Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1273 - 1270: Gan Qian’s Plea

The total number of Foundation Establishment stage disciples in the six major cultivation forces of the Southern Domain reaches several hundred.

However, the vast majority of Foundation Establishment stage disciples are very busy, needing to carry out various tasks for their sects, and are scattered throughout the Southern Domain. Gathering them all is very difficult.

Previously, to secretly cause destruction on Earth, the Five Great Forces sent out more than forty Foundation Establishment stage disciples, and now, in just a few short days, they have brought in over seventy more Foundation Establishment stage disciples, making their overall strength quite formidable.

If more personnel are further mobilized, it will inevitably attract the attention of those cultivation forces outside the Southern Domain. If Earth Space’s secret is leaked, or the matter of the Genetic Liquid Medicine gets out, the powerful cultivation forces of the Outer Domain will surely intervene to get a share of the action.

This is something that no family in the Southern Domain would allow to happen.

Therefore, transferring this many Foundation Establishment cultivators is already the maximum limit to ensure that the spies and eavesdroppers from the Outer Domain are not alerted.

"Sect Master Jiang, to ensure a once-and-for-all solution to the Earth issue, you’d better release our disciples," Yan Wuji said to Jiang Yao.

Those thirty-one Foundation Establishment cultivators who returned from Earth are still being held by the Lingxiao Sect.

Including Dongfang Qing, who returned later, there are a total of thirty-two.

Previously, the two sides almost fell apart completely, and these people were hostages.

Now that the relationship has eased, it no longer makes sense to continue holding them.

Jiang Yao, with a bit of sincerity, nodded to Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun waved his hand, releasing those Foundation Establishment cultivators whom he had confined with the power of an array.

The released Foundation Establishment cultivators, as if granted amnesty, quickly returned to the side of their sect or family powerhouses.

Yan Wuji said, "Now there are about one hundred and ten Foundation Establishment disciples here, while there are less than thirty in the Earth Cultivation World. Even with some demon beasts assisting them, our people should not suffer any disadvantage."

Ling Shuanghua said, "So many Foundation Establishment cultivators sent over will be enough to sweep through the Earth Cultivation World. According to the previous encounters between our people and the Earth cultivators, it’s clear that the overall combat power of the Earth cultivators isn’t particularly strong. Only a portion of our people are needed to keep Yang Fei occupied, allowing others to act separately. Even through attrition, we can wear down and eliminate those thirty or so Foundation Establishment cultivators on Earth."

Jiang Yao gave a slight cough, reminding, "For now, let’s prioritize a peaceful solution. As long as the Earth Cultivation World is willing to compromise, we can still offer them a glimmer of hope for survival." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Yan Wuji said, "Indeed, let’s first appease them, let them see hope for survival, so they won’t resist so fiercely. For us, obtaining the formula for the Genetic Liquid Medicine is the most important."

Ling Shuanghua nodded.

First obtain the formula for the Genetic Liquid Medicine. Once we confirm the formula’s authenticity, each family will certainly find an opportunity to settle the accounts with those cultivators on earth for the disciples sacrificed there this time.

It was when the one hundred thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators were preparing to head to Earth again.

A sudden wave came from the entrance of the Transmission Channel.

Everyone’s expression changed, and they all looked toward it.

They saw a Spirit Boat crossing over.

On the Spirit Boat were Gan Qian and Linglong.

Situ Yao was Gan Qian’s master. Seeing this disciple, who had stayed on Earth and hadn’t returned for several years, appear again, Situ Yao frowned slightly and flashed to Gan Qian’s side with a shout, "Gan Qian, you finally decided to come back, did you?"

Seeing his master, Gan Qian hurriedly knelt and saluted with respect, "Master, your disciple Gan Qian pays his respects to you."

Although Situ Yao had many disciples, Gan Qian was the last to enter the school and had superior talent and aptitude, so he was quite fond of Gan Qian.

Now, seeing this disciple bowing to him, he felt a bit soft-hearted, but in front of so many people, he maintained a stern face and scolded, "Am I still your master? Is your heart still with the Lingxiao Sect?"

Gan Qian hastily said, "Disciple was selected by the Lingxiao Sect at an early age, trained under its grace to have today. Lingxiao Sect has long been the only sect of mine in the Cultivation World, it’s my home, and I dare not have a second thought?"

Situ Yao was about to continue when Jiang Yao scolded, "Is this the time to talk about such things? Gan Qian, Linglong, what mission are you two on, returning at this time?"

Gan Qian quickly replied, "Replying to Sect Master, we were sent back by Yang Fei to gather information."

Everyone was taken aback by such a direct answer.

Only to hear Gan Qian continue, "With such significant events happening, the people of the Earth Cultivation World are panic-stricken, not knowing the intent of the Southern Domain Cultivation World. In addition, the Lingxiao Sect seemed uninvolved, so he sent me back to gather some intelligence to see whether the Southern Domain is aiming for a full-scale war with Earth, or if this incident involves only the other five families and if it has nothing to do with Lingxiao Sect."

Jiang Yao’s eyes flashed sharply, "He’s so confident you two will be able to gather accurate information when you return?"

Gan Qian said, "I clearly stated to him that we may not gather precise intelligence, and even after returning, we might not make it back to Earth. But Yang Fei was very confident, he said you two would definitely send us back to report to him."

"Ha, this youngster sure is confident, how interesting," Ling Shuanghua said with a smile.

Yan Wuji also nodded, "Indeed interesting, a cultivator who just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he could lead a group of weak cultivators and keep up with our Southern Domain’s six forces’ Foundation Establishment disciples for so long, truly impressive."

Jiang Yao looked at Yan Wuji and Ling Shuanghua, "What do you two think about this matter?"

Ling Shuanghua glanced at Gan Qian and Linglong, suddenly smiled, "It seems Earth humans still fear death a lot, they actually hold high hope for the Lingxiao Sect."

Jiang Yao agreed, "Indeed. They still don’t want all the cultivation forces from the Southern Domain to turn against them completely. Otherwise, even if we can’t do anything about them for now, they would forever be trapped on Earth, never to emerge."

And at this moment, Gan Qian looked at Jiang Yao and asked, "Sect Master, regarding the current attack on Earth, did the Lingxiao Sect have prior knowledge? Did they participate?"

Situ Yao’s expression changed, snapping, "Rebellious disciple, how dare you talk to the Sect Master like that?"

Jiang Yao laughed heartily and waved, "Don’t frighten this young one."

He looked at Gan Qian approvingly, "Indeed, the Lingxiao Sect had no participation or knowledge beforehand. However, now that I know everything, considering the big picture, the Lingxiao Sect has no choice but to stand on the same line as all major cultivation forces in the Southern Domain. So, go back and tell Yang Fei that our Lingxiao Sect lets him down."

Gan Qian’s heart plummeted into the abyss.

He just saw the situation on site.

The Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses of several major Southern Domain forces were all there, and gathered here were over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators. This was a determined effort to sweep the Earth Cultivation World!

Along with the soon-to-collapse Barrier Array of the Penglai Immortal Realm.

The Earth Cultivation World was truly finished.

He suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, thinking that after cultivating on Earth for many years, receiving hospitality from Yang Fei, whose Genetic Liquid Medicine had even improved his Spirit Root grade to top-grade, and Yang Fei having such trust in him. Earth’s humans were simple and sincere, having barely survived after a colossal disaster, only wishing to live well. Now they faced obliteration. With a resolute heart, he knelt before Jiang Yao with a ’thud’, and pleaded, "Sect Master, this disciple is bold, seeking a path to survival for the Earth cultivators."
