Zhao Xier quickly leaped onto the cliff face, moving slightly closer to the Fire Luan circling in the sky.
She smiled and asked, "Fire Luan, have you seen a Human Race Cultivator? He looks roughly like this."
Zhao Xier described Zhou Rui's appearance and clothing, immediately capturing the Fire Luan's attention.
It spread its wings and pointed forward: "The Human Race Cultivator you're talking about ran that way!"
"Hehe, thank you~"
Zhao Xier smiled and thanked it, then prepared to rush into the dense forest ahead.
However, the Fire Luan landed back in its nest, stopping the excited Zhao Xier.
"Don't go yet, a very powerful Flame Lynx has appeared over there."
"Uh..."
Zhao Xier immediately stopped.
Even though she was already in the Qi Refining Realm, she knew how powerful the Fire Luan was.
Even this powerful Spirit Beast didn't dare to underestimate the Flame Lynx.
She certainly couldn't take the risk.
The Fire Luan looked at Zhao Xier and suddenly asked, "Do you know that Human Race Cultivator? What is he doing here?"
Zhao Xier smiled and nodded, then began to explain the whole story to the Fire Luan.
This and that, and so on.
Only then did the Fire Luan nod: "So that's it, then he truly deserves to die!"
"Don't worry, I will kill him~ Bi Xiao Palace will also take responsibility for this crime, it won't cause any trouble for the Cangmang Mountains." Zhao Xier was very confident.
Upon hearing this, the Fire Luan's eyes lit up: "You stay here and guard my children for me, I'll deal with that Flame Lynx! Then I'll help you track the Human Race!"
"Hehe, alrighty~"
"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"
The two little Fire Luans hadn't been out of their shells for long, but they were very active.
They jumped onto Zhao Xier, chirping non-stop.
The Fire Luan finally relaxed, flapping its wings and taking flight.
It swiftly flew towards the Flame Lynx in the dense forest!
Zhao Xier, on the other hand, took out a small incense burner and muttered to herself, "Something feels a bit off. Just in case, I'll set up a few small arrangements~"
In the dense forest.
The Green Mantis's voice trembled: "M-Master, I'm a little scared!"
Although it was also a Spirit Beast, its strength was far from comparable to the Fire Luan.
Seeing the large bird flying rapidly towards it, the Green Mantis was so frightened it could barely stand.
"You don't need to fight, you just need to lure this Fire Luan away, I will meet you!"
"Yes!"
The Green Mantis maintained the form of a Flame Lynx and turned to run!
Looking at the back of this Spirit Beast.
Zhou Rui sneered.
Meet my ass!
Once I get the Fire Luan's eggs, I'll just escape from here.
Let that little mantis fend for itself.
Thinking this, Zhou Rui continued to lie in wait.
Only when the Fire Luan had completely flown away from its nest did he quickly rush out of the dense forest.
He sprinted towards the bird's nest!
A Cultivator at the Qi Training Stage, Third Level not only had a powerful Physical Body, but also extremely solid magical power within him.
Running at full speed, he actually produced a terrifying sound of breaking wind.
According to Zhou Rui's calculations.
He only needed a few breaths of time to get the Fire Luan's eggs and make a clean getaway.
As for framing Bi Xiao Palace...
The Cangmang Mountains were vast, he would just find some random place then.
Thinking this, Zhou Rui had already arrived near the nest!
But he suddenly saw a snow-white dress!
Bi Xiao Palace!
Zhao Xier!
This beautiful woman was smiling at Zhou Rui, saying, "Senior Brother Zhou, long time no see."
Zhou Rui was greatly startled!
He looked back at the Fire Luan, which was weaving through the forest.
Chasing the Flame Lynx, it seemed to have not noticed anything here.
This allowed him to relax.
Looking at Zhao Xier again, Zhou Rui showed a smile: "I was still wondering how to create some 'evidence' belonging to Bi Xiao Palace, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to me. This is perfect!"
As he spoke.
