“Hahaha…”
Before the battle had even begun, one of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the opposing side was clutching his stomach, rolling on the ground with laughter.
The two accompanying him looked at him as if he were an idiot.
At the same time, he himself felt quite foolish. Why was he laughing so uncontrollably? It had ruined the otherwise serious atmosphere, but he simply couldn't stop!
“Snap!”
Xiao Fei snapped his fingers, and ten Nascent Soul puppets attacked the two figures before him. As for the one foolishly laughing on the ground, he had temporarily lost his combat ability.
His current understanding of the Law of Laughter allowed him to easily make someone laugh uncontrollably. While this had no significant killing power, it was quite useful for support.
Furthermore, he had a Spirit Calming Talisman nurtured within his body, which he had not used this time.
The longer this talisman was nurtured, the greater its power. It had been many years since he had last taken it out, and the day he did, it would surely be earth-shattering.
The ten puppets formed a formation, and facing these two Nascent Soul cultivators together was more than enough.
In just a moment, their heads were severed, and two skulls rolled to Xiao Fei's feet.
Finally, the revenge for the severed heads was achieved!
At this point, he picked up the one who had been foolishly laughing on the ground and dispelled his uncontrollable laughter.
This green-robed cultivator was gasping for breath. Laughing continuously was also tiring, and he could finally breathe normally.
However, Xiao Fei was no benevolent person. With a single saber strike, he severed one of the man's legs.
“Ah!”
Just as the green-robed cultivator caught his breath, he let out another scream of agony.
“Now I ask, you answer! Do you understand?”
Xiao Fei waved the bloody, sharp saber in front of the green-robed cultivator. Seeing no response, he brought down his blade again, severing the other leg.
“It seems you didn’t understand!”
The green-robed cultivator had no idea that the count started from that very sentence. Losing another leg for nothing, he was now terrified and nodded frantically.
“Gender?”
He was already prepared to divulge classified information, and it was only this? But he dared not think further.
“Male!”
“Name?”
“Li Changming!”
“Hobbies?”
“Exterminating evil and assisting the good, doing one good deed a day, peeking under female cultivators’ skirts…”
The green-robed cultivator was quick-witted. Seeing Xiao Fei’s expression gradually darken, he quickly confessed all his unspeakable hobbies.
Next, Xiao Fei questioned him from simple to difficult, extracting all the information he wanted to know.
It turned out that this secret realm had long been discovered by this human faction, and they had moved out everything portable within it.
Additionally, there were some more precious and delicate spiritual herbs and fruits. These varieties were quite sensitive and could only grow in specific locations, so they had not dared to move them recklessly and had left them in the secret realm.
They suspected that other human cultivators would surely come looking for them, so they had left the three of them to guard the entrance teleportation array. As soon as outsiders teleported in, they would be beheaded with a single sword strike.
Thus, Xiao Fei became the first unlucky soul, and at the same time, he had doomed these three guarding cultivators.
After Xiao Fei had extracted all the intelligence, he killed the remaining green-robed cultivator.
From the storage bags of these three, he found many rare spiritual items, which should have been plundered from Xian City.
Xian City was already extremely prosperous. The sudden sneak attack by the demon race had caused the deaths of many residents, and their life's accumulated wealth had become ownerless.
Also, during their hasty escape, a large amount of treasures had been left behind, most of which had fallen into the hands of these human traitors.
After dealing with the three corpses, Xiao Fei began to search for various spiritual items in this secret realm.
The spiritual energy here was abundant, and outsiders could not enter. It served as a base for the Great Qin Dynasty to cultivate some important spiritual herbs.
It could be said that the Great Qin Dynasty’s important assets were all stored here, especially those resources that could aid in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, which were cultivated in this secret realm.
The Great Qin Dynasty possessed all the medicinal ingredients for refining the Nascent Soul Pill, all cultivated in this secret realm.
The Nascent Soul Pill could increase the chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage by thirty percent, far surpassing the Heavenly Crystal Spiritual Liquid he had obtained before.
However, these two spiritual items could be used together without conflict. If he could refine the Nascent Soul Pill, his chance would be at least thirty-five percent.
It was a pity that, according to the green-robed cultivator’s confession, two very important spiritual herbs had been moved.
Xiao Fei had only searched for a short time in the secret realm before finding several treasures rarely seen in the outside world.
He had actually discovered two ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the secret realm.
Although ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were already quite common in his spatial dimension, it was extremely difficult to cultivate one in the outside world. Often, Nascent Soul stage powerhouses would fight fiercely for a single ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb, even triggering wars in the cultivation world.
The two ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs before him were surrounded by several layers of formations, some designed to gather spiritual energy, some to prevent insects and ants, and some to prevent them from being blown down by the wind…
Despite the protection of these numerous formations, these two ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs still appeared thin and weak, looking as if they were about to die at any moment.
Xiao Fei directly broke through these messy formations and roughly uprooted the two spiritual herbs, tearing off quite a few roots in the process.
He paid no attention to this. As long as they were planted in his spatial dimension, the vitality of these two ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs would be as tenacious as weeds.
After casually planting the two ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in his spatial dimension, he continued to search for other spiritual items.
Soon, he found another five-thousand-year-old Wulong Vine here.
This item was almost extinct in the current cultivation world. It was something he had been searching for for over a hundred years without success.
He had once traded for a poison formula from Old Ancestor Shangguan. This poison could incapacitate Nascent Soul stage Black Scale demons and was extremely potent.
However, the main ingredient, the Wulong Vine root of over three thousand years, had always eluded him.
Only today did he find this medicine.
Xiao Fei wasted no time, directly digging out this Wulong Vine. He cut off most of the roots for preservation, leaving only a slender root, and transplanted the vine along with it into his spatial dimension.
Following this, Xiao Fei swept through the secret realm like a whirlwind, moving all the precious spiritual herbs that had been left behind due to their extreme fragility into his spatial dimension.
………………
Just as Xiao Fei was plundering the secret realm and reaping immense rewards, a large number of demons had gathered around the ruins of Xian City.
The demons had learned that a group of humans dared to venture deep into their territory to search for treasures in the ruins of Xian City.
How could they let such foolish fish, walking into a trap, escape?
