The cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm, successfully rescued and freed by Xiao Fei, immediately retaliated against the fury of their confinement.
Coincidentally, the Soul race's integrated stage experts had been drawn into the heavenly tribulation by Xiao Lan, and had lost half their lives.
Facing the retaliation of the Tianyuan Realm cultivators, the Soul race powerhouses could not resist. Several more powerhouses perished, and they could only retreat while fighting. The tide of battle had completely turned.
Although the Tianyuan Realm cultivators had just broken free and their spiritual energy was depleted, they could not let such a good opportunity pass.
After today, it would be difficult to deal with the Soul race powerhouses once they fully recovered.
Ancestor Xiaoyue, after the fierce battle, had already exhausted the little spiritual energy remaining in his body.
At this moment, he took out a wine jar from the storage bag Xiao Fei had given him and opened the seal.
A rich aroma of wine immediately spread out, reaching ten miles, almost perceptible to everyone fleeing and pursuing on the battlefield.
Ancestor Xiaoyue stretched his sensitive nose.
"Hiss~ Hmm~"
"This jar of spirit wine must be at least 30,000 years old!"
This jar of spirit wine, after years of aging, had condensed to only half its original volume, becoming extremely viscous. The wine dripped onto his palm, gathering like pearls without scattering.
Ancestor Xiaoyue hugged the large jar and took a big gulp.
As the spirit wine entered his mouth, its mellow fragrance permeated his entire body. The vast spiritual energy contained within the spirit wine instantly transformed into surging spiritual power within him.
His previously depleted spiritual energy was replenished by at least a tenth.
He took several more large gulps of the spirit wine, and his spiritual energy recovered by more than half.
Once the remaining spiritual energy from this spirit wine was refined, his consumed spiritual energy should be restored to about seventy to eighty percent.
After drinking a few mouthfuls, Ancestor Xiaoyue quickly sealed the jar and intended to hide it.
The aroma of wine that had previously spread out had already attracted cultivators from more than ten miles around.
Those with lower cultivation naturally did not dare to ask him for it, but the powerhouses at the same integrated stage all gathered around.
"Xiaoyue, that's not right! Hiding such good stuff and not sharing it with your old brothers."
"Exactly! Everyone's spiritual energy is depleted right now, and such treasures can increase our chances of winning this battle."
"Fellow Daoist Xiaoyue, we won't let you suffer a loss either. We are willing to pay a high price to buy it from you."
A group of powerhouses surrounded Ancestor Xiaoyue, speaking one after another, all asking him for the spirit wine.
Ancestor Xiaoyue pondered that the senior who gave him the spirit wine had not given any instructions.
However, he guessed that the senior likely wanted him to distribute the spirit wine to their cultivators to enhance combat effectiveness.
If he were to hoard these treasures, he might displease the senior.
"Alright, since all fellow Daoists sincerely desire it, you can exchange it with treasures. If not, spirit stones are also acceptable."
Ancestor Xiaoyue took out the other jars of spirit wine from his storage bag and divided them into small bottles.
However, to ensure the team's combat effectiveness, Ancestor Xiaoyue limited each integrated stage expert to purchasing a maximum of three bottles, and Void Refinement stage cultivators could purchase one bottle.
The ten-thousand-year spirit wine was limited, and Nascent Soul stage cultivators did not qualify for such high-end items.
After receiving the ten-thousand-year spirit wine, the Tianyuan Sword cultivators' depleted spiritual energy quickly recovered, and their speed in pursuing the Soul race increased significantly.
With their strength greatly enhanced, the Tianyuan Realm powerhouses caught up to the Soul race and cut through them like vegetables.
Just as the Soul race had pursued the Tianyuan Realm cultivators at the beginning, the Soul race now had no resistance and could only flee in the direction they came from, finally all entering the Spirit Sealing Lock Heaven Array.
The Tianyuan Realm cultivators pursued them here and did not intend to stop. Instead, they opened a passage in the Spirit Sealing Lock Heaven Array and chased directly into the array.
Until all the Souls within the array were expelled.
They then mobilized array masters from the entire Tianyuan Realm to seal the passage between the two realms with arrays.
Thus, the Soul rebellion in the Tianyuan Realm was completely over.
The Tianyuan Realm then relocated some cultivators who had committed mistakes within the Spirit Sealing Lock Heaven Array.
They were to guard the Spirit Sealing Lock Heaven Array for generations, serving as the first layer of buffer for the future.
By now, the Tianyuan Realm had finally eliminated the threats from the Giant Realm and the Soul Realm, and could rest and recuperate for a period.
After the war, Xiao Fei and Huang Feifei returned to reside in Tianyuan City.
The seven major forces of Tianyuan City were severely weakened by this incident.
Especially in the last instance by Ancestor Ji, who had attacked all seven major forces, resulting in the loss of countless personnel and inherited treasures.
The Ji family suffered the greatest losses, with even their ancestor dying and most of their elite members being killed.
Xiao Fei and Huang Feifei, by rescuing the trapped elites of the Tianyuan Realm in this war, played a decisive role in the outcome of the entire conflict.
As a result, their reputations soared after the war, echoing throughout the entire Tianyuan Realm.
Although they were both only at the Void Refinement cultivation stage, it did not affect their lofty status in this realm.
Even the more than 30 integrated stage powerhouses in this realm had to address them as equals.
The small shops they opened in the Tianyuan Realm had now moved to larger establishments.
They wanted to keep a low profile, but the seven major forces of Tianyuan City disagreed and insisted on gifting them a grand establishment.
Xiao Fei was also a good-natured person and could only reluctantly accept, moving into the tallest building in the center of Tianyuan City.
However, with only the two of them, living in such a multi-story building was a bit too much.
One day, Zhu Yu came to see Xiao Fei with his little fox.
Upon seeing the little fox in Zhu Yu's arms, Xiao Fei immediately recognized it as the one that used to follow him and whom he had tricked into the Spirit Sealing Lock Heaven Array.
In fact, Xiao Fei had always been curious why this little fox had followed him. Seeing this little fox again, he felt a little uneasy and wanted to understand more.
"Can I borrow your little fox to play with for a while?"
Zhu Yu heard this and showed a surprised expression.
"Brother Xiao, isn't that a bit inappropriate? Although the little fox is also female, there's a difference between humans and beasts!"
"If you have such dirty thoughts yourself, you always suspect others of being as dirty as you. I am proper."
Xiao Fei gave Zhu Yu a disdainful look, but then smiled and said.
"Of course, if you really have such thoughts, I, as your elder brother, still support you.
As long as you are sincere, distance, age, gender, species... none of these should be obstacles to your pursuit of true love."
Xiao Fei even patted Zhu Yu on the shoulder as encouragement.
Huang Feifei, standing beside him, also gave Zhu Yu encouraging glances, urging him to boldly pursue true love.
"Don't talk nonsense. The little fox has awakened its intelligence, and you must respect its feelings!"
Zhu Yu earnestly stopped Xiao Fei's teasing.
The little fox in his arms, however, looked at Xiao Fei with its large eyes, unconcerned.
"I have something I want to discuss with you, little fox. You don't mind, do you?"
"As long as the little fox doesn't mind, I have no objections."
Xiao Fei picked up the little fox by the scruff of its neck and walked towards a secret chamber.
The moment Xiao Fei picked up the little fox, it felt a strong sense of connection.
The little fox was too young and ignorant back then, only knowing how to follow foolishly.
Now that she had advanced to the Void Refinement stage, her mind had gained much more memory, and she understood many things.
Therefore, although she was pleasantly surprised, she did not show it and remained obediently in Xiao Fei's grasp.
