Chapter 2525: Chapter 2517: The Big Boss’s Attention
Feng Jun and Yi Jue took another five days to travel, but in those five days, they gained plenty.
They found that there are indeed three places with bloodlines matching the Dong Family, and they’re situated on two different landmasses.
Two of those places already have clan sizes reaching over a thousand people, and the most crucial point is that both families moved here over fifteen hundred years ago. One of them, with the surname Meng, openly stated their origin from Jinwu.
The third family has only over two hundred people and is surnamed Xiao, and they moved here nine hundred years ago, which was the time when Little Winter Melon was killed by Shou Xin.
Yi Jue found it somewhat strange, "It’s really rare that Lingmu Sect didn’t eliminate Little Winter Melon’s family to silence them."
"At that time, no one thought things would develop to this point, right?" Feng Jun replied casually, "The Six Pillar Formation is very impressive, but claiming it’s worth the effort to silence someone is a bit too much... After all, Little Winter Melon died for protecting Lingmu Sect’s reputation."
In essence, they were already discussing their conjectures as if they were conclusions.
However, there was someone set on confirming the truth, and that was Luo Shiqi. He instructed his True Immortals, "I don’t care what methods you use, you must find out whether this Xiao family knows about the Six Pillar Formation from Xin Mo!"
Their ancestors’ formations being misused is a shame the Luo Family could never accept.
They were willing to do this, Feng Jun and Yi Jue didn’t mind at all, for anyway, their exploration had virtually come to an end—this matter was most likely something Lingmu Sect collaborated with others on.
As for Lingmu Sect acting alone? That’s impossible. Not only does Yi Jue believe this, Han Hai True Sage and Wei Sancai also agree that, looking through Lingmu Sect’s resources, no one should be capable of mastering the cross-domain Space Annihilation Technique.
At this moment, the Luo Family finally listed down the suspects for their deduction, and shockingly, the list turned into tens of thousands of focal suspects. They were too embarrassed to show the list to Feng Jun, but Luo Yuanwu informed them that they would go to the Xiao Family to conduct Soul Search.
Moran and Qing Que could easily perform Soul Search, but Feng Jun and Yi Jue chose not to. It’s not that they were soft-hearted; actually, Yi Jue wouldn’t hesitate with such matters—purely because they felt it was unnecessary.
Feng Jun expressed, "If you wish to perform Soul Search, go ahead. We’re not doing it because we have no conflict with the Dongmen Family, we just want to verify if this matter is related to Lingmu Sect."
"Is that so?" Luo Yuanwu was taken aback, "We thought you were worried that performing Soul Search on these people would alert Lingmu Sect and potentially startle them."
"Startle them... that should not be the case," Feng Jun chuckled, "They should have already departed from Lingmu Sect’s sight. Otherwise, if Lingmu Sect did such a significant undertaking, killing a few hundred to silence wouldn’t be difficult?"
"Then we will proceed," Luo Yuanwu knew they were not causing trouble for Feng Jun, so it didn’t matter, "It’s not that we’re malicious, but we can’t let those who desecrate ancestors get away. If it turns out to be them, we will exterminate them."
Feng Jun nodded, "I understand, we’ll be waiting for your news."
After the Luo Family left, he asked Yi Jue about her cultivation progress, "How’s the feeling of Emergence Stage... how’s the accumulation going?"
"Once I adjust my condition, I can push forward," Yi Jue answered casually, "But I still feel my grasp isn’t solid; I’ll wait a while longer. Once the Insect World matter ends and the Lingmu Sect issue is dealt with, I’ll focus on my secluded cultivation."
"The Lingmu Sect matter might not be resolved in the short term," Feng Jun had been cautious of those plotting against him, but knowing Lingmu Sect was involved paradoxically eased his mind—this power isn’t weak, but lacks vision.
His genuine concern was, "I just can’t figure out, which force is collaborating with them."
"Then shall we..." A cold glint flashed across Yi Jue’s eyes, "startle the snake?"
"Let the bullets fly first," Feng Jun responded casually, "Don’t you need some quiet time for recovery right now?"
Yi Jue understood he was trying to send her back to Lingzhi Sect, so she answered, "Kumu and Qinghuang need quiet time more than I do. By the way, have you ever thought about, why did Dong Wanting’s family leave Jinwu’s shelter, even when he died chasing Jinwu Sect’s traitors?"
"Doesn’t it say that kindness remains while the living, but when they perish, it’s as if the lamp has extinguished?" Feng Jun furrowed his brows slightly and asked with some doubt.
"He perished in the line of duty for the Sect," Yi Jue reiterated, "Such a meritorious individual, not to mention a True Immortal... even symbolically, Jinwu Sect should have ensured his clan’s smooth passage for at least a hundred years."
"True," Feng Jun nodded, realizing he had missed this logical flaw, which made his entire logic chain somewhat fragmented. He thought for a moment and asked unwillingly, "Was ’severing the mortal attachment’ too ruthless?"
"Even if severing the mortal attachment is ruthless, it shouldn’t lead to hostility, right? Moreover... going too ruthless on severing mortal ties leads to emotionless cultivation, which isn’t easy," Yi Jue’s eyes flashed a peculiarity, her tone softened slightly, "Actually, the truth is, what the Great Sun True Immortal stole was too sensitive..."
