Chapter 273: Strange Tales of the Crimson Feather (Part 2)
Not only was the Mr. Black shocked, but upon hearing the former’s voice, the four Dragon Hunters’ eyes were filled with disbelief. The Mr. Da Han’s face showed overwhelming surprise. He glanced at the Sun Wukong Boy beside him, trying to understand something.
“Boss, it seems they killed their Priest.” Looking at the familiar figure, the Sun Wukong Boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, his pale cheeks revealing a smile of relief.
“The crow feathers are drifting like this, and that rich bloody color… the other party has killed many wicked people.” Beside the Sun Wukong Boy, the Frame-less Girl muttered, she could feel the murderous aura on Su Jiu…
As expected, her teacher was absolutely right, this person was the rumored Elder of the Night Watchers!
Looking at the four shocked gazes below, Su Jiu shrugged. Then, the flame mark between her brows lit up slightly, her figure moved, and she gracefully swooped down, finally appearing before everyone. With a casual backhand, she drew the Crimson Flame Sword and smiled at the Sun Wukong Boy and the other: “Not bad, you’ve persisted for so long. You’re much stronger at the War General Level than before.”
Scratching his head and chuckling foolishly, the Sun Wukong Boy looked at the rather dashing face not far away, and his tense heart finally relaxed… Su Jiu’s overwhelming display had left an indelible impression on both of them, and now she had even killed their Priest ahead of time.
“You… you actually killed Priest Mingli! Do you know that he is directly subordinate to the Sir Singer?! I will definitely report this to my superiors.” Crying out coldly twice, the Mr. Black’s face showed a faint expression of anger and surprise, and then he moved with the wind, about to turn and leave.
Su Jiu paid no attention to his warning. She turned around, glanced at the external Qi appearing at his feet, and then slowly walked out. Her figure kept stretching, and finally, she landed directly behind him. With a slight flick of her sword, sparks flew, and in a posture like holding a lamp to read a sword, she instantly pierced his chest, the Crimson Flame spewing wildly from the sword tip.
“Who exactly are you?!”
Suffering such a heavy blow, before dying, the Shadow’s face finally showed horror, and he hoarsely shouted.
“Night Watcher, Jiu.”
In the white snow hillside, crimson flames burned fiercely, and a gentle female voice drifted into the Shadow’s ears, causing his pupils to suddenly contract. He wanted to say something more but was unable to speak at all.
“I’m leaving first. You should also leave here as soon as possible. There’s likely only one Priest-level figure here… If you need anything in terms of clues or testimony, you can find me at the Emerald Feather Pavilion.”
Glancing at the four stunned people again, Su Jiu put away the Priest’s corpse and said with a smile. Then, a Crimson Flame external Qi sword appeared under her feet, and with a light touch, she shot out.
She had not forgotten that Bai Zhi, who was “injured,” was still waiting for her to treat in the alchemy shop. With her small physique, bleeding too much would not be good.
As for the birds and Floating Life Blossom, she would try selling them at the auction house mentioned by that Vice Principal.
In the sky, Su Jiu slowly took out her phone and looked at the auction house picture previously sent by the Vice Principal of Chuan Yu University. She gently clicked on it, her gaze falling on the small blue-green grass in the center of the picture, and then looked into the spiritual space at the white cocoon.
Nine-Transformation Soul-Returning Grass… She could feel that only by watering the cocoon with that medicine would Bairnis truly undergo a complete transformation.
“Only… a Priest-level? Is Boss’s level already this high?”
The Sun Wukong Boy looked up at the figure that had already turned into a meteor and couldn’t help but smack his lips, taking a sharp breath and saying. Not only him, but the three people beside him also showed a look of astonishment to varying degrees.
“Whoosh, her speed is too fast…”
Just as everyone was marveling, Senior Du also arrived late. She slowly landed and swept her gaze over the bodies of the Ancient God Sect disciples who had already turned into corpses. Then, she looked at the four people who were sighing with emotion and gave instructions: “Listen to me, the Lin family is involved in colluding with the Ancient God Sect. After returning, we will immediately contact the local Dragon Hunter organization.”
“Du Du… but the Lin family still has the Lin Family Patriarch. With our strength and the local Dragon Hunters, it might be dangerous to investigate thoroughly. We should wait for Professor Mo’s support.” The muscled Dragon Hunter Mr. Da Han was slightly stunned and then said with some apprehension.
“No need.”
Senior Du slowly shook her head, turned around, and waved for everyone to follow her away. Her footsteps landed on the branches, and looking at the snow forest ahead, she slowly said amidst everyone’s confusion: “The Lin Family Patriarch is already dead. That adult just now resolved him.”
The other four quickly reacted, their expressions instantly becoming solemn. Upon hearing the word “adult,” the muscled Mr. Da Han seemed to understand something. His eyes tightened slightly, and he whispered: “Could that person really be from that organization…”
Before he could finish speaking, Senior Du stopped him with her gaze. He immediately understood something, swallowed, his expression slightly changed, and he whispered to the people beside him: “Everyone, forget what I just said.”
