The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

"Pavilion Master, what's wrong with you?"

The Paper Fan Young Master noticed Feng Chuan's change in demeanor and quickly folded his fan, asking with concern.

"We've been exposed!"

Feng Chuan's face was grim. "Not long ago, those two fools Baiyu and Hong Miao dared to attempt to possess Li Wanqing and Gong Qingqiu of the Misty Sect, which led to their exposure. Truly like an old man hanging himself—courting death!"

Upon hearing this, Paper Fan Young Master, Zhu Yongfu, Dong Yuandong, and Xiao Fangu all had a dramatic change in expression.

"They actually tried to possess people of the Misty Sect?"

"Such utter fools!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Are they insane? The Misty Sect is not someone we can provoke right now! With Ye Feng and numerous Saint Realm experts holding the fort, they dominate Shenzhou—who dares mess with them?"

The group cursed angrily.

Now, with Hong Miao and Baiyu captured, they too were exposed, unable to return to Shenzhou.

The Misty Sect wielded absolute control there!

"Pavilion Master, what should we do now?"

The Paper Fan Young Master asked hurriedly.

"What can we do? The entire Tianji Pavilion has been placed under a Starry Sky Kill Order, and now the Misty Sect and all major factions of Shenzhou are hunting us down."

Feng Chuan gritted his teeth in anger.

At this moment, they were like rats crossing the street, hated and hunted by everyone, completely unable to set foot in Shenzhou again.

From now on, they could only hide in the starry skies.

"This is truly tragic!"

"All because of Baiyu and Hong Miao."

"Why are those two still alive!"

Zhu Yongfu, Paper Fan Young Master, and others kept cursing.

"Luckily we found an excuse to leave Shenzhou earlier, narrowly avoiding this calamity."

Feng Chuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Not long ago, he consolidated his Saint Realm cultivation but chose not to stubbornly challenge Xiao Cangtian of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone again. Instead, he sought out Hong Miao and Baiyu.

Using the pretense of venturing deeper into the starry sky to locate large and super-large Spirit Veins, Feng Chuan had brought Tianji Pavilion's upper echelons into the depths of the starry sky.

Initially.

Feng Chuan's plan was simple.

He merely wanted to avoid staying under the oppressive thumb of Hong Miao and Baiyu.

Since both had set restrictions within Feng Chuan's body, they felt assured that he couldn't play tricks and therefore allowed him to journey into the starry sky.

Unexpectedly, this very decision saved Feng Chuan.

"Hehehe!"

Thinking about this, Feng Chuan felt a stroke of luck.

Ever since stepping into the depths of the starry skies, he discovered the restrictions Hong Miao and Baiyu placed within him had noticeably weakened. With his newly achieved Saint Realm cultivation and expanded methods, he successfully hid deep within a star and resolved the restrictions, becoming completely free.

"Now, no one can restrain me anymore. From this day forward, our Tianji Pavilion will grow strong while residing in the starry skies!"

Feng Chuan laughed loudly.

"Pavilion Master, I was formerly part of the Prophet Clan and am quite familiar with various places in the starry skies. I can act as a strategist."

The Paper Fan Young Master immediately stepped forward.

"Pavilion Master, we can all assist you."

Zhu Yongfu, Dong Yuandong, Xiao Fangu, and others all expressed their eagerness to be of use.

"Good!"

Feng Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

As the pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion now, he still had several capable subordinates under his command, especially the Paper Fan Young Master and Zhu Yongfu, who had cultivated the Prophet Clan's Deduction Technique. Their ability to deduce fortune and opportunities was highly advantageous.

Dong Yuandong, who was fused with the souls of Dong Qiang, Dong Dongqiang, and Hu Yuan, exhibited extraordinary talent and unswerving loyalty. He could be cultivated into a top-tier enforcer in the future.

As for Xiao Fangu…

He was a former disciple of the Misty Sect who eventually betrayed the sect. Though his aptitude was only average, he could still be trained as a higher-level enforcer, second only to Dong Yuandong.

Thinking of this, Feng Chuan envisioned a bright future for himself.

"Pavilion Master, since Tianji Pavilion has been blacklisted and placed under a Starry Sky Kill Order, should we continue using this name when dealing with the outside world?"

Paper Fan Young Master voiced his concern.

