After activating the Thousand Mile Teleportation Talisman, Xiao Fei was enveloped by a white light. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself a hundred miles away.
Having escaped the Sect Master's range of control, his body and spiritual power had returned to normal, allowing him to move freely.
At a distance of a hundred miles, based on his estimation of the Sect Master's speed, it should only take two hours for him to catch up.
Just then, a flock of geese flew south overhead.
Xiao Fei immediately mounted his artifact and pursued them. He took a jade pendant from his waist, tied it to the leg of one of the geese, and then let it fly away.
This jade pendant was engraved with a spirit-gathering formation, which could accelerate cultivation. It was a gift from the Sect Master himself when Xiao Fei had just established his foundation.
At the time, he thought the Sect Master valued him and had been excited about it. However, looking back now, it was likely a tracking artifact.
He had been too rushed to discard it earlier, so now he could only trouble this goose to help him out a little.
The goose, carrying his jade pendant, hurried south.
Xiao Fei, meanwhile, took off his robes, retrieved another magic robe from his spatial storage, and flew hastily towards the west.
He estimated that the Sect Master had likely placed many hidden mechanisms on him, but these mechanisms, being on his person, couldn't be too obvious, thus their effects would be greatly weakened.
For instance, his movements had been restricted by a single spell earlier, but this effect had disappeared once he was a hundred miles away.
As long as he could hide far enough, the measures the Sect Master had set up would become ineffective.
Xiao Fei flew west without stopping.
In his current state, returning to the sect would likely result in him being killed as an evil cultivator, while the true evil cultivator sat on the Sect Master's throne, watching the show.
He could only flee as far as possible.
About half an hour later, Sect Master Dan Xin caught a goose fleeing south.
In a fit of rage, the Sect Master bit off the goose's neck and swallowed it whole, its feathers, blood, and droppings filling his mouth.
Wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, he transformed into a streak of light and pursued north in the opposite direction.
Xiao Fei continued to fly west. His current appearance was too conspicuous and could easily lead to him being mistaken for an evil cultivator.
The best way to hide a drop of water was to merge it into the ocean.
The most dangerous places were often the ones enemies least expected. He planned to hide in the lair of the evil cultivators.
He would lay low for a while, and once his physical issues were resolved and he had accumulated some strength, he would return to Lu Country and secretly contact True Master Guang Ling to deal with the Sect Master.
He flew at full speed along the way, choosing only desolate mountains and uninhabited areas.
After more than a month of continuous flight, he finally saw a slightly different small town ahead.
The town had no city walls, only a wooden palisade around it.
Many corpses hung from the palisade, swaying in the wind.
Outside the town was farmland, where a few farmers were toiling diligently, watering the ground with a purplish-red liquid mixed with blood.
Upon seeing Xiao Fei's arrival, they all displayed simple, honest smiles, appearing very rustic.
If not for the corpses hanging on the palisade, Xiao Fei would have almost believed them.
Xiao Fei ignored the farmers, who were merely low-level Qi Refining stage evil cultivators, and walked directly into the small town.
He had heard that Yingshan Country had a sparse population, but he hadn't expected it to be so sparse.
There were almost no ordinary mortals to be seen in the town; the lowest level were Qi Refining stage evil cultivators.
It seemed that for ordinary people to survive in Yingshan Country was truly not an easy task.
Xiao Fei walked along the street, observing the passing evil cultivators, who were either sinister, malevolent, or bizarre.
Just then, a cultivator, as he brushed past Xiao Fei, thrust a black bone knife towards his abdomen.
"Clang!"
A metallic impact sound echoed. The bone sword struck Xiao Fei's abdomen, but it couldn't even scratch his skin.
Xiao Fei grabbed the evil cultivator's wrist and slashed towards his neck with his sharp fingernails.
In an instant, a head flew high into the air.
However, this inexplicable attack did not end there. A large net descended from the sky, enveloping him.
Xiao Fei moved his feet, and the second-level formation within his green battle boots activated, his body turning into an afterimage and disappearing.
When he reappeared, he was behind an evil cultivator, and with a swift move of his hand, another head fell to the ground.
Xiao Fei walked all the way down this street, encountering various ingenious attacks, all of which he neutralized, killing twelve evil cultivators in succession.
From then on, no one dared to attack him.
When people looked at him, they all showed brilliant smiles, either rustic, fawning, or alluring...
In short, it made him feel the warmth of sunshine again, as if everyone was friendly and kind.
It was truly delightful here!
...
In Lu Country, a major event had occurred in Dan Xin Sect these past two days.
The day before yesterday, the Sect Master had gone out and encountered an attack by evil cultivators. Fortunately, the Sect Master was a good person and had great fortune, remaining unharmed.
Upon returning to Ning Cui Peak, the Sect Master immediately announced astonishing news.
The sect's alchemy genius, Xiao Fei, had colluded with evil cultivators, harmed fellow disciples, and attacked the Sect Master.
After the incident, this villain had fled with the evil cultivators.
At once, the entire Dan Xin Sect was filled with righteous indignation, with everyone demanding the punishment of the sect traitor Xiao Fei and the restoration of order to the sect.
However, the Sect Master was kind-hearted and cherished Xiao Fei's talent. Only after repeated pleas from the sect disciples did he finally decide to issue an order to apprehend Xiao Fei.
