Chapter 1517: Chapter 1517: Blown Up Yet Again
Feng Jun was unaware of the psychological fluctuations of Master Xiaomeng; he simply shook his head honestly, "I really have no background."
Qu Jianlei wanted to say a few words, but he also knew that he was okay with fighting and killing. In terms of communication at this level, he was not as good as Xiaomeng—everyone has their own expertise.
Xiaomeng naturally wouldn’t be shallow enough to say something like, "How can you not have a background?" She smiled and then asked, "So how confident are you in attacking the Yinsha Annex? Informing them in advance could increase a lot of variables...is it appropriate?"
These are all very common concerns, and Feng Jun could understand, so he straightforwardly stated, "I feel I have a hundred percent confidence, the main concern is the destructive power."
Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but retort after hearing this, "We are also worried about the uncontrollable destructive power, otherwise, would it be difficult to gather a few Golden Cores to attack the annex?"
Feng Jun pondered for a moment before speaking, "How about this, I’ll take a walk elsewhere first, you can stay here."
"Don’t be like that," Qu Jianlei hurriedly spoke up, "My task is to guard you, it’s very hard for me if you keep running off like this, don’t you know? Take both of us with you."
Feng Jun smiled and shook his head, releasing the White Fox, "The place I’m going to is inconvenient for you to visit, it’s easy to expose."
As he spoke, he flew onto Xiao Bai’s back, waved at the two of them, "See you later!"
Qu Jianlei just wanted to say something, but it was already too late; the White Fox soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Master Qu wanted to chase, but it was too late, he couldn’t help but marvel, "So fast, truly befitting of a Golden Core Peak demon beast!"
"It’s really unusually fast," Master Xiaomeng also exclaimed, she had some insight, "Faster than my Crimson Phoenix, and it seems to be a demon beast talent, able to keep going for long distances..."
Feng Jun used Xiao Bai to travel, just to shake off the couple. Although the Spiral Flower Insect’s sense of smell was strong, it couldn’t possibly track him from tens of thousands of miles away, could it?
After flying tens of thousands of miles, he landed and directly used footprints to return to the Celestial Star Marketplace.
The Yinsha base at the Celestial Star Marketplace was heavily guarded, but compared to Rong Mountain, it was really not at the same level.
Just as the Big Boss promised, Feng Jun used the night to easily enter the Yinsha defensive formation.
He originally intended to go on a killing spree, but after thinking it over, he decided to plant a batch of explosives and quietly left.
Then, he scattered a circle of flyers around the base, announcing that Feng Jun had come for revenge, hoping nearby residents would relocate within three days to avoid accidental injury.
Before dawn, the people at the Yinsha base got the message—someone found the flyers and came to report to them, as there were always those who wanted to curry favor with the Four Great Sects.
While the Yinsha Sect disciples were furious, Feng Jun was already riding Xiao Bai straight to another marketplace.
This marketplace was called Qicheng, and it was over a million miles away from Yinsha; the Yinsha Sect also had a base there.
This time, Feng Jun traveled directly in broad daylight; anyway, Xiao Bai flew very high, and unless someone was paying close attention, it was nearly impossible to detect its movement.
He spent a day and half a night to finally reach Qicheng Fang Market, then infiltrated the annex using the same tactics, planted explosives, scattered flyers, and left.
The third marketplace was Tianyin Fang Market, where Feng Jun handled the Yinsha base in a similar manner.
The three marketplaces quickly reported the situation up, but the Yinsha Sect really couldn’t afford to worry about these three places as they were analyzing whether the annex at Rong Mountain Fang Market had become the primary target for Feng Jun and the Crimson Phoenix.
The reasoning behind this judgment mainly stemmed from Master Hanpo discovering the presence of Crimson Phoenix cultivators while dealing with the tracking mark.
Yinsha had never believed that Feng Jun had the ability to attack the Rong Mountain annex alone; the annex was too close to Yinsha, making reinforcements convenient, and no matter how formidable Feng Jun’s combat strength was, the practicality of actual operation had to be considered.
But with the coordination of a few real people from Crimson Phoenix, they truly had the credentials to contemplate it.
Indeed, the Transfer Matrix Plate was still a minor issue, but the Crimson Phoenix secret technique of dissolving the mark was the basis for Feng Jun possibly making a move.
So the news from those three marketplaces was considered by the Yinsha Sect to likely be false, mainly intended to distract them and thus reveal a flaw.
The Yinsha disciples at the Celestial Star base made it through three nerve-wracking days, then were pleasantly surprised to find that nothing happened on the fourth day, the fifth day, and... the evening of the sixth day, something did happen.
After a thunderous explosion, the Celestial Star base of Yinsha was reduced to ruins, with heavy casualties.
Indeed, they were all cultivators, so the death toll wasn’t extraordinarily high, but many structures were destroyed, even the defensive formation was wrecked.
The key issue is that the impact is just too detrimental; the prestigious Yinsha Sect was so violently humiliated!
While searching and rescuing the injured at the Tianxing stronghold, the situation was reported to the Yinsha Headquarters.
The headquarters immediately recognized the style... it was indeed Feng Jun. They were not very clear about Feng Jun’s specific skills, but during the last battle in Lantern Town, when Yang Zhikun from Ten Directions was killed, it started with an explosion that left him stunned.
