As the punishment for being the 'Designated Red King'.
Xia Feng's soul indeed cannot return to the flesh in the Sumeru Realm.
Of course, the Time Stop Law Field surrounding his body will also continue to last for three minutes, making him invincible.
No one else can take advantage of this time to attack him.
He also cannot take any action.
But....
It was only said that his soul cannot return, but it didn't say that his residual soul cannot return!
Or, to be more accurate, his residual soul never entered the 'Nine Pillars Space', so naturally, it doesn't need to return.
After being frozen in time in the Sumeru Realm, the residual soul stayed in the Sumeru Realm, lingering inside the Undead Knight's duplicate, unable to move but able to observe the surroundings.
Now the time freeze in the Sumeru Realm has ended, and the world is functioning again.
He can also start moving again.
