The person who arrived was Bai Yunfei. Initially, upon receiving the news, he sent a message to Ling Mo Xie but did not know when Ling Mo Xie would set off for the Demon Tomb. It was only later, after receiving more information about the impending changes at the Demon Tomb, that he hurriedly followed.
Xu Qingfeng and the others exchanged glances upon hearing Bai Yunfei's words. They still had some doubts, but at this moment, the Small Space was collapsing, leaving them with no choice but to follow Bai Yunfei. They nodded in agreement, signaling him to lead the way.
Bai Yunfei did not walk far with the group before reaching a relatively open area. He said, "Next, I will use a treasure to open a spatial passage for you to escape. There is only one chance, so you must keep up. The passage will only exist for half a minute."
"Just go ahead and open it; we understand," Daoist Sect Leader nodded and replied to Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei glanced at the others and saw that they all looked as if they understood. He said no more and turned around to take out a smooth, milky-white pearl from his Storage Ring. He infused it with a bit of Spiritual Energy, and the pearl immediately flew out on its own, creating a beam of light that pierced through the shattered sky, revealing a passage.
This was a treasure left behind by a predecessor of the Illusionary Void Sect, capable of opening a passage back to the Cultivation World from any space. It was a significant aid during thefts.
The Cultivation World connects various spaces, some naturally occurring and others artificially created. Among them, some are well-structured and have become small worlds with indigenous inhabitants. This was also a source of entertainment for the predecessors of the Illusionary Void Sect.
Now, only a few of these spatial-opening treasures remained from the predecessors; their crafting methods had been lost to time. Moreover, they were one-time-use items—using one meant losing one. If it weren't for the fact that they were all friends of Ling Mo Xie and that Bai Yunfei also needed to leave, he would have been reluctant to use it!
Daoist Sect Leader sighed as he looked at the opened passage. The Taoist Sect has a long history, and while there are treasures capable of opening spatial passages, they are precious and not often used, which is why they have remained in the Taoist Sect's treasure vault. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed someone else to come save them this time.
In this life-and-death moment, everyone moved quickly and was almost entering the passage when they noticed that the Chiling Clan members who had followed them did not seem inclined to enter.
"What are you waiting for? This small world is about to collapse! If you don't leave now, you won't be able to!" Xu Qingfeng turned around and said to Chiling Clan Elder.
Chiling Clan Elder simply shook his head and replied to Xu Qingfeng, "You all go ahead; we won't be leaving. We were born here; we will die here!" After saying this, he waved his hand at Xu Qingfeng, urging them to leave quickly.
"This..." Xu Qingfeng was taken aback; he did not expect Chiling Clan Elder to say such things. Cang Qi would do anything to escape this place while Chiling Clan was unwilling to leave even in death.
"Let's go!" Daoist Sect Leader also turned around to look and finally sighed softly before speaking to Xu Qingfeng.
Xu Qingfeng glanced at the Daoist Sect Leader and then at the Chiling Clan Elder, ultimately unsure of what to say. With a sigh, he turned and entered the passage.
At that moment, the Evil Ridge Sect Leader finally recovered from his madness. Upon noticing that Xu Qingfeng and the others had all entered the passage, his expression changed, and he shouted fiercely, "You think you can leave? Stay here to accompany me in death!"
As he spoke, he activated his Spiritual Energy, channeling all of it into a long dragon of Black Qi that surged toward the passage.
The Daoist Sect Leader and Bai Yunfei were startled by the Evil Ridge Sect Leader's attack. They had already entered the passage but had not yet returned to the Cultivation World.
The spatial passage was fragile; if struck by the Evil Ridge Sect Leader's attack, it would surely shatter. If that happened, they would have no chance of survival, falling into an endless void, instantly dissolving into nothingness with no chance of reincarnation—more complete than simply losing their souls.
"Go!" At that moment, the Daoist Sect Leader and the others suddenly heard a determined shout. Turning around, they saw the Chiling Clan Elder leading a group of surviving Chiling Clan members charging directly toward the Evil Ridge Sect Leader's attack.
Just then, they were sent back to the Cultivation World through the passage. The last scene before them was the clash between the Chiling Clan members and the Evil Ridge Sect Leader's attack.
Upon returning to the Cultivation World, they remained immersed in the scene for a long time before finally sighing, "Alas! Just a fleeting encounter; how could it come to this?"
"We should quickly see if Ling Mo Xie has subdued the Crystal Key," said the Daoist Sect Leader, who was accustomed to life and death and was the first to regain his composure. This should be their current priority.
"Where is this?" Xu Qingfeng looked around at his surroundings and asked Bai Yunfei in confusion.
