160: Welcome New Members

"Great Master, spare my life!"

"I really haven't harmed anyone."

"After obtaining the Cultivation Technique, in order to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Cultivation Technique required a thousand human Cultivators' essence blood.

I was afraid of being retaliated against for killing people, so I always waited until those Cultivators had just died.

Then, from the mounds of earth, I would dig them out and take their final essence blood!

I was even afraid of being discovered, so after taking it, I would bury them back..."

"When I was Breakthrough to Golden Core, it not only required essence blood but also flesh, and I did the same thing!"

"Is it easy for me...? I've been at Golden Core for over a hundred years, making no progress.

Today was the first time I dared to act against the wind, and I encountered a Nascent Soul powerhouse..."

Ink Crow wiped his tears with his wings.

He said, feeling extremely wronged.

Jiang Ning: ...The little fox was about to burst out laughing.

She had never encountered such a Spirit Beast.

How could a Spirit Beast be so timid!

Help!

Jiang Ning also didn't expect that this crow would be even more cautious than him, which was truly unique in the cultivation world.

He wasn't worried about the crow lying.

Because when a person, even a Spirit Beast, lies, their Divine Soul will fluctuate slightly.

Enveloping someone with Divine Sense to observe them closely is impolite, but for a Spirit Beast, it was just right.

When this crow said these things, the only fluctuation in his Divine Soul was due to sadness and grievance.

If this crow wasn't a "Lying Great Master."

Jiang Ning was certain that the other party wasn't lying.

He asked in confusion: "What was your main purpose in robbing this spirit boat?"

"To eat people!" Ink Crow glanced at Jiang Ning, saw that Jiang Ning wasn't angry, and continued: "I've been stagnant at Early Stage Golden Core for many years.

But the Cultivation Technique requires devouring enough Cultivators, so I came up with this method.

As long as I rob this spirit boat, I can Breakthrough to Mid Golden Core Stage, my Lifespan will increase, and I'll gain many resources.

The result..."

"The result was being captured by my Revered Master!"

Xiao Bai added from the side.

Ink Crow nodded, "You're so smart, that's right, I was caught. I'm reporting my summary to you, the reason for the failure of this mission, in the end.

It's because my mindset wasn't good; I wanted to take a shortcut.

I should have been more cautious."

Xiao Bai was speechless... With the matter here resolved, Jiang Ning didn't want to drag it out.

He asked, and Ink Crow indeed commanded the Golden Winged Eagle to ambush and attack the Yingtong Merchant Guild's spirit boat.

Everything matched up.

In order not to delay this trip to the Cang Ling Domain.

Jiang Ning said: "Have all the Golden Winged Eagle withdraw."

"Okay!"

Ink Crow was delighted.

The Great Master gave him a job, what did this mean?

It meant he was the Great Master's person now!

From now on, they were all on the same side!

Just to be safe, he wanted to confirm.

"That... from now on..."

"Just stay in this Small World. Oh, by the way, I don't know your name. Her name is Xiao Bai, so you can just be called Xiao Hei."

Xiao Bai snorted softly.

A Golden Core Realm Cultivator suddenly joined the team, and she felt a bit of pressure.

But she wasn't afraid; she had backing.

Ink Crow... Xiao Hei... chuckled a few times, then sidled up to Xiao Bai and said ingratiatingly:

"Although I'm a few years older and my Realm is slightly higher than yours, you followed Revered Master first. From now on, I'll be considered your Junior, so please take care of me!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai's heart immediately brightened.

She nodded.

"Not bad, not bad. Just find me if you need anything."

"Got it!"

Jiang Ning watched Xiao Hei bring workplace culture into his Small World and successfully appease the little fox, and he sighed.

Everyone curses the boss, but everyone wants to be the boss... The little fox remained in the Small World as usual.

Jiang Ning took Xiao Hei back outside.

Worried that Xiao Hei might run away.

Jiang Ning glanced at Xiao Hei.

However, before he could even open his mouth, he saw Xiao Hei voluntarily hand over his Natal Divine Soul to him.

Jiang Ning thought, in a company, there's a reason why the boss favors his lackeys.

Having accepted Xiao Hei's Natal Divine Soul.

Jiang Ning said: "I'll transmit the portraits of a few people to you with my Divine Sense. Have the Golden Winged Eagle kill them, then come back."

"Got it!"

Xiao Hei didn't even ask why those people needed to be killed.

After all, obey the leader's orders, and don't speak of what the leader doesn't speak of!

...On the spirit boat.

Shen Jinhuan looked at the empty room, somewhat worried about Jiang Ning.

It wasn't that she worried about what the Golden Winged Eagle could do to Jiang Ning, but rather that Jiang Ning might encounter people from the Tiance Military Prefecture in the Xuanhuang Domain.

Once entangled, it would be another bitter battle.

Outside.

The Golden Winged Eagle were wreaking havoc.

They flew onto the deck, easily smashing doors with their sharp beaks, then surrounded and attacked Cultivators, devouring them.

Although these Cultivators, united, could always resist the Golden Winged Eagle, no one was willing to stand up and stop them.

Everyone had seen the treatment Zhao Rong received as the organizer.

This was a dirty society.

They were even more afraid that some "bad person" would emerge from their team and doom their entire group.

Just like that, the Golden Winged Eagle moved through the deck as if entering an unmanned territory, killing almost whoever they pleased.

One person who had been boisterous earlier, along with several others, hid in a room.

They trembled, praying that the Golden Winged Eagle hadn't checked this particular room.

What they feared most came true.

Clang—

The door shattered.

A huge, sturdy bird's beak appeared in the room.

Behind it were the eyes of the Golden Winged Eagle.

Seeing people in the room, the Golden Winged Eagle began to squeeze into the room.

Everyone gasped.

The Cultivator who had rushed out to criticize Zhao Rong earlier directly pushed the Cultivator in front of him towards the Golden Winged Eagle's mouth.

The other person was stunned.

Stared at by the Golden Winged Eagle, he was drenched in sweat!

This was a Second-Grade Foundation Establishment Stage Golden Winged Eagle; they were just small Qi Refining Realm Cultivators.

For a moment, his heart was ashen.

But he looked unwillingly at the person who pushed him.

"It's you again! You were the most vocal just now!"

"So what!"

That person showed no remorse, even thinking it was only natural.

"If you want to lead everyone to work, you have to show some ability, right? I didn't even pursue it when she failed, but she took it seriously!"

The Golden Winged Eagle's beak was right in front of him.

No matter how much that person said, it couldn't stop his life from reaching its end.

"Just wait for retaliation! One day, you'll be ground to dust!"

With that, he resignedly closed his eyes.

In his ear, was the voice of that petty person.

"I'm waiting for retaliation? Good people don't live long. My cultivation will definitely Breakthrough all the way, and my Lifespan will constantly increase. Maybe Fellow Daoist will be watching from below, green with envy!"

It didn't matter anymore.

Let him say whatever he wanted.

Hate!

He shouldn't have listened to these petty people's instigation just now.

After a few breaths... Eh?

A scream.

He opened his eyes and saw a bloody hole in the body of the rude person from earlier, his expression astonished, presumably from fright.

The other party no longer had any Life Qi... And that Golden Winged Eagle, he just happened to see it spread its wings and fly to another place... "Wha... what happened?"

The people in the same cabin recalled the scene and explained:

"The Golden Winged Eagle suddenly got excited, like it found money, and just killed him..."

Phew... That felt good.
