Chapter 916: The Furious Yang Fei
Tong Yunshu did not answer Yang Fei. She stared into the endless darkness above the sky, trying hard to more closely confirm that inexplicable perception from before.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer feel the inexplicable fear she had felt for that instant earlier.
After a long time, she slowly withdrew her gaze, seeming a bit more fatigued.
Yang Fei looked at her in surprise and asked with concern, "Yun Shu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so exhausted, like you're drained of your spirit?"
Tong Yunshu rested for a moment, nodded, and said, "Just a moment ago, I seemed to enter some kind of special world. I sensed a danger I've never felt before, a crisis... so suffocating it was unbearable."
Yang Fei frowned, looking up again at the sky, but saw nothing and sensed nothing. He looked at Tong Yunshu with doubt and comforted, "Perhaps it's just an illusion. Don't worry too much about it."
He then smiled and said, "Even though it's enough to feel amazed by the mysteries and intrigue of this world, knowing that realm planes like the Hidden Sect Plane, Heaven, and Penglai Realm can exist, I still don't believe there could be another dimension deeper than those three small world planes. Even if there were, a powerful space barrier should exist between the two planes, making it nearly impossible to pass easily."
Tong Yunshu was silent for a moment and then said, "Which void does Taoism speak of shattering?"
Yang Fei was startled and became stumped by the question.
He had never thought about this problem before, nor did he expect Tong Yunshu to ask it suddenly.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Fei laughed and said, "That thing is too mystical. I feel that what Taoism calls 'shattering the void' is probably just a saying when someone dies. Since they desire immortality, they use the concept of 'shattering the void' to make a mysterious fuss, projecting their spiritual fantasy to jump out of this world and continue living in another."
Tong Yunshu couldn't help but laugh, and did not continue to dwell on the matter, smiling: "Yes, you're right. We are now regarded as masters in the cultivation world, but at most we can only live until 150 or 200 years old. Where is the immortality? The so-called 'shattering the void' must be false as well."
Yang Fei said decisively, "It's definitely false."
Tong Yunshu glanced once more into the depths of the sky and said to Yang Fei, "Let's go back. Qin Yanyang called at noon, and she seems to have something really important for you, and have you not noticed, the entire defense level of Yunwu Mountain's Base has increased by several levels? I suspect there might be an enemy invasion."
Yang Fei's expression changed when he heard this, and he embraced Tong Yunshu's waist before swiftly flying downward towards the base's direction.
Very quickly, they returned to the valley base.
Hu Lizhong had been waiting there for a long time. Upon seeing him, he quickly handed over the phone and said, "Do you want to call Minister Qin?"
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Call."
Hu Lizhong had already opened the page with Qin Yanyang's number and promptly pressed the call button upon hearing this.
The call quickly connected, and Yang Fei anxiously said, "Wife, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but why does your voice sound off?" Qin Yanyang asked in confusion.
Yang Fei was immediately relieved to hear that Qin Yanyang was okay.
As long as she's fine, nothing else matters. He laughed and said, "Wife, your once invincible husband is back, hahaha."
Next to him, expert masters like Tong Yunshu, Hu Lizhong, Luo Yong, Wang Chengcuo, and the Xu Family's three brothers all rolled their eyes secretly.
This guy is so arrogant.
When were you ever invincible?
At best, you were invincible only when teaming up with Qin Yanyang.
At least in the hearts of Wang Chengcuo and Luo Yong, although they admitted that Yang Fei's martial arts talent is astonishing and his strength immense, with a limitless future, they did not think Yang Fei was currently invincible in the world.
On the other end of the call, Qin Yanyang was both surprised and delighted to hear Yang Fei's bold words. She asked, "Really, has your Physical Body Realm returned to its peak?"
Yang Fei said, "No, the True Qi stored within me has only just passed the Energy Transformation threshold. However, my body has undergone some changes, and not only has the Foundation Establishment state returned, I feel my strength and defense are several times stronger than my previous peak state. The overall combat power of the Physical Body Realm should be comparable to the previous peak."
Qin Yanyang was excited yet somewhat skeptical, "It can't be, right? I would believe it if you said you had reached the late stage of the Energy Transformation Third Rank, but you're only at the early stage of Energy Transformation. How can your combat power possibly match your previous peak state?"
Yang Fei replied, "That's how I feel personally, although I haven't verified it yet. But this feeling shouldn't be wrong. By the way, wife, what exactly happened? The security level of Yunwu Mountain's Base has been raised several levels, and you're in such a hurry to find me. Have the powerful entities of Heaven and Penglai Realm made a move?"
Qin Yanyang said solemnly, "Yes. According to our intelligence department's reports, many secular strongmen from Western countries have left their nations, and secular strongmen in the Penglai Realm have also shown activity. I suspect the powerful entities of Heaven and Penglai Realm have dispatched, and they have probably already infiltrated the Great Divine Continent."
Yang Fei's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said boldly, "It's perfect timing for them to come. It's a great chance for me to hone my skills. By the way, Wife, you should return to Yunwu Mountain's Base immediately. If powerful entities from Heaven and Penglai Realm have truly infiltrated the Divine Continent in large numbers, it would be extremely unsafe for you not to be by my side."
Qin Yanyang felt touched and warm inside, saying, "Mm, I'll be careful, don't worry."
Yang Fei's heart became anxious upon hearing this, asking, "Wife, what do you mean? Aren't you coming back to the base?"
Qin Yanyang said, "I'm not going back for the time being. I want to see if the powerful entities of Heaven and Penglai Realm are planning to launch an all-out dark war. If I stay here, they will definitely come looking for me. When the time comes, I will try to lead them to Yunwu Mountain's Base. Husband, you must always be ready for a decisive battle. If possible, strike them with a fatal blow at Yunwu Mountain's Base, giving us enough time to grow and rise." This is part of a series from My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L1EMPYR).
Yang Fei became furious, shouting loudly, "Qin Yanyang, are you out of your mind? Do you intend to use yourself as bait? Do you even know the terrifying strength of those top-tier fighters? If it's a one-on-one, you might have a chance to fight them, but they wouldn't opt to find you one-on-one. This is extremely dangerous. Get back here right now."
He was truly anxious and it was the first time he yelled at Qin Yanyang.
This was simply outrageous.
Who jokes with their life like this?
On the other end, Qin Yanyang was startled by Yang Fei's sudden roar but was immediately touched and angry, saying with a huff, "Yang Fei, don't you dare shout at me like that. I, Qin Yanyang, am not your appendage."
Yang Fei quickly said, "Alright alright, wife, I'm sorry, I apologize. Listen to me, come back to the base quickly. With both of us working together, we are invincible. No matter how many enemies come, I'll help you defeat them."
Qin Yanyang said, "The base is heavily defended, and it concerns the life and death of the Divine Continent. Heaven and the enemies of Penglai Realm are not fools. They have likely already gathered considerable intelligence about many secrets of the base. Unless we use bait of significant value to lure them, they are unlikely to easily head to Yunwu Mountain's Base."
"Are you crazy?" Yang Fei saw her insisting to stay in Wu'an City and became furious.
He directly hung up the phone and shouted at Hu Lizhong, "Old Hu, arrange a plane; I'm going to bring her back."
However, seeing Hu Lizhong's troubled expression, he said, "Brother Yang, Minister Qin has issued a military order; no one from Yunwu Mountain's Base is allowed to leave, I... I... please don't make things difficult for me."
Yang Fei had not expected that Qin Yanyang had already ordered the military advance, feeling both angry and anxious, he shouted, "Old Hu, are you listening to her or to me?"
