Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: I’m Doing This for Your Own Good
Qu Jianlei had developed such admiration for Feng Jun’s ability to predict events that he worshipped him.
He actually asked whether Feng Jun could deduce the gathering point.
Feng Jun’s answer was another direction, “My puppet beast released information onto them, which can be sensed remotely.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the nine-tailed white fox standing as tall as a person, utterly speechless.
Even Yue Qing couldn’t help himself, “Mountain Master Feng, can you get a similar puppet beast? How many spirit stones?”
“Cough, cough,” Feng Jun coughed twice, “Master Yue, you know this isn’t sothing from this realm.”
Even with Yue Qing’s composure, his face flushed slightly as this was the third ti Feng Jun had caught him asking about things he shouldn’t—a Golden Core Master doesn’t need to save face?
At this mont, Qu Jianlei spoke, “Mountain Master Feng, I suggest we take our ti with this matter; no one knows if they have reinforcents. If you pursue them closely, we’ll definitely need to call Xiao ng, but doing that… will leave only Master Sumiao at White Pebble Beach.”
“Isn’t Master Sumiao enough?” Feng Jun looked at him in surprise, “Their main target is , or maybe they’ll take a jab at the Crimson Phoenix disciples. If Master Sumiao is willing to stand guard, might they really want to offend Taiqing again?”
Qu Jianlei was taken aback, then chuckled lightly, “Alright, my protective task is to ensure your safety, and everything else can be set aside… Honestly, I hope you won’t chase after them.”
Hearing this explanation, Feng Jun was montarily stunned before replying with a bitter smile, “But… I really can’t stand it. The main culprits have escaped, leaving only a few troublemakers dead. That’s hard to swallow.”
“I understand,” Master Qu nodded, “Who hasn’t gone through youth? But Mountain Master Feng, don’t you have ‘kill one to save one’? Why risk that and make us worry too?”
At that mont, a flying device was approaching from afar; so people were drawn to the great battle.
Yue Qing flew into the air, releasing a strong Golden Core pressure, and spoke solemnly, “Qinggang Sect’s business, unrelated persons withdraw, those who don’t listen… bear the consequences!”
Seeing this, Nie Chifeng also persuaded, “Why not go back and discuss with everyone first? Mountain Master Feng… we are doing this for your own good.”
Feng Jun usually couldn’t accept words like “it’s for your own good,” but this ti, they were right. Everyone didn’t want him taking risks.
Looking up at the sky, it was about to get dark, so he took out his mobile phone to swipe, “Let check if anything was missed around here.”
Indeed, he found so things missed: two array plates for Hidden Formation, two for trapping arrays, although not rare, after all… they were Golden Core level!
Feng Jun felt increasingly lucky that he hadn’t been trapped in such high-level formations.
Only Yue Qing scoffed, “Just petty tricks, never worth ntioning.”
Then everyone boarded Master Xiaong’s flying boat and flew back to White Pebble Beach.
White Pebble Beach had also received the warning, knowing that Lantern Town had been engaged, and the two female masters first organized defense, then reached out, finding out the battle was over, no support needed.
Hence, they didn’t split their focus and continued concentrating on defense—since the other side had won, it would be a huge joke if they were sneak-attacked here.
The flying boat returned, and night had fallen completely. Crimson Phoenix Courtyard had prepared dinner, inviting Feng Jun and the Taiqing and Qinggang mbers to discuss what had happened.
There’s no secret to it; Feng Jun only spoke with the three, not wanting word of the puppet beast to spread. As for Yinsha Sect wanting to spread information, let them do as they please.
However, upon hearing the nas Hanpo, Ling Bing, Yue Wu, Li Nan, Yang Zhikun… all renowned figures, not only did the prominent masters and Qi Refining disciples shudder, but even the two resident masters’ expressions changed.
Master Sumiao had a face of “Are you kidding , right?” two masters and two upper beings defeated five Golden Core?
Yue Qing, who often clashed with Taiqing, finally found a chance to retaliate this ti, “If you can’t do it, don’t doubt others!”
But Sumiao truly didn’t dare argue with him, firstly due to gender difference, and secondly… she was only at the initial Golden Core stage!
Qu Jianlei coughed lightly and ambiguously replied, “After a fierce battle and close cooperation, we jointly slayed Li Nan and Yang Zhikun, unfortunately, those three escaped.”
His words were not stealing credit but were decided upon by everyone to share risks for Feng Jun, firstly to avoid excessive enmity, and secondly to prevent attracting too much attention due to this astonishing achievent.
But with these words… it wasn’t Feng Jun who was the anomaly, it was their combination of four who were completely extraordinary.
Upon hearing, it was the three from Yinsha Sect who escaped, Master Sumiao no longer questioned—since Crimson Phoenix’s arch-enemies escaped, the dead duo was likely Yue Qing’s doing, why should she bolster Qinggang’s stance?
Master Xiaong already knew the outco, thus she didn’t ask again—was only killing the Golden Core of Ten Directions interesting?
