When the Golden Core Master saw Feng Jun, he imdiately started cursing, saying things like "If you’ve got guts, kill ."
Feng Jun couldn’t be bothered to pay attention, not even interested in explaining that he and the Tianxin Platform had already buried the hatchet and taken down the Hunting Alliance together—he was too lazy to say a single word to those who couldn’t grasp the situation.
After entering the quarters, he first inquired about the Big Boss’s recovery.
The Big Boss claid to be long recovered, just waiting for his return. However, the Void Demon needed to be handed over for a day of adjustnt.
Feng Jun used the Soul Stone to guard against Demon Cultivation, storing the Void Demon inside it since the Big Boss placed great importance on this demon. Although Feng Jun didn’t understand its power, he surely wouldn’t spill the secret to others.
Then, the Big Boss talked about the three intruders. These three were pretty thodical, carefully scouting the surroundings for three days before finally landing on the island. Of course, they also spotted the quarters, likely assuming there were people inside.
The leader explorer said they happened by this place, seeking permission to rest for so ti while ntioning the na Tianxin Platform—Tianxin Platform cultivators fearlessly introduced themselves, as friends were abundant worldwide.
The Big Boss hadn’t intended to engage with them. Those three thought their actions were secretive, but he had perceived their every move early on.
His thought was that surely the Golden Core had a quarter here; if you behave nicely and stay put until Feng Jun returned, you’d negotiate issues directly with him. He didn’t plan to intervene.
But for so reason, the other party, seeing no response, dared to forcefully breach the quarters. The Dust-Cleansing Superiors couldn’t break the defensive formation, and then the Golden Core actually made a move.
Xiao Bai rushed out, injuring the Golden Core Master, causing the Dust-Cleansing Superior to beco furious upon seeing the white fox, charging forward without considering whether they could win.
Xiao Bai subdued two people, tossing them aside; it completely ignored the Qi Refining Disciple, simply taking their Storage Bags and being done with it. Then the Big Boss curiously found—the master actually had quarters, too, not sure what they were thinking.
Feng Jun left the Void Demon to the Big Boss for adjustnts, feeling without much else to do. He ca out again and asked the Tianxin Platform’s Qi Refining Disciple, "Since you have quarters, why don’t you use them and instead attack mine?"
The Qi Refining Disciple was unyieldingly defiant, utterly nonchalant about the opponent being eighth-level Dust-Cleansing. He righteously retorted, "Is it possible for Tianxin Platform cultivators to accept the presence of strangers around while resting?"
Feng Jun was speechless, raised a hand to point at him, "If it wasn’t for making peace with your Da ng Executor, just your attitude would earn you a slap to death from ."
"An Executor made peace with you?" The Qi Refining Disciple’s eyes widened, and in the next mont, he laughed, "Toying with a little bug like , is that fun for you?"
"Don’t bother with him," the Dust-Cleansing Superior weakly interjected, "At worst, we die, don’t let anyone see us as a joke."
The Golden Core Master no longer cursed, seemingly too disdainful to speak to Feng Jun.
"Playing with you...you think you’re worth it?" Feng Jun scoffed with disdain, tossing down a Gathering Spirit Array Plate and a Defense Array Disk, "Survive well, in a while, people from Tianxin Platform and Pine Cypress Peak will co, and by the way, this island is mine!"
He wasn’t worried that they’d fail to acknowledge after taking the plates...Xiao Bai still had their Storage Bags.
He turned and left, the Qi Refining Disciple was dumbfounded, "Is... is this for real? Should we use these two plates?"
"Why not use the plates if we have them?" The Dust-Cleansing Superior had no hesitation, "He gave them voluntarily, it’s not that we asked for them." Tianxin Platform cultivators valued life or perhaps indulgence, he even emphasized, "He gave them voluntarily, we didn’t ask."
The Golden Core Master was silent, seemingly agreeing.
With the Gathering Spirit and Defense Array activated, the Qi Refining Disciple spoke again, "Did he really make peace with our Tianxin Platform? Killing the three of us would be easy for him."
The Dust-Cleansing Superior and the Golden Core Master ignored him; having lounged in the open air for several days, without any protection, was truly uncomfortable and tense—even these cultivators yearned to rest for a mont.
They rested for ten hours until the Golden Core Master spoke, "This is undoubtedly where we initially attacked. If peace has been made, the Executors should have left ssages when they left, go and find them."
Feng Jun’s few words imparted a lot of information to them. Since the Tianxin Platform people had gone, they believed this place now belonged to Feng Jun, so they must have left so marks to notify scattered disciples.
Unfortunately, their focus over the past few days had been on the quarters and that white fox, with no ti to explore the small island—really not large, only fifty miles long and ten miles wide.
Even if both the Golden Core Master and Dust-Cleansing Superior were immobile, with only the wounded Qi Refining Disciple, discovering the island’s full layout should not be a big issue.
Now realizing the necessity, they definitely had to check whether any signs left behind existed on the island. After ten hours of rest, the Qi Refining Disciple regained so strength, "I’ll go take a look."
The Golden Core Master pondered and advised, "Go to a place farther from these quarters first."
