Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Delivering Again

Suddenly,

"Whoosh"

A loud boom in the sky.

An arrow tore through the air, the bow sounded like thunder.

"Li"

A mournful shriek of an eagle.

A black hawk was shot in the wing, plummeting from the sky, landing in a forest.

The hawk fell, its wing broken, but it still struggled, flapping its wings, trying to fly again.

The next second, a shadow suddenly fell from the sky, grabbing the hawk’s neck and twisting it fiercely.

"Crack"

The struggling eagle instantly lost its life.

"Mountain Patrol Eagle, haha, you arrived just in time."

A fierce laugh sounded.

A brawny man with bronze rings on his double hands and arms strong enough to course horses, a scar diagonally cut across his face, his eyes blazing, stood on the claws of the Mountain Patrol Eagle.

There was a scroll tied with a red ribbon.

The burly man grabbed it, inside was a lacquer letter, which he tore open and unrolled to check.

The next second, his eyes widened.

"Damn."

He couldn’t recognize the words on it.

At that moment, there were the sounds of horses galloping through the forest, shouting as they came.

More than twenty figures quickly appeared.

"Lord Chi Jiao."

Chi Jiao was just a code name, one generation replacing another.

This new Chi Jiao, standing nine feet tall, his body as though cast from gold and iron, was the newly appointed Chi Jiao.

"Let me see what the letter says," Scarred Man handed the letter to a subordinate.

But one by one, they shook their heads, unable to recognize it.

"Useless, told you to read more, read more."

"Sir, this must be a cipher of the Sky Patrol Department, ordinary people can’t understand it," said a subordinate innocently.

Scarred Man narrowed his eyes, and the paper in his hand disappeared, then he stared straight ahead, his eyes flashing coldly.

"Ahead lies Qingshan County, the Venerable said that a Martial Arts Expert of the Fourth Heavenly Barrier has emerged there. Our mission is to covertly blockade, stop any news from getting in or out, hide well, understood?"

Now as Divine Sect strikes at White Emperor City, suddenly this figure emerges, killed four envoys, lost an important object, infuriating the Venerable of Divine Sect, like a nail in their backs. If this person and White Emperor City were to attack from both sides, it would lead to Divine Sect being attacked from both sides.

So, this thorn in our side must be removed.

The first step is to blockade the city from the outside, turning it into an isolated island.

Although the Fourth Heavenly Barrier is strong, he is but one man; by luring him away, those civilians will be lambs for the slaughter.

He thought, they’ll nail this man right here!

Just wait for the army to arrive.

Hehe, then...

Scarred Man started laughing, then waved his hand.

"Disperse!"

"Yes!"

The troops responded and scattered into the dense forest ahead.

Soon, they, having dispersed, vanished into the forest.

Scarred Man watched his subordinates leave.

Suddenly he turned, his fierce gaze towards a tree beside him, and shot upwards.

A yellow-green bird was perching on a branch, its ruby-like eyes cocked, staring at him.

Scarred Man opened his mouth, showing a pair of white teeth, and spat.

A white energy shot out, blasting the tree to smithereens.

The yellow-green bird disappeared.

"Ha ha"

Scarred Man laughed heartily, then vanished on the spot.

Not long after, from the collapsed tree branches, the yellow-green bird struggled out and flew away.

Low in the sky it flew for a while, then dropped to the ground,

followed by struggling to fly up, and drop again.

...........

Qingshan County, Chen Yuan’s courtyard.

Two people sat under the pavilion by the pond in the courtyard, their gazes strange as they watched the woman serving them tea.

"Please have some tea! Brother Chen should still be in spiritual practice." Fang Qingzhu offered the tea, seemingly the hostess of the place.

"What is your relationship with Brother?" Lian Nichang asked directly, sizing her up somewhat.

"Due to certain reasons, I need to stay at Brother Chen’s place for a while." Fang Qingzhu eyed the red-dressed woman in front of her, her eyebrows filled with a heroic look, and spoke.

Lian Nichang nodded, but still remarked,

"If the lady needs a place to stay, you can tell me!"

"Thank you!"

Meanwhile, Qin Hu, the burly man with a curly beard, listening to the conversation between the two women, always felt something was off and so he focused solely on drinking his tea.

Yet, from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the purple-clothed woman, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart. This woman was no ordinary person; her aura was concealed, and he could barely see through her.

He had no idea where Brother Chen had found her.

As for the two of them, having undergone some healing last night, their injuries had somewhat stabilized, and they had agreed early in the morning to come to discuss subsequent matters with Chen Yuan.

However, at this moment, Chen Yuan was likely in seclusion in the inner room.

The woman in purple was having tea in the courtyard, leading to the current scene.

At this moment, the three of them sat under the pavilion, no one speaking anymore, the air becoming silent.

Fang Qingzhu, on the other hand, seemed quite unconcerned, sipping tea while playing with the little squirrel in her arms.

She appeared like a lady from a noble family, finding pleasure in her leisure, thus content and pleased.

"This little fellow must be Brother Chen’s Contracted Demon, madam seems to like it?"

Qin Hu, seeing the air grow heavy, seized the opportunity to start a conversation.

"Yes, this little creature was raised by me before. I never thought it would end up as Brother Chen’s Contracted Demon."

"It’s said that Contracted Demons share thoughts with their master; if something happens, the master would sense it?"

"Yes, that’s a skill of our Mountain Patrol Military Officers," Qin Hu nodded.

Just as he finished speaking,

A robust aura suddenly shot out from the room.

A flash of golden light, and the three were momentarily dazzled.

The figure of Chen Yuan appeared.

He frowned, his eyes looking toward the south.

Then his body flashed, quickly disappearing from the courtyard.

Qin Hu and Lian Nichang saw this and immediately stood up, exchanging looks before hurriedly pursuing.

Having just observed Chen Yuan’s expression, they both felt a sudden tightening in their hearts.

The current situation felt like something was about to happen.

However, as soon as the two leapt out of the courtyard, they soon realized that Chen Yuan’s trace was nowhere to be found.

They realized that the three of them weren’t in the same league.

Several breaths later, Chen Yuan appeared a few miles away.

There, a yellow-green little bird, having fallen on the road a couple of miles outside the city, struggled but couldn’t get up.

A streak of golden light appeared in the air, moving vaguely, arriving close by, then squatting down, hands cradling the little bird.

"Chirp, chirp"

The bird weakly called out twice, its feathers stained with crimson blood.

Chen Yuan blew from his mouth, a stream of golden Qi enveloping the yellow-green bird.

Then his expression darkened, his feet suddenly exploded.

He shot off rapidly towards the south.

Not long after, Chen Yuan’s figure silently appeared where the group had just vanished.

He saw the Mountain Patrol Eagle with its neck twisted, dead body; he crouched down, seized its claws to check, but they were empty.

He naturally knew that the Mountain Patrol Eagle was a messenger of the Sky Patrol Department.

It seemed to have been intercepted halfway.

"Heh, my Tao Seed true form is still a bit inadequate, it seems someone else has come to deliver," he said.

His eyes gleamed with a cold light; Mud Ball shook as he commanded.

"Find this group of people for me!"
