The Monarch Profound Realm was regarded as the highest realm that could be reached for a mortal. However, being at the top of the profound strength, Monarchs were also divided into different levels even though they were in the same realm.
Lei Zhenxiang could easily suppress Seventh Uncle, one of the renowned Seven Myriad Pill Guardians, with a mere glance had proven this point. Even though both of them were at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm, their power levels were worlds apart.
Watching the strong Seventh Uncle being defeated so easily by Lei Zhenxiang, Du Huanfeng's expression became unsightly. He had long heard about how monstrous Lei Zhenxiang was, but he didn't expect to be this powerful to the point Seventh Uncle could not resist in the slightest.
Sixth Uncle, the strongest person on Du Huanfeng's side, was obviously aware of Lei Zhenxiang's power in the earlier attack. It would be a joke if he insisted on this further.
He looked at the golden figure solemnly as he said. "Please calm down, Palace Master Lei. I am apologizing to you on his behalf. Little Seventh is too young and rash. He always possesses a strong fighting spirit. Especially when he meets the strong like you. Please forgive him once."
"Too young?" Lei Zhenxiang laughed coldly. "If I'm not mistaken, he's already over a thousand years old. You actually said he's too young? Don't you feel it's ridiculous to say this?"

Sixth Uncle's face was cramped. He had no way to refute it, but he had to say something to get out of this predicament. "We will leave this place as Palace Master Lei said, and we will never do anything against Island Master Zhou."
"Yes, Palace Master Lei. We will leave now." No matter how unwilling Du Huanfeng was, he had no choice but to leave this island. Otherwise, he would definitely face Lei Zhenxiang's wrath.
Lei Zhenxiang stared at them while releasing an oppressing aura. "Good. I hope all of you do as you said."
Following that, his lightning figure began to blur and faded away completely.
Sixth Uncle didn't dare to stay here any longer. He quickly brought Seventh Uncle, Du Huanfeng, and Du San to the Myriad Pill Profound Skyship, which was floating in a group of clouds above the island.
After settling in the skyship, Du Huanfeng let out a long breath and said in a fury. "Hmph! I'll let you be arrogant for a while."
"What are you planning, Nephew? I've to give you a warning first. Lei Zhenxiang might look weak and emotional on the outside. He is decisive and ruthless when it comes to his enemy. We've underestimated him this time. You have to make sure before doing something." Sixth Uncle said while using his profound energy to stabilize Seventh Uncle's injury.
Du Huanfeng wasn't annoyed by Sixth Uncle's warning. He nodded his head and said with a cold smile. "Don't worry, Sixth Uncle. This time, I'm afraid he might be able to save himself."
He paused for a moment and said. "I'll have to trouble Sixth Uncle to contact Heavenly Sword Palace Master and Star Gazing Palace Master. Tell them that I have the news related to the Poison Valley in my hand."
Sixth Uncle's eyes flashed with splendor. He seemed to understand what Du Huanfeng wanted to do next. "Leave it to me."
Du Huanfeng sat down on a comfortable chair and looked at the clouds outside while muttering to himself. "Let's see how you are going to do with this… And that Mu Chen…We will meet again soon."

Shortly after Du Huanfeng's group left, Lei Zhenxiang returned to the secret chamber and said to Zhou Qingyu. "I've chased them away. They won't dare to do anything to you for a long time. Let's use this chance to stabilize this place."
Zhou Qingyu was overjoyed. She hurriedly bowed. "Thank you, Brother Lei. I'll remember this kindness."
Lei Zhenxiang waved his hand dismissively. "Don't I tell you before? No need to speak these grateful words with me." He turned to Lei Feifei and smiled. "How is it? Your brother is good, right?"
Lei Feifei rolled her eyes and snorted. "Hmph! This is what you should do in the first place."
Lei Zhenxiang smirked happily upon hearing this. He felt it was the best decision for him to come here. This trip was truly worthwhile. Not only did the relationship between him and Lei Feifei improve, but he also learned about Mu Qiuxue's news.
"When do you want to leave?" Lei Zhenxiang turned to ask Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and replied. "Can I leave tomorrow? I want to help Senior Zhou set up a formation first before leaving."
Zhou Qingyu's eyes flashed with splendor. She had witnessed how powerful Yun Lintian's formation profound art was. She was certain the overall defense of the island would improve drastically with his help.
"No problem. If you need my help, just say it directly." Lei Zhenxiang said generously.
Yun Lintian nodded and began to discuss the formation layout with Zhou Qingyu. He planned to deploy two killing formations and three protective formations around the island.
After getting the final layout, Yun Lintian immediately took action with the help of Lei Zhenxiang. The latter was interested in formation art and had a profound understanding of it. Although he hadn't yet wholly entered the realm of Monarch Formation Master, his ability wasn't much inferior to one.
"This method… It should be the ancient inscribing method. Am I correct?" Lei Zhenxiang carefully studied a formation stone that was engraved with complicated runes before him.
As a palace master, he naturally could access the ancient records. The runes and the inscribing method Yun Lintian was using were similar to the record he had read before. This made his curiosity grow further, and he wondered what kind of fortuitous opportunity Mu Qiuxue encountered.
"Yes." Yun Lintian didn't hide anything. It was useless even if Lei Zhenxiang knew it. After all, the formation art he used came from something that didn't exist in this world. It was impossible for Lei Zhenxiang to study it.
