Ordinary investigations do not require a Soul Search. High-Rank Practitioners can sense the state of the other party, and only when there is a chance of news, is a Soul Search conducted. So, Soul Searching over two hundred people is truly not insignificant.
After Yi Jue finished speaking, she asked, "The place where that person ambushed us has been found; do you want to take a look?"
"Of course," Feng Jun nodded. He did not hold much hope for finding information, but doing nothing would make revenge even more hopeless. "That place has been thoroughly checked, right?"
Immortal Yi Jue nodded, "Definitely, I’ve searched there four tis without any information."
Feng Jun followed her to a cave mansion miles away, taking out his mobile phone and swiping it.
After a while, he expressionlessly put down the mobile phone.
Yi Jue, unwilling to see his disappointnt, coughed lightly, "This person has hard several Nascent Souls, but it has not been spread, so their infamy does not show. However, it’s certain... they definitely have a few secretive allies hidden in the shadows."
Feng Jun was silent for a long ti before he spoke, "What special techniques and True Artifacts does this person skillfully use?"
Immortal Yi Jue answered without hesitation, "Just an ordinary Loose Cultivator with a body refining technique, skilled in close combat and adept in saber usage, knows so poison techniques, not good at Formation, long-range attacks mainly water techniques. As for True Artifacts... mainly a saber, thick earth shield, and green vine banner."
Feng Jun pondered for a mont, then continued to ask, "Are there any other True Artifacts?"
Immortal Yi Jue dismissively responded, "Excluding weapons, having two True Artifacts is not too little, right? After all, he’s just a Loose Cultivator."
But then she added, "Of course, maybe he has other True Artifacts hidden away... who would easily show their treasures at the bottom of their chest? Even Sect disciples are cautious, let alone soone who lives on the edge of a saber?"
Then her eyes lit up as she looked at Feng Jun thoughtfully asking, "Could it be you discovered sothing?"
"No," Feng Jun shook his head expressionlessly, "With so many powerful beings unable to find anything, how could I discover sothing."
Yi Jue looked at him suspiciously. For so reason, she always felt this guy might be hiding sothing.
But the next mont, she collected herself, "Well, shall we check his five hideouts?"
"Okay," Feng Jun nodded again.
At this mont, a thought ssage reached his mind, "Did you discover sothing but are worried about being noticed by the ambusher? If so, blink your left eye three tis."
Feng Jun was taken aback, then blinked his left eye twice.
Two tis... what the heck is this! Immortal Yi Jue was a bit frustrated, feeling itchy inside.
Yet she also couldn’t be certain if anyone was secretly watching. Practitioners of the Seven Gates and Eighteen Paths were indeed very confident, but thinking they could see through all the techniques of Tianqin’s practitioners would be arrogance, not confidence.
The two of them took two more days to investigate all five residences of Immortal Jiu Cai.
The delay wasn’t just because Feng Jun conducted a thorough investigation. Mainly, it was because the several secret realm clans from the Yi Yun Plate sent people to enthusiastically welco Immortal Yi Jue.
There was no choice; Immortal Yi Jue had trouble in Yi Yun and almost died, so the local clans had to pay their respects, lest they beco a target of Spirit Plant Path, which would be troubleso.
Previously, when the Jinwu Sect and Spirit Plant Path conducted a large-scale search in Yi Yun, these clans eagerly cooperated. But at that ti, Immortal Yi Jue wasn’t easy to approach—everyone looked like a criminal to her, and the secret realm clans could only reluctantly give up.
This ti, Immortal Yi Jue ca alone, and the secret realm clans saw an opportunity. As for Feng Jun, who was with her, everyone basically ignored him.
They also understood that Feng Jun, having caught Yi Jue’s attention, was certainly no simple character. Moreover, rumors had it that the ambusher set up a grand formation mainly to capture soone from the lower realm, but no one connected that person to the one before them.
That person was reportedly swept into the Void, nine out of ten unlikely to return, while Feng Jun bore the aura of just having advanced. Even with the most vivid imagination, it wouldn’t connect the two.
Yi Jue naturally wouldn’t complicate matters further. It wasn’t just because she wanted to block news.
In her view, Feng Jun’s deduction ability was not only a rare resource but also could help her improve her own deduction level and skills. Many people had already occupied a lot of his ti, and if more appeared, her interests wouldn’t be safeguarded.
Cultivators are never selfless, and when it cos to one’s own interests, they certainly strive to protect them fiercely.
Therefore, she introduced Feng Jun as a deduction expert she found, stating his deduction ability far surpassed his Cultivation Level. She was unwilling to let the ambusher roam free, so she brought him to try his skills.
Two days later, True Immortal Yi Jue left with Feng Jun and once again entered Yi Yun’s dense forest. However, this ti they entered at a location thirty thousand miles away from the site of the attack.
Feng Jun didn’t suggest returning just like that and said, "Let’s walk around other places to avoid falling into a trap again. What do you think?"
