Feng Jun didn’t know the reaction from the Lingmu Sect, but when the Big Boss ntioned he could obscure the marks, Feng Jun couldn’t help but sigh, "Why didn’t you say it earlier?"
"Does it matter if I say it sooner or later?" The Big Boss replied indifferently, "These marks need to be erased anyway... And erasing them takes ti. Do you want to be discovered by these weaklings like Yi Jue?"
"Yi Jue... has finally beco a weakling?" Feng Jun raised his eyebrows, slightly ecstatic. From the mouth of the Big Boss, he always heard "ants," and now Yi Jue is upgraded to "weakling," he felt a bit gleeful.
"Anyway, I’ll leave it to you, senior, to help erase these marks."
The Big Boss showed so frustration, "These marks are indeed quite nurous... actually, most are trash."
Feng Jun was not affected by the word "trash" at all, although the Big Boss’s concept of trash and his idea of it had generational, if not cultivation-level, gaps.
But those kinds of marks, if he took a trip back to Earth, would completely disappear. They exist purely because he didn’t have ti to return after grabbing Tiegu’s cave. He didn’t think dealing with them would be difficult.
Of course, since the Big Boss was willing to help deal with them, he could also save so energy points. Why not?
It proved that the Big Boss dealing with those marks wasn’t much slower than him. The next mont, it announced, "All dealt with."
"So fast?" Feng Jun was a bit stunned, but promptly, a person flashed in front of him with a Golden Core High Stage cultivation level, raised a hand, greeted respectfully, and spoke, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Feng, Elder Qinghuang invites you."
Thinking of Elder Qinghuang made Feng Jun’s head hurt, so he waved it off, "Forget it, I’m just passing through. I’m about to leave, no need to disturb Elder Qinghuang... Actually, I teleported in the wrong direction, not sure if you believe that?"
The Golden Core High Stage cultivator was stunned right away: You an... you ca here by accident?
He almost exploded, knowing this is the Jinwu Sanctum’s Blazing Fla Plate, not Yiyao, let alone Yi Yun?
But he couldn’t explode, and he had to endure it, even if the other party was just an Initial Golden Core Stage—this person had countless Divine Skills, countless True Immortal friends within the sect, and he could even ignore Elder Qinghuang’s invitation, what right did he have to explode?
At this mont, a long laugh echoed from ahead, "Haha, is it Brother Feng who ca, why so secretive?"
"Where was I being secretive?" Feng Jun heard the voice and laughed as well, "Congratulations on the successful upgrade, True Immortal Wu Nan!"
A flash of a figure, True Immortal Wu Nan appeared before Feng Jun, his aura flickering slightly. Clearly, his realm was not stable, but he bead with joy, "I’ve been out of closed cultivation for just three days and heard you are about to auction in Yiyao, was planning to support you."
Feng Jun shook his head, "No need to support that, I won’t be there. If you want any Void Materials, just speak up, no need to bid against outsiders."
Yes, he already thought of True Immortal Wu Nan as one of his own, although their friendship... was honestly just so-so. He liked Wu Nan’s personality—forever bent on thorough revenge, even cursed by the Domain.
This straightforward character, Feng Jun admired very much, as for the reason... perhaps it’s because he’s more reserved himself.
He considered his reservation as necessary, carrying so many responsibilities, he couldn’t afford to be carefree, even if he wanted to.
Anyway, what Wu Nan did was what he wished he could do but didn’t achieve, so deep down he was willing to support this person.
Wu Nan also appreciated his attitude greatly, "Haha, thanks Mountain Master Feng. Many say you’re hard to deal with; from my perspective, that’s not the case. I wonder how such rumors spread."
Clearly, due to the cultivation level improvent, his whole deanor had bettered considerably, visibly more open-minded.
But soon, he was furious, "I heard about the matter with Brother Wan Qing, how far have you hunted the culprit? If manpower is needed, do let know."
"It’s basically confird," Feng Jun responded solemnly, "Are you participating in the auction to obtain so Void Material? If I still have it, I’ll give it directly to you. Just so happens we’ll visit a place for vengeance for True Immortal Wan Qing."
"Materials... will speak of it later," True Immortal Wu Nan hesitated slightly, didn’t say what he needed, instead angrily declared, "Avenging Brother Wan Qing is more important than anything; where are we heading now?"
"Wait, count in," the adjacent space rippled, Elder Qinghuang tore through the space and arrived. He originally sought Feng Jun to check on the matter’s progress and inquire about the Void Materials, so his Divine Sense had been monitoring Feng Jun.
Finding that Feng Jun ignored the invitation, he initially didn’t care, but upon hearing the Wan Qing case was almost unearthed, he couldn’t hold back and directly rushed over, "Feng Xiaoyou, hold on, I’ll contact Sister Qing Ji, let’s all go together."
Not sure how he contacted her, barely ten minutes passed before space rippled again, a blaze appeared in front of everyone, then transford into human form. It was Elder Qing Ji who hurried over from the main sect.
