The mysterious old man inside the Thousand Transformation Palace had left two teleportation formations inside Chu Feng's body. The first one transported him to the supreme cultivation treasure that Black Fiend Old Demon had refined for his granddaughter.
The second teleportation formation, however, sent Chu Feng to an ancient teleportation array—one left unguarded and still fully functional.
Through the ancient teleportation array, Chu Feng left Black Fiend Old Demon's territory directly.
Wang Yuxian was far too weak. Chu Feng feared that something might happen to her if she went back alone, so he decided to escort her back to the Dao Sea before departing.
Wang Yuxian hadn't been missing for very long.
Her fellow senior disciples had no idea why she had suddenly disappeared, and the place where she vanished was not a dangerous zone either.
As a result, most people speculated that Wang Yuxian might have had something she wanted to do on her own and had deliberately shaken off her seniors.
Wang Yuxian may have seemed well-behaved on the surface, but anyone who truly knew her understood that she had a mischievous side as well. She had pulled stunts like this before.
So the Dao Sea hadn't paid much attention to Wang Yuxian's sudden disappearance.
It wasn't until Chu Feng brought Wang Yuxian back and the people of the Dao Sea saw how frail she had become that they realized she had suffered a terrible ordeal.
……
At that moment, inside a palace within the Dao Sea, only three people were present—Chu Feng, Wang Yuxian, and the Dao Sea Fairy.
The Dao Sea Fairy was truly remarkable. The moment she set to work, Chu Feng could feel that her strength was immense.
She was no weaker than Black Fiend Old Demon.
Under her treatment, Wang Yuxian's weakened body actually improved significantly.
She still appeared frail, but compared to before, she had recovered several times over.
However, after the treatment, a hint of strain appeared on the Dao Sea Fairy's face. It was clear that she cared deeply for Wang Yuxian as a disciple—otherwise, she would not have expended such enormous effort to help her.
And only after Wang Yuxian's condition had improved did the Dao Sea Fairy ask Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian about the full details of what had happened.
"Black Fiend Old Demon—how dare he abduct my disciple. I will not let this go."
After learning the truth, the Dao Sea Fairy spoke with fury.
Though her voice wasn't loud, Chu Feng could feel the anger radiating from her.
"Senior, do you believe that Black Fiend Old Demon colluded with the Asura Evil Spirits inside the Asura Burial Ground and helped them abduct Lele?"
Chu Feng asked.
"Asura Evil Spirits cannot leave the Asura Burial Ground on their own. They must coordinate with someone on the outside."
"The Asura Burial Ground is within Black Fiend Old Demon's territory. Who else could it be if not him?"
The Dao Sea Fairy said, but then she quickly asked: "Could it be that Young Friend Chu Feng has made other discoveries? Do you know it was someone else's doing?"
"This junior has no other discoveries, but I can't shake the feeling that things may not be so simple," Chu Feng said.
"Even if it wasn't Black Fiend Old Demon himself, he must know the reason."
"If we want answers for this matter, the only person we can turn to is him," the Dao Sea Fairy said.
Her attitude made it clear that she had no intention of letting the matter rest.
Chu Feng could not deny this—Black Fiend Old Demon certainly knew far more than they did.
"Young Friend Chu Feng, you saved Lele. I owe you an enormous favor."
"I can grant you one thing. Whatever it is, as long as you tell me, I will help you," the Dao Sea Fairy said to Chu Feng.
"Does Senior truly mean that?" Chu Feng asked.
"Of course I do," the Dao Sea Fairy replied.
"Then, Senior, could you help me enter the Crouching Dragon Martial Sect?"
Chu Feng said.
"What?"
Hearing those words, the Dao Sea Fairy was taken aback.
"The Crouching Dragon Martial Sect? What kind of place is that?"
Once Chu Feng spoke those words, the frail Wang Yuxian also piped up, seeming quite intrigued.
The Dao Sea Fairy did not answer her. Instead, she turned directly to Chu Feng and asked: "Young Friend Chu Feng, why do you wish to enter the Crouching Dragon Martial Sect?"
"There is a very important matter that can only be accomplished if I go inside," Chu Feng said.
At that moment, the Dao Sea Fairy's brow furrowed deeply.
"Oh no, oh no. Just look at her expression—she obviously can't help you."
"How awkward. She just said she'd help with anything, and now she's stumped," Egg Egg chimed in with a cheeky laugh, dripping with mockery.
"My Queen, don't be like that. After all, the Crouching Dragon Martial Sect really is no ordinary place."
