Golden Crow Sheds Its Feathers

Everything happened too fast. The two cultivators radiating light were shocked and tried to stop them, but it was too late.

The light arrow was incredibly fast; the Technique Method they instinctively cast couldn't keep up with it in time, and they could only watch helplessly as it disappeared into the distance.

The Three-Legged Crow was originally formed from the essence of the sun. Its three legs entered its belly, just like the blazing sun returning to its origin, and it disappeared instantly.

Zhaohuan did not stop; enduring the pain, he began to devour his own wings again.

Since he was a [Three-Legged Crow Feather], he ate all three legs and feathers of the Three-Legged Crow, thus ending his own life.

The experienced, bow-wielding monk finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted:

"How dare you, you brat?!"

The arrow of light rapidly expanded, transforming into countless crimson threads that completely sealed Zhaohuan's entire body.

Zhaohuan looked up and sneered, then closed his eyes and accepted his demise.

Although he had just reached the Purple Mansion, his [Three-Legged Crow Feather] Immortal Foundation was not something that could be cultivated overnight.

This ability is not tied to the character [yu]. Yu is just a form of transformation, which makes Zhao Huan take the form of a crow.

What truly sustains this Divine Ability is its three legs. These three legs are the source of the Three-Legged Crow's entire Dao essence; without them, it can never be reborn.

Even if I cannot escape death, I, Zhaohuan, will not easily grant your wish!

He didn't know what the person behind it was planning, but no matter what, as long as the three legs were destroyed, the value of his life would decrease by three points.

Even if it doesn't have too much impact on the overall situation, it can at least annoy this so-called Sunset Rosy Clouds Dao Lineage.

As he expected, Sunset Rosy Clouds and the other person were indeed heartbroken.

Zhaohuan burst into laughter and shouted:

"The sun will never be extinguished by him!"

He died shortly after speaking.

His Three-Legged Crow form began to disintegrate, like the sun falling into a sea of clouds, scattering into a sky full of rosy light.

The light was more magnificent than ever before, yet it also carried a desolate feeling of the sun setting in the west, a sorrow shared by all things.

The golden crow feathers all over its body floated and swayed in the rosy light, like a golden snowfall covering the entire Great Void.

In that instant, the black in Gao Yuning's eyes, hidden in Yuhong's sleeve, faded and turned white.

He has gone blind.

When Zhaohuan died, various spiritual objects scattered. However, no one in the surrounding Purple Mansion moved, but silently watched as the rosy light carried these spiritual objects towards the direction of Crimson Firmament Mountain.

As the spirit drifted about, the Great Void trembled, as if something resonated with it.

Yuhong was the first to react, and he shouted in his heart:

"[Radiant Bright Blessed Land]!"

After a few breaths, everyone present gradually noticed that the sound was echoing.

"Zhaohuan's Yang Feather has actually stirred up [Radiant Bright Blessed Land]!"

Those in the arena who possessed the Divine Ability destiny began to calculate, and after a moment, their faces revealed undisguised astonishment.

"The blessed land that was supposed to manifest in two months has actually appeared ahead of schedule?"

Yuhong that Li Zhengjun and the other two wouldn't understand, Yu Hong explained:

"Grotto-heavens are not revealed to the world, and are difficult for mortals to fathom. But blessed lands are different; they are places where spiritual Spiritual Qi is concentrated. The time when they manifest is related to the timing of heaven, the earth's veins, the spiritual atmosphere, and the fortune of the land. It can be said that a blessed land is the response of heaven and earth to the spiritual energy of a region, and its manifestation can be predicted down to the exact hour."

"However, the Radiant Bright Blessed Land manifested a month earlier than expected. Although it may seem like only a month's difference, it actually signifies a dramatic change in the spiritual energy of the surrounding world."

Just then, a voice came from somewhere in the Great Void.

"The spirit realm has changed, everyone! [The Golden Crow Sheds Its Feathers] is approaching. Make preparations now!"

