While the two cultivators were escorting a Shadowless Mouse and a Bamboo Devil Insect to the outskirts of the Aged Scholar Manor, Weisuo and Nangong Yuqing were standing atop their ugly White Jade Cranes and flying six to seven hundred kilometers away from the Aged Scholar Manor.
Nangong Yuqing had a nervous expression, but her complexion seemed to be slightly flushed. She held a two foot long bamboo stick in her hand. This bamboo stick appeared to be very ordinary, but it was wrapped in a cloth that seemed to be quite absorbent.
Wei Suo, on the other hand, was using the White Jade Crane as if he was fleeing for his life. He pushed the White Jade Crane's speed to the limit as he flew in circles, heading in the direction of the Ancient Scholar Manor.
At the same time, Han Weiwei was cautiously lying in ambush on the tallest tree in a dense forest.
This forest was about three kilometers away from the Aged Scholar Manor. Adding on the fact that it grew on a hillside, Han Weiwei was able to clearly see everything that was happening from her position.
When the two cultivators escorted the two grade five demon beasts to the outskirts of the Aged Scholar Manor, she held a fiery-red talisman in her hand as if she was about to activate it at any moment. But when she saw the two cultivators leave safely, she put away the talisman and took out a gourd gourd that shone with azure light. She activated it.
As she poured her true essence into the gourd, waves of misty azure Yi Wood True Qi quickly enveloped a two-meter area around her. This gourd was clearly Weisuo's Azure Emperor Gourd.
Whoosh!
In less than half an incense stick's worth of time, a black shadow passed through the forest to the left of Han Weiwei at an astonishing speed, giving Han Weiwei quite a fright.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as the black shadow disappeared, a few more black shadows passed through the dense forest at high speed.
This time, the black shadows were slightly slower than the previous one. They vaguely resembled monkeys, but they seemed to have a pair of red wings on their backs. It was quite peculiar.
"It's begun!"
After a flash of excitement passed through her eyes, Han Weiwei nervously looked at the black night sky behind her and softly muttered to herself, "Why hasn't that guy come yet? Really, could it be that he's going to whisper sweet nothings to Nangong Yuqing along the way? "
… …
In the Aged Scholar Manor, eight cultivators surrounded two grade five demon beasts.
Apart from Monk Goldring and Huang Tianya, who were both at the third layer of Heavenly Domain Realm, the rest of the eight cultivators were either at the first or second layer of Heavenly Domain Realm.
The two grade five demon beasts had been brutally dismembered.
"There really is something strange!"
The green Bamboo Devil Bug was nothing special, but there was a green jade talisman in Shadowless Rat's stomach.
"What kind of jade is this?"
Monk Goldring held the jade talisman and examined it for a long time, but couldn't see anything special about it.
This was because the jade talisman clearly didn't contain any spiritual Qi, so it couldn't be a sinister ambush. However, the crooked talisman patterns on the surface of the jade talisman seemed to be somewhat profound.
Monk Goldring, who couldn't see anything special, handed it over to Huang Wuya. After examining it for a moment, Huang Wuya wrinkled his brows and handed it over to a nearby cultivator wearing white robes with arrowhead patterns. After the eight cultivators examined it, a red-clothed cultivator was finally able to see through it. His expression instantly became strange. "This doesn't seem to be a talisman pattern. It's just a few crooked words."
"Look … your … sister?"
Monk Golden Ring and the others read it out almost in unison. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a fiery light suddenly exploded on the wall to the left of the Aged Scholar Manor.
"What's going on?"
The eight cultivators were greatly shocked and rushed down one after another. They saw two cultivators standing on the wall. On the left was an azure-robed middle-aged cultivator with a fiery dagger floating in front of him. On the right was a stooped cultivator with a thin monkey-like figure holding a black seal in his hand.
"It's a low grade two Scavenger Eagle."
When they saw the eight cultivators, the two cultivators quickly explained.
When Monk Goldring and the others looked over, they saw the corpse of a huge blue-feathered eagle lying on the wall.
It was quite normal for low grade demon beasts to pass by in the wilderness. However, right when his mind relaxed, Monk Jin Huan flipped his long hair in a confident and at ease manner, just as he was about to tell them to continue to be on guard and not lower their guard, he saw more than ten black figures fly over from the surrounding night sky.
"Scavenger Eagles!"
"Black Wind Owls!"
Among the dozen or so black shadows that flew over, in addition to the four or five Class 2 Scavenger Eagles that were lying on the ground below the wall, there were also eight or nine Demonic Beasts that looked somewhat similar to owls, but were emitting black gas all over their bodies. These demon beasts were clearly high grade three demon beasts, Black Wind Owls.
"Today's harvest can be considered an unexpected surprise."
Seeing the dozen black shadows, the two cultivators standing on the wall revealed expressions of pleasant surprise. After the azure-robed middle-aged cultivator said with a smile, he first activated a yellow spirit light barrier. Then, he waved his hand and the fiery red dagger in front of him stabbed forward. With a chi sound, it cut down the Black Wind Owl that was flying at the front.
"Hmm?"
However, what made him slightly startled was that the black gas surrounding the other Black Wind Owls condensed into numerous black wind blades at an astonishing speed and surged out violently.
The Blackwind Owls instantly became enraged. This cultivator had encountered Blackwind Owls twice in the wild. However, even if he killed a few of them, the other Blackwind Owls wouldn't be able to unleash wind blades as ferocious as these Blackwind Owls.