Zhou Rui mobilized his magical power, causing his skin to emit a faint glow.
Upon closer inspection.
A layer of fine scales had formed within the glow.
Seeing Zhou Rui's body covered in scales, with faint horns growing on his head and sharp fangs in his mouth.
Zhao Xier was very puzzled: "What is this trick?"
"Heh heh, I don't have time to waste words with you, go to hell."
After Zhou Rui spoke, he suddenly threw a punch.
The scales on his fist suddenly glowed, emitting an extremely dangerous aura.
Seeing the punch approach, Zhao Xier quickly retreated.
She dodged the powerful punch.
At the same time, she quickly said, "Don't you want a treasure? I can give it to you."
Zhou Rui looked at the somewhat wilted little Fire Luans in the nest, feeling incredibly annoyed.
He had originally thought he could obtain two eggs that were about to hatch.
Then he would naturally become the Fire Luan's master.
But now.
The little Fire Luans had already hatched, greatly reducing their value!
Even if he really took them back to the Sect, with his Qi Training Stage, Third Level Cultivation, he wouldn't be able to keep them; they would probably become toys for some powerful Disciple!
Thinking this.
Zhou Rui retracted his fist and narrowed his eyes: "What kind of treasure could you possibly have?"
Zhao Xier pointed to the small incense burner in the bird's nest and said, "The Soul-Calming Incense Burner, a one-star Spirit Item, it can increase your Cultivation speed~"
"Chirp chirp~ Sleepy~"
"Chirp chirp~ Sleepy~"
Zhou Rui ignored the little Fire Luans chirping about being sleepy, instead staring intently at the incense burner in the bird's nest.
Its dark material, with mysterious runes carved on top.
The wisps of white smoke it emitted indeed calmed his mind.
It truly was a rare treasure.
"A one-star Spirit Item?! How do you have such a treasure?!"
Zhou Rui was internally agitated, even unable to maintain his beast transformation state.
If he could bring this treasure back, it would be enough to allow him to shed his Disciple status and become a Sect Elder!
He would obtain countless Cultivation resources.
Even if he didn't return to the Sect and absconded with the treasure.
It wouldn't be a bad plan either.
But in his beast transformation state, Zhou Rui became even more perceptive.
The expression of the woman in front of him seemed a bit strange, as if she was hiding something.
Watching the hesitant Zhou Rui, Zhao Xier took two steps back, pointed to the incense burner, and said directly:
"If you don't believe me, you can check it now..."
Zhou Rui took a step forward, covering his right hand with magical power.
At the same time, he picked up the incense burner.
Zhao Xier's words continued: "...check my Soul-Bewildering Incense Burner."
"Oh, Soul-Bewildering... What did you say?! Not the Soul-Calming Incense Burner?!"
Zhou Rui was greatly alarmed, and was about to throw away the incense burner in his hand.
But he suddenly felt a dizzy spell.
The objects in his vision seemed to be spinning around him.
His heart sank, and at the same time, he bit the tip of his tongue hard.
He spat out a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue!
The blood combined with the intense pain immediately restored clarity to Zhou Rui's eyes.
Just as he was about to deal with this woman who didn't know her place.
He suddenly saw a cold flash, and at the same time, felt a chill on his neck.
Zhao Xier had already sheathed her sword back into her sleeve, and said with a smile, "Congratulations~"
"You found out the truth~"
"That guy named Feng Yanping died just like this too~"
"And he also died nearby~"
Zhou Rui clutched his neck, feeling his life force rapidly draining away.
He wanted to say something, but coughed up blood: "I-I have a wisp of Divine Soul, cough cough cough... You can't escape!"
Zhao Xier sneered: "I'll be waiting for you at Bi Xiao Palace..."
Before her words finished.
A familiar voice seemed to come from not far away.
"He still died, huh? A bit of a headache~ But that guy seems to have a Storage Ring and a Storage Pouch, so it's still a big haul~ Little Guo, go!"
"Chirp chirp, yes!"
