Using the "Crimson Rainbow" technique, Qu Jianlei and Master Xiaomeng pursued Feng Jun to Mingsha Fang Market. The difference was that one transmitted in the morning, the other in the evening.

Feng Jun made two trips in between, allowing them to catch up quickly.

As soon as they emerged from the transmission array, they saw seven or eight Yinsha Masters busy.

Qu Jianlei frowned and released his Golden Core Aura, snorting coldly, "Get out of the way!"

Several masters were stunned by the shout, feeling dizzy and like vomiting, angry that they were being bullied at their own doorstep.

They were about to burst out in anger but realized that the opponents were Golden Core Masters from the Crimson Pheonix, and moreover… there were two of them.

In that case, it was better to just move aside quietly.

Qu Jianlei inquired and learned that Feng Jun had left, so he and Xiao Meng disappeared into the outskirts of the Fang Market—two Masters together should not be afraid, but given the vicinity of Yinsha and the tense atmosphere, it was better to be cautious.

Almost simultaneously, Master Busheng and Master Sumiao appeared in a neighboring Fang Market—Master Busheng was also cautious.

As for Master Guyue and Xia Nichang, they left after the last few transmission arrays. They possessed very fast flying boats and would not continuously use the transmission array, otherwise, it would be too conspicuous.

These three batches of six Masters all set off from White Pebble Beach, almost simultaneously heading towards the Yinsha Sect, a situation not only noticed by the Yinsha Sect but even many civilian gossip enthusiasts observed it.

Why? Because seeing paired Masters was exceedingly rare, usually seeing even one Master is difficult, but now people were seeing them in pairs.

Seeing paired Masters is not of concern, but the problem was that more than just one pair appeared, especially since one pair was from the Crimson Pheonix Sect, which inevitably led people to speculate.

This anomaly was quickly reported to the Crimson Pheonix Sect, whereupon Jiusha Executor stated, inform Hanpo to return quickly, also using the transmission array—make a big show of it, and directly transmit to the Yinsha Sect's transmission array.

Trying to hunt Crimson Pheonix's Golden Cores? You're still a bit immature. If you're capable, chase us to Yinsha's transmission array.

In the end, this was a matter of hunting and counter-hunting.

The direction of flight of Master Hanpo's team was about ten thousand miles from Jumu Market Town. Upon receiving the news, they grinned, "Oh, Feng Jun once lingered in Jumu Market Town. It's a pity we are flying a bit slow."

Master Lingbing suggested, "Then let's use the transmission from Jumu Market Town; otherwise, if a battle breaks out at home, the visiting Golden Cores are too many. We must strive to return quickly."

Master Yuewu said it wasn't suitable, "It's better to go to Linhai Square Market, where the passage to Wuyou Platform can directly reach Yinsha."

"We'll go to Jumu," Master Hanpo decided. "They all want to attack Yinsha, so we must clearly show our attitude to return to aid… What, are we still afraid of them?"

The three Masters discussed and agreed, then adjusted their direction, flying straight toward Jumu Market Town.

About forty thousand miles from Jumu Market Town, they suddenly saw fireworks indicating a ban on flying, and a voice shouted, "Stop the flying boat for inspection… Ten Directions is official business!"

Master Hanpo couldn't help but chuckle, "Ten Directions official business… even that counts?"

For Yinsha, Ten Directions' matters were not usually significant; now, with Ten Directions surrendering quickly, it was even less of a concern.

But upon further thought, Ten Directions now harbored deep resentment toward Yinsha, and while he could forcefully break through, Ten Directions would undoubtedly keep a grudge that might indeed cause great inconvenience.

Thus, the flying boat descended, and seeing that the opponent was merely a High Tier of Qi Refinement cultivator, he became increasingly annoyed, "Do you even know what you are doing?"

"Ten Directions official business," the Minor Qi Cultivator stiffened his neck and replied defiantly, "Either kill me or submit to our inspection… where you came from, where you're going, and what you're doing?"

"I have nothing to say to you," Master Hanpo waved his hand, "Contact your Da Meng Executor."

"Heh," the Minor Qi Cultivator chuckled drily, "Is my Executor someone just anyone can meet?"

He knew the opponent was powerful but didn't know to what extent. Still, he had confidence and wasn't afraid to ask.

"Then proceed with your check," Master Hanpo snorted coldly, "Yuewu, handle the communication."

There really wasn't much to negotiate here; Yuewu felt that saying even more than a few words was unnecessary. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly frowned, "Be careful, someone's attacking!"

Before his words ended, he was already slapped into a mash, and before him, appeared a Nine-Tailed White Fox towering over ten yards tall.

Among Yinsha's party of three Masters, two were high-rank and one initial stage; but Yuewu's role as an Initial Golden Core Stage was irreplaceable, and suddenly he was smashed into a pulp, the shock was indeed tremendous.

But Master Hanpo reacted immediately, his figure flashed and retreated two hundred miles away — encountering Feng Jun's retaliation, this was a battle of life and death,

but Master Lingbing, with a rather iron will, directly cast a talisman towards the white fox, "Heart-Questioning Spike."

