Chapter 55: Intent on Taking Qing Lin!
"Brother Gu Fei, what's wrong?"
Noticing Gu Fei's expression, Little Fairy Doctor asked in surprise. She speculated that Gu Fei might have sensed someone approaching.
"Someone is coming our way!"
Gu Fei's relaxed tone put Little Fairy Doctor at ease.
"Who could it be?" she wondered aloud, gazing toward the distant sky.
At this moment, Qing Lin opened her eyes, her expression slightly unusual. She had clearly sensed that the approaching presence from afar seemed to share a connection with her bloodline.
A green figure gradually appeared in the sky before them. Though her face was hidden beneath a green veil, her figure alone suggested that she was likely attractive.
Sensing the figure's cultivation level, Gu Fei guessed that this woman was likely Lü Man from the Sky Serpent Mansion. He surmised that she had come for Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
"Indeed, it is the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. It seems Bai Ya's senses were correct," Lu Man murmured, her eyes locking onto Qing Lin's, noticing the three small black dots in her pupils. Satisfied, she nodded and smiled. As she approached, she assessed the youth and his companions, noting the formidable sixth-rank flying beast they possessed. "I didn't expect to see someone in the Jia Ma Empire with a sixth-rank flying magical beast." Lu Man feels surprise. Emotion value +15
Instinctively, Xiao Yi Xian shielded Qing Lin behind her, warily watching the suspicious woman. She immediately understood that this woman had come for Qing Lin's Triple Jade- Green Snake Flower Pupils.
"Qing Lin, be careful!"
Hearing this, Lu Man looked at Qing Lin, who was hiding behind Xiao Yi Xian, and laughed meaningfully, "Hehe, this little girl's name is Qing Lin? What a lovely name!"
In the sky, Lu Man moved closer. She knew that these three young people, possessing a sixth- rank flying magical beast, must have some significant background. However, the leading youth only seemed to have decent strength, and nothing more.
"You can rest assured," Lu Man said with a slight smile. "I mean no harm. I've only come to take her to a place better suited for her cultivation. My sect will nurture her with full support." After all, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils she sought was something that the entire Sky Serpent Mansion coveted. She was intent on taking Qing Lin, no matter what.
As she spoke, Lu Man waved her hand, and the ground beneath Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor suddenly split open. In an instant, thick, green tree trunks burst from the earth, swiftly intertwining to form two wooden cages, imprisoning them.
Though startled, Qing Lin remained unharmed by the attack. The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately reacted, charging at Lu Man like a meteor. However, she deftly evaded the assault and made her move towards Qing Lin.
Just as Lu Man was about to succeed, an ominous feeling enveloped her.
"Boom!"
With a slight noise, Gu Fei, who had been trapped in the wooden prison, somehow appeared beside Qing Lin, his deep eyes fixed on her.
"What?!"
Lu Man feels panic. Emotion value +15
Seeing that this teenage boy had broken through her trap in an instant, usually calm Lu Man, showed a hint of panic beneath her veil. The hand she had extended toward Qing Lin was easily swatted away by Gu Fei.
She had not held back and had used all her strength, yet Gu Fei had brushed her off with a simple swipe!
Feeling the immense power behind Gu Fei's casual slap, Lu Man became extremely cautious.
Lu Man feels fear. Emotion value +15
"What's going on here?"
Her heart filled with doubt, she began to question Gu Fei's true strength. However, the allure of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was too tempting for her to back down.
"I can't be reckless in the Jia Ma Empire. I need to end this quickly!"
Lu Man realized that besides facing Gu Fei, a mysterious powerhouse, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was also assisting. Though it was only a sixth-rank magical beast, it was still formidable, especially since she couldn't gauge Gu Fei's strength.
Without hesitation, she pulled out a whistle and quickly blew it. Instantly, a sharp, peculiar sound wave spread through the sky.
"Boom!"
Shortly after the whistle was blown, a rumbling sound echoed from the distant forest. Then, a massive beast, nearly ten meters long, which had been resting leisurely, suddenly opened its eyes upon hearing the whistle. It soared into the sky, heading swiftly towards their location, casting a massive shadow over the ground.
The creature had a long, serpentine body, resembling a snake-like magical beast.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's speed was already impressive, but this beast's speed was even more astonishing.
Its giant tail flicked, moving as if it were teleporting, and in just a few flashes, it had arrived near them, confronting the Lion King.
Gu Fei stood in front of Qing Lin, his eyes narrowing as he studied the suddenly appeared
beast.
It was more appropriate to call this beast a giant snake. The snake had a massive, pitch black body, with strange, colorful patterns covering it, giving it a peculiar appearance.
On either side of its body were eight black and purple wings. Its head bore a black spiral horn, with a faint purple glow at the tip, indicating its toxicity.
The triangular pupils in its eyes were not filled with animalistic ferocity but rather with a cunning intelligence akin to that of humans.
Despite the arrival of this strange beast, Gu Fei's expression remained unchanged.
"I'll give you a chance to leave now, considering you mean no real harm to Qing Lin.
Otherwise..."
Gu Fei's emotionless tone caused Lu Man to hesitate once again.
Lu Man feels hesitation. Emotion value +15
She stared at Gu Fei, occasionally glancing to the side.
Meanwhile, the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor were already engaged in a fierce battle. The clash of two sixth-rank magical beasts was astounding, and the energy waves from their fight spread far and wide.
-
"This aura?"
At this time, hundreds of miles away in the sky, an old man sitting on a large flying beast suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze shooting towards the battlefield between the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.
The old man was none other than Jia Xing Tian, who had left the capital earlier.
The shockwaves from the battle between two sixth rank magical beasts were so intense that
Jia Xing Tian could sense them even from hundreds of miles away.
Sensing this, Jia Xing Tian quickly gave a few instructions to Yao Ye, who was with him, and then flew off alone, leaving the flying beast behind.
