Capítulo 2177: Chapter 2179: Another Beam of Light
Feng Jun spent more than an hour fully charging the energy of the Stone Ring. Then he calculated again, feeling confident that his plan was correct, so he took out his mobile phone and selected the footprints of the ambush point just now.
Re-entering Tianqin, he returned to the Hidden Formation, and at this mont, the Spirit Beast Bag had just fallen to the ground.
He swiped open his phone, and while the screen was flashing, picked up the Spirit Beast Bag and put away the Hidden Formation. This all took less than a second, and Yi Jue True Immortal had already Blinked back.
In her left hand, she held that Nascent Soul Middle Phase cultivator, her right hand drew a circle in the air to erase any traces, then suddenly pulled out a horsetail whisk and wrapped it around Feng Jun’s waist.
Without hesitation, Feng Jun tapped the “Geng Zi Yuan” footprint, and together with Yi Jue True Immortal, they vanished from everyone’s sight in an instant.
Even after they disappeared, the people of Lingmu Sect hadn’t reacted to what happened. Only two Golden Core Level Combat Lingmus responded quickly, their branches and leaves rapidly sweeping toward where Feng Jun and Yi Jue had fought.
But it was too late. When they captured nothing but air, Feng Jun and Yi Jue had already disappeared several miles away.
About a second later, soone started shouting desperately, “Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!”
By this ti, Feng Jun had already landed with Yi Jue, and he set down the Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivator in his hand, “He’s already dead.”
“I know, killed by Space Power,” Yi Jue True Immortal was indifferent to it, “You’ve gained another Divine Light of Immortality.”
“More is fine,” Feng Jun shrugged indifferently, “Earlier, your True Artifact was quite useful, it helped block others. If they had rushed in, it wouldn’t have been easy for to handle… thanks.”
That was the truth. His ability to observe the battlefield was strong. While charging energy and reviewing the fight in the Earth Realm earlier, he realized that Yi Jue was sowhat worried about him, blocking most lower-level cultivators to prevent unexpected situations.
Of course, it wasn’t because she didn’t trust him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have joined him almost simultaneously without worrying about the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.
Ultimately, it’s a form of camaraderie; knowing he was relatively weaker, she tried to help resolve so unforeseen factors.
If he hadn’t realized this care, it would have been fine, but since he did, at least expressing gratitude was the basic courtesy.
“That’s normal, worthy of a thank you?” Yi Jue waved her hand, appearing a bit impatient, but what she thought in her heart was uncertain. She curiously asked, “Just now, what was that… divine sense?”
She was also in the habit of “reviewing” after battles. During the ambush, her focus wasn’t mainly on Feng Jun, but being a “multitasking” master, it was quite normal to allocate a minor focus on him — she was genuinely curious about what he would do.
Now she recalled subtly, there was an extrely slight fluctuation at that ti, perhaps a more advanced divine sense.
Proving that cultivation level determines perspective, Feng Jun mostly relied on guessing that the big boss used divine sense, but Yi Jue, about to reach the Out-of-Body stage, could sense it was a higher-level divine sense.
The big boss’s usual divine sense could cover her, even when scanning the void, Yi Jue wouldn’t notice, but once entering battle mode, divine sense couldn’t go unnoticed.
“Divine sense?” Feng Jun blinked innocently at her without speaking.
“Just pretend!” Yi Jue True Immortal seeing this, knew that rascal didn’t want to answer, but she hadn’t thought he carried a big boss around; she assud it was so secret technique of his sect.
Now, she’s better at controlling her curiosity — things possibly involving your sect’s secrets, I won’t ask, but if you can answer, I’ll dig to the bottom.
So she decisively changed the topic, “Are you really going back? Cang Jing can co out by herself.”
“I’m definitely going back,” Feng Jun waved the mobile phone in his hand, “If you have nothing else, then I’ll leave, need to return before the Wood User retracts completely.”
Lingmu Sect losing two True Immortals at once is by no ans a small issue, especially within their subsidiary mountain gate, it’s an open provocation to Lingmu Sect, triggering a definite carpet search.
Feng Jun and the others had anticipated this result and discussed it with the Wood User.
In such a case, the Wood User couldn’t tail him anymore. It would fully retract in that sector, not abandoning it, but shrinking into a small area was inevitable.
Feng Jun returning now would surely trigger space fluctuations, so he agreed with the Wood User that after leaving, he would quickly go back, using the last mont before the Lingmu Sect began a thorough search to ask the Wood User to cover the space fluctuation again.
The Wood User agreed to his request, and after he gifted the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit, the Wood User’s attitude seed to change, less taciturn, speaking without sharpness.
Yi Jue thought about it for a mont, then gently said two words, “Take care!”