"The name Tianji Pavilion cannot be changed!"

Feng Chuan's determination was unwavering. "When dealing with the outside world, we can choose not to reveal our identity, merely claiming to be a mysterious ancient force."

"Understood, Pavilion Master."

The Paper Fan Young Master nodded.

"Next, we'll leave this Life Star and head toward even deeper regions of the starry sky."

With his hands clasped behind his back, Feng Chuan declared.

Whoosh!

As he swept his grand sleeves, a fierce gale enveloped them all, propelling them skyward, tearing through space, and streaking toward the deeper reaches of the Northern Starry Sky.

...

Misty Sect, Elders' Hall.

The elders were seated in their respective positions.

Hong Miao and Baiyu's Primordial Spirits were pinned to two cruciform Soul Nurturing Woods, immobile and trapped for eternity, with smoke constantly rising from their bodies.

It was a byproduct of the Soul Nurturing Woods absorbing their soul power.

Normally, Soul Nurturing Woods served to foster souls, yet the restrictions set by Ling Zhiwei inverted its purpose, causing it to siphon soul power from Hong Miao and Baiyu instead.

"Please!"

"Spare us!"

"We know we were wrong."

"Set us free, and we will serve you loyally, even risking our lives if needed."

Hong Miao and Baiyu pleaded incessantly.

"Reveal Feng Chuan and Tianji Pavilion's whereabouts, or we will execute you immediately."

Gong Qingqiu threatened coldly.

To her, these two who attempted to possess her were utterly detestable, deserving complete annihilation.

"We originally placed restrictions inside Feng Chuan, but after ascending to Saint Realm, he went to the depths of the starry skies and hasn't returned since."

"Moreover, our sense of connection to him has grown extremely faint… Wait! It's entirely gone now!"

"He must have resolved the restrictions!"

"What a cunning Feng Chuan! He actually deceived us into believing his venture into the starry sky to locate Spirit Veins was genuine, when his true goal was to break free!"

Hong Miao and Baiyu finally realized what had transpired.

"Heh! What good are you now?"

Gong Qingqiu rolled her eyes.

At present, Feng Chuan's aura had completely disappeared, vanishing without a trace. He likely acquired an artifact capable of concealing his presence entirely.

Gong Qingqiu turned to Ling Zhiwei, asking, "Elder Ling, can you pinpoint Feng Chuan's coordinates?"

Ling Zhiwei happened to be a Space Holy Roc.

In Gong Qingqiu's view, with Ling Zhiwei's powerful spatial talent, locating Feng Chuan should be a trivial matter.

"No."

Ling Zhiwei shook her head.

"Huh?"

"Why not?"

The group was taken aback.

Even the Ancient Spirit Immortal Venerate looked surprised.

"The starry sky surrounding Shenzhou Continent is incredibly complex, filled with hidden Heavenly Dao secrets of the highest order. I can only vaguely deduce Feng Chuan is somewhere within the Northern Starry Sky, but pinpointing his exact location is impossible."

Ling Zhiwei looked toward Misty Peak and continued, "Perhaps, within the entire starry sky, only the Sect Leader or Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao can locate Feng Chuan's coordinates."

She, too, felt helpless.

Neither her spatial abilities in the Immortal Realm Universe nor the Three Thousand Realms Universe encountered such hindrance; only within this starry sky did such limitations emerge.

Ling Zhiwei thus deduced the starry sky had profound depths and might even be under the ancient protection of a Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse.

Or perhaps, long ago, this place had been safeguarded by a Heavenly Venerable.

"Since we can't determine Feng Chuan's exact location, may I ask our elders to investigate the Northern Starry Sky when the opportunity arises?"

Gong Qingqiu glanced at the seated elders.

"No problem."

The group nodded.

"What about these two?" Li Wanqing gestured toward Baiyu and Hong Miao pinned to the Soul Nurturing Woods.

"These two should die a thousand deaths, but we must wait for the Sect Leader to emerge from seclusion and let him personally decide."

Gong Qingqiu explained.

She dared not act on her own regarding the fate of Hong Miao and Baiyu, preferring to leave their judgment entirely to Ye Feng.

"Great!"

Upon hearing they would be handed over to Ye Feng and not immediately executed, Hong Miao and Baiyu involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of reprieve from impending doom.
