Seeing that the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle was dead, the surrounding Ferals promptly scattered and fled.
Not bothered to give chase, Jiang He retrieved the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's corpse with a wave of his hand and landed on the mountaintop with Royal Sword Flight.
The Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's nest was not on the mountaintop, but on a cliff above it.
There was a massive boulder protruding out of the cliff, upon which was a large bird's nest. Inside the nest were two eggs that were the size of a small car.
"Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's eggs?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched in surprise.
After all that trouble, the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle was a female?
Well …
Jiang He did not know whether a bird was male or female, but he knew that the egg of a powerful Feral King would definitely be worth a fortune. It would be a delicacy if it was cooked and sprinkled with salt.
Putting away the two Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's eggs, Jiang He circled the mountaintop and found three white snow lotuses growing between the crevices of the snowy ground.
"So these are the legendary Mount Tian Snow Lotuses? Still, they seem to be normal snow lotuses and have yet to evolve into floral spirits … "Jiang He nonchalantly plucked the three before leaping off the mountain.
"Mount Tian is the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's territory, and there are many Ferals living there. If floral spirits really were born, they would have been eaten by the Ferals. Why would I get a chance?"
… …
Around 180 kilometers away from Mount Tian, a blade radiance was streaking toward him from the direction of Lake Kanas.
"Where's Jiang He?"
"Where's Jiang He?"
Three Blades Lin's heart skipped a beat again.
Mount Tian …
He was almost there.
His spirit had been scanning the mountain forest below, but he did not see Jiang He's figure at all.
"Could that black panther have been lying to me?"
"Jiang He didn't come to Mount Tian at all?"
No matter how much Three Blades Lin thought about it, that was probably the only possibility. After all, he was flying at twice the speed of sound, and he would have almost caught up to Jiang He if he really came to Mount Tian.
Still, just in case, Three Blades Lin decided to keep moving forward to check.
He didn't know that the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle was gone!
After all, it was almost 200 kilometers away from Mount Tian, and not even divine-tier elites could sense that far … Moreover, Jiang He's slaying of the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle had taken less than twenty seconds from start to finish. It would be weird if he could sense it without a fight.
Shua!
The saber radiance pierced through the air and flew towards Sky Mountain at an extreme speed.
In his field of vision, the Heavenly Mountain that was covered in pure white snow all year round was getting closer and closer …
"It's less than ten kilometers away from Mount Tian … it seems that Jiang He really did not come."
Three Blades Lin slowed down and was ready to turn back, but that was when …
Rumble!
A violent explosion echoed from up ahead, and even Three Blades Lin could see the fiery sparks leaping into the air from seven to eight miles away.
"Jiang He?"
Holy shit!
Three Blades Lin was stunned. Had the kid already come here?
Is he that fast?
Fortunately, he managed to catch up with them.
…
At the foot of Heaven Mountain.
Beside the stream.
Jiang He stared at the plump fishes floating on the surface of the stream and could not help chuckling. "Pea bombs are really the best for blowing up fishes."
Grasping from the distance, his True Qi swirled and scooped up the meter-long fishes in the stream.
Suddenly, Jiang He's gaze twitched and he turned toward the distant horizon to find a blade radiance streaking toward him.
"Eh?"
"Three Blades Lin?"
Frowning in surprise, Jiang He watched as Three Blades Lin landed in front of him and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here, Old Lin?"
"By the way, perfect timing. This stream is formed from the melted snow of Mount Tian, and the fishes living in the icy water would definitely have a special taste. I've just finished blowing them up, so pick a few and bring them home for a taste."
"…"
Three Blades Lin was between laughter and tears.
'Didn't you just blow up Lake Kanas?'
Still, he breathed a long sigh of relief inwardly …
There was still five kilometers to Mount Tian, and he had finally caught up to the kid.
He glanced at the fishes on the ground and saw that there were over fifty of them. Since he had the Spatial Ring and it was convenient to carry them around, he picked five as he was told, while Jiang He put away the rest.
It was only after he did so that Three Blades Lin said, "Jiang He, come back with me."
"Back?"
"Back where?"
Back to Lingzhou City?
Could something have happened at Lingzhou City, and that was why Three Blades Lin would run to him in such a hurry?
Puzzled, Jiang He asked, "What happened, Old Lin?"
"It's nothing."
Three Blades Lin said. "Don't resist. I'll fly you back."
He extended his hand and grasped, and a wave of energy emanated and shrouded Jiang He. Soon, Jiang He found his body lightening as he took to the air and flew toward Lake Kanas with Three Blades Lin.
Nothing could be better than having someone carrying him.
Still, Jiang He was even more puzzled when he saw Three Blades Lin's scowl, and could not help pressing, "What actually happened, Old Lin?"
Three Blades Lin turned to look at Mount Tian …
Between laughter and tears, he said, "Jiang He, we can't go to Mount Tian. That Golden-Crowned Black Eagle … we can't touch it for now. I was stationed at Mount Kunlun before, and I know that the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle and the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle are close, as well as the Golden-Winged Roc of Bukadaban Peak."
