This time of leisurely travel had indeed allowed him a rare moment of relaxation.
"Quick, let's go inside!"
"I'm starving!"
After their excursion, Feng Ruoqin felt so hungry that she was practically trembling.
"Don't rush, I'll prepare dinner for you right away!"
"You wait!"
Before leaving, Ye Fei had already marinated the food.
Thus, in just a quarter of an hour, the food was served.
Feng Ruoqin was discerning and recognized the Purple Gold Deer at a glance.
"It's been so long since I last ate Purple Gold Deer. I truly have good fortune today!"
"If my grandfather knew, he would be incredibly envious of me!"
Thinking of her family, Feng Ruoqin couldn't help but curve her lips.
"Eat up!"
"It'll get cold if you don't eat now!"
Ye Fei couldn't wait any longer and began to devour the food.
Feng Ruoqin was no less eager.
The two of them ate as if in a competition, finishing all the food on the large table.
After their fill of food and wine, they finally remembered the important matter at hand.
After consuming the Purple Gold Deer meat, both of them felt their bottlenecks on the verge of shattering.
"Ye Fei, I'll protect you while you break through!"
"You go first!"
To ensure safety, they did not choose to break through at the same time.
"Thank you!"
Through their previous interactions, they had become friends who could trust each other.
Therefore, Ye Fei did not refuse. Instead, he confidently sat down cross-legged and began to impact the bottleneck within his body.
This time, it did not require much effort, and the bottleneck quickly shattered.
Ye Fei's aura began to climb.
Qi Condensation Stage Eight, Early Phase.
Qi Condensation Stage Eight, Middle Phase!
This time, Ye Fei broke through two layers again.
In fact, Ye Fei could have broken through another layer, but he suppressed it.
"It's your turn!"
Ye Fei stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave alone, acting as a protector.
Feng Ruoqin, meanwhile, sat down cross-legged where Ye Fei had just broken through and began her own breakthrough.
This time, Feng Ruoqin also succeeded, just like Ye Fei, breaking through two consecutive levels, her cultivation reaching the peak of the Profound Origin Stage One.
Feng Ruoqin was very satisfied, not expecting such a great harvest this time.
Time had already passed deep into the night. The two of them said no more and retired to their respective rooms to rest.
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
The two then prepared to return home.
"Let's go!"
Feng Ruoqin said with a smile.
Ye Fei followed closely behind. The two of them exited the cave together and headed towards the exit of Ten Thousand Flames Valley.
With their increased cultivation, they reached the teleportation array location in less than half an hour.
"Let's go up!"
As soon as they stepped into the teleportation array, Ye Fei suddenly stopped.
"Wait!"
"I feel something is very wrong!"
Fortunately, Ye Fei had been cautious, and his spiritual sense had been constantly monitoring the surrounding movements.
Indeed, as soon as they stepped onto the teleportation array, he became vigilant.
It was because the few people on the teleportation array were acting very strangely.
Their gazes were sharp, and their eyes were constantly sweeping over Ye Fei and Feng Ruoqin.
Especially since their cultivation levels were not low; the highest among them had reached the middle stage of Profound Origin Stage Two.
Ye Fei's heart stirred, and he immediately recalled the information from Gu Bing, the chief steward of the Precious Treasures Pavilion, about someone hiring members of the Seven Killers Pavilion to hunt him.
"Let's go down first, I'm feeling a bit unwell."
Ye Fei timely took Feng Ruoqin's hand and said with a solemn expression.
Feng Ruoqin, who had been walking forward, stopped and immediately looked at Ye Fei.
Seeing that his state was not right, Feng Ruoqin understood his intentions and followed his instructions.
Then, the two of them retreated together.
Only after they had walked out of the teleportation array did Ye Fei whisper a few words into Feng Ruoqin's ear.
Upon hearing Ye Fei's speculation, Feng Ruoqin was also startled.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly!"
The thought of almost becoming trapped like fish in a barrel sent a cold sweat down Feng Ruoqin's spine.
The assassins from the Seven Killers Pavilion, who had been waiting in the teleportation array, saw the two of them step off and then hurried towards a corner that was not clearly visible.
"Brother, could they have discovered us?"
"Should we chase them?"
A man dressed ostentatiously frowned.
"Continue to monitor them!"
"If they don't make any further moves to approach the teleportation array, then we will prepare to act!"
The middle-aged man with a mustache said sternly.
This man was also the overall commander of this operation and was quite a figure within the Seven Killers Pavilion.
"Yes!"
To ensure the success of this operation, a team of five people was dispatched.
Originally, the mustached man did not plan to come along, but considering the identity of the employer, he eventually did.
However, if he had known that this assassination mission would not only fail but also cost him his own life, he probably would not have agreed.
"Run!"
Ye Fei's spiritual sense was fully deployed. He keenly discovered that they were currently hiding in a blind spot of these people's vision and quickly whispered.
Feng Ruoqin also broke into a run. The two of them displayed their movement techniques and quickly disappeared from the sight of these individuals.
"Brother, where did they go?"
"No, I'm not at ease, I'll go down and check!"
The man dressed ostentatiously said with unease.
Then, the mustached man nodded slightly.
When the man dressed ostentatiously went down to the teleportation array and looked around, he indeed found no trace of the two of them!
Only then did he begin to panic slightly.
After all the effort to find these two, and with their ambush set up, were they just going to let them escape?
Or had these two discovered something?
The puzzled man dressed ostentatiously quickly returned to the teleportation array and said somewhat fearfully.
"Brother, I searched all around here and found no trace of them. I estimate they've run off!"
*Slap!*
The middle-aged man with a mustache slammed his palm on the nearby armrest, his face chillingly stern.
"Hurry up and chase them!"
"It hasn't been long, they definitely haven't gone far. All of you, go and chase them!"
"If this mission fails today, you will all have to pay with your lives!"
"If you want to live, all of you, chase them immediately!"
The man dressed ostentatiously, shedding his previous nonchalant demeanor, immediately became serious.
"Yes, Brother!"
The other three assassins also had stern expressions. They exited the teleportation array together, then split up in four directions to pursue.
As for the middle-aged man with a mustache, he let out a few sinister laughs and then also pursued them.
The middle-aged man with a mustache was indeed exceptionally skilled. After carefully sensing the surroundings, he directly pursued in the direction Ye Fei and Feng Ruoqin had fled!
Meanwhile, Ye Fei and Feng Ruoqin dared not stop for a moment, gritting their teeth and continuing to flee desperately forward.
