Cloudy Water

The fist shadow came and went as quickly as before.

Su Xuanjun flew towards the center point, and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. Within a radius of ten thousand miles, the area was punched into nothingness by one fist.

The original land surface in that area had formed a bottomless black hole, connecting to the spatial rift.

"Which lord is the lord of Green Jade Immortal Continent?"

At this moment, an old man descended from the sky, and rumbling thunder sounded from his mouth at the same time.

"It's me."

Su Xuanjun looked up at the old man, full of apprehension, because as soon as this old man appeared, he was somehow forced to gasp for breath.

He was absolutely a super powerhouse of the Immortal Realm!

"I am the envoy of Heavenly Immortal Palace, here specifically to investigate the matter of the fist shadow. There are some things I need to ask you, and I hope you will truthfully report." The old man looked at Su Xuanjun and said.

"Greetings, Envoy. Please ask."

Su Xuanjun did not dare to be rude, and quickly responded.

"Did you see the fist shadow appear with your own eyes just now?" The old man asked.

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Su Xuanjun replied.

"Then with your abilities, can you notice any clues, or have you captured any traces or clues?" The old man asked.

Su Xuanjun's pupils shrank.

His expression was full of struggle and hesitation.

"Reporting to the Envoy, may I ask a question first?" Su Xuanjun asked.

The old man looked a little unhappy, but still said, "Go ahead."

"Compared to the master of the fist shadow, who is stronger, the Envoy or him?" Su Xuanjun asked.

"I'll tell you anyway."

The old man shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This fist shadow broke through the boundaries and came, its strength has reached the realm of Heavenly Golden Immortal. As for me, I'm just in charge of collecting clues. I'm not even qualified to participate in the fight. At least the group of old guys from the Immortal Palace have to come out of seclusion themselves!"

Upon hearing this.

Su Xuanjun's heart thudded.

The old man in front of him was already so powerful that he was somewhat short of breath. Yet he was not even qualified to participate in the fight?

Although he knew this punch was very powerful, he never imagined it would be so powerful!

Then he looked up with a wry smile and said, "Since the Envoy understands that this person is so powerful, how could I possibly grasp any clues about him with my abilities?"

"Alright alright, I figured you'd say that."

The old man waved his hand, then searched around the black hole. After fruitless investigation, he hurried back to Heavenly Immortal Palace.

After the old man left, Su Xuanjun breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he did not reveal everything he knew was because when immortals fight, mortals suffer. No matter what purpose this person had, the more he could avoid getting involved, the greater his chances of survival.

After all, he Su Xuanjun had probably already offended this person, but just now at Immortal River Continent he did not make a move against him, which meant it was not yet at the point of having to kill Su Xuanjun.

But if he revealed his clues now, who knows what would happen.

As for the Immortal Realm,

he did not believe the Immortal Realm could protect him.

After returning, Su Xuanjun entered into secluded cultivation, and no longer appeared.

At this moment.

Immortal River Continent was also extremely lively.

The closed ice mountain cracked open once again, and rolling magma churned again. In the desolate lands, forests, and black seas, countless auras rushed into the space above Immortal River Continent, gathering together...

"Tsk tsk, long time no see, everyone..."

An aura filled with icy cold condensed into a huge face, and an meaningful voice sounded out.

"Hey, we didn't come here to reminisce with you. I came to ask who the hell threw that fist just now." Another icy giant face asked coldly.

"I'm afraid none of us here could have thrown a punch like that." Yet another giant face congealed and responded leisurely.

"Could it be one of you humans?" The icy mountain giant face asked solemnly.

"Hehe, I thought you had no brains back then, but seems like you still have no brains now?" A peerlessly beautiful human woman stepped on air and spoke disdainfully.

"You..."

A cold shout sounded, and ice fog swept toward the human woman.

"Petty tricks."

The human woman raised her jade palm, and a thick undulation slammed out, colliding with the ice fog.

In a flash.

Space was torn open, turning into a void black hole.

"That's enough from you two."

The other auras spoke out impatiently.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, the human woman and the icy mountain giant face could only let out cold snorts and retreat.

"Calm down, everyone. This fist must have been thrown by someone else." A fiery giant face congealed into a hideous mug, then opened its mouth and said: "Moreover, I bet he woke up before all of us!"

"Oh?"

Everyone turned their gazes toward him.

"Actually, there's no need to pretend anymore. We all know clearly what this fist strike means." The fiery giant face looked at everyone and said solemnly.

Everyone exchanged silent glances.

Indeed.

Everyone understood something in their hearts.

"That's right."

"We all know that the time of the new era has not yet arrived. But someone brought the power of the Immortal Realm into Immortal River Continent ahead of time, thus advancing the era's timeline, and causing us to wake up prematurely as well."

"If I'm not mistaken, when we first awoke back then, it was also because of a punch like this!"

The fiery giant face spoke solemnly.

"Yes, after that punch just now, I can sense that more of the Immortal Realm's power has drained into our Immortal River Continent!"

A mass of earthy mist congealed into another face, also voicing agreement and saying, "So the purpose of this fist was obviously to awaken more people!"

"That's right, I can feel that many more powerful auras have awakened on this Immortal River Continent, aside from us. They are all hiding very covertly though." The icy giant face said solemnly, "I'm certain that after this time, even more people will awaken!"

Everyone nodded gravely.

The atmosphere solidified in an instant as well.

This matter was like a thorn in their hearts. They could vaguely sense that someone was manipulating things with invisible hands from behind the scenes...

It seemed as if they were all just pawns...

What made them even more solemn was that while they could clearly sense the existence of this fist strike, they still could not find its origin point.

Therefore, they also had no way to ascertain the identity of this person, nor guess at his purpose.

In short...

The waters of Immortal River Continent were growing murkier.