She glanced at Feng Jun, solemnly inquiring, "Have you found the true culprit? Or... obtained evidence from the Wanhuan Sect?"
"I’ll leave the matter of the Wanhuan Sect to the True Sage of Jinwu," Feng Jun answered solemnly. Since he had not obtained any confessions, he was unsure whether Ouyang Beishan and Xing Shuo were involved in Yi Yun’s ambush, but looking at the formation, their suspicion was still considerable.
However, he really wasn’t in a position to intervene in this matter, "I just found another group of suspects."
Elder Qing Ji felt a bit resigned upon hearing the words "True Sage." In truth, she found You Xuan True Sage’s excessive caution sowhat frustrating, but it wasn’t within her power to change things, and she certainly couldn’t criticize her own elders in front of others.
So she nodded, "Then... is it the Lingmu Sect?"
Feng Jun’s dealings with the Lingmu Sect hadn’t circulated much, but Elder Qing Ji had been paying attention to the matter, especially since the Lingmu Sect not only sought out Yi Jue in the Spirit Plant Sect but also traveled to the Ice Plains to find Feng Jun, only to be rejected by two True Immortals from Jinwu.
It was not surprising that she guessed correctly.
"Yes, I have material evidence," Feng Jun nodded, "Now I need to go to the Spirit Plant Sect to find Immortal Yi Jue and ask for her assistance."
Elder Qing Ji raised her eyebrows and spoke bluntly, "Jinwu has victims too. Why go so far afield?"
Feng Jun glanced at her and replied with a smile, "Your sect’s True Sage is already investigating; I dare not trouble them further."
True Immortal Wu Nan instinctively nodded, "You’re right; we can’t keep troubling Our Ancestor You Xuan with every matter."
Elder Qinghuang shot him a helpless glance, "If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak. Do you think this would tire Our Ancestor?"
Understanding the sentint, Qing Ji gave him a look and then slightly nodded, "Alright, let’s go now. I heard Feng Xiaoyou’s teleportation divine ability is quite exquisite; would I be fortunate enough to witness it?"
"Elder is too kind; it’s truly my honor," Feng Jun politely raised a hand in salute, "I’m fortunate to et you two elders who don’t mind, and I ask for your valuable advice."
His humility was genuine, though it was quite normal. As a cultivator, he couldn’t continuously challenge the heavens, the earth, and the air; so courtesy was necessary.
In the next mont, he was already taking the three to Geng Zi Yuan.
Yi Jue, Cang Jing, and True Immortal Shou Zhong were idly chatting when, suddenly, several people appeared in front of them, causing them to be montarily stunned. Fortunately, the trio was within a protective formation, so they weren’t caught off guard.
Upon recognizing the arrivals, Yi Jue was slightly taken aback, "Mountain Master Feng’s influence... is truly remarkable."
True Immortal Qing Ji arrived in a daze, recognizing the place upon calculating with her fingers, couldn’t help but nod, "In an instant, spanning billions of miles, your divine ability is beyond my capacity to advise."
True Immortal Qinghuang also lowered his fingers from calculating, nodding appreciatively, "The precision of Feng Xiaoyou’s divine ability has surpassed ordinary True Immortal tactics; I sincerely admire it!"
He then raised his hand in a salute towards the barrier, "Greetings, Elder Yi Jue, apologies for the intrusion."
After exchanging courtesies, True Immortal Shou Zhong invited them into a small courtyard for discussions. Though the space was sowhat cramped, it had been specially arranged, making it quite challenging for an Ergence Stage cultivator to probe.
Once inside, both sides had communication needs, but at the sa ti, there were also matters to avoid discussing. For a mont, nobody knew what to say, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
In the end, it was Elder Yi Jue from the Spirit Plant Sect who spoke first, "Mountain Master Feng, after leaving the Lingmu Sect, why did you go to Jinwu? We waited for you here eagerly for several days."
"Well... it’s a long story," Feng Jun hesitated briefly before bluntly stating, "Basically, I broke into Tiegu’s cave and took away many items. I needed a place to break the marks on them, so I went to Blazing Fla. I felt it was safer there."
This reason was quite strong, as Blazing Fla was indeed Jinwu’s sanctum, second only to the subsidiary mountain gate.
"Wait," Immortal Yi Jue blinked, "Tiegu’s cave... you went into the forbidden ground?"
"Yes," Feng Jun nodded, "His cave is in the forbidden ground."
"Forbidden ground..." True Immortal Cang Jing’s mouth twitched, "Such an exciting event, and you didn’t take ."
Elders Qinghuang and Qing Ji knew Elder Cang Jing, and although they were surprised that the True Immortal of Xuanshui Sect got involved, they understood sowhat since Feng Jun had been ambushed at the Ice Plains.
Feng Jun, however, did not want her to change the subject and stated very straightforwardly, "I got hold of the Speculator."
