38: Death situation

The Qingyun Mountain Range is vast. Looking out, it was a sea of green, with endless forests and countless Peaks. How big it exactly was, no one knew.

They only knew that the Yao Beasts in the Qingyun Mountain Range were inexhaustible.

Rumor had it that there were even Golden Core Demon Kings deep within the mountain range, which made no one dare to venture in and measure the Qingyun Mountain Range.

Lin Shiming gazed north. He knew that the Huang Family was attacking the Earth Tyrant Bear there, preparing to occupy a High Grade third-tier Spiritual Vein.

Next to him, the Grand Elder and the others were still pondering how to capture a Cultivator from the Huang Family for soul-searching.

But Lin Shiming knew the Huang Family wouldn't give them a chance.

Unless the Clan Leader came, with his Peak Foundation Establishment Middle Stage strength, it would be impossible.

Suddenly, Lin Shiming remembered that he still had a Golden Luan Eagle Yao Beast.

Although the Golden Luan Eagle was not yet an adult and was only a Low Grade second-tier Yao Beast, its flight was completely fine, and the current Huang Family wouldn't bother with a bird flying high in the sky.

Most importantly, he only needed to put on a show for the Lin Family elders.

"Grand Uncle, I have a Golden Luan Eagle Yao Beast. It's extremely intelligent, and its eyesight is excellent. It can definitely help us scout out the Huang Family's situation!" Lin Shiming had an idea and stepped forward to suggest to Lin Yuqing.

Then, he released the Golden Luan Eagle from his spirit beast pouch.

Next to him, the Red-haired Demon Monkey in the spirit beast pouch immediately showed signs of excitement, clearly wanting to come out for some air, but Lin Shiming sternly warned it with his Divine Sense.

"Shiming, you also raised a Golden Luan Eagle? I thought you only raised a mantis Spirit Beast!" Lin Yuqing was also pleasantly surprised as he examined the Golden Luan Eagle.

Cultivators flying on swords or traveling by ground would be detected by other Cultivators' Divine Sense and then attacked.

But if it was a Golden Luan Eagle high in the sky, the Huang Family really wouldn't notice it.

Furthermore, one should know that the high altitudes of the Qingyun Mountain Range were the Domain of spirit birds, and there might even be Purple Mansion Great Demons.

The Huang Family Cultivators wouldn't fly into the sky to kill a Low Grade second-tier Yao Beast.

"Seventh Grand Uncle took me to buy it!" Lin Shiming said with a smile, stroking the Golden Luan Eagle's head.

He then took out a jade bottle, gave the Golden Luan Eagle a sip of spirit water, patted its wings, and watched as it squawked and spread its wings to soar.

With the spirit contract, Lin Shiming could easily command the Golden Luan Eagle to fly high into the sky, and then fly north.

The Golden Luan Eagle flew higher and higher, disappearing into the clouds in a blink of an eye.

The Golden Luan Eagle was gone, but Lin Shiming was still not calm. However, there was nothing he could do at the moment.

After about a quarter of an hour, amidst everyone's anxious waiting, a golden light pierced through the clouds, revealing the Golden Eagle's head, and it swooped down.

It landed on Lin Shiming's shoulder, squawking repeatedly.

Lin Shiming took out a bottle of spirit water for the Golden Luan Eagle to drink.

Then, with an anxious expression, he spoke:

"Grand Uncle, we're in trouble! The Huang Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators are also there, and they are occupying a place with extremely rich Spiritual Qi!"

"And, according to the spiritual sense fluctuations from the Golden Luan Eagle, the richness of the Spiritual Qi is not much less than Fangmu Mountain!"

Lin Shiming's last sentence completely shocked the Grand Elder and the Sixth Elder.

Although Lin Shiming spoke vaguely, they instantly thought of the Spiritual Vein, and that the Huang Family was preparing to find a wild Spiritual Vein to upgrade their Spiritual Vein.

This matter had probably started several years ago, otherwise, why did they find Peach Blossom Valley back then and, as if expecting it, brought two Foundation Establishment Cultivators?

When the Lin Family members thought of this, they felt an immense sense of dread.

The Huang Family's urgency clearly meant their Spiritual Vein was about to be upgraded!

"Lin Houyong, you are the fastest. Quickly fly at full speed to Qingyun Market and be sure to tell Seventh Uncle to come as soon as possible!" Lin Yuqing dared not delay for a moment. After speaking, he pulled out a High Grade second-tier Wind Talisman from his Storage Pouch.

This Wind Talisman could increase a Cultivator's escape speed and save their life at critical moments.

But at this moment, they couldn't stay. If the Huang Family seized the Spiritual Vein first, everything would be too late.

Lin Houyong didn't hesitate. He immediately pressed the Wind Talisman, transforming into a Spirit Light that enveloped him, and once again soared on his sword. He felt as if he were riding the wind, disappearing into the sky in a blink of an eye.

"Shiming, can you have your Golden Luan Eagle scout around and find the Huang Family's exact location? We can't just sit here and wait!" Lin Yuqing then turned to Lin Shiming.

"When Seventh Uncle arrives, we will catch them all in one fell swoop!" Lin Yuqing finished, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

Lin Yuqing naturally wanted to repay the ambush and casualties a hundredfold.

"Grand Uncle, if the Huang Family hasn't used a Formation or a Spirit Concealing Talisman, then yes!" Lin Shiming nodded. The Golden Luan Eagle's scouting ability was decent, but if a Formation covered the area, it really wouldn't be able to find anything.

The Golden Luan Eagle squawked again and flew off towards the jungle hills ahead... In a dense jungle, a silver-horned deer was leisurely strolling, sniffing the air from time to time, its eyes darting around intelligently.

"Hiss!" Suddenly, a sound of rushing air came.

Before the silver-horned deer could react, a shimmering Spirit Sword pierced through it!

The deer's head flew, splashing a large amount of blood.

Under the tree, a Spiritual Qi fluctuation occurred, and then several yellow-robed middle-aged men emerged from under the tree and collected the deer's head.

The leader was a slightly plump middle-aged man. If Lin Shiming and the others were here, they would realize that this person was the current head of the Huang Family, Huang Lishan.

Huang Lishan did not look at the corpse of the Medium Grade second-tier Yao Beast, the silver-horned deer, but rather looked into the Void Realm, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Huang Ligong, you said that eagle appeared twice, coming and going, and the Lin Family is also over there..."

The white-bearded Daoist Robe Cultivator next to him stroked his white beard and frowned deeply.

The white-bearded Daoist Robe Cultivator was named Huang Ligong, the ninth in the Huang Family's 'Li' generation. He was a few years younger than Huang Lishan, but preferred to maintain his original physical age.

"Third Brother, the Lin Family has never raised a Golden Luan Eagle, but I feel something is amiss. The Lin Family's calm is too abnormal!"

"Third Brother, Ninth Brother, what's there to hesitate about? We still have a Purple Mansion Talisman Treasure. Let's just eliminate a few of the Lin Family members!" The dark-faced Cultivator next to them had long been displeased.

Seeing that the Huang Family members were all thinking about the Golden Luan Eagle, he spoke directly.

In his opinion, the Lin Family was merely relying on the name of Zi Xuan Sanren of the Qingxuan Sect, but in this desolate place, even if the Lin Family Cultivators were flayed alive, no one would know.

The disparity in strength was too great.

"Let's deal with them! It is indeed a bit abnormal!" Huang Lishan extended his foot and stomped on the silver-horned deer's body. With a sudden force, the long deer's corpse exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

"Six Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level, one Talisman Treasure. They are doomed!"