This indeed made sense, no matter how the Da ng Executors had made peace with Feng Jun, the camp couldn’t have been set too close to Feng Jun’s location—the last ti, Tianxin Platform suffered the loss of several Golden Cores, not just any small conflict.
Half a day later, the Qi Refining Disciple returned jubilantly, "The Executors...really left secret marks."
The Dust-Cleansing Superior was excited as well, "What did they leave?"
"Indeed, we’ve reconciled with Feng Jun and Tianxin Platform," the Qi Refining Disciple happily replied, "Moreover, they said they’re responsible for helping to gather the scattered disciples of Ten Directions Platform, so we don’t...we don’t, uh, get into conflict..."
"Don’t get into conflict..." The Golden Core Master chuckled awkwardly; this conflict was indeed initiated by our side.
Then he hesitated, "Why...didn’t we see anything during our exploration a few days ago?"
"Well," the Transcendent Master sighed and then bitterly smiled, "At that ti, after we discovered their movents, how could we have had the mind to observe other things? The reminders left by the executor, weren’t the secret signs too prominent?"
Anyone with common sense knows that Ten Directions Platform couldn’t have left prominent secret signs—such a disgraceful thing should be marked quietly with a secret sign, even if it’s internal to Ten Directions Platform, outsiders basically couldn’t understand.
However, secret signs that even Qi Refining Disciples can understand are indeed likely readable by outsiders.
"The secret signs are indeed not too big, but not too small either," the Qi Refining Disciple nodded, then eagerly asked, "Can we go speak clearly with them, and get our Storage Bags back...so we can peacefully heal our wounds?"
This ti around, the Ten Directions Platform disciples were quite well-prepared for their outing, but unfortunately, their Storage Bags were all snatched away by the white fox.
"This matter...I probably have to go," the Transcendent Master hesitantly announced, "Xiao Qin, you’re still a bit lacking, it’s not equal."
As he ntioned this, he glanced at the Golden Core Master—No objections, right?
He hadn’t yet caught the Master’s expression, when suddenly the Qi Refining Disciple cried out, "Oh my...yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes."
Upon hearing, he turned his head only to see Feng Jun raise his hand, retracting their residence and shooting away, "Hey you..."
Since it was a gesture of reconciliation, he didn’t dare to shout too loudly, but Feng Jun had already disappeared into the mist without a backwards glance.
"What does this count as?" he grumbled exceedingly dissatisfied, "Even if you’re leaving, you could at least say sothing...weren’t you supposed to be eting us? You snatched the Storage Bags and left, what does this count as?"
Of course, this was mostly just venting frustration, he didn’t dare speak loudly, especially as he still had the Spirit Gathering Array and defensive formation beside him; if Feng Jun really intended not to return, how could he have left these things behind?
At his level, the Spirit Gathering Array and defensive formations from the Transcendent stage are truly not much, especially as he’s a higher-up of Ten Directions Platform, not lacking in Spirit Stones, but if these two Array Plates were to be sold casually, they could still be worth thirty to fifty thousand spirit stones.
Feng Jun probably isn’t lacking money either, but if he truly were to leave, is it necessary to leave this amount behind?
After pondering for a long ti, the Transcendent Master felt his analysis was correct, "Alright, there’s probably sothing up, the executor said he’d promise to et us...he wouldn’t go against it, right?"
Ten Directions Platform suffered a loss under Feng Jun’s hand once, but for so reason, everyone believed it wasn’t really our fault; Feng Jun might be very formidable, still...Ten Directions Platform isn’t easy to provoke either.
This arrogance is not sothing that can be abandoned overnight.
Then he looked again at the Golden Core Master beside him—Did I say anything wrong?
The Golden Core Master however, didn’t notice this glance but instead frowned deeply; only after a long ti did he ask, "Are there any other secret signs?"
The Qi Refining Disciple thought for a mont, drawing out a symbol, "This...what does this symbol an?"
The disciple’s cultivation level was actually quite low, even though among Qi Refining Disciples, he was top-notch, so secret signs simply weren’t within his grasp.
The Master and the Transcendent both saw this symbol and were instantly dumbfounded; they gazed blankly for quite a while before exchanging a glance.
Eventually, the Transcendent Master spoke, breaking the silence, "What is connected to this symbol, both before and after?"
The Qi Refining Disciple didn’t think this was particularly serious; hence he initially said nothing, but seeing the two predecessors so solemn, he paused before softly answering, "This line of secret signs is particularly small, unnoticed if you’re not paying attention...I don’t believe it’s very important."
The Golden Core Master was losing patience, "Just tell us the code phrase before and after!"
The Qi Refining Disciple scratched his head, "It said that Feng Jun killed one such...thing."
Upon hearing this, both the Golden Core Master and Transcendent Master collectively inhaled sharply.
The Transcendent Master cautiously glanced at the Golden Core Master, "This symbol should be...a Nascent Soul True Immortal?"
He had no choice. His cultivation could only barely access this level of information, but he thought...perhaps he could be mistaken, so he needed to confirm this.
The Golden Core Master silently nodded, taking a long ti to utter a single word, "Damn!"