Bai Yunfei looked around but could only shrug helplessly and say, "I don't know either. Although I can confirm it's the Cultivation World, I have no idea where exactly we are; it's random."
The group fell silent for a moment, exchanging glances with Bai Yunfei before turning their attention to the Daoist Sect Leader.
The Daoist Sect Leader had seen much in his time; surely he would know where they were.
"Who would have thought, even the Daoist Sect Leader just shrugged and said, 'It seems I haven't been here before, but... it resembles the legendary Starlit Sea.'"
"Starlit Sea? What kind of place is that? This is clearly a desert!" Xu Qingfeng said, confused.
Luo Yan nodded and replied, "I also think it looks like the Starlit Sea. If that's the case, we might not be able to get out for a while."
"What are you all talking about? Can someone explain?" It seemed that only Xu Qingfeng was clueless, helplessly addressing the others.
Luo Yan nodded again, "The Starlit Sea is located in the territory of the Evil Path; it's a vast desert dotted with oases, as numerous as the stars. Moreover, the oases here almost all have strange trees that emit light at night, which is why it's called the Starlit Sea."
"Since that's the case, it shouldn't be too dangerous, right? Why do you say we might not be able to get out for a while?" Xu Qingfeng still asked, puzzled.
Luo Yan smiled wryly and said, "There isn't much danger; it's nice to visit as a scenic spot. However, the Starlit Sea is indeed as vast as an ocean filled with stars, and the oases are quite similar, making it easy to get lost."
"Even at my full flying speed, it would probably take a day to fly out, and I can't afford to get lost," Daoist Sect Leader nodded and added.
Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but be astonished; he knew he couldn't keep up with Daoist Sect Leader's speed. Does that mean they would need more time to get out?
"Enough talk; we should hurry to find the boss. He might be in some danger," Bai Yunfei said after a moment of silence.
This statement left everyone puzzled. How could there be danger? Ling Mo Xie had the Heavenly Crystal Key, which might attract others' covetousness—that much was true—but Ling Mo Xie's cultivation level was among the top in today's Cultivation World. Just avoiding those people shouldn't be a problem. Moreover, if he could truly master the Heavenly Crystal Key and control the Demon Tomb to obtain everything left by the Heavenly Demon Sect, even Daoist Sect Leader wouldn't dare claim victory over him.
Seeing the confused expressions on their faces, Bai Yunfei couldn't explain further; he simply said, "I don't know what this danger specifically is, but I can assure you it comes from the Evil Path."
"That can't be possible. The Evil Ridge Sect Leader is dead now; the ruler of the Evil Path is the Evil Ridge Sect Saintess. How could Ling Mo Xie still face danger from the Evil Path?" Luo Yan and Daoist Sect Leader were skeptical and questioned him.
Bai Yunfei heard the words of the two and seemed to recall something, nodding knowingly as he murmured, "Coming from afar, no wonder Master said such nonsensical things to me back then."
Xu Qingfeng and the others listened to his sudden muttering, even more puzzled.
Bai Yunfei looked up at them and explained, "Perhaps this danger comes from the Evil Ridge Sect Saintess!"
"That's the least likely thing. The Evil Ridge Sect Saintess is... and for so many years, it has been the existence of the Evil Path Saintess that prevented the Evil Ridge Sect Leader from dealing with Ling Mo Xie, allowing him to survive. The Evil Ridge Sect Saintess is the least likely person to harm Ling Mo Xie!" Daoist Sect Leader said skeptically, instead beginning to doubt Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei seemed to be speaking to himself, as if explaining to Daoist Sect Leader: "When Master came to find me and told me that Ling Mo Xie would be in danger, he also said something so nonsensical. Now, the Evil Path Saintess is not a Saintess!"
"At that time, I was still confused and couldn't grasp what was going on. What does 'not a Saintess' mean? A Saintess is just a Saintess! Now connecting this matter together, Master said this after telling me that Ling Mo Xie would be in danger. Now that the Evil Path Saintess is in power, if it's true..."
Xu Qingfeng and the others frowned, still somewhat unclear. Xu Qingfeng even spoke unkindly to Bai Yunfei, saying, "What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to stir up trouble between good and evil?"
Bai Yunfei glared at him: "I only care about my boss's life or death. The matters of good and evil have nothing to do with me. My Illusionary Void Sect walks both paths; we have always looked down upon interfering in your good and evil affairs!"
"You are from the Illusionary Void Sect?" Daoist Sect Leader asked unexpectedly upon hearing Bai Yunfei's words, his gaze no longer filled with suspicion.
"What’s there to deceive you about? I, Bai Yunfei, am true to my name; I am indeed from the Illusionary Void Sect!" Bai Yunfei said firmly with a disdainful expression.
