Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1266 - 1263: Insatiable Hearts

Ying Wujiu, kneeling on the ground, quickly sensed eight powerful auras approaching, and his heart stirred with hidden joy.

The sect powerhouses had finally arrived.

Judging by the numbers, he discerned it was the six Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Flame Moon Sect and the Great Dao Sect, along with the two from the Zhong and Feng families. As for the one from the He Family, it’s said that thirty years ago, he ventured to the Outer Realm seeking fortune and aiming for the Divinity Transformation Realm. Now, after thirty years, he’s vanished without a trace, his life status unknown.

Therefore, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators currently arriving were indeed all the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses the six major cultivation sects from the Southern Domain could muster.

With eight on their side and only three from the Lingxiao Sect, his life was saved today.

Soon, the eight powerhouses arrived nearby.

They tore through the void, their speed not instant teleportation but surpassing the sound barrier. Thunderous void-breaking sounds resonated, powerful and overwhelming, causing not only ordinary people but also some of the weaker Core Formation masters present to feel their state of mind surge with awe and apprehension.

"Hahaha, so the three Daoist friends from the Lingxiao Sect are indeed here."

The laugh of the Great Dao Sect’s Sect Master, Yan Wuji, was the first to ring out.

The three Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses from the Lingxiao Sect sent out their divine sense, seeing Yan Wuji leading the way, followed by Ling Shuanghua. Behind them were the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Great Dao Sect, Flame Moon Sect, Feng, and Zhong families, all assembled.

Jiang Yao stood with his hands behind his back, looking up into the distant void, his expression stern and unmoved, betraying no emotion.

Jiang Jun and Hai Lingfeng, though worried inwardly, similarly showed no trace of fear on their faces. The three Core Formation masters guarding the place from the Lingxiao Sect also maintained a solemn expression, with no one showing cowardice.

Rustle... rustle... rustle...

Gale winds raged, and eight figures appeared one after another on the scene like phantoms.

Yan Wuji glanced at Ying Wujiu and smiled at Jiang Yao, "I wonder what offense Ying Wujiu has committed against the Daoist friends of the Lingxiao Sect to be punished to kneel here?"

Jiang Yao calmly replied, "He and Li Yang from the Flame Moon Sect led numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators to wreak havoc in the Earth World. When I questioned the two of them, their attitudes were arrogant, so I slightly intervened to issue a small punishment. I trust Mr. Yan won’t mind?"

Yan Wuji’s smile faded significantly, and he looked at Jiang Yao with unfriendly eyes, "Ying Wujiu was acting on my orders. If his actions offended Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang could have informed me directly. My Great Dao Sect has its own rules to punish our disciples, it’s not up to you, Lingxiao Sect, to discipline them, no?"

Kneeling on the ground, Ying Wujiu was almost moved to tears.

Since his master died in battle, he lost his greatest backing in the Great Dao Sect and lived the worst among his peers.

Now, the sect master publicly stood up for him when he was wronged, naturally making him feel touched.

Though he understood that Yan Wuji’s actions were more about preserving the Great Dao Sect’s reputation, he couldn’t help but feel moved as it involved him.

"What about my disciple Li Yang?"

Xiao Yue Fairy from the Flame Moon Sect asked Jiang Yao with a hard expression.

Jiang Yao replied blandly, "Ran away."

The eight Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who came were all taken aback.

Ran away?

Then Xiao Yue Fairy laughed mockingly, "It’s rumored that Sect Master Jiang has the strength to strive for Divinity Transformation. Yet, my disciple, with only middle stage Core Formation cultivation, managed to escape right from under your nose. Haha..."

Jiang Yao couldn’t fail to hear the sarcasm in her words but placed no weight on it, replying indifferently, "Even with a Space Divine Talisman, her escape from me was indeed normal."

Xiao Yue Fairy’s expression drastically changed.

The other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were slightly moved.

Utilizing a Space Divine Talisman meant the situation for Li Yang was very dire.

Xiao Yue Fairy glared angrily at Jiang Yao, "Jiang Yao, could it be you intended to kill my disciple? Otherwise, why would she waste a precious Space Divine Talisman?"

The value of a Space Divine Talisman was extremely high. Even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators usually only had one or two on their person.

For a Core Formation cultivator, owning a Space Divine Talisman was wealthy enough.

This kind of talisman was primarily reserved for key moments in battles against formidable enemies. Yet Jiang Yao forced Li Yang to use it here, making Xiao Yue Fairy, as Li Yang’s master, feel distressed and unfair for her disciple.

Jiang Yao ignored Xiao Yue Fairy, sweeping his gaze over Ling Shuanghua and Yan Wuji, and spoke coldly, "Regarding the cultivation resources from the Earth Space, haven’t we, the Lingxiao Sect, been generous and honorable enough to you all?"

Ling Shuanghua, Yan Wuji, and the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Feng and Zhong families wore sympathetic expressions, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Frankly speaking, though the place was near the junction of the three sects, it unquestionably belonged to Lingxiao Sect territory.

By past conventions, anything discovered in Lingxiao Sect territory belonged solely to them, and other sects couldn’t lay claim.

But after discovering the Earth Space, Lingxiao Sect was willing to share it with them, genuinely righteous. Now they sought more, spreading the word would indeed invite criticism.

Yet considering the effects of that divine medicine eliminated any traces of embarrassment from their faces.

Yan Wuji said, "Haha, surface-wise, Lingxiao Sect appears righteous. Indeed, we have appreciated the generous sharing of Lingxiao Sect these years. But face cannot see heart. To my knowledge, your Lingxiao Sect is so generous because you secretly have other deals with Earth, procuring a miraculous potion. Is it not?"

Jiang Yao and the Lingxiao Sect members felt a chill in their hearts.

Indeed, the secret was leaked.

Inside Lingxiao Sect, even in the executive levels, there might be infiltration by other sects, having a spy within.

But now wasn’t the time to track a spy.

Jiang Yao eyed Yan Wuji coldly, "Insatiable greed. By the conventions of the Cultivation World, the Earth Space within our Lingxiao Sect’s sphere is private property of Lingxiao Sect. Sharing it with you is out of consideration for being fellow cultivation sects in the Southern Domain. Yet you’re still dissatisfied. Haha, even if we obtained immense benefits from Earth, that’s the luck of Lingxiao Sect. What does it concern you?"

Hai Lingfeng spoke loudly, "Exactly, regardless of the benefits Lingxiao Sect gains from Earth, even if giving none to you, you couldn’t do anything to us. Now that we have given, yet you complain it’s not enough. Haha, truly shameless, real ungrateful wretches."

Yan Wuji, Ling Shuanghua, and the other Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses showed no shame.

One said, "Ordinary cultivation resources wouldn’t matter even if we didn’t take a single share. However, to my knowledge, that miraculous potion enables cultivators without Spirit Root Talent to develop one, and those with Spirit Roots to advance their Spirit Root Grade. Is it not?"

The Lingxiao Sect members felt utterly hopeless.

The information had truly leaked.

Jiang Yao’s facial expression remained unchanged, "And if it is so?"

Upon Jiang Yao’s direct admission, Yan Wuji and others showed excitement, with Ling Shuanghua saying outright, "If this potion is true, then it must be shared among all cultivators in the Southern Domain."
