"Moreover, based on the current timeline, Situ Zihan should be out looking for you." Xiaoying's eyes sparkled with amusement as she thought about her master's plan.
Feng Yuqin sighed helplessly. "Situ Zihan is just too self - centered. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go in person. After all, she has so many subordinates but doesn't make good use of them."
"She's probably been so provoked by you that she can't think straight anymore." Xiaoying recalled how Situ Zihan had been led around by her master ever since they'd met.
Such an opponent was really no challenge at all.
"Put Situ Zihan's matter on hold for now." Feng Yuqin had a sharp intuition that the Starfall Hall wouldn't just sit back and do nothing.
So, what would their next counter - attack be?
Feng Yuqin stared at the two fighting forces, her mind racing.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit her, and she instantly realized what had been bothering her.
"Hun Bing, try to sense inside the Starfall Hall. See if you can detect any powerful experts in there without being noticed." Feng Yuqin's words perked Hun Bing up.
"I'll give it a try." Hun Bing said, then slowly extended her spiritual sense into the formation.
Feng Yuqin had the spiritual sense aura of a human, so she would be detected as soon as she tried to probe the formation.
But Hun Bing was different. She could blend in with all things.
Whether it was sensing spiritual vein mines or formation barriers, she was less likely to be detected.
Previously, due to the formation's obstruction, Hun Bing hadn't noticed anything amiss.
Feng Yuqin's discovery was more of an instinct for danger.
Not long after Hun Bing's spiritual sense entered, she detected several powerful auras.
"Master, there's a very powerful person inside, and they're still leveling up." Hun Bing reported the situation to Feng Yuqin. "Moreover, I don't like the auras on them. I always feel that there's something wrong with their leveling - up method."
"Leveling up with secret techniques?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"It's a bit like that." Hun Bing wasn't very sure. "They're very powerful, so I didn't dare to get too close."
Feng Yuqin told Hun Bing to withdraw, then sent a spiritual sense message to Ming Zilin. "Do you know if there are more powerful experts in the Starfall Hall, like grand elders?"
Ming Zilin paused his movements when he heard Feng Yuqin's voice. He immediately asked while dealing with the enemy, "How does Doctor Feng know this? Have you discovered something?"
Now that they were allies, Feng Yuqin didn't hide anything and told him what Hun Bing had told her.
Ming Zilin was no longer calm after hearing this. He immediately withdrew from the battle circle and came to Feng Yuqin. "Are you sure the information is accurate?"
"Not sure." Feng Yuqin shook her head. "But I think the probability of it being true is relatively high. So, in this situation, does your Nether Palace have any powerful experts who can fight against those powerful auras inside?"
"I'll contact my father right away." Ming Zilin knew the situation was urgent.
Although Feng Yuqin wasn't sure, it was still right to prepare in advance.
"Old Man Ke, your Nether Palace has gone too far!" The grand elder of the Starfall Hall faced off against the grand elder of the Nether Palace.
The two were originally evenly matched in strength.
Now, because of this incident, the battle was so intense that there were no survivors in the areas they passed through.
The two first fought from the ground into the air, and then from the air back to the ground.
Elder Ke snorted and continued to attack quickly, accurately, and fiercely. "People from your Starfall Hall must have amnesia. Have you already forgotten so soon that you came to cause trouble in our Nether Palace not long ago?"
The grand elder of the Starfall Hall was left speechless.
However, this grand elder had a thick skin.
"That was your Nether Palace's own fault. If you weren't so arrogant, would our Starfall Hall have taken action against you?" The grand elder's words made everyone who heard them want to curse him for being shameless.
The battle here was getting more and more intense.
To avoid hurting the innocent, the elders of the Starfall Hall and the Nether Palace directly locked their battle in the air.
How could other forces not know about such a battle?
Two of the four major forces were fighting.
How could the other two forces not be aware?
On the top floor of the Nine - Level Tower sat two extremely handsome men, one in black and the other in purple.
"The two forces that have been at peace for so many years have suddenly started fighting for no apparent reason." Zong Tian'ao, the master of the Purple Light Pavilion, sounded a bit incredulous.
After all, if these two forces fought, it would surely end in mutual defeat.
Jiu Tianhua, the master of the Nine - Level Tower, gave Zong Tian'ao a speechless look. "Although you've just left seclusion, don't you even ask your subordinates what's going on outside?"
Zong Zichen said nonchalantly, "What could be going on in the Xuan Yu Realm? The people from the hermit families haven't emerged yet. What kind of waves can the remaining forces make?"
Anyway, if the people from the hermit families had shown any signs of activity after he left seclusion, his subordinates would surely have informed him immediately.
Since they hadn't said anything, he didn't think there was any major problem.
Jiu Tianhua rubbed his forehead. "Then you've missed out on a lot of good news. The Xuan Yu Realm has been quite busy lately."
Both of them had been in seclusion.
They had only left seclusion one day apart.
But as soon as Jiu Tianhua left seclusion, he had his subordinates tell him everything that had happened during his seclusion.
This included the stir that Feng Yuqin, who had only recently appeared in the Xuan Yu Realm, had caused.
Such a person who could cause such a stir in such a short period of time couldn't be an ordinary person.
So he had investigated and discovered a lot of things.
"Do you know that the deity of the Phoenix God position in the Divine Realm has appeared?" Jiu Tianhua asked.
Zong Zichen, who had been reclining leisurely in his chair eating fruit, paused.
Then he threw the fruit in his hand into the fruit plate beside him, sat up straight, and stared at Jiu Tianhua. "Is what you said true? Has the deity of the Phoenix God really appeared?"
Jiu Tianhua nodded.
"Where?" Zong Zichen asked.
Jiu Tianhua shook his head.
Seeing this, Zong Zichen said irritably, "Can you say something more useful besides just nodding and shaking your head?"
Jiu Tianhua retorted defiantly, "You have your own people. Can't you just investigate it yourself?"
Zong Zichen: "..."
After a moment, seeing that Jiu Tianhua wouldn't say more, Zong Zichen immediately called his subordinates and asked about what had happened in the Xuan Yu Realm during this period.
Soon, Zong Zichen locked his target on Feng Yuqin.
"Are you talking about Feng Yuqin?" Zong Zichen stared at Jiu Tianhua and asked.
Jiu Tianhua narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced in the direction of the fierce battle between the Starfall Hall and the Nether Palace. "Didn't you just listen to your subordinates' report? What do you think?"
