A massive search swept through the Sea of Darkness, and countless deserted islands were meticulously combed.
In the process, they captured many notorious Tribulation Cultivators, all of whom were sent to the Yin Corpse Sect and refined into Corpse Puppets.
However, despite practically turning the Sea of Darkness upside down, no one found any trace of Xiao Chen.
The reason was actually quite simple: he had long since fled beyond the blockade.
With an Escape Speed that was leagues ahead of everyone else, plus his incredibly fast True Essence regeneration, Xiao Chen had crossed the Endless Sea with just his physical body. He hadn't taken the standard routes at all, so naturally, the Yin Corpse Sect never intercepted him.
By now, he was already tens of thousands of miles beyond their checkpoints.
Completely unaware of this, Dai Fei'ang was still within the blockaded zone, rallying his fellow cultivators for the search. In truth, he was just wasting his breath.
