Chapter 2590: Chapter 2582: The Troubles of Happiness

When Feng Jun spoke, everyone else fell silent.

In fact, several people were eager to speak, but one glance at the True Sage, and they said nothing.

The Xiong Family has its own True Sage, so even if someone were to speak, it wouldn’t be their turn.

"Isn’t it a secret realm?" the Xiong Family True Sage laughed, "Then what do you think this should be considered?"

"I don’t know what to consider it," Feng Jun responded vaguely, "I just don’t think it’s a secret realm."

"Then just say what you think," the Xiong Family True Sage gestured lightly, indicating indifference, "It doesn’t matter if you’re wrong."

Feng Jun’s face instantly dropped, "Great Sage, we need to know our limits when probing. I really’d like to respect you, and you know my insight—I’ve already figured out what this thing is. Do you really want me to say it?"

You should just say it, the Xiong Family True Sage wanted to reply, yet upon thinking further, his previous probes had already fully proven the other’s capabilities. Persisting now would add nothing more than amusement.

So he nodded, "Alright, then hang on for a moment, I’ll head inside."

"No worries, I’ve got things to do even when idle," Feng Jun raised his hand to conjure a spell, "I’ll place a marker."

"Isn’t that going too far?" The Xiong Family True Sage, experienced as he is, saw his spell and knew exactly what he intended, and furrowed his brows, "Setting a marker in my family’s secret realm—are you bullying the Xiong Family because no one’s here?"

Originally not daring to interrupt the ancestor’s conversation with outsiders, upon hearing this, the surrounding Xiong Family juniors immediately crowded over, with one at the Nascent Soul Middle Phase even suggesting, "Ancestor, should we kill him?"

"We can’t kill him; he’s also an ancient family descendant," the Xiong Family True Sage was quick to find an excuse, and directly bestowed Feng Jun with the title of ancient family descendant, though perhaps he really viewed him this way.

Then, his figure blurred and disappeared, and someone beside them immediately remarked, "The ancestor’s teleportation ability truly sets an example for us all."

But someone still glanced at Feng Jun with unfriendly eyes, "How did you end up right at our doorstep? What’s your surname?"

"Your ancestor brought me here, you can ask him," Feng Jun grumbled helplessly, "I heard the Xiong Family’s house rules are pretty strict, but it doesn’t seem that way?"

Are you qualified to judge the Xiong Family’s house rules? All the Xiong Family juniors felt a bit indignant inside, but... since the ancestor brought him, and they didn’t understand the internal dynamics, it was best not to speak for now.

It didn’t take much time... about an hour, the Xiong Family True Sage flashed back out, "It’s done, let’s go."

"I wanted to place a marker, but they won’t allow it," Feng Jun raised a hand, pointing at the aura ahead, "What should we do?"

"Then just don’t place it," the Xiong Family True Sage casually offered—he had no desire for the other to mark either.

"That won’t do," Feng Jun shook his head, "You’re aware this isn’t a secret realm; it can move."

"Its movement is quite troublesome," the Xiong Family True Sage explained briefly and, upon reflection, gestured again, "If you want to mark, go ahead; I can erase it later anyway."

Feng Jun looked at him speechlessly, "You’re certainly straightforward, no roundabout methods."

The Xiong Family True Sage had no interest in replying further. After witnessing him place the marker, he raised his hand intending to grab him.

"Let me handle it," Feng Jun took out his mobile phone and flashed it, "The True Sage can also experience my spatial manipulation."

Of course, the Xiong Family True Sage wouldn’t refuse, in fact, this suggestion was quite cordial of the opponent. If he could perceive anything in the space, it would be his good fortune. So he reached out and grabbed the other’s arm, "I’m keen to witness it."

With a swoosh, they both disappeared, and the Xiong Family juniors began to discuss, "Where’s that guy taking the ancestor?"

"Probably to the Broken Star Sea end," someone speculated, "Even if he wanted to sell the ancestor off, it’s just a divine spirit clone. Let’s hope that guy isn’t that foolish."

The Xiong Family True Sage indeed pondered where Feng Jun might take him.

However, just as the Xiong Family juniors analyzed, at most he’d lose a divine spirit—a loss, but Feng Jun needed to seriously consider the consequences of completely angering a divine spirit True Sage.

Feng Jun had no intention of scheming against him, simply transporting him back to the place they’d just left.

When they reappeared, the Xiong Family True Sage had his eyes closed and remained silent for about ten minutes before slowly opening his eyes and glancing at Feng Jun, "Can you still send me back later?"

"Sorry, I have other matters," Feng Jun declined bluntly, "If the True Sage hears any news from Lingmu Sect, we’ll meet again."

Wei Sancai laughed and said, "Do you understand the benefits of comprehending rules now? Don’t just focus on your own little things."

