Since successfully escaping the control of the old man of creation and completing the repair of the Creation Jade Disk, Xiao Fei had rarely gone out, hiding himself to cultivate diligently.
A while ago, Duowen Tower had sent him a message saying they had found some information about the Great Dao Tree and the Enlightenment Fruit, and asked him to visit.
Xiao Fei gladly went and made another deal with Duowen Tower.
However, the result of this transaction did not leave Xiao Fei very satisfied. The information obtained was limited and did not help him much, making the trip seem like a waste of time.
At this moment, Xiao Fei sat in his hidden cave dwelling, repeatedly examining the jade slip given by Duowen Tower.
He felt that this transaction was a bit strange. With Duowen Tower's intelligence capabilities over the years, they shouldn't have sold him such valueless information.
There must be a reason he didn't know.
However, after examining it for a long time, he couldn't find anything unusual, so he casually tossed the jade slip into his spatial dimension.
Now that the Creation Jade Disk was completely under Xiao Fei's control, as soon as the jade slip entered the dimension, he immediately discovered something abnormal.
A speck of light, as small as dust, slowly flew out from the jade slip.
Xiao Fei reached out, and this speck of light landed on his fingertip.
This must be a tracking marker.
He had been targeted.
He still didn't know who was behind it or what their intentions were.
Perhaps Duowen Tower had become greedy for his wealth and wanted to kill him for his possessions.
If that were the case, Xiao Fei wouldn't be too concerned, as he wasn't easily bullied and would surely make his opponents regret coming.
But besides Duowen Tower, he also had the old man of creation, his lifelong nemesis.
If it was the old man of creation coming for him, he would have to be cautious.
With this thought, he didn't immediately destroy the speck of light but sent it back into the jade slip.
Xiao Fei then placed the jade slip, along with all items related to Duowen Tower, in his cave dwelling.
He himself had already entered the Creation Jade Disk.
The Creation Jade Disk transformed into a speck of dust, drifting in the void, floating out of the cave dwelling and carried afar by the air currents.
No matter who the opponent was, he would first employ the stratagem of "the cicada shedding its shell," hide nearby to observe, and then decide whether to fight or flee.
When the Creation Jade Disk drifted thousands of miles away from the cave dwelling, Xiao Fei began to sense something abnormal.
He saw several Taiyi Golden Immortals, seemingly intentionally and unintentionally, slowly approaching the direction of his hidden cave dwelling.
Good heavens, they indeed had a significant background.
However, what he saw so far were only Taiyi Golden Immortals. He didn't know if there were any Grand Unity Golden Immortals lurking behind them, so Xiao Fei dared not act rashly.
He simply let the Creation Jade Disk drift with the breeze, carried by the currents, towards the distance.
After a while longer, Xiao Fei also sensed a surging, violent aura within the Creation Jade Disk.
The place where this aura originated was his previous cave dwelling. It seemed to be at least a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Moreover, Xiao Fei felt that this aura seemed somewhat familiar. It wasn't the old man of creation, but he must have encountered it before.
Since being brought to this immortal realm by the old man of creation, all the Grand Unity Golden Immortals he had encountered were enemies of the old man of creation.
At this point, Xiao Fei quickly figured out the cause and effect.
Based on the information he knew, a large group of Grand Unity Golden Immortals were hunting the old man of creation.
And the last time he deliberately provoked the old man of creation, he had left behind a branch of the Great Dao Tree.
It seemed he had brought trouble upon himself this time.
The Great Dao Tree in his possession had also attracted the enemies of the old man of creation.
However, there was no other way in that situation. If he hadn't thrown out some bait, he wouldn't have been able to escape, and he wouldn't have his freedom today.
Xiao Fei hid within the Creation Jade Disk, not daring to reveal any aura, nor daring to control the Creation Jade Disk to accelerate his flight.
In the face of experts at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level, even the slightest leakage of aura would be detected.
Xiao Fei could only let the gentle breeze carry the Creation Jade Disk, transformed into dust, forward.
However, the wind today was not strong, and the speed was not fast. It felt like he had drifted for a long time before covering only a hundred miles.
This distance was not far for a Golden Immortal; it could be reached with a single thought.
Gradually, Xiao Fei felt the wind in the air getting stronger and stronger, and his speed increased significantly.
No, why was the wind blowing in the opposite direction?
Xiao Fei felt that this strong wind was actually blowing him towards the direction of his hidden cave dwelling.
Fearing that any leakage of aura would be discovered by the Grand Unity Golden Immortals, he dared not easily control the Creation Jade Disk. For now, he could only adapt to the situation and act as circumstances dictated.
Xiao Fei did not know that outside the encirclement set up by the Nine-Headed Serpent.
Two green snakes were blowing a strong wind at a swarm of insects, pushing all these insects towards the center of the encirclement.
"They are just some insects, do we really need to be so serious about this?"
"What do you know? Since the master requires that not a single mosquito be let go, we cannot let any speck of dust escape.
In case the opponent escapes the encirclement in the future, we will at least not be held responsible."
"With the inescapable net we've set up, does the opponent still have a chance to escape?"
"The weather is unpredictable..."
Under the desperate efforts of these two green snakes, the dust that the Creation Jade Disk had transformed into drifted back near the cave dwelling where he had previously hidden.
At this point, the Nine-Headed Serpent could be seen standing at the entrance of his cave dwelling, with its nine heads looking in different directions.
Nine long, forked tongues extended into the air, stirring and sensing. He was also an expert tracker, his tongues could sense the aura of prey tens of thousands of miles away from the air.
The nine tongues moved like lightning, quick and agile, swooshing through the air. Several times they passed near the Creation Jade Disk, but fortunately, they were not discovered.
Just as Xiao Fei was feeling fortunate, a sudden gust of demonic wind blew, directly sweeping the dust that the Creation Jade Disk had transformed into, flying towards the Nine-Headed Serpent's mouth.
Coincidentally, it landed precisely on the Nine-Headed Serpent's tongue.
The Nine-Headed Serpent, which was extending its tongue to probe everywhere, suddenly retracted it, as if it had coiled something from the void and was about to pull it into its mouth.
"Hahaha... I've finally found you, where do you think you can run now!"
"Demonic creature! Quickly reveal your true form!"
Clearly, the Nine-Headed Serpent had no self-awareness, actually calling a human artifact spirit a demonic creature at this moment.
At this moment, in the center of the tongue it had coiled, a speck of dust slowly enlarged, finally transforming into the appearance of the Creation Jade Disk.
When the Nine-Headed Serpent saw the Creation Jade Disk reveal itself, its heart was filled with excitement, even the tip of its tail trembled.
This was the Creation Jade Disk, the artifact for which the old man of creation was named.
Moreover, within the world of the jade disk, there was a Great Dao Tree.
The treasure he had longed for day and night had fallen onto his tongue like this. The happiness came too suddenly.
In addition to the Great Dao Tree, he had also obtained the Creation Jade Disk.
Just as the Nine-Headed Serpent was enveloped in a sense of happiness, a beam of light shot out from the Creation Jade Disk.
Wherever this beam of light reached, the flesh and blood on its tongue were dissolved, and even its Great Dao could not defend against it.
In an instant, a sharp pain struck, and the Nine-Headed Serpent's slender tongue was severed.
"Ah!"
A scream shook the heavens and the earth. The Nine-Headed Serpent had only nine tongues, and Xiao Fei had cut off one.
