C689 I Returned to the Profound Heaven Sect

Profound Heaven Town lay just beneath the gates of the Profound Heaven Sect. Woo Zhengyang and his entourage, including a few junior martial artists, were followed by a throng of admirers, making for quite the impressive sight. Accompanying Woo Zhengyang were three stunning women: one exuded endless charm, another was irresistibly alluring, and the third, though slightly naive, had a unique appeal reminiscent of the girl-next-door.

What the crowd didn't know was that these three women were driving Woo Zhengyang to distraction. After noticing Woo Zhengyang holding Loong Zhiwu's hand, Bing Yue, feeling jealous, rushed to his other side and stubbornly clung to his hand, refusing to let go. Being pulled along by such a captivating woman was a dream for many men, and Woo Zhengyang couldn't honestly say he disliked it. However, Bing Yue's mysterious background and unpredictable behavior, possibly linked to the romantic misfortune Lee Yuanye had warned him about, left Woo Zhengyang feeling uneasy.

Thankfully, Hongnu didn't get involved. She followed quietly behind, a stark contrast to her usual teasing demeanor, sparing Woo Zhengyang further torment.

The group, along with the large crowd trailing them, soon arrived at the sect's gates. The recent commotion caused by the Invincible Cannon Car would have been hard to miss at such close range. The Profound Heaven Sect hadn't appeared, possibly because they were unsure of the situation and hesitant to leave the protection of their mountain array.

As everyone gathered at the mountain gate, there was still no sign of activity from the Profound Heaven Sect, which seemed odd.

“Boss, is this really your sect? You come back, and nobody’s here to greet you!” Hongnu said, standing up for Woo Zhengyang.

“Maybe they just don’t know I’m here. Besides, I’m just a regular disciple; it’s not like I need a welcoming committee,” Woo Zhengyang replied, though he found it strange himself.

“It’s not about the welcome, little brother; it’s about how you’re going to get in. I’ve wandered around here countless times trying to communicate with someone inside, but it’s been useless,” Bing Yue pointed out, leaving Woo Zhengyang at a loss.

The mountain protecting array blocks all powers, and while he did activate it, controlling the array requires being inside or having the activation token. Woo Zhengyang had neither the token nor was he inside, so opening a gate was impossible.

The array also blocked sound, meaning Woo Zhengyang couldn’t even call out to have someone open the door. It was embarrassing to arrive with such confidence, only to be stuck outside.

What frustrated Woo Zhengyang the most was that despite all the commotion, the Profound Heaven Sect hadn’t noticed anything. Who knows when they’d realize someone was outside? If this continued, Woo Zhengyang didn’t know how long he’d have to wait to get in. In front of everyone, the reputation he’d worked so hard to build might just crumble, turning him into a laughingstock!

Woo Zhengyang thought for a moment, then summoned the Invincible Cannon Car.

"Brother, you're not planning to use this thing to blast through your own sect's protective barrier, are you?"

"Seems like there's no other way," Woo Zhengyang replied helplessly. If only he'd thought to grab a control token, but who could have predicted he'd end up in that sealed world so unexpectedly?

"Well, using brute force on your own sect's defenses... only a madman like you would do that."

Not just Bing Yue, but everyone watching the spectacle was stunned by Woo Zhengyang's audacity. This guy had already blasted through the Heavenly Martial Sect and taken on dozens of martial kings, and now he was targeting his own sect.

Many of the martial kings who had once coveted the No Life Sword were now firmly resolved never to provoke such a madman in their lifetime.

"Boom..."

The main cannon of the Invincible Cannon Car fired, sending a massive energy blast crashing into the Profound Heaven Sect's protective barrier.

"Crash..."

The sound of something shattering echoed as the barrier broke into countless sparkling fragments.

At that moment, everyone finally witnessed the true power of the Invincible Cannon Car. The mountain-protecting array, which dozens of martial kings couldn't break despite their best efforts, was taken down in an instant.

This is practically a weapon of mass destruction!

Woo Zhengyang thought the mountain protecting array would open and close a few times, just like the one at the Heavenly Martial Sect. To his surprise, once it was hit, the barrier never came back up. It was clear that after being attacked by so many Martial Kings for so long, the array was at its breaking point.

With the array broken, there was finally some movement inside the Profound Heaven Sect. One by one, figures emerged with weapons in hand, ready to fight to the death. But when they saw their opponent, their faces changed dramatically.

What is this thing, so enormous? Was that earth-shattering attack just now unleashed by this creature?

"Liao Qinghua, you old scoundrel, today I’ll fight to the death to take you down!" Nie Fengyu's angry shout echoed within the sect. Then, with his battle spear, he and Uncle Fu charged out.

Like the other disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect, they were dumbfounded when they saw the Invincible Cannon Car outside the mountain gate. This thing was just too massive. If it were Liao Qinghua, they could fight desperately, but how could they take on something this big?

"Sect Leader, Uncle Fu, it's me!" Woo Zhengyang called out to them as he jumped down from the Invincible Cannon Car.

"Young Master, what are you doing out here?"

"Zhengyang? How did you end up here?" Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu exclaimed in unison.

"Why wouldn't I be out here?" Woo Zhengyang asked, puzzled, then suddenly understood.

Feeling like he'd been gone for months, Woo Zhengyang was surprised they hadn't even noticed his absence.

"Zhengyang, weren't you supposed to be meditating on Heavenly Death Peak? Did you hear something and come out? But wait, the two outside have been taking turns keeping watch, and they didn't see you leave!" Nie Fengyu said, puzzled.

Woo Zhengyang was speechless. They were still keeping watch, yet he had been missing for over half a year, and they hadn't realized it.

Thinking back, it made sense. When Woo Zhengyang activated that formation, even he hadn't anticipated the outcome, let alone Nie Fengyu and the others. After sealing the mountain, everyone agreed to focus on their training, so it was natural they assumed he was still meditating.

Yet, Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but feel frustrated. He had been worrying about them day and night in that other world, fearing they might notice his absence and start searching for him. Little did he know, they were completely unaware.

"This is a complicated matter, and it's not something I can explain quickly. Let's head back first, and I'll fill you in," Woo Zhengyang suggested.