Yikes? Feng Jun’s thoughts were instantly led astray, "No matter how sensitive... isn’t it a cross-sect task for Jinwu?"
"What’s wrong with sect tasks?" Yi Jue shook her head, responding indifferently, "If he completes the task, he won’t be short on promises made to him. If he fails and his clan is around Jinwu, they won’t escape being frequently mentioned. Do you think this is good?"
"Let her continue speaking!" The Big Boss’s thought suddenly emerged in Feng Jun’s mind, extremely intense, so much so that he worried if Yi Jue would notice it, "This information is very useful to me!"
Feng Jun calmed himself and organized his thoughts, "I’m not a subordinate of Jinwu, does it matter if I think it’s good or not? Are you saying... Dong Wanting’s clan was driven away by Jinwu?"
Yi Jue shook her head, answering very straightforwardly, "I didn’t say that; I’m just speculating. Otherwise, why would his family leave?"
Feng Jun became even more curious, even without the Big Boss’s words, he would ask, "Then isn’t Jinwu worried about making people disheartened?"
"There won’t be any disheartening," Yi Jue shook her head. Although she has a homebody nature, she’s ultimately a Lingzhi Sect Elder, and has heard of such operations more than once or twice, "Just secretly instruct someone to deliberately cause trouble, the sect won’t step in, forcing them to move."
Feng Jun looked at her in astonishment, "Sounds like you’re very familiar with this, do you manage this part in the Lingzhi Sect?"
"Where would I have the spare time for that?" Yi Jue shook her head, "Lingmu also suffers the fall of disciples, and some people’s clans are very excessive, bullying the sect since it’s inconvenient for them to take harsh actions. At such times, the sect has to borrow some external force."
It seems that no matter where it is, the tactic of winning by causing trouble prevails! Feng Jun secretly sighed, feeling that his idle chatter had sufficed, then asked aloud, "What exactly did the Great Sun True Immortal steal?"
"How would I know?" Yi Jue shook her head, "I hadn’t been born yet when this matter occurred, I just heard bits and pieces later on, and analyzed based on my experience, it should be like this."
"Immortal Yi Jue," Feng Jun realized he couldn’t get answers through indirect hints, and spoke sincerely, "This answer is very important to me... Please recall again, I’m serious."
I just don’t want you to take me back to Lingzhi Sect, casually finding a topic, alright? Yi Jue was a bit helpless too, but since Feng Jun phrased it this way, she couldn’t ignore it. She seriously thought for a while, then answered, "Seems like he stole the Golden Crow Tail Feather."
Before Feng Jun could speak, the Big Boss’s consciousness appeared again, "Main Feather or Side Feather? If it is the Side Feather, is it the Left Feather or Right Feather?"
In Tianqin’s narrative, Golden Crow has three feathers, Peacock has five, Golden Roc has seven, Phoenix has nine.
The four divine birds only have individual differences, with no hierarchical distinction — whether this is actually the case, is hard to say.
At Jinwu Sect, Jinwu’s Tearful Blood Stone could become part of the Mountain Protection Array, the preciousness of the Golden Crow Tail Feather is even more obvious.
"Seems like it’s... the Main Feather," Yi Jue thought with a frown, "But I’m not sure, just heard that this Main Feather... was borrowed, alright, these words from my mouth, into your ear, if you repeat them to others, I won’t acknowledge it."
Feng Jun waited for a while to hear the Big Boss’s reaction, yet there was no response from the Big Boss.
But this waiting caused Yi Jue’s face to visibly turn cold.
Fortunately, Feng Jun wasn’t clueless to the point of not recognizing expressions. Realizing it, he immediately sighed, "I’ve been slightly deaf recently, didn’t catch what you were saying... By the way, there’s a new Domain Protection Formation at White Pebble Beach, interested in taking a look?"
"Domain Protection Formation... is it by the Wei Family?" Yi Jue’s expression became lively, then she hesitated again, "But I also need to take some rest, send me back to Lingzhi Sect, will you?"
"You can rest at my place too," Feng Jun declared decisively, although he didn’t boast of achievements like cutting down hundreds or thousands, he was from the information explosion era, and was a literary monk, good at coaxing girls.
"It’s settled then, last time after destroying that Space Annihilation Technique, Domain Care surged in as if at no cost, I’m thinking, you could rest at my place without worrying about Spiritual Energy and domain repulsion issues."
The words sounded exaggerated, but actually weren’t, when Feng Jun faced the Space Annihilation Technique, he clearly felt the anger of the domain — You guys are doing what? Invading my body with big moves without my permission?
However, speaking of that day, there were too many noteworthy scenes, the domain’s reaction wasn’t very obvious, so...it was left unspoken.
But the fact was, the domain really wasn’t happy, Feng Jun scattered the Space Annihilation Technique, the domain didn’t show any liking, yet when the Wei Family sent the Domain Protection Formation, its power was demonstrated.
What the Wei Family sent was a small formation, Golden Core High Stage in nature, but after the defensive formation was activated, the Wei Family’s True Immortal whispered in Feng Jun’s ear, "You really have a good relationship with your domain, the Golden Core High Stage defensive formation... forcibly became Nascent Soul High Stage!"
The Wei Family True Immortal mixes in the Wei Family Minor Realm, they aren’t afraid of the Kunhao Realm hearing.—
