Chapter 905: Refusal to Return
Outside, Yang Fei dialed Qin Yanyang's number with a serious expression.
The call was disconnected, but it was called back shortly after.
Qin Yanyang asked, "Husband, what's the matter?"
Yang Fei relayed the recent information to Qin Yanyang and voiced his concerns: "I fear Heaven and the Penglai Realm might directly target the Poison Sect and Qingtian Sect, and annihilate them first."
Qin Yanyang replied, "Husband, your most important task right now is to quickly recover your strength. Don't worry about anything else."
Yang Fei expressed his concern, "I see how tired you are every day; I want to help you."
"Hmm, I understand. I already knew about what you mentioned." Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei was taken aback, "You already knew?"
Qin Yanyang said, "Indeed, I knew. Or do you think our Divine Continent, a great nation's intelligence agency, is inferior to the Xu Family?"
Yang Fei slapped his forehead.
Right.
We underestimated the intelligence agency of a superpower.
If even the Xu Family could know about it, how could such a nation as the Divine Continent not know?
We naively believed that martial arts people got news faster than formal intelligence departments, not knowing that these so-called martial arts forces might be supported by some superpower behind the scenes.
I was too shallow!
Yang Fei coughed dryly and said, "Wife, do you think I'm funny?"
"No, not at all. What you did touched me." Qin Yanyang quickly said, her tone gentle. This content was first released on MV_LEMPYR.
Yang Fei grunted and said, "Alright, since you know everything, I won't worry unnecessarily. But how do you think we should prevent this? Are we really going to watch Heaven and the Penglai Realm pick off the Hidden Sect forces one by one?"
Qin Yanyang snorted coldly, "They brought it upon themselves. Let Heaven and the Penglai Realm teach them a lesson, let them understand that their strength is insignificant compared to the Heaven and Penglai Realm, which have modern strong nations as a foundation."
Yang Fei was also annoyed with the arrogant members of the Hidden Sect and said, "Yes, it's best if they suffer a crushing defeat and come back begging us, which would be beneficial for the Divine Continent's control over them."
Qin Yanyang said, "If those Hidden Sect forces could unite and expand new territories for the Yanhuang Nation, it would be a good thing, and they could be successful. But unfortunately, they are all too haughty and reluctant to submit to one another, each wanting to be king in their own domains.
They don't understand that once they are dispersed, their power is too weak. Heaven and the Penglai Realm don't even need to team up to break them one by one.
The most important thing is, as long as their location is pinpointed, Heaven and the Penglai Realm's modern military power is enough to target and destroy them. These people are so arrogant and have too shallow an understanding of modern technological power."
Yang Fei felt the same but was still a bit worried, asking, "These guys indeed need to be taken down a peg, but we can't just sit back and watch them get annihilated, right? If the Hidden Sect forces are destroyed one by one, it would be detrimental to the grand situation of the Divine Continent."
"I know, we are closely monitoring their every move, and we'll do our best to secretly support and assist them." Qin Yanyang said.
Hearing this from her, Yang Fei felt much more at ease and secretly proud, praising, "Not bad, my wife has everything under control; I was worrying for nothing."
"Hmph, don't put me on a pedestal. Human capabilities are limited, and I'm not that powerful. Furthermore, these Hidden Sect individuals are smart; although they've left the Divine Continent, they've settled in countries surrounding the Divine Continent, making it easier for us to protect them.
However, this isn't a long-term strategy, and it's difficult to expect those conceited folks of the Hidden Sect to commit entirely to the greater cause of the Divine Continent. It's better that we grow strong ourselves.
Husband, don't let these matters distract you. You just need to focus on restoring your Realm cultivation, and create more spiritual elixirs at Yunwu Mountain's Base, nurturing more strong defenders faithful to the Divine Continent and Yanhuang, which is the real foundation for the Divine Continent to reign globally in the future."
Qin Yanyang said, "As for the other matters, leave them to me for now, and you don't need to worry about them."
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Alright, since you put it that way, I feel relieved and know what should be prioritized next."
"Hmm, I will also gradually delegate many tasks so that I'll be much more relaxed, and then I can accompany you for cultivation." Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei's eyes brightened, saying, "Great, as long as you aren't tied down by mundane matters, when I restore my full strength, your Cultivation Realm will certainly progress. By then, with both of us working together, there's no place we can't venture."
"Hmm, I think the same way. Rather than waiting for Heaven and the Penglai Realm to launch a dark war, it's better if we take the initiative. I've been very tense during this period, guarding against the possibility of a dark war from Heaven and the Penglai Realm when the Divine Continent is shaken by the Hidden Sect's impact. But now, it seems Heaven and the Penglai Realm's relationship isn't as close as we imagined since they've delayed making a move. However, this is better; what we need now is time."
Yang Fei nodded and said, "You're right. Don't worry, I will recover quickly and help nurture more outstanding strong defenders for the Divine Continent."
"Hmm, I believe in you. As long as we, husband and wife, join forces, there's nothing in this world we cannot achieve." Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei was also filled with high spirits, saying, "Indeed, we are invincible together."
After ending the call, Yang Fei returned to the room and told everyone, "My wife was already informed of the situation and has arrangements in place, so we need not worry. She won't let the Hidden Sect's forces be wiped out one by one. But those arrogant Hidden Sect folks do need a lesson from Heaven and the Penglai Realm to make them understand their place."
Everyone was moved by Yang Fei's words.
Especially the few from the Xu Family, who thought they had first-hand intelligence, not realising Qin Yanyang was already aware of everything.
Indeed, compared to a superpower, even the Xu Family, deeply entrenched overseas for generations, was insignificant.
Everyone couldn't help but recall the scenes from over a month ago.
Back then, the Divine Continent faced the surrounding pressure of allied forces from various countries, not only unafraid but also launching a counterattack, repelling the allied forces with the might of one nation.
The current Divine Continent was no longer the weak nation of a hundred years ago but a superpower capable of dragging countries globally to the grave with absolute power.
In Wu'an City, the Divine Continent's temporary supreme command center.
Just as Qin Yanyang hung up the phone, the deputy from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hurried over.
"Minister Qin, there's trouble."
Qin Yanyang frowned, "What is it?"
"There's an issue with the Sun Never Sets' agreement to compensate and return the ancient artifacts they took from our country a hundred years ago. They request Minister Qin to personally visit to retrieve these items, or they refuse to return them."
