Xiao Fei saw the five people surrounding him, a little surprised.
He had been guarding against the demon race attacking him from the start.
He hadn't expected the demon race to appear, but instead, human powerhouses had rushed from afar to ambush him.
"May I ask what this means, fellow Daoists?"
Xiao Fei asked, somewhat confused, while secretly observing which direction he should escape.
With one Void Refining stage cultivator and four Spirit Transformation stage cultivators, he was no match for them. Escaping with his life was enough.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I advise you to stop pretending. You are not a scion of a noble family at all."
For some reason, He Ling had seen through his false identity.
Or perhaps he was just trying to bluff Xiao Fei. In any case, they were still deep in the West Sea, the territory of the demon race.
Killing Xiao Fei here, as long as they cleaned up their tracks, no one would suspect them.
The Golden Peng tribe should ultimately bear the blame.
"Kid, you killed several of our Three Mountains Sect's Spirit Transformation elders. Today, I will avenge them."
It turned out that this Void Refining stage powerhouse was a master from the Three Mountains Sect, here to seek revenge on Xiao Fei.
Moreover, the treasures Xiao Fei carried were truly covetable.
A spiritual treasure, countless rare spiritual herbs, and a legendary Kunpeng.
Possessing any one of these three was enough to invite a fatal disaster.
It seemed that the previous competition was merely a probe, or perhaps a smokescreen.
As the Void Refining stage powerhouse of the Three Mountains Sect spoke, a surge of spiritual power emanated from him, enveloping a large area of the surrounding sea within his domain.
At the same time, the remaining four Spirit Transformation stage cultivators each summoned a flying sword, forming a sword formation in the air, and attacked Xiao Fei from different directions.
"You all have truly gone to great lengths to deal with me, Xiao."
He and Fei Yu were only in the early stage of Spirit Transformation, but to deal with him, a Void Refining stage cultivator had been dispatched to seal a large area with his domain.
Now, with a sword formation composed of four Spirit Transformation stage powerhouses, it was foolproof.
"You cannot escape this time!"
Facing the simultaneous attack of four flying swords, Xiao Fei could only summon a large bronze bowl to shield himself.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The bronze bowl was a spiritual treasure. When he summoned it, it withstood the combined attacks of the four Spirit Transformation cultivators without suffering any substantial damage.
The four Dharma artifact-grade flying swords could not leave even a scratch on the bronze bowl.
Xiao Fei, hidden beneath the bronze bowl, was unharmed, only feeling deafening sounds that made his blood surge.
His internal spiritual power was also rapidly being depleted due to the combined attacks of the four.
For ordinary Spirit Transformation stage cultivators, the rapid depletion of spiritual power was fatal in combat, making it difficult to replenish quickly.
Therefore, He Ling and the other three were not in a hurry as they could not injure Xiao Fei for the moment. Instead, they continued to attack the bronze bowl fiercely.
However, to the disappointment of the world, under their fierce attacks, Xiao Fei still had the energy to maintain the defense of the bronze bowl.
Gradually, the spiritual power within the four of them was increasingly depleted, and the flying swords they attacked with lacked their former force, appearing much weaker.
The four were somewhat unable to understand. Their combined attacks had exhausted their spiritual power, yet Xiao Fei, with his own strength, could still persist.
Moreover, their battlefield was within the domain of a Void Refining stage powerhouse, which had already restricted Xiao Fei's ability to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Just as the four were running out of spiritual power and filled with suspicion.
They saw Xiao Fei, full of vigor, lift the large bowl. Under his control, the bronze bowl was cast towards He Ling.
The moment his bronze bowl was about to cover He Ling, a force of法则 (law/principle) was suddenly applied to the bowl, attempting to push it away.
"Disperse!"
Xiao Fei shouted, and a layer of light emanated from the bronze bowl, a similar force of法则 that pushed away the法则 from the domain.
Then, the bowl was cast down, and He Ling was covered.
With one person trapped in the sword formation composed of four people, the formation was immediately broken.
The Void Refining stage powerhouse of the Three Mountains Sect had been maintaining the domain to prevent Xiao Fei from escaping.
After the brief collision of法则 just now, he discovered that Xiao Fei had actually been hiding his true strength while being surrounded by them.
As he inwardly cursed his misfortune and was about to strike with full force.
Xiao Fei had already reached out and summoned the bowl, along with He Ling inside, back into his hand, and then plunged towards the ocean.
At the same time, a bow and arrow appeared in Xiao Fei's hand.
As he broke through the Void Refining domain's obstruction, he drew his bow taut like a full moon.
Consuming his internal spiritual power, he furiously infused it into the arrow. The black arrow had already transformed into a demonic dragon, about to shoot forward.
But this was far from enough. He was facing the obstruction of a Void Refining stage powerhouse's法则 domain.
Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes. At this moment, the法则 of laughter and the法则 of gathering and dispersing that he had comprehended were simultaneously mobilized and infused into the arrow.
"Whoosh!"
A black dragon surged out, carrying infinite might, instantly breaking through layers of obstruction, and piercing a hole of light in the darkness.
Xiao Fei seized this opportunity and, with a single teleportation, broke through the domain.
With a "Plop!", Xiao Fei plunged into the West Sea.
When the cultivators from the Three Mountains Sect pursued him into the sea, Xiao Fei's shadow was nowhere to be found.
"Damn it! He still escaped!"
"Young Master He is still in his hands!"
"Chase quickly! We absolutely cannot let him get away."
The remaining four from the Three Mountains Sect quickly flew into the distance.
...
"Master, can we stop and rest for a while? I'm really too tired."
Fei Yu, carrying Xiao Fei, was shuttling through the ocean at extreme speed.
Since advancing to Spirit Transformation, setting aside combat power, his speed had increased several times, making him excellent for escaping.
In just a few blinks, he had already escaped the pursuit of the four from the Three Mountains Sect.
However, in the past year, Fei Yu's body had been a little weak.
After flying for a short while, he felt breathless and unable to exert force, his heart willing but his strength failing.
"You never complained about being tired when you were on Penglai Peak before! Keep flying!"
Xiao Fei cruelly urged. He had not yet escaped danger, and it was best to hide as far away as possible.
This fellow had worked in the Golden Peng tribe for a year, plowing fields, and had lost several pounds. He had never complained about being tired.
The Peng tribe, in order to obtain Kunpeng bloodline, had arranged for all suitable women in the tribe to have some indescribable interactions with him.
At that time, Fei Yu was overjoyed every day. When such good things happened, he never thought of his neighbor, his master.
Now, when escaping, he felt tired, and Xiao Fei had no intention of showing any consideration for his subordinate.
Helpless, Fei Yu could only muster his remaining strength and continue to travel forward rapidly.
After making a large circle in the West Sea, Xiao Fei found a deserted island, dug a temporary cave dwelling, and hid inside to temporarily calm his agitated emotions.
At this moment, in the spatial dimension.
He Ling had been imprisoned in the spatial dimension since being captured by the bronze bowl. In his perception, a long time had passed.
Today, Xiao Fei's figure finally appeared before him.
"My grandfather is the Grand Elder of the Thousand Crane Sect. You'd better release me, otherwise, my grandfather will not let you go."
Xiao Fei remained noncommittal.
"First, tell me, why did you target me?"
