Shi Feiyang returned from Chuitian Palace to the bottom of the sea, summoned his Water Clan subordinates, but found that many were missing, especially the Qingcheng Snake Demon, Bai Lingzi, who was gone. Only upon inquiry did he learn that a lot had happened during the time he was in closed-door cultivation.

Geng Kun needed to collect poison for crafting Magical Treasures, so he gathered all the poisonous Demons and ordered them to surrender their inner cores. If anyone resisted, they were killed on the spot!

Bai Lingzi was reluctant to part with his own inner core and tried to argue. He had barely spoken two sentences when Geng Kun shot a Feathered Arrow that exploded him into pieces, forcibly took the inner core, and even sliced up the snake gall to snack on.

The remaining Demons had no choice but to offer up their inner cores to save their own lives.

In fact, Geng Kun had done this many times, because his lifespan was long, and there were usually twenty or thirty years between each occurrence. Since Demons suffered heavy losses and continuously, old ones died, and new ones joined in, most were not very aware of this.

Those Demons who had been here longer mostly took delight in others' misfortune. The ones who joined in the last twenty or so years felt deep sorrow, like a rabbit mourns a fox, and their hearts trembled with fear, many secretly fled.

Shi Feiyang sighed silently in his heart, finally understanding what Geng Peng meant when he said Geng Kun was cold-hearted towards his disciples. It turned out he saw his disciples as pigs, ready to be slaughtered when needed!

Originally, Shi Feiyang thought Geng Kun treated him fairly well and living in Carefree Palace was comfortable. He harbored long-term plans to collaborate with Geng Kun to gather foreign Demons overseas to create a religious sect together. He thought that even if Geng Kun had some flaws in his nature, sincere interactions and his help over time would slowly influence him to cultivate his temperament and eventually become a grandmaster. Now, it seemed he wasn't a suitable partner, and future plans needed reconsidering.

He said nothing, for speaking was useless. He let the Demons disperse on their own, went back to his cave to practice newly learned Spells, and to refine the Merfolk Treasure Bag.

Shi Feiyang had always liked the Iron Umbrella held by Iron Umbrella Taoist since he read about it in his early years. He planned to help Geng Kun finish this task, take the opportunity to obtain the umbrella, and then set off for Central Earth.

Three days flashed by quickly, and he returned to Chuitian Palace. Everyone was ready to depart, including Su Nanyi, Yuan Ming, and Xiang Ji, the former disciple of Wu Qiming, the Divine Wind Envoy. Geng Kun transmitted different Spells to each one and assigned different tasks. Shi Feiyang and Xiang Ji, one human and one dragon, set off from Roc Bay ahead of the others.

These past days, Xiang Ji had won Geng Kun's trust through various acts of ingratiation. He both scorned and resented Shi Feiyang, but his surface behavior was excessively flattering, heaping praise, "Brother Shi, your mana is mighty, your Divine Skills vast. I have never seen such a powerful dragon as you. Truly, I had the good fortune to see a True Dragon years ago, about a hundred zhang in length, but when it comes to Spells and Divine Skills, it doesn't come close to you. The power of its Dragon Ball is not even half as potent as your inner core..."

Shi Feiyang remained silent, silently urging his cloud forward.

Xiang Ji didn't feel awkward at all. He sighed tentatively, "I have cultivated the Mysterious Sect Spirit Light Escape Technique for many years, and I was considered the best among my fellow disciples, enough that Wu Qiming awarded me the title of Divine Wind Envoy. I often took pride in this, but meeting you today, Brother Shi, I realize even if I practiced for another hundred years, I couldn't compare to you..."

Shi Feiyang turned his dragon head to look at him. "It must be that you're not practicing it correctly. Why don't you teach me your Spirit Light Escape Technique? I'll study it, improve it, and then teach you the improved version. Perhaps then, you'll be quicker."

Xiang Ji was caught off guard by his words. He was merely trying to compliment Shi Feiyang's speed in riding the clouds and fog, yet Shi Feiyang wanted to learn his Escape Technique.

