142: Chapter 142 Bringing Two Chickens to Visit the Senior

Chapter 142: Bringing Two Chickens to Visit a Senior

Yinxian Village, deep within.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi sat cross-legged by the chicken coop, his hair and beard completely white, his face gaunt, but his eyes remarkably bright.

Ever since he lost a chicken last time, he swore he would catch that chicken thief!

To this end, he spared no expense in Spirit Stones and Materials, setting up eighty-one Restrictions around the chicken coop.

Each Restriction was personally laid out by him, layer upon layer, interlocked, so much so that even a Saint would not be able to approach unnoticed!

Let alone steal a chicken!

"This time, this old man wants to see who can steal my chickens!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's lips curled into a smug arc. He stroked his beard, his eyes filled with confidence.

Inside the chicken coop, the remaining Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens huddled together, trembling.

Although they possessed Void Tempering Realm cultivation, in front of Great Elder Yun Zhongzi, they were no different from ordinary poultry.

Ever since he lost a chicken last time, this old man had gone mad, guarding the chicken coop day and night without even blinking much.

His gaze, his Aura, was exactly like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Don't worry, with this old man here, no one can touch you," Great Elder Yun Zhongzi turned his head to look at the chickens in the coop, his tone gentle.

The chickens instinctively recoiled.

They always felt a pair of eyes watching them, a chilling sensation that made them... made their chicken feathers stand on end.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi didn't notice their unusual behavior. He closed his eyes again, his Divine Thought spreading out like a dense spiderweb, covering the entire chicken coop.

No rustle of leaves or blade of grass could escape his perception.

However—

Right at this moment!

"Pop."

An extremely faint sound came from the chicken coop.

The sound was so light, almost inaudible.

But who was Great Elder Yun Zhongzi?

A Peak Dao Seeking Realm powerhouse, whose Divine Thought covered dozens of miles around. No rustle of leaves or blade of grass could escape his perception.

The moment that "pop" sound rang out, he abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils contracting sharply!

"Not good!"

He suddenly turned his head, his gaze like lightning, shooting towards the chicken coop.

The next moment—

His face instantly turned ashen white.

In the chicken coop, where the Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens had been huddled together, a gap suddenly appeared.

The largest, brightest-feathered, and strongest-Aura Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chicken was gone.

Only two magnificent feathers remained on the spot, slowly drifting down from the air, shimmering with golden-red light under the sunlight.

"No—!!!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi let out a mournful shriek, his voice distorted, his entire body stiff as if struck by lightning.

He stared wide-eyed at the empty spot in the chicken coop, his mind a blank.

The chicken!

His chicken!

It was gone again!

"How is this possible... how is this possible?!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi sprang to his feet, trembling all over, his face livid, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had clearly set up eighty-one Restrictions!

Each Restriction was personally laid out by him, layer upon layer, interlocked!

Even a Saint would not be able to approach unnoticed!

But that chicken... was still gone!

Right under his nose!

Within the range of his Divine Thought!

Gone!

Without even leaving a shadow!

"You little thief!!!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi let out a long, mournful cry, his voice sharp, shaking the entire Yinxian Village violently.

His voice was filled with anger, unwillingness, and a hint of uncontrollable breakdown.

He, a dignified Peak Dao Seeking Realm powerhouse, just a step away from the Saint Realm, with Divine Thought covering dozens of miles, couldn't even protect a chicken?!

If this got out, where would Great Elder Yun Zhongzi put his face?

The Grand Elder of Yinxian Village couldn't even guard chickens!

What a humiliation!

What a humiliation!

The Cultivators of Yinxian Village ran out from all directions, looking at each other.

"The Grand Elder lost another chicken?"

"Didn't the Grand Elder personally guard them?"

"Who is so powerful that they can steal a chicken right under the Grand Elder's nose?"

"This chicken thief is too fierce..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! The Grand Elder is furious, don't provoke him!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi stood in front of the chicken coop, his eyes bloodshot, his chest heaving violently, his Killing Intent soaring to the sky.

"Little thief! Don't let this old man find you! Otherwise, this old man will definitely tear you to pieces!"

His voice echoed in the night sky, startling countless birds into flight.

"Young Yun."

An aged voice came from behind him, not loud, but clearly reaching Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's ears.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's body trembled, and he spun around abruptly.

He saw a figure appear behind him at some unknown point, standing with hands clasped behind his back, quietly watching him.

It was an old man with white hair, a gaunt face, and a completely white beard. He wore a simple green Daoist robe, and faint Dao runes circulated around him, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.

The Old Ancestor of Yinxian Village, Saint Xutian—Yun Xu.

"Old Ancestor!" Great Elder Yun Zhongzi quickly bowed, his voice trembling slightly, "This Disciple is incompetent, unable to even guard a few chickens. Please punish this Old Ancestor!"

Saint Xutian waved his hand and slowly walked to the chicken coop, his gaze falling on the two feathers slowly drifting down from the air.

The feathers were golden-red, shimmering with iridescent light under the sun, with faint flame patterns circulating and emitting subtle Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

He squatted down, extended a withered finger, gently picked up one of the feathers, and examined it closely before his eyes.

A deep glint flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

A moment later, he stood up, gently placed the feather back in its original spot, and turned to look at Great Elder Yun Zhongzi.

"No need to investigate."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi was stunned: "Old Ancestor? Do you mean..."

Saint Xutian stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking up at the sky, his gaze profound.

"The person who made the move has unfathomable cultivation. They are not someone you or I can provoke."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's pupils contracted sharply.

What was the Old Ancestor's cultivation?

Saint Realm!

The existence standing at the very Peak of the entire Southern Domain!

Even the Old Ancestor said "unfathomable" and "cannot provoke." What was the background of that chicken thief?

"Old Ancestor, could it be that even you..." Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's voice trembled.

Saint Xutian shook his head, not answering directly, merely saying faintly: "That person's cultivation is still above mine."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's heart tightened.

It was actually a Saint who made the move.

No wonder he couldn't detect the person's methods.

But why would a Saint steal a chicken?

This method was a bit too...

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi was silent for a moment, but his mood actually improved a lot.

It wasn't that he couldn't guard them, it was a Saint who made the move!

A Saint!

How could he possibly stop them?

It wasn't his fault!

At this moment, Saint Xutian turned to look at the remaining Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens in the coop.

The chickens huddled together, trembling, their eyes filled with terror.

"Pick two of the best, and follow me to visit a Senior."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi was startled, raising his head, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Visit a Senior?"

What kind of existence could be called a Senior by a Saint?
