Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1513 - 1510: Compromise

Yan Xihua’s words made Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang frown immediately.

Before Yang Fei could answer, Sun Xingyu said, "Impossible. The Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass is crucial for treating Li Xuanyu. It’s hard to come across even one. If we return it to the Mu Family, where will we find it when Li Xuanyu needs treatment?"

Yang Fei nodded and said, "Old Sun is right. We may be temporarily trapped here, but at worst, I owe Brother Shen another favor to escort me back to the Shang Qing Sect."

Yan Xihua sighed, "I know you value loyalty, but can you let me finish first?"

Sun Xingyu said, "In short, it’s impossible to return the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass to the Mu Family, so there’s no point in saying anything further."

Yan Xihua glared at him, "Can’t you let me finish? What I mean is, temporarily give this Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass to the Mu Family, let me mediate, and resolve the enmity between Yang Fei’s family and the Mu Family first. Otherwise, having such a powerful enemy like the Mu Family in the Southern Domain is very dangerous."

Yang Fei shook his head, about to object, but then saw Qin Yanyang grab his arm, shaking her head at him, and then said to Yan Xihua, "Sister Yan’s meaning is that even though the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass is precious and rare, you have a way to find it, is that right?"

Yan Xihua nodded, "Yes. Although the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass is rare, it’s not extinct. As far as I know, there’s a prominent figure in Beiyu who cultivates this precious Immortal Herb. However, it’s difficult to exchange it from him, and it’s uncertain if the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass he cultivates is mature and usable."

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were secretly shocked, not expecting Yan Xihua to know about someone in Beiyu cultivating the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass.

Sun Xingyu frowned and said, "Li Xuanyu’s time is limited. Can we wait that long? What if the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass you’re aware of from that strong figure isn’t mature yet by then?"

Yang Fei shared this concern and nodded, "Yes, acquiring this Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass was a huge stroke of luck, almost like it was meant to be. Moreover, I didn’t directly snatch it from a Mu Family member, so how can there be talk of returning it to the Mu Family?"

Seeing his obstinacy and reluctance to return the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass to the Mu Family, Yan Xihua frowned and sighed, "If you insist, I can’t resolve the enmity between you and them. Although I’m not afraid of the Mu Family, and they are wary of the power behind me and wouldn’t want to completely fall out with my West Phoenix Valley, to retrieve the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass and save their top powerhouse, they’ll definitely act against you. Even if I want to protect you, it would be a surface gesture. Once you leave West Phoenix Valley, given the enmity from killing so many Mu Family members, they won’t let you off easily. I’ve said enough. You decide what to do."

Yang Fei remained silent.

Sun Xingyu looked worried and anxious.

Qin Yanyang slightly arched her delicate eyebrows and asked Yan Xihua, "Sister Yan, isn’t the Mu Family so powerful that even the Shen Family and Shang Qing Sect won’t stand up to them?"

Yan Xihua smiled slightly and said, "Sister’s meaning is that with Yang Fei’s connections to the Shen Family and Shang Qing Sect, along with the Genetic Liquid Medicine, they could suppress the Mu Family, right?"

Qin Yanyang nodded, "Is it not possible?"

Yan Xihua shook her head, "Sister underestimates the complexity of the Cultivation World. It’s true that strength is respected in the Cultivation World, but any sect that can stand in it isn’t simple.

The Mu Family, although just a Cultivation Family, is one of the top Cultivation Families in the Southern Domain. They have three Divinity Transformation Realm Masters. Even if Shang Qing Sect can suppress the Mu Family, a battle would mean a heavy cost. At that time, Wangxian Sect would intervene to carve up Shang Qing Sect’s interests.

So Shang Qing Sect would never take such a risk. Even with the Shen Family’s cooperation, they wouldn’t dare, because Wangxian Sect would intervene, unwilling to see those two sects grow after sharing the Mu Family and becoming a threat to Wangxian Sect’s position."

She paused for a moment and smiled, "Even I wouldn’t want Shang Qing Sect and the Shen Family to crush the Mu Family because if the Mu Family falls, my West Phoenix Valley becomes more vulnerable. Every force that can dominate in the Cultivation World can’t be underestimated. If disputes become too large, higher-ups will mediate to maintain the balance of power."

Qin Yanyang understood, "In summary, the Martial Arts World isn’t about fighting and killing, it’s about human nature."

Yan Xihua, hearing this for the first time, chuckled and praised, "Sister summarized it well, straight to the point."

Yang Fei frowned, "So, the Mu Family will definitely want to take back the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass, right?"

Yan Xihua nodded, "Their Divinity Transformation Realm Master’s life hangs by a thread and only this Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass can cure him. If you were in the Mu Family’s high position, what would you do?"

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang’s hearts sank.

For a super Cultivation Family like the Mu Family, familial heritage is most important, and in the survival of the fittest Cultivation World, the stability and long-lasting heritage of a family depend on talent.

The significance of a Divinity Transformation Realm Master’s existence is clear without thinking, so the Mu Family will use any means necessary to retrieve this Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass.

Qin Yanyang glanced at Yang Fei, saying nothing.

For Yang Fei’s safety, she wanted to persuade him to return the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass to the Mu Family.

But anyone else could say this, except her.

Because it concerns saving Li Xuanyu’s life.

"At worst, we hide back on Earth to avoid confrontation." After a moment, Sun Xingyu gritted his teeth and said.

Yang Fei remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Qin Yanyang waited quietly, and Sun Xingyu looked at him anxiously.

Yan Xihua had said enough and couldn’t offer more.

A moment later, Yang Fei suddenly looked up at Yan Xihua and asked, "Immortal Yan, can you assure us you’ll find another Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass within a hundred years?"

Yan Xihua pondered slightly and nodded, "Within a hundred years, it should be possible. After all, the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass isn’t extinct, and the strong figure in Beiyu I mentioned has it. However, exchanging it from him will require some cost, and I can’t guarantee the one he has is mature and matches the effectiveness of the one you have."

Yang Fei silently tightened his fist and said, "Then... return it to the Mu Family."

Yan Xihua nodded approvingly and said, "Only those who can bend and stretch are true heroes. You’ve made the wisest choice."

Sun Xingyu snorted lightly, clenching his fists in frustration.

In the end, it’s their own weakness!

What a damn frustration.
