"Go~" Quan Jie felt a little pained, but he still forced himself to urge the spirit bird onward. The Ruoling Bird flapped its wings unwillingly several times in midair before shooting toward the heights!
"Eh~" Before long, an even more astonished look appeared on Quan Jie's face. He hurriedly said to Qian Feng, "Senior Brother Qian, quickly report to the Golden Core senior. Two hundred or so sword cultivators have appeared ten miles away, most of them at the Sword Embryo stage. They look much like the few swordsmen from earlier, all scattering this way in defeat! And... half of these sword cultivators are female swordswomen! In this little brother's opinion, Qin Jian definitely will not be coming, or perhaps he has been drawn away by another challenge. Rather than wasting more time, we might as well gain something from this..."
"Good!" Joy appeared on Qian Feng's face upon hearing this. Naturally, he did not dare recklessly sweep out his divine sense. Instead, he hastily flew away in search of Pan Hao.
According to their agreement, in order not to alert Qin Jian and expose their ambush, among these several hundred people, only the Golden Core cultivator could release divine sense. No one else was permitted to do so.
Just as Qian Feng left, the Ruoling Bird flew back down from the heights. The chill on its body had grown even stronger, and a thin layer of ice covered its entire body. By the time it reached above Quan Jie's head, it nearly fell straight down.
After Quan Jie took back the Ruoling Bird, he anxiously looked toward where Qian Feng had vanished. Directly above his head, several thousand zhang up in the sky, behind several clear white clouds, an eagle-like shadow flickered in and out of sight!
A "chirp~"
