Not long after Xiao Fei and Zhu Yu departed, another clone of Xiao Fei emerged from the secret chamber in the Southern Wilderness Continent.
"Huh!"
"You?"
Everyone watched the reappearing Xiao Fei, their surprise evident.
"Which one is the real you?" Huang Feifei asked, her brow furrowed.
This point might not matter to others, but it was crucial to her. She desperately wanted to know.
"Every one of us is the real me."
Xiao Fei could sense Huang Feifei's anxiety but could only offer this answer.
It was akin to marrying someone and discovering their identical twin sister looked exactly the same, to the point where one couldn't distinguish between them. One might feel anxious, perhaps?
"These are just minor details, everyone needn't worry. I've gathered you all here today for another matter."
Upon hearing Xiao Fei's words, everyone turned their attention to him. They were still in the dark, unsure of his intentions.
"It's like this, I've been entangled in a significant event, and it's difficult to remain uninvolved. Moreover, this matter is likely to implicate you all, so I wish to find a way out for everyone."
"Who did you piss off? I'll go kill him right now!" Xiao Lan was the first to voice her defiance.
"Count me in!"
The battle-hardened Ji Wudi, upon hearing of trouble, immediately pounded his chest and declared.
"Yes! We stand together!"
"Let's all go!"
"..."
Those summoned by Xiao Fei were all people he was particularly close to. Hearing that he was in trouble, none of them wanted to stand idly by.
Huang Feifei remained silent, her actions speaking louder than words. Her young master's affairs were her affairs.
"Thank you all for your kind intentions, but the enemy is too powerful to confront head-on. I have my own plans. When help is needed, I will seek you out. I apologize for troubling you all with this."
Xiao Fei politely declined their offers. If it came to a direct confrontation, he could easily have Han Yi bring out a mere team, and they would already be a considerable force of Integration Stage combatants.
"Then, you mentioned preparing a way out for us. What is it? Tell us."
Xiao Lan asked with a hint of curiosity.
"I have prepared a top-secret secluded cultivation place for everyone. It is isolated from the world, and the spiritual energy there is extremely dense, far surpassing that of the Tian Yuan Realm. If you are willing, you can go to this place for secluded cultivation."
"Besides that, you can also temporarily cultivate near the Southern Wilderness Continent's Spirit Sealing Heaven Locking Array. If you encounter danger, immediately enter the Spirit Sealing Heaven Locking Array and then proceed to the Giant World."
"I have a map of the Spirit Sealing Heaven Locking Array. As long as you follow this route, you will be able to pass through the array smoothly."
Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat surprised that Xiao Fei possessed a map of the Spirit Sealing Heaven Locking Array.
"But even if we enter the Giant World, it won't be much better there."
"Don't worry, I have considerable influence in the Giant World. The giants will absolutely not make things difficult for you."
Hearing that Xiao Fei had significant influence in the Giant World, everyone felt a sense of unease. Every giant possessed the strength of the Integration Stage. For everyone to show him respect in the Giant World, it would require absolute power as a backing. How could such a thing be so easily achieved? It felt rather unreliable.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed to enter the secret place for secluded cultivation.
Xiao Fei extended a hand, conjuring a series of swirling runes in the air. Then, a portal of light appeared before everyone. As the portal opened, a surge of dense spiritual energy immediately rushed out, greeting them. Many, for the first time, smelled such potent spiritual energy and nearly fainted.
"Please, proceed. Each room inside is independent. I've also placed some cultivation resources within, which you are free to use."
Huangfu Xuan stepped through the portal. The dense spiritual energy inside directly surged into her body, giving her a feeling of being overstuffed, causing dizziness and making her legs weak. At that moment, she felt her cultivation realm suddenly surge by a significant margin.
"I've actually broken through to the Void Refining Stage!"
The moment she stepped through the portal, Huangfu Xuan's cultivation leaped directly from the late stage of Spirit Transformation to the Void Refining Stage. Under the impact of the dense spiritual energy, she wasn't the only one to break through their realm instantaneously; several others also advanced their minor realms.
Ji Wudi, upon entering the portal, was overjoyed and greedily inhaled the air within, wishing he could only inhale and never exhale. Indeed, following Brother Xiao brought endless benefits, far superior to associating with Zhu Yu.
After everyone had entered the portal, Xiao Fei waved his hand again, and the portal vanished. Xiao Fei then disappeared from his original spot.
...
Meanwhile, after helping Xiao Fei spread the message, Zhu Yu immediately set off towards the West Sea. Xiao Fei had left him an address, but the journey was still long, and he was somewhat anxious. He had no choice but to release the little fox.
"Take me to this place. The faster, the better."
The little fox possessed a strand of hair-like treasure within her. These treasures could help one escape danger, easily breaking through obstacles, and they also flew at remarkable speeds. Hearing Zhu Yu's command, the little fox unhesitatingly activated the strand of hair within her. This strand of hair was a treasure intrinsically linked to her life, which she had possessed since birth. The hair carried the little fox and Zhu Yu swiftly forward.
While flying, a powerful aura rapidly approached them from behind. This terrified the little fox and Zhu Yu, who quickly descended and landed on the sea's surface. Just then, a fairy-like woman in white fluttered towards them.
"Huh!"
As Mu Dieyi flew overhead, she seemed to recognize the person and the fox. She pondered for a moment, unsure if it was a mere coincidence or truly those two. After all, she wasn't very familiar with them. Although Mu Dieyi was an Earth Immortal in the Heavenly Realm, she occupied the lowest rung. The status of those two was too high for her to have any contact with them. Whether it was a coincidence or something else, they were individuals she dared not offend. She dared not fly over their heads and quickly descended, landing before Zhu Yu and the little fox.
"Where are you two headed? If it's on the way, I can give you a ride."
Zhu Yu did not recognize the veiled, peerlessly beautiful woman before him. However, based on his years of life experience, whenever a woman proactively addressed him, it was undoubtedly out of goodwill and could be trusted. Any random woman encountered on the road was more trustworthy than that scoundrel Xiao Fei. Zhu Yu even felt that all men in the world might scheme against him or betray him, but only women held true sincerity for him. Therefore, he readily accepted Mu Dieyi's kind offer. Coincidentally, their destinations were the same. Then, he and the little fox were carried by Mu Dieyi, flying all the way towards the depths of the West Sea.
