After a mont of thought, Qin Feng asked, "What is Ao Kun capable of?"
A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as Yu Yao said faintly, "Ao Kun is a very difficult person to deal with. He is cold-hearted and sinister, and his thods are cruel and ruthless. Although he is the Eldest Prince of the Violet Kingdom, he is not favored by the Emperor."
"But his talent is by no ans inferior to that of his younger brother, Ao Fang!"
After she finished, Yu Yao glanced at Qin Feng. "And what’s more, he’s a hundred tis harder to deal with than Ao Fang!"
"Most importantly, Ao Kun is currently a mber of the Five Elents Team, one of the Top Ten Teams at All Stars Academy, and he holds a significant position! He is the captain of a squad within the Five Elents Team!"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Looks like I’ve attracted a tough custor this ti!"
Yu Yao frowned. "Qin Feng, don’t underestimate him! He’s not famous for his Cultivation, but for his vicious and cruel thods!"
"Those who make an enemy of him usually et a terrible end! In the best-case scenario, they only lose their arms and legs. In the worst..."
Qin Feng looked up. "The worst?"
Yu Yao shook her head. "I’ve heard that once, in the Barbaric Realm, he skinned an Alien Race infant alive and brought the skin back as a trophy!"
Qin Feng smiled. "Is that all?"
Yu Yao couldn’t help but add, "Qin Feng, you have to be careful. He’s nothing like Ao Fang! The man is fierce and exceptionally cruel!"
"He’s fierce and cruel?" Qin Feng turned to Yu Yao with a small smile. "Trust , I’m far more savage and vicious than he is."
Yu Yao was startled for a mont. Only then did she recall the terrifying thods of the black-robed youth before her.
mories of the past surfaced in her mind. With a self-deprecating smile, Yu Yao shook her head. She had been worrying for nothing.
The one who should be worried was Ao Kun. By provoking such a terrifying Demon King, his good days were now numbered.
Stepping off the Sword Testing Platform, Qin Feng didn’t linger in Spirit Sword Valley. After bidding farewell to Lû Chunyang, Li Zhuang, Yu Yao, and the others, he set off for Heavenly Red Peak.
Having obtained the Beiming Divine Water Sword, Qin Feng had a gut feeling that reaching the 9th Layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique and the 8th Layer of the Geng tal Breaking Killing Technique would now be a smooth road ahead.
A clear cry echoed through the mountain peaks. Qin Feng leaped into the air as if parting the clouds to ascend. A large, snow-white bird swooped down from the sky, and Qin Feng landed firmly on Silly Bird’s back.
WHOOSH!
A blazing ball of light appeared not far off. Several hundred paces away, Ji Huang’Er ca into view, standing atop the Heaven-Burning Finch.
"So this is that White Sparrow?" Ji Huang’Er’s beautiful eyes landed on the Silly Bird beneath Qin Feng’s feet.
"Just as I thought. This White Sparrow is no ordinary bird. To evolve from a common White Sparrow into a White Jade Ice Sparrow in a re two months... Qin Feng, you really are as treacherous as they co!"
Ji Huang’Er had obviously misunderstood!
Looking up at the peerless beauty on the Heaven-Burning Finch, Qin Feng snickered. "Now, now, Ji Huang’Er, don’t go framing an honest man. I’m as honest as they co. The treacherous one here is you, buying a Heaven-Burning Finch for a re seventy Points. I doubt there’s a more treacherous person in the entire world!"
Ji Huang’Er’s gorgeous face stiffened. A mont later, she let out a cold hmph, and the Heaven-Burning Finch carried her away, turning into a streak of fire that shot toward the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Only a cold, faint voice drifted back.
"Qin Feng, let’s see if you’re still this cocky in a month!"
"Cocky?" Qin Feng licked his dry lips, suddenly gathered his True Qi, and shouted in the direction she had flown, "Elder Ji, my mouth is actually very soft! I’ll give you a chance to try it for yourself soday!"