Feng Jun smiled, “You take care too, after all, you’ve revealed your identity, with two True Immortals missing, be careful Lingmu Sect cos knocking.”

“I’m much better off,” Yi Jue replied dismissively, “at least I have Lingmu Sect protecting , but you really need to be careful.”
“I’m way better at running away than you,” Feng Jun smiled at her, swiped his phone, and instantly disappeared.
Yi Jue was stunned for a good half a minute before shaking her head and pulling out a communication paper crane, “Shou Zhong, co out…”
Feng Jun returned again within less than three minutes, choosing a forest agreed upon with the Wood User.
The Wood User shielded the spatial fluctuations and transmitted a weak divine sense, “Don’t move here. Your and Yi Jue’s identities have been exposed, and a dozen True Immortals are scanning with divine sense, they’ll be here soon.”
“It’s been such a short ti, and we’ve been exposed?” Feng Jun was sowhat surprised, “Didn’t she disrupt the aura?”
In the days here, they were always very careful to clear their aura, trying their best not to leave traces for others to find. Even when leaving, Yi Jue didn’t forget to clear it up.
“Her aura is on the key list, even a little residue can be imdiately traced,” the Wood User was probably bored, so he had the mind to chat with him, “As for you, your teleportation divine ability is also quite famous.”
As the two chatted, one divine sense after another swept over, and the air seed to instantly grow heavy.
The Wood User said to leave quickly, but the process of leaving was extrely slow, only removing the shield from Feng Jun deep into the night. Before leaving, he even covered Feng Jun’s body with a thin layer of wood attribute aura.
However, this guy had a mouth on him, even while helping, he muttered, “Can’t even hide your aura, it’s a wonder you survived until now.”
Can I just run away? Feng Jun rolled his eyes, couldn’t help but grumble inwardly: You’re not slick when you run away, yet you dare comnt on ?
Speaking of which, not even the Initial Golden Core Stage cultivators, among the Golden Core High Stage ones, people who can hide their aura are very few, right?
Anyway, the Wood User is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. Feng Jun is still very appreciative of his help in concealing, and secretly resolves in his mind: I’ll definitely learn a technique for simulating aura later.
He probably isn’t very competent at this aspect, before he lived cautiously, but was either hiding or running away. He never really focused on changing his aura.
In fact, his collected tos do have dharma for changing aura, but he thought he wouldn’t need it and never practiced it—by this reasoning, am I also a pragmatist?
After the Wood User left, Feng Jun thought it over, didn’t go far, chose a clearing, and tossed a defense array disk to rest.
By nearly dawn, it began to rain from the sky. Feng Jun used Blink, heading straight for Sun City.
His current Blink level can already cover two hundred li, but it just consus too much blue. After blinking seventy or eighty tis, over half of his spiritual energy gets depleted. He must stop to replenish or it would be too dangerous.
He was just over thirty thousand li from Sun City, and by noon, he reached the place agreed upon with Elder Cang Jing.
Although separated by thirty thousand li, it was still raining overhead. Feng Jun entered the simple lodge, “This lodge is a bit conspicuous, we need to change it.”
They switched to another lodge, slightly better than the previous one, but still only about half an acre, still quite humble.
The lodge was still in the suburbs of Sun City. The two sat in the courtyard, looking up at the light rain. True Immortal Cang Jing cheerfully humd, “The weather is really nice, I especially like rainy days, facing battle like this, I’m not nervous at all.”
“Do all Xuanshui Sect cultivators like rain?” Feng Jun also likes being in the rain, feeling a surge of goodwill, “I especially enjoy drinking wine in the rain.”
“Not all Xuanshui Sect cultivators like rain,” True Immortal Cang Jing casually replied, then looked at him, “Enjoy drinking in the rain… Is it true? You’re not just teasing , are you?”
“Of course it’s true,” Feng Jun replied casually, then added, “It’s a sha we can’t drink now.”
Being ready for battle at all tis, you really can’t drink.
While the two were chatting, soone knocked on the door. Feng Jun went to open it, a familiar face!
The East Gate Lao San had a spiritual qi shield up, partly to prevent rain and partly to prevent surprise attacks. He spoke earnestly, “Lingmu Sect inspection, everyone co out… Whoa, it’s you?”
“It’s ,” Feng Jun nodded, replied impatiently, “You’re still at it?”
“It’s really not my fault,” East Gate Lao San knew the other had so background and dared not be negligent, yet he thought the other wouldn’t dare to take out a luxurious lodge, so their background shouldn’t be too solid, probably unrelated to this major event.
So he lowered his voice, “Sothing big happened, if you haven’t heard, don’t bla for underestimating you.”
