Teasing

The few Cultivators did not sense any overly dense magical power fluctuations from Taowu.

Although they knew he was an Advanced Spirit Beast, Taowu had not yet revealed his true form.

The few Cultivators thought that by joining forces, they would surely be able to capture Taowu.

But they didn't expect that when they approached Taowu, they would suddenly discover that their spiritual power was like a stone sinking into the ocean, completely unusable.

The Magical Artifacts in their hands were like ordinary scrap metal, completely unable to leave even a scratch on the man before them.

When Xiao Feng told Taowu to take care of these guys, he restored a bit of Demonic Power to Taowu.

Although Taowu could deal with these Cultivators without Demonic Power, having it allowed him to finish them off faster.

For the remaining time, they naturally had to think about how to get more benefits from this Tianyi Sect Young Lord.

Xuanyuan Jian watched helplessly as the creature he thought was an Advanced Spirit Beast revealed its true form to be Taowu, standing there completely dumbfounded.

Having returned to his original form, Taowu vented all the frustration and anger he had accumulated over the past ten days onto these few Cultivators who had delivered themselves to his door.

With a few consecutive slaps, he knocked them all to the ground, shattering their Meridians; the scene was unbearable to look at.

Taowu loved watching others struggle in pain, and after seeing this, he picked up these few Cultivators and swallowed them in one gulp.

Taowu's stomach was a space of its own.

These pitiful people would slowly feel their lives fading away inside Taowu's stomach, eventually dying in despair.

This bloody and brutal scene made Xuanyuan Jian's face turn pale, his legs trembling, and without hesitation, he turned and ran.

Xiao Feng had already set up a Formation all around when Taowu made his move; no matter how Xuanyuan Jian ran, he could not escape the Formation.

Taowu turned his head to look at Xiao Feng, seemingly asking how to deal with Xuanyuan Jian.

Under the System's judgment, Xuanyuan Jian had also done many things to bully and insult others.

Although he hadn't directly killed anyone, the number of people who had died indirectly at Xuanyuan Jian's hands was not small.

Because Xiao Feng had told Taowu earlier to leave Xuanyuan Jian behind, Taowu did not lay a hand on him.

But he didn't understand, was Xiao Feng going to just let Xuanyuan Jian go?

"Giving someone hope only to have them feel despair—that is the most terrifying punishment."

After saying this calmly, Xiao Feng began to pursue in the direction Xuanyuan Jian had fled, unhurriedly.

Taowu transformed back into human form and followed by Xiao Feng's side.

Although the two of them were walking very slowly, the distance between them and Xuanyuan Jian was constantly shrinking.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Xuanyuan Jian was terrified that if he turned around, he would see those two demons, so he could only run forward frantically.

"Bang!" A large tree suddenly appeared, directly blocking Xuanyuan Jian's path.

Xuanyuan Jian couldn't stop in time and slammed headfirst into the tree trunk, leaving himself dizzy and disoriented.

"It hurts!" Xuanyuan Jian clutched his head, scrambling up from the ground in a daze.

A cold hand reached out from the side to support Xuanyuan Jian.

Xuanyuan Jian subconsciously braced himself, but then suddenly remembered something; his face turned pale, and he turned his head bit by bit to look to the side.

The person pulling him up was none other than Xiao Feng.

"Are you alright? Can you still run?"

Xiao Feng's face wore a gentle smile, but in Xuanyuan Jian's eyes, this smile was like the most terrifying thing in the world.

Xuanyuan Jian let out a scream, desperately pushed Xiao Feng away, and tried to continue running.

But no matter how he ran, the two behind him were like a cat catching a mouse, always maintaining a distance neither too far nor too close, as if they were deliberately teasing him.

Xuanyuan Jian lacked talent and had poor foundation, and because he only knew how to eat, drink, and play all day, neglecting to Cultivate, he didn't have much cultivation at all.

Coupled with extreme fear and tension, he soon couldn't support his exhausted body, slipped, and fell directly into a ditch.

No sooner had Xuanyuan Jian struggled out of the ditch in a sorry state than he looked up to see the two people standing above the ditch, looking down at him condescendingly, as if they were looking at an ant.

Xiao Feng waved his hand.

Xuanyuan Jian was immediately lifted out of the ditch by a surge of powerful magical power and thrown onto the grass nearby.

Xuanyuan Jian's legs went weak, and he knelt directly in front of Xiao Feng and Taowu.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been greedy. I don't want it anymore. I won't buy a Spirit Beast anymore. Please, let me go."

"As long as you let me go, I can give you whatever you want. I can give you all the treasures in my Storage Pouch." Xuanyuan Jian pleaded with a trembling voice.

Xiao Feng wore a playful smile on his face, looking steadily at Xuanyuan Jian.

Seeing that his pleas were useless, Xuanyuan Jian began to make threats, using his status to intimidate Xiao Feng, demanding that he be released.

Otherwise, if he died at Xiao Feng's hands, his father, the Tianyi Sect Master, would definitely not let Xiao Feng go, and Xiao Feng would surely die.

"If you dare to kill me, my father will absolutely not let you go. My father will hunt you to the ends of the earth and will definitely tear you into pieces!"

"He will make it so you can never be reincarnated and make your lives worse than death. As long as you let me go, I promise that what happened today will never be spoken of."

"I will absolutely not cause you any trouble. Otherwise, you will have to be buried with me, and your Sect will have to be buried with me too!"

Seeing that Xuanyuan Jian was clearly scared out of his wits, Xiao Feng sneered and said, "Who said I was going to kill you? Wouldn't it be better to imprison you and use the things you have to exchange for Magic Treasures with the Tianyi Sect Master? You are quite a valuable item!"

Xiao Feng's hand gently patted Xuanyuan Jian's face.

Xuanyuan Jian felt extremely humiliated.

Just as he was about to continue making threats, he saw Taowu beside him suddenly open his mouth wide, as if he were about to eat him.

Xuanyuan Jian was so scared he almost wet his pants, but the next second, he landed in a void of white space.

Taowu saw Xiao Feng wave his hand, and Xuanyuan Jian in front of him instantly disappeared, knowing that he had taken him away.

Taowu said very unhappily, "Why didn't you let me eat him?"

Xiao Feng rolled his eyes, "I already told you, I'm going to use him to exchange for money. If you eat him, who am I going to exchange him for money with?"

Taowu was unconvinced, "If you dare to use him to make a deal with that Sect Master, that Sect Master will definitely know it was you who captured his son! It would be better to just let me eat him!"

Xiao Feng ignored Taowu; in any case, Xuanyuan Jian was still useful to him.

"Alright, it's time for us to return to the Ming Cult." While Taowu was still protesting on the side, Xiao Feng patted Taowu's head and took him back.

...

On the other side, Sun Yuanjie finally arrived at the vicinity of the Mountain Forest where the Ancient Secret Realm was previously opened, searching for the traces of that strange man.

If it hadn't been for the delay caused by Xuanyuan Jian, Sun Yuanjie would surely have been able to find Xiao Feng's tracks the moment the Secret Realm closed and captured him directly.
