"Heavens!"

"Sect!"

"Second senior brother!"

...

Upon regaining his senses, the Holy Soul Sect’s base was in complete chaos. Everyone’s eyes were red, and upon seeing the scene in the distance, their hearts felt a tearing pain, rushing together towards the sect’s base, now turned into a sea of fire...

"Pfft!"

Seeing the scene before him, Xiao Tianrong could no longer control himself, spurting a mouthful of blood. His eyes bulged so much they nearly tore, with two streams of bloody tears flowing down, his gritted silver teeth making a creaking noise, and blood gushed out of the corners of his mouth!

He never dreamed that the other party would dare to target the sect’s base, nor did he expect the Sect Protection Array couldn’t withstand the shockwave, causing a terrible loss to the sect. This was all his responsibility, which he truly couldn’t bear! Seeing the sect destroyed like this, thinking of countless sect members dying miserably in the shockwave, his heart surged with rage, wishing to rush to Earth right away and tear everyone there to pieces!

But he knew he couldn’t do that; if he lost his mind, the exploration of the Source of All Immortals would inevitably face problems. Even as furious as he was now, he had to hold it in and wait until after conquering Earth to settle this score!

With this in mind, he bore the severe pain in his heart, turned to the various sect leaders, and said, "You all have seen; the other party possesses such destructive power that if we don’t unite, who can survive?"

At this moment, all the sect leaders were speechless. Faced with such an irresistible, almost natural disaster scene, they felt utterly powerless. Such a level of attack was unbearable even for the Holy Soul Sect. What could their sects compare?

Seeing the people looking like this, Xiao Tianrong continued, "The most urgent task now is to figure out what means the other party used. Otherwise, we’re all at risk, and none can stay unscathed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. The other party’s attack was indeed terrifying. If they don’t figure out how it was executed, when the Immortal Realm’s army pours into Earth, and this happens again, countless more will die. Without solving this problem, none dare to invade Earth!

With this in mind, everyone tried to come up with solutions. At this time, an Earth Immortal Realm late-stage ancestor from Shadowless Trace stepped forward and said to Xiao Tianrong, "Sect Master Xiao, let me handle it. I will catch an Earthling to interrogate, to clarify what those explosions were and what blocked the space passage. I estimate I’m the only one who can achieve this."

Hearing the voice, everyone focused on the elder, and their eyes brightened. This person was Ancestor Xuanying, unrivaled in speed in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, and proficient in hiding techniques, the king of assassins before Hidden Kill appeared. Indeed, only Ancestor Xuanying was most suitable for this task now!

"We count on you, Ancestor Xuanying. This mission is full of danger, so avoid hard confrontation and prioritize preserving strength and safety! We’re waiting for your news, waiting for your return!" Xiao Tianrong seriously said to Ancestor Xuanying. The mission was perilous; he didn’t want Xuanying to get into trouble. Obtaining information about the other side of Earth was the most important now!

"Rest assured, everyone. It’s just gathering intel; no one can stop me," Ancestor Xuanying said, nodding to Xiao Tianrong and the sect leaders. He was very confident in his speed, with absolute assurance of self-preservation even in full power, and even if he encountered Lin Feng, he had confidence he could escape.

Hearing this, everyone saluted Ancestor Xuanying, and with that, Ancestor Xuanying vanished from their sight.

It must be said, Ancestor Xuanying’s speed was indeed incredibly fast, almost indescribable. Though not as exaggerated as instantaneous movement, it was beyond normal perception. In merely a breath’s time, he traversed the space passage, immediately transforming into an invisible wind and disappearing, even unnoticed by the Holy Wind Sect guards.

Ancestor Xuanying understood that entangling with those within the Defensive Array posed great danger to him, but capturing someone was relatively easy. However, to his immense frustration, after circling at terrifying speed for an entire day, he found not a single soul, not even any Demon Beasts or animals!

Something’s wrong!

An ominous thought crossed his mind. He only then realized he might have entered a Formation, specifically a super Maze Formation beyond his imagination; with Lin Feng’s terrifying Formation skills, setting up such a Formation was entirely possible!

