Xiao Fei led Ji Wudi into a secret chamber, and the two completed another clandestine transaction.
Afterward, they emerged from the chamber as if nothing had happened. Xiao Fei continued to stroll around with his hands behind his back, while Ji Wudi immediately announced his seclusion for cultivation upon returning to his cave dwelling.
Xiao Fei made a few more rounds on Meteor Island but found no suitable destined individuals. With a sigh of regret, he returned to his cave dwelling to cultivate.
Currently, Huang Feifei and Zhu Yu were still taking turns leading a flying giant ship to conduct guerrilla warfare on the East Continent, while the other remained on the island to recuperate with the flying ship.
Recently, it was Huang Feifei's turn to recuperate on the island. Xiao Fei gave her a batch of pills and instructed her to find excuses to bestow them upon those she found pleasing, trustworthy, and loyal.
Naturally, those considered "their own" by Xiao Fei and Huang Feifei benefited the most.
Fei Xin, who had been managing the Treasure Pavilion for Xiao Fei and was responsible for generating wealth, had now reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
However, due to bad luck or insufficient talent, he had encountered a bottleneck and was unable to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
As a result, Fei Xin's son, Fei Ming, had already caught up to his father's cultivation level.
Furthermore, Xiao Fei's fifth senior sister from back then, Huangfu Xuan, had also been receiving special care from Huang Feifei and was now close to breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Although Xiao Fei had always told Huang Feifei that there were too many people who liked him in the world to possibly care for them all, urging her not to worry too much.
Huang Feifei had surveyed the entire Meteor Island multiple times. Indeed, there were far too many people who liked Zhu Yu; without a solid grasp of mathematics, it was impossible to count them all.
However, when it came to those who secretly admired Xiao Fei, Huang Feifei searched high and low and only found Huangfu Xuan. This immediately sparked a sense of kindred spirit in her heart, believing they shared the same discerning taste.
Out of the more than a hundred thousand people on Meteor Island, aside from Huangfu Xuan, everyone else was apparently blind.
If one had to mention another, Ji Wudi, whose head was filled with muscle, could barely qualify.
But what right did a rough fellow like Ji Wudi have to admire her young master?
Therefore, Huang Feifei provided considerable care to Huangfu Xuan, the only one with a shared affection.
Huangfu Xuan herself was unaware that by occasionally stealing glances at Xiao Fei, she had attracted numerous opportunities, and her cultivation had grown rapidly.
"Sister Xuan'er! Long time no see!"
One day, Huang Feifei encountered Huangfu Xuan by the sea and affectionately took her hand, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
What a beautiful girl! It was a pity her young master wasn't interested, Huang Feifei sighed inwardly.
"Huangfu Xuan pays her respects to Senior!"
"We're family now, no need to be so formal with me."
Without further ado, Huang Feifei pulled Huangfu Xuan along.
"Let's go catch some seafood. We'll have a seafood feast together tonight."
The relationship between two women with a shared passion was always so harmonious. Soon, they dove into the turbulent East Sea together.
Just as the two women were excitedly catching shrimp and abalone in the East Sea, Huang Feifei's expression drastically changed.
A large mass of black demonic energy was rapidly approaching Meteor Island, concealed by the seabed.
"You go back and sound the alarm!"
Huang Feifei shouted, pushing Huangfu Xuan away. She then summoned a flying sword and slashed towards the demonic energy ahead.
"Boom!"
The flying sword struck the mass of demonic energy, cleaving it open to reveal hundreds of demonic experts hidden within.
A Nascent Soul stage demon with gill-like features flew out from among the multitude. A bloodstain appeared on his arm, clearly indicating that Huang Feifei's sword had wounded him.
"Annihilate this woman first!"
"According to intelligence, this is the only Nascent Soul stage cultivator stationed on Meteor Island. If we surround and kill her, Meteor Island will fall without a fight."
"The rest of you spread out, encircle the entire Meteor Island, and do not let a single person escape."
The group of demons chattered in their guttural language, assigning their next actions.
The hundreds of approaching demons immediately dispersed, leaving only two Nascent Soul stage demons who sneered and advanced towards Huang Feifei.
Simultaneously, in other directions of the East Sea seabed, demonic forces also appeared for a surprise attack.
Clearly, the demons were well-prepared this time.
The human race frequently conducted guerrilla warfare on the East Continent, harassing the demons. Although the demons possessed greater strength, they were often left in disarray.
This time, the demons had targeted the largest human gathering place in their rear, intending to deliver a heavy blow to the humans.
A demon with a black dragon head and two horns, a Nascent Soul stage demon dragon, held a noble position in the demon realm and was the overall commander of this assault.
The demon dragon, along with a group of his confidantes, swam at a moderate pace behind the main demonic forces. Just then, a messenger hurried over and presented a jade slip.
"Reporting to Lord Demon Dragon, a female cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage has been discovered in the southern sea region."
The demon dragon took the jade slip and reviewed the specific information. After a moment of thought, he ordered:
"Command to let this female cultivator escape. Other Nascent Soul stage powerhouses are not to reinforce, nor are they to reveal themselves. Not a single trace of their aura must be leaked."
"As you command!"
The messenger conveying the order departed hastily without hesitation, carrying out the demon dragon's command.
Although such an order was peculiar, the subordinates had no right to question it; they simply had to comply.
"Lord Demon Dragon, why are we letting her escape? If we kill this woman, there will be no more Nascent Soul stage cultivators on Meteor Island."
A Nascent Soul stage demon asked with some confusion.
"Hahaha..."
"Not only will I flatten Meteor Island in this battle, but I will also annihilate all the human elites here."
The demon dragon burst into laughter.
Among the other demons beside him, those with sharp minds immediately understood. It turned out they were planning to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
"So, Lord Demon Dragon intends to..."
The sharp-minded demon was about to finish speaking when he was tugged by a companion beside him. Immediately understanding, he changed his words.
"Lord Demon Dragon's foresight is profound. We are ignorant and cannot comprehend the intricacies. We implore you to enlighten us."
The demon dragon laughed triumphantly, feeling a sense of superiority from his intellect surpassing others.
"First, I will encircle Meteor Island and then attack it slowly.
At this time, I must not display too much strength. It is sufficient to appear only slightly stronger than Meteor Island.
This is to leave a sliver of hope for the humans. Other human cultivators will then come to reinforce.
Especially that flying ship that has been operating all over the East Continent. We couldn't catch them before, but now we can let them walk into our trap.
If we reveal too much strength now, all other humans will be scared away. Who would dare to come and reinforce?"
After carefully listening to the demon dragon explain his plan, the other demons displayed expressions of sudden enlightenment and realization.
"Lord Demon Dragon's foresight is deep and his vision is lofty. We are not even a tenth of your caliber."
"With Lord Demon Dragon personally taking action, the humans are destined to turn to ashes!"
"After this battle, there will be no more human disturbances in this realm!"
Amidst a chorus of flattery, a net cast for the entire human race was quietly unfurled.
