Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1654: Chapter 1015: Desperate Flight (Part 2)

However, Jian Changhe was fleeing towards White Cloud Immortal City.

The demon beast following him resembled a giant eagle, with a body length of nine meters and a wingspan close to thirty meters, yet it had a beak and sharp claws. Its body was covered in gold, diamond-shaped scales, with an earth-yellow aura at the edges, and intricate Earth Veins patterns carved on each scale.

When its wings unfolded, the scales layered like stacked boulders; when folded, they transformed into an indestructible shield armor. The tail feathers were iron gray, with three diamond-shaped gold scales at the ends.

This was a bird beast, naturally adept at flying.

Therefore, Jian Changhe could only fight while running.

Just as he was about to reach the edge of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, a bright white streak quickly flew through the smokey void.

The speed of that streak was almost to the extreme, Jian Changhe hadn’t even reacted when he saw the streak had already arrived in front of him.

“Mystic Gold Lin Nue!”

A crisp voice sounded, and in the next moment, a terrifying burst of energy erupted.

Rumble~~~

A booming sound arose, and the explosive energy fluctuations continually spread in the empty void.

Jian Changhe gripped his longsword, warily watching the demon beast Demon King that had been blocked, letting out a long breath of relief.

“Que Lingyu, why are you stopping me!”

A heavy and dull voice rang out.

In the void, Que Lingyu transformed into a bright white Qi Mechanism phantom, while opposite her was a heavy and towering figure.

“What is going on?” Que Lingyu ignored the figure opposite and instead asked Jian Changhe.

Just now, she suddenly received Jian Changhe’s Communication Talisman in White Cloud Immortal City, and she followed the talisman’s trajectory into the void, then caught up.

Jian Changhe said, “We were attacked, one person and one demon. That person chased Yang Zhenshan away, and this demon chased after me!”

Que Lingyu’s face sank, “What is that old bastard Chi Yuan trying to do? Does he really think I’m easy to handle?”

Yang Zhenshan and Jian Changhe couldn’t discern that person’s identity, but Que Lingyu could certainly identify them.

The Mystic Gold Lin Nue was Chi Yuan True Monarch’s spiritual pet, although Chi Yuan True Monarch seldom revealed this, Que Lingyu happened to know.

Don’t think that Que Lingyu always stayed on the western side of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, and thus knew little about the forces in the Wanhua Mountain Range; on the contrary, as an avian Demon King, Que Lingyu had advantages in intelligence gathering that other demon beasts didn’t.

The Yun Que Clan was most adept at collecting intelligence information.

The little lark possessed super-fast flight speed, combined with a small body and weak presence, easily overlooked.

Furthermore, the Yun Que Clan had many bird demon beasts and mutant beasts under their command, such as sparrows and hummingbirds, and these inconspicuous little birds were spread throughout the Wanhua Mountain Range.

In terms of intelligence gathering ability, the Yun Que Clan was among the best in the entire Wanhua Mountain Range.

The Mystic Gold Lin Nue hearing the conversation between Jian Changhe and Que Lingyu felt a sense of unease, “Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!”

While talking, he actually turned around and ran.

The shimmering golden wings unfolded and flew out of the void.

“Hmph!”

Que Lingyu snorted coldly, certainly not letting him escape so easily.

Exiting the void, she directly chased after the Mystic Gold Lin Nue.

Compared to the Mystic Gold Lin Nue’s body size, she seemed so insignificant, with the Mystic Gold Lin Nue’s wingspan over nine meters, while hers was just a mere four feet.

Yet when Que Lingyu burst forth, the Mystic Gold Lin Nue appeared exceptionally clumsy.

Que Lingyu raised her head and let out a clear and resonant cry, which transformed into nine silver threads, piercing through the clouds like arrows. Each sound arrow wrapped in sharp airflow, precisely struck the Mystic Gold Lin Nue’s golden wings.

“Roar! Que Lingyu, I surrender!”

The Mystic Gold Lin Nue immediately conceded, without any hesitation, surrendering very decisively.

“Surrender! Where is that old bastard Chi Yuan?”

Que Lingyu, as if teleporting, appeared next to the Mystic Gold Lin Nue, grabbing its golden feathers with delicate hands, and fiercely pulling them off.

“I don’t know!”

“You don’t know!” Que Lingyu snorted coldly, her figure flashed again, pulling off another feather.

The Mystic Gold Lin Nue flapped its wings, trying to drive Que Lingyu away, but Que Lingyu’s speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for him to catch a glimpse of her figure.

