The Will of a Flying Bird
The crowd fell silent in an instant.
Although Lan Haitan knew that Chen Mobai was a born battle immortal with amazing talent in Spell Duel, in his understanding, the latter had not yet experienced the battle at the Foundation Establishment. He would need to join the Sky Mending Group and be taken on several missions by Lan Haitian before he would be qualified to become a member of the Sixth Group.
However, the current situation is far beyond his expectations.
That guy, that sword strike just now, that was "Sword Light," wasn't it?
Wasn't he just at the Foundation Establishment? How many years has it been since a Foundation Establishment level cultivator has comprehended this level of Sword Cultivator cultivation? It must have been a thousand years!
"Why don't you work for another 10 or 20 years, and after you retire, let him take over as team leader? I'll be the deputy team leader, that's fine too."
Hearing his deputy team leader's slightly hesitant words, Lan Haitan couldn't help but chuckle.
Suddenly, the Ascension Cult woman, who had been eager to fight and challenge Lan Haitan, lost all hesitation after witnessing Chen Mobai kill Tuoba Wanyi with a single sword strike.
Suddenly, a sound.
He transformed into a streak of silver electricity and shot off Overseas at breakneck speed.
"She ran away, should we chase after her?"
A magnetic female voice sounded in his ear. Lan Haitan nodded and glanced at Chen Mobai, indicating that she should stay and handle the matters below.
"After all, she is a cultist. Although I scared her to death, just in case, I still need to see her leave the territory of the Immortal Sect with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."
After saying this, Lan Haitan harnessed his Primordial Magnetic Force and followed the silver current from a distance.
Chen Mobai saw the two people, whose auras were originally magnificent and whose confrontation caused the heavens and earth to tremble, disappear one after the other before his eyes, and couldn't help but scratch his head.
Perhaps they fear the aftermath of the battle might harm us, and instead want a decisive, bloody fight, so they've sought out a desolate place Overseas.
Just as he was thinking this, a pair of soft arms wrapped around his neck, and a warm breath rushed towards him.
"Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"
Yang Jing's fair cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes were wide open, and her delicate face showed the relief of surviving a disaster. She hugged Chen Mobai tightly with both hands and feet.
When she woke up, she saw Chen Mobai pull out the hairpin from his head and casually slash through the air, cutting the Half-Beast Monster who had easily subdued Qing Nü and Kong Feichen in two with a single sword stroke.
Young girls always admire heroes.
However, due to his childhood experiences, Yang Jing only dares to transform into a snake and hide in the shadows.
Today, Chen Mobai's invincible sword strike caused Yang Jing, whose heart had been frozen, to feel the burning pulse of his heart once again.
She felt a warm current flow through her entire body, and she trembled all over.
The deep purple Sword Light, as it slashed out to kill the enemy, seemed to break free from the shell that had imprisoned her for over twenty years, allowing her to once again feel an emotion called excitement.
This was the first time Chen Mobai had been so close to a girl. Although Yang Jing usually liked to wear a hat, long sleeves and pants, and cover herself up completely, she was actually a very pretty girl.
Feeling the softness and fullness pressed against him, he realized that Yang Jing's figure was far more outstanding than Qing Nü's.
"Don't talk nonsense. Qing Nü and I are just very good friends."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he immediately released his left hand from Yang Jing's slender waist, indicating that the danger had passed and she could get down.
"Brother-in-law, I can't fly."
Yang Jing refused to let go, but ultimately she was still a little shy like a girl. She opened her legs, which were originally wrapped around Chen Mobai, and leaned against him, tightly hugging his neck.
Chen Mobai also realized that, after all, she had not yet Foundation Establishment, and his cultivation was also insufficient, so he could not use spiritual power to carry people flying like Lan Haitan. He could only let Yang Jing hang around his neck.
"It's good that you're alright. Qing Nü was very worried about you. Call her first to let her know you're safe."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing finally came to her senses. She wrapped one arm around Chen Mobai's neck and took the phone with the other, dialing a number she knew by heart.
The two sisters talked on the phone, and naturally, they sobbed again. Qing Nü kept thanking Chen Mobai on the other end of the line.
"I only contributed a little bit, it's nothing to mention."
Chen Mobai was sincere in his words. Putting aside the ordinary Foundation Establishment who was instantly killed by his sword, he was definitely no match for the White-Eyed Woman who could stand up to Lan Haitan and cause a celestial phenomenon.
