Feng Jun heard that his guess was fairly accurate, finally let out a sigh of relief, and took out his mobile phone.

Just as he was about to tap on it, he made a joke, "This time there won’t be another ambush, will there?"

"Hold on a second," came another thought, this time from True Immortal Hua Sheng, "Let’s check the spatial fluctuations."

Feng Jun abruptly stopped, blinking his eyes: What just happened?

Someone over there was checking, and soon, the space not far from Feng Jun twisted, and then True Immortal Yi Jue walked out.

She gave Feng Jun a glance, slightly nodded, "Looks alright, how did you get out?"

"Let’s talk about it later," Feng Jun shook his head and then asked her intently, "Have the attackers been captured?"

True Immortal Yi Jue shook her head, swept her horsetail whisk skillfully around his waist, "Let’s go back and talk."

Feng Jun felt a sense of unease, but he was eager to know about the others’ situation, so he still opened his mobile phone.

When he reappeared, it was in the small courtyard, and then he was surprised to find, "Yun Shan advanced?"

Mi Yunsan had amazingly reached the third level of Qi Refinement, at her age, considering her aptitude, it wasn’t slow at all.

But what made Feng Jun happier was that, since she could advance, it meant she hadn’t suffered any grievances in life.

Having heard of his return, Sister Hong, Zhang Caixin, and the others hurried over as well. Most people looked in decent shape, but there was a bit of mental gloom, likely because of his absence.

Just then, someone outside the door spoke loudly, "Hua Sheng from Yuangang Sect, Chen Xi from Xuanhuang Sect, Wu Xiu from Taixu Sect, Jiu Wei from Jinwu Sect... here to visit Mountain Master Feng."

"That’s more than a table of Mahjong," Feng Jun raised an eyebrow, "Hold on a moment, when coming in, please come slowly, be careful the space doesn’t collapse... Trouble Red Sleeve Friend to go guide them first."

While speaking, he took out a Spirit Beast Bag, shook it, and released a person, "This time I managed to escape, thanks to this little friend Liu Yiyi... From now on, she is under my protection."

As Liu Yiyi landed, she saw a bunch of cultivators, quite a few in the Qi Refinement Realm, but also several Golden Core Masters, actually not many Dust-Free Masters; the key was this palace-attired beauty... was she a Nascent Soul True Immortal?

In her mind, she was puzzled, but her hands moved quickly, raised her hand to cup her fist and said, "Liu Yiyi, a small cultivator from Kongming Mountain, pays respects to the seniors and fellow Daoists."

True Immortal Yi Jue sized her up with a glance, "Pure Yin constitution, innate fetal breath... not bad, barely qualifies for protection."

The few True Immortals who entered also wanted to hear Feng Jun talk about what exactly he encountered.

But Feng Jun said, no rush for this matter, you guys tell me first, what exactly was with the ambush I encountered?

I was not the only one attacked, but also two True Immortals from Jinwu Sect and Spirit Plant Path, and it’s been three months, yet no one was captured?

True Immortal Jiu Wei’s face sank, he sighed softly, "Senior Brother Wan Qing’s physical body was damaged, only his Nascent Soul escaped."

"What?" Feng Jun couldn’t quite believe his ears, "They actually dared to lay hands on True Immortal Wan Qing?"

"It wasn’t that they were too ruthless," True Immortal Wu Nan glanced sideways at True Immortal Yi Jue, "Mainly they couldn’t hold back..."

Originally, after Feng Jun disappeared that day, True Immortal Yi Jue said to wait for reinforcements, but suddenly felt a twinge of panic, thought carefully, basically could confirm it was Void’s aura, couldn’t help but quietly notify Wan Qing with her divine sense that reinforcements might not arrive.

Upon hearing Feng Jun might have entered the Void, True Immortal Wan Qing immediately exploded, furiously attacking the formation, swearing he’d deal with the other party one way or another, definitely not allowing them to take away the formation intact.

Such a big formation wouldn’t be simply composed of Array Plates, certainly needed setting up. As long as someone inside the array attacks tightly, when the other party withdraws, there’s no way they could take the entire formation away.

With a deduction expert like Yi Jue, any traces the other party leaves behind can easily be deduced. If they left him with an incomplete formation array, even concealing the secrets of Heaven would be futile – such a powerful formation cannot possibly lack origins.

With Wan Qing’s outburst, the True Immortals outside the formation were also annoyed, saying they originally intended to spare them, but since they spoke like this, so be it, they should stay.

The ensuing result, there was no need to say, the Aerial Prohibition and Blockade Formation was just a description, in reality, setting up such a large array couldn’t merely serve the purpose of trapping people. Originally, the formation tried to teleport Feng Jun away, but it was disrupted by Yi Jue.

The array attacked internally, and soon, Wan Qing couldn’t hold out, but he still refused to give up the counterattack.

In short, Yi Jue defended while Wan Qing attacked, both True Immortals being veterans, when Wan Qing tired, they would swap roles of attack and defense.

The great battle lasted for half a day, the other party couldn’t hold on any longer, they might not have known Feng Jun entered the Void, assuming reinforcements couldn’t arrive, the key was that in the Yiyun plate, there were quite a few secret realm clans, such a big commotion would eventually draw spectators.

