Xiao Feng knew that Taotie was suspicious by nature, and that if he deliberately exposed his weakness in front of him, Taotie would never take the bait.
Xiao Feng felt more at ease and began to recover his spiritual power.
Sitting ten steps away from Xiao Feng, Taotie cautiously observed Xiao Feng, who was resting with his eyes closed, and began to make plans in his mind.
"Could he really be weak? Is he just putting on an act? If I injure him now, can I leave this place?"
Thinking about this, Taotie felt a little restless.
As if guessing Taotie's thoughts, Xiao Feng opened his eyes and glanced at Taotie with a half-smile before slowly asking, "Is there something you want to say to me?"
Taotie subconsciously shook its head: "No, no, I have nothing to say to you."
Xiao Feng closed his eyes again.
Taotie wanted to slap himself a few times.
"I'd better stay here obediently, lest I fall for this guy's tricks again!"
Taotie sat there, feeling helpless.
After Xiao Feng's spiritual energy had recovered to a certain extent, someone suddenly spoke up from the side: "Although he is a demonic spirit, he is just a spirit body. Why can't you even defeat a spirit body?"
Taotie was furious that Xiao Feng had brought this up again, and it retorted, "How dare you talk to me like that! It's all because of you! Who told you to throw me out to fight him?"
Taotie felt that the places on his body that had been corroded by demonic energy were still throbbing with pain.
Xiao Feng actually complained about him.
"Didn't you agree to my request because you wanted freedom? You can only blame yourself for being greedy. You should be glad that this brat's cultivation level isn't very high, otherwise you might be dead here today!"
Hearing Xiao Feng's mockery, Taotie was furious.
He wanted to attack Xiao Feng, but he was worried that he was no match for Xiao Feng and would end up getting beaten up for nothing.
Taotie glared at Xiao Feng with resentment, then turned its head away.
Xiao Feng ignored Taotie and took out a communication talisman to pass on a message to Zhao Yuwei and the others.
Xiao Feng knew that when Zhao Yuwei woke up, she would definitely be very angry with him.
However, if Zhao Yuwei had been left here, the demonic spirit could only inflict superficial wounds on Taotie, and would not have been able to harm Xiao Feng. He would definitely have targeted Zhao Yuwei instead.
Xiao Feng only hoped that Zhao Yuwei's anger would lessen a little, so that he could have a chance to coax her.
However, after a short while, there was still no response from Zhao Yuwei.
Xiao Feng thought it was due to the formation here that the sound transmission talisman could not be used properly.
Xiao Feng took out his communication device again to try to contact Zhao Yuwei, but this time, he found that he couldn't reach her at all.
Xiao Feng tried to contact Long Gu and the others again, but still no one responded.
Gradually, Xiao Feng felt uneasy. Could it be that he made a mistake by letting Zhao Yuwei and the others go out?
Could it be that Zhao Yuwei and the others are in danger?
"Impossible! Long Gu and the others are extremely powerful. How could Senior Sister be in danger while she's with them!"
Xiao Feng's spiritual power had not fully recovered, but he couldn't afford to rest any longer and immediately rushed out.
Seeing that Xiao Feng hadn't taken it back into his spatial dimension and wasn't paying attention to it, Taotie decided to take this opportunity to escape.
Taotie could tell that Xiao Feng must have something urgent to do, or perhaps something had happened to the people with him.
Taotie shrank its size, trying its best to make Xiao Feng ignore it.
He succeeded.
After Xiao Feng ran out of the main gate, he never came back, nor did he put the Taotie back into that strange space.
Taotie was still feeling smug.
But soon he felt a tearing pain all over his body, a pain that seemed to reach the depths of his soul.
Taotie clearly saw that black lines began to appear on his body, and those black lines gradually turned his skin black.
The more acute perception of pain nearly made Taotie scream out loud.
He realized that the poison Xiao Feng had given him was now taking effect.
Xiao Feng, that despicable and shameless fellow, he deliberately wanted to torture himself!
Even though Taotie was furious.
But in order to avoid dying from the pain, he had no choice but to follow Xiao Feng in death.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng's presence is still felt in this underground ancient city.
After finding Xiao Feng, Taotie silently followed beside him.
Xiao Feng was extremely anxious. He had searched the entire underground ancient city but had not found Zhao Yuwei and the others.
Finally, Xiao Feng could only run quickly to the city gate, where he finally found some clues.
There are very hastily concealed traces of a fight here.
There were remnants of ice on the ground, and Xiao Feng could sense Zhao Yuwei's faint breath from them.
"They fought here! Could it be that they've already left?"
Xiao Feng scanned the entire underground ancient city with his divine sense again, and after confirming that he could not detect Zhao Yuwei and the others' presence, he had no choice but to leave.
Taotie followed Xiao Feng, cursing him in his heart, but dared not utter a single sarcastic remark on his face.
The moment Xiao Feng emerged from the lake, he successfully fell back into the Wind Shadow Secret Realm.
Xiao Feng discovered traces of the dragon bone attack again at the edge of the barrier.
Xiao Feng followed the trail, trying to find Zhao Yuwei and the others.
Unfortunately, very few traces have been left here.
Moreover, the area had been trampled by many people, and the remaining clues were simply insufficient to pinpoint Zhao Yuwei and the others' location.
"This is just an ordinary little secret realm, it's impossible for it to attract any beings with excessive strength. The only ones who would attack them are those assassins!"
Xiao Feng clenched his fists, his fingers cracking under the immense pressure.
Apart from the assassins, no one could possibly wipe them all out while they were protected by several powerful demonic beasts.
Only those assassins sent by Su Xueqing!
If Su Xueqing wanted to kill Zhao Yuwei, she would definitely tell the assassins about Zhao Yuwei's cultivation level, as well as the cultivation levels of the people around Zhao Yuwei.
Therefore, those assassins might be even more skilled than him.
Even if Dragon Bone and the others are demonic beasts, assassins of this level must have other methods to charm or deal with demonic beasts!
Zhao Yuwei and her team have likely already had the assassin captured!
Xiao Feng's guess was indeed correct.
After obtaining information about Xiao Feng and his companions' whereabouts from the Green Mountain Sect disciples, the assassins successfully located the treasure space.
The treasure hidden here could be easily discovered by them.
They, like Xiao Feng and the others, fell into the lake.
When Xiao Feng and his companions went to the ancient city below the lake, they did not conceal their presence.
Following the guidance of the tracking artifact, the assassins successfully located the underground ancient city.
They ran right into Zhao Yuwei and her group.
The two sides engaged in their first major battle at the city gate.
Zhao Yuwei and her group were worried that the battle would affect the barrier here, so they ultimately chose to lure the assassins out of the lake.
