Lin Feng's return sent waves of excitement through the crowd.
The girls were so overcome with joy that they wept and clung to Lin Feng, refusing to let go.
Once everyone's emotions had settled, Lin Feng finally understood the predicament they were in.
He simply comforted them and looked up at the starry sky.
Yang Jun was bewildered.
What was Brother Feng doing?
The others were equally confused.
From such a distance, what could he possibly see?
Lin Feng then utilized a portion of his divinity, his gaze extending beyond the planet Shui Lan.
After a moment, his eyes lit up.
"Found you!"
Amidst the crowd's confusion, he raised the treasure sword in his hand.
Zheng!
A sword cry seemed to echo in their ears.
But it lasted only a brief moment before disappearing.
It felt like an illusion.
Just as they were wondering what Brother Feng was up to,
Lin Feng had already sheathed his Zhu Xian Sword.
"Alright, it's dealt with."
"Brother Feng, what do you mean?"
Zhu Yan, representing everyone, voiced their unspoken question.
Lin Feng blinked.
"Naturally, I mean dealing with those who were chasing you."
He explained, looking at the stunned faces before him.
"You can rest easy now."
Yang Jun's expression was dazed.
Those space pirates who had pursued them, leaving them with no way out, had been annihilated with a single sword strike from Brother Feng across an unimaginable distance?
He couldn't fathom the extent of Brother Feng's current power.
After the initial surprise.
Another challenge presented itself: the Immortal realm sparring match with Hong Jun's faction in three days.
Did they have to ask Brother Feng to intervene?
Yang Jun posed his question, a hint of embarrassment in his tone.
To their surprise.
Lin Feng shook his head lightly.
"I don't have the time."
Although he had returned to Shui Lan Planet using the Star System Pass,
there were still many restrictions.
For instance, his stay was limited to only 24 hours.
He wouldn't be able to remain until then.
Yang Jun and the others were disappointed.
In that case, Puppet Xiao Feng might very well be defeated.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford to lose.
But if they lost, Puppet Xiao Feng, as part of the bet, would have to go with the other side.
And this puppet was actually crafted by Lin Feng.
The thought of causing Lin Feng such a loss made them feel utterly miserable.
Lin Feng seemed to sense their thoughts.
"Although I can't participate, it doesn't mean we'll concede."
"I'll upgrade Xiao Feng a bit, and it should be fine."
Right.
Yang Jun and the others' eyes lit up.
With Brother Feng's current ability to slay Immortal realm experts, and with some targeted upgrades for Puppet Xiao Feng,
no matter how strong the opponent, they were only at the Immortal realm.
Even without an overwhelming advantage, they should at least be able to secure a draw.
They expected this to take a long time.
But to their surprise.
Lin Feng merely produced a ball of floating light and touched it to Puppet Xiao Feng's head.
It felt as if Xiao Feng's strength had instantly increased exponentially.
Such a mysterious method left them in awe.
But it wasn't over yet.
Lin Feng then brought out the spoils from his recent battle with the space pirates.
These were a super-grade long sword and a set of super-grade protective clothing.
While Lin Feng felt the sword could only slightly boost Immortal realm combat power,
and the super-grade clothing offered negligible defensive benefits,
these were still supreme treasures that would have given Xiao Feng and the team a significant headache.
During their escape, it was precisely the augmentation from these few treasures that had allowed the space pirates to gain the upper hand.
And under their watchful gaze.
Lin Feng produced a large mass of Immortal divinity.
Intertwined, its exact quantity was indistinguishable.
He directly infused it into the long sword.
After a moment, an Immortal-grade weapon was forged.
Just gazing at it sent out a dazzling aura.
Yang Jun and the others were filled with excitement.
This was a peerless treasure, similar to the long saber wielded by the Immortal realm expert accompanying Hong Jun.
No!
Yang Jun quickly corrected his own assessment.
The aura of this long sword was even stronger than that of the long saber.
It was likely that the weapon Lin Feng had casually enhanced was even more formidable than the one meticulously prepared by the opponent.
Lin Feng's actions did not stop there.
He continued to extract masses of Immortal divinity and infused them into the entire set of clothing.
Before long.
The entire ensemble, consisting of a helmet, armor, gauntlets, belt, and boots, was completely revamped.
"All done."
Lin Feng handed the items over.
"With this set of Immortal-grade equipment and weapon, taking down the opponent should be no problem."
An entire set of Immortal grade!
Looking at the gleaming set of equipment before him, Yang Jun felt a sense of dizziness.
Brother Feng was truly as wealthy and extravagant as ever.
They had toiled for over half a year without acquiring even a single portion of Immortal divinity.
Yet Brother Feng could casually produce nearly a hundred portions.
He could even use them freely to enhance and modify treasures.
What kind of financial might was this!
And.
What kind of control!
They were filled with confidence for the battle in three days.
Their worries immediately vanished.
But before they could properly catch up with Lin Feng and report on the events of the past year.
Lin Feng's figure began to fade.
"Damn it!"
Lin Feng's expression darkened.
It seemed that his excessive use of divinity had caused nearby energy fluctuations.
Not only could the current Shui Lan Planet not withstand it, but even this entire star system was groaning under the strain.
This, in turn, affected the transmission effect of the Star System Pass.
The originally ample 24-hour stay was instantly compressed to less than three minutes.
With time pressing, he had no time for lengthy goodbyes.
Recalling the help Huang Shi had given him when he left, he called out to Yang Jun and gave him a few instructions.
Amidst the reluctant gazes of everyone, his figure gradually vanished and he departed.
...
And in a luxurious palace thousands of kilometers away.
Hong Jun was chatting casually with the Immortal realm expert he had brought along.
When he noticed the other's expression change.
"Qiang Gan, what's wrong?"
The man, known as Qiang Gan, quickly replied.
"Domain Lord, I just sensed fluctuations that felt like countless Immortal realm auras."
"What?"
Hong Jun couldn't help but stand up from his golden throne, his face filled with alarm.
Could it be.
That the seemingly assured victory, with him bringing the strongest Immortal realm expert meticulously cultivated by Master Tai Hao, was about to encounter an unforeseen variable?
For a moment.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind.
Qiang Gan frowned, puzzled.
"But strangely, they only appeared for a few moments before vanishing again."
Hong Jun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"What a fuss about nothing!"
"Do you think such a small planet of this magnitude could possibly have multiple Immortal realm experts simultaneously?"
Qiang Gan shook his head.
He also felt he had been overly sensitive.
This spar, though a form of entertainment for the two Masters,
given their status, they would certainly not participate.
Since he had accompanied Domain Lord Hong Jun to the appointment, the other side would surely not allow other Immortal realm experts to get involved.
And within this star region, no one would dare to risk offending two Masters simultaneously to cause trouble.
It must have been a misjudgment on his part.
With the crisis averted, both men returned to their calm demeanor.
A thought then crossed their minds.
This mission was truly simple.
They just needed to easily defeat the opponent in three days and then return successfully.
Hong Jun could gain a powerful subordinate, solidifying his status as Domain Lord.
Qiang Gan would also have a meritorious deed, receiving the defensive Immortal-grade treasure promised by Tai Hao.
Once they had.
With both an offensive and defensive Immortal-grade treasure in hand.
Who in this star region would be their match?
Upon thinking of this.
Both of them looked relaxed and smiled.
...
Compared to the confident and relaxed demeanor of both sides poised for victory on Shui Lan Planet.
Lin Feng, after being automatically teleported back,
unexpectedly encountered a calamity.
