C690 Nie Fengyu Who Was in a Hurry to Leave

"Go back? No way, the formation is already broken. That old fool, Liao Qinghua... Wait, where is that old fool, Liao Qinghua?" Nie Fengyu suddenly remembered why he had come out when he heard Woo Zhengyang mention going back, but something felt off.

"That old fool has already been pinned down in Profound Heaven Town by me," Woo Zhengyang replied.

"Pinned down in Profound Heaven Town? By you? How is that possible?" Nie Fengyu was full of disbelief.

"Why not? My master is quite powerful," Hongnu chimed in, walking over and linking arms with Woo Zhengyang.

"Master? Who are you?" Nie Fengyu asked, puzzled.

"I'm just the master's little servant!" Hongnu replied with a smile.

"Little servant! May I ask, what is your level of cultivation?" Nie Fengyu, who was already at the Reality Condensing Stage, couldn't fully discern Hongnu's power but sensed that this woman in red was definitely stronger than Liao Qinghua!

Yet she... called Woo Zhengyang her master?

"Don't worry about who she is for now. Take a look at who else is here!" Woo Zhengyang interrupted Nie Fengyu's questions.

"Who else?" Nie Fengyu asked, confused.

Woo Zhengyang nodded, then looked up at the Invincible Cannon Car and shouted, "You two, stop playing around..."

After shouting, Woo Zhengyang waved his hand and put away the Invincible Cannon Car.

Back in Profound Heaven Town, Bing Yue and Loong Zhiwu had shown interest in the Invincible Cannon Car. When they learned that Woo Zhengyang planned to bombard the Profound Heaven Sect's mountain protecting array, they eagerly volunteered to give it a try.

Woo Zhengyang, a disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, was hesitant to take action, so he handed over control of the Invincible Cannon Car to them. That last shot was their success, but after firing one round, they were still eager for more and started playing around with it. Now that the Invincible Cannon Car was put away, they had to come back down to the ground.

"Why'd you put it away? I wasn't done playing!"

"Yeah, you're being stingy, little brother. Why can't we fire it when you're not around? There are so many empty mountains in the Profound Heaven Sect; let us have some fun blasting a few..."

Listening to Loong Zhiwu and Bing Yue, Woo Zhengyang was relieved he hadn't given them any spirit crystals, which were needed to operate the Invincible Cannon Car. Otherwise, those two might have actually fired a few more shots at the Profound Heaven Sect.

"We'll play later, we'll play later. Bing Yue, our leader is coming out!"

"Bing Yue..." As soon as Woo Zhengyang finished speaking, Nie Fengyu had the biggest reaction. He glanced at Bing Yue, then quickly turned and fled into the Profound Heaven Sect in a panic.

Woo Zhengyang was dumbfounded! He had hoped Nie Fengyu would help him out of his awkward situation, but it seemed Nie Fengyu was even more afraid of Bing Yue than he was.

"Ha, what a coward. My brother Zhengyang is much better," Bing Yue said with disdain, watching Nie Fengyu run away, then she casually linked her arm with Woo Zhengyang's.

"Bing Yue, didn't you say you'd stop messing around with him after you took that last shot?" Loong Zhiwu asked, linking arms with Woo Zhengyang and expressing her dissatisfaction with Bing Yue.

"Of course, I always keep my word!" Bing Yue replied confidently.

"Then what are you doing now?"

"I'm not messing around. I'm seriously in love with my dear Zhengyang," Bing Yue said, her tone shifting to a playful, flirtatious one.

Woo Zhengyang was already used to this...

"Young Master, what exactly is going on? I'm confused," Uncle Fu, who had been watching for a while, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle Fu, let's head back first, and I'll explain everything."

...

That night, the Profound Heaven Sect was brightly lit.

Everyone had been on edge for months, and now, hearing that the looming threat of the Heavenly Martial Sect had been eliminated by Woo Zhengyang, they couldn't contain their excitement.

What thrilled them even more was that Woo Zhengyang had managed to recruit several Martial Kings to guard the sect. The Profound Heaven Sect was poised to replace the Heavenly Martial Sect and become the leader of the four nations, the Profound Heaven Gate!

As for how Woo Zhengyang ended up outside and gained such immense power, he didn't go into detail. He simply mentioned that he accidentally triggered a formation, was sent outside, and by chance acquired the Invincible Cannon Car.

It wasn't that Woo Zhengyang didn't trust them, but the events in the sealed land were too extraordinary and complex. He couldn't let anyone know that he had been there and returned.

No one asked too many questions about it; everyone has their secrets, especially those who practice cultivation, where there are many things that can't be said or asked.

While Woo Zhengyang was explaining everything, Nie Fengyu was eavesdropping nearby. Woo Zhengyang noticed but didn't call him out, and Bing Yue also noticed but chose to ignore it.

Woo Zhengyang had hoped that meeting Nie Fengyu would bring him some relief, but it turned out that Nie Fengyu was even more of a challenge, not even daring to face Bing Yue.

After arranging things for Bing Yue and Loong Zhiwu, Woo Zhengyang returned to Heavenly Death Peak.

He wanted to study the formation that had transported him to the sealed land, only to find it had turned to dust!

For the past six months, Uncle Fu and Nie Fengyu had taken turns keeping watch outside, unaware even when Woo Zhengyang wasn't there, ensuring no one else could have entered.

This meant the destruction of the formation wasn't caused by anyone. From what Woo Zhengyang knew, among various teleportation formations, some are exceptionally unique, capable of overcoming all obstacles and transporting people across vast distances to their destination.

However, these extraordinary formations can only be used once; after the teleportation is complete, the entire formation shatters.

The teleportation formation before him must have been one of those.

Woo Zhengyang couldn't quite understand who had left behind the teleportation array. When he discovered it, the array was damaged but not destroyed. Damage can be repaired, but destruction means there's nothing left, like what he saw now. This meant that although the teleportation array was carved out, it had never been used.

Who would go through the trouble of carving such an array and then not use it? Was there no time to use it? That seemed unlikely. The array had already been carved, and even in its damaged state, Woo Zhengyang had managed to set up the spirit crystal without much effort. For the person who carved it, it would have been even easier.

Could it be that the person who carved the array, like Lee Yuanye, could foresee the future and left it specifically for him? That idea seemed a bit far-fetched. First, Lee Yuanye's ability was almost legendary; not many people possessed it. Second, judging by the age of the array, it had been around for at least ten thousand years or more. Even if someone could foresee the future, predicting that far ahead seemed impossible.

The third and most important point was that the array was incomplete. If not for the golden vortex suddenly activating that day, Woo Zhengyang would never have been able to trigger it. If it was meant for him, why leave it incomplete? Could the person who carved the array have predicted he would possess the golden vortex too?

This is just unbelievable. If you have such skills, why go through all this trouble?