He felt that if he hadn't brought in Lan Haitan, a notorious figure, he would have been able to at most save his life if he had faced these two Ascension Cult members alone.
They definitely can't save Yang Jing.
My brother-in-law is so capable, yet so humble. My sister is so lucky.
When Yang Jing returned the phone to Chen Mobai, this was what he was thinking.
Let's wait here for a while.
After thinking it over, Chen Mobai felt it wouldn't be good to go back like this. After all, Lan Haitan had come to help, and the two of them should at least wait until dawn to do their part.
Moreover, although it was in self-defense just now.
But it was still murder after all.
This is in the Immortal Sect, I don't know how to solve this?
I want to ask Lan Haitan.
The deputy leader of Sixth Group, who was hiding not far away, felt that there was no need to waste Chen Mobai's time like this. After all, the group leader had driven out the people of the Ascension Cult and didn't know when they would return.
Beep beep beep! Just then, Chen Mobai's phone rang.
He thought it was Qing Nü calling again because she was worried, but he didn't expect it to be Lan Haitan.
"You guys go back first, I might not be able to come back for another two days."
Is this guy really that strong?
"They can even send text messages during a battle?" Chen Mobai was shocked, realizing he had underestimated Foundation Establishment Perfection expert. He knew he still had a lot to improve.
In order not to interfere with the ultimate showdown between Lan Haitan and the powerful figure, he did not reply to the message, intending to wait until the latter returned to discuss it in detail.
However, Chen Mobai realized at this time that he had become somewhat lax since he Foundation Establishment.
It seems that my lifelong dream has come true, and I've lost some motivation.
Let's set another small goal! Strive to reach the realm of Lan Haitan as soon as possible!
Once you reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, you can perfectly control and unleash the strongest power of the Sword Rainbow Light Splitting. At that time, if you encounter a powerful figure like the White-Eyed Woman of the Ascension Cult, you can fight alongside Lan Haitan!
Thinking that he shouldn't become a burden, Chen Mobai secretly made up his mind.
"Hold on tight, I'm taking you home."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing immediately hugged himself tightly again, his straight and slender legs about to jump up, but after being stared at by Chen Mobai, he stopped and lowered his head in embarrassment.
As the two disappeared, the head of a woman with short gray hair appeared in the void. She had snow-white skin and brown eyes, but the lower half of her face was covered by a black mask, making her features impossible to see.
Behind the head, another right hand appeared, holding a mobile phone.
She had just logged into Lan Haitan's account and Chen Mobai, telling them to go back first.
It's a very strange scene: a head and an arm floating in mid-air. If someone saw it, they might mistakenly think someone was practicing the Flying Corpse Art.
"Where did the team leader find such a monster?!"
As the deputy leader of the Sixth Group of Mending Heaven, Lin Yin was also a veteran of countless battles. The most dangerous battle was against an evil Sword Cultivator from the Ascension Cult. When the latter was fighting against Lan Haitan, he used the Sword Rainbow Light Splitting realm to split off a Sword Light and slash at her.
It was this Sword Light that almost turned her in two, just like Tuoba Wanyi had done earlier.
Sword Cultivator who has mastered the Sword Rainbow Light Splitting technique at the first level of Foundation Establishment can no longer be called a genius! Rather, he should be described as a "monster"!
But this is good, at least it ensures that the leader of Sixth Group will always be a "monster".
Lin Yin had no idea that Chen Mobai had no intention of joining the Sky Mending Group.
Without Lan Haitan's Primordial Magnetic Force to carry them, it was almost dawn when he and Yang Jing returned to Vermilion Cloud City.
Upon arriving at the apartment, the scene of Qing Nü and Yang Jing embracing was too beautiful, so Chen Mobai and Kong Feichen went to the balcony.
"Thank you, I owe you my life."
On the balcony, Kong Feichen spoke solemnly to Chen Mobai.
"It was just a small favor."
Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so serious.
Do you want to know the story of the three of us?
Just then, Kong Feichen suddenly said those words.
Now that you mention it, I'm actually quite interested.
Chen Mobai nodded.
The two sat on the small sofa on the balcony. Kong Feichen opened a bottle of beer and started talking while drinking.
"The three of us grew up in a laboratory. There were hundreds of children like us there. From the time we became conscious, each of us was like an insect, locked in a small, square room."
"Every so often, people would be taken out to do all sorts of experiments, and some of the children who went out never came back."
"I'm sure you've guessed it by now. The experiments there were about how to create top-grade Spiritual Root. We were the most successful creations from that place."
Hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. These stories, which he'd only ever seen on television, actually existed in reality? Kong Feichen lifted his sleeve, revealing a jet-black tattoo on his chest: [Yi Er].
"I am a second-level Spiritual Root user. It seems that the experiment was exposed, and a large group of people from the Immortal Sect came to clean up the mess."
"The three of us were sent to Orphanage in Vermilion Cloud City."
"However, before leaving that laboratory, we were all placed under a Curse Seal that forbade us from saying anything about it."
Chen Mobai felt very strange when he heard this.
"Then why are you able to tell me this?"
"I didn't study at the Imperial Medical Academy for nothing these past few years. I specifically cracked the code when I was Foundation Establishment, but that's why Foundation Establishment Failure."
"No wonder you haven't succeeded in Foundation Establishment, even with your talent and all the spiritual items we've prepared for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly understood, finally resolving a question that had been troubling him.
"Actually, there's something else that even my sister and Yang Jing don't know."
At this moment, Kong Feichen suddenly put down his cup and said something that Chen Mobai took to heart.
"What?"
"I have also cultivated Two Parts Divine Technique."
"Um?"
Kong Feichen looked at Qing Nü and Yang Jing, who were sleeping in each other's arms after crying themselves to sleep on the sofa, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
"When Yang Jing was a child, he thought that if he could transform into a snake, he could crawl out of the cube-shaped room and see the green grass and flowers outside."
"What I wish I could become a bird, so that I could soar freely in the blue sky and white clouds."
"The sealing technique that Captain Gan gave us was correct, but I tampered with the sealing technique I gave you."
Chen Mobai's expression changed drastically. He stood up and was about to make a move when he found his body sink and he was unable to move.
"Did you poison this beer? What did you do to Qing Nü and Yang Jing?"
It was only then that Chen Mobai realized something was wrong.
With Qing Nü and Yang Jing's cultivation levels, no matter how tired they were, they couldn't possibly fall into a deep sleep like this.
Even as Kong Feichen recounted such an important past event, he did not appear.
"It's not poison, but a medicine that can enhance the quality of spiritual energy. For the past four years, I've Chief in pharmacology at the Imperial Medical Academy, and my mentor has hailed me as a genius who will be able to change the landscape of the Immortal Sect pharmacology in the future."
Kong Feichen took out an empty glass bottle from his pocket and explained as he spoke.
"This spiritual herb is called 'Jie'. You can think of it as an upgraded version of Qi Condensing Fluid. It can solidify a cultivator's spiritual power. As we all know, the process of condensing Liquid Spiritual Power into a solid state is called Core Formation."
"My medicine simulates this process, but it only has one ten-thousandth of the efficacy of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill. However, it can allow you to experience a higher quality spiritual power a little earlier."
"However, since your physical body and Spiritual Sense are still only at the Foundation Establishment level, you cannot mobilize such high-quality spiritual power, and the effects of the medicine can only last for half a day."
After Kong Feichen finished speaking, he placed the empty glass bottle on the table in front of the two of them, and then drank the rest of the beer in one gulp.
"By the way, this medicine only works on Liquid Spiritual Power. For Qi Cultivation Cultivator like me, it's really just like beer."
What are you going to do?
While trying to come up with a solution, Chen Mobai also probed Kong Feichen's true intentions.
"It's nothing, I just can't let go of my past."
Kong Feichen pointed to the tattoo on his chest, laughed self-deprecatingly, his face slightly distorted, and his eyes suddenly turned dark gold.
"I practiced Two Parts Divine Technique, hoping to bury and seal away my past hatred, pain, and despair, but I overestimated myself. I simply couldn't do it."
Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai realized that Kong Feichen had been controlled by another personality within him.
Or perhaps, the two personalities reached a consensus through hatred.
"For the past few years, I have been searching for a solution to the Two Parts Divine Technique at the Imperial Medical Academy. The only way is to find the source of this Forbidden Technique: the God Devouring Technique."
As he spoke, Kong Feichen walked into the living room. He picked up Yang Jing from Qing Nü's arms on the sofa, covered Qing Nü with a blanket, and then went back to the balcony to activate a Talisman.
A silver ring of fire opened a portal in the void before the balcony.
"I'm leaving my sister in your care. I'll take her to get treatment."
After saying this, Kong Feichen led Yang Jing into the Silver Fire Ring.
Just then, a head with short gray hair appeared in mid-air, and Lin Yin silently slashed at Kong Feichen's neck with a dagger.
