When Xiao Fei charged out of Sanshan Island at full speed, a large group of tails was already chasing him.
Xiao Fei glanced back and saw that among the pursuers, including the young man, there were four Nascent Soul cultivators and a large group of miscellaneous Nascent Soul cultivators.
It seemed that the Sanshan Sect was very concerned about him; out of the sect's twenty to thirty Nascent Soul cultivators, so many had been dispatched at once.
Fortunately, the pursuing Nascent Soul cultivators were not particularly fast, their speed being similar to Xiao Fei's.
Seeing this, he saw no need to reveal the Flying Fish. Instead, he pretended to flee with all his might, appearing quite disheveled from behind.
The large-scale pursuit of Xiao Fei by the Sanshan Sect had already alerted the cultivators on the island, and they all flew into the air to watch the spectacle.
No one knew what heinous act this person had committed to provoke such a desperate pursuit by the Sanshan Sect.
Xiao Fei fled forward rapidly, growing further and further away from Sanshan Island.
Being chased like this continuously was not a viable solution, and he was looking for a suitable place to make a stand.
Over the years, he had been attacked by other cultivators for his treasures, and he had gained some understanding of the surrounding sea areas.
At this moment, he had flown into a black sea area. The spiritual energy in this sea area was too thin, and other cultivators or demonic beasts rarely came here.
When Xiao Fei stopped, the Sanshan Sect cultivators immediately surrounded him.
At the innermost perimeter were the four Nascent Soul cultivators, with dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators forming a second ring of encirclement on the outside.
In the distance, there was a large crowd of cultivators who had come to watch the excitement.
Even cultivators couldn't shake off their habit of spectating and enjoying gossip.
"Heh heh! Kid! You can't escape today, why don't you surrender!"
If it weren't for the mysterious powerful being hidden behind Xiao Fei, the Sanshan Sect would never have dispatched four Nascent Soul cultivators at once to deal with a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei ignored the taunts of the Sanshan Sect cultivators and waved his hand. Suddenly, a colossal creature appeared beside him.
Having cooperated with Xiao Fei multiple times, the Flying Fish had a tacit understanding. As soon as it appeared, it transformed into a golden Kun Peng, a giant bird.
"Wow! What kind of spirit beast is this? It can transform!"
"It seems to be the legendary Kun Peng!"
"Haven't these legendary divine beasts long since gone extinct?"
The cultivators watching from afar in a gossiping crowd chattered amongst themselves, some with eyes filled with greed and jealousy.
They wondered what stroke of luck this kid had to possess a legendary Kun Peng as a spirit pet.
Among this crowd, the most regretful was the young Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sanshan Sect.
He hadn't expected Xiao Fei to hide a legendary Kun Peng.
If he had known earlier, he would have searched Xiao Fei more thoroughly, and this Kun Peng would already be in his possession.
Although he could no longer re-enslave the Kun Peng, he could kill the original owner and then use some special methods to subdue the Kun Peng.
Even if he ultimately couldn't subdue the Kun Peng, he could still kill it.
This was a legendary divine beast; its body, bones, feathers, and blood were all incredibly valuable rare materials.
The moment the Flying Fish transformed, it immediately unleashed its most powerful move.
Golden feathers appeared on its wings, sweeping forward like crescent moons towards a Nascent Soul cultivator in the air.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
With a flash of golden crescent moons, a Nascent Soul cultivator was instantly killed!
"Legendary divine beasts are indeed extraordinary; they can kill a Nascent Soul cultivator with just one move."
"If I could have such a divine beast as a spirit pet, I'd walk sideways!"
Of the four Nascent Soul cultivators pursuing from the Sanshan Sect, one was instantly killed in a flash.
The remaining three immediately unleashed their full power and attacked Xiao Fei.
Although the Flying Fish had killed one of their companions with its first move, they were still reluctant to kill such a legendary divine beast. They preferred to capture it alive.
They all thought this young master was easy to bully!
Xiao Fei flashed to the Flying Fish's side, waved his hand, and put the Flying Fish back into his spatial artifact.
After unleashing its strongest attack, the Flying Fish was still trying to maintain a cool pose, but in reality, it was already exhausted.
The moment Xiao Fei put away the Flying Fish, the three Nascent Soul cultivators attacked with their flying swords, which simultaneously struck in front of him.
Suddenly, a bronze bowl appeared before Xiao Fei, growing to several zhang in size, blocking the attacks of the three flying swords.
"It's actually a spiritual treasure!"
"To think that such a small Nascent Soul cultivator would possess a spiritual treasure."
Someone knowledgeable recognized the item.
Even in the Tian Yuan Realm, spiritual treasures were not commonplace and remained extremely precious.
"What is this fellow's background? He possesses a legendary Kun Peng, and now a spiritual treasure has appeared."
"Could this person be a disciple of some ancient family traveling abroad?"
The cultivators watching the spectacle now felt a sense of schadenfreude.
Although the Sanshan Sect was powerful, compared to the ancient families on the Central Continent, they were not even fit to carry their shoes.
Xiao Fei was now surrounded by lightning, and a gentle breeze rose as his figure vanished from the spot.
The next instant, he appeared beside a Nascent Soul cultivator, his hand crackling with lightning, and he punched the back of the cultivator's head.
"Boom!"
Caught off guard, this Nascent Soul cultivator was hit squarely by Xiao Fei's punch, his eyes seeing stars.
While the opponent was dazed by the punch, Xiao Fei landed several more blows.
This Nascent Soul cultivator was completely stunned for a short period.
But for him, even more misfortune was yet to come. Xiao Fei's divine sense enveloped him, and he was immediately absorbed into the spatial artifact.
Once a Nascent Soul cultivator entered his spatial artifact, their fate was naturally to be at his mercy.
At the same time, Xiao Fei was attacked by the remaining two Nascent Soul cultivators, their blows landing on the bronze bowl he had summoned, making booming sounds.
"Fellow Daoists of the Sanshan Sect, I have important matters to attend to today and cannot stay any longer. We shall meet again!"
As Xiao Fei spoke, he used several consecutive teleports and escaped the encirclement meticulously set up by the Sanshan Sect.
This time, alone with the Flying Fish, facing two Nascent Soul cultivators simultaneously was his limit.
He wouldn't gain any advantage by fighting further.
Moreover, there were so many onlookers in the distance, ready to profit from the situation.
If they saw an opportunity, they might swarm him, snatch his treasures, and hack him to pieces before claiming a reward from the Sanshan Sect.
Xiao Fei broke free from the Sanshan Sect's encirclement and immediately flew off into the distance.
"Chase! Don't let him escape!"
However, the Flying Fish, which Xiao Fei had already put into his spatial artifact, had drunk a large jar of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wine within the artifact and used the artifact's 50x time acceleration to rest, recovering one to two tenths of its spiritual power.
At this critical moment of escape, Xiao Fei released the Flying Fish again to float in the air and then mounted it.
The Flying Fish utilized its flight advantage, and within a few breaths, it had disappeared from everyone's sight.
