Chapter 2729: Chapter 2721: Encounter

Xuanyuan Buwu was just making a joke by accusing someone of being at the Fusion Stage—it was merely a jest!

He explained himself, and the others accepted that he misspoke. In fact, everyone was more concerned about who Feng Jun wanted to take away.

Feng Jun didn’t want to take anyone. He didn’t want to go to the Insect World entrance at all, not because he was unwilling to rescue cultivators, but simply because he disliked being disrupted by unexpected events: Can’t I develop smoothly?

He felt like a bee caught in a web, wanting to fly freely but constantly having his wings entangled.

However, this was just a thought. The summons from both sects, along with the message from the Alchemy Dao, all indicated the seriousness of the situation.

As for who to take, he would definitely bring Yi Jue, and he couldn’t shake off two True Immortals. As for others, Elder Cang Jing also wanted to follow, but Feng Jun suggested she rest more because she hadn’t recovered well.

Additionally, he asked Elder Cang Jing to help keep an eye on Miaomiao Zhenxian. If this guy found an excuse to leave, she should intervene.

It’s not that he didn’t trust Miaomiao Zhenxian, but this person was too restless, attempting to leave four or five times within half a year with bizarre excuses. The last time Yi Jue couldn’t stand it anymore and bound him, making him stand at White Pebble Beach for three whole days, which finally calmed him.

As for the safety of White Pebble Beach, it was simple: leave the Yin-Yang Mirror here and don’t retrieve it to the Earth Realm at night.

After some tutoring from Feng Jun, Jing Ling had become much more laid-back and basically wouldn’t cause too much trouble anymore, and escaping was impossible—without Feng Jun, where could it find extreme spiritual energy?

Feng Jun, accompanied by three people, teleported to a spot thirty thousand miles away near a war fortress, adjacent to the Insect Passage Entrance.

Though he could accurately teleport to the entrance itself, that was clearly not a good idea. Currently, the entrance’s traffic was very busy, and any organism suddenly appearing there would likely be directly attacked.

However, the spot he chose wasn’t great either. Three thousand miles away, a team of cultivators was patrolling. When they saw four people suddenly appear in the space, they immediately surrounded them and adopted a combat formation, clearly well-trained.

This team had at least three Nascent Soul cultivators and over twenty Golden Core cultivators. Upon seeing Feng Jun and the others, one middle-phase Nascent Soul revealed a look of both surprise and joy, "It’s Feng Jun... Haha, and Yi Jue!"

Such direct address wouldn’t be an adversary, would it? Feng Jun furrowed his brow, "From Wanhuan Sect?"

"It’s from Wanhuan Sect," Yi Jue had already recognized the cultivators among them, and she spoke coldly, "Are you planning to make a move?"

The leading middle-phase Nascent Soul spoke with a sarcastic smile, "Our task is to patrol the surroundings and prevent disruptions from anyone or alien races. If you four don’t want trouble, it’s best to cooperate..."

"Si Ganlin!" Yi Jue raised her hand, directly using her divine skill, "Time for a beating!"

Xuanyuan Buwu and Qian Zhong did not make a move, not because they were afraid to attack sect practitioners, but because not far away was the practitioners’ base camp, so it’s impossible to rashly attack.

Although Yi Jue attacked fiercely, the water content in outer space was insufficient, and the opposing team from Wanhuan Sect, led by three Nascent Soul cultivators, with dozens of Golden Core cultivators forming a battle formation, managed to withstand her divine skill safely.

"Daring to attack? Then don’t blame us for being rude," the middle-phase Nascent Soul sneered, then waved his hand, "Take them down, disrupt the space, except Feng Jun... life or death doesn’t matter!"

If there were only three Nascent Soul cultivators, he wouldn’t have such audacity, but with over twenty Golden Core cultivators forming a battle formation, the operation became much easier. It should be noted that even the insect world connected to Tianqin Plane was primarily completed by the Golden Core battle team.

Feng Jun was skilled in spatial transposition magic, which the Wanhuan Sect was entirely aware of. This time, having encountered him, they weren’t certain they could defeat him, but since they had run into him and had the upper hand legally, they had to give it a try.

The relationship between White Pebble Beach and Wanhuan Sect was already terrible, so it couldn’t get much worse.

Three Nascent Soul cultivators led three squads, rushing directly forward, causing the space to experience intense distortion, and the distortion continued to intensify. Even those who controlled teleportation magic dared not use it recklessly at this moment.

Under the influence of such spatial power, even Yi Jue’s "Si Ganlin" divine skill couldn’t be fully executed.

However, Yi Jue wasn’t the type to wait idly, nor was she accustomed to relying on others for her safety. She pulled out two Nascent Soul Defense Talismans, activated them on Feng Jun and herself, then drew a longsword, "Death comes!"

"Such a bore!" Xuanyuan Buwu sighed lightly, lifting his hand. A huge thumb suddenly appeared in the sky, seemingly slow but actually swift, pressing fiercely towards the battle team led by middle-phase Nascent Soul.

He intended to wipe out this team in one move because all three teams had formed a battle formation, and these three battle formations had formed a large Three Talents Formation—though it was a common battle formation, its combat power was definitely not weak.