Qu Jianlei spoke up in ti, “Those three from the Yinsha sect won’t be returning anyti soon. Mountain Master Feng has the Dharma to find out where they’re headed. We think it’s necessary to discuss this with everyone. Considering Mountain Master Feng’s ability to deduce… catching up to them isn’t an issue, but we’re concerned about safety.”
Xiao ng pondered for a mont and asked, “Are those three injured?”
Qu Jianlei shook his head, “Ling Bing might have so minor injuries, but they don’t affect the overall situation. Hanpo and Yue Wu are basically intact.”
“This matter…” Master Xiaong pondered for a mont, then glanced at Yue Qing, “What does Master Yue think?”
Yue Qing replied nonchalantly, “I don’t mind. It depends on what Mountain Master Feng thinks.”
However, Master Sumiao suggested, “It’s better to consider this at length. Our three sects can join forces to question the Yinsha… It’s not just that a Golden Core Master is bullying the weak, but they outnumbered them as well. If everyone acted like this, wouldn’t the Cultivation World fall into chaos? Moreover, although Mountain Master Feng has his thods and has even slain a Golden Core Master before, his cultivation level is ultimately too low. It’s indeed unwise to take risks.”
Xiao ng glanced at Feng Jun, “I think so too—Mountain Master Feng shouldn’t take risks lightly. How about this: I’ll inform our sect imdiately and have the Elders Council make a decision… Did you bring back the two Golden Cores’ bodies from the Shifang platform?”
Feng Jun flicked his hand, releasing the bodies of the two Golden Cores, though their defensive clothing was nowhere to be found.
The group examined them carefully and imdiately recognized their identities, “It’s indeed Li Nan and Yang Zhikun.”
However, so were looking at Feng Jun thoughtfully — why are you the one releasing these bodies?
In truth, Master Sumiao wasn’t very comfortable—such a major battle today, and the Taiqing Sect was completely uninvolved, leaving her feeling a bit passive. She knew that staying here was not just to watch over disciples but also to protect Feng Jun.
And now she doesn’t even understand the details of the battle.
So she frowned slightly, “Master Xiaong, should we first find out what Shifang platform intends to do?”
She believed Xiaong wouldn’t refuse her suggestion—Shifang platform typically maintained good relations on all sides, offending no one. But this ti they sided with the Yinsha sect to ambush Feng Jun, clearly a huge provocation to the Crimson Phoenix.
Moreover, Shifang platform has only five Golden Core mbers recorded, and now one—Yang Zhikun—has died, making this target seemingly weaker.
“I think that’s possible,” Xiaong nodded, “And it would prevent them from using the Golden Core fall to stir up trouble. We might as well question them first.”
Even for major forces like the Four Sects and Wutai, each Golden Core is extrely precious. With the disappearance of Han Ji of the Yinsha sect causing such trouble, the death of two Golden Cores from Shifang platform—they won’t take it lying down, even if one of them was just a Patron.
Xiaong’s idea was, since they’ll co to hold us accountable anyway, why not confront them first?
Then she glanced at Yue Qing, “Master Yue was also a witness. Would you like to join us as a testimony?”
“Alright,” Yue Qing nodded, appearing very agreeable. After giving it so thought, he added, “No need to call anyone else from Qinggang.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Jun, thinking to himself that it’s not that he doesn’t want to support him—it’s just that they both sched against Feng Yishu recently. If he brings others into this, what if Feng Yishu seeks you out later for divination and pursues the Congealing Infant stage?
Yet his statent sounded utterly arrogant to anyone who cared to listen—are you planning to handle it alone?
Despite being just at the Initial Golden Core Stage, Master Sumiao couldn’t remain silent at this mont—with so many Taiqing disciples watching. She huffed lightly, “This is a sect matter. If Master Yue alone can suppress Shifang platform, then Taiqing can abstain from involvent.”
Of course, Yue Qing didn’t care to bully the “weak.” He calmly responded, “When I, Yue Qing, step forward, it’s as if Qinggang is stepping forward.”
Don’t fuss over such matters; what I decide represents Qinggang’s intent!
No wonder people say he’s arrogant at heart. Nevertheless, he indeed has the qualifications to speak this way—what I participate in, Qinggang will only support.
Of course, actions like scheming against Han Ji and cursing Feng Yishu are not part of this.
Feng Jun felt a bit uninterested, but he still said, “I very much appreciate everyone’s concern and support for . How about… we call it a day? I’d like to rest, and everyone can also communicate with their sects.”
It was indeed getting late. By the ti Feng Jun and the others left Lantern Town, it was already dark. Although Lantern Town wasn’t far from White Pebble Beach, it was still five thousand miles away. Even with Master Xiaong’s speedy flying boat, it took about an hour.
After returning and resting for a mont, gathering to eat and drink, and chatting for a while, it was already similar to nine o’clock in the Earth Realm.
The key is that Feng Jun and the others just went through an intense battle, so wanting to return to rest is a perfectly normal request.
“Yes,” Master Sumiao nodded. She didn’t want to discuss further in a situation where she knew nothing. She needed to understand the details of today’s battle in order to make a decision, “Everyone has worked hard, tonight’s watch duty will be handled by Taiqing.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Kong Ziyi—you need to find out more from Feng Jun.
