Chapter 2397 The Lesson from Pavilion Master Chu, Etched in Memory!

Once again, the sky revealed a majestic figure, a King Kun with a deep purple-grape hue, perfectly matching the massive black pot below.

In this day and age, it seemed that wherever there was a Kun, there was usually a pot not far behind.

"Don't mind her; let's first find Soft Feather and get her out of here," reminded Pavilion Master Chu, who perched atop Song Shuhang's head.

Whether it was King Kun or Immortal Fairy White Bones, both possessed combat prowess akin to that of Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders or even Immortals. There was no need to engage in a perilous showdown over a black pot.

At that moment, the most rational course of action was to rescue Soft Feather and make a swift exit.

Song Shuhang nodded in agreement, and his divine sense swept through the sea area in search for Soft Feather's presence. However, at this moment, Soft Feather was concealed beneath the 'Almighty Merchant's Blanket,' transformed into a small fish. Despite the protagonist's divine sense scanning the surroundings, he couldn't pinpoint her location.

"Soft Feather, where are you hiding? I should be close to you." Song Shuhang quickly activated the 'cultivation chat' function and sent a message to Soft Feather.

Upon receiving the message, Soft Feather, in the form of a small fish, peeked out from behind a coral reef. She spotted Song Shuhang in the distance.

"It's Senior Song!" she exclaimed.

She had been saved.

In this moment, Song Shuhang's stature in Soft Feather's eyes grew, and he became as towering as Venerable Spirit Butterfly's Abba.

"Senior Song, I see you." The small fish that Soft Feather had transformed into swiftly swam over and nestled into his arms.

Song Shuhang carefully cradled this beautiful little fish and asked through telepathy, "Is it you, Soft Feather?"

"Yes, it's me." Soft Feather joyfully wagged her tail.

At that moment, her body, which had been tense throughout the night, finally relaxed. Even the cold seawater seemed to have turned warm.

Although Song Shuhang was only a Seventh Stage Venerable, he was the one in the Nine Provinces Number One Group who had clashed with major players the most, and he was still alive and kicking. Hence, when facing formidable opponents, he was considered a safe and reliable choice.

Furthermore, after the recent crisis, Soft Feather experienced a surge of new emotions—exhilaration!

She had teetered on the brink of life and death for a while, which had left her both nervous and excited.

Indeed, venturing out from Spirit Butterfly Island to find Senior Song had been the right decision!

They had only reached halfway, and they had already encountered such an exhilarating experience.

If the appetizer was this captivating, there was undoubtedly more excitement awaiting her after she officially reunited with Senior Song.

Her whole being was on the verge of igniting.

...

...

After confirming that the little fish in his hand was indeed Soft Feather, Song Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go!" he held the small fish, which was Soft Feather in disguise, and turned to return to his Inner World.

This time, his Inner World opened with no trouble. In the sky, neither King Kun nor Immortal Fairy White Bones had set up any 'spatial lockdown' techniques.

"Hurry up," Pavilion Master Chu urged from above.

Song Shuhang didn't waste any time and stepped into his Inner World.

Just as half of his body entered the Inner World, a formidable will descended from the sky and swept across his location. It was the purple-grape King Kun. Upon hearing Immortal Fairy White Bones' alluring shout, it grew wary and immediately sent a strand of divine sense to scan the area.

For King Kun, it didn't matter if the aura that suddenly appeared below was the one surnamed Song that Immortal Fairy White Bones had mentioned. It wouldn't hurt to keep a vigilant eye on it.

"Eh?" With half of his body already inside the Inner World, Song Shuhang softly exclaimed. He had sensed King Kun's divine sense scanning him.

And then...

As he made his escape, he sent out a Golden Core QR code to meet the divine sense of the magnificent Grape King Kun!

Song SHuhang cherished the teachings of his seniors. Pavilion Master Chu had previously advised him not to monopolize all the opportunities.

He found his advice sensible, so he contemplated adding a few more major players to his blacklist. In the future, when the need arose to exploit opportunities, he could occasionally switch to another one. He didn't want to stubbornly latch onto the Demon Emperor for his own gain.

Now, this King Kun was a perfect candidate.

At the very least, he was an Immortal big shot, and he had crossed paths with Immortal Fairy White Bones, who was connected to Slow-Witted Song. Moreover, King Kun had proactively scanned his divine sense.

Why reject a friend who had come knocking on his door?

"Let's be friends, King Kun," Song Shuhang said.

He was well-versed in this sort of thing.

After capturing the Golden Core QR code, he brought Soft Feather with him and entered his Inner World.

His life-saving trump card, the Inner World, had finally come into play today. It had truly saved his life.

This was a heartwarming moment.

...

...

On the other side, King Kun's divine sense had just swept over the Golden Core QR code.

Then, an unexpected prompt appeared in his mind.

"Congratulations, you've already added 'Profound Sage Tyrannical Song' as a friend. From now on, there will be no distance between you. No matter how far apart you are, your two hearts will always be able to communicate without any distance."

This notification had come without warning.

"A mental attack?" King Kun, who was engaged in a battle with Immortal Fairy White Bones, was momentarily stunned.

What was this? It could actually directly affect his mind?

In battles between experts, a moment of distraction was a fatal flaw.

Naturally, Immortal Fairy White Bones wouldn't miss such an excellent opportunity.

"Eat this!" she exclaimed while calling out all sorts of martial moves.

Behind her, an energy-based skeleton giant materialized and attached itself to her body.

Simultaneously, the pair of hammers in Immortal Fairy White Bones' hands vanished into thin air and reappeared in the hands of the white bone giant. It transformed into a pair of giant hammers. Evidently, these hammers were exclusive magical tools for the white bone giant.

Once the skeletal giant appeared, it swung its twin hammers and brought them down heavily on King Kun's head.

Furthermore, the twin hammers were enveloped in laws. The left hammer represented withering, and the right hammer represented decay. They looked like the epitome of villainy.

The pair of hammers struck King Kun's body, penetrating through his layers of defense. King Kun's once-proud protective abilities had completely withered and decayed under the influence of the twin hammers' law of decay.

Then, the left hammer, imbued with the Withering Death Law, struck King Kun's body from a peculiar angle.

Under the hammer's impact, King Kun's plump body shriveled up. His skin dried up, and the purple luster faded.

The intense pain contorted King Kun's face.

All of this was caused by that accursed 'prompt' in his mind.

Profound Sage Tyrannical Song? There was no distance between their hearts?

Darn it!

One day, I'll ensure that the ruler in my hand is no longer distant from your heart—I'll use it to stab a hole in your chest!

Just as King Kun was losing his mind, another notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding ~ Profound Sage Tyrannical Song has already moved you into 'Blacklist 2'. Do you want to move him into the 'Blacklist' as well?"

King Kun was speechless.

After living for so many years, King Kun suddenly felt like cursing again.

First, he added himself as a friend, and then he moved himself to the blacklist. What kind of foolish operation was this?

...

...

In the Inner World, Song Shuhang looked at the solitary King Kun, lying quietly in 'Blacklist 2,' and smiled.
