lu Guangyuan and settle scores." Yang Fei spoke with resolute determination.

He wasn’t merely saying these things; he genuinely harbored intense hatred toward Lu Guangyuan.

The Lu Family, which initially thrived under Shang Qing Sect’s support, defected and joined Wangxian Sect as Shang Qing Sect faced tribulations.

Moreover, both Lu Guangyuan and Lu Jianxing abducted him. If he hadn’t already grasped the Power Law left by Patriarch Li Er on Earth, allowing him to dispel the God level Demon Suppression Talisman placed on him and counter-slay Lu Jianxing, he dared not imagine what his fate would have been.

Thus, the vendetta with the Lu Family lingered deeply in Yang Fei’s heart, never forgotten.

Gan Qian and Li Yue heard Yang Fei’s address and were profoundly moved. They had close ties with Ye Wuya, and the seven of them had survived on Earth for so many years. After returning to Lingxiao Sect, the other sect members regarded them differently, forcing them to huddle together for warmth, fostering deep emotions.

Li Yue cupped his hands, saying, "Taoist Yang, your magnanimity is admirable; on behalf of Senior Brother Ye, thank you."

Yang Fei quickly said, "Why the formalities, Brother Li? You are disciples and companions of Ye Wuya, and I am his friend too. His murder burdens me as well. If I have the chance someday, avenging him is merely incidental, especially given how deeply my grudge with the Lu Family runs."

Gan Qian nodded and said, "Taoist Yang, both of us are under Sect Master Jiang Yao’s orders to meet with you."

Yang Fei wasn’t surprised by this.

He was aboard Guanglingzi’s Spirit Ship, and if Gan Qian and Li Yue simply wanted to reminisce with him, they wouldn’t dare approach recklessly. Clearly, they came on Lingxiao Sect’s upper echelons’ command.

Yang Fei felt gratitude toward Jiang Yao.

He asked, "After Sect Master Jiang Yao’s fierce clash with Lu Guangyuan when he fled, is he alright?"

Gan Qian and Li Yue both shook their heads, and the former said, "The Sect Master recovered quickly; not only that, after the Shang Qing Sect affair concluded, he returned to the sect, went into seclusion, and in just one year, broke through to Divinity Transformation Realm."

Yang Fei was overjoyed at the news, "That’s excellent. Lingxiao Sect now boasts two members of Divinity Transformation. It will surely help them establish a strong foothold in the Southern South Domain."

Gan Qian nodded, "Yes, the Southern Domain’s situation has drastically changed, and many forces focus their attention here. This area being Lingxiao Sect’s domain poses significant pressure to us."

"It also presents great opportunity," Yang Fei added, "Using this geographical advantage, as long as Lingxiao Sect grows stronger, it’ll achieve better development."

"Though true, easier said than done," Li Yue was less optimistic, shaking his head and said, "The Sect Master mentioned Taoist Yang is with the esteemed Shang Qing Sect expert, and it’s inconvenient for him to meet. He sends both of us, hoping Lingxiao Sect can maintain good relations with Taoist Yang, nurturing a friendship."

Yang Fei’s heart stirred, vaguely understanding Jiang Yao’s intent.

"Sect Master Jiang Yao has shown kindness to me, and due to you all, Lingxiao Sect has always been a friend in my heart."

Gan Qian and Li Yue were overjoyed and secretly proud, feeling that with Yang Fei’s current cultivation realm and background, his esteem for them bestowed immense honor.

Li Yue said, "Taoist Yang, my Sect Master has mentioned that he will seek a chance to kill Lu Guangyuan. If Wangxian Sect imposes trouble on Lingxiao Sect then, we hope Taoist Yang can persuade Shang Qing Sect to support Lingxiao Sect, binding us together deeper."

Yang Fei pondered for a moment, then said, "When you return, tell Sect Master Jiang Yao killing Lu Guangyuan doesn’t need urgency. I’ve remembered his kindness; I’ll find a chance to join forces with him in the future, and it won’t be tardy to kill Lu Guangyuan then. If he acts rashly now, he might fail to kill Lu Guangyuan, and even if he succeeds, it would breach the century-long gentleman’s agreement, inviting Wangxian Sect to incite trouble, potentially bringing calamity to Lingxiao Sect. Even with Shang Qing Sect’s aid, it could plunge the Southern Domain into turmoil again, proving detrimental to the entire region."

Gan Qian and Li Yue nodded silently, acknowledging Yang Fei’s truth.

When receiving Jiang Yao’s command, they had considered this point, yet Jiang Yao insisted they convey the message, leaving them no choice.

Yang Fei continued, "I understand Sect Master Jiang Yao’s intentions. When you go back, tell him that I, Yang Fei, am personally grateful to Lingxiao Sect and Flame Moon Sect. As long as both sincerely treat Earth Cultivators and me well, Lingxiao Sect and Flame Moon Sect will surely grow stronger in the Southern Domain."

Gan Qian and Li Yue felt an intense rush in their hearts, suddenly understanding the Sect Master’s true intentions behind sending them to visit Yang Fei.

"Thank you, Taoist Yang. We will faithfully relay your words to the Sect Master." Li Yue cupped his hands said.

Yang Fei nodded, "I have pressing matters with Shang Qing Sect, so I won’t prolong our conversation. Goodbye for now, until we meet again."

"Until we meet again!"

After bidding farewell to the two, Yang Fei returned to the Spirit Ship.

"Hmph, this Jiang Yao indeed strategizes well; Lingxiao Sect has promising successors." Guanglingzi’s cold voice reached his ears, carrying hints of annoyance.
