C3940 The Bird in the Cage
"Heh, your strength is only average, but your tone is quite arrogant. If you don't like it, feel free to attack me. However, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. Do you dare?"
After that, he burst into wild laughter again and started to taunt the others.
Zuo Zhao glared at him. He was truly angry. He was angry. However, under Fu Xue's begging eyes, he held it back.
"Humph."
Humph. He humphed and turned his head to the side.
Fu Xue's face was cold and her eyes were cold. She spoke coldly, "We are just at the gate. I don't think we broke the rules of the Sunset City."
The guard in black armor laughed and pointed at the gate, "See that? We don't care about what happens outside of this line, but we care about what happens inside the line. Sunset City has its own rules."
Although he was just an ordinary Tribulation Transcender guard, he knew how Setting Sun City stood.
If he couldn't guarantee the safety of the cultivators in the city, Setting Sun City would have ceased to exist a long time ago, not to mention the large amount of immortal jade needed to enter the city.
Fu Xue and the others looked over and saw that he was referring to a faint shadow cast by the city gate.
This happened to be the boundary between the city and the outside.
"Thank you," Fu Xue said. She then ignored the guards and looked at Fu Yanshan.
"Uncle Shan, we can begin now."
"Yes, Miss Xue."
The guards looked over curiously when they saw the new actions.
Then, Fu Yanshan carefully took out an item. It was a golden birdcage. It shone with a golden light, and one could tell at a glance that it was very valuable. There were even complicated runes carved on it. A strange light circulated, and a ball of blue light was trapped in the golden birdcage.
If one took a closer look, one would discover that within the ball of blue light was a strange bird. It was not very large, and its entire body was a transparent blue.
"A secret technique, a bird in a cage? A one-off treasure. Heh, you're willing to part with it."
"A secret technique made from the soul of a beast is rare. Interesting."
"Is he going to use this to send a message?"
Is he going to use this to send a message?
They were well-informed and naturally recognized the bird in the cage. The blue spirit bird in the ball of light was a beast of the bird. It was refined with a special technique and had almost no power or attack power.
Its only use was to send messages, and it was extremely fast. It could easily pass through arrays. This was the power of this secret technique.
A message that could be sent without any obstructions might be able to save one's life in a moment of crisis.
Right now, Fu Xue had no choice but to use this item. Although her heart ached, the lives of Chen Xiao and the Old Ancestor were clearly more important.
"With my order, I order you to send a message to the Purple Cloud City."
Fu Xue chanted a spell and quickly formed a seal with her hands. One after another, incantations were cast on the blue spirit bird, infusing it with new energy.
The originally dull-looking spiritual bird slowly became alive and its small eyes lit up.
Soon, Fu Xue added the message into the spell and sent it to the spiritual bird.
Only then did Fu Xue stop. She nodded toward Fu Yanshan and said, "Uncle Shan, it's done."
Fu Yanshan nodded and opened the cage without hesitation. The Spirit Bird flew out of the cage and split into ten. They turned into ten rays of light and shot off in different directions.
"I hope it succeeds," Zuo Zhao said worriedly.
Xiao Long had a curious look on his face as he stared at the empty golden cage and said, "Wow, what a powerful treasure! That rainbow light is too fast, isn't it a waste to use this to send a message?"
Fu Yanshan smiled bitterly and said, "Sir Xiao Long, you must be joking. It's worth it to save Chen Xiao and the Ancestor."
Xiao Long was also very happy in his heart.
"What the hell is Sir Xiao Long? It's really unpleasant to hear. Let's change the way you address me."
... "" Fu Yanshan was speechless and didn't know how to reply.
The reason why he was so polite to Xiao Long was mostly because of Chen Xiao. He did not know anything about Xiao Long at all. He only knew that Xiao Long was also a demon, and his strength was not ordinary, so Chen Xiao thought highly of him.
Coincidentally, the City Lord of Setting Sun City, Jing Xiaofei, was also a Great Yao, so the identity of a small dragon might bring them some benefits.
Jing Xiaofei must have seen through the identity of the small dragon.
Zuo Zhao laughed as he looked at the two and shook his head. He let out a breath in his heart and said, "I can only hope that the Purple Cloud City will take action after receiving the news."
"Mm. That's all we can do," Fu Xue said.
"Sigh."
......
Outside the Setting Sun City, in an inconspicuous corner of the sandstorm, there was a very well-hidden cave underground. Chen Xiao was silently meditating and regulating his breathing to get rid of the remaining demonic insect poison in the Soul Sea.
Not far away from him, Fu Zhenghong was leaning against the wall with a struggling expression. His face was filled with pain as if he had just had a nightmare.
Unknowingly, clear tears started flowing down his face, causing Chen Xiao to be slightly surprised.
"It seems that our Old Madam Fu is also a person with a story."
He sighed in his heart. This Soul Controlling Demon Bug was not ordinary. Even Chen Xiao had to be careful when dealing with it. It would take time to get rid of the remaining poison.
Not to mention that Fu Zhenghong had been hit by a direct hit, and a lot of the demonic insect poison had remained in her body. In addition, there was no demon spirit like Hiro to help her relieve the poison, so naturally, the situation was even worse.
"No, no, no..."
Suddenly, Fu Zhenghong screamed. Tears flowed out like a fountain.
The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes. Blood shot out from her eyes. Her eyes were full of horror.
As soon as she woke up, she spat out a mouthful of blood and it splashed on the floor. She must have suffered some kind of backlash and her qi was messed up, which was why she suffered internal injuries.
Fu Zhenghong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and felt a splitting headache. He opened his dry eyes and saw Chen Xiao meditating with his eyes closed.
Subconsciously, she felt very lucky in her heart. "I didn't die and survived. Was it Chen Xiao who saved me?"
She knew very well how terrifying the strength of the two evil cultivators related to the Demon Race was, as well as how the strange blood string attack had directly hit her soul.
Even the souls of those at the Immortal Life Realm were extremely weak. Once they were injured, it was hard to recover.
"Chen Xiao, thank you."
Fu Zhenghong first moved his body and sat up straight before saying in a deep voice.
It was obvious that she was still very weak.
As for her loss of composure just now, she had also realized that it had most likely fallen into Chen Xiao's eyes, but she did not explain anything.
On the other hand, Chen Xiao pretended not to see it, which made her feel amused and angry at the same time. Did this brat really think that she couldn't see through him?
Sometimes, it was useful to see through things but not expose them.
