Chu Chen and the youth president, Qiu San, realized at the same time that they had both forgotten to hide their strengths because they were evenly matched. They looked at each other and smiled. Their fighting spirit vanished and turned into a sharp glint in their eyes.
Chu Chen placed his chess piece.
"Bang!"
The ink-black chess piece landed on the stone chessboard, making a low rumbling sound.
A huge encirclement was formed in an instant. With a clatter, it took away the areas occupied by several white chess pieces and killed them all.
"Ah … I didn't expect you to be so calm and experienced at playing chess at such a young age. It doesn't match your age at all."
Qiu San smiled meaningfully and shook his head. It was as if he was talking about Chu Chen's chess skills and also about Chu Chen's strength.
"This level of cultivation … It's impossible to achieve chess skills without at least 20 years of practice. How did Brother Tong practice?"
"I didn't expect you to be so unconventional and unpredictable. Your strength is not limited to Six Streams … I mean, your chess skills are not limited to just six years."
Chu Chen smiled faintly. His face was full of ambiguity.
"Hahaha … same to you."
Qiu San smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sharp and clear cry of a crane from the sky.
Chu Chen looked up and saw a snow-white figure flying rapidly from the distant sky. He looked at it and saw that it was Elder Lingxin's mount, Snowy Feather, which had flown away after boarding the ship.
"Heh … this eccentric spirit crane has finally flown back."
Qiu San looked at the sky and smiled. "This crane despises our steel ship for being too dirty. It doesn't even want to stay in the first-class beast pen. Now that it's back, I'm afraid it must be tired after flying for a few days."
As soon as he finished speaking, a light green figure hurriedly walked out of the cabin. It was Elder Lingxin, who had been studying the Talisman and Charm Brand that Chu Chen had drawn. Nobody knew why she had run out.
Her expression changed slightly. She looked up at the sky and seemed to be listening to Snowy Feather's cry. Soon, her eyes were filled with doubt. "No, how did Snowy Feather become like this …"
"What's wrong?"
Chu Chen felt that something was wrong when he saw the panic on Elder Lingxin's face, who had always remained calm even if the sky fell down.
Qiu San raised his eyebrows slightly. "This Spirit Crane has been flying for so many days. I'm afraid it's tired and is coming back to rest."
"Something's not right."
Elder Lingxin's expression did not relax at all. Instead, there was an indescribable seriousness. "It's only six days. With Xue Yu's flying endurance, she definitely won't be tired. It must have encountered some danger, and the sound it's making now is a warning. We're in big trouble! "
Hmm?
Hearing Lingxin's words, Chu Chen frowned and subconsciously looked up at the spirit crane circling in the sky.
He knew that Snow Feather was the spirit beast that Elder Lingxin had raised since it was young. It was very intelligent, arrogant, and tough. It was a super spirit beast that was not afraid of anything.
Furthermore, it was extremely bold and careful. It was a proud spirit beast that had rich experience in facing danger.
When he was still learning the art of medicine refining in Biquan Xianzong, he had heard from Senior Sister Qingyue that Snow Feather had acutely sensed danger several times when it was on an adventure with Elder Lingxin. It had calmly and boldly dealt with it.
From then on, Snow Feather had helped Elder Lingxin avoid disasters in time and saved her life.
It was said that seven years ago, Elder Lingxin had just started learning the art of medicine. She was fearless and dared to go anywhere. She even dared to go deep into the South Horizon Region alone to collect a rare "Heavenly Blood Red Fruit".
She did not expect that there would be a tyrannical giant "Purple Gold Poisonous Scorpion" lurking not far away from the Heavenly Blood Red Fruit. It specialized in hunting Ferocious Beasts and humans who coveted the Heavenly Blood Red Fruit.
At that time, when Elder Lingxin had just collected the Heavenly Blood Red Fruit, the mountain-like Purple Gold Poisonous Scorpion opened its eyes like an awakened mountain.
At the critical moment, Xue Yu grabbed Elder Lingxin forcefully and flew into the sky before the Purple-Gold Poisonous Scorpion launched its attack, saving Elder Lingxin from a life-or-death situation.
Calm, bright, and tough — these were the general impressions that Snow Feather gave to everyone in Biquan Xianzong.
At this moment, the snow-white spiritual crane flew above the crowd, but it did not land. Instead, it circled around in the sky endlessly. Shrill cries of cranes tore through the sky, bringing with them an intense aura of anxiety and despair.
This situation … Snow Feather should have discovered something??
Seeing this, Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly spread his spiritual perception towards Snow Feather. Although this Spiritual Crane could not speak the human language, it was already very intelligent.
Chu Chen clearly felt an extreme sense of fear and uneasiness in its soul waves. It was as if this Spiritual Crane had encountered something horrifying, as if the end of the world was coming. It felt hysterical and desperate from the deepest part of its bones.
Obviously, this Spiritual Crane did not have any confidence that it could bring Elder Lingxin out of this huge predicament!
"Flap flap flap …"
The Spiritual Crane in the sky seemed to be getting more and more agitated. As it flapped its wide wings, white feathers started to fall from the sky.
This Spiritual Crane was like an ant on a hot pan. It did not even care about its precious feathers.
"Xiao Yu, come down quickly!"
Looking at the Spiritual Crane's shrill and agitated appearance, Elder Lingxin's face was as cold as ice. She whistled a few times and forcefully summoned the Spiritual Crane down.
At first, the white Spiritual Crane did not listen to Lingxin's summons. It flew in the sky and let out a few shrill cries. It was only when Lingxin's whistles became louder and pierced through the sky that it slowly landed on the deck of the ship. Chu Chen was shocked to realize that its two bright eyes were already blood-red.
"Xiao Yu, what exactly happened?"
Elder Lingxin asked softly as she gently combed the feathers on the Spiritual Crane's back with her right hand.
"Screech!"
The spirit crane immediately seemed to have received an even greater shock. It flapped its wings in a frenzy and let out a long cry towards the sky. The cry was filled with mournfulness and despair. It was as if it knew that it was about to step into the abyss of death but had no way to escape from the madness.
"Danger? We have fallen into an irrecoverable danger? "
Elder Lingxin understood the meaning of the Spiritual Crane's cry. The worry on her frosty face became even more intense.
She desperately combed Snow Feather's feathers, hoping that this agitated Spiritual Beast would calm down. However, there was little effect. At this moment, Snow Feather had completely lost its spirituality and was only left with its bestial nature.
"Help!"
