Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1466 - 1463: Shang Heng’s Awakening

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace has already been sent back to the White Jade City on Earth by Yang Fei, and is not with him now; therefore, he has no way to show it to everyone here.

Besides, even if he didn’t need to send the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace back to the White Jade City, he wouldn’t dare to take it out now.

Previously, he had no choice but to reveal the secret of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace to suppress and release Wang Xingpeng.

With so many powerful experts present, all showing immense interest in the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, how could he dare to take it out lightly?

After all, he’s a closed-door disciple of Wan Daorong, and these experts have prestigious reputations in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, so as long as he doesn’t take it out, they wouldn’t resort to blatant robbery, would they?

Yang Fei bets they still care about their face.

He then said, "Esteemed seniors, what I used earlier was indeed the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, but this item is temporarily beyond my control. After each use, I need to employ special secret techniques to seal it, and only when the bloodthirsty demon nature on it is suppressed do I dare to bring it out again. If you are interested in this item, you can wait for a while; during this period, I’ve been following my master to cultivate by his side, and when the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace can be displayed again, I will surely notify you all to come and view it."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Who present is not an elite expert of the Southern Domain Cultivation World?

A mid-stage Core Formation cultivator like you can use such an ancient magical treasure, no matter how extraordinary and evil it is, there’s no way we cannot use it, right?

Everyone knew this was Yang Fei’s excuse to avoid displaying the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

Someone was immediately dissatisfied and snorted coldly.

"Do you think, given our status and position, we would covet your magical treasure?"

"Indeed, it is overly stingy. As your elders, we are only concerned that keeping such an evil treasure by your side will bring you great trouble. We’re merely offering to inspect it, and you suspect us of ulterior motives?"

"If this item is truly the legendary Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, keeping it by your side will do you no good. Not to mention that it might affect your own cultivation, leading to heart demon invasion and disturbing your Dao Heart. Just the news of this alone would attract all those evil cultivators outside. You’re holding a crime due to wealth."

"Yes, yes, such an evil object should be handed over to the Sect, allowing the Sect’s experts to suppress and manage it for stability."

"If it were to be seized by powerful evil cultivators outside, it might cause a bloody storm in the Cultivation World again."

In an instant, everyone was discussing fervently.

It seemed like they were concerned about Yang Fei for his own good, but in reality, they all thought Yang Fei’s strength was too weak. If that Bronze Furnace really was the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, he was not qualified to own such a formidable magical treasure.

Yang Fei secretly sneered, his gaze sweeping over Wan Daorong, Shen Wanjing, and Li Shuya.

Wan Daorong wore an angry expression, his face grimly scanning those fellow senior brothers who were speaking.

Shen Wanjing smiled, a faint mocking expression seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes, as if viewing a spectacle.

Li Shuya slightly frowned, appearing somewhat anxious, whether worried about his own safety or concerned that if something happened to Yang Fei, the promised genetic liquid medicine would not be obtained.

"I appreciate my fellow brothers and sisters worrying about my disciple. Since he is my disciple and stays by my side, I am naturally obliged to safeguard his safety. As for whether the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace is an evil treasure, as his master, I will discern that myself, so there’s no need to trouble everyone."

Wan Daorong secretly snorted, cupping his hands toward the Shang Qing Sect cultivators around him, and said, "Thank you all for the righteous words today, preserving the reputation and bottom line of our Shang Qing Sect over hundreds of thousands of years. Our Tian Nan Peak has several distinguished guests today, so I apologize for not being able to entertain all my brothers and sisters."

Although Guanglingzi was very curious about the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, upon seeing Yang Fei unwilling to take it out and Wan Daorong shielding him, he chuckled, first offering Wan Daorong a favor, "Haha, today’s matter was merely a little effort, something we should naturally do. Senior Brother Wan is right; since the founding of Shang Qing Sect, it has always been a reputable major sect in the Cultivation World. As pivotal members of Shang Qing Sect, we naturally have to defend its reputation. As for that magical treasure of Junior Nephew Yang Fei, hehe, we can observe it next time."

