Zhao Ming, Jing Yunzhi, and the rest looked at Feng Yunsheng and Sikong Qing, comforting them, "Elder Fu is definitely blessed by the heavens."
"Perhaps she and senior apprentice-brother Yan are the same as the old Chief."
The old Chief Yuan Zhengfeng had been lost amidst the chaotic flows of space, his whereabouts unknown. While they of Broad Creed Mountain were worried, it also provided them with some consolation on some other matters.
For example, regarding Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu's disappearance, Broad Creed Mountain had declared internally that the two had met with the same fate as Yuan Zhengfeng.
Only those of the higher echelon as well as people like Feng Yunsheng and Yin Liuhua who had previously travelled with Fu Enshu knew that Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu's situation was a complete mystery.
Saying that he was missing was more to reassure himself.
Logically speaking, any cultivator below the Martial Saint Realm who was sucked into the seal would definitely die.
However, Feng Yunsheng's gaze was firm. She nodded and said, "Yes, Master and the others will return safely."
After chatting for a while, they suddenly saw a dignified middle-aged man walking over from the other end of the mountain path.
Upon seeing this, Feng Yunsheng and the others saluted.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Chang."
"Greetings, Elder Chang."
This authoritative-looking middle-aged man was precisely Broad Creed Mountain's current First Seat Elder, Chang Zheng.
Chang Zheng looked at everyone and said, "It's getting late. Go back and rest."
His tone was very easygoing, without any intention of reprimand. Hearing this, everyone said, "Elder is right."
Chang Zheng looked at Feng Yunsheng, saying, "There are only a hundred days until the Seventh Extreme Yin Bout. During this period of time, you and junior apprentice-niece Yin should remain in the Mountains and not go out. Cultivate and prepare seriously."
Feng Yunsheng replied, "Yes, Martial Uncle Chang. I understand."
Chang Zheng continued, "Junior apprentice-brother remains in the East Sea, while junior apprentice-sister Fu's and Zhaoge's whereabouts are currently unknown. Regarding the cultivation of the power of extreme yin, the two of you cannot relax."
"Martial Nephew Yin, you entered the sect late and your cultivation level is low. Junior Sister Fu and Zhaoge need you to summarize the rules. Are you done?"
Feng Yunsheng answered, "I've already done it and given it to Martial Uncle Wang."
Chang Zheng nodded, "Junior apprentice-sister Wang will temporarily guide you in your cultivation. It is just a matter of daily martial arts cultivation. She has only just begun to nurture the power of extreme yin, and it is still very close to the seventh round of Extreme Yin Dampness. This time, it will be up to you all to work hard."
Feng Yunsheng bowed. "Don't worry, Martial Uncle. I understand."
Chang Zheng said, "Alright, go back and rest early."
After Feng Yunsheng and the others bowed and bid their farewells to Chang Zheng, they returned to their respective residences. Chang Zheng fell into deep contemplation as he watched Feng Yunsheng's departing figure.
Now, a Broad Creed Mountain disciple came to look for Chang Zheng. Seeing the other party's rather panicked expression, Chang Zheng knit his brows slightly, "Calm yourself in times of trouble, what is it?"
While he had been admonished, the panic on this Broad Creed Mountain disciple's face did not lessen.
Hearing the report, a look of surprise also appeared in Chang Zheng's eyes, "There was such a matter?"
He composed himself and thought for a while before saying, "Don't make this public yet. Bring them to the Punishment Hall to see me."
After that disciple had left, Chang Zheng stood unmoving where he was for a long time, an indistinct voice resounding in the air, "Could it be the will of heaven …"
Feng Yunsheng returned to her residence, sitting down in the meditative position as she silently cultivated.
Her heart jolted slightly as she took out her accompanying Shadow Shrinking Pouch. Opening it, she instantly frowned.
Pouring out a few fragments that resembled crystals from the Shadow Shrinking Pouch, Feng Yunsheng felt puzzled, "Why did they suddenly shatter? It seems to have been triggered by some external force. "
Those crystal fragments resembled weathered sand sculptures as they shattered unceasingly in Feng Yunsheng's palm, finally turning into fine powder that dissipated within the air.
Feng Yunsheng tried to use her aura-qi to protect it, but it was to no avail.
This was something that resembled a spiritual orb that she had inadvertently obtained in the East Sea after the seal had been formed and the heavens and earth had fallen into chaos.
After pondering for a while, Feng Yunsheng discovered that she was unable to grasp the gist of it.
