Chapter 333 1 In the blink of an eye, 1 years have passed.
"Xue Lan, Yun Chuan County City is just ahead."
The towering forest stretching ahead suddenly bends down, revealing a massive demon city in the middle.
Amidst the clouds and mist, it resembles a ferocious beast lurking deep in the mountains.
Xue Lan and the others landed on an open space near the county town. The woman dressed in black fiddled with a red thread on her wrist that was invisible to others, her expression somewhat lost in thought.
Wu Yijun called out again, "Xue Lan!"
In Wu Yijun's view, Xue Lan was holding his wrist, her long eyelashes drooping, as if she was thinking.
"Should I go into the city?" Lin Su asked from the side.
Xue Lan finally came to her senses and slowly shook her head: "It's not needed now."
“I did intend to use you to lure that person out, but I don’t need to now.”
In Xue Lan's perception, Lin Xunfan was now feeling uneasy under her suppression of his soul, like an ant on a hot pan.
It's likely that before long, he'll be driven to desperation and leave this Yun Chuan County city that terrifies him so much.
"The time is not right. Let's wait here for Yan Chengxue. We're going to kill someone, so it's not convenient to make a big fuss."
Wu Yijun nodded slightly; she understood what Xue Lan meant.
It's best not to let the demons know that you're making a move on their territory.
To conceal their presence, Yan Chengxue needs to arrive.
The group exchanged glances and tacitly concealed themselves in the surrounding area, waiting for the opportunity Xue Lan had suggested.
Beneath the Thunder Kui Formation of Luoxia Mountain, the young man packed his belongings and slowly bowed to the middle-aged man dressed in indigo blue before him:
"Thank you for your guidance these past few days, senior. I have something to take care of in Siyaochuan, so I'll take my leave now."
Kui Shengge carried a wine jar, his sharp gaze sweeping over Yan Chengxue.
The middle-aged man's voice was somewhat hoarse: "Xue Lan called you?"
Yan Chengxue nodded slightly.
Kui Shengge smiled again and asked, "Is it urgent?"
Yan Chengxue nodded vigorously: "It's urgent."
Kui Shengge got up from her chair and patted Yan Chengxue on the shoulder: "If you rush to Siyaochuan now, it'll be too late. Come with me."
Yan Chengxue dared not refute and obediently followed Kui Shengge outside.
The setting sun over Luoxia Mountain was as red as blood, and the soldiers on the city wall stood straight, like long spears.
A middle-aged man in an indigo long gown walked ahead, like a free and unrestrained bolt of lightning.
Kui Shengge held a wine pot in one hand and a withered tree branch in the other.
The middle-aged man bent over and wrote and drew on the ground, talking to Yan Chengxue while doing his own thing: "You are the first disciple I have taught in ten thousand years. You are exceptionally talented. I really like you."
Yan Chengxue quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior."
“There’s no such thing as special favor…” Kui Shengge chuckled softly, having finished inscribing the array beneath her hands.
The middle-aged man raised his chin at Yan Chengxue and said, "Come in, I'll take you to Siyaochuan."
Yan Chengxue was overjoyed and quickly walked into the magic array.
"Thank you, senior."
Kui Shengge chuckled, and the middle-aged man gently raised his hand. Yan Chengxue saw a small, deep blue ball of light fly out from the man's fingertip and directly into the fan pendant hanging at her waist.
The middle-aged man's voice was full of pride: "Since we're going to make a move in Siyaochuan, we'll have to make some noise on Zhuqing's territory. With my mark, that guy from Yandu won't bother you."
Yan Chengxue bowed deeply to Kui Shengge: "Chengxue is extremely grateful!"
"Go!"
As the middle-aged man uttered those two words, the array beneath Yan Chengxue's feet suddenly activated. The young man was enveloped in a bluish-green light, tearing through the void and disappearing from sight.
Kui Shengge finished the last drop of wine in the jar, then picked up the jar and shook it.
The hoarse voice faded into the setting sun:
"Chase the green!"
"In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed!"
The formation personally set up by the Demon Lord Lei Kui was extremely efficient. If Luoxia Mountain and Siyao River were compared to two dots on a sheet of Xuan paper, this formation would be like folding the Xuan paper and simultaneously piercing through these two dots.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Yan Chengxue traversed thousands of miles, arriving from Luoxia Mountain to the deep forests of Siyaochuan.
The young man landed on a tall, ancient tree, and immediately encountered a harbinger bird flapping its wings and flying away at high speed.
The harbinger bird clearly hadn't expected a living creature to suddenly appear in front of it, and when it crashed into it, it nearly knocked Yan Chengxue's heart and liver out of her body.
"Order Thirteen!" The young man looked at the little creature in his hand, his tone filled with resentment: "Why did you have to kill your master?"
He was resentful, and so was the chubby chattering bird. The little guy bumped right into Yan Chengxue's forehead and then pulled out the small pouch that Wu Yijun had put in earlier from among the thick chest feathers.
"Jun Jun gave this to me?" Yan Chengxue placed the bird on her shoulder, gently opened the purse, and saw a flower petal and Wu Yijun's communication talisman inside.
After hearing this, the young man's expression turned solemn: "We really owe a debt to Senior Lei Kui this time, otherwise we would have really missed it."
After saying this, the young man placed the chubby little bird on his shoulder and quickly flew towards Xue Lan and the others.
Inside the secret pavilion of the Jiduyu Palace.
Zhu Lingzhi wore a gorgeous black dress with feather-shaped patterns embroidered on the hem and cuffs, and an exquisite obsidian crown on her head, making her look extremely noble.
"Father, when will Fourth Uncle arrive?"
Sitting upright in her chair, Yu Jun looked at her favorite daughter and said gently, "It'll be soon!"
"Lingzhi misses Fourth Uncle so much? Fourth Uncle is truly moved!" Just as Yu Jun finished speaking, a cheerful voice came from the secret pavilion.
Crimson flames slowly ignited in mid-air above the secret pavilion, from which the figure of a young man materialized, his brows and eyes bold and sharp, exuding unbridled arrogance.
Upon closer inspection, he actually bears a striking resemblance to Zhu Lingzhi.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhu Lingzhi's bright face immediately lit up with a smile.
"So many people are waiting for Fourth Uncle, and he's an old man, yet he's late!"
The young man looked at Zhu Lingzhi with warm eyes: "Fourth Uncle had some things to do! I'm a little late."
The young man turned slightly and exchanged a glance with Yu Jun, who was seated in the main seat. Both of them had solemn expressions.
Yu Jun slowly spoke: "In this operation, Tu Shan Yan from Fengdu and Lord Jun of Seven Butterflies Valley will both take action, as will Qian Yan..."
The young man bowed slightly: "I'm here!"
Yu Jun's voice was filled with coldness, devoid of any emotion:
"Don't let others laugh at the Feathered Clan."
Zhu Qianyan responded solemnly:
"Yes!"