If Xuanyuan Buwu attacked with full force, annihilating the Three Talents Formation was possible, but whether he could wipe out these three squads was questionable—never underestimate anyone’s survival items.

And if he did attack with full force, nearby cultivators would definitely sense it, which would imply his intention of slaughtering.

Once judged to have this tendency, even if he is a Divine Spirit True Lord, someone will eventually come to demand an explanation from him—excessive, isn’t it?

If in this situation there are still fish that slip through the net, he will find it even more disgraceful.

So he only chose one team and did not use his full strength, thinking that "injuring ten fingers is not as effective as breaking one finger," as long as he can take down this one squad, the Three Talents Formation would naturally collapse on its own.

The remaining two Nascent Soul squads, Yi Jue can handle one with no big issue, and the other won’t pose a threat.

However, if these two squads still want to form the Liangyi Battle Formation, Xuanyuan Buwei would have to consider whether to intervene again.

As a Divine Spirit True Lord, he’s fought many battles, and all sorts of calculations have already been made in his mind as he takes action.

The Intermediate Level Nascent Soul noticed the massive thumb in the sky and sensed the terrifying aura it contained, involuntarily gasping, and shouted, "Hold your ground, don’t run!"

He is also considered a combat genius; he instantly analyzed that running was useless, the opponent’s aim was complete annihilation of their squad, trying to retreat would leave no place for burial while bracing for a desperate fight might offer a slim chance of survival.

The Wanhuan Sect was extremely unfriendly towards Feng Jun, yet as one of the Seven Great Sects, their battle teams have high discipline; all the Golden Core cultivators roared fiercely, recklessly unleashing their spiritual energy and blood—at critical moments, they must go all out.

At this moment, there was a soft sigh from the sky, "Why the fury, True Lord? We can talk this out peacefully."

Immediately, a pale cyan long spear appeared in the sky, meeting the massive thumb’s shadow.

The pale cyan long spear shattered inch by inch upon contact with the thumb’s shadow, and the spear, which was over three hundred feet long, hardly lasted for even a single breath, while the thumb’s shadow remained largely unchanged.

However, this delay provided extremely precious time for the Three Talents Formation below to adjust.

The direction of the Three Talents Formation’s attack had shifted from Yi Jue and his group and directly faced the thumb’s shadow in the sky; the three squads were also prepared to transition from attack to defense, planning to take advantage of the situation to escape.

The thumb pressed down, and the three squads instantly crumbled; from the two squads on the flanks, there were frequent flashes of escape light, with many managing to escape alive, but the squad at the forefront suffered the most, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, many being reduced to a bloody mist, and even fist-sized chunks of flesh were rare.

With one finger, an entire Nascent Soul squad was annihilated; the Intermediate Level Nascent Soul leader didn’t even have time to let his Nascent Soul escape.

A golden-armored cultivator suddenly appeared in the sky, over a hundred feet tall, face pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, gritting his teeth as he spoke to Xuanyuan Buwei, "Buwei True Lord... what ruthless means."

"Who do we have here? Turns out to be Wen Kui," Xuanyuan Buwei glanced at him indifferently and casually remarked, "Your juniors were indeed rude, offending those above their station and bullying the few with the many; I had to teach them a lesson... I’ve already held back."

Wen Kui was the True Sage dispatched by the Wanhuan Sect to the Insect World; due to Feng Jun refusing to transport Wanhuan Sect disciples to the front lines, the Wanhuan Sect practitioners could only advance slowly, playing a central role in guarding the backline fortress.

Because of this, the inspection teams were luxuriously equipped, all composed of Wanhuan Sect members—the battle formations required great coordination, and those formed by multiple forces usually lacked harmony.

When Wen Kui True Sage noticed the Wanhuan Sect encountering an enemy, he immediately paid attention, and upon realizing the opponent had at least one cultivator above the Out-of-Body Stage, it was too late to call off, so he had to hastily act to protect his subordinates.

Seeing the huge thumb, he knew they’d run into a significant adversary—it was definitely a True Lord from the Xuanyuan family.

If the opponent had extended an index finger, his cultivators might still have hope; a thumb, however... indicated an intent to kill.

Indeed, though he managed to intercept briefly, one Nascent Soul squad was still utterly destroyed, and the other two were severely battered with hardly any escaping intact.

You call this a minor lesson? Wen Kui True Sage glanced at the other disciples, almost spitting blood in anger.

The strike he just delivered was in haste, and he himself suffered considerable injury; with gritted teeth, he stated, "Buwei True Lord’s ’kindness’ has been noted by the Wanhuan Sect, but my sect’s disciples were patrolling the area on the invitation of the Xuanhuang and Yuangang sects to guard against petty threats..."

He sneered viciously at this point, "True Lord, with actions like this, you should give an explanation to those two sects as well."

Offending three of the Seven Great Sects all at once, let’s see how your Xuanyuan family survives this!

Xuanyuan Buwei gave him a half-hearted glance, then turned to Feng Jun, "Feng Xiaoyou, you should speak."
