The words of Wan Ping shocked all the Earth cultivators present.

Huang Chengcheng couldn’t help but exclaim angrily, "You’ve been here for four years, and you’re just telling us such a big matter now?"

Tong Yunshu also wore a look of anger.

She was very clear in her heart about the position of Li Xuanyu in Yang Fei’s heart.

Putting aside the ambiguous emotions between Li Xuanyu and Yang Fei, just their camaraderie in the Madman Organization made Yang Fei consider Li Xuanyu as family.

Moreover, even if it weren’t Li Xuanyu, but other Earth cultivators with a good relationship with Yang Fei, Yang Fei would also care greatly about them.

Now not only is Umekawa Taro dead, but even Li Xuanyu’s fate is unknown. This is undoubtedly terrible news for Yang Fei.

Although the matter had nothing to do with Wan Ping and Wan Fang, as they were only here to deliver the message, Tong Yunshu, Huang Chengcheng, and the others naturally felt upset that the two had lived in White Jade City for over four years without disclosing such a significant matter.

Especially considering that these two were descendants of Master Wan, Tong Yunshu and others had been very considerate of them over the past years, treating them as Earth leaders, even sharing some precious resources like the Genetic Liquid Medicine every year, which made them even angrier.

Wan Ping and Wan Fang felt the anger of all the Earth cultivators, their hearts trembling. Wan Fang hurriedly explained, "It’s not that we deliberately concealed it, but rather... rather the ancestor instructed that this message must be delivered in person to Senior Yang, but Senior Yang has been in seclusion all these years, so..."

"Enough."

Yang Fei snorted coldly, his gaze icy. "This matter indeed has nothing to do with you two. I don’t blame you. I just want to know, what happened to Wang Xingpeng?"

Wan Ping quickly said, "The ancestor immediately detained Wang Xingpeng at Tian Nan Peak, saying he would definitely give you a satisfactory explanation, Senior."

"Ha, just detaining someone is considered an explanation?" Yang Fei sneered, anger flaring in his eyes. "I entrusted them to Master Wan, and this is how he takes care of them?"

Wan Ping and Wan Fang were secretly shocked, casting a somewhat displeased glance at Yang Fei.

In their hearts, Wan Daorong was like an immortal, the ancestor and stabilizer of the Wan Family, a renowned top-level powerhouse throughout the Southern Domain Cultivation World.

And Yang Fei was just an early-stage Core Formation cultivator, who had also been accepted as a disciple by Wan Daorong. Yet, this young man’s words seemed to lack any respect for Ancestor Wan.

He even seemed to blame Wan Daorong a bit.

What audacity!

Wan Fang couldn’t help but remind, "Senior Yang, our ancestor really took great care of the Earth cultivators taken to Tian Nan Peak. You don’t know, True Man Wang Xingpeng is the only son of the Tianzhu Peak Peak Master, and his mother is also a half-step Divinity Transformation Realm warrior. He is among the top in the Shang Qing Sect’s second generation immortals. For this matter, our ancestor even directly detained Wang Xingpeng, offending the couple from Tianzhu Peak."

Wan Ping added, "Yes, Senior Yang, fellow Daoists, in this matter, our ancestor did his utmost, saying he would definitely give you Earth cultivators a satisfactory explanation. Thus, under immense pressure, he personally suppressed True Man Wang Xingpeng at Tian Nan Peak."

Huang Chengcheng and Qin Huai’an felt somewhat relieved in their hearts.

They didn’t have such deep feelings for Umekawa Taro and Li Xuanyu. Although they felt uncomfortable about Umekawa Taro’s death and Li Xuanyu’s uncertain fate and were angry at Wang Xingpeng, the sadness in their hearts wasn’t as intense as Yang Fei’s.

In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle prevails. Objectively speaking, if Wan Daorong truly handled the matter as Wan Ping and Wan Fang said, it would indeed be the utmost benevolence and justify Yang Fei’s trust.

After all, the opponent is a top-tier second generation immortal.

Not only is he himself a Core Formation Master, but his parents are a Divinity Transformation and a half-step Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse. With such a family background, who in the cultivation world would dare offend them lightly?

To say that killing Wang Xingpeng directly for revenge for Umekawa Taro and Li Xuanyu would indeed be forcing Wan Daorong’s hand.

However, the group also understood Yang Fei, knowing he would absolutely not think that way.

In his heart, killing to pay for a life is natural law.

Especially when it concerns Umekawa Taro, and Li Xuanyu’s life is uncertain.

For Yang Fei, this is an immense matter.

Back when Yang Fei’s second uncle was killed, the murderer was a master from the Duanmu family. For Yang Fei at that time, the Hidden Sect’s Duanmu family was an overwhelmingly powerful entity, yet he still ruthlessly exterminated those two. Later, he even broke into the Duanmu family and killed over a dozen people, only then extinguished the fire of vengeance in his heart.

Now, with this matter, everyone understood that Yang Fei would never let it go.

"Where is Master Wan now?" Yang Fei asked Wan Ping and Wan Fang.

Wan Ping hurriedly responded, "The ancestor followed us to the southern part of the Southern Domain four years ago and is waiting for you at the Teleportation Channel Entrance."

Yang Fei nodded, "Good, I’ll go see him now."

"Yang Fei, calm down," Huang Chengcheng immediately rebuked.

Tong Yunshu flashed to Yang Fei’s side and held his arm. She said nothing, merely looked at Yang Fei with unwavering determination in her eyes.

Qin Huai’an also said, "Yang Fei, we all know you are very sad and angry right now, but you absolutely must not act impulsively now, stay calm, and don’t fall into any traps."

Zhu Tianshou also added, "Yes, Yang Fei, this matter came so suddenly. You must stabilize your Dao Heart and not act rashly."

Wan Ping and Wan Fang secretly sighed with relief upon seeing everyone advising Yang Fei.

However, hearing Zhu Tianshou’s words ’don’t fall into a trap,’ they couldn’t help but furrow their brows slightly.

Wan Fang said, "Fellow Daoists, do not misunderstand. What we said is true, with absolutely no ulterior motive."

Zhuge Cang snorted coldly, "One cannot be without a defensive heart. Who knows if you want to lure Yang Fei into the Southern Domain World?"

Although Huang Chengcheng and Qin Huai’an didn’t speak, their meanings were obvious, clearly thinking the same.

Tong Yunshu said nothing, only clung tightly to Yang Fei’s arm. No matter what Yang Fei decided, she would support him, but the premise was that Yang Fei must take her along.

"Yang Fei, a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. You must find a chance in the future to avenge Umekawa Taro and Li Xuanyu, but right now, the most important thing is to preserve your own strength," Huang Chengcheng earnestly persuaded.

Qin Huai’an immediately said, "Yes, Yang Fei, although you have a higher realm than us and are Earth’s undoubted leader, you must listen to your master’s words. Such a big matter has happened suddenly, and as Earth’s leader, you must calm down and plan carefully."

Yang Fei listened to their advice, understanding that they were concerned about him acting impulsively and meant well for him.

He forcibly controlled his sadness and worry, tried to muster a smile, and said to everyone, "Rest assured, I will handle this matter calmly. However, Sister Xuanyu’s situation is urgent now. If only the Soul Binding Rope can extend her life, how can I face her if I don’t do something? Years have already been delayed; I cannot wait any longer."

After speaking, he looked at Tong Yunshu and said, "I must go."

Tong Yunshu smiled slightly and nodded, "I know, this is what you should do. But you also know my mind, so you can’t leave me behind."
