Capítulo 2007: Chapter 2009: Enemies and Friends
After Feng Jun finished forming his core, the tribulation cloud didn’t disperse imdiately, as the karma related to Master Crimson Blood was yet unresolved.
That guy truly was adept at causing trouble, Feng Jun admired his ability to evade, but ultimately, the repercussions still affected Feng Jun—he spat out a mouthful of blood.
These repercussions weren’t strong, although they might directly lead to a downfall for others, Feng Jun thought the backlash really wasn’t strong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
However, even a weak backlash is still a backlash, proving Master Crimson Blood didn’t completely withstand the tribulation thunder and ultimately shifted the bla—although the bla was very minor, it wasn’t fully taken on.
Feng Jun was curious about just this point: what on earth did you end up doing?
This question didn’t hold much personal significance for him, but in terms of enriching his database, it was quite significant.
Gongyang Youyu listened intently, and couldn’t quite believe his ears, “Seven tribulation thunders, and you still received backlash… to succeed in core formation, that’s truly impressive.”
Gongyang Youqing then spoke, “There must have been so thod used to forcibly sever the karma. However, that could only happen when the karma line is weakened… For specific details, Mountain Master Feng can inquire Taiqing or Crimson Phoenix.”
“Oh,” Feng Jun nodded, thinking to himself that he was about to et the Big Boss, and asking such things was more suited for the Big Boss.
But there was still a point he didn’t quite understand, “I’m curious, why would he not self-detonate his Golden Core, but instead self-detonate his heavenly spirit? You two co from secret realm clans, surely you must have so opinions… Is it convenient for you to explain it a bit?”
Gongyang Youyu gave Feng Jun a bizarre look, “Mountain Master Feng already has the answer in his heart, why ask us?”
Feng Jun heard this and smiled bitterly, “Do you think I’m just asking questions I already know the answers to?”
Gongyang Youyu shook his head, “Not precisely questions you already know, I think Mountain Master Feng has so guesses, but cannot accurately judge, hence seeking our confirmation… but unfortunately, we really cannot confirm anything for you.”
Feng Jun smiled and shook his head helplessly, “Then forget it, pretend I never asked.”
However, Gongyang Youqing’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued, “Mountain Master Feng, can I hear what your guesses are?”
Feng Jun didn’t really have any guesses. But since he was put on the spot, he couldn’t avoid it.
Of course, he could simply admit he didn’t have any guesses—being ignorant wasn’t anything to be ashad of.
But since he was pretending to have a sect background, he couldn’t always be saying “knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing,” he had to show so insights when necessary.
Thanks to Earth Realm’s online novels, his thinking was rather unfettered and imaginative, “I’ve heard so secret techniques control cultivators, others can’t see it, but at crucial monts, can explode the mind sea… As for detonating the Golden Core, that’s considerably more challenging.”
“Secret technique control… I’ve heard of exploding the mind sea,” Gongyang Youqing spoke with a frown, “But even exploding the mind sea is just brain matter scattered, exploding the heavenly spirit… That secret technique is mighty powerful isn’t it? How is that even the Golden Core Ninth Layer.”
As soone in the Seventh Level of Golden Core, she was qualified to speak on this matter. A Golden Core cultivator is not just a perfect body, the physical prowess far exceeds others, almost like using it as a weapon.
Common interdiate cultivators can barely break through the defense of a Golden Core, not like Master Ma’s Iron Golden Core, but even ordinary Golden Core defenses are hard to breach, otherwise Feng Jun wouldn’t think i Yeyu’s interdiate power daring to battle Golden Core was so impressive?
If you lack offensive power, even if a Golden Core stood still for you to attack, you’d hardly be able to beat them!
Compared to Gongyang Youqing’s rigid reasoning, Gongyang Youyu’s reaction was much more normal, “If you can secretly control the Golden Core Ninth Layer, already that’s quite rare, detonating the Golden Core is unlikely, but detonating the heavenly spirit is indeed possible… I support Mountain Master Feng’s conjecture.”
Gongyang Youqing tilted her head thoughtfully, then slowly nodded, “Indeed, primarily I haven’t heard of any similar secret techniques, but thinking carefully, it’s quite reasonable.”
Gongyang Youyu didn’t want to appear weak and was tempted to claim he’d heard of similar secret techniques, but reconsidered that if Feng Jun asked what those techniques were, he couldn’t provide an answer, it’d make him seem like he was “protecting a suspect?”
So he chuckled wryly, also nodding, “I haven’t heard of similar secret techniques either, but I find Mountain Master Feng’s conjecture legally operational… May I ask, what secret technique can achieve this effect?”
“I’ve just heard, there’s such a secret technique,” Feng Jun borrowed network novel creativity, which was already quite good, couldn’t make up more nas, right?
So he directly changed the topic, “So, you both agree, that Master Crimson Blood was originally controlled by the Yinsha Sect, and when they found out the plot against failed, the Yinsha Sect themselves took him out?”
“No doubt about it,” Gongyang Youqing answered without hesitation, like without thinking, “Otherwise there’s no reasonable explanation why Master Crimson Blood would interfere with your core formation, right?”
Not bad for soone from a secret realm clan, very adept with free guilt assessnt.