Most crucially, he had only superficial knowledge of Formations, having no means of breaking out from one that trapped him. Even if he wanted to return to the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, he couldn’t. What should he do now! Thinking over and over, he found no good solution, and helpless, he could only keep moving, hoping by sheer luck to find a way out of this dreadful maze.

In a blink, another half-day passed, and Ancestor Xuanying grew more anxious, still with no clues. Desperate, he stopped to ponder over his limited Formation knowledge, realizing without escaping, he might die there.

Just as he was mulling over Formation knowledge, something entirely unexpected happened...

"Didn’t expect someone to come here."

The voice was light but nearly scared Ancestor Xuanying to death. With a panicked expression, he looked toward the source; there stood a young man looking just over twenty, causing Xuanying’s eyes to nearly pop out of surprise. With no time to think, he wanted to escape!

Facing Lin Feng, he knew he had no chance of resisting. Even combating Lin Feng held no survival possibility, and his only reliance was his speed, hoping unmatched speed might save him from this peril.

But this was merely wishful thinking for Ancestor Xuanying. As soon as he unleashed his full speed to escape, he hadn’t gone far when he suddenly struck an invisible wall, nearly killing him upon collision. Suddenly thrown back, his head buzzed violently, twitching uncontrollably on the ground. His speed had been far too fast, and with no reaction time, the crash was brutal!

"You can’t outrun me. Tell me, what is your goal?" Lin Feng stood a short distance from Ancestor Xuanying, calmly asking, puzzled at what the other was attempting. If not for his pre-placed super Maze Formation trapping this guy, something significant might have happened.

"I..." Hearing Lin Feng, Ancestor Xuanying’s complexion changed, almost answering but stopped abruptly. These matters absolutely couldn’t be told to Lin Feng. Doing so would make crossing the space passage even harder for Immortal Realm!

"Unwilling to talk?" Lin Feng saw Ancestor Xuanying hesitating and indicted coldly, then he made a few gestures mid-air. Instantly, several lines of Gang Qi flew out, binding Xuanying to the ground, rendering him immobile; Xuanying’s eyes widened in sheer panic, sweating coldly at the sight of Lin Feng!

"Impossible!" In utter shock, Ancestor Xuanying exclaimed, witnessing Lin Feng’s terrifying prowess, which could, with a simple motion, restrain even someone of his Earth Immortal Realm’s late stage. What level of power was this? His imagination failed to account for such strength. Finally, he understood why Lin Feng managed to injure six high-ranking ancestors with one strike. This level of power was beyond comprehension!

At this moment, the boundless space lingered in Ancestor Xuanying’s heart, watching Lin Feng with eyes brimming with dread, filled with regret. Had he known Lin Feng was at such a super powerhouse level, he would never have come. This was suicidal; before such a super powerhouse, he... he couldn’t even control his death!

Seeing Ancestor Xuanying’s expression and hearing his words, Lin Feng shook his head and said to Xuanying, "Since you won’t speak, it doesn’t matter."

After speaking, Lin Feng closed his eyes. His indescribably powerful Divine Sense tore through Ancestor Xuanying’s Sea of Consciousness, searching through all his information. Xuanying, now drenched in blood, twitched intensively, akin to having tendons pulled out.

Shortly after, Lin Feng reopened his eyes, and at that moment, Ancestor Xuanying stopped breathing. Gazing at Xuanying’s body, a cold curve appeared on Lin Feng’s lips. He hadn’t expected the Immortal Realm to harbor such plans. Had Xuanying obtained the intel, it would pose significant trouble for Earth,

Contemplating this, he shook his head and vanished from the spot.

When he appeared at the entrance to the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, he began setting up complex formations. This time, the formations weren’t ordinary; without special methods, exiting the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm was impossible. This was his way to protect Earth’s Mortal World and all cultivators within the Secret Realm. If any Immortal Realmers managed to reach the Mortal World, it would cause chaos in the rear, detrimental to uniting everyone in battling!

Elsewhere, the Shadowless Trace Sect Master, with a mournful expression, approached Xiao Tianrong without uttering a word, handing him a shattered, gleaming Jade Medallion, instantly causing Xiao Tianrong’s face to change dramatically!