They wanted to retreat, the formation frantically attacked for a while, and then they were going to withdraw. But who would have thought Wan Qing the True Immortal had anticipated this and counter-attacked just as they were putting away their formation.

However, it was unfortunately quite unlucky, as the opponents were also very cunning. Their initial dismantling of the formation was just a decoy, and they fiercely launched a counterattack, triggering the spatial fluctuations of the aerial prohibition, engulfing Wanqing the True Immortal into the void.

Thankfully, Wan Qing the True Immortal was experienced and knowledgeable. At the instant his body was swept into the void, his Nascent Soul actively parted from his body, and Yi Jue the True Immortal, seeing this, hurriedly took action to protect him.

Creating such a mistake, Yi Jue the True Immortal had no way to counterattack the opponents and could only watch them leave, unable even to find remnants of the formation.

After the incident, Jinwu Sect and Spirit Plant Path were furious, searching extensively across the Yi Yun region, and invited experts to deduce. Eventually, it was almost certain that the mastermind seemed to be a loose cultivator named Jiu Cai from the Yi Yun region.

This result was hardly satisfactory. How could a mere loose cultivator True Immortal set up such an astonishing formation?

Even if he had some fortuitous encounter, controlling such a formation wasn’t a one-person job, especially since both Yi Jue and Wan Qing could confirm that there was at least one female True Immortal present.

Honestly speaking, daring to simultaneously target two major forces among the seven sects and eighteen paths could hardly be the work of a mere loose cultivator.

And indeed, the facts proved true. The expert continuously deduced Jiu Cai the True Immortal for days, breached the concealed heavenly secrets, only to be astonished to find this person had already perished.

So, exactly who set up this situation? It’s truly very difficult to ascertain.

After over a month of struggling, no results were found, and Yi Jue the True Immortal also felt there was no face left. Originally, she wanted to continue the investigation, but considering there’s no one stationed at the White Pebble Beach, she returned specifically to guard it for Feng Jun.

Many people were worried, thinking that once Feng Jun entered the void, he might never return, or who knows when he might return. However, Yi Jue the True Immortal had a lot of faith in him—because he possessed space supernatural power!

Anyway, as long as no one deduced that Feng Jun fell, it’s unlikely someone would attempt anything with White Pebble Beach in the short term, especially when the atmosphere among comrades is proactive in protection.

Yi Jue worried that someone might use the protection of the atmosphere as a pretense to meddle with White Pebble Beach, so she rushed back. Otherwise, it would be quite simple for her to appoint a True Immortal from Spirit Plant Path for this task, freeing her to pursue the enemy.

However, Jinwu Sect was already very invested in pursuing the enemy, so another person was unnecessary.

The desire to protect the comrades’ atmosphere wasn’t solely Yi Jue’s alone. Wu Xiu, Jiu Wei, Hua Sheng, and Chen Xi the True Immortals came to White Pebble Beach to maintain order, and seeing Yi Jue back, they chose to cooperate on the side.

Feng Jun, upon hearing the bad news about Wan Qing, felt very distressed, "Wan Qing the True Immortal... is there still hope for salvation?"

Yi Jue the True Immortal did not speak, but instead looked at Jiu Wei the True Immortal.

Jiu Wei the True Immortal grinned, "How would I know? However, at Jinwu Sect, we emphasize resilience in the face of adversity, rebirth from nirvana."

Feng Jun collected his thoughts, gaining some assurance. At this moment, he very much wanted to visit Yi Yun again to find out who dared to plot against him from behind. Revenge was indeed his belief.

However... some matters at White Pebble Beach needed to be sorted out first; life truly doesn’t allow recklessness.

Before he could voice his question, Chen Xi the True Immortal had already guessed his intent and straightforwardly stated: "In these three months, under our watch, White Pebble Beach has been well-maintained. You can rest assured."

Then, almost casually, he added, "Also, we are quite curious, how did you enter the void, and how did you come out?"

Faced with such a candid question, Feng Jun felt a bit displeased. Does one still have privacy in life?

But on a second thought, realizing that the order at White Pebble Beach during his absence was indeed well-kept and not to be taken for granted, the presence of the True Immortals played a positive, active role.

If an evil individual had been in charge, they might have performed a soul search on Sister Hong, so indeed, learning to appreciate is crucial.

So he briefly spoke about the void but didn’t mention why he entered it—in fact, he wasn’t entirely certain himself. He only knew that if the energy points within the Stone Ring were abundant, he might not be trapped in the void, but the principle was beyond him.

As for the different flow rates of time, he could mention it but only stated he stayed in the void for more than three months.

Everyone could sense Feng Jun’s reluctance to share too much about his void experience.

Then he did mention, the reason he managed to leave the void was due to finding a Big Stone—a trick summarized by predecessors, which he should have known.

Thus, he left the void this way, truly feeling full of strategy.

As he narrated, no one interrupted, the True Immortals quietly listened until he remarked he was done, "... Anyway, being able to return is fortuitous; the void is truly terrifying, the despair at the time..."

Yi Jue the True Immortal then asked, "What do you think was the time flow rate difference in the void?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
