Xiao Fei had already thoroughly investigated the situation of the Tai Ran Sect. Besides the three Nascent Soul cultivators he had killed, there were four others who had not yet appeared.
His current identity as a demon was indeed useful. Under his threat, three more Nascent Soul cultivators from the Tai Ran Sect rushed over.
"Esteemed Envoy, only we are left in the sect. The other four have gone on distant journeys and cannot be recalled immediately."
Xiao Fei glanced at the nine individuals before him: one late Nascent Soul stage and three in the middle stage. He felt it was sufficient.
He then held his two heavy hammers, striking them together. A wave of spiritual energy rippled through the entire hall.
His behavior was quite impolite, but the nine Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tai Ran Sect present dared not offend the demon. They could only maintain stiff smiles.
Xiao Fei struck his dual hammers once and then stood still. The nine could only continue to maintain their stiff smiles.
Xiao Fei remained motionless!
They continued to smile, playing their part…
The atmosphere in the hall became awkward.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back their smile anymore!
"I… I think I've been poisoned!"
"Alas… I've been poisoned too!"
"Me too!"
After a brief period of panic and alarm, all nine glared at Xiao Fei with fury.
"What have you done to us?"
"We have no enmity with you, why would you frame us?"
"Why is this happening…"
The nine were bewildered. They had already become dogs for the demon race; wouldn't it be better to keep them to guard the house? Why kill the dogs?
"You are merely dogs raised by the Sacred Clan. I simply feel like eating dog meat today!"
Xiao Fei replied nonchalantly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Then, he raised his twin hammers and brought them down. The head of the Tai Ran Sect leader exploded.
The remaining nine, poisoned and unable to mobilize their spiritual energy, could only think of escaping.
But how could Xiao Fei let them go? He pursued them, swinging his hundred-thousand-jin heavy hammers. Wherever they landed, blood splattered, and limbs and flesh scattered everywhere. Not a single survivor could escape his hammers.
He swept his divine sense, and amidst the scattered flesh and blood, he found over a dozen storage bags. He flicked off the bits of meat stuck to them before tucking them into his embrace.
As Xiao Fei walked out of the great hall with his blood-stained twin hammers, the Tai Ran Sect disciples outside were already terrified into silence. Those with weaker nerves had already fled tens of miles beyond the mountain gate.
"Fellow Daoists, do not be afraid. I am not one to kill indiscriminately. I was merely feeling whimsical just now and lost control!"
His explanation, however, made the remaining Tai Ran Sect disciples feel even worse, completely devoid of any sense of security.
They had just killed all their Nascent Soul ancestors on a whim to amuse themselves. What if their whim struck again next time, and they were flayed and their tendons pulled out for his amusement?
"You! Come here!"
Xiao Fei casually pointed at a Golden Core cultivator in the distance. This person, with lowered brows and eyes, cautiously approached Xiao Fei.
"What are your commands, Esteemed Envoy?"
"Draw me a map of the Tai Ran Sect!"
The Golden Core cultivator quickly and tremblingly took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Xiao Fei with both hands.
Xiao Fei casually took the jade slip and examined it. It was the same as the information he had obtained from his interrogation, with no discrepancies.
"Hmm! You are very good!"
"Thank you for your praise, Esteemed Envoy. It is my duty to serve you."
The Golden Core cultivator quickly bowed and thanked him, as if receiving praise from a demon would bring him glory for generations to come.
However, the next moment, the heavy hammer fell, and the Golden Core cultivator's body exploded into a mist of blood that splattered everywhere.
The Tai Ran Sect cultivators who were still hiding in the distance and quietly observing could no longer bear it. The difficulty of being a dog was too high; they couldn't do it anymore.
In reality, their demands were not high. They were content to simply survive in troubled times. Now, their demon master wanted to kill a few dogs for amusement whenever he was bored.
They were quitting!
Thus, the entire Tai Ran Sect, with its tens of thousands of disciples, began to quietly flee, running as far as they could.
They would rather not be dogs. Whoever wanted to be a dog could be one!
Xiao Fei had already discovered this scene with his divine sense. As long as they were not planning to escape with large amounts of wealth, he did not interfere.
The sect that was once the foremost sect within the Great Qin Dynasty was now completely ruined by him.
This served as a reminder to him. He could use the same method to visit other sects that had betrayed the human race.
Now, holding the map of the Tai Ran Sect, he went from one important sect location to another, more leisurely than strolling through his own backyard, appearing calm and unhurried.
The first place he visited was, naturally, the spiritual herb gardens of the Tai Ran Sect.
His visit to the Tai Ran Sect this time was not entirely for killing to amuse himself. He was after the main ingredients for two Nascent Soul Pills: the Hexagonal Red Phosphorus Fruit and the Celestial Vortex Flower.
The Tai Ran Sect had dozens of spiritual herb gardens. Excluding those with lower grades, there were three gardens that might contain these two spiritual herbs.
Xiao Fei searched from one garden to another. Indeed, after breaking through the protective array of a spiritual herb garden in the back mountain of the Tai Ran Sect, he found these two spiritual herbs.
These two spiritual herbs were relatively easy to cultivate among many spiritual herbs, but after being moved by the Tai Ran Sect, they still appeared to be on the verge of death.
Xiao Fei moved the two spiritual herbs into his space. With this, his recipes for Nascent Soul Pills were all complete.
However, most of the spiritual herbs had not yet matured and required time to cultivate.
This herb garden was likely the most important one in the Tai Ran Sect. Besides these two main ingredients for Nascent Soul Pills, the garden also contained over a dozen thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
Thousand-year-old spiritual herbs seemed insignificant in Xiao Fei's space, but for the entire Eastern Continent, they were still extremely scarce resources.
Even a mosquito's leg is meat. Xiao Fei collected all the spiritual herbs in the herb garden into his space.
Next, Xiao Fei swept through all the important locations of the Tai Ran Sect, including the library, the alchemy, artifact refining, and talisman crafting rooms, as well as several treasure vaults. He emptied them all.
Having been established for tens of thousands of years, the Tai Ran Sect had accumulated quite a substantial amount of wealth, comparable to Meteor Island.
If he sent these resources back to Meteor Island, it should be enough to build another flying grand vessel.
After finishing his plundering, Xiao Fei also set fire to the place as he left.
In any case, all the evil deeds he was committing were being attributed to the demon race, so he had no psychological burden.
This incident also inspired him. It seemed he could continue doing this.
The "Primordial Chaos Technique" he cultivated could imitate any kind of spiritual energy, including demonic energy. The black-scaled demon he transformed into was even more authentic than a real one.
However, after this exploit, he did not act immediately. He hid in a cave to lie low for a few days, waiting for the situation to calm down before going out.
He entered his space and began to organize the spiritual herbs obtained from the Tai Ran Sect, replanting those that could be used.
The small section of the Fire Spirit Fruit tree root that was transplanted into his space last time had now grown into a sapling over two feet tall, but it was still a long way from yielding spiritual fruits.
On the other hand, his Wood Spirit Fruit tree had once again bloomed and borne fruit.
As this tree had grown much larger, the fruits it bore this time were also more numerous. He should be able to pick over a dozen fruits.
As for the vine that had grown naturally in the space, it still showed no signs of blooming or bearing fruit.
Xiao Fei then looked at the mountain-like demon corpse in his space, as well as the other demon corpses collected during this period.
It was a pity that he couldn't use human corpses for sacrifice, otherwise, these few from the Tai Ran Sect wouldn't have been wasted.
Perhaps it was to prevent people from the Upper Realm from killing each other.