…
After leaving the Luoyun Mountain area and traveling for about half an hour, a city appeared amidst the mountains and ridges. Su Jiu arrived at the pavilion.
Under the slightly surprised gaze of the woman in the green qipao, she slowly walked upstairs. Seeing Bai Zhi and the other two chatting around the stove, Su Jiu glanced at Bai Zhi’s face, which had returned to its fair complexion, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Zhi noticed Su Jiu’s arrival, gently waved her sleeve, gestured for the Little Shop Owner to shush, and then looked at Su Jiu, saying softly: “Who are you going to be sweet-talking with now?”
Su Jiu’s mouth twitched slightly. She felt that Bai Zhi wasn’t injured at all, but rather her backside was itching…
After a brief glance, Bai Zhi found that Su Jiu was not injured, so she turned away and stopped looking, curling up into a ball and remaining silent. She was a proud and noble Demon Lord!
However, her gaze would occasionally sneak a peek at Su Jiu.
The Little Shop Owner immediately looked over, quickly poured a cup of hot tea, handed it over, and asked with a smile: “How was it? Was the harvest good?”
“Caught about a hundred, lucky enough…”
Su Jiu nodded with a slight smile. Then, her gaze fell on the Little Shop Owner beside her. She noticed that he was holding feathers of different colors, and the feathers had a faint glow and different colored elements on them, so she asked curiously: “Boss, what are these feathers?”
“About a hundred… Hmm, you’re quite fast. You’re back after only having a few sips of this tea.”
The Little Shop Owner was slightly startled, but thinking of Su Jiu’s strength, catching a hundred different types of birds was not a problem, so he was not too surprised and smiled as he explained: “These are all feathers from bird demons above the War God level, but not the flight feathers… I’m just interested in these things, so I stayed here hoping to find feathers left behind by that Raging Flames Divine Bird.”
Upon hearing the Little Shop Owner’s words, Su Jiu’s curiosity was immediately piqued. She held the teacup and took a small sip, then continued to ask: “Boss, have you researched anything by collecting so many feathers from War God-level birds?”
“I can’t say I’ve researched anything… but if we’re talking about bird demons, the experts and professors in those universities are generally inferior to me.”
The Little Shop Owner gently put down the cup of tea in his hand and smiled confidently. Then, he took out a black feather with flashes of lightning on it. He gently touched it and began to introduce: “Lightning Cloud Lark, an Initial Stage Battle God Level demon. It lives deep in the clouds, and its body can float by borrowing the clouds. It’s huge yet fast as lightning… The most likely place to find them is in the southwest of our country, Zhenyun Province, Huangmeng Township, An District.”
Originally, Su Jiu was just listening for fun, but when the other party actually provided the specific location, her eyes widened slightly, and she asked with surprise: “Boss, how did you calculate their specific location using feathers?”
She didn’t know if the feather in her hand was from the Raging Flames Divine Bird. If she had a chance, she might try to give it to this shop owner. Her avatar still needed to awaken after the War King level. Demons even higher than Initial Stage Battle God Level would require their flight feathers…
This was not much easier than climbing to heaven. It was better to try her luck and ask.
“Before, I used to take the feathers to a old friend of mine in Modu to get them analyzed. Now, I basically do it myself. By inferring the corresponding War God demon tribes from the feathers, many War God Level demons are derivative descendants purchased at the cost of bloodline enhancement. As long as the connection between the two is confirmed, it’s not difficult to locate the demons.” The Little Shop Owner said confidently. At his age, he had already discovered countless demon strongholds, but then he slowly shook his head and sighed slightly.
“However, one thing is very regrettable, which is that I only have feathers from Initial Stage Battle God Level bird demons here. It’s very difficult to conduct other research.”
Seeing the Little Shop Owner sighing, Su Jiu immediately stopped hiding and took out the crimson feather from her pocket, gently handing it over. She asked with some doubt: “Boss, can you see if this feather belongs to the Flame Phoenix Sparrow…”
“Flame Phoenix Sparrow? It looks a bit like it…”
Hearing Su Jiu’s voice, the Little Shop Owner looked over and gently took the feather. His gaze roamed over the veins of the feather, narrowing his eyes, and he picked up the metal monocle beside him, looking carefully, and muttered to himself.
“Should be, right?”
After a moment of thought, he rummaged through the cabinet beside him and took out a feather full of fire elements. He lowered his head, his somewhat shrewd eyes constantly scanning.
“However, the feeling of this energy is not right. The energy on this feather is too soft, completely different from the violent aura of the Flame Phoenix Sparrow. It’s just that the energy has been depleted to almost nothing… it’s impossible to determine the specific level.”
After a long comparison, the Little Shop Owner frowned slightly and gave a somewhat ambiguous answer, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes:
“This is not the feather of the Flame Phoenix Sparrow, but… their relationship is that of derivative species. As for who is whose derivative, I need to conduct more detailed research with some professional Alchemy Masters… However, it can be confirmed that the owner of this feather’s rank is definitely not low!”
