"—Whoosh!"

Within the blood mist, a phantom primordial spirit suddenly flashed out and then fled into the distance at an extremely fast speed without hesitation.

"Want to run?"

Zhu Chen sneered, raised his hand and waved it, and a pitch-black banner exuding an eerie aura appeared out of thin air.

It is the Soul-Honoring Banner!
He raised the banner and unfurled it forcefully, instantly enveloping Chu Yunfei's primordial spirit with a powerful suction force.

"This is... the Soul Refining Banner? You... you're actually from the Soul Refining Sect?"

Chu Yunfei let out a terrified scream, his voice filled with resentment and despair.

He desperately tried to break free by circulating his primordial spirit power, only to find that his primordial spirit was now like being stuck in a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper the more he struggled.

"Soul Refining Sect? I suppose so..."

Zhu Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile.

He didn't explain, but simply shook the Soul Banner lightly, directly increasing the suction force.

"what……"

Chu Yunfei's primordial spirit let out another shrill scream, and was then pulled into the banner by the suction force, whereupon it fell silent.

The Soul Banner in Zhu Chen's hand trembled slightly, then immediately returned to calm.

The cultivators of the Snow Kingdom looked up at this scene, standing there frozen as if petrified.

"They...they're all dead?"

"No way? Hundreds of high-level cultivators from the Tianyu Sect, along with Sect Master Chu Yunfei, were just... wiped out like that?"

"Who exactly is this person? And why does he possess such terrifying strength?"

"He just said he's the sect leader's man, could it really be..."

"That's not right. On this Vermilion Bird Star, I've never seen a cultivator with such profound cultivation before..."

"Could he be a cultivator from outside of Vermilion Bird Star?"

The crowd looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

They never expected that this young man who called himself the 'Sect Master' would be so terrifyingly strong.

You must know that Chu Yunfei is now a great cultivator at the Yin Deficiency and Yang Realm, the strongest person on the Vermilion Bird Star!
Unexpectedly, he couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent and was beaten to a pulp, his very soul was taken away!

They would never have believed it was real if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

"Has his cultivation level improved again?"

Red Butterfly stood there, equally stunned, staring at the white-clad figure floating in mid-air, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.

She knew Zhu Chen was very strong.

She had witnessed the other party's strength firsthand when she was at the Vermilion Bird Tomb last time.

Although Zhu Chen was strong at that time, he was still within her comprehension.

And now...

The opponent was able to instantly kill even the Yin-Yang Realm cultivators who had just reached the pinnacle!

This was far beyond her comprehension.

"What level have you reached?"

Hongdie looked at Zhu Chen and asked softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Zhu Chen smiled calmly: "What realm you're at isn't important. What's important is that from now on, no one can bully you anymore..."

Red Butterfly's eyes welled up with tears.

She bit her lip, suppressing the flutter in her heart, and asked in a low voice, "If I go to your world, can I become stronger?"

“Of course…” Zhu Chen nodded and said seriously, “The world I come from has a more complete cultivation system and resources. If you come back with me, with your talent, your future achievements will definitely not be low. You might even reach my current level one day, or even surpass it…”

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Red Butterfly's eyes.

She was a strong-willed woman by nature.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to go into seclusion just for the title of Vermilion Bird.

Hearing Zhu Chen say this, her hesitation vanished instantly.

"Alright, I'll go with you, but before I leave, could you give me three hours? I want to explain some things to the cultivators of the Snow Region Kingdom."

Red Butterfly looked at Zhu Chen and said.

Zhu Chen shrugged: "Of course."

He even gave Zi Ling three days in the mortal cultivation world.

For Red Butterfly, three hours is nothing at all.

"Thank you..."

When Hongdie saw that Zhu Chen had agreed, a grateful smile immediately appeared on her face.

She turned around and went to discuss matters with the elders of the Snow Kingdom.

But Zhu Chen suddenly grabbed her.

"and many more……"

Red Butterfly turned around in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Chen's gaze fell on the Soul Banner in his hand, and his brows furrowed slightly: "There's something... not quite right."

Red Butterfly was taken aback: "What is it?"

Zhu Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "You just said that Chu Yunfei left Vermilion Bird Star and returned with his cultivation having broken through to the Yin False Yang Realm?"

Red Butterfly nodded: "That's right, this matter has been widely discussed on Vermilion Bird Star, and many people know about it."

A glint of light flashed in Zhu Chen's eyes: "A cultivator at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, after leaving for a short period of time, returns and has already leaped two major realms, reaching the Yin Deficiency and Yang Realm... Do you think that's normal?"

Red Butterfly was taken aback, then said thoughtfully, "You mean... he obtained some kind of heaven-defying opportunity?"

"Opportunity?"

Zhu Chen shook his head and sneered, "Even with the greatest opportunity, breaking through two major realms in such a short time requires extremely demanding conditions. Moreover, he not only broke through himself, but also brought out so many Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators. Don't you think these people's appearance is too abrupt?"

Upon hearing this, Red Butterfly was suddenly startled.

Yes!

Although Tianyu Sect was considered a major sect on Zhuque Star, it never had so many Nascent Soul cultivators.

Where did these people come from?
Zhu Chen continued, "Moreover, when I was collecting his primordial spirit just now, I discovered that the aura of his primordial spirit was completely different from the aura of Chu Yunfei that had previously manifested on his body. What does this mean?"

A flash of realization crossed Red Butterfly's eyes: "Does this mean his primordial spirit has no connection to his physical body?"

"Yes."

Zhu Chen said with a deep gaze, "I suspect that his physical body and primordial spirit were never completely integrated."

Red Butterfly gasped: "You mean... he's been possessed?"

Zhu Chen nodded: "That's the most reasonable explanation. A body possessed by a stronger being is secretly developing, gathering subordinates, and expanding its power by utilizing the original sect's influence... If that's the case, then the entity behind him is probably more troublesome than we imagine."

Red Butterfly's expression changed slightly: "Behind you? What do you mean by that?"

"I think he was entrusted by someone to come to Vermilion Bird Star under the identity of Chu Yunfei. As for his purpose, I think it's very simple: to set things right..."

Zhu Chen put away the Soul Banner and said solemnly, "But you don't need to worry. No matter who is behind him, since he dared to touch my woman, he is courting death. After I've settled things here, I will investigate and find out the truth."