After saying that, the owner of the voice left first.

The others in the Purple Mansion seemed to be deep in thought, their expressions varied, and they all dispersed one after another.

In high spirits, True Person Mingxin smiled at Yuhong from afar, then swaggered away on his escape light.

However, Luo Hao, the [Abyssal Water] True Person of the Luo Household, was a beat slower. He stood still for a moment before finally turning around and bowing respectfully to Yuhong from afar.

"Fellow Yuhong, Luo Yongying of our clan has recently offended us greatly. I... have imprisoned him. I hope you will forgive him."

Li Zhengchen didn't know why this person had suddenly changed, but Yuhong and Li Zhengjun had already guessed it.

Yuhong returned the greeting calmly, his tone composed:

"It's alright, there's no need to worry about the younger generation. The two families will have a long road of cooperation ahead, so this mere verbal dispute is nothing to be concerned about."

Luo Hao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and then rode away in his light.

In an instant, only Yuhong and the two Sunset Rosy Clouds True Person remained in the Great Void. He felt two cold gazes fall upon him.

Without showing any emotion, he first whispered a message to Li Zhengjun through his sleeve, then turned to the two men, his tone calm:

"Gentlemen, I have no intention of protecting any descendant of the Gao Household."

After saying that, he threw Gao Yuning away. Before the two could react, he raised his hand and unleashed a blazing beam of light, which struck Gao Yuning squarely.

The boy didn't even have time to let out a scream before he was enveloped by the light. In the blink of an eye, his body and soul were completely incinerated, leaving not even a trace of his life.

The two were clearly surprised by Yuhong's decisiveness and began to speculate:

"I've heard that this senior is extremely loyal and keeps his promises, yet he killed the remnants of the Gao Household without hesitation. Could it be that he really has no connection with Zhaohuan?"

The reality was staring them in the face: Gao Yuning had indeed died without leaving a trace, and all the members of the Gao Household who wanted to cultivate the [Three-Legged Crow Feather] technique were dead.

Their expressions softened slightly, and their voices were no longer as cold as they had been towards Zhaohuan; on the contrary, they showed considerable concern.

"Senior Yuhong is truly sensible. You must take good care of your health and enjoy your remaining years in peace; that would be the best course of action."

After saying that, the two left.

They spoke politely, but Yuhong sensed a threat in their concern. His gaze darkened, and without further ado, he turned and returned to White Jade Mountain.

Inside the Purple Mansion Grand Array of the Chongming Hall, Yuhong dismissed his attendants, leaving only the grandfather and grandson, before finally speaking and asking:

"Gao Yuning safely delivered to the Great Scarlet Realm?"

To make it look realistic, he used real Technique Method, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

Li Zhengjun nodded and said:

"His true spirit is in my hands, and his physical body is not far away. With just a thought, I can make him cross realms."

Yuhong nodded, a hint of weariness flashing across his face:

"The situation in the battle just now is clear. Zhaohuan was indeed used as a pawn, pushed out to harmonize the spiritual atmosphere. His fall was to trigger the premature manifestation of the Radiant Bright Blessed Land. Once this blessed land opens, the surrounding spiritual atmosphere will completely transform into the state of [the Golden Crow Sheds Its Feathers], making it difficult for the Three Yang Dao Lineage to recover. Related Spiritual Qi and spiritual objects will gradually wither away..."

He paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly said:

"However, the Cultivation Method of those two Sunset Rosy Clouds cultivators were not refined, and they subtly revealed traces of other lineages. In my opinion, they were most likely not trained by the main sect of Falling Sunset Mountain, but rather proxies pushed to the forefront by Falling Sunset Mountain. The true Sunset Rosy Clouds cultivators have not yet appeared. This means that we still have time to make our plans."

At this point, Yuhong looked at Li Zhengjun, finally having the opportunity to inquire about the Great Scarlet Realm:

"Zhengjun, how was your trip to Gold-Bearing Mountain? Were there any unexpected surprises?"
