Xiao Fei reached the late Nascent Soul stage and spent some time in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation before emerging from the mountain cave again to seek targets.
The near-death experience with a Soul Transformation expert last time had made him much more cautious. He had to thoroughly assess the situation before making a move.
Furthermore, after each operation, he would immediately flee a thousand miles away and only reappear in a distant location.
Whenever he attacked, if it was a demon lair, he would slaughter all the demons there and collect all the corpses.
If it was a human territory, he would kill the leading Nascent Soul cultivator and let the rest escape.
His existence had already caused significant trouble for the demon race, and that Bone Spike Demon was still searching for him, intending to capture him alive.
Recently, Xiao Fei had been active in the southeastern direction of the East Continent.
Alone, accompanied by a group of puppets, he was like an army. With the occasional use of poison, he had successfully destroyed several strongholds.
One day, twenty puppets identical to Xiao Fei were attacking a human faction.
Meanwhile, Xiao Fei's true form remained hidden far away, transformed into a piece of green stone, motionless. His divine sense, however, constantly monitored the battlefield through the puppets.
Just then, a powerful aura suddenly flew rapidly towards them from a distance.
"The Holy Race's Soul Transformation ancestor has come to save us!"
A human cultivator, surrounded by puppets, exclaimed in joy.
In the brief moment of his cheer, a sword light flashed, and a head flew off, accompanied by a pillar of blood shooting into the sky.
Alas, the moment he saw hope, he was ruthlessly killed by Xiao Fei's puppet. In the end, he still died.
At that very moment, the Bone Spike Demon appeared in the sky.
Seeing these puppets again, he was more cautious this time. He did not approach but instead summoned a bone spike from afar and hurled it towards the puppets below.
The moment the Bone Spike Demon's aura appeared, a white light erupted from the green stone where Xiao Fei was hidden. As the white light dissipated, the green stone vanished.
Xiao Fei had already escaped eight hundred miles away using a Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman.
He did not stop and continued flying towards the northwestern direction of the East Continent.
The reason he had been operating continuously in one area was to create a diversion, drawing the pursuing Soul Transformation demons to the southeast.
He had already learned that the Sealed Demon Cave, guarded by the White Bone Sect of the former Eagle Mountain Kingdom, also housed a large number of captive human cultivators, and he intended to destroy it.
However, fearing the might of the demon race's Soul Transformation experts, he was somewhat afraid of dying and could only lure the Soul Transformation demons elsewhere first.
Then, he would stealthily return. When he stealthily returned to the former White Bone Sect's territory, he directly and familiarly headed towards the Sealed Demon Cave.
Here, a Nascent Soul demon was also stationed, but Xiao Fei cut him down with a single strike.
He was now in the late Nascent Soul stage, with the second level of the "Wind Thunder Battle Body." As long as he did not face a Soul Transformation expert, he could defeat any other opponent with a single strike. Any more would seem excessive.
Entering the familiar Sealed Demon Cave, the demonic energy within was even more potent than before.
Deep within the Sealed Demon Cave, he indeed found a large number of human cultivators whose consciousness had been erased. They were all parasitized by demon seeds within their bodies.
They were merely consumables for the demon race to cultivate their next generation.
Xiao Fei showed no mercy and, as usual, set fire to all these cultivators.
There was nothing he could do. Even if he removed the demon seeds, he could not restore their consciousness, and he did not have that much time.
After burning the parasitized cultivators, he continued deeper.
The seals on the Sealed Demon Well ahead had also all been opened, and streams of true demonic energy were emanating from it.
These streams of true demonic energy naturally contained a large number of demon seeds.
Xiao Fei directly unleashed several bolts of lightning, bombarding this entire area. The remaining demon seeds in the demonic energy were all annihilated.
After doing this, he finally had the leisure to look at the Sealed Demon Well, from which true demonic energy continuously poured out.
This was a passage leading to the demon realm, through which demons could come to the East Continent.
Naturally, humans on the East Continent could also use the passage to travel to the demon realm.
From some ancient texts, it was known that ancient human cultivators frequently went to the demon realm to slay demons for sacrifices.
Now, the humans on the East Continent lacked the power to protect themselves. He was only thinking if there was any way to destroy this passage or reseal it.
He did have methods for resealing, but they required many materials and a long time. Demon experts would not give him that much time.
Moreover, even resealing it would be of little use. It was currently controlled by the demon race, and they could reopen it at any time.
As for destruction, it was likely even more difficult. If it were possible, it would have been destroyed long ago.
As he pondered and hesitated, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura emanating from the Sealed Demon Well.
He had experienced this level of aura many times before; it should be a Soul Transformation expert.
This powerful aura seemed to be approaching from afar.
He had known for a long time that the Sealed Demon Well was a passage between two worlds, but he had never personally seen anyone come through it before.
It seemed that the few Soul Transformation experts who had suddenly appeared on the East Continent earlier must have come from the demon realm through the Sealed Demon Well.
Xiao Fei instinctively wanted to turn and flee. He truly could not defeat a Soul Transformation demon.
However, he was unwilling to leave just like that. He felt he had to do something. Even if he couldn't win, he at least wanted to squat on it and relieve himself, splashing the demon.
But on second thought, poisoning would be more damaging than defecating.
With this thought, he did not rush to leave. He first threw in some poison formulated with five-thousand-year-old Wulong Vine roots.
But this was still not enough. After thinking for a while, he conceived a bold idea.
Immediately, he suppressed all his killing intent. Many powerful beings were very sensitive to such intent.
Instead, he deceived himself, believing that the person approaching was a relative and that he should welcome the Holy Race's Soul Transformation expert with the warmth of spring.
He continuously released goodwill, hoping it would be somewhat useful.
Then, his divine sense covered the entire exit of the Sealed Demon Well. The other end of his divine sense was directly connected to his spatial realm.
On this side of the spatial realm, he had also made specific arrangements beforehand, controlling the spiritual energy within the realm to create a relatively large prison.
The prison was completely enclosed, making it impossible to see the situation inside. It also prevented damage to the flora and fauna within the realm.
After making all preparations, Xiao Fei continued to release goodwill, almost to the point of calling out terms of endearment.
Indeed, his efforts were not in vain. The aura in the passage grew closer, and Xiao Fei's heartbeat quickened.
At this moment, within the passage of the Sealed Demon Well, a demon with a single horn on its head, a Soul Transformation expert, appeared somewhat weary. Crossing from one world to another was not an easy feat; the process was arduous.
Fortunately, he was almost there. He could even sense the goodwill from his own kind on the other side.
He couldn't help but quicken his pace and finally flew out of the passage exit.
However, he discovered that the exit of the passage was a sealed space. This was his first time here, and he was not yet familiar with the situation on this side.
Just as the demon was about to examine this sealed space, he found that the exit he had come through had disappeared.