Though called a Heart-Questioning Spike, it was essentially just a large ice spike, instantly forming and lethal, considered quite a formidable weapon of the Yinsha Sect. Even someone like Yue Qing, despite his rugged endurance, would have to dodge this blow instead of confronting it head-on.

However, the white fox didn't care, enduring the hit forcefully while simultaneously spewing a ball of fire towards Master Lingbing, flames soaring high, seemingly unavoidable.

Yet, Master Lingbing's agility was exceptional; his figure swiftly moved through space, creating trails of afterimages that kept flashing, refusing to engage directly with the white fox, using only long-range attacks.

This was the technique Feng Jun used in the last battle, Master Lingbing stubbornly couldn't catch up with Feng Jun's movements, appearing extremely clumsy, but this time he actively maneuvered and was even more skillful than Feng Jun was back then.

And the white fox was like Master Lingbing in the previous battle, chasing the opponent for an attack, now without the suppression of the Soul Suppressing Formation, its movements were even more agile, slightly surpassing Master Lingbing.

However, similar to last time's result, the one being chased was Master Lingbing, and the white fox couldn't catch up to him while he focused solely on evading.

Master Hanpo retreated two hundred miles first, raising a hand to strike at the minor Qi cultivator — this must be a counterfeit of the Ten Directions Platform.

But the minor Qi cultivator acted a step quicker, at the moment of Master Yuewu's ambush, he raised his hand and used a Teleportation Talisman, teleporting a little over ten miles away, yet this was enough to slightly break away from the battlefield.

When Master Hanpo gathered a large hand, intending to crush the person instantly, the person had already used another Teleportation Talisman.

Such actions were hard to pin down, Master Hanpo was about to unleash a Divine Sense attack, yet found that this person's teleportation destination was unknown. In this hilly, forested area, truly wanting to hide, seeking someone out would definitely require some time.

Master Hanpo also considered going deeper to investigate, to severely punish the petty scoundrel, but this thought merely flashed through his mind before he restrained it.

His current priority was assessing Master Lingbing's safety. Master Hanpo highly suspected Feng Jun was lurking nearby, planning a surprise attack on Lingbing — as only he carried the Prohibition Breaking Talisman.

The Golden Core level Prohibition Breaking Talisman was extremely rare; he managed to request one from the Yinsha, and reminded the people of Ten Directions Platform to carry one out too, agreeing that if they didn't use it, he would buy it from them.

In Master Hanpo's view, his actions were enough to respect the opponent. With the Soul-suppressing Great Array backing them, the chance of the opponent using a skill to unleash an attack with the Paralysis Talisman was minimal, and even if it did hit, it wouldn't necessarily need immediate prohibition breaking action.

With five Golden Cores plus three ascendants, as long as they could withstand Feng Jun and another Golden Core's attack, being hit with a Paralysis Technique was not a big deal. Just wait patiently for the effect to wear off.

Who would have thought, Feng Jun's combat prowess was astonishing, with many trump cards, the Ten Directions Platform's Prohibition Breaking Talisman not only wasn't used but was also confiscated by the opponent.

After a disastrous defeat, the Yinsha's three Golden Cores didn't rush back — it wasn't too late to evaluate the situation first.

With the three masters together, encountering risk was basically impossible, hence they didn't request additional Prohibition Breaking Talismans from the sect.

Even with such intentions, they were embarrassed to say anything; it would be laughed at — being scared to the core by a minor Feng Jun?

But fate played a cruel joke, they indeed ran into Feng Jun again, and Master Yuewu died immediately. Master Hanpo genuinely regretted — had he known it would turn out like this, he would have definitely requested another Prohibition Breaking Talisman from the sect!

While using techniques for long-range attacks against the white fox, Master Hanpo carefully inspected the surrounding area — Feng Jun might be hiding nearby. If so, did he have other Golden Core cultivators with him?

No matter what, at this moment, he would absolutely not abandon guarding Lingbing for the sake of chasing a minor Qi cultivator.

Master Hanpo, while cautiously remaining vigilant, continued to jointly assault the white fox.

He could see that the white fox's body was truly too durable, sturdier than Yue Qing's, even if he and Lingbing charged together, inflicting sufficient damage was difficult, thus there was no immediate need for encirclement.

At this time, he greatly missed Yuewu. If Yuewu, this Array Master, were still alive, with his formation cooperation, the chance of the three masters taking down the white fox would be quite high, not to mention injuring and defeating it.

Nonetheless, he was also seeking an opportunity for a decisive strike; yet such chances were rare, so patience was essential — living this long, he already understood the significance of patience.

But what he didn't anticipate was that the white fox was also waiting for an opportunity, and in the next moment, it finally caught Master Lingbing's trajectory, flicking a tail to send him flying.

Its attack was incredibly fast, with high frequency, so the destructive power wasn't substantial.

Yet utilizing this strike, it finally truly discerned his direction, thus extracting a talisman treasure: "Paralyze!"

Master Hanpo stared wide-eyed: Since when… did demon beasts also use human talismans?
