Urban Invincible Overlord

"Dad, I feel like something's wrong here in Luzon."

The moment the call connected, a steady voice of a middle-aged man was heard on the other end.

Xu Yunshan said, "What's going on? Tell me about it."

The person on the other line was his third son, named Xu Yousheng. The Xu Family had a significant business presence in Luzon, and Xu Yousheng ran one of the most profitable ventures there, making him the main person in charge for the Xu Family in Luzon.

"Last night, several important political figures in Luzon mysteriously disappeared for a while, and a few others haven't shown up today at all. According to our informants, there seemed to be several conflicts last night, though not on a large scale, and it involved contact with cold weapons," Xu Yousheng reported.

Xu Yunshan and the others exchanged a look, all showing a change in expression.

"Besides that, the most prominent businessmen here have also disappeared. Some businessmen I've dealt with in Luzon asked around discreetly today and found out they still haven't made contact with those big business tycoons who went missing," Xu Yunshan continued.

Xu Yousheng replied, "Basically, that's it. But based on these circumstances, I speculate that a huge upheaval is brewing here in Luzon. Should our Xu Family prepare to evacuate in advance?"

Xu Yunshan snorted, "Are you really that scared of a little wind and grass rustling, wanting to flee?"

Xu Yousheng hurriedly said, "No, Dad, with the current international situation becoming more incomprehensible, and An Nan having already changed hands a few days ago, I feel like Luzon might be next. Who knows if our Xu Family will be targeted once new powers seize control here?"

Xu Yunshan reassured, "Rest assured, compared to those high-profile businessmen, our Xu Family has always been very low-key; there won't be any problems."

"Let's hope so," Xu Yousheng said with a hint of concern. "It feels like nowhere in the world is safe now; who knows what this world is turning into."

Xu Yunshan laughed, "No matter what this world turns into, as long as our Xu Family sides with the right people, we will continue to thrive, even better than before. Just keep an eye on things there, don't get scared, and don't act rashly. Just monitor the situation and use our family connections to understand what needs to be understood."

"Okay, Dad."

"Alright, that's it." Xu Yunshan hung up the call and smiled apologetically to the others, "This kid hasn't experienced any major ups and downs; he's timid and made a fool of himself in front of you all."

Wang Chengcuo hurriedly waved his hand, "My family's younger generation is even more troublesome."

Luo Yong shook his head and said, "Your son is already quite good, considering it's this peculiar era. It's understandable he's a bit anxious overseas."

Xu Liangyou said to Yang Fei, "Mr. Yang, your guess was right indeed. It seems Qingtian Sect has set its sights on Luzon."

Xu Xiao nodded, "That's right, it must be Qingtian Sect taking action. But Luzon has always been secretly supported by Heaven. How could they easily let Qingtian Sect succeed?"

Everyone nodded silently.

Heaven, using the Federation as its secular spokesperson, has deployed forces in all countries around the world, including deploying troops in countries surrounding the Divine Continent like Luzon, Korea, An Nan, and Myanmar. These forces include many secular Martial Artists cultivated by Heaven, as well as some Western exceptional fighters.

An Nan was taken by the Poison Sect after some struggles. Now that there's some commotion in Luzon, but as per Xu Yousheng's description, it's not much of a commotion.

It feels like things were done quietly and stealthily.

Yang Fei, thinking of Helian Zhan's nature, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If Qingtian Sect indeed went to Luzon, considering the combat strength of Qingtian Sect's superpowerful individuals, with Heaven's rather lax deployment, I believe Helian Zhan has the capability to secretly take over Luzon without a sound."

Everyone nodded silently.

Wang Chengcuo couldn't help but admire, "These Hidden Sect influences are truly remarkable. Even with their suppression in the Divine Continent, they didn't submit and made a new path by venturing overseas to establish their new territory. With their numbers of experts and the wealth and resources brought from the Hidden Sect, given enough time, they can surely establish a solid foundation in new places."

The Xu Family members and Luo Yong also nodded in agreement.

Trying to claim territories overseas or even in a foreign country, the Xu Family had attempted such things in earlier years, but they lacked the capability to make it a reality.

Perhaps, after several generations of effort, the Xu Family might have a chance, but it hasn't happened yet.

Now, once these forces from the Hidden Sect World venture out, they each claim territories as kings. With such foundations, it's no wonder they have the courage to challenge the Divine Continent.

Without deploying nuclear weapons for suppression, it's really hard to deal with such forces.

Fortunately, with the efforts of Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang in strengthening the Military Department, they and others were promoted and heavily used.

From what they saw of Yunwu Mountain's Base today, given enough time, they believe the Divine Continent will cultivate more and more Martial Artists. In time, the Divine Continent will surely become the world's strongest entity.

As long as large-scale nuclear weapons are not used, hot weapons might not pose any substantial threat to powerful Martial Artists in the world to come.

The entire world's structure is set to change totally. Thanks for reading—brought to you by M|VL|EMPYR.

In the future, the true leaders of this world will definitely be powerful Cultivators.

The three of the Xu Family, along with Wang Chengcuo and Luo Yong, were admiring sects like the Poison Sect and Qingtian Sect for being so powerful abroad, but Yang Fei, with a frown, showed deep concern in his expression.

He said, "It's relatively good for the Divine Continent that the Hidden Sect influences venture overseas. But have you considered that Heaven and the Penglai Realm couldn't destroy the Hidden Sect before because all eight forces were in the Small World, united at critical moments to face external threats. Yet now, they're scattered everywhere. If Heaven and Penglai Realm take them down one by one, can they hold their ground?"

This comment caused Xu Yunshan and the others' expressions to change dramatically.

Li Xuanyu was also startled, saying, "Heaven and Penglai Realm won't just sit by and let them establish footholds in those places. While the Hidden Sect influence in the Divine Continent is fine, them leaving for overseas, and each claiming territories as kings, is a deadly risk to the Divine Continent."

She also remembered something Qin Yanyang once said.

Even if the Divine Continent helps Korea regain its country, can Korea defend itself afterward?

The reclaimed Korea might not even compare to these dispersed individual forces of the Hidden Sect like the Poison Sect and Qingtian Sect.

Even these forces might be picked off by Heaven and the Penglai Realm one by one. Without enough powerful fighters, what use is Korea's conglomerates even if they regain their country?

In the face of a dark war initiated by enemies, they might all end up sacrificing their lives in vain.

She felt a wave of immense heaviness in her heart.

The new world and new order have already quietly been established.

In this survival of the fittest, only individuals, families, or sect influences with great power will have the right to survive in the new order.

The only path for the weak is to seek shelter under those powerful forces.

With a grave expression, Yang Fei said, "You guys keep chatting, I need to step out and make a phone call."

He needed to tell Qin Yanyang about this and figure out a way to protect the Hidden Sect forces.

For now, the Hidden Sect's powers must not be taken down one by one, or the entire Divine Continent would be in danger.
