"I'm out on a journey of cultivation, and my family worries about me, so they insisted on arranging some cultivators as guards and assistants," Ji Zhuo explained casually.
"By the way, if Fellow Daoist Xiao intends to seek revenge against the Xing family, I can also lend you a hand."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fei's expression showed surprise and joy.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ji, but this concerns life and death. How could I possibly let you risk danger?"
Ji Zhuo's face turned serious, and he waved his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you don't consider me a friend. I, Ji Zhuo, am known in the cultivation world as the peerless chivalrous one. To go through thick and thin for a friend is what our generation of cultivators should do without hesitation."
Seeing that Xiao Fei still seemed to want to say something, Ji Zhuo quickly raised his hand to stop him.
"If Fellow Daoist Xiao continues to decline, you'll be looking down on me, Ji Zhuo. Just notify me when you're ready to act."
"Then thank you. The Xing family is powerful, and I was worried, thinking my lifelong revenge was hopeless. With Fellow Daoist Ji's help, I see hope again."
After finishing a cup of tea, Ji Zhuo took his leave.
After seeing Ji Zhuo off, Xiao Fei returned to his secret chamber to ponder his next plan.
Just then, a black-robed cultivator arrived at the shop.
As Huang Feifei stepped forward to greet him, the black-robed cultivator spoke first.
"Sister Feifei! How have you been!"
"Ah? You are..."
Upon hearing the voice, Huang Feifei's face lit up with surprise, and she quickly welcomed the black-robed person into the back hall...
A month later, Ji Zhuo hurried to see Xiao Fei.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, we've discovered Young Master Xing is in a manor outside the city. It's a perfect opportunity to strike."
"Good! Fellow Daoist Ji, please wait a moment. I need to disguise myself to prevent the Xing family from tracking me."
Xiao Fei agreed and walked towards the secret chamber.
After about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Fei emerged from the secret chamber, dressed in a set of black robes.
Ji Zhuo turned to look.
Good heavens, this appearance was almost a complete transformation.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao's disguise technique is truly remarkable. Anyone unfamiliar with the details would never recognize your true self."
The Xiao Fei standing before Ji Zhuo had now transformed into a tall female cultivator.
Although there were still some similarities to Xiao Fei in her eyes, her temperament was entirely different. Without careful observation, one would truly struggle to recognize her.
"It's just a minor skill, not worth mentioning!"
Her voice was crisp, giving no hint of Xiao Fei's original demeanor.
"Let's go!"
The two left the shop and headed out of the city.
Eighty li outside the city, outside the manor where Young Master Xing was staying, many experts from the Ji family were already secretly observing.
Upon seeing Ji Zhuo arrive, a Soul Transformation expert quietly approached the two.
"What's the situation?"
"Reporting to Young Master, Young Master Xing has not come out since entering."
The Soul Transformation cultivator bowed and replied.
"There are a total of 2357 people inside. Besides Young Master Xing, there are 35 Nascent Soul cultivators, 13 Soul Transformation cultivators, 5 Soul Transformation stage spirit beasts, and Nascent Soul spirit beasts..."
Ji Zhuo's subordinates had already thoroughly investigated the inhabitants of the manor, and everything was ready.
Now, they were just waiting for Xiao Fei, the supporting character, to make his appearance.
"Now, I command our people to attack from three directions. Leave no one alive!"
At Ji Zhuo's command, countless figures in black surged out and rushed into the manor.
"Fellow Daoist Ji! What about me?"
Xiao Fei felt like he had become an observer, and he felt a little uneasy and embarrassed.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please remain calm. This manor houses a large number of Xing family experts. For safety's sake, it would be better for Fellow Daoist Xiao to wait a bit before entering."
"Alright!"
Since Ji Zhuo had said so, Xiao Fei felt at ease standing outside and watching the show.
After a short while, earth-shattering roars of killing filled the air, accompanied by intense spiritual energy fluctuations.
From time to time, tragic cries could be heard from the manor, indicating a fierce battle.
After another quarter of an hour, a communication talisman flew out of the manor and landed in Ji Zhuo's hand.
Ji Zhuo examined it with his divine sense and smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, it's time for you to act. Your chance for revenge has arrived."
"Good!"
Immediately, the two flew into the manor...
...
While the great battle was unfolding outside the city, the news had already reached the city.
Young Master Xing was a direct descendant of the Xing family sent to Tian Tong City for cultivation. If anything were to happen to him here, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Moreover, if this young master were to rise to power in the future, they, being in a favorable position, would become his confidantes and benefit from it.
Therefore, the moment they received the news, the cultivators of Tian Tong City did not dare to be negligent and all flew towards the outskirts of the city.
At this moment, a figure was lurking outside an important treasury of the Xing family.
He had concealed all his aura, blending in with the surrounding scenery.
If Ji Zhuo were here, he would surely be greatly astonished.
This person was also Xiao Fei.
Then who was the person who followed him into the manor and attacked Young Master Xing?
It was unclear how he managed to use his clones for two purposes.
Xiao Fei had already infiltrated the area outside the treasury. Seeing that the Void Refinement expert guarding the place had left, he cautiously peeked out and waved his hand. A puppet identical to Zhu Yu appeared beside him.
Then, he took out a jade bottle from his embrace and stuffed it into the puppet's hand.
"Go!"
Under Xiao Fei's control, the puppet strode towards the Xing family treasury ahead.
"Halt!"
"This is a restricted area. Those who trespass will die!"
Two Soul Transformation experts shouted loudly, stopping the puppet from moving forward.
But under Xiao Fei's control, the puppet seemed not to hear them and continued to stride forward.
"Kill!"
"Die!"
The two Soul Transformation experts simultaneously unleashed a thunderous strike.
"Boom boom!"
After two loud explosions, the puppet was blasted into pieces, and the jade bottle in its hand was also shattered.
A captivating floral fragrance emanated, spreading outwards.
At this moment, all the Xing family cultivators stationed at the treasury smelled a tempting floral fragrance.
The scent was intoxicating, making them recall the most beautiful moments of their lives, like first love...
By the time a few with strong willpower realized something was wrong, a large hammer struck their heads.
The Void Refinement expert guarding the treasury had already left. With Xiao Fei's strength, dealing with a few poisoned Soul Transformation cultivators was a simple matter.
In just over ten breaths, with a few instantaneous movements, all the remaining cultivators were eliminated by him.
There was also a protective formation outside the treasury, which was also useless against Xiao Fei.
He could even drill a hole in the Spirit Sealing Heaven Locking Formation, so the current formation was like a window paper to him, easily pierced.
As the laws circulated, his domain of laws expanded outwards, enveloping the entire treasury.
Then, Xiao Fei walked into the treasury as if no one was there. What he saw before him opened his eyes.
This treasury was filled with Jianmu ore.
The finger-sized ore he had obtained before was piled up like trash inside the treasury.
There were also many larger ones, the size of fists, arms, thighs, thicker than a waist, and as thick as buckets...
The largest piece was over a zhang in diameter and three zhang high, like a large log.
Xiao Fei's divine sense swept out like a storm, and everything it touched was collected into his spatial storage.
In just a moment, the entire treasury, except for the surrounding pillars and walls, was empty, not even a speck of dust on the ground survived.
From the time Xiao Fei broke into the treasury to his departure, it took less than half a quarter of an hour.
After he left, another half a quarter of an hour passed before the law enforcement cultivators of Tian Tong City arrived at the scene to collect the bodies.