"The Golden-Winged Roc? The Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle? "
Jiang He blinked as he remembered the two Golden-Crowned Black Eagle eggs, and mused to himself, "Old Lin, is the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle male or female?"
"Female? Why would you ask?"
Three Blades Lin gave Jiang He a puzzled look before saying, "I was stationed at Mount Kunlun back then to keep an eye on the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle, and I'm very familiar with it after fighting it many times. In fact, the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle on Mount Tian is female too."
"I get it!"
Jiang He said meaningfully. "It seems that the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle and the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle are good sisters … does that mean that the Golden-Winged Roc is their lover?"
"How did you know? A guess? "
Three Blades Lin did a double take.
Though the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle and the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle would fly towards the Golden-Winged Roc every few days …
No one thought that way.
After all, the nests of those three beasts were not too far away, and they were all elites among Feral Eagles. Was it not normal for them to travel frequently?
"Do I even have to guess?"
Jiang He looked at Three Blades Lin as if he was an idiot, saying, "The eggs are already laid and the truth is right before my eyes. Do I even have to guess?"
"Eggs?"
Three Blades Lin's brow twitched as a bad feeling arose inside him, and he pressed, "What kind of eggs?"
"The eggs of the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle. Two of them were laid, and one of them was the size of my sports car. I could probably eat it for many meals."
Three Blades Lin's flying figure suddenly paused, and he stared at Jiang He with widened eyes, unable to hold back his exclamation, "You stole the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's eggs?"
"Stole?"
Jiang He was at a loss for words. "Old Lin, you're a peak divine-tier elite and a man hailed as the Blade King … how could you use such an inappropriate word? What do you mean stole? I took it openly, alright? "
"…"
Three Blades Lin stared at Jiang He for a long while before turning and flying back towards Mount Tian, growling, "Put it back. Put the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's eggs back. If the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle really did lay with the Golden-Winged Roc, it wouldn't just be the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle — even the Golden-Winged Roc would go berserk if the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle found out that the eggs were gone!"
In Three Blades Lin's perspective …
The Golden-Crowned Black Eagle might not be in its nest, which was why Jiang He took advantage of its weakness and stole its eggs.
"Hehe."
"Don't worry, Old Lin. The Golden-Crowned Black Eagle would never notice."
Jiang He chuckled in amusement.
"How would it notice after I killed it?"
Three Blades Lin: "…"
His figure stiffened as if thunderstruck. His voice became hoarse and trembling as he pointed at Jiang He and asked with a tone of disbelief, "You … you … killed the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle?"
"Yup!"
Jiang He nodded.
Three Blades Lin's body shuddered, and his aura became a little erratic.
He was the one who carried Jiang He up, and with his aura in disorder, Jiang He promptly dropped from the skies.
Pow!
Falling several hundred meters from the skies, Jiang He smashed a large cloud of dust into the mountain forest below under the acceleration of gravity.
Dusting himself off and leaping out of the human-shaped crater, Jiang He pointed at the skies and cursed, "What the hell are you doing, Three Blades Lin? Are you trying to kill me by falling? "
Whoosh!
Three Blades Lin descended from the skies, laughing out loud. "I'm a fool to actually believe your nonsense …"
"According to the time, I would have intercepted you just as you reached the foot of Mount Tian, didn't I?"
"You killed the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle …"
"The Golden-Crowned Black Eagle is just a notch weaker than me. How could you have killed it?"
"Jiang He, don't joke around like that next time … eh?"
Three Blades Lin did a double take even before he finished … Jiang He waved his hand, and the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's colossal corpse landed on the ground.
Beside him.
On the other hand, Jiang He rubbed his temples, suddenly remembering a serious problem.
"Still, if the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle is the Golden-Winged Roc's lover … doesn't that mean those two eggs are the Golden-Winged Roc's sons?"
"I killed the Golden-Winged Roc's wife and tried to eat its sons. Would it bother me?"
Jiang He pondered.
A Feral Emperor would bother him?
Wouldn't that be too dangerous?
Otherwise …
Before the Golden-Winged Roc could react and find a way to kill it, should he take the initiative to attack and think of a way to kill it?
Jiang He promptly clapped his hands.
This plan …
Perfect!
If he attacked first and killed the Golden-Winged Roc, it would never know that he killed its wife and stole its eggs.
How would it retaliate after he killed the Golden-Winged Roc?
Otherwise, even Lingzhou City would be affected when the Golden-Winged Roc came after him, and there was no telling how many would die then!
The only troublesome thing was …
How could he kill a Feral Emperor?
"A Feral Emperor's ability is equal to a Void-tier human. Minister Wang seems to be one, so I could ask him …"
Looking up at the dumbfounded Three Blades Lin, Jiang He said, "Old Lin, do me a favor. Don't tell anyone else that I killed the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle for now. We'll talk about everything after I return from the Tantra Secret Realm."
