Urban Invincible Overlord

Hu Lizhong quickly sent over the phone.

Qin Yanyang received Yang Fei's call. After learning Yang Fei's intentions, he said, "Those people have ulterior motives. Are you sure you want to recruit them?"

Yang Fei said, "You can't say they have ulterior motives. During the internal strife within the Hidden Sect, they just picked the wrong side. Most of them had no choice, being coerced by the Zhuge family, Duanmu family, and Giant Sword Manor. Now that they have surrendered and submitted to the other five families, their days are tough. Those five families won't easily trust them, so recruiting them now might actually make them grateful."

"We haven't interacted much with the Hidden Sect people, not deep enough to understand them. I'm still worried that recruiting them could become a hidden danger," Qin Yanyang said thoughtfully, reminding him.

Yang Fei said, "I have a way."

"In that case, I'll help you get in touch," Qin Yanyang said.

"Thank you, dear."

"You just woke up, and your body hasn't fully recovered. You should rest well and not think about other things," Qin Yanyang said with concern.

Yang Fei was moved and said, "It's fine. I'm idle now anyway, so doing something might be better for my body and mind."

"Alright."

After ending the call, Yang Fei thought for a moment and then dialed Zhu Tianshou's number.

Not long after, Zhu Tianshou and Wang Lei arrived.

Yang Fei said to Zhu Tianshou, "Grandfather, I need to ask you a favor."

Zhu Tianshou, seeing him and Tong Yunshu both calling him grandfather, was secretly pleased and said, "What's the matter?"

Yang Fei explained what he had just discussed with Qin Yanyang, then said, "I would like to ask Grandfather to personally make a trip to meet my biological grandfather and uncle."

Zhu Tianshou thought for a moment and said, "Is it Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Song?"

Yang Fei nodded.

Zhu Tianshou said, "It's easy for you to meet them. Just a call from Qin Yanyang, and they can be sent over quickly."

Yang Fei shook his head and said, "Grandfather, you misunderstand. I'm not asking them to come and meet me. I want you to go and contact them, asking them to help recommend some people to you."

Zhu Tianshou's pupils slightly contracted. Looking at Yang Fei, he asked, "Do I need to keep this from Qin Yanyang?"

Yang Fei nodded, "You know her personality, too selfless, too fair and just, never considering her own good. In the past, it was fine. I believed that as long as I was here, no one would dare to act recklessly, and no one would threaten Qin Yanyang's rule over the Divine Continent. But now, the situation is different."

Zhu Tianshou listened with a solemn expression and nodded silently.

Despite the current harmony between the Hidden Sect and the Divine Continent, Zhu Tianshou understood that those accustomed to power would not easily accept being subdued or being bound by secular laws. Need character sheets and glossaries? Visit MV^LEM^PYR.

No one knows whether those Hidden Sect leaders are secretly planning an uprising, waiting for the day when they can call for arms and dramatically change the course of the Divine Continent.

In this special new era, it's more believable that those people would be loyal to someone for certain benefits than to be loyal to the Divine Continent or Yanhuang.

Qin Yanyang's way of doing things commands respect from many, often mentioned in the context of justice, but in the face of absolute interests, justice means nothing.

Human nature has been tested countless times over the millennia, and rarely has it withstood the test.

"Are you confident that you can make those people loyal to you?" Zhu Tianshou asked after a moment of silence.

Yang Fei smiled and said, "What does Grandfather think?"

Zhu Tianshou paused, then laughed heartily and nodded, "Yes, the gratitude I owe you, I can't repay in this lifetime. With your ability to enhance others' strength and produce genetic liquid medicine, you definitely have enough power to earn allegiance. Human nature is selfish; with needs met and gratitude owed, they will naturally support you."

Yang Fei said, "I am dispassionate by nature and don't care much for such things, but in this special era, I must be prepared in advance for contingencies."

Zhu Tianshou nodded and said, "You're doing the right thing. Rest assured, I will set off immediately."

"Thank you, Grandfather," Yang Fei said.

Zhu Tianshou said no more and turned to leave.

Yang Fei looked at Wang Lei.

Wang Lei took the initiative to say, "Do you want me to contact those old friends?"

Yang Fei nodded, "I'm not yet clear about the current international situation, nor do I know how much those old friends understand the overseas scene, whether we can still cooperate."

Wang Lei said, "You know about Umekawa Taro, he's with the Xu Family now, along with those three in the Xu Family. Oh, and Wang Chengcuo and Luo Yong are with them too. As for Li Xuanyu, it seems she's also in Wu'an City, Jiangbei County, but I can't reach her because she's an important foreign guest. It's a sensitive time, and no one can easily contact foreign guests."

"Besides them, there's only Jones, Jie Er, and Jamie. I don't know if their families have weathered the impact of the Heavenly Entrance overseas, and what their situation is." Wang Lei said.

Yang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, the Heavenly Entrance must have affected Jones, Jie Er, and Jamie's families too. I wonder how they're doing now. Try to contact them."

Wang Lei paused, then said seriously, "Yang Fei, have you thought about it? The times are different now, everyone's situations are different. The internal forces within the Divine Continent are chaotic. I can't tell who is good or bad, and I can't promise that friends who talk and laugh with you today won't turn against you tomorrow. As for those overseas friends, I trust them even less. Even if we once experienced life and death together, the global situation is different now."

Yang Fei nodded silently and suddenly asked, "Do you believe in me?"

Wang Lei laughed heartily, "Just like you can believe in me."

Yang Fei laughed louder and continued, "So now, you don't even trust your own Wang Family?"

Wang Lei shook his head, "It's not that I don't trust them, but I know they will do whatever it takes for the family's legacy and continuation. At the beginning of this new world, to seize the most advantageous resources and positions, whether it's the Langya Wang Family, Ji Family, Qingtian Sect, Poison Sect, or Zhang Family, they won't be content with silence. They'll definitely make a move. The current quietness is because the global situation is unstable and unclear, in a special period. They are waiting and watching."

Tong Yunshu, who hadn't spoken, furrowed her brows and said solemnly, "If that's the case, wouldn't that mean the Divine Continent is going to be divided again?"

Wang Lei shook his head, "Not just the Divine Continent, but the entire world. You must believe, the ambitions of these Hidden Sect families and sects are definitely not limited to the Divine Continent alone."

Tong Yunshu said, "It can't be that easy, right? Modern weapons still pose a significant threat to them."

Wang Lei nodded, "That's right, which is why they haven't acted yet. Once they truly understand secular weapons, they'll find a way to deal with the issues. And did you forget? Previously, the early entrances of the Zhuge family, Duanmu family, and Giant Sword Manor nearly took control of the entire Divine Continent."

Tong Yunshu nodded with a serious expression.

Direct confrontation wise, those cultivation masters indeed fear the might of modern weapons, but to control a region or country, they don't need to confront directly; they just need to manipulate everything from the shadows.

Those in secular power, when facing these strong figures, have little resistance. Through controlling these power holders, it's easy to control a regime.

Yang Fei looked at Wang Lei and smiled, asking, "If that day really comes, Brother Lei, will you help me or return to your Wang Family?"