There was nothing stored within the orb, and it also did not contain any spiritual energy, much less any danger.
After pondering, Feng Yunsheng could only feel that this thing seemed to be a supplementary item of some unique treasure. Seeing that there was nothing to gain from it, she had just kept it in her Shadow Shrinking Pouch and kept it with her.
There had never been any problems before. Who knew that something would suddenly happen today?
"This seems to be a supplementary item of some treasure. Now that something has happened, perhaps it has been triggered by that treasure?" Feng Yunsheng pondered, "Where exactly did it come from?"
The orb shattered and turned into dust, leaving no traces behind. Feng Yunsheng vaguely felt that it was rather strange, but could not understand why.
A night passed. Feng Yunsheng pushed open the door to her room, welcoming the morning sunlight as she walked out.
She was about to call Yin Liuhua when someone came looking for her outside.
Seeing that it was an Elder of the Disciplinary Hall who had come, Feng Yunsheng could not help but be slightly taken aback. Asking what was the matter, the other party only said that it was the First Seat Elder Chang Zheng who wanted her to make a trip to the Disciplinary Hall.
After arriving at the Disciplinary Hall, Feng Yunsheng saw that other than Chang Zheng, the Grand Elder Zhang Kun was shockingly present as well.
Having consecutively experienced major events, Broad Creed Mountain had suffered great losses. Currently, the two Grand Elders Zhang Kun and He Ning held the highest positions in the Mountain.
Elder He had been injured in the battle of the East Sea and was currently recuperating in secluded cultivation. Meanwhile, Elder Zhang was mostly helping the heavily injured and unconscious Fang Zhun, not appearing easily.
Now that he had actually appeared in the Disciplinary Hall, something extremely important must have happened.
After Feng Yunsheng greeted Chang Zheng and Zhang Kun, Chang Zheng said nothing, just indicating for her to wait by the side.
A short while later, yet another Elder arrived. It was the First Seat Elder of the East Heaven Region, Elder Qin, whom Feng Yunsheng had met once before.
Currently, a great many longtime Elders of Broad Creed Mountain had died in battle. Elder Qin was already one of the few who remained.
After Yan Di had become Chief, the position of First Seat Elder of the Martial Inheritance Hall had been taken over by another Elder. However, this Elder had perished in the great battle of the Earth Domain this time.
Elder Qin had returned to the Mountain this time to assume the position of First Seat Elder of the Martial Inheritance Hall.
After everyone had taken their seats, Chang Zheng looked at Feng Yunsheng, asking slowly, "Junior apprentice-niece Feng, I have asked you to come this time because I want you to tell me again about the matter of junior apprentice-sister Fu having been ambushed alongside you in the East Sea previously."
Feng Yunsheng found it rather strange as she answered, "That day, Master, junior apprentice-sister Yin and I were travelling together. The Flame Devils rampaged in the Outer East Sea, the two sides engaged in a great battle. Chief and the others were about to establish the seal, the situation becoming even more chaotic."
"As we were battling with the Flame Devils, the Grand Elder of the Sacred Sun Clan, Meng Feng, appeared. From his words and actions, it did not seem like a coincidence. Instead, he had specifically attacked us after confirming our position."
"I was separated from Master and junior apprentice-sister Yin. As the frenzied tides caused by the seal swept outwards, I tried to retreat. Afterwards, I heard martial practitioners of the other clans mention that they saw Master and Meng Feng being swept along by the power of the seal from afar, vanishing without a trace."
"Afterwards, an Elder of the clan found me and junior apprentice-sister Yin, bringing us back to the Mountain."
Hearing Feng Yunsheng's words, Chang Zheng looked at her, only asking after a while, "You also feel that it was not a coincidence? Then, how do you think the Sacred Sun Clan found your whereabouts? "
Feng Yunsheng felt that something was wrong as she saw Chang Zheng, Zhang Kun and Elder Qin all staring at her.
"Senior apprentice-uncle Chang, you seem to be implying something." Feng Yunsheng sucked in a deep breath, "I feel that it was not a coincidence. It was because the Sacred Sun Clan's Meng Feng said 'Indeed here, let's see where you can run to'. Therefore, I deduced that he knew our whereabouts."
"However, this disciple does not understand how he knew."
Chang Zheng looked calmly at her, saying mildly, "Is that so? But now, there is a lone warrior who is familiar with our sect, and he has accused you of revealing Junior Sister Fu's whereabouts. "(To be continued.)
