Shi Fengchun led Ye Chen and Feng Wanli, crossing the virtual space.

At the same time, Shi Fengchun's power continuously surged into Feng Wanli's body.

However, Feng Wanli's wounds still could not heal, and the power lingering at the wound site continued to rampage, destroying Feng Wanli's vitality!

Seeing Feng Wanli growing weaker.

Ye Chen said, "Brother Chun, let me do it!"

Shi Fengchun responded with a hum and handed Feng Wanli over to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen focused his mind, a thread of ancient clan source swept out, under his control, this thread of ancient clan source charged to Feng Wanli's wound site.

Instantly.

Even the power that Shi Fengchun couldn't cope with began to dissipate under the impact of Ye Chen's ancient clan source.

A heart full of power slowly emerged at the great hole in Feng Wanli's chest, followed by the gradual restoration of bones and flesh.

The injury was somewhat contained, but Feng Wanli still appeared weak, after all, that power had eroded a substantial amount of Feng Wanli's vitality.

"Wanli, take Ye Chen and quickly return to the True Martial Hall!"

Shi Fengchun's brows furrowed, his tone carrying a hint of urgency. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"They've caught up?" Ye Chen asked.

Though unclear of the situation, seeing Shi Fengchun's expression made it evident that things were possibly spiraling out of control.

"I can't leave, teacher, I'll stay with you!" Feng Wanli's tone was firm.

Shi Fengchun said, "This minor trouble is nothing to me, but with you two youngsters here, I can't unleash my full potential to fight."

"Brother Feng, go!" Ye Chen shouted, a thread of ancient clan source thrown over as he spoke.

Brother Chun has always been mysterious, possessing numerous methods, especially when he erupts with death aura, he fights fiercely!

But Brother Chun using death aura poses a risk.

Although Brother Chun mentioned that the ancient clan source doesn't significantly suppress his death aura, Ye Chen still offered some; a minor effect is better than none!

"Go!"

Shi Fengchun coldly shouted, a wave of his arm sending abundant power to sweep Feng Wanli and Ye Chen away.

Feng Wanli took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, pulling Ye Chen as they once again vanished into the void, rapidly heading back to the True Martial Hall.

Watching Feng Wanli and Ye Chen depart, Shi Fengchun's grave expression dissipated, he turned, looking at the empty, dark void, calmly said, "Didn't expect just a broken stone, yet such a powerful guardian exists, I'm increasingly curious about what lies within that stone."

"Buzz!"

The void trembled.

A man charged forth violently, wielding a heavy ancient sword in hand, slashing at Shi Fengchun.

The heavy sword stirred up a terrifying force storm, the Emperor Realm Powerhouse's domain accompanying the strike aiming at Shi Fengchun.

Shi Fengchun coldly snorted, throwing a punch.

Death Law and Thunder Law simultaneously erupted, at the same time, gray death aura instantly filled Shi Fengchun's eyes.

"Boom!"

Shi Fengchun's power fiercely clashed against the massive Sword Qi, enhanced by the Emperor Realm Domain, exploding with a horrifying roar, causing the void to violently tremble.

The man wielding the heavy sword ceased further attack, his gaze focused, his tone surprised, "There's an ancient aura on you.

The Saint Realm boy earlier also had the same aura.

You both share identical ancient auras..."

Shi Fengchun's death aura faded from his eyes, he smiled and said, "We're of the same kind, maybe we could be friends, why not sit down and chat instead of fighting to the death?"

"You've coveted things you shouldn't, you're an enemy!" The man coldly shouted.

Shi Fengchun's smile vanished, he said, "It's not us coveting such things, but you overstepping the boundary. If you properly manage your own affairs, I wouldn't care, but you are stealing Cangzhou's fate!

I've always felt something was off, logically speaking, currently, Cangzhou already has a momentum, yet fate hasn't emerged; it's all your interference!"

The middle-aged man holding the heavy sword stared at Shi Fengchun, "Fate contest relies on one's capability."