True Immortal Yi Jue agreed. After the attack, she obtained another life-saving item from the path of the Spirit Plant, supposedly fearless of ambushes. But it never hurts to be cautious; she did not wish to find the mastermind through the ordeal of an ambush.
In the following five days, the two first went to the Yiyao Plate, then teleported to the Hot Spring Plate. After playing for two days, they teleported again to the Honggu Plate, and finally, teleported directly to the Blazing Fla Plate from Honggu.
Feng Jun had never been to the Hot Spring and Honggu Plates, and the purpose of this tour was nothing more than to leave more footprints. In case of future events, there would be more options.
Master Yuan’s influence in the Hot Spring Plate was not small, but he was in seclusion, and in fact, Feng Jun didn’t expect him to entertain them—since they wanted to leave footprints, keeping a low profile was better.
During this ti, Yi Jue also seed very wary of possible surveillance and spoke little with Feng Jun. Even when they spoke occasionally, it was very formal, and she didn’t even ntion his encounters in the Void.
Their experience of going to the Blazing Fla wasn’t pleasant. After encountering an inspection, Feng Jun produced his VIP card; the Golden Core Master in charge checked it, and even showed a look of disgust.
Feng Jun didn’t want to argue with them and said he ca to seek Elder Qinghuang and understand the situation with True Immortal Wan Qing.
The Golden Core Master couldn’t hold back, "Do you even know who arranged this VIP card for you? Then why did you harm him?"
"Speak properly!" Feng Jun was sowhat annoyed. He could understand the other party’s feelings, but... he was also a victim, "I ca because I’m concerned about him. If you think I shouldn’t be, please say so plainly, and I’ll leave imdiately!"
The Golden Core Master was montarily stifled but still didn’t completely calm down, "Since you know you should be concerned, why didn’t you co earlier!"
"I just got out of the Void, alright!" Feng Jun also stared angrily at the other party, "I must correct your perception; the relationship between True Immortal Wan Qing and is not sothing you can comnt on!"
Both of them were irate, resulting in a commotion that attracted onlookers, eventually alarming Elder Qinghuang.
Elder Qinghuang was still quite clear about Feng Jun’s whereabouts. True Immortal Jiu Wei was at White Pebble Beach and had inford the Sect about his return, and since Jinwu Sect had people stationed in Yi Yun, they also fed back the news of his arrival without delay.
Elder Qinghuang was not surprised by Feng Jun’s arrival and could understand his feelings, expressing that after this incident, Wan Qing’s path instantly narrowed. Before this, he had developed very steadily and was well-regarded for his potential to achieve great success.
What he said was true, but he also wanted Feng Jun to understand it was hard to reciprocate—since the incident happened, if they don’t settle on a sentint, isn’t it an even greater injustice?
Then he stated that the Sect was planning a treatnt plan for Wan Qing, though specific details were inconvenient to disclose—as Feng Jun had expected.
Finally, Elder Qinghuang asked, "Since you’ve returned from the Void, could you help find Wan Qing’s physical body?"
He didn’t ask Feng Jun for details about how he entered and exited the Void, because the ssage from Jiu Wei had already arrived—Feng Jun was unwilling to disclose the details and stated it was a "Sect secret technique", so if one wishes to speak, they do, otherwise he wouldn’t proactively inquire.
However, his request to "retrieve the physical body" was a bit difficult for others.
Seeing that he wasn’t pressing for details, Feng Jun felt inclined to explain, "Though we were attacked together, we entered at different tis. The Void changes constantly, and according to the ’Void Randomness’ theory, I’m highly unlikely to see his physical body."
Elder Qinghuang blinked and asked again, "Can’t you leave a ’Spatial Anchor Position’ in the Void?"
Feng Jun gave a bitter smile, "If it were so easy to leave a Spatial Anchor Position in the Void, it wouldn’t be as daunting as it is now, would it? I was fortunate to return because I carried a spatial attribute earth cultivator with ; otherwise, I couldn’t even retrieve a Spirit Stone."
"A spatial attribute earth cultivator? That indeed is rare," Elder Qinghuang nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"It’s rare that you were able to carry one around. Heaven indeed didn’t doom you, and it’s truly a blessing of fortune... You could try to look for Wan Qing’s physical body. If you can retrieve it quickly, this disaster might beco an opportunity."
True Immortal Yi Jue couldn’t help but object, "Actually, for Wan Qing, the current state might also be an opportunity."
What she spoke of was beyond Feng Jun’s knowledge; the inner chanisms of their seven factions were more privately known to them.
"Fairy Yi Jue also makes a valid point, but ultimately, his path has beco narrower, significantly so," Elder Qinghuang didn’t deny this, indicating that Jinwu Sect indeed has its own secrets. "If Wan Qing’s physical body can be recovered, his path would widen significantly."
"I’m afraid I can’t do that," Feng Jun shook his head, speaking apologetically, "I’m not sure when I can return to the Void, and the flow of ti there is clearly much faster. I’m afraid the Nascent Soul’s physical body may not endure for long."
No matter how others probed, he would never admit he could freely enter the Void; this was very important.
