Chapter 631: Chapter 630 I suggest initiating the destruction plan
Yang Fei didn’t pursue.
The strength of this middle-aged man from the West far exceeded his imagination.
The reason the two of them escaped from Monica’s Charming Eye illusion was that in the blood-red world she created, the relentless clashes between them ultimately caused that bloody realm to collapse.
Even though the confrontation took place in an illusion, which seemed to be only on the level of consciousness, it was an even more genuine display of their strengths.
Moreover, immediately after escaping the Charming Eye, the man fled with actions fluid like drifting clouds and flowing water, his overall state slightly better than Yang’s own.
Yang Fei could feel that his condition was at its weakest.
It was a weariness and frailty on the level of consciousness.
He didn’t want to move at all.
It felt as though the battle within the Charming Eye had completely drained his spirit.
Monica’s condition wasn’t much better.
Though she seemed to have done nothing, she had in fact constructed a world with her powerful spiritual power and forcefully pulled Willie, Yang Fei, and Klein into it.
In that illusion, Willie had self-harmed; now he lay in a pool of blood, lifeless, having passed on.
Although Yang Fei and Klein emerged with their lives, their mental exhaustion was immense, leaving deep scars even in the depths of their souls.
Moments later, Monica was the first to come to her senses. She looked at Willie in the pool of blood, and at those few innocents who, though still breathing, had become mindless, their eyes hollow, and her deep blue pupils expressed deep guilt and self-reproach.
Then, kneeling down to check Willie’s condition, she found he was thoroughly dead and covered her mouth in sorrow.
She had killed her nephew.
Willie had always respected her as his aunt; she had always treated him very well and nurtured him, even though he had no prospects of significant advancement in the family. But if he worked hard, she could provide him with a decent platform.
Yet he had tried to kill her.
In that moment, aside from the guilt of having killed Willie with her own hands, Monica felt a deeper desolation.
So heartless the imperial household reigns!
Though the Cavendish family was not an imperial household, in practical terms, this ancient Western aristocratic family was more extensive than most imperial families that had ever existed in the world.
After a while, Yang Fei came to Monica’s side, glanced indifferently at the body on the ground, and said to the emotionally complex Monica, "It was he who wanted to kill you first, and in the end, it was suicide."
"It was because he fell into the Charming Eye’s illusion that he killed himself," Monica’s voice still carried deep self-blame and sorrow.
Willie could be heartless and disloyal to her, leaving her heartbroken and sad, but deep down, she would still blame herself for his death, feeling it was her own doing.
"Let’s go, let’s leave this place first," Yang Fei said with a sigh, softly persuading her.
Monica looked at Willie’s body.
Yang Fei continued, "It will be taken care of, but right now, we’re not suited to stay here."
He had lost his dearest uncle just a few months ago, so he could understand what Monica was going through right now.
His uncle had died because of being implicated by him, whereas Willie was strictly speaking killed by Monica’s own hands, making her inner turmoil far more complex than his own had been upon learning of his uncle’s death.
Hearing the anxious and noisy voices outside, Monica nodded obediently.
After Yang Fei took her away, he got into a car and called Qin Yanyang, who said she already knew and told him not to worry, the Military Department would take over the matter, seal off the news, and then asked with concern how Yang Fei was doing.
Yang Fei briefly described his clash with Klein, and when Qin Yanyang asked about Klein’s appearance, Yang Fei said with a wry smile that all foreigners looked the same to him and he couldn’t describe it.
Following Qin Yanyang’s instructions, Yang Fei took Monica to another hotel, an official local reception hotel where security was relatively more secure.
Half an hour later, Qin Yanyang arrived.
She didn’t go to see Monica and asked Yang Fei to meet her in the car.
She first looked Yang Fei up and down, noticing that while his body wasn’t injured, his spirit seemed more listless than she had ever seen, which surprised her.
"You encountered a Western Mage with spiritual powers?" Qin Yanyang asked in surprise.
Yang Fei thought for a moment and shook his head, "He probably can’t be considered a Mage. He’s very powerful, perhaps slightly better than me in the Physical Body Realm, and his spiritual power is also very strong."
He elaborated on the encounter in detail.
Qin Yanyang said in a grave voice, "He must be from Heaven."
Yang Fei nodded, having had this suspicion already.
For ordinary people, the Hidden Sect, Penglai, and Heaven represented otherworldly lands, and even for many cultivators who mingled in the Martial Arts World, these three places were shrouded in mystery, unheard of by the vast majority.
In the past, Yang Fei snubbed these three locations, thinking they were overly mystical and pretended to be mysterious. Now, however, after he personally visited the Hidden Sect and later came into contact with the powerful from Penglai, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of reverence for these hidden realms deep inside.
"Only the powerful from Heaven could impose true pressure on the likes of you now," Qin Yanyang stated confidently.
Yang Fei agreed, "That’s likely the case. Not to brag, but at my current Cultivation Realm, I barely meet any rivals in the Hidden Sect. However, today this person forced me to give my all without any hope of winning. He’s indeed too strong, most certainly a person from Heaven, and among their strongest at that."
Qin Yanyang looked at him with his confident air and smiled faintly, "Yes, your strength is now infinitely close to the strongest realm achievable by cultivators in this world. After the video of you slaying Lawrence was exposed, only top-tier powerhouses would dare trouble you."
Yang Fei smiled and stopped boasting about his own strength. Changing the subject, he said, "It seems there has been a complication with Monica, and it might not be possible to maintain a stable relationship with the Cavendish family."
Qin Yanyang’s expression grew serious as she nodded, "That’s my biggest worry too."
Seeing her looking under great pressure, Yang Fei couldn’t help but grasp her small hand and said with a smile, "What’s there to fear? With me here, even if we can’t get along or establish a cooperative relationship with the Cavendish family, we have nothing to fear."
"The problem is that we might create a formidable enemy. I’m not afraid of the family itself, but Divine Continent still needs time," said Qin Yanyang.
Yang Fei raised an eyebrow, "If that family insists on being at odds with us, then we’ll teach them a profound lesson. A bit of intimidation should buy us some time. I don’t want you to put too much pressure on yourself. Living happily is what’s most important."
Qin Yanyang smiled radiantly and nodded, "Yes, don’t worry, I know how to manage my emotions well. I won’t dwell on the burden of worrying about our country and people."
"That’s right. As long as we’ve done our best, the outcome is up to fate. Besides, I believe that as long as we stand united as husband and wife, we will be invincible."
"Hmm."
...
In a suite at another Binhai hotel.
Klein stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the beautiful night view of the city while speaking to someone on the phone.
"He’s very strong, and that girl from the Cavendish family is also quite peculiar. We can’t let them join forces. I suggest we initiate the destruction plan to eliminate any potential obstacles that could hinder Heaven’s development."