Shi Fengchun coldly laughed, "I don't intend to vie with you because you're not qualified to touch Cangzhou's fate, Cangzhou's fate is fought for with blood and lives by countless people!"

"No need to pretend, you're just like us, you want to monopolize the fate."

"You're wrong." Shi Fengchun coldly laughed, "Listen carefully, I am Shi Fengchun, and have nothing to do with you."

"Admit or deny, you've discovered what I'm guarding, so you must die!"

Shi Fengchun's body surged again with death aura, his voice devoid of emotion coldly said, "You think you can kill me!?"

As he spoke, Shi Fengchun, carrying intense death aura, actively attacked the sword-wielding middle-aged man!

On the other side.

Feng Wanli, laden with worry, led Ye Chen through the void, heading to the True Martial Hall.

"Brother Feng, stop." Ye Chen said.

Feng Wanli: "I'll take you to a safe place first, then return to assist teacher."

Ye Chen shook his head, "Don't worry about Brother Chun there, to be frank, if there's a risk of Brother Chun being defeated, your presence would merely lead to death alongside him, altering nothing.

Why not tell me what's going on, I'll devise a solution?"

Feng Wanli hesitated.

Ye Chen said, "If you don't speak, no matter how clever I am, I can't help you and Brother Chun."

Feng Wanli clenched his teeth, "Teacher discovered something stealing Cangzhou's fate, then we investigated secretly, I found the source, it's a bizarre stone buried underground.

I had just unearthed the stone when someone appeared and heavily injured me.

Had it not been for that person needing to re-bury the stone, I wouldn't have escaped back.

I shouldn't have fled back, I've brought trouble to teacher... I've burdened him..."

"Stop!" Ye Chen immediately said, "You're saying that person buried the stone again?"

Feng Wanli nodded.

A gleam of excitement flickered in Ye Chen's eyes, "Brother Feng, let's go, unearth that stone and take it, then find Brother Chun.

If Brother Chun can't defeat the pursuer, we threaten to smash the stone!"

Hearing this, Feng Wanli found the strategy feasible, and promptly took Ye Chen to the area where the stone was discovered.

More than half an hour later, Feng Wanli led Ye Chen, emerging from the void.

Outside, lay lush green mountains and rivers.

Feng Wanli's brows furrowed.

"Brother Feng, what's wrong?"

"I clearly remember it's here, but... the environment has changed. When I escaped, not a blade of grass grew here!" Feng Wanli said.

Ye Chen focused his mind, his pupil power erupted, the insight of Martial Arts Celestial Eye activated to the utmost, only then did he vaguely discern a hint of the problem.

"The space overlapped!" Ye Chen's tone was grave, "Someone used unimaginable means to peel away a piece of heaven and earth and integrate it here, covering everything originally here.

Moreover, there's a terrifying grand array; I sense a fearsome aura capable of slaughtering Saints effortlessly!"

Feng Wanli looked at Ye Chen, "There's no other way, I'll pierce this space covering the surface, as for the array... I'll have to barge through!"

"No, once you punch through the overlaying space, the array will be instantly triggered; Brother Feng, your injuries are yet healed, forcefully breaking through the array is sheer suicide!"

"I must retrieve that cursed stone to save teacher!" Feng Wanli said, his anxious expression showing resolve!

Ye Chen said, "Let me do it, in haste chasing you, he hastily set up an imperfect array, with a few obvious flaws."

"Tell me the flaws of the array, I'll go in." Feng Wanli said, "Your strength is lacking; if any mishap occurs, you won't withstand it."

Ye Chen said, "Telling you is futile, the array continuously changes, those flaws aren't fixed.

Moreover, should you venture in, if someone returns, I can't hold them off, and we'll both perish.

I'll go in, you stay here, and should someone come, you're more capable than me; once I bring out the stone, opponents will hesitate!"

Feng Wanli thought it over and found Ye Chen's reasoning sensible, thus he said, "Be careful!"

Ye Chen grinned, "Await my good news."