So they immediately advised the disciples still at Tianxing to quickly retreat towards the Transmission Array, even if some of the injured couldn’t enter the Transmission Array, they should be treated nearby to prevent Feng Jun from continuing his deadly attacks.
What, someone said it’s embarrassing? We really can’t afford to worry about that issue now, being attacked in the Fang Market, we also need to consider having the Fang Market send people to deal with Feng Jun.
Then they notified the other two Fang Market strongholds: Feng Jun has started attacking the strongholds, prepare for evacuation, and also check the annex to see if there are any unidentified objects.
In fact, it took about half an hour from the incident at Tianxing stronghold to when those two strongholds received the notification.
The news reached Qicheng, and the second stronghold had just exploded—Feng Jun intentionally left a time gap to confuse the opponent.
Just after the incident in Qicheng, five minutes later, the Yinsha stronghold at Tianyin received the clearest instructions, speedily teleport to the Transmission Array, yes, do nothing else, carry what is worth carrying, and leave swiftly.
The Yinsha disciples at the Tianyin Fang Market stronghold evacuated quite orderly. Although the explosion came rather quickly, everyone applied a Defense Talisman and simultaneously activated a small Defense Array Disk, completing the teleportation within the defensive formation.
Thus, no attack is perfect; no matter how well Feng Jun calculates, he can’t predict human nature and account for all variables.
The three explosive assaults were quite powerful; not only was the Yinsha stronghold destroyed, but nearby buildings were also damaged. However, for Yinsha, the biggest damage was to their face.
Just as the whole Yinsha was in a rage, a flyer reappeared, this time at the Rong Mountain Fang Market’s Yinsha Annex. Unlike before, there was a five-day deadline, advising people in the vicinity to stay away from Yinsha while emphasizing "destructiveness far exceeding the past."
Yinsha’s deep influence in Rong Mountain was not just boasting; out of the 360 flyers, over 340 returned to Yinsha’s hands, with only about a dozen spreading outside.
But even that little spread was enough, prompting Yinsha to launch large-scale actions. While actively conducting internal investigations, they released word to negotiate with Feng Jun—not because they were afraid, but because his extreme methods too easily harmed the innocent!
This reason was obviously gilding the lily, but one couldn’t really expect them to say "we can’t bear it, let’s talk."
Once Feng Jun stops going everywhere, generally, it’s relatively easy to locate him, especially near Rong Mountain where Qu Jianlei finds him effortlessly.
When Master Qu found him, he discovered Feng Jun arguing with a High-Rank cultivator, "Mountain Master Feng, who is this?"
"Jie Chaosheng, from the Jie Family of Sword Forging Peak," Feng Jun replied without turning his head, "I didn’t say I lack empathy; I haven’t even used my true methods yet. The key is... can such powerful methods really be controlled easily?"
"Then why not go to the Yinsha Fang Market," Jie Chaosheng argued reasonably, "Rong Mountain is still an ordinary Fang Market. If you make too much noise here and get blacklisted by the Fang Market, that would be troublesome."
"If they were smart enough to evacuate the people from the annex, wouldn’t it be fine?" Feng Jun retorted irritably, "I can’t vent my anger on an empty courtyard... If people don’t want to evacuate, they want to negotiate with me, negotiate what?"
Jie Chaosheng earnestly advised him, "No matter how strong your trump cards are, the Four Great Sects are still the Four Great Sects. Even if you enlist a Nascent Soul, you can’t destroy the Four Great Sects, can you? So there’s no need to care too much about appearances, listen to what conditions Yinsha offers as it’s more pragmatic."
"Oh?" Qu Jianlei curiously asked, "The Yinsha Sect contacted you?"
"Chao Sheng’s information network is very well-informed," Feng Jun smiled, "Even though I’m like a deaf and blind man, thanks to him... Even Master Qu has heard the news?"
He knew that the Crimson Pheonix Sect had a few people who had come to this place, besides Qu Jianlei and Xiaomeng in front of him, Xia Nichang was also there. As for who else, he wasn’t very clear, but these people were, in essence, operating in a hostile territory.
They were all dispersed, without a unified organization. Although they had considerable self-preservation abilities and enough survival experience, their intelligence-gathering capabilities might not be very strong.
"Of course, I knew," Qu Jianlei replied with a wry smile, "Master Jiusha contacted my sect’s heads, who then informed us. Supposedly, the heads of Qinggang and Taiqing also received transmissions from Master Jiusha."
Feng Jun shook his head with a strange expression, "Isn’t this Yinsha’s head ashamed?"
"He does have some reasons," Master Xiaomeng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did Master Jiusha say that he invited someone skilled in divination to predict you might disrupt Yinsha’s disciple recruitment ceremony?"
"Oh?" Feng Jun curiously glanced at Jie Chaosheng, thinking that he had only discussed this plan with him. Could this guy have leaked it?
However, on second thought, if he could divine, why couldn’t others? Besides, there were other triggers for this matter.
So, ultimately, he gave a nonchalant smile, "Divination is not necessarily required; it’s just that I destroyed three of their strongholds, so they guessed it, right?"
