Xiao Fei, upon departing the East Continent, made a detour to Meteor Island, bringing out all cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage or higher.
This place was no longer suitable for high-level cultivators to train. Taking everyone with him was merely a matter of convenience.
He then settled those he brought out directly in Tian Yuan City, allowing them to cultivate on their own from then on.
Just then, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, surpassing any he had experienced before.
This immense sense of danger did not cause him to panic. Instead, it quickly calmed his mind, allowing him to rapidly devise countermeasures.
In the Giant World, he possessed numerous giant armies, and it remained his base of operations.
However, he had fought there twice consecutively, exposing his location. This time, the chance of a powerful enemy directly finding the Giant World was very high.
He had already heard from Xiao Hei that Earth Immortals were merely the lowest-ranking figures among the many immortals in the Immortal Realm.
True powerhouses and great beings in the Immortal Realm could easily destroy a world.
Therefore, relying entirely on the Giant World for his safety carried significant risks. He absolutely could not put all his eggs in one basket.
But he had also shown his face in this Tian Yuan Realm, even provoking two Earth Immortal powerhouses into a life-or-death struggle.
Someone would surely track him here. Facing a powerful enemy, his best course of action was a strategic withdrawal.
With this thought, he released a clone and flew towards the north of the Tian Yuan Realm.
In the Tian Yuan Realm, there were four Great Spirit Sealing Arrays, each sealing a passage to another world.
These were passages to the Demon Realm, the Undead Realm, the Giant Realm, and a Demon Beast Realm.
He had already had some contact with the first three worlds. The Giant Realm had even fallen into his hands, and he ruled it.
Only the Demon Beast Realm's Great Spirit Sealing Array had remained relatively inactive.
Xiao Fei decided this time to send a clone into the Demon Beast Realm, and perhaps even use it as a stepping stone to enter other worlds.
Only by moving far away from this troublesome place could he thoroughly escape the entanglement of Immortal Realm powerhouses.
Since his advancement to the Integration stage, he could control four clones simultaneously.
Sending one or two away would not affect his activities in this realm at all.
One clone remained in the Giant Realm, continuing to play the role of a deity and strengthening the training of the giant army.
Another roamed the Tian Yuan Realm.
A third remained in his spatial dimension, cultivating and consolidating his physical strength in preparation for breaking through to the Mahayana stage.
At this moment, Xiao Fei, located in the Giant Realm, was issuing orders, mobilizing all the men, women, and children of the Giant Realm.
He even announced to the entire world that he would provide all their food if they participated in the training.
The food reserves in his spatial dimension were abundant enough to sustain the entire world's giants for a year without issue.
He aimed to achieve true universal conscription within this year.
Any invading enemy would be swallowed by a vast ocean of people's war.
"Teacher Hei, I might be in big trouble again. Can I ask for your help this time?"
Xiao Fei, remembering that he had an Earth Immortal-level powerhouse by his side, shamelessly approached to ask for a favor.
"Absolutely not! I have a master in the upper realm, and this threat might very well be sent by my master. I will never betray my master."
Xiao Hei's attitude was resolute. If he could remain neutral, it was already a sign of great loyalty to Xiao Fei.
"Since it's inconvenient for you to act, how about this..."
Xiao Fei's eyes darted, and another plan formed in his mind.
"What do you want?" Xiao Hei took a step back, a hint of wariness in his demeanor.
"Look! Since it's awkward for you to intervene, but you also can't just stand by and watch foolishly, wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?"
Xiao Hei thought about it and felt it made sense. If both sides were locked in a bloody battle, with brains splattering, it would be inappropriate for him to stand by and spectate.
"Why don't you be my hostage? Then I'll use your life to threaten them. Anyone who dares to come closer, I'll break one of your dog legs."
"If they dare to attack me, I'll kill you directly!"
"What do you think of this plan?"
Xiao Fei, having finally devised a brilliant scheme, was met with Xiao Hei shaking his head repeatedly.
"No! No! This plan will absolutely not work!"
"Why not? Are you afraid of death?"
Xiao Fei attempted to provoke the dog.
"If I weren't afraid of death, would I have lived this long?
Moreover, your plan is useless. I am merely an insignificant watchdog at my master's place, with no status or standing whatsoever."
"Tell me, who would give up immense upcoming benefits for a mere dog?"
Xiao Hei's emotions became a little low as he spoke.
He was just a dog kept by his master, disposable.
He had heard that before him, his master had also kept a well-behaved and adorable dog, which was deeply favored by the master.
Later, one day, distinguished guests arrived at his master's home. One of the guests expressed a desire to eat dog meat.
At that moment, his master unhesitatingly killed his previous dog and used it to entertain the guests.
Perhaps, in the future, he might face the same fate.
"Since it's inconvenient for you to act and you can't be a hostage, I have one more request."
"If any powerful enemies I cannot handle truly attack, I hope you can help me safely escort Huang Feifei and my second sister away."
This was something Xiao Fei was deeply concerned about. He had many lives, and dying once or twice for no reason was acceptable.
However, Huang Feifei and the others only had one life; if they died once, they would be gone forever.
Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, then silently nodded in agreement.
While Xiao Fei and Xiao Hei were in close discussion, one of his clones was already outside a Great Spirit Sealing Array in the Tian Yuan Realm.
Behind this array was a direct passage to the Demon Beast Realm, the target of Xiao Fei's journey.
The Great Spirit Sealing Array could no longer stop him. He walked directly into the dark array.
At the same time, on the other side, a dazzling white light flashed across the sky above the Giant Realm.
Many giants witnessed this miraculous sight, believing it to be their Lord Xiao manifesting and showing them a divine miracle.
Just as they were about to prostrate themselves in worship, they realized the arrival was not as expected.
As the white light dissipated, a group of figures appeared within.
Among this group, the nine-colored deer was particularly conspicuous.
Was that not the demon they had just killed once?
"Oh no! The demon is back!"
"Kill!"
"Kill the demon!"
Seeing the reappearance of the demon, many giants even seemed excited.
They raised their weapons and charged towards the Earth Immortal powerhouse who had just descended into this realm.
However, the situation this time was clearly different.
When the previous group descended into this realm, they were all in their weakest state, at the end of their strength, which allowed the giants to seize an opportunity.
But the Earth Immortal powerhouses who descended this time were all in their prime.
