Chapter 2579: Chapter 2571: Following Suit

Because the suspect escaped in time and released magical pollution before leaving, Feng Jun and his team’s plan to pursue closely was shattered.

However, discovering the person’s true identity was not a total loss. As long as they can post a bounty, the situation will naturally shift.

Feng Jun conducted another search on the plate and found that no one was too closely associated with him.

However, many people who had frequent contact with that manor disappeared one day before, and after verification, it can be confirmed that these people are all dead. It is clear that they were silenced by that force.

This also shows that their pursuit and capture of the Gu Family did exert great pressure on the other side, who fled without hesitation after silencing.

Two days later, they left that plate and returned to the Xuanshui Sect. Immediately, Yi Jue returned to the Spirit Plant Dao to post a bounty, and Wei Sancai also returned to the Wei Family Minor Realm. Only Qian Zhong and Can Sheng did not leave.

However, Qian Zhong also had a conversation with Feng Jun, stating that the Yao Family had finally gone into hiding and did not want to re-emerge. She asked if the capabilities she displayed during this period could allow the Yao Family disciples to participate in the Void Treasure Hunt and... apply for relevant deductions?

Feng Jun admitted that the abilities of the Yao Family are indeed extraordinary. He said it would not be harmful to secretly take care of them, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to do someone a favor, it’s mainly because I’m worried that once it starts, it won’t be easy to stop. Since your Yao Family doesn’t want to be conspicuous, helping out this once is reasonable, but..."

After a pause, he stated, "I really want to know, can the Xiong Family accomplish limited-range Wandering Evasion?"

Qian Zhong responded without hesitation, "You can ask a few more families with deep foundations, and you’ll know. The Xiong Family has profound research on space, but I don’t want to say these things in front of sect practitioners... Anyway, outsiders collectively refer to us as Ancient Families."

Feng Jun nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder the Wei Family doesn’t know."

"The Wei Family becoming a Minor Realm Family can only be attributed to good luck," Qian Zhong did not hide her disdain for the Wei Family, "My Yao Family chose to cooperate with the Wei Family because they act cautiously and have no entanglements with the Yao Family."

Feng Jun asked again, "Is the Ancient Space Annihilation Art that attacked me also related to the Xiong Family?"

"I really can’t be certain about that," Qian Zhong answered seriously, "Only you can judge it. Although I have no fondness for the Xiong Family, I wouldn’t convict someone without evidence. You should consider that Six Pillar Sky Deceiving Formation..."

"If you had immediately assumed at that time that it was the Luo Family’s formation and began to plan against the Luo Family, would they be wronged?"

Her words were fair, and Feng Jun’s eyes lit up upon hearing them, then he nodded.

"I see, then I will directly suspect that it was the Ancient Xiong Family. I will write this in the bounty; if the Ancient Xiong Family really still exists and they feel they are wronged, they will at least emerge and try to communicate with me."

Is that what I meant? Qian Zhong was a bit annoyed, I meant for you to be cautious, okay?

But that’s the other party’s decision, she wouldn’t oppose it, only blandly stating, "Then you must be careful. If it’s not the Ancient Xiong Family, and they are provoked because of it, the consequences will be unpredictable... that’s the wrath of an Ancient Family."

"I believe they wouldn’t do that," Feng Jun replied with great certainty, "If it wasn’t them and they forcefully act out of anger, that would just be shooting themselves in the foot. No matter how angry they are, they wouldn’t be foolish to that extent."

Qian Zhong was taken aback, then laughed. She hadn’t expected to be educated by a little guy, "You indeed make sense, but even if they come to verify first, you still have to apologize... Oh, I forgot, you have a lot of resources to apologize with."

Speaking of this, she felt a bit unbalanced. What is this? A mere Small Golden Core can question an Ancient Family, and even publicly post a bounty.

Feng Jun, due to his conversation with her, realized he could openly add the tag "suspected Ancient Xiong Family" and immediately began notifying various friends. The task rewards were uniformly five slots for entering the Void.

Luan Xiong True Sage and Ren Tu True Sage were not on the Tianqin Plane, but Feng Jun had friends Moran True Immortal in Taixu and Wu Nan True Immortal in Jinwu, so posting a bounty was not a problem.

In Xuanhuang and Yuangang, Feng Jun didn’t have acquaintances on hand, but he posted bounties in several major sects, and these sects had disciples going to the Insect World, so the two sects’ disciples finally noticed the bounty.

So the two sects sent disciples to the Xuanshui Sect to inquire face to face if they could also post a bounty?

These two sects are currently focusing on conquering the Insect World, but this bounty actually doesn’t take much time to handle. If you know something, you know it; if you don’t, you don’t, or you could have access to similar information channels to try and find out.

Qian Zhong could only lament once more: a task issued by a Golden Core, and two major sects’ disciples actually took the initiative to apply for it.

This really isn’t about the abundance of the task rewards. If other great powers also provided sufficient rewards, could they possibly entice disciples from the Seven Sects to come and request to share the task? To be honest, the Seven Sects really couldn’t afford to lose face like that!

Especially since Feng Jun’s bounty targeted a member of an Ancient Family, which inherently carries huge risks.

