However, she knew in her heart that all of this was only temporary.
At this moment, the only thing she could do was to take her senior brother and leave this place as quickly as possible.
If they delayed any longer, even a celestial being would be powerless to save the situation.
Yet, the current circumstances were far more complicated than she had imagined!
How could the man wearing the jade pendant, having finally found her, allow her to escape?
Therefore, he immediately ordered the men he brought with him to surround the two of them!
Breaking through their encirclement would be no easy feat!
"Run, see where you can run to!"
"With such a burden, you can't even break through my encirclement!"
The man with the jade pendant smiled sinisterly, glaring at them fiercely.
He was not worried in the slightest that they would escape.
Nangong Qingxue closed her eyes, took a deep look at her senior brother, and then stood up, saying,
"After I escort my senior brother away, I will leave with you!"
"Don't you think of capturing me in the process, or you will never know the whereabouts of that treasure!"
"All that awaits you is death!"
Nangong Qingxue’s expression was solemn as she immediately hoisted the unconscious senior brother onto her back.
After weighing the options, the man with the jade pendant coldly said,
"We will follow behind you. Once you send this boy to the entrance, you must come with us!"
"Otherwise, I will kill him first!"
Nangong Qingxue smiled calmly, sarcastically.
"Don't worry, I, Nangong Qingxue, always keep my word!"
With that, Nangong Qingxue helped her senior brother up and began to move forward with her movement technique.
As for the man with the jade pendant and his three companions, they followed closely behind.
The man with the jade pendant was confident that the woman would not dare to play any tricks!
After all, she was no match for the four of them alone!
What's more, she was currently carrying a half-dead person!
Nangong Qingxue was filled with anxiety and could only accelerate towards the entrance of the secret realm trial.
At this moment, Ye Fei was heading in their direction!
Ye Fei listened carefully but could no longer hear his senior brother's voice.
His heart tightened, and he had no idea what had happened.
It was precisely at this moment of extreme anxiety that several figures suddenly appeared in front of him, rushing towards him.
Ye Fei opened his divine sense wide and immediately saw his senior brother, whom he had met before, unconscious in Nangong Qingxue's embrace!
Moreover, several men with cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Condensation were behind them!
And the most formidable of them, the man wearing the jade pendant, had actually reached the mid-stage of the ninth level of Qi Condensation!
It seemed that his senior brother and this woman had encountered trouble!
Ye Fei estimated the combat strength of both sides, his eyes sharpened, and he directly blocked in front of the two.
"Stop, is it you four who made my senior brother like this?"
Ye Fei had briefly glanced at his senior brother and found that his aura was extremely chaotic, indicating that something had gone seriously wrong.
"Who are you?"
"This is no place for you to interfere!"
"If you know what's good for you, get out of the way!"
"Otherwise, I'll cripple you too!"
The man with the jade pendant shouted angrily.
Ye Fei's expression remained calm, and he paid no heed to the threat.
Instead, he said calmly,
"Do you dare to fight me to the death?"
"Since you dared to harm my senior brother, I cannot let you go!"
However, when he said this, the man with the jade pendant burst into laughter, as if mocking his overestimation of himself!
"Big brother, this is hilarious!"
"I never expected this kid to be so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"I really don't know where he got the nerve to challenge you to a one-on-one fight!"
"I think he's tired of living!"
The hawk-nosed man who spoke sneered.
"Just tell me, do you dare or not!"
"Are you afraid of me?"
"Or is all your cultivation built up by pills, making you just a pretty facade?"
"Otherwise, why do you not dare to accept the challenge?"
Ye Fei said calmly again.
"You are courting death!"
"I originally wanted to spare your life, but now it seems I was too merciful!"
"Since you are insistent on avenging your senior brother, I will grant you your wish!"
"A weakling like you, I can kill with one move!"
Provoked by Ye Fei, the man with the jade pendant could no longer control his inner rage and turned to kill Ye Fei on the spot.
Nangong Qingxue and the other two were shielded by Ye Fei.
Nangong Qingxue couldn't stop Ye Fei and could only let him fight the man.
Although Ye Fei's cultivation was only at the early stage of the seventh level of Qi Condensation, through his constant battles in the past few days, the bottleneck was showing signs of shattering again.
Furthermore, this person dared to harm his senior brother, so he had to kill him himself!
"Kid, I will let you know the difference between us now!"
"So you don't overestimate yourself!"
"Take this!"
As he moved, the spiritual energy in the air was directly channeled by him, and then a ball of spiritual energy directly wrapped around his sword!
Ye Fei was startled, seeing this method for the first time!
In that instant, Ye Fei had already figured out the twists and turns of it all.
"Kid, you brought this upon yourself!"
"Take this!"
With a bang, the man with the jade pendant's long sword, along with the ball of spiritual energy, lunged directly at Ye Fei!
With the boost from this ball of spiritual energy, this attack had significantly increased in both power and speed!
As the attack got closer and closer to him, Ye Fei made the same move as the man before him!
This time, under Ye Fei's actions, all the spiritual energy in the surroundings was drawn out by Ye Fei, and even spiritual energy from afar was continuously surging towards Ye Fei!
"How is this possible!"
"Why do you also know our family's unique secret technique?"
Just as the man with the jade pendant couldn't believe it, Ye Fei, with a bang, unleashed the ball of spiritual energy, which collided directly with the man's attack!
Instantly, explosions erupted in the air.
Fortunately, Nangong Qingxue reacted quickly, projecting a spiritual energy shield to protect herself and the unconscious senior brother, thus narrowly escaping disaster.
However, the three men behind the attacker were not so lucky!
They never expected Ye Fei's attack to be so powerful, and they were caught off guard!
They were directly impacted by the shockwave, their clothes were torn, and their backs were covered in wounds.
One of them was even struck in the heart meridian by the shockwave.
With a muffled sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body began to sway.
As for Ye Fei, at that moment, he employed his Flying Cloud Steps and managed to escape the scene in time!
The man with the jade pendant on the opposite side was inevitably affected by the shockwave and was no longer the debonair figure he was before.
