Chapter 1755: Chapter 1752

Although Yang Fei could see that the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses from the Zhiyang Sect felt somewhat discontent, he didn’t resort to bullying them by relying on his status.

If he possessed the overpowering strength to suppress the powerhouses present, he wouldn’t mind showing off a bit. But merely borrowing the majesty of Guanglingzi to put on airs seemed unnecessary to him.

He and the many cultivators from Earth would eventually travel and train independently, so it was wise to make fewer enemies.

When traveling, it’s better to have no friends than to have too many enemies.

"Thank you all for allowing me this face," Yang Fei cupped his fists and bowed to Dong Qianjue, expressing his gratitude.

Shu Dongqing, standing behind Dong Qianjue, secretly snorted.

Who do you think you are? If you came alone, do you think we’d give you any face?

However, since the Sect Master had already expressed his attitude, it wasn’t appropriate to say more. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be disrespecting Yang Fei or even the big figures on the spirit ship in the distance, but also publicly questioning Dong Qianjue’s undisputed authority within the sect.

Most of those present quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

From the bottom of their hearts, neither the Zhiyang Sect nor the Han Family wished for this conflict to occur.

As Yang Fei mentioned, cultivation is not easy, and most cultivators don’t want to risk their lives fighting others.

The dispute today was merely for the division of the Lu Family’s territory and assets. In the eyes of most Han Family members and Zhiyang Sect disciples, this was originally a good thing. After a private agreement, dividing the Lu Family’s assets would suffice, so why resort to violence?

Yet somehow, what could have been a win-win situation developed into this.

"Taoist Yang, our two families were unable to divide the territory and assets left by the Lu Family, hence we agreed to compete first before determining the distribution ratio. Since you’ve called a halt, I’d like to ask you, in your opinion, how should our two families divide the Lu Family’s legacy?" Shu Dongqing suddenly spoke, inquiring of Yang Fei.

Yang Fei frowned.

This person has quite a temper.

He glanced at the other party and shook his head: "My intervention has only one request: that you cease fighting and make peace, so talent is not wasted on senseless conflict. As for how to divide the Lu Family’s territory and assets, you may negotiate in private, and I will not interfere."

The members from both families were in deep agreement with Yang Fei’s statement.

Seeing Yang Fei’s smooth approach, unwilling to fall for it, Shu Dongqing immediately said, "If we could negotiate privately, we wouldn’t have come to arrange a duel here. Since Taoist Yang is here to mediate, you should make a decision for us."

Yang Fei frowned, staring at the other party.

Shu Dongqing didn’t yield an inch, his sharp eyes meeting Yang Fei’s gaze, without genuine respect in his expression.

In fact, he had privately agreed with Han Tianjiao that if they could provoke a war between the two families, injuring Han Tianxing and Dong Qianjue, they could each rise to power and then join forces to swallow the Lu Family’s assets and develop together.

But he didn’t expect Cheng Yaojin to appear out of nowhere and ruin his plan, so despite Yang Fei being Wan Daorong’s direct disciple, he couldn’t help but feel displeased.

Yang Fei felt Shu Dongqing’s inexplicable hostility toward him and was puzzled.

It seemed they had only met today, no grievances or enmity, with Uncle Master Guanglingzi present, why would this person harbor hostility?

For someone cultivated to the late-stage Nascent Soul, he shouldn’t be a fool.

Initially, Yang Fei didn’t want to offend anyone, but Shu Dongqing’s words provoked anger in him. He laughed and said, "In that case, let me boldly decide for you. Both families will simply split all of the Lu Family’s territory and assets equally, with no further objections."

The members of both families silently nodded, thinking this was the best solution.

Han Tianjiao, however, frowned and said, "What you say may sound simple, but after the Lu Family leaves, it’s easy to talk about the territory left behind, but difficult to equally divide the foundational assets."

Shu Dongqing also said, "That’s right, it’s precisely because the pharmacies, mines, and other properties the Lu Family formerly occupied are difficult to evenly divide that we had a dispute. If you intervene to mediate, why not help us partition it finely, ensuring both parties feel completely fair without anyone losing out?"

Yang Fei frowned and looked at Han Tianxing and Dong Qianjue: "Do you also think this way?"

The two exchanged a glance and slowly shook their heads: "Since the Shang Qing Sect has intervened to mediate, we can settle this through private negotiation."

Yang Fei nodded, but his gaze turned cold as he looked at Shu Dongqing, "So, you can resolve this issue privately, but you’re the only one who resents the Shang Qing Sect’s intervention, is that correct?"

Shu Dongqing’s expression became tense, quickly denying: "Don’t talk nonsense, I, Shu Dongqing, would never dare to express any dissatisfaction with the Upper Sect’s decision."

Yang Fei laughed, but it was a colder laugh: "So it seems, you’re only dissatisfied with me, Yang Fei, coming out to mediate, because you think my cultivation level is low and unqualified to be a peacemaker, right?"

Though Shu Dongqing had such thoughts, he wouldn’t openly admit it, and he was just annoyed by Yang Fei’s sudden appearance disrupting his and Han Tianjiao’s plan to seize power during this opportunity.

Privately, he couldn’t really afford to offend Yang Fei, a direct disciple of Wan Daorong.

Hearing Yang Fei coldly speak such words in public, Shu Dongqing couldn’t help but regret it, while also feeling anger.

After all, despite being a late-stage Nascent Soul expert, a junior like you is merely relying on your identity as a disciple of the Shang Qing Sect to pressure me?

Where should my dignity go?

Yet, sensing the terrifying aura from the distant spirit ship, Shu Dongqing ultimately endured, giving a light snort: "These are your words, I have no such intention."

Yang Fei’s figure suddenly shifted, using Talisman Teleportation, he arrived within thirty meters of Shu Dongqing and Dong Qianjue.

Dong Qianjue and Shu Dongqing’s expressions changed.

In the distance, Han Tianxing and Han Tianjiao, along with all the Han Family and Zhiyang Sect cultivators present, were startled, showing looks of shock.

Even though Han Dachun already knew that Yang Fei could teleport, he was still surprised because compared to a few years ago, Yang Fei’s teleportation distance was longer, and his movements were more mysterious.

He has grown so quickly!

As for the others, they were truly shocked by the technique Yang Fei displayed.

Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses can teleport short distances, but Yang Fei, with only late-stage Core Formation strength, could achieve effects similar to an early stage Nascent Soul powerhouse’s teleportation, how could this not be astonishing?

No wonder Master Wan took him as a closed-door disciple, this young man is indeed extraordinarily gifted.

Shu Dongqing’s displeasure dissipated by more than half.

Though Yang Fei couldn’t pose any threat to him yet, with Yang Fei backing Shang Qing Sect and having Wan Daorong as his master, his potential was limitless. If he truly offended Yang Fei, even if he succeeded in calculating against Dong Qianjue and became the Zhiyang Sect’s Sect Master, he wouldn’t see good days ahead.

His mind quickly calculated, and Shu Dongqing promptly stood, smiling at Yang Fei, cupping his hands: "Taoist Yang, don’t be hasty. Since you’ve spoken, our two families will certainly resolve this peacefully without causing you difficulty."
