The cultivators did not sense any particularly strong magical energy fluctuations emanating from the Taotie.
Despite knowing that he was a high-level spirit beast, Taotie never revealed his true form.
The cultivators thought that if they joined forces, they would surely be able to capture the Taotie.
However, when they got close to the Taotie, they suddenly found that their spiritual power had vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, and they could no longer use it.
The magical artifacts in their hands were like ordinary scrap metal, unable to scratch the man in front of them.
When Xiao Feng had Taotie deal with these guys, he restored some of Taotie's demonic power.
Although Taotie could deal with these cultivators without relying on demonic power, he could finish them off much faster with demonic power.
With the remaining time, they naturally had to think about how they could get more benefits from this young master of the Tianyi Sect.
Xuanyuan Jian stared in disbelief as the high-level spirit beast he thought he possessed turned out to be a Taotie, completely dumbfounded.
Once Taotie returned to its original form, it vented all the frustration and anger it had accumulated over the past ten days on these few cultivators who had come to its doorstep.
With several slaps, they were all knocked to the ground, their meridians severed, and the scene was horrific.
Taotie loved to see others struggle in pain, and upon seeing this scene, it picked up the cultivators and swallowed them whole.
The Taotie's belly is a space of its own.
These poor souls will slowly feel their lives slipping away inside the Taotie's belly, and finally die in despair.
This bloody and brutal scene made Xuan Yuanjian's face turn pale and his legs tremble. Without hesitation, he turned and ran.
Xiao Feng had already set up formations everywhere when Taotie made its move, so no matter how Xuanyuan Jian ran, he couldn't escape his formations.
Taotie turned to look at Xiao Feng, seemingly asking him how to deal with Xuan Yuanjian.
According to the system's assessment, Xuanyuan Jian also committed many acts of bullying and insulting others.
Although he didn't directly kill anyone, quite a few people died indirectly at Xuanyuan Jian's hands.
Because Xiao Feng had previously told Taotie to keep Xuanyuan Jian alive, Taotie did not take any action against Xuanyuan Jian.
But he didn't understand, was Xiao Feng going to release Xuanyuan Jian directly?
"The most terrible punishment is to give people hope and then make them feel despair."
After saying this casually, Xiao Feng calmly chased after Xuan Yuanjian in the direction he had fled.
Taotie transformed back into human form and stayed by Xiao Feng's side.
The two walked very slowly, yet the distance between them and Xuanyuan Jian kept shrinking.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Xuanyuan Jian was terrified that he would see the two demons if he turned around, so he could only run forward frantically.
"Bang!" A large tree suddenly appeared, blocking Xuanyuan Jian's path.
Xuanyuan Jian couldn't stop in time and crashed headfirst into a tree trunk, making him dizzy and disoriented.
"Ouch!" Xuan Yuanjian clutched his head, dizzy and disoriented, as he scrambled to his feet.
A cold hand reached out from the side to help Xuanyuan Jian up.
Xuanyuan Jian instinctively braced himself, but then suddenly remembered something, and his face turned pale. He slowly turned his head to look to the side.
The person who pulled him up was none other than Xiao Feng.
"Are you alright? Can you still run?"
Xiao Feng wore a gentle smile, but to Xuan Yuanjian, that smile seemed like the most terrifying thing in the world.
Xuanyuan Jian let out a scream, desperately pushed Xiao Feng away, and tried to continue his escape.
No matter how fast he ran, the two people behind him were like cats playing with mice, always keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far from him, as if they were deliberately teasing him.
Xuanyuan Jian was not particularly talented, had poor physique, and because he spent his days eating, drinking, and having fun, he was too tired to cultivate and had very little cultivation.
Coupled with extreme fear and tension, he quickly lost his strength and slipped, falling directly into a ditch.
Xuanyuan Jian had just struggled to his feet from the ditch when he looked up and saw two people standing above it, looking down at him as if he were an ant.
Xiao Feng waved his hand.
Xuanyuan Jian was pulled out of the ditch by a surge of powerful magic and thrown onto the grass beside him.
Xuanyuan Jian's legs went weak, and he knelt directly in front of Xiao Feng and Taotie.
"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been greedy. I don't want it anymore. I won't buy the spirit beast. Please, please let me go."
"If you let me go, I'll give you anything you want. I can give you all the treasures in my storage bag," Xuan Yuanjian pleaded, his voice trembling.
Xiao Feng stared intently at Xuan Yuanjian with a mocking smile on his face.
Seeing that his pleas for mercy were useless, Xuanyuan Jian started making threats, using his own status to force Xiao Feng to release him.
Otherwise, if he were to die at the hands of Xiao Feng, his father, the Sect Master of Tianyi Sect, would certainly not let Xiao Feng off the hook, and Xiao Feng would be doomed.
"If you dare to kill me, my father will never let you get away with it. He will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and tear you to pieces!"
"I will make you suffer for eternity, I will make you wish you were dead. As long as you let me go, I promise I will never tell anyone about what happened today."
"I will absolutely not cause you any trouble, otherwise you will all be buried with me, and your sects will be buried with me too!"
Seeing that Xuan Yuanjian was clearly terrified, Xiao Feng sneered and said directly, "Who said I was going to kill you? Wouldn't it be better to imprison you and use your possessions to exchange for magic treasures with the Tianyi Sect Master? You're a valuable item!"
Xiao Feng gently patted Xuan Yuanjian's face with the back of his hand.
Xuanyuan Jian felt extremely humiliated.
Just as he was about to continue his harsh words, he saw the Taotie next to him suddenly open its mouth wide, as if it wanted to eat him up.
Xuanyuan Jian was so frightened he almost wet his pants, but the next second, he found himself in a void of white space.
When Taotie saw Xiao Feng wave his hand and Xuan Yuanjian instantly disappear, it knew that he had taken him away.
The Taotie said, quite annoyed, "Why won't you let me eat him?"
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes: "I already said I wanted to use him to exchange for money. If you eat him, who am I supposed to exchange for money with?"
Taotie retorted, "If you dare to use him to make a deal with that sect leader, he'll definitely know you kidnapped his son! I might as well let him eat me!"
Xiao Feng ignored Taotie, since Xuanyuan Jian was still useful to him anyway.
"Alright, we should go back to the Ming Cult." Taotie was still protesting, so Xiao Feng patted Taotie on the head and led him back.
...
Meanwhile, Sun Yuanjie finally arrived near the mountains where the ancient secret realm had been opened, searching for traces of the stranger.
If it weren't for Xuan Yuanjian's delay, Sun Yuanjie would definitely have been able to find Xiao Feng's whereabouts the moment the secret realm closed and capture him directly.