He thought to himself: After observing for so many days, the most powerful in Roc Bay was naturally Geng Kun, the second-in-command was the Bird Leader Su Nanyi, and this Black Dragon ranked third. Since he had already offered his Spirit Light Escape Technique to Geng Kun and Su Nanyi, teaching it to this Black Dragon was not a big deal. As long as he could please all three, his days in Roc Bay would be very comfortable.

He even harbored a wild wish, that since Geng Kun had flying animals, walking animals, and the Water Clan but no humans under his command, he wanted to propose the idea of recruiting more human disciples to Geng Kun, and he would lead them later. Humans naturally had advantages, and as long as he managed it well, surpassing the walking animals and then the Water Clan would be no problem at all, even if Geng Kun took new favorites later on, surpassing Su Nanyi to become the second in command at Roc Bay and becoming the de facto Vice Sect Leader would not be out of the question.

Shi Feiyang only wanted him to shut up, so he had asked him to teach the Spiritual Light Escape Technique, but who knew his heart was so full of drama? He agreed after only thinking for half a minute, and then cheerfully started to explain the practice of the Spiritual Light Escape Technique to Shi Feiyang.

This Spiritual Light Escape Technique was a genuine Immortal Law of the Mysterious Sect and had a magical similarity to the Buddhist Heart Light Escape Technique.

That day, when Shi Feiyang saw Wu Qiming using an Escape Skill to flee for his life, it was somewhat mysterious, as all three of his clones had managed to escape being absorbed by his inner core. He couldn't help but look up to it, yet didn't think it was particularly remarkable.

But now as he listened to Xiang Ji, he grew more and more astonished.

The Mysterious Sect Spirit Light Escape Technique could allow one to fly autonomously at an incredible speed. In advanced stages of cultivation, wherever one's heart and thoughts went, one could arrive in an instant; theoretically, as long as a flash of divine light occurred within the divine thoughts and the will reached a place, one could immediately fly there, roughly equating to teleportation. Not only could one fly fast by oneself, but it could also carry people, not just one or two, or seventeen or eighteen, but, with enough mana, one could fly with the entire world...

This was simply more powerful than the "Thousand Miles, Household, Bag within a Snapshot" and such Upper Realm Immortal Laws!

He asked Xiang Ji where Wu Qiming had learned this Immortal Law from; Xiang Ji didn't know: "I don't even know who Wu Qiming's master is, I heard them secretly discussing that he might have been killed by Wu Qiming."

Quite clearly, Wu Qiming's skills were all unorthodox; the Spiritual Light Escape Technique was something he came across unintentionally.

The spells of the orthodox Mysterious Sect needed the mana from the orthodox Mysterious Sect Cultivation Technique to support its operation, and using unorthodox mana to cast it would greatly diminish its power. Wu Qiming's cultivation of this spell to such a state was almost at its limit.

Xiang Ji's mana was even worse; now, the Escape Skill he was using to fly was the Spiritual Light Escape Technique, only about as fast as Shi Feiyang's normal flying speed.

Soon, they reached the location instructed by Geng Kun, which was a coral reef disk that submerged underwater during high tide and emerged during low tide. Now, the water was more than three feet deep, with Xiang Ji standing on the reef, half of his body in the water.

According to what Geng Kun said, Yangjiao Island, where Iron Umbrella was to undergo his tribulation, was about three hundred miles away from here. They couldn't fly over from the sky any further, otherwise they would surely be discovered.

The two divided the tasks; Xiang Ji was to set up a Dharma Platform here, he discerned the directions, searched for suitable stones, and started to get busy.

Shi Feiyang then dived deep into the sea and swam toward Yangjiao Island from the seabed.

Using the Water Escape Technique, he tried his best to hide his tracks and move forward quickly.

In his opinion, Iron Umbrella would definitely carefully calculate the risks and benefits before undergoing the tribulation, and with his capabilities, he would surely be able to predict Geng Kun's revenge. Geng Kun's Twelve Heavenly Forbidden Technique was renowned worldwide, and anyone with an undamaged brain could guess how he would attack.

Iron Umbrella would definitely have defenses set up layer by layer at the seabed. Charging ahead without saying it was walking right into a trap was sure to encounter setbacks...
