Chapter 1515: Chapter 1515: Nothing to Worry About If Discovered
The grey compass, about the size of a washbasin, is precisely the Array Card for Yinsha’s “Space Warning Array”.
As it turns out, the reason such a thing is here is because Feng Jun last time disappeared directly from Rong Mountain and went to Jumu Market Town.
This leap startled the people of the Yinsha Sect, prompting them to later commission the Loose Cultivator Alliance to dispatch a large number of personnel to investigate.
Yinsha is very worried that Feng Jun might use this method to suddenly appear in the annex—though the possibility is low, who can guarantee it doesn’t exist?
So the Yinsha Annex at Rong Mountain applied for such a Space Warning Array Card, which covers only Rong Mountain Square Market. The place where Feng Jun disappeared was already in the suburbs of the suburban market area, impossible for the warning array to be so large.
Ultimately, the Array Card functions based on countless small-scale spatial collecting warning formations, which are fixed and not meant for pursuit, and the primary goal of the Yinsha Annex in applying for this item is, of course, to protect Yinsha disciples.
Feng Jun was very cautious. He and Qu Jianlei flew two thousand miles away, found a thorn bush by a big stone, and set down the Transfer Matrix Plate, while also activating the Hidden Formation.
Seeing this, the experienced Lao Jiang couldn’t help but nod, “Cautious enough, with this disposition, you won’t suffer much loss.”
Xiao Meng was also very cautious. After exiting the secret passage, she carefully moved about thirty miles, selected a forest area, and activated the Teleportation Plate.
Once it was activated, Feng Jun and Qu Jianlei immediately received the signal, and the next moment, the two of them teleported over.
Simultaneously, a brilliant flash of light erupted from the compass array card of the Yinsha Sect.
“Teleportation Plate!” The Yinsha disciple in charge of watching had been dozing off, but instantly came to life, “Teleportation Array, definitely a Teleportation Array, not Blink!”
Guarding this compass array card is actually a tough job. Although Rong Mountain Square Market prohibits flying, if people use bodily techniques to Blink without being caught on the spot, the market can’t control it.
Besides the Blink technique, there are teleportation arrays from Rong Mountain and some teleportation disks from other forces, just verifying these reports one by one keeps the Yinsha disciples busy enough.
But later everyone got familiar with the Array Card and discovered the differences between teleportation, transfer disks and Blink, thus focusing on the Teleportation Plate while ignoring the latter two.
Anyway, with this Yinsha disciple’s experience, such a flashing warning is definitely from a Teleportation Plate, and this late-night teleportation seems entirely suspicious.
The next moment, two seniors suddenly appeared in the room, “Teleportation Plate… where is it located?”
The disciple raised a hand and pointed, but it was more than twenty miles away from there…
This was Feng Jun’s first time using a Teleportation Plate. Coming out of it, he still felt a bit dizzy, “The ride experience was a bit poor, my heart rate increased.”
“Not necessarily related to that,” the big boss’s consciousness came through, “There’s a nearby spatial fluctuation collection formation, understand?”
“Not entirely,” Feng Jun tentatively asked, “Do you mean… we’ve been discovered?”
“If the cultivator on duty didn’t fall asleep,” the big boss replied coldly, “Now listen to me… leave immediately, don’t use Blink, run fast and fly low!”
At this moment, Feng Jun chose to trust it without hesitation. So he raised a hand to put away the Teleportation Plate and quickly whispered, “Follow my lead, leave immediately, no Blink, run fast and fly low.”
The two seniors understood more than he did. Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei whispered back, “You lead the way!”
“You two lead the way,” Feng Jun swayed and disappeared, “I’ll be invisible.”
“Even if you’re invisible, you lead the way,” Qu Jianlei instantly turned into a light mist, and Master Xiaomeng also vanished, “Rest assured, we can keep up with you.”
I almost forgot you have the Spiral Flower Insect, Feng Jun thought helplessly, yet activated his spiritual energy, broke into a run, and dashed off.
He wasn’t sure how far was safe, but since it was a square market, running about ten miles should suffice.
When he stopped, the light mist arrived beside him, Qu Jianlei’s voice came over, “What happened just now?”
What’s called a partner? This is a partner. Without clarity about the situation, you say run, and they follow you desperately.
Feng Jun replied in a low voice, “Spatial fluctuation collection formation, have you heard of it?”
“Oh my, ” Qu Jianlei said in shock, “Is it that serious? How terrified are they of dying!”
“It’s not about being afraid of dying, but they’ve already lost quite a few people,” Xiao Meng’s voice came, “Including Master Hanji, they’ve lost four Golden Cores already, wouldn’t they be scared? Though using it in Rong Mountain Square Market… is a bit strange.”
The next moment, Qu Jianlei sneered disdainfully, “They really are cowards. We’ve been gone for ages, and no one even came to check. Had we known, we wouldn’t have run.”
The Yinsha Sect indeed had no courage to go and check what happened. A few Qi Refining disciples expressed rather being killed than not venturing out to see what happened, but were sternly berated by their seniors.
