Chapter 496: Peony Tower

The moment the voice fell, Cang Feilan’s figure had already appeared in front of the mountain eagle. A green light remained on her right hand. With a single stroke, she easily broke through the opponent’s proud defence!

It was only when the heart-wrenching pain hit that the mountain eagle realised what had happened.

He lowered his head and looked into the pale blue eyes of the visitor, which radiated an astonishing coldness.

This woman was unbeatable.

If it didn’t flee now, it would undoubtedly die.

Move!

Move!

Move!

The mountain eagle screamed wildly in its heart.

The strong sense of survival allowed it to regain its mobility. It screeched and activated its innate divine ability.

Feathers stood up all over its body, stirring up gusts of strong wind.

The strong wind pressure, like sharp blades, actually pushed Cang Feilan’s body back a metre.

Seizing the opportunity, the mountain eagle used the wind pressure to block the broken wound and hastily flapped its huge wings!

With its flying speed, it only took a few moments to escape from this dangerous place, away from this terrifying woman.

But as it quickly soared into the sky, preparing to flee, a voice sounded from below: “Wife, cut its wings!”

After the voice fell, the mountain eagle felt that the world was spinning and the surrounding scenery was quickly fading away.

He glanced to the side to find his massive wings chopped off at the shoulder level, and blood was flying all over the sky.

Looking up again, a figure in white stood in the air, her calm gaze showing no ripples.

The mountain eagle had never expected there to be so many experts in the small city of Qiongyu. Even with his strength at the peak of the sixth stage, he was no match for them in a single move!

After the giant eagle beast was subdued, Qin Feng took out the Crystal Water Stone from his arms and asked, “Were you the one who responded to me earlier?”

Looking at the drop-like crystal stone, the mountain eagle beast’s eyes flashed with ferocity, “So it was you who set up the ambush and lured me here!”

“It was you who gave the Crystal Water Stone to the humans and humiliated our demon race!”

“Seeing how aggressive you are, it doesn’t look like you’re looking for companions. With the Crystal Water Stone in your hand, you seem to be a monster under Bai Wudi as well. Why would you want to kill your own kind?”

“Where are the other demon kings, and where is Bai Wudi?” Qin Feng asked casually.

It didn’t even see who made the move or when the attack happened.

Cang Feilan asked confusedly, “Why not spare its life and then hunt down the other Demon Kings to gather more information?”

Qin Feng raised the Crystal Water Stone in his hand and replied, “If these Demon Kings are like this, there won’t be much useful information.”

“Besides, as long as I have this thing, those guys will keep coming.”

Of course, the main reason is to give those fallen soldiers an explanation.

Qin Feng went to the other side and asked, “General Lie, how are the casualties?”

Lie Ying said solemnly, “Twelve soldiers dead, one hundred and twenty-three soldiers seriously injured, and the rest are fine. Have you found out any news?”

Qin Feng shook his head and began to treat the injured soldiers one by one.

With his current medical skills, as long as there wasn’t any damage to the meridians or fatal injuries, most of the wounds could be easily repaired.

After nearly an hour of bustle, the injured soldiers were properly arranged, and Qin Feng and the others returned to the inn.

Qin Feng also learned from Bai Xiaomao that the mountain eagle was one of Bai Wudi’s seven mountain guarding demons.

The so-called Seven Mountain Guard Demons were powerful demon kings who had been subdued by Bai Wudi and were responsible for guarding the Dragon Vein’s territory.

Among the seven demon kings, the strength of the Mountain Eagle was at the bottom.

According to Bai Xiaomao, the strength of the Demon Kings at the top had even reached the peak of the Seven Calamities Cycle.

This also gave Qin Feng a deeper understanding of Bai Wudi’s strength. After all, in order to command Demon Kings of such strength, one’s own strength must be at least at the legendary level of the Eighth Calamity Cycle in order to qualify.

“Is there any movement from the Demon Slaying Department in Qiongyu City and the Magistrate office?” Qin Feng asked aloud.

Lie Ying shook his head.

Qin Feng frowned and continued, “Leaving aside the Magistrate Office for the time being, let us consider the Demon Slaying Department. The place where the Mountain Eagle caused trouble isn’t far from Qiongyu City. They should have heard about it, but they didn’t react at all?”

“Besides, the people in this city give me a strange feeling.”

“A strange feeling?”

“I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I have the feeling that something is missing from them.”

Lie Ying didn’t dwell on this topic, but instead asked, “Now that we have no clues, what should we do next?”

Qin Feng lowered his head in thought for a moment, then remembered the fortune teller mentioning the name of the Peony Pavilion.
