Chapter 4086: Pulling Out Taegong Like A Sack Of Potatoes

The High Elder’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. "What?"

Zhenyu straightened. "Since you seem so certain about his whereabouts, I suppose I should show you something."

Before anyone could respond, the enormous body cultivator turned slightly and raised his right fist. Immense physical power gathered within his arm and the surrounding space began to tremble.

Daoist Bone Ruler immediately recognized the familiar movement and his expression changed. ’Here we go again.’

Zhenyu punched the empty air behind him.

BOOOOM!

A tremendous impact reverberated through the surroundings and the space directly before his fist fractured.

CRACK! CRACK!

Dark cracks spread outward like a spiderweb across a pane of glass, revealing the turbulent darkness of the void beyond.

The fractures rapidly expanded until a large opening appeared. A powerful spatial disturbance swept across the surrounding area, causing the nearby Vault Division guards to stagger.

Several defensive formations flickered in response while the Vault Division elders stared in disbelief.

"He shattered space!?"

"How is that possible!?"

"Wait! The spatial sealing formations!" One of the elders immediately looked toward the compound’s defensive barriers.

His expression became horrified. "The entire region surrounding the Vault Division is sealed against spatial interference!"

Another elder hurriedly examined the formation readings. "That’s right! The restrictions extend nearly a hundred kilometers around the main compound!"

The Vault Division had invested considerable resources into protecting its facilities against spatial infiltration. Teleportation techniques were heavily restricted throughout the surrounding region, while the formations were designed to detect and suppress attempts to manipulate space.

Even powerful cultivators would ordinarily have to use designated teleportation arrays or obtain authorization before attempting spatial travel within the protected area. Yet Mengli Zhenyu had simply punched a hole through space.

The defensive formations had reacted to the disturbance, but they had failed to prevent it.

"How did he do that!?"

"Did he break through the spatial restrictions with brute force?"

"That’s impossible! Those formations were reinforced by multiple generations of experts!"

The elders were thoroughly shaken.

Some began checking the formation readings, while others stared at the spatial opening with expressions of disbelief. They could clearly sense the surrounding restrictions attempting to stabilize the affected space.

However, the opening remained intact.

Zhenyu glanced back at them. "What are you all staring at?"

Nobody answered.

He chuckled. "Never seen a spatial passage before?"

The Vault Division elders looked as though they wanted to protest, but none could find the words.

Zhenyu shook his head. "Youngsters really need to broaden their horizons."

With that, he stepped into the opening and his enormous figure disappeared into the void. A moment later, the fractured space began to close. The surrounding Immortal Qi gradually settled, leaving the Vault Division elders staring at the place where he had vanished.

For several breaths, nobody spoke.

Then one of the elders finally managed to ask, "Where did he go?"

High Elder Shatter Peak laughed. "Who knows? Senior Zhenyu comes and goes as he pleases."

High Elder Palm Saber remained silent, though his eyes were filled with curiosity. He had already witnessed Zhenyu’s extraordinary spatial abilities earlier, but seeing him casually bypass the Vault Division’s restrictions was still astonishing.

Daoist Bone Ruler rubbed his forehead. ’At least he didn’t destroy the compound.’

That was the only consolation he could find.

Some distance away, the Grand Elder, Clarity Peak Head, and Sword Peak Head had also witnessed the display.

The Sword Peak Head stared at the fading spatial disturbance. "Those restrictions should have prevented that."

The Clarity Peak Head’s expression was thoughtful. "They attempted to suppress the opening, but his spatial manipulation was too forceful for the local formations to contain."

The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes. "An extraordinary ability."

He was becoming increasingly convinced that Mengli Zhenyu possessed far more secrets than anyone had anticipated. Meanwhile, the Vault Division High Elder was struggling to understand what had just happened.

’Why did he suddenly leave?’ He had expected Zhenyu to continue questioning him about Taegong.

Instead, the ancient body cultivator had abruptly departed through a spatial passage that should have been impossible to open. The High Elder glanced toward the other elders, but they were equally confused.

’Could he have discovered something?’ The thought made his expression darken.

He quickly contacted one of his subordinates through a communication talisman. ’Confirm Elder Taegong’s transfer status.’

The response did not arrive immediately and that made the High Elder’s unease deepen. Then, barely thirty seconds after Zhenyu had disappeared, another spatial disturbance erupted in the same location.

CRACK!

The air fractured once more and a dark opening appeared. A moment later Mengli Zhenyu stepped out. However, this time he was carrying something... Or rather, someone.

High Elder Palm Saber was the first to notice and his eyes widened. "Is that..."

Zhenyu emerged fully from the spatial passage, holding an unconscious man by the back of his neck. The man’s body hung limply from his enormous hand, his arms and legs dangling helplessly.

Considering Zhenyu’s tremendous size, the unconscious cultivator looked almost like a sack of grain being carried by a farmer. The man’s robes were slightly disheveled, and his hair had become messy.

His face was clearly visible though as the mask he had previously worn had already been removed by Lin Mu’s beasts.

Zhenyu casually adjusted his grip. "Well, that was easy."

High Elder Shatter Peak stared at the unconscious man and for a moment, he seemed unable to believe what he was seeing.

Then his eyes widened.

"TAEGONG!?" His roar immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The Wild Peak disciples turned toward Zhenyu and the Vault Division elders followed their gazes. And the moment they recognized the man hanging from his hand, their expressions changed dramatically.

"WHAT!?"

"ELDER TAEGONG!?"

"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?"

The entire gathering erupted into chaos.

Several Vault Division elders instinctively stepped forward and one of them nearly lost control of his flying technique. The High Elder standing at the front went completely still. His eyes were fixed upon the unconscious man.

’Impossible.’ He recognized Taegong immediately.

There was no mistaking the man’s appearance. Even though his face was pale and his body hung limply from Zhenyu’s hand, his identity was unmistakable.

’How did he get him!?’ The High Elder’s mind raced.