Seeing the Wind Blades released by the Black Wind Owls tearing through the air, the other stooped cultivator, who had not activated any defensive artifacts, calmly poured his Quintessential Essence into the black square seal shaped artifact in his hand.
As he channeled his primary essence into it, the black square seal rapidly grew in size. It did not take long for it to become even bigger than the stone lions placed outside the shops. Not only did it block him, but it also blocked the cyan-robed middle-aged cultivator beside him.
"Pa pa pa pa!"
The densely packed wind blades struck the black square seal, producing a series of explosive sounds, but they did not leave a single mark on the black square seal.
"Go!" Along with this stooped cultivator's shout, the black square seal suddenly smashed forward, colliding with the two Black Wind Owls that were charging over with overbearing momentum. The sound of bones shattering rang out from their bodies as they fell from the sky. At the same time, the azure-robed cultivator's flaming dagger also chopped down a Black Wind Owl.
After retrieving the black seal, the stooped cultivator continued to charge forward while the azure-robed cultivator used his flaming dagger to kill the evading Scavenger Condors and Black Wind Owls. In only ten breaths of time, the ten demon beasts were easily killed by the two cultivators.
The stooped cultivator didn't even bother to use his defensive magic artefact, and the azure-robed cultivator just so happened to be able to kill the Scavenger Eagle and Black Wind Owl that were about to attack the stooped cultivator. It was clear that the two of them were very experienced in both killing demon beasts and cooperating with each other.
"It would be great if there were a few more of them."
Looking at the corpses of the Scavenger Condors and Black Wind Owls that had fallen to the ground, the azure-robed cultivator sighed.
"What's that!?"
However, at this moment, a few cultivators who were squatting a thousand feet away from the manor let out a cry of surprise in unison.
Monk Goldring and the others all raised their heads and saw a golden streak of light shoot towards the Ancientscholar Manor with astonishing speed like a shooting star. Behind the golden streak of light were thirty to forty crimson streaks of flame.
Behind the golden streak of light and crimson streaks of flame, over forty black silhouettes appeared and tore through the air.
The golden streak of light and crimson streaks of flame were too fast for them to be seen clearly. But a short moment later, the forty black silhouettes were clearly visible. They all looked like little monkeys, but had a pair of reddish wings on their backs.
"Low grade grade four Winged Apes!"
When Huang Tianya and the others clearly saw the black silhouettes, they all revealed astonishment.
A short moment later, the golden streak of light and crimson streaks of flame were finally faintly discernible. The golden streak of light was actually a small bird flickering with lightning. Behind it were several foot-long flying ants that emitted dense fiery auras.
"Lightning Birds?"
"Bone-Devouring Flying Fire Ants!"
When they saw the two demonic beasts, all the cultivators of the Four Seas Hall had a change in expression.
Lightning Birds were only grade two demon beasts. Their only distinguishing feature was their astonishing speed. Moreover, these demon beasts didn't seem to need to breathe and didn't even have nostrils. They could pass through many places filled with poisonous Qi. As such, they were often used by sects to send messages or enter poisonous Qi filled areas to gather spirit herbs. Just like the previously unsealed Mi Tian Valley, there were originally cultivators and sects who wanted to use Lightning Birds to enter and gather spirit herbs. However, Lightning Birds didn't have high intelligence and could only distinguish a limited number of spirit herbs. In addition, the Decaying Spirit Aurora that even Lightning Birds couldn't resist was everywhere inside. Therefore, most of the Lightning Birds that entered died inside. Later on, no one dared to make such an attempt. After all, Lightning Birds were very rare and extremely fast, making them extremely difficult to catch. The market price of a Lightning Bird was around twenty thousand spirit stones.
Lightning Birds weren't much of a threat, but Bone-Devouring Flying Fire Ants were grade five low-grade demon beasts. Not only were these fire-attribute demon beasts extremely fast, even the majority of half-spirit grade magic treasures couldn't catch up to them. Most importantly, when these Bone-Devouring Flying Fire Ants attacked cultivators, they would immediately drill into the cultivator's body and bones. Unless the cultivator was ruthless enough to immediately cut out that bone, the Bone-Devouring Flying Fire Ants would gnaw all the bones in the body and die without a doubt.
"The other party is very likely a cultivator who knows the art of controlling beasts!"
With a drastic change in expression, Huang Tianya, who was usually the most calculating, suddenly shouted, "Brothers, quickly return to the manor to defend!"
"There seems to be something on the Lightning Bird's claws!"
When the twenty to thirty cultivators lying in ambush outside the manor also rushed back to the manor with a change in expression, the green-robed cultivator standing on the wall had sharp eyes and suddenly shouted.
Huang Tianya, Monk Golden Ring, and the others raised their eyes and looked over. Sure enough, they saw that the Lightning Bird's claws seemed to be holding a cloth-like thing.
"Mysterious Yin Demonic Claw!"
Amidst the uncertain changes in his eyes, Huang Tianya stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air. A wave of green-black Yin Qi surged out and instantly sprayed out sixty to seventy feet away, forming a five-fingered green-black ghost claw. It grabbed the pigeon-sized Lightning Bird and pulled it down.
When it grabbed down, the lightning on the Lightning Bird's body had already disappeared and its body was black. It was actually killed by the Yin Qi on the green-black ghost claw.