Therefore, the disciples of these two sects visiting could only mean that they highly regard Feng Jun, and are willing to establish a good relationship with him. Given the abilities he has demonstrated, even though he is merely a Golden Core Master, he can no longer be described as simply having potential, but rather possesses tangible strength.

Moreover, it is evident that once they post a reward, it implies that in any upcoming conflicts, when faced against the Ancient Xiong Family, they will stand by Feng Jun—at the very least, they will lean towards his side.

This situation prompted Qian Zhong to feel a deep sense of reflection.

However, the forces supporting Feng Jun don’t end there. Two days later, people from the Seven Emotions Dao arrived as well, expressing their desire to post the reward—Tuotuo True Sage once had a minor misunderstanding with Feng Jun, but not long ago, he transferred a batch of Seven Emotions Dao disciples to the Insect World.

After Feng Jun agreed to post a reward task, the Seven Emotions Dao disciples curiously asked: Can the Green Lotus Sect also post this reward?

Apparently, the Green Lotus Sect and Feng Jun rarely interacted. Although Feng Jun’s transportation had occasionally carried Green Lotus Sect individuals, there was no deeper friendship. They felt it was too abrupt to visit directly, so they first asked the Seven Emotions Dao to enquire.

Feng Jun, of course, expressed his welcome, but he also stated that he was quite busy recently, and given his unique abilities, it would be inconvenient for him to take the initiative to enter the territory of the Green Lotus Sect without their guidance.

This reason was quite valid, and between the lines was the implication: if the Green Lotus Sect wanted to confirm the reward, they would have to visit the Ice Plate once.

Another day passed, and members of the Luo Family arrived, also inquiring about the reward.

Supposedly, the Luo Family, being a clan power ranked second among the Minor Realm Families, jumping in to face the Ancient Family seemed somewhat inappropriate, yet the Luo Family said they were here for the reward, and no one should block their clan’s financial path.

The person who came was Luo Yuanwu, at the Nascent Soul Middle Phase. Behind the scenes, he privately expressed to Feng Jun—despite us having dealt with over a hundred Xiao Family members, the Great Elder is still infuriated, based on this alone, we are not afraid to confront the Xiong Family.

Qian Zhong had already grown tired of being shocked, but she couldn’t help but think: Since there are clan practitioners helping him deal with clan forces, in the future, could there be sect practitioners helping him deal with sect forces?

As a result, when she asked Wei Sancai, Sancai True Sage revealed that someone had already done so. Did you think Han Hai True Sage went to the Wanhuan Sect to demand an explanation, and it wasn’t for anyone?

Qian Zhong, however, stated: That’s because the incident happened on Xuanshui Sect’s territory, so whether it was Han Hai True Sage or You Xuan True Sage, there was a reason for them to go to the Wanhuan Sect to demand an explanation.

Wei Sancai disagreed: But wasn’t the Luo Family supporting Feng Jun also because their Luo Family ancestors were wronged?

While they were debating, someone from the Xuanhuang Sect came to claim the reward: True Immortal Dulian recognized the portrait. If the portrait is correct, it should be a Nascent Soul named Xiong Nanti, titled as Carefree True Immortal.

Dulian is one of the few High-Rank True Immortals still guarding the Xuanhuang Sect’s main gate, largely due to his extensive network. If there are any needs on the Tianqin side, he can coordinate more conveniently.

Besides, the Xuanhuang Sect had an additional concern, and that was Dulian had too many friends and was very agreeable. If any disputes over interests arose in the Insect World, he might not be able to bring himself to fight for them, and if he had to value relationships, it could harm Xuanhuang’s interests.

True Immortal Dulian came to know Xiong Nanti by chance, and the two had even exchanged blows, consequently appreciating each other and becoming friends.

At that time, Xiong Nanti bluntly stated, I am a clan practitioner. Dulian didn’t care which clan he belonged to—be it the Ancient Xiong Family, the Xiong Family of the Three Hundred Secret Territories, or any ordinary clan’s Xiong Family, it didn’t matter to him.

True Immortal Dulian stated, if there are no conflict of interests, I will always regard you as a friend.

But if one day the sects and families go to war, I will try to avoid you as much as possible.

But if we truly face each other by then, you and I shall go all out, as I am an elder of the Seven Esteemed Sects, and I cannot hold back.

Hence, there is logic in saying True Immortal Dulian’s network is extensive. His attitude while making friends is very upright, without discriminating against anyone, but he also has firm boundaries and will firmly defend them.

As soon as this reward was announced, he recognized the Carefree True Immortal, and his first reaction was immense curiosity: Xiong Nanti was skilled in the art of space manipulation, yet could someone capture a clear image of him?

He also knew that Feng Jun, who posted the reward, plays an extraordinary role in the progress of the two sects in the Insect World.

At the same time, as someone well informed, he was well aware that Feng Jun was somewhat... provocative in the Insect World, often causing trouble, and the higher-ups of the two sects were somewhat perplexed by him.

So, he hesitated—should he take on this reward?

However, just then, the closed-off Fishing Elder issued a True Sage command.
