Above the ocean of clouds, the Wind Vulture flapped its wings and flew hundreds of meters away. The shrill, long-lasting sonic booms behind it didn't reach anyone's ears, because the Wind Vulture's flying speed had already surpassed the speed of sound.
The Head Elder and the Fourth Elder were standing in front of the Wind Eagle's back like two towering mountains, relieving most of the pressure on Ye Chen and the other two. Otherwise, only the strong airflow caused by the supersonic speed of the eagle could easily blow them away and make them fall from the sky.
"Brother Ye, you have to be mentally prepared for this trip to the Emerald Martial Palace. I believe you also know why the higher-ups want you to come with us." Xu Jing abruptly used her Zhen Qi to talk to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded. "Why isn't Senior Sister Zhu Mei here?"
"None of the head disciples from the top four martial institutions will go there, unless one of them has reached the Clasping Yuan Realm and is on par with Young Master Emerald."
"I see!" Ye Chen thought for a while and realized that Zhu Mei was right. If Zhu Mei went, she would inevitably be compared with Young Master Emerald. But now, she didn't want to go. So, everyone could only compare the second disciples of each martial institution.
Just then —
The Fourth Elder said to Ye Chen and the other two with his Zhen Qi, "There is a large number of flesh demons in front of us, be careful not to get sucked into them."
Flesh demon?
Ye Chen froze for a second. This was a kind of demonic beast that floated in the air without any intelligence. It was shaped like a huge meatball and had a lot of scary looking mouths. Normally, three mouths would be a rank 1 meat beast, six mouths would be a rank 2 meat beast, nine mouths would be a rank 3 meat beast, and so on and so forth.
Flesh demons usually lived by inhaling and exhaling the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Occasionally, they would eat meat.
Before he could think about it, disgusting meatballs appeared in the vast sea of clouds in front of him. These meatballs were brownish-red in color, and their bodies were covered with mouths with sharp teeth. The largest one was no different from a small mountain, and the smallest one was the size of a water buffalo. They floated in the air with the wind, and if a flying beast passed by, they would open their mouths and release a terrifying suction force, swallowing it into their stomachs.
"Sky Burning Palm!"
The Wind Vulture was incredibly fast. Seeing that it was about to break into the group of meat spirit beasts, the Fourth Elder let out a resonant growl and pushed his palm out.
Rumble!
A large number of flesh demons exploded and were burned into nothingness. The shockwave even tore a large hole in the sea of clouds.
Ye Chen was secretly shocked, 'Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists are indeed extraordinary, every single move of theirs has the destructive power to destroy mountains.'
Suddenly.
The Wind Vulture swayed intensely and slowed down.
The few of them turned their heads to look. Unbeknownst to them, a meatball the size of a small hill had appeared on their right rear. The largest mouth on the meatball was wide open, sucking in the air and the sea of clouds in a spiral. It was like a huge bottomless pit, swallowing everything.
Ye Chen and the other two had low cultivation bases, so they were about to be sucked out.
The First Elder made his move.
He raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand and drew a line in the air.
Puchi!
A purplish-golden ray of light extended out. It was as sharp as a blade, and it split the meatball into two. The cut was smooth, without a trace of roughness.
The Fourth Elder said in admiration, "A fifth-grade meat beast's defensive power is even more terrifying than a real mountain. It seems that your Purple Light Finger has already reached the highest level, it can cut a mountain as if it was nothing."
"Ah, it took me over ten years to reach the highest level of this mid-rank Earth Realm finger art. I can't compare with you." The First Elder gave a bitter smile.
Ye Chen was speechless. The First Elder was obviously talking about him.
Hearing him, the Fourth Elder was speechless again. He had seen all kinds of geniuses, but he had never seen a genius who could learn a low-rank Earth Realm martial art within a month. What a freak!
…
Above another piece of sea of clouds, a hazy white light flashed like a bolt of lightning. It seemed to be able to travel a mile within a blink of an eye.
If one looked carefully, one would be able to see that the white light was actually a huge white bird. The white bird had a strong and muscular body, with a pair of dark-yellow claws under its belly.
There were four people standing on the back of the white bird. The leading two were over forty years old. They were wearing white robes with golden edges and snowflake patterns on the cuffs. Behind the two were two young men. The one on the left had a strong and muscular build. He was a head taller than the two in front. His eyes were extremely sharp and aggressive, as if he was being attacked by a heavy blade. The one on the right looked ordinary, wearing white robes. If he was thrown into a crowd, it would be hard to find him. However, when one looked at his eyes, one would feel that he was not ordinary at all. His pure crystal-like eyes gave people a soul-stirring feeling. The blade light seemed to be invisible, it seemed to be able to transform into the blade intent. It was indeed the 'North Snow Quick Blade' Lynch. As for the strong and muscular teenager, he was the second core disciple of the North Snow Martial Academy, 'Blade' Yu Yue.
"We, the North Snow Martial Academy, never liked to fight. But even though we don't like to fight, it's still a shame to fall behind others. You two have to work hard." The middle-aged man on the right reminded them with a smile on his face.
Yu Yue chuckled and said, "I admit that I am no match for Zhuang Fei. But except for him, I, Yu Yue, am not afraid of anyone in the younger generation of the Windy Nation."
At this moment, the bearded middle-aged man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, sighed and said, "In recent years, the North Snow Martial Academy has started to lose its strength. There haven't been any outstanding geniuses appearing in the ranking competitions of the inner disciples. However, the Sky Cloud Martial School is quite lucky. They actually have a disciple who has mastered the half-step sword intent."
Lynch's eyes lit up. He was believed by the leader of the group, Xue Wuren, to be the one who had the highest chance of mastering the blade intent. Now that he knew that there was a disciple who had mastered the half-step sword intent and was only one step away from mastering the real sword intent, he was a bit excited.
The rain was pouring down.
A loach-like black-scaled demonic beast was swimming in the sea of clouds. Every time it lurked and reappeared, it would be several hundred meters away. Coupled with its huge body and terrifying appearance, ordinary people would think that a legendary evil dragon had appeared in the world and was going to harm the human world.
"Junior Sister Yuan, you've made great progress in the past few months! Otherwise, we wouldn't have asked you to come with us to the Emerald Martial Palace. "There were five people standing on the beast's head. A young man with an umbrella said to the tall girl with a smile.
The tall girl had a pretty face and a pair of straight and long legs.
If Ye Chen were here, he would definitely recognize her. She was indeed Yuan Xuemei, who had helped the Ling Family with the mission.
Compared to a few months ago, her Qi was much more powerful. Obviously, she had made great progress.
Yuan Xuemei smiled lightly and said, "I think the elders want me to see the world. Plus, following brother Nan Gong will definitely not be a bad thing."
"How come all the female disciples of the Rudra Martial School are so talkative? I am the only one who is dumb." The young man with the umbrella said sarcastically.
"Hehe!"
Yuan Xuemei laughed.
Caw!
From afar, an ear-piercing beast roar came out, shaking the sea of clouds.
The elder of the Rudra Martial School, who was standing in the front, raised his head and looked over, but couldn't see anything. He murmured to himself, "It should be the Double Headed Bat King from the Purple Sun Martial School, it is quite fast!"
A few hundred miles away from the black-scaled demon beast, a black-red two-headed bat with a wingspan of more than ten meters swept across the sky.
On the back of the bat, four people were standing. One of them was Ouyang Ming, who had a conflict with Ye Chen in the Northwest Auction House. Beside him was a short and skinny teenager, who looked very ordinary, even a bit ugly, which formed a sharp contrast with Ouyang Ming.
Piercing through the sea of clouds, the four of them rushed towards the southwest.
