Xiao Hei, whose injuries had not yet healed and whose spirit was low, trembled with fear upon seeing the Heavenly Demon Guard appear and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
"Xiao Hei pays his respects to Master!"
The Heavenly Demon Guard landed directly in front of everyone, seemingly in good spirits.
"Xiao Hei, you've done well!"
Xiao Hei looked bewildered, clearly not understanding what he had done well.
But he seemed to quickly connect the dots.
"Master, you... you placed a tracking restriction on me?"
"Hehehe... Xiao Hei, you've made a great contribution this time. From now on, you won't have to disguise yourself anymore. I will reward you handsomely when we return!
I placed a contingency on you, and I never expected it to actually work, helping me catch a big fish."
The Heavenly Demon Guard looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Fei before him with great satisfaction and pride.
To capture Xiao Fei and seize the Creation Jade Disk, the strong cultivators of the entire Immortal Realm had besieged the Blood Sea Holy Land some time ago.
The entire Blood Sea Holy Land was overturned, resulting in countless casualties. The Blood Sea Old Demon was besieged by several powerful cultivators, beaten until he spat blood and fled.
The Blood Sea Holy Land was completely destroyed. Its disciples were either killed, injured, captured, or escaped. From then on, the Blood Sea Holy Land was erased from the Immortal Realm.
The Blood Sea Old Demon was still hiding everywhere, being pursued by the strong cultivators of the entire Immortal Realm.
Just as the strong cultivators of the entire Immortal Realm were drawn to the Blood Sea Holy Land, he unexpectedly found Xiao Fei himself.
It could even be said that Xiao Fei had delivered himself.
"Good job, Xiao Hei! So it was you who led the enemy here!"
"We risked our lives to save you. Xiao Fei died twice in a row trying to save you."
"You actually betrayed us!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wudi and the others could not help but angrily accuse Xiao Hei.
"I didn't, I didn't know!"
Xiao Hei quickly shook his head and denied it.
But everyone did not quite believe him, after all, Xiao Hei was a watchdog raised by the Heavenly Demon Guard since childhood.
"We were all being overly sentimental!"
"So you and your master had planned this all along, waiting for us to foolishly jump into the trap."
Several of them shook their heads and sighed, clearly disappointed in Xiao Hei.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei also roughly guessed the Heavenly Demon Guard's scheme.
Such beings who had lived for countless years were cunning old foxes, trying to lure him out using Xiao Hei.
First, they would hang Xiao Hei in the plaza and torture him day and night, waiting for him to rescue him, and then they could capture him directly.
Xiao Fei had already anticipated this, and for this reason, he had gone to great lengths to divert the attention of the entire Immortal Realm to the Blood Sea Holy Land.
Only after the experts of the Qingqiu Holy Land had all gone to the Blood Sea Holy Land did he take advantage of the opportunity to rescue Xiao Hei.
It was just that the Heavenly Demon Guard had already placed a tracking restriction within Xiao Hei's body. Their strength was insufficient to see through the restriction, nor did they have the ability to break it.
As for whether Xiao Hei truly knew, it no longer mattered.
It was possible that Xiao Hei had framed him for the sake of his master.
"Master, I will accept whatever punishment you deem fit. Can you spare everyone else?"
Xiao Hei knew that everyone had been implicated because of him, and now they misunderstood him. His heart was filled with mixed emotions: grievance, guilt, and disappointment.
"Remember! You are just a watchdog I raised, you have no right to bargain with me!"
The Heavenly Demon Guard glanced at Xiao Hei. In his eyes, Xiao Hei was nothing more than a dog.
"You have made a great contribution this time, and I can allow you to redeem yourself and spare your life!"
"I can also give you an opportunity to earn merit. As long as you help me snatch the Creation Jade Disk, I will reward you with the 'Heavenly Dog Devouring Moon Art'."
The Heavenly Demon Guard intended to give Xiao Hei a little incentive. After all, Xiao Fei was too cunning, and he had successfully escaped several times before.
Although Xiao Hei's strength was not strong, he had extraordinary talent and was best at tracking. Keeping him around was still somewhat useful.
As the Heavenly Demon Guard spoke, a surge of法则之力 (Fa Ze Li Zhi - Law Power) swept out, instantly forming a法则领域 (Fa Ze Ling Yu - Law Domain) that enveloped everyone.
Xiao Fei suddenly felt the surroundings darken, trapped within the法则领域 (Fa Ze Ling Yu - Law Domain), unable to sense anything around him.
As the primary target of the Heavenly Demon Guard, he naturally received special attention. The法则之力 (Fa Ze Li Zhi - Law Power) continued to press in on him, making him unable to move.
"Planning to crush me with laws? You've picked the wrong opponent!"
If the Heavenly Demon Guard had chosen to use brute force and crush him with his formidable strength, Xiao Fei, who had just ascended to the True Immortal realm and whose cultivation was not yet stable, did not have enough immortal power within him to be a match.
However, if it came to a contest of laws, he feared no one.
Over the years, he had spent a considerable amount of time comprehending laws within the space.
Furthermore, he had consumed most of the Enlightenment Spring Water in the space.
Drinking the Enlightenment Spring Water once could directly lead to enlightenment, which was even better than comprehending for several years.
Xiao Fei mobilized the Five Elements Laws, and his body immediately emitted five colors of light – green, red, yellow, white, and black – pushing back the Heavenly Demon Guard's dark domain.
It was like lighting a torch in the darkness, illuminating the surrounding space.
Although the Five-Star Lotus Seed Immortal Artifact had self-destructed, he had not lost the Five Elements Laws he comprehended through the Five Elements Lotus Seeds.
The first to be illuminated by his light was Huang Feifei, and then as it spread outwards, he saw Xiao Hei again.
Xiao Fei hesitated for a moment, but still drew Xiao Hei into the domain he had opened.
"Young Master, Xiao Hei he..."
Huang Feifei spoke halfway, looking at Xiao Hei, clearly not trusting him.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei stopped speaking and was about to turn to walk into the darkness.
"Teacher Xiao Hei, come back. I believe you wouldn't frame me. If you wanted to harm me, you would have done so long ago!"
Xiao Fei directly used his laws to pull Xiao Hei back, and then continued to control the light of the Five Elements Laws to spread outwards, welcoming the others.
After being pulled back by Xiao Fei, Xiao Hei's eyes turned slightly red, and he stood beside Xiao Fei, no longer moving away.
However, Huang Feifei still did not fully trust him and stood beside Xiao Hei, keeping watch.
As Xiao Fei displayed the Five Elements Laws and expanded outwards, the Heavenly Demon Guard's expression grew increasingly grim.
He never expected that after cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years, he would be broken through his law domain by a junior. If this were to spread, it would be an absolute disgrace.
However, despite his unwillingness and the exertion of his power, his law domain was still being torn apart by Xiao Fei bit by bit.
Finally, Xiao Fei had gathered everyone together.
Fei Yu, who had been too busy talking, quickly returned the yellow gourd to Xiao Fei.
Ji Wudi also intended to return the gourd vine to Xiao Fei, but Xiao Fei refused.
With his current strength, he could only use one treasure at a time at most.
The Heavenly Demon Guard discovered that even with his full effort, his law domain could not truly trap Xiao Fei.
Even with immense unwillingness, he could only choose to act and capture Xiao Fei with overwhelming force.
At the same time, five-colored light surrounded Xiao Fei, protecting those around him. He raised a yellow gourd in his hand and confronted the Heavenly Demon Guard from a distance.