Guanglingzi stood on Wan Daorong’s side in today’s matter; the old grudge between him and the couple, Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi, Wang Yuanxiao and his wife certainly haven’t forgotten, so he must now support Wan Daorong.

Upon seeing Guanglingzi’s words, Xiao Shuhui nodded, "What Senior Brother Guanglingzi said is indeed right. Fellow brothers and sisters, since Senior Brother Wan has honored guests, let’s withdraw first."

Upon seeing Guanglingzi and Xiao Shuhui, both Divinity Transformation Realm masters, express their views, although many were displeased, wishing to gain a good understanding of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace right now, it was hard to say more.

The smarter ones quickly echoed their sentiments.

Even if Yang Fei took out the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, with so many powerful experts present, only the majority with late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation among the Shang Qing Sect experts believed they’d have no chance at it.

Shen Wanjing had the greatest opportunity.

Therefore, letting the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace remain with Yang Fei would be the best outcome.

If Shen Wanjing wanted to seize it, it would mean becoming an enemy of the entire Shang Qing Sect, something he probably wouldn’t do.

Guanglingzi and Xiao Shuhui led the others in leaving, and soon, the rest of the Shang Qing Sect members departed.

In the field, only Wan Daorong, Shang Heng, Yang Fei, Tong Yunshu, Lu Qingyue, and the two guests, Shen Wanjing and Li Shuya, remained.

Wan Daorong calmly cupped his hands towards Shen Wanjing and Li Shuya, "Family Head Shen, Mr. Li, you are esteemed guests from afar; this place is too simple. Please move to the main hall at our Tian Nan Peak’s main peak, where I, Wan, can fulfill the host’s duty."

Shen Wanjing chuckled, waved his hand, and said, "No need for formalities, Master Wan. I find this place quite satisfactory, and I’m here particularly to visit Junior Brother Yang Fei this time."

Li Shuya’s expression changed, looking at Shen Wanjing speechlessly.

Junior Brother Yang Fei?

Damn it...

Li Shuya only felt his head buzzing.

Given Shen Wanjing’s stature, even figures like Wan Daorong and Wang Yuanxiao of the Shang Qing Sect would have to show him some respect, with only the strongest Sect Master of the Shang Qing Sect able to stand on equal footing with him.

In the entire Southern Domain Cultivation World, Shen Wanjing definitely ranks among the top three big figures.

Moreover, given the immense wealth of the Shen Family, Shen Wanjing’s prestige and influence in the Southern Domain Cultivation World are even greater than those of the other two.

Especially outside the Southern Domain, where the Shen Family’s influence is widespread, Shen Wanjing’s reputation is indeed more illustrious.

Such an immensely influential figure addressing Yang Fei as a fellow brother? If not witnessed firsthand and heard personally, Li Shuya absolutely wouldn’t have believed this scene.

Wasn’t it just during the return to the Shang Qing Sect that Wan Daorong brought Yang Fei to the Shen Family for a brief stay? Within just that mere acquaintance, this youngster managed to earn such special treatment from Shen Wanjing?

Li Shuya wasn’t the only one shocked; Shang Heng and Lu Qingyue were also stunned, left speechless by the shock.

Shang Heng especially felt his scalp tingling, cold sweat soaking his back.

Regardless of Shen Wanjing’s motive for befriending Yang Fei, the fact that he referred to Yang Fei as a fellow brother already made him a mighty backing for Yang Fei.

Having previously harbored wrongful thoughts was utterly inappropriate; he must establish a good relationship with this Junior Brother.

If the master truly wishes to pass down Tian Nan Peak’s legacy to this Junior Brother, he must wholeheartedly support him.

Wait, earlier I was a bit late, but it was indeed due to something holding me up momentarily, not intentional; I’ll need to privately explain this matter clearly to my master later.
