As Xiao Fei's retreating figure completely vanished, Tian Si turned his head, his triangular eyes narrowing as he brazenly appraised Huang Feifei.
He felt triumphant, believing the peerless beauty before him would soon belong to him! He had already devised a thousand ways to ravish her.
As for Xiao Fei, if he managed to escape safely, Tian Si would personally offer his head to Huang Feifei to kick around like a ball.
Did he not realize that the spiritual medicine of the Black Blade Sect was not something easily obtained?
"Hehehehe... Fairy Huang! We are family from now on. Rest assured, this old man will not mistreat you!"
Despite Tian Si's words, the encirclement formed by the three of them showed no signs of loosening, vigilantly preventing Huang Feifei from escaping.
Huang Feifei, meanwhile, was calculating the time Xiao Fei had been gone, a faint smile appearing on her lips. She reached out, and a sharp sword exuding a chilling aura appeared in her hand.
"Fairy Huang, why bother? Even if you fight with all your might now, you cannot escape our grasp."
Tian Si, assuming Huang Feifei was preparing to fight desperately, quickly tried to dissuade her.
"Be obedient, put down your weapon. This old man will surely not mistreat you.
Besides, your young master Xiao should not have escaped the Black Blade Sect's territory yet."
Under Tian Si's persuasion, Huang Feifei inverted her sword, pointing the blade at her own neck.
"No! Fairy Huang, don't do anything rash. That brat just now is not worth you doing this."
Tian Si, mistaking Huang Feifei's action for suicidal despair, hurriedly tried to dissuade and threaten her.
"Even if you commit suicide, Fairy Huang, you cannot escape this old man's grasp. I will desecrate your corpse while it's still warm, and then refine and preserve it...
Hehehehehehehe..."
Tian Si spoke with wild gesticulations, believing he had intimidated Huang Feifei.
However, Huang Feifei cast a disdainful glance at Tian Si and, without hesitation, severed her own head with a swift sword strike.
As her head flew through the air, no blood splattered. The moment her head and body landed, they transformed into two sections of lotus root.
"Ah! She escaped! She definitely hasn't gone far, chase her!"
Tian Si roared, and the three of them prepared to pursue.
Just then, the runes in the cave mansion lit up, and the cage formation set within the mansion activated, blocking their exit.
This cave mansion was originally equipped with a hidden cage formation, specifically designed for trapping people.
However, both Huang Feifei and Xiao Fei were masters of formations, making such a trick seem like showing off before an expert.
Having resided there for so many days, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that they had discovered this hidden formation long ago.
In the past few days, they had made some adjustments to this cage formation, gaining control over it.
As the three Nascent Soul experts of the Black Blade Sect were trapped by the cage formation, Huang Feifei had already appeared a few miles away.
She did not linger after appearing, and in just a few blinks, she returned above the cave mansion where Tian Si and the other two were trapped.
Although this formation was activated temporarily, it could not hold the three Nascent Soul cultivators for long.
Huang Feifei hovered in the air above the cave mansion, continuously casting various incantations downwards to reinforce the cage formation.
While Huang Feifei was busy, Xiao Fei, who had left earlier, also returned, coming back to Huang Feifei's side to wait quietly.
Shortly after he had left, a Golden Core cultivator from the Black Blade Sect had blocked his path.
He had used a Soul Stabilizing Talisman to kill the cultivator silently, even collecting the corpse, preparing it for corpse refinement.
The three Nascent Soul experts of the Black Blade Sect, having trapped themselves in their own cage formation, were now extremely agitated, frantically attacking the formation.
However, when they designed this formation years ago, they had intended to trap powerful enemies, making it exceptionally sturdy. They never expected to be trapped within it themselves one day.
"You pair of dogs and bitches, just you wait!"
"When I get out, I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons out!"
The two, who had originally planned to leave together, heard the curses emanating from the cave mansion, their arrogance palpable.
"Feifei, how long do you estimate you can keep these three trapped?"
Huang Feifei pondered for a moment before replying, "About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn should be fine."
"The time for an incense stick? That should be enough to do many things!"
Xiao Fei mused. Since they had already offended the Black Blade Sect, they might as well go all out and offend them even more.
"You old geezer! Since you dared to scheme against me, today I'll set fire and burn down your wretched sect."
Xiao Fei shouted into the cave mansion, then, linking arms with Huang Feifei, they flew towards other parts of the Black Blade Sect.
The commotion here had already alerted the Black Blade Sect cultivators, and soon, shouts of killing erupted throughout the sect.
However, the Black Blade Sect's only three Nascent Soul experts were trapped within the cage formation.
The remaining disciples, if they were smart, would not dare to charge forward and seek death when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator like Huang Feifei.
Therefore, the Black Blade Sect disciples shouted their battle cries to the heavens, yet not a single one dared to step forward.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei could only shake his head and sigh inwardly.
Sects that leaned towards the demonic path, emphasizing strength and the survival of the fittest, generally had flawed values, were quite selfish, and lacked cohesion and unity.
In the sect's time of crisis, not a single person was willing to sacrifice their personal interests.
Conversely, when the sects of the Lu Kingdom faced extinction, many had stepped forward to fight and die for the cause.
For instance, his master, True Person Guangling, Elder Peng, and many other disciples.
This also made Xiao Fei realize that within a force, merely cultivating individual strength was far from enough; ideological education was also crucial.
He would have to promote this more within the guard team upon his return, letting them all know that dying in battle was glorious, and clinging to life was shameful.
Lost in thought, Huang Feifei led him to the entrance of a storeroom. The Black Blade Sect cultivators guarding the treasure vault had long since fled.
Huang Feifei cleaved open the door with her sword. Inside, rows of shelves were filled with various spiritual items, their treasures glinting so brightly they dazzled the eyes.
With time limited, the two entered the treasure vault and began sweeping items into their storage spaces as if they were mere trash.
In just a moment, the treasures within this entire storeroom were completely cleared out by them.
"Young Master, we still have some time. Which target should we go for next?"
Huang Feifei felt that this experience of raiding alongside Xiao Fei was incredibly wonderful. As for what they had plundered, she no longer cared.
"There's a library ahead. Let's go and move all the books inside."
If Xiao Fei successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, he would need to create the later stages of the "Primordial Five Elements Technique" himself.
Creating one's own cultivation technique was not easy. Drawing inspiration from the cultivation techniques and experiences of predecessors, and reading widely, would be of great help to him.
As Huang Feifei approached, the Black Blade Sect disciples, as if avoiding a plague, had already scattered far away, not daring to come near.
The two smoothly entered the Black Blade Sect's library, plundered it completely, and even set it ablaze as they left.
Then, two figures shot up into the sky and flew towards the distance, quickly disappearing into the horizon...
A moment later, the three Nascent Soul ancestors of the Black Blade Sect finally broke through the cage formation and rushed out in a furious rage, but the two had already long gone.
"Congratulations, Ancestors, for displaying your might and driving away the powerful enemies!"
"Ancestors' divine power is invincible, the despicable have fled in fear!"
Some quick-witted disciples, kneeling in the distance, shouted congratulations loudly.
The rest, prompted by this, also joined in the chorus of congratulations.
Tian Si and the other two ancestors had no choice but to accept this self-deceiving narrative.
They couldn't possibly admit to being trapped in their own formation by outsiders, could they? How could they face anyone after coming out!
