A tremendous noise echoed across the sea, stirring a vast splash of waves. When the dust and smoke cleared, everyone's eyes widened in shock. The Great Mountain Seal was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Fei remained, hovering in the void. All that was left were ripples and waves on the sea's surface. Moreover, a massive whirlpool had formed in the water.

"Was... was the Great Mountain Seal sent flying?"

Five Light True Person and Clear Light True Person looked on in disbelief. What had they just witnessed? The formidable Great Mountain Seal, after clashing head-on with Lin Fei's saber, was actually sent flying, plunging directly into the sea, causing the formation of that vast whirlpool.

Yet Lin Fei remained untouched. The two peak Foundation Establishment True Persons couldn't quite believe it. Was Lin Fei's slash really that powerful? A head-on collision with a Golden Core-level magic treasure Great Mountain Seal, only to send it flying.

This was no longer the power of a Martial Saint or a Foundation Establishment True Person. Even if he hadn't reached the level of a Martial Sovereign, he was close.

"Go!"

Without hesitation, Five Light True Person and Clear Light True Person turned to leave. They quickly cast a spell, trying to recall the Great Mountain Seal. However, it was already too late.

"Boom."

Although Lin Fei's saber essence was drained, he still had his Saber Momentum. In an instant, Lin Fei's Saber Momentum descended, making the two Foundation Establishment True Persons feel like they were trapped in quicksand. Every move became incredibly difficult!

"Immeasurable Fist!"

Lin Fei launched a punch. Indeed, his saber essence had been exhausted and would take time to recover. However, the power of the martial artists lies within themselves. A martial artist's body is still immensely formidable. Especially for Lin Fei, who had condensed the Energy Flower. He also possessed the Blood Energy Domain. Thus, even if his saber essence was depleted, Lin Fei's body remained incredibly strong!

"Boom."

Lin Fei's Blood Energy Domain encompassed both the Five Light True Person and Clear Light True Person. Immediately, their Qi and Blood were suppressed. Their entire beings, under the dual pressure of Saber Momentum and Blood Energy Domain, found it almost impossible to even move an inch, let alone escape.

Pity the magic treasures possess consciousness. Any magic treasure that survives the Heavenly Tribulation, given time, would likely develop a sense of sentience. Thus, with the demise of both the Five Light True Person and the Clear Light True Person, the Great Mountain Seal had fled. It probably returned to whence it came.

At that moment, some Foundation Establishment True Persons from the sea raiders still lingered in the void. Witnessing Lin Fei's terrifying power, they dared not linger. One after another, they activated their magic treasures and fled in an instant.

Lin Fei didn't pursue it. There was no point. For him, averting the crisis of Fairy Mist Island was enough. Moreover, he was now devoid of his saber essence. To rejuvenate his saber essence would require time. This was his most vulnerable moment.

Still, even in such a state, Lin Fei was a Limit Martial Saint with the Energy and Blood Energy Domain.

With a 'whoosh', True Person Lu Zhen landed before Lin Fei.

"Elder Lin, are you aware of the identities of those two Foundation Establishment True Persons?"True Person Lu Zhen inquired gravely, seemingly devoid of any elation.

"Weren't they sea raiders?" Lin Fei queried in return.

"Before you vanquished those two Foundation Establishment True Persons, Elder Lin, they uttered a name—Taiyi Dao Palace! And possessing such formidable Golden Core-tier magic treasures, it is undoubted they are likely the Foundation Establishment True Persons from the Taiyi Dao Palace."

"Taiyi Dao Palace?"

Lin Fei hadn't heard of this sect. Yet, from the expression on True Person Lu Zhen's face, this sect seemed of significant consequence.

"Elder Lin, you've perhaps only recently joined the Ancient Origin Sect. It's understandable if you're unaware of the Taiyi Dao Palace. The vastness of the Ancient Continent harbors innumerable martial arts sects and immortal sects. Our Red Hades Mansion, the Ancient Origin Sect, and the Profound Light Cave Heaven, though secluded, stand relatively firm. Yet, even as these three major powers, we still face a formidable adversary in the Taiyi Dao Palace! But the Taiyi Dao Palace is located far from Fairy Mist Island. With Fairy Mist Island lacking resources, why would the Taiyi Dao Palace disguise themselves as sea raiders, intent on seizing it? I fear there are hidden reasons at play.

Moreover, the Great Mountain Seal has likely returned to the Taiyi Dao Palace. Soon, they'll learn of the events here. Elder Lin, while your strength is impressive, the Taiyi Dao Palace isn't something we at the Foundation Establishment or Martial Saint levels should meddle with. It's best to urgently report the presence of the Taiyi Dao Palace on Fairy Mist Island to our sect. Letting the sect handle this matter would be more prudent."

Lin Fei nodded in agreement. Initially, he had only come to resolve the crisis on Fairy Mist Island. Now that the peril had been averted, this matter had no bearing on him. Reporting the appearance of the Taiyi Dao Palace members on Fairy Mist Island to the sect would alleviate many of his troubles.

"Thank you for the reminder, True Person Lu. As the crisis on Fairy Mist Island has been resolved, I shall take my leave first. Farewell!"

With that, Lin Fei stepped forward. He didn't meet with members of the eight great families but chose to leave Fairy Mist Island directly.

Lin Fei set his course back to the Ancient Origin Sect.
