Xiao Fei had not expected that the person seeking his medical treatment this time would be the all-powerful Great General, which startled him greatly.
Fortunately, the Great General seemed to have no intention of holding him accountable. After dismounting from his grand palanquin, he walked into Xiao Fei's grand hall.
"Since Divine Doctor Xiao has no time, I had to come in person. I implore Divine Doctor Xiao to treat me."
As the Great General entered the hall, his eight Nascent Soul realm experts followed closely, their powerful auras pressing down on the entire hall.
The cultivators who were originally waiting in the hall for Xiao Fei's treatment were intimidated by this presence and quietly withdrew.
The last cultivator to leave thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
Xiao Fei's gaze swept coldly over the eight Nascent Soul lackeys brought by the Great General.
Among these eight, one was in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and the remaining seven were in the early stage. At this moment, they were stationed in various corners of the hall.
The eight individuals' vital energies were subtly connected, arranged in a profound formation. Once activated, it could protect the Great General and Xiao Fei, who were in the center of the hall.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei could only scoff inwardly. The higher one's position and power, the more they feared death, resorting to such grand measures even for a medical visit.
At the same time, a sense of caution arose in him. The formation composed by these eight could not only defend against external attacks but also trap those within the formation.
Could this old fellow have some ulterior motives towards him, planning to do something unspeakable under broad daylight?
While Xiao Fei was lost in his thoughts, the Great General was ready.
"Divine Doctor Xiao, let us begin!"
He sat obediently on a chair, waiting for Xiao Fei to treat him.
"The treatment fee is 300,000 spirit stones, and the corpse of a Nascent Soul stage demon!"
Xiao Fei did not act immediately. Although the other party had a great background, he ran a small business and had to collect his fees.
Moreover, even if he groveled and waived all fees, after this matter, people would not remember who Xiao Fei was.
"Hmm..."
The Great General was clearly annoyed. He had traveled far and wide, and all cultivators met him with bowing and eager attempts to please him.
His willingness to accept someone's favor was considered giving them face.
Today, someone was actually conducting business as usual, demanding spirit stones and a demon corpse. Truly, they dared to earn money from anyone.
"Very well, here are 300,000 spirit stones and a demon corpse. Take them."
The Great General said, taking out a storage bag from his embrace and holding it out, signaling Xiao Fei to come and take it.
Just as Xiao Fei reached out to touch the storage bag, he saw the Great General suddenly spring up, a dark palm striking down from above.
The sudden turn of events startled Xiao Fei, who hastily retreated. However, his escape route was blocked by the eight Nascent Soul experts, leaving him with nowhere to go.
Before he could even summon his Soul Stabilizing Talisman, a dark palm struck down.
With a crisp "crack," Xiao Fei's forehead shattered.
"Form the array!"
The Great General roared, and the eight Nascent Soul experts formed their array, preventing the Nascent Soul from escaping.
However, no Nascent Soul emerged from Xiao Fei's body. His headless corpse fell to the ground, transforming into two sections of somewhat broken lotus roots.
"He escaped! Quickly, pursue him!"
Immediately, the Great General, along with the eight Nascent Soul experts, broke through the roof and hovered in the air.
The Great General's divine sense spread out, and he quickly located Xiao Fei, who had reappeared three miles away.
Xiao Fei took a talisman from a storage bag and slapped it onto himself. His figure blurred, and he vanished again.
This time, he escaped even further, and Xiao Fei's trace was already gone from his divine sense.
The Great General produced a strand of Xiao Fei's hair and cast a spell, discovering that the hair was drifting eastward.
Just as he was about to lead his men eastward in pursuit, the commotion had already alerted everyone on Meteor Island.
Huang Feifei was the first to arrive. Although her strength was inferior, she still blocked the Great General.
The other Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators were also rushing over.
This was Meteor Island, their territory. Even if the other party was the Great General of the Qin Kingdom, they could not act so recklessly here.
"Xiao Fei attempted to assassinate the Great General and failed, he has now fled. However, anyone who dares to obstruct me will be considered an accomplice!"
Yet, Huang Feifei remained unmoving, blocking the Great General's path without any intention of retreating.
"Those who block me shall die!"
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the Great General's palm struck Huang Feifei, sending her flying to the side like a kite with a broken string.
At the same time, the seven-colored treasure skirt on Huang Feifei's body suddenly radiated light, blocking most of the power of the Great General's strike.
"Huh! Not dead?"
The Great General exclaimed in surprise. The vast difference between the early and late Nascent Soul stages meant that his blow was enough to blow Huang Feifei to smithereens.
Yet, Huang Feifei seemed to have not been seriously injured.
However, seeing that others from Meteor Island were about to arrive, he couldn't bother with these minor matters. Chasing Xiao Fei was more important.
Xiao Fei was the great enemy of the entire demon race; this child must not be allowed to live!
However, the Great General pursued in the direction indicated by the hair for thousands of miles, ultimately losing Xiao Fei's trace completely.
His spell had a limit to its sensing range, and once it exceeded that range, he could no longer find him.
In such a vast Eastern Sea, finding Xiao Fei was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The demon race's assassination plan for Xiao Fei had failed once again!
This child had too much luck and too many escape methods, causing the demon race's repeated attempts to fail.
Could it be that this child was favored by heaven, making him so difficult to kill!
The Great General sighed and shook his head, feeling that the demon race was unlucky to encounter such a troublesome nemesis.
With the failure of this assassination attempt on Xiao Fei, he had incurred the wrath of many. Not only the cultivators of Meteor Island but also the entire human and demon races would now view him with hostility. He had to prepare himself.
As the Great General departed, he left behind a few confidants hidden near Meteor Island. Once Xiao Fei returned, they were to report to him immediately.
On the other side, after reappearing using the substitute puppet, Xiao Fei did not hesitate. He immediately used a Thousand Mile Teleportation Talisman to escape, successfully reaching a distance of 600 miles.
Then, he released his Flying Fish. The Nascent Soul stage Flying Fish, with its extreme speed, was something even late Nascent Soul cultivators could only chase from afar.
He had no intention of returning to confront the Great General head-on. Firstly, the Great General was powerful and difficult to deal with, and it was possible that the entire Meteor Island would be implicated, suffering heavy casualties.
Moreover, even if he managed to win a pyrrhic victory against the Great General, the consequences would not be optimistic.
The Great General's identity was extraordinary, and at times, he could represent the Great Qin Dynasty.
His confrontation with the Great General would be equivalent to standing against the Great Qin Dynasty, making him an enemy of the Great Qin Dynasty.
He, with his small stature, could not bear such a charge, nor could Meteor Island.
Since that was the case, it was better for him to retreat temporarily.
Based on the brief contact just now, the Great General's attack carried a trace of pure demonic energy. Although it was only a trace, he could feel that it was very different from the demonic energy used by ordinary demonic cultivators.
He suspected that the Great General was very likely a demon in disguise. If that were the case, it would explain the Great General's repeated defeats and losses over the years.
In the future, he would have to find a way to spread this information.
