Back to the tribe

The man did not linger for long.

After failing to find Xiao Feng, he left behind a threatening remark toward Xiao Feng and turned to leave, presumably to hunt for other prey.

Although in the vision, the man's figure vanished just as quickly as he had arrived.

Yet, Xiao Feng and Wu Xia still dared not easily emerge from the System space.

Xiao Feng communicated with the System, asking it to try and monitor whether the Mysterious Great Demon showed any signs of returning.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the System confirmed that the guy would not be returning.

Moreover, that guy had not left any of his Demonic Power behind, so Xiao Feng and his companions could safely emerge from the System space.

Having received the System's assurance, Xiao Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he brought Wu Xia out of the System space.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with lingering fear.

Xiao Feng had a premonition that this Mysterious Great Demon, who had been accidentally released from the Seal, would very likely disrupt the situation across the entire Demon Emperor Secret Realm.

Previously, Xiao Feng had been leisurely and in no hurry to find Wuchi.

But that guy had been trapped by the Seal for so long; if he wanted to replenish his strength, he would definitely target the Yao Race.

And he would target the strongest members of the Yao Race.

Weren't the strongest ones led by Wuchi and Baize?

Xiao Feng heard from Wu Xia that there were ways for the Yao Race to steal each other's Bloodline power.

If they could devour the other party's Demonic Power and Bloodline, it would be possible.

Xiao Feng dared not gamble; he had to find Wuchi and Baize as soon as possible to inform them of this matter.

"We must return to your tribe immediately!" Xiao Feng looked at Wu Xia beside him.

Xiao Feng's expression was grave. Wu Xia naturally understood the severity of the situation; she nodded immediately, and the two flew rapidly back toward the White Wolf Tribe.

Upon arriving at the valley where the White Wolf Tribe was located, Wu Xia saw that the valley was still filled with birdsong, fragrant flowers, and a harmonious atmosphere, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Heaven knows how worried she had been that the Mysterious Great Demon would find these nearby Yao Race tribe settlements. Fortunately, the other party had not yet arrived.

The heavy stone hanging in Wu Xia's heart finally landed halfway.

She did not linger at all, immediately calling upon the other white wolves in the tribe to leave with them as soon as possible.

The Mysterious Great Demon from earlier was too powerful, and the place where he had broken free from the Seal was not far from them.

If he happened to find this place, the white wolves of her tribe would undoubtedly perish.

Wu Xia could not bear to see her clansmen lose their lives in vain.

It wasn't just their White Wolf Tribe; Wu Xia also went to notify other Yao Race groups in the vicinity of the White Wolf Tribe, telling them all to find a way to leave this place quickly.

However, in the end, only a few scattered Yao Race members were willing to believe Xiao Feng and Wu Xia, and follow Xiao Feng away from this place.

Xiao Feng had originally thought they didn't believe Wu Xia's words.

Xiao Feng even personally went to the settlements of these Yao Race groups to inform his remaining subordinates about the situation they had discovered.

But the meaning of those Yao Race members was that although they acknowledged Xiao Feng as their big brother, they did not want to abandon their own territory just to follow him.

The few Yao Race members who followed Xiao Feng were either not very strong or had small populations in their groups.

As for the rest, Xiao Feng could also see their helplessness and hesitation.

Xiao Feng did not want to waste too much time here.

He could only give a few words of advice to the Yao Race members who stayed behind, and then left the place with the White Wolf Tribe and other Yao Beasts who were willing to follow them.

To be safe, they did not stop along the way and traveled continuously at maximum speed for several days.

Until Xiao Feng confirmed with the System that there was absolutely no aura left behind by the Mysterious Great Demon along their route.

The Mysterious Great Demon was not in their vicinity either, so Xiao Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave permission for all the Yao Beasts to stop and rest.

Among the groups that followed Xiao Feng, there were naturally some newborn cubs and older individuals.

After traveling for such a long time, they were already exhausted.

Even if Xiao Feng hadn't said to stop, the leaders of the several tribes would have requested Xiao Feng to find a safe place to rest properly.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng hadn't just kept pushing them forward relentlessly.

Looking at the numerous Yao Beasts with weary expressions, Xiao Feng was grateful for their trust in him and felt even more responsible for them.

Xiao Feng specially prepared a very sumptuous meal.

It was both to let them fill their stomachs and replenish their strength, and to encourage everyone to continue the journey ahead.

Xiao Feng rarely cooked, so this rare, sumptuous meal made all the Yao Beasts eat very happily and to their heart's content.

Zhao Yuwei followed by Xiao Feng's side, seeing the lingering worry on his face that he couldn't dispel.

"Soldiers come, generals block; water comes, earth covers. Since we have already left that place, presumably we won't be discovered by that Mysterious Great Demon."

Xiao Feng turned to look at Zhao Yuwei and spoke with some self-reproach: "If it weren't for my curiosity insisting on going over to see what was happening, perhaps this wouldn't have..."

Zhao Yuwei did not wait for Xiao Feng to finish; she immediately interrupted him and spoke seriously: "Do not take this responsibility upon yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you; having vigilance is the right thing to do!"

Xiao Feng looked up at Zhao Yuwei, wanting to say something but stopping, unsure of where to begin.

"I know what you are worried about. Is there a possibility that even if you hadn't gone to check, and even if the Tianyi Sect Master hadn't accidentally fallen down, he would still have found a way to obtain a body and escape from the prison that held him?"

"Now that you know in advance, we are still able to leave that place early. If he had crawled out of the place where he was sealed silently..."

"The first to suffer would naturally be those Yao Beast tribes closest to his place of confinement; by then, we wouldn't even be able to run if we wanted to."

It must be said that Zhao Yuwei's words did indeed reduce the guilt and self-reproach in Xiao Feng's heart a little.

In truth, he felt that Zhao Yuwei would have to endure hardship and exhaustion following him again.

Xiao Feng felt even more that he had let Zhao Yuwei down.

It had been hard to find a place where they could rest in peace for a while, with nice scenery and these cute little wolf Yao creatures attending to them.

Now they had to leave their home, fleeing through the Secret Realm; Xiao Feng just felt that Zhao Yuwei would have to suffer hardship again.

Zhao Yuwei saw the worry and guilt in Xiao Feng's eyes and immediately leaned on his shoulder.

"As long as I can be with you, even if it means fleeing to the ends of the earth, I am willing."

The two leaned their heads together sweetly, quietly enjoying this hard-won, heartwarming moment.

However, some scene-spoiling things arrived at such an inopportune moment.

Xiao Feng sensed the Seal he had previously left on his subordinate.

The aura of the subordinate who had been sealed was rapidly weakening. After sensing this, Xiao Feng immediately projected the scene from his subordinate's location.

It was the Mysterious Great Demon!