Disciples’ bravery is commendable, but if it’s like hitting a rock with an egg, that’s not bravery, it’s plain stupidity.
When Qu Jianlei left there, he left behind a special perception method that could sense these things for a short period.
However, the Big Boss could sense even more, “No one comes out of the Yinsha Annex at all, they must be scared out of their wits.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun spoke, “I’m going to take a look around outside the annex; you two do as you please.”
He cautiously moved forward in stealth. The other two exchanged glances and disappeared again.
Approaching the Yinsha Annex, Feng Jun intended to observe up close. Yet the Big Boss reminded him, “It’d be best to keep a distance of a mile; this annex has some highly destructive things.”
He searched for “nearby items,” but there was a distance limitation. However, the Big Boss’s perception was unrestricted by distance—at least not at that range.
Feng Jun was amenable to advice, so he kept a mile’s distance as he circled the annex. However, there were a few points where it was difficult to avoid coming within a mile, so he’d quickly duck in and out, leaving as swiftly as possible.
This circuit took him an hour and a half, but finally, the Big Boss eagerly stated, “We found a weakness we can exploit.”
Feng Jun’s spirits lifted at this, “Can we sneak in stealthily through here?”
“Not here,” the Big Boss replied calmly, “There are too many warning formations, but with a strategy like this defensive formation, you could infiltrate the Jumu Formation.”
Feng Jun pondered a moment before asking, “Doesn’t matter about the warning formation, right? Just charge in and kill… is there a Golden Core inside?”
“I sense there isn’t, but who knows?” the Big Boss replied leisurely, “If they truly wanted to conceal a Golden Core’s presence, they might even fool my senses… who doesn’t have a trick or two up their sleeve?”
Feng Jun was silent for a while before asking, “Do you have any gut feeling of danger?”
The Big Boss was silent for a moment before speaking, “The feeling here isn’t very good… maybe there’s a small Transmission Array?”
As they were communicating, three cultivators emerged from a distortion in the shadows ahead.
“Oh?” Feng Jun murmured softly, “I thought this was a weakness in the defensive formation, turns out it’s a secret door for coming and going?”
“The weakness isn’t here,” the Big Boss laughed and replied, “Internally they must have reinforced it, it’s a false weakness but truly strong… However, what do these three Qi Refinement cultivators want by coming out, to deliver themselves on a plate?”
“In any case, they have to check out that Teleportation Point from before,” Feng Jun laughed and responded, “They couldn’t check it in real-time, that’s understandable, but if they don’t dare to investigate after all this time, they won’t be able to lead a team.”
“Ah, the way of controlling subordinates,” the Big Boss seemed to understand, then disdainfully said, “Going to check after so long, what could they find? Just self-deception.”
“That’s hard to say,” Feng Jun quietly followed the three, while arguing with the Big Boss in his mind, “Going there may not yield results, but not going will certainly yield nothing… hmm, the direction they’re taking seems off.”
It turned out that the three little Qi Refinement cultivators weren’t heading in the wrong direction after all; they wanted to take a detour, going in a wide circle before heading to the Teleportation Point.
Seeing this, Feng Jun couldn’t help but commend, “Truly commendable courage.”
“Precisely the kind who should be killed,” the Big Boss calmly stated, “Kill the brave ones, and others will have to think twice before stepping forward.”
Feng Jun agreed with this view, “Indeed, the arrogance of the Yinsha Sect is because they have too many bold ones. Killing a batch might make them realize that only peace can foster growth.”
“Tsk,” the Big Boss dismissed disdainfully, “Obviously wanting to bully the weak, yet making so many excuses, truly hypocritical!”
Feng Jun chuckled, replying nonchalantly, “Actually, I’m doing this for the good of Yinsha.”
“Alas,” the Big Boss sighed helplessly, “You’ve even learned this shameless demeanor of the strong.”
“Who needs to learn that?” Feng Jun casually remarked, “Whoever has the bigger fist is right, that’s how it is, isn’t it?”
The Big Boss wanted to continue bantering, but suddenly paused with a light snort, “Hmm? Beyond a mile, there’s another sneaky one at the early Out of Body stage.”
That early Out of Body stage one was also using some kind of stealth technique, but it was pretty ordinary, the air seemed a bit warped, like a road sizzling in the midday summer sun.
Of course, without a close look one wouldn’t see it, especially now since it was nighttime.
If it weren’t for the Big Boss’s strong abilities, Feng Jun wouldn’t have noticed without using his Divine Sense, but using it would expose himself first.
When confronting an Out of Body cultivator, of course, he’d still need to kill the Out of Body, so Feng Jun stopped, hid behind a shop signboard, took out his mobile phone, planning to check on this person’s information.
But as he showed himself, Qu Jianlei immediately discovered his exact location, and a wisp of light mist drifted over, then a divine sense message came through, “What’s the situation?”
Feng Jun made a gesture, it was a signal—there was an Out of Body stage cultivator.
