Urban Invincible Overlord

Holding Qin Yanyang's hand, Yang Fei walked toward the bodies of Xu Yingluo, Daoist Pei, Meng Qian, and Nan Liren.

After checking them one by one, a hint of confusion flashed across Yang Fei's face.

Qin Yanyang sneaked a peek at his expression and, feeling a sudden movement in her heart, asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, just something strange," Yang Fei replied.

Out of curiosity, Qin Yanyang asked, "What's strange? Can you tell anything from their bodies?"

Yang Fei said, "These people died very quickly, all killed by a domineering True Qi. It's somewhat similar to my methods."

Qin Yanyang pursed her lips and said, "It's just the two of us here. They came specifically for you. If you didn't kill them, who did? Could someone be protecting you in secret?"

Yang Fei's eyes lit up upon hearing this but then immediately dimmed.

Her words reminded him that he indeed had wondered who might be protecting him in secret.

The one capable of protecting him would definitely be that elusive mentor of his.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

His master seldom meddled in his affairs. During those years of struggle overseas, he had faced countless dangers without ever seeing his master intervene; it's unlikely his master would be protecting him secretly now.

The deaths of these people might well have been his own doing.

After all, his loss of control was merely an inability to tame the raging True Qi within his body, causing unbearable pain and the loss of his reason.

If someone approached him while he was out of control, he might instinctively react in self-defense, thus annihilating these people.

Qin Yanyang didn't want him to continue down that path of thought and asked, "What do we do now? Should we go back?"

Yang Fei thought for a moment and pulled out his phone.

He first called Xu Xingzhou to inquire if anything had happened on his cousin's end.

Upon learning that there had been no disturbances, Yang Fei said, "Just have Xu Mao keep watch there. You and Zhang Long come to Yun Mountain. Bring a few people to handle some matters."

"Understood," Xu Xingzhou replied respectfully.

While waiting, Yang Fei apologized to Qin Yanyang with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry for dragging you into this because of my issues. You must have been scared, right?"

Qin Yanyang regained her usual calm composure, shook her head, and said, "Earlier, when I found so many dead bodies and you were unconscious, I was indeed very scared. But now that you're awake, I'm not too frightened anymore. Have you forgotten that my family is also a Martial Arts Family? I've seen far more gruesome scenes."

Hearing this, Yang Fei's heart stirred, recalling that Nan Liren and Xu Yingluo had seemed to be paying attention to Qin Yanyang.

It seemed that those two were targeting his wife.

However, he did not intend to tell Qin Yanyang to avoid worrying her.

Yet deep inside, he heightened his vigilance. He would have to be more careful in the future. Although she was the young mistress of the Qin Family and most would not dare to confront her, if someone did decide to do so, they would send such formidable experts.

Suddenly, Yang Fei felt more pressure within him.

Since he had married her and they were trying to accept each other, he was responsible for her safety.

Fortunately, since being with her, his fortune had started to improve, and his combat strength had recovered to around fifty percent. If he encountered such a situation again, he was confident he could resolve it with ease.

Qin Yanyang knew full well that Xu Yingluo and Nan Liren had come for her, but instead, it was Yang Fei who got entangled in it. Otherwise, with the forces the Wang and Yan families had deployed that day, Yang Fei should have easily handled it.

Previously, Yang Fei had even asked Nan Liren about their intentions, and he saw that they were targeting her. Now that Yang Fei wasn't bringing it up, it was clear he didn't want her to worry.

She felt touched and a little amused, so she pretended to be oblivious and said to Yang Fei, "Why would they want to come after you? Is there some kind of grudge?"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Fei did not keep it from Qin Yanyang and explained the feud between the Situ family and the Wang family.

As for why the Yan Family got involved, he briefly mentioned it as well.

Qin Yanyang frowned and asked, "The Wang Family from Provincial City? Why would Wang Wenxuan target you? Do you have a feud with him?"

Clearing his throat, Yang Fei said, "Who knows? I certainly haven't provoked them."

He actually understood that all of this was because of Zhang Family's second son, Zhang Yunqing, but due to his own limited strength, and knowing that the Zhang Family was not to be trifled with, he could only choose to endure in silence, thinking that once his power was restored, no matter how strong the Zhang Family was, he would not rest until Zhang Yunqing was wiped out.

As for now, he could not possibly tell Qin Yanyang the truth.

Qin Yanyang thought for a moment and said, "Yang Fei, since this matter has involved me as well, I will have my family resolve it. Moreover, it's not a solution for you to keep fighting with them like this. Right now you haven't suffered any losses; in fact, they have lost quite a few people. So here's what we'll do: I'll have my family step in and settle this matter once and for all."

When Yang Fei heard her say this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "I can handle my own affairs, and besides, your family looks down on me. Now to have them deal with this kind of thing for me, it's not right." Spot an error? Visit the original post on M&VLEMPY&R.

Qin Yanyang smiled and said, "Is this the pride of a man?"

Yang Fei looked at her, nodded, and said, "You could say that."

Qin Yanyang hummed in acknowledgment and said, "I understand. But I am the young lady of the Qin Family. They may deal with you, but they can't lay a finger on me. Besides, dragging this matter out isn't going to solve anything; it needs to be resolved once and for all. That's settled then; I'll handle it."

Yang Fei was about to argue further but saw Qin Yanyang looking at him with determination, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of amusement.

Yang Fei sighed his inner energy.

Her pride and dominance were showing again.

If he objected now, she would probably be unhappy.

Their relationship was just getting good; he couldn't risk upsetting her over something so trivial.

So Yang Fei nodded and said, "Alright, you handle it. If it can't be resolved, then I'll go to them."

To him, whether it was the Wang Family or the Yan Family, it was all trivial.

"Don't worry, I won't let my family intervene directly. I just need to reveal my identity, and the Wang and Yan Families won't dare to pursue this matter any further unless they no longer wish to stay in the country," Qin Yanyang added to Yang Fei.

Yang Fei felt a warmth in his heart; she was still taking his pride into account.

About half an hour later, Xu Xingzhou and Zhang Long arrived. When they saw the corpses scattered all over the ground, Xu Xingzhou didn't have much of a reaction, but the corners of Zhang Long's mouth twitched fiercely.

He knew that he had work to do.

He was happy to be able to alleviate Mr. Yang's troubles.

But why did he feel like crying?

Mr. Yang, apart from taking care of such minor matters as disposing of bodies, I, Zhang Long, do have some skills and can help you with much more.

"Xu Yingluo!"

Just then, a cry of surprise came from Xu Xingzhou's mouth.

Zhang Long jumped in fright, walked over, and examined the body that had shocked Xu Xingzhou, asking with confusion, "Do you know him?"

But Xu Xingzhou's heart was already in turmoil.

This was a member of his Xu Family.

A true expert of the Xu Family who ranked in the top ten, and a deliberate chess piece the Xu Family had placed within Shadow, important to the Xu Family's plans.

And now, he was dead!

Xu Xingzhou gasped, his entire body trembling as he slowly turned to look at Yang Fei and said with difficulty, "Mr. Yang... Did you... did you kill all these people?"

Yang Fei didn't deny it: "Yes. Why, do you know this person?"

Xu Xingzhou's trembling grew worse. He looked at Yang Fei in disbelief and muttered, "Is it... really?"

It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but it was just too far beyond what he had expected.

Xu Yingluo was an elder of the clan with a distinguished status in the Xu Family.

Moreover, the man was powerful, having reached the Energy Transformation Seventh Rank.

Yang Fei had actually managed to kill him?