Xiong Family True Sage didn’t argue further and started calculating compensation for each family, beginning with the handling of Xiong Nan Ti.

He merely released a sphere of aura, and Han Hai True Sage felt it, then nodded, "Indeed fallen."

Then Xiong Family True Sage took out several Storage Bags—all items were in the Storage Bags and not displayed outside. This was not just for privacy protection but also to avoid comparisons that might cause more trouble. After he waved his hand slightly, he vanished.

Han Hai naturally collected the Storage Bags without any intention to show them, and he looked toward Feng Jun, "What’s next...?"

"Let’s discuss at my place," Yi Jue proactively invited everyone, "This space isn’t very stable."

After arriving at Kunshui Garden, everyone discussed for a while and concluded that Lingmu Sect couldn’t stir up trouble again in the short term—the pressure Xiong Family True Sage had for solving the case was significant.

If Lingmu Sect had people within Xiong’s family, they would know that Feng Jun’s camp now included another Divine Spirit True Sage.

In this situation, whoever still dared to take action against Feng Jun would face severe consequences.

Once everyone agreed on this, Wei Sancai fell into a sweet dilemma, "Ah, I want to go to the Insect World, and also to the Void, and I want to retreat to learn from Xiong’s family’s insights. I’m really struggling with time."

Han Hai True Sage looked at Yi Jue, "Regarding the battle Lingmu Sect is preparing, which alien race is it targeting? If it’s inconvenient, no need to mention it."

"Targeting the Asura," Yi Jue replied straightforwardly. Her preparations were already in place, so she couldn’t hide it from these allies. However, she emphasized, "I hope it won’t be spread around, as this is Lingmu Sect’s top secret."

After pausing for a while, she added, "This arrangement was suggested by Mountain Master Feng."

"Don’t worry, I won’t spread it," sure enough, upon hearing it involves Feng Jun, Wei Sancai was the first to promise, "However, I plan to gather some juniors for targeted exercises... It shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"Of course you can," Yi Jue was not a petty person. In fact, what Xiong Family True Sage mentioned about "three directions of alien races" made her aware of some potential crises, so she was not averse to the involvement of clan forces.

She even intended to recruit the Wei Family, "At that time, you support Lingmu Sect, and I will bring Wei Family juniors over. But I worry, the Void and Insect World might be more tempting for you."

"Ah," Wei Sancai sighed wistfully, but his mouth was grinning wide, "Really a delightful dilemma."

Can Sheng True Immortal decisively stated, "The top priority is certainly the Void, fighting the Asura is good, but the Insect World is really too big. Its cost-effectiveness isn’t high, as those two sects hold it tightly... Yao Family isn’t very interested in it."

"Hearing you all, I almost want the Xuanshui Sect to shift focus," Han Hai True Sage commented half-jokingly and half-seriously, then asked, "How long until the Asura arrives?"

"About five years," Yi Jue replied solemnly, "Of course, as time gets closer, some might trigger it early."

"Then it’s necessary to set a rule," Han Hai True Sage said more seriously, "Without prior preparation, many situations will be hard to manage... Yi Jue, I suggest you start handling this task first."

"I’ll let other Elders take care of it," Yi Jue thought the suggestion was good but had little interest in such matters, "I’m not good at socializing."

"Your Lingmu Sect Elders... I may not listen to them," Wei Sancai bluntly stated, "I reckon Han Hai shares the same attitude; you don’t need to be good at socializing, our support is enough, isn’t Ren Tu supporting you too?"

"I really can’t handle this," Yi Jue shook her head and glanced at Feng Jun again, "Do you think I should take care of this?"

"I don’t know, but I’m not interested," Feng Jun shook his head decisively, "Managing this kind of thing is too troublesome, coordinating various interests. I’d rather go kill bugs than spend time on squabbles."

"Exactly," Yi Jue nodded firmly, "That’s my thought too, just have an Elder arrange it, why trouble yourself with it?"

"Then I won’t oversee it either," Han Hai very decisively said, "I’ll arrange for a disciple to connect with Lingmu Sect. Next, won’t Mountain Master Feng resume taking people into the Void?"

"Taking people into the Void can resume, but... there’s a limit," Feng Jun said seriously, "Over in the Insect World, they’re very short on cultivators; I think Nascent Soul True Immortals should prioritize there. As for the Void, Golden Core will suffice, not many Nascent Soul needed."

"Leaving some Nascent Souls in the Void is necessary," Wei Sancai seriously said, "Last time, someone fell in the Void. Many dangerous things are beyond Golden Core’s ability."

"Many dangerous things aren’t even fit for Emergence Stage," Feng Jun helplessly spread his hands, "I’ve seen it more than once or twice. So when seeking treasures in the Void, the most important thing is caution, cultivation level is secondary."

Qian Zhong heard this and laughed, "Mountain Master Feng, have you already started planning for Tianqin as a whole?"