Moreover, Que Lingyu was very familiar with his abilities, not giving him any chance to land. Whenever he lowered altitude, Que Lingyu shot the White Feather Cloud Piercing Arrow, forcing him to fly higher again.

There’s a saying that goes well: In the world of martial arts, only speed is unbeatable.

Que Lingyu took advantage of her speed; whether in the Void or the real world, her speed was as fast as teleportation.

The Mystic Gold Lin Nue, let alone competing with her speed, found it extremely difficult to track her movements.

In front of Que Lingyu, he could only suffer.

“I really don’t know! Master went to chase that person, and his order to me was to kill him!”

The Mystic Gold Lin Nue said in a muffled voice, filled with grievance and a plea for mercy.

Que Lingyu’s face was gloomy, and her petite figure suddenly appeared atop his head, pulling out a light cyan ring.

The ring was entirely light cyan and semi-transparent, its surface swirling with spiral wind patterns like a solidified tornado. The inner side of the ring was encrusted with eight crescent-shaped Wind Spirit Pearls, which seemed to have air currents surging inside, producing a bamboo leaf-like rustling when they shook.

“Be obedient and wear this, and I might spare your life!” Que Lingyu struck the ring fiercely on the Mystic Gold Lin Nue’s head.

This was the Wind Binding Ring, capable of releasing the “Silent Wind,” a wind without any kinetic energy yet able to freeze the blood flow of demon beasts, locking them as if by an invisible ice coffin, unable to move even with immense force.

Bound demon beasts would feel as if imprisoned in a flowing wind cage, with countless whispers hidden in the wind sound, like thousands of hands pulling at their souls, even knowing it’s the wind, still inducing the fear of being crushed by the giant wind of the heavens and earth.

“No! Que Lingyu, it’s a misunderstanding, please spare me!” The Mystic Gold Lin Nue wasn’t foolish; he wouldn’t willingly wear such a cursed thing.

“You have no choice! Wear it!”

Que Lingyu attempted to forcibly put the Wind Binding Ring on the Mystic Gold Lin Nue’s head, but unfortunately, his continuous struggle made it difficult for her to control him.

This was Que Lingyu’s weakness; her strength was too small, and in a direct confrontation, she simply wasn’t an opponent for the Mystic Gold Lin Nue.

However, Que Lingyu wasn’t without means; relying on her extreme speed, she plucked the feathers from the Mystic Gold Lin Nue one by one.

“Dare to resist again, I’ll turn you into a bald bird!”

“No!”

“Hmph, I’ll kill you!”

“No, Que Lingyu~~” The Mystic Gold Lin Nue was nearly in tears.

In front of Que Lingyu, he harbored powers but couldn’t use them.

Although his cultivation wasn’t superior to Que Lingyu’s, he had some resistance against other mid-level third-order Demon Kings, yet facing Que Lingyu, he could only endure passively.

Woeful, this feeling was too suffocating.

Faced with Que Lingyu’s threat, the Mystic Gold Lin Nue eventually could only wear the Wind Binding Ring in humiliation.

The light cyan ring encircled his neck, making him feel as though his whole body was gripped by an invisible giant force, his Demon Core in his body feeling like pressed by a boulder, and his Divine Soul seeming to be torn apart.

“Ah~~ I was wrong, I was wrong~~”

The Mystic Gold Lin Nue wailed, pleading for mercy.

“Hmph, behave yourself, or you’ll suffer!” Que Lingyu halted the Binding Power of the Wind Binding Ring, looking down at him.

In the distance, Jian Changhe watched the scene with a sweaty face.

He knew the prowess of this Mystic Gold Lin Nue; he himself was not an opponent for this creature, yet unexpectedly the creature had no resistance in front of Que Lingyu.

“Senior! Yang Zhenshan is still being chased by his master!” Jian Changhe moved forward to remind.

“His master is Chi Yuan, that old fox is always cunning and eccentric; being targeted by Chi Yuan, Yang Zhenshan is probably hard to escape!” Que Lingyu said gravely.

She easily dealt with the Mystic Gold Lin Nue, but if she faced Chi Yuan True Monarch, she probably wasn’t an opponent.

“What should we do then?” Jian Changhe asked worriedly.

Que Lingyu frowned, her eyes flashing with spiritual light, looking towards the Void.

“Let’s just hope Yang Zhenshan can escape by himself!”

At this moment, even if they wanted to save Yang Zhenshan, it’s very difficult to find Chi Yuan and Yang Zhenshan.

The Void is vast and empty; unless there’s Qi Mechanism contact, otherwise they can’t pinpoint others’ exact location.

Right now, unless Yang Zhenshan communicates with them, they can’t find Yang Zhenshan at all.
