Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1495 - 1492: West Phoenix Valley

Southern Domain, three thousand miles southwest of the Zhongzhou Territory’s Shang Qing Sect, a vast mountain valley is surrounded by a range of rolling hills, renowned for its beauty and spiritual essence. Many cultivators have settled here since ancient times, marking it as a notable gathering place for loose cultivators in the Southern Zhongzhou Territory.

Eight hundred years ago, this place wasn’t yet called West Phoenix Valley. That was until Xihua Fairy suddenly arrived here, and within three years, she suppressed and subdued all the cultivators in and around this valley, renaming it West Phoenix Valley.

The massive valley is nestled between several thousand-mile-long perilous mountain ranges. When Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang first arrived here, they gazed from above, feeling that this valley’s vastness was comparable to Sichuan Basin on Earth in the Divine Continent.

Within the vast valley, a bustling city stands at the center, with numerous villages and towns surrounding it. At a glance, this enormous valley resembles an isolated and independent kingdom.

"Tsk tsk, that new boy is really something, he’s managed to persist for half a year without news of his death or being expelled from Hehuan Residence by Xihua Fairy. It’s probably broken the record of the last two hundred years."

In West Phoenix Valley, inside a bustling tavern, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang ordered some good dishes and a bottle of Immortal Brew, eating and chatting while overhearing the conversation from the nearby table of cultivators.

The two had just arrived at West Phoenix Valley today and, throughout their journey, had gathered information about the origin of this place from others.

Originally, this vast valley belonged to a free region acknowledged by various forces in Zhongzhou Territory. It was a fertile ground where loose cultivators gathered to live. Suddenly, Xihua Fairy subdued these loose cultivators and renamed the valley to West Phoenix Valley, causing nearby cultivation sects and aristocratic families to become wary.

Initially, these forces sought either to recruit or subdue Xihua Fairy, hoping to claim West Phoenix Valley for themselves. But they soon realized that this suddenly emerged Xihua Fairy was far too powerful to provoke.

Even the Shang Qing Sect and the Shen Family eventually approached Xihua Fairy, the latter represented by Shen Wanjing himself.

However, after Shen Wanjing’s encounter with Xihua Fairy, he returned to inform all Shen Family members and dependent forces that no Shen Family hand should stretch into West Phoenix Valley from then on, and no Shen Family member should provoke West Phoenix Valley.

The Shang Qing Sect similarly issued a comparable notice within their sect.

Since then, West Phoenix Valley became renowned in Zhongzhou Territory, with all cultivators aware of Xihua Fairy’s powerful capability, and that it should not be provoked.

Unfortunately, even if you don’t provoke West Phoenix Valley, West Phoenix Valley might still provoke you.

Especially Xihua Fairy.

Within less than a hundred years, nearly everyone in Zhongzhou Territory knew about Xihua Fairy’s fondness for handsome men and her penchant for dual cultivation. Ever since settling in West Phoenix Valley, countless charming male cultivators nearby were whisked away to become Xihua Fairy’s playthings.

The majority of male cultivators favored by Xihua Fairy were never seen leaving West Phoenix Valley again. It’s rumored they were drained by Xihua Fairy, leading to their demise.

Those slightly fortunate may retain their lives, but their cultivation roots were damaged, excessively deprived of Yang energy, and even if they survived, they wouldn’t escape their doom.

Initially, West Phoenix Valley became a place male cultivators avoided.

Even when obliged to pass by, knowledgeable male cultivators would skirt around it, afraid of being fancied by West Phoenix Valley people and taken away to be Xihua Fairy’s male pets.

Yet, precisely in such circumstances, West Phoenix Valley was developed by Xihua Fairy into a bustling workshop area.

Compared to other workshops in Zhongzhou Territory, those in West Phoenix Valley were more vibrant, even surpassing those managed by the Shang Qing Sect and Shen Family.

The reason is simple; numerous scarce cultivation resources, lacking in Southern Domain, often could be found in West Phoenix Valley.

This Xihua Fairy’s background seemed incredibly enigmatic and powerful, for no matter how rare the cultivation materials from the Northern Cultivation World, or the exotic treasures from Western and Eastern Regions, the scarce precious resources needed by cultivators often appeared in West Phoenix Valley’s workshops after her arrival.

Moreover, people noticed that not all handsome male cultivators would attract Xihua Fairy’s attention. Only those with extraordinary talents or cultivation realm no lower than Core Formation Stage were likely to be noticed by her, even if in West Phoenix Valley.

Gradually, to obtain the desired precious resources, more and more people bravely gathered here. When they realized the vast majority wouldn’t catch Xihua Fairy’s eye and there was no danger in being here, the workshops naturally became bustling. After a few hundred years of evolution, it became the most prosperous workshop area in Zhongzhou Territory.

"Hehe, that newly captured lad is probably gifted, dearly cherished by Xihua Fairy, reluctant to go hard on him?"

"Hmph, Xihua Fairy has seen countless men; what kind has she not met? With her ruthless temperament, there’s no way she’d truly love any man. That lad might be a natural Yang furnace, greatly benefiting Xihua Fairy’s cultivation, or else he couldn’t have survived until now."

"Brother Li speaks rightly. In my view, within ten days to half a month, that lad will meet his end here."

Among the cultivators at that table, three exhibited middle-stage Core Formation strength, the strongest group in the tavern. They articulated their views openly, undisturbed that others might overhear.

Qin Yanyang slightly furrowed her brows, transmitting to Yang Fei: "They must be talking about Sun Xingyu."

Yang Fei transmitted back, "It should be him. But why aren’t these people worried about Xihua Fairy overhearing their loud discussions?"

Qin Yanyang snorted lightly in response, "Xihua Fairy doesn’t care about her reputation, even letting others talk about her. Shameless! By the way, should you change your appearance? Since we arrived, I’ve noticed many people sneaking glances at you. They might be considering capturing you for Xihua Fairy."

Yang Fei chuckled, "Are you admitting your husband is handsome? Haha, if they take me to Xihua Fairy, it’d save me the trouble of searching for her."

Qin Yanyang scoffed, "You want to be someone’s male pet, don’t you?"

Yang Fei quickly retorted, "No way, what a thought. Rest assured, dear wife, I’m loyal to you. Even if seized by Xihua Fairy, I’d rather die than betray, resolutely safeguarding my purity."

"You?"

Qin Yanyang gave him a glare, as if saying he couldn’t possibly maintain purity.

Yang Fei wished he could smack himself on the mouth.

Here it goes again, reminding Qin Yanyang of his betrayal.

Choosing the wrong topic to address.

He hurriedly stood up, coughed lightly, and cupped his fists towards the lively discussing table of cultivators: "Fellow cultivators, pardon me, I’ve heard Xihua Fairy possesses unparalleled beauty, and fame has brought me here. How might I catch a glimpse of such celestial appearance?"
