83: Delivering again

Suddenly,

“Whoosh!”

A loud bang echoed in the sky.

An arrow shot through the air, its bowstring twanging like a thunderclap.

“Li!”

An eagle cried out in agony.

The black eagle was shot in the wing and plummeted from the sky, falling into a patch of mountain forest.

When the eagle landed, its wing was broken, but it still struggled to flap its wings, wanting to fly again.

The next second, a shadow suddenly descended from the sky, grabbing the eagle’s neck and twisting it fiercely.

“Crack!”

The struggling eagle instantly lost its Qi.

“Patrol Mountain Eagle, huh, you came at just the right time.”

A sinister laugh rang out.

A burly man with bronze rings on his hands, arms strong enough to outrun a horse, and a diagonal Scarface across his face, his eyes gleaming, landed on the Patrol Mountain Eagle’s talons.

There was a red ribbon tied to a scroll there.

The big man grabbed it, finding a sealed letter inside, which he tore open and unfolded.

The next second, his eyes widened.

“Damn it.”

He didn’t recognize the words on it.

At this moment, horses galloped through the forest, approaching with shouts.

More than twenty figures quickly appeared.

“Scarlet Flood Dragon, sir.”

Scarlet Flood Dragon was just a code name, with new people replacing the old.

Before him, this Scarface, nine feet tall and appearing to be cast from gold and iron, was the new Scarlet Flood Dragon.

“Let this envoy see, what does the letter say?” Scarface handed the letter to his subordinate.

One by one, they shook their heads, not recognizing it.

“Useless, I told you to read more books, read more books.”

“Sir, this should be a secret document from the Sky Patrol Division, ordinary people wouldn’t understand it,” a subordinate said innocently.

Scarface narrowed his eyes, and with a flick of his hand, the letter disappeared, then his large eyes stared straight ahead, a cold glint flashing.

“Qingshan County is just ahead. The Venerable One said that a Fourth Heavenly Gate martial artist appeared there, and our mission is to be a hidden stake, to block the news from entering and exiting this city. Hide yourselves well, understand?”

Now that the Divine Cult was assaulting Baidi City, such a person suddenly appeared, killing four envoys and losing an important item, which greatly angered the Divine Cult’s Venerable One. This was like a nail stuck in their rear. If this person attacked Baidi City from both front and back, it would cause the Divine Cult to be attacked from both sides.

Therefore, this eyesore must be removed.

The first step was to externally blockade the city, turning it into an isolated island.

Although the Fourth Heavenly Gate was powerful, he was ultimately just one person. If he were lured away, the common people would be lambs to the slaughter.

Presumably, this person would be firmly pinned down here!

Just waiting for the army to arrive.

Hehe, by then...

Scarface laughed, then waved his hand.

“Disperse!”

“Yes!”

The soldiers responded and scattered into the dense forest ahead.

Soon, these people broke into smaller groups and disappeared into the dense forest.

Scarface watched his subordinates leave.

Suddenly, he turned around, his fierce eyes looking up at a nearby tree.

He saw a yellowish-green little bird standing on a branch, its ruby-like eyes tilting its head, staring at him.

Scarface opened his mouth, revealing a set of white teeth, and spat.

A white stream shot out, shattering the tree.

The yellowish-green little bird vanished without a trace.

“Haha!”

Scarface burst into laughter and disappeared from his spot.

However, not long after, among the fallen tree branches, the yellowish-green little bird struggled to fly out from the branches.

It flew low for a while, then fell to the ground again.

Then, it struggled to fly up and fall again.

…………

Qingshan County, Chen Yuan’s small courtyard.

The two sat under the pavilion by the pond in the small courtyard, their gazes strange, watching the female who was pouring them tea.

“Please, both of you, have some tea! Chen brother should still be Cultivating,” Fang Qingzhu offered the tea, seemingly like the mistress of the house.

“What is the Young Miss’s relationship with my brother?” Lian Nishang asked directly, with a hint of scrutiny.

“For certain reasons, I need to stay at Chen brother’s place for a period of time,” Fang Qingzhu said, observing the red-clothed female before her, whose eyebrows and eyes were full of heroic spirit.

Lian Nishang nodded, but still said,

“If the Young Miss needs a place to stay, you can tell me!”

“Thanks!”

Beside them, Qin Hu, the burly man with a bushy beard, listened to the two females’ conversation and always felt something was off, so he just focused on drinking his tea.

However, he glanced at the Purple-Clothed Woman out of the corner of his eye, feeling a bit surprised. This female was no ordinary person; her Qi was obscure, and he couldn’t quite see through her.

He also didn’t know where Chen brother had brought her from.

As for the two of them, after a night of healing, their injuries had stabilized somewhat. Not long after dawn, they had agreed to come and find Chen Yuan to discuss future matters.

However, Chen Yuan was currently in seclusion in the inner room.

The Purple-Clothed Woman in the courtyard was drinking tea, which led to the current scene.

At this moment, the three sat under the pavilion, no one spoke, and the air became silent.

Fang Qingzhu, however, seemed completely unconcerned, drinking tea while teasing the Little Squirrel in her arms.

It was like the leisurely pleasure of a Young Miss from a noble family, and she was quite content with it.

“This little fellow is Chen brother’s Contracted Demons, right? Does the Young Miss like it so much?”

Qin Hu saw the silence in the air and used it as an excuse to start a conversation.

“Hmm, this little thing used to be mine, but I didn’t expect it to end up as Chen brother’s Contracted Demons.”

“I heard that Contracted Demons share a mental connection with their master. If something happens, the master will sense it?”

“Yes, this is a skill of our Patrolling Mountain Commandant,” Qin Hu nodded.

No sooner had he spoken,

A powerful aura suddenly shot out from inside the house.

A golden light flashed, and the three’s eyes blurred.

Chen Yuan’s figure appeared.

Chen Yuan frowned, his eyes looking south.

Then he flashed, quickly disappearing from the small courtyard.

Seeing this, Qin Hu and Lian Nishang quickly got up, exchanged glances, and hurried after him.

They had seen Chen Yuan’s expression just now, and their hearts tightened.

Given the current situation, they felt something was about to happen.

However, as soon as the two flew out of the courtyard, they quickly realized that Chen Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

Only then did they realize that the three of them were not on the same level at all.

After a dozen breaths, Chen Yuan appeared a few miles away.

He saw a yellowish-green little bird lying on the path, still two or three miles from the city, unable to get up no matter how it struggled.

A golden light appeared, blurring a few times in the air, then appeared close by. He then squatted down and held the little bird in his hands.

“Chirp, chirp!”

The little bird chirped weakly a couple of times, its feathers stained with scarlet blood.

Chen Yuan blew, and a golden Qi enveloped the yellowish-green little bird.

Then his face darkened, and his feet suddenly exploded.

He shot rapidly towards the south.

In a moment, Chen Yuan’s figure silently appeared at the spot where the group of people had just disappeared.

He saw the corpse of the Patrol Mountain Eagle with its neck twisted, squatted down, and grabbed its talons to look, finding them empty.

He naturally knew that the Patrol Mountain Eagle was a messenger of the Sky Patrol Division.

It seemed to have been intercepted halfway.

“Heh, my Dao Seed True Form is still a bit short. It seems someone else has come to deliver goods!”

His eyes flashed with cold light, and his Mud Pill trembled as he gave an order.

“Find this group of people for this Commandant!”