But Gongyang Youyu was different, it wasn’t that he couldn’t use free guilt assessnt, but he understood very well that using it was just the elentary stage, achieving the goal post-free guilt assessnt is what’s crucial.
It’s easy to say that the Yinsha Sect is doing this, but what goal does everyone want to achieve — to annihilate the entire Yinsha Sect?
The Gongyang family is not afraid of the Yinsha Sect. Killing a few masters from Yinsha is a minor act, but wanting to destroy the sect is really impossible. On the Tianqin Plane, the Yinsha Sect has its higher-ups.
Once the competition becos a confrontation between sects and secret realm clans, the secret realm clan really won’t fare well — just look at Kunhao’s current situation.
So he seriously suggested, “We should capture a few masters from Yinsha for a soul search. Without specific secret technique nas and usage traces, killing a few masters from Yinsha is simple, but if you want to deal with Yinsha comprehensively… these must be considered.”
Feng Jun was not surprised by the Gongyang family’s retreat; free interpretation is the qualification of the strong. Since the Gongyang family is not that strong, it’s only normal that they are unwilling to endorse him.
In fact, he felt the Gongyang family was already quite bold. “Capture a few masters for soul search” was a suggestion he had never heard before — secret realm clans really have confidence!
Others thought that being able to ambush three masters from Yinsha single-handedly was already an incredible and crazy act.
However, this public opinion still needs to be crafted. He nodded slightly, “Have you ntioned this suspicion to the masters of the Crimson Phoenix Sect?”
Gongyang Youyu’s face looked a bit embarrassed, Gongyang Youqing imdiately understood his aning and decisively stated, “Who would have thought there was such a suspicion? We rarely hear people ntion similar secret techniques… Brother Youyu, have you heard of it?”
“No,” Gongyang Youyu honestly shook his head, “So I haven’t ntioned it to Xia Nichang. How about later… I give her a hint?”
“I can give her a hint too,” Feng Jun replied without hesitation, “Master Crimson Blood has hard the Crimson Phoenix Sect for so long, the Crimson Phoenix wants to seek justice, I’d be very willing to support that behavior.”
He wasn’t foolish enough to overturn the Yinsha Sect entirely. That was too unrealistic. Although he had confronted the Yinsha Sect head-on during the Earth stage, now at the Golden Core stage, what he could do… was still to confront rather than destroy the sect.
The reason was simple: after visiting Tianqin once, he realized Yinsha was not just Yinsha. They have their higher-ups — but even having higher-ups is not frightening; what’s frightening is Yinsha is part of a system!
For Feng Jun, annihilating a clan was no big deal, but challenging an entire system was truly dreaming of the impossible.
Even on Earth Realm, a plane of declining magic, he was unwilling to challenge the system, let alone face higher-ups with Out-Of-Body stage big bosses — the key is above the higher-ups, even bigger bosses exist.
If he holds solid evidence, Feng Jun wouldn’t be afraid to fight — higher-ups of the Yinsha Sect would definitely have rivals, too.
However, relying solely on free interpretation to challenge the entire system clearly ant he was overly intoxicated — just how many dishes did he have to drink to such excess?
Free interpretation itself is the ga of the strong!
Therefore, pulling out the Crimson Phoenix as the oppressed victim and having them internally clash within the system is the proper coping strategy.
He had already made his statent so obvious that Gongyang Youyu naturally knew what to do. He smiled and nodded, “Mountain Master Feng, rest assured, I’ll definitely convey the ssage to Crimson Phoenix, and my Gongyang family… is willing to help Crimson Phoenix capture a few Yinsha criminals.”
The Gongyang family dares to capture the masters of Yinsha; helping capture a few criminals naturally poses no difficulty — Feng Jun strongly suspected that the “criminals” Gongyang Youyu ntioned were indeed Yinsha’s masters.
At first, he was puzzled as to why the Gongyang family was so enthused, not afraid of being resented by Yinsha?
But he quickly realized that this was internal strife within the sect system, and the Gongyang family, as a secret realm clan, was duty-bound to stir things up!
Of course, he preferred to understand such matters without getting overly involved.
After the Gongyang family left, Tianxin Platform ca in.
Feng Jun wondered when he beca so busy, but Ji Buseng’s courteous attitude told him: he’s indeed this busy now, because he is no longer who he was.
Ji Buseng is a very flamboyant and unrestrained person who can grant a minor Qi cultivator a Guest Elder’s position and dare to face the encirclent of dozens of Golden Core mbers of the Dantai Clan!
Such an influential person, upon eting Feng Jun, first thanked Gan Xiang, then explained why he insisted on bringing Wuyou Platform in to participate in the construction of the spirit vein.
Let’s put aside his reasons for doing this for a mont. Just his polite attitude would leave countless people astonished.
However, Ji Buseng’s reason also left Feng Jun feeling a bit at a loss; his relationship with Wuyou Platform was genuinely diocre, and the only reason he brought Wuyou Platform in to construct the spirit vein was simply because… three sects were participating in this construction!
Tianxin Platform also participated, but among the four sects and five platforms, only one platform was involved in this matter, which sohow felt a bit uneasy!