The beautiful figure atop the Heaven-Burning Finch froze for an instant. The creature’s speed faltered before it abruptly wheeled around. From hundreds of yards away, a heaven-piercing red light slashed through the air toward him.
Scorching crimson flas billowed out like a teor, looking as if they could pierce right through the Void!
’Are you kidding ? That ruthless? She’s actually using the Heaven-Burning Blood Fla on ?’
Qin Feng jumped in fright. Without any prompting from him, the Silly Bird beneath his feet reacted instantly, shooting dozens of yards away and vanishing into the Sea of Clouds in a flash.
"Shaless scoundrel!" Ji Huang’Er’s gorgeous face was flushed with anger. As she watched the pure-white bird flee, her expression turned frosty.
She stared fixedly in the direction the black-robed youth had disappeared for a long mont, her eyelid twitching. She considered whether or not she should hit the rogue with another sword attack.
After a mont, Ji Huang’Er let out a cold hmph, ultimately abandoning the idea. She once again spurred the Heaven-Burning Finch onward toward Golden Phoenix Mountain.
After the two had left, three renowned elders from All Stars Academy appeared in midair one after another.
Looking in the direction Ji Huang’Er had departed, one of the elders spoke. "Old friends, did you hear that clearly? Did he say that fire bird was a Heaven-Burning Finch?"
The ruddy-faced elder among them said, "I heard him loud and clear. He just said he bought a Heaven-Burning Finch for a re seventy-sothing Points!"
The first elder nodded. "Indeed. Old man, when did that Spirit Beast Shop of yours start selling True Spirits? And so cheaply, at that. Only seventy Points for a True Spirit, a Heaven-Burning Finch!"
The ruddy-faced elder’s expression instantly turned ashen, then from ashen to purple. He practically squeezed the words through his teeth.
"I’d also like to go and see just how those little brats are selling True Spirits!"
Watching the ruddy-faced old man who looked so angry steam was about to co out of his ears, the other two elders chuckled, their laughter full of unconcealed glee.
...
The Sea of Clouds was vast and boundless. Qin Feng rode the White Jade Ice Sparrow, weaving alone through the white clouds. Being by himself now felt a bit desolate.
Senior Sister Baiyun and Senior Sister Yun Mo had both left. The two of them held posts in the Spirit Source Hall and had their own duties to attend to.
’Looks like I’ll be spending the next little while in seclusion again,’ Qin Feng thought to himself.
’But this ti, those geniuses who were said to have co down from the Star Sect don’t seem to have shown up.’ Thinking of those legendary disciples from the Star Sect, Qin Feng frowned slightly.
Rivals in the open weren’t frightening; the truly terrifying ones were those who lurked in the shadows.
’Looks like I have to cultivate the Little Cloud Rain Technique and the Geng tal Breaking Killing Sword Technique to the Great Success stage as soon as possible!’
Just as Qin Feng was lost in thought, the ethereal sound of a flute suddenly drifted out from the Sea of Clouds.
Qin Feng tilted his head to listen, and his expression suddenly changed as he stood up. Turning around, he saw a white-robed youth riding a Red-plud Red Crane erge from the Sea of Clouds several hundred yards behind him.
The white-robed youth had a cold, stern face with features so sharp they seed carved by a knife. He brought a White Jade Flute to his lips, and a low, whimpering, sorrowful sound drifted over.
As waves of unsettling, fluctuating notes from the flute washed over him, Qin Feng suddenly clutched his head. He felt a wave of dizziness, as if he were drunk, and a strange, formless ripple bored straight into the depths of his soul.
At the sa ti, the creature beneath his feet began to sway. The White Jade Ice Sparrow was clearly affected by the flute’s lody; it was growing drowsy, and its flight beca unsteady.
’This is a song that throws the mind into chaos? Not good, this person has malicious intentions!’ A chill seized Qin Feng’s heart, and the aura of death enveloped him like a shroud.
Qin Feng had heard Baiyun speak of All Stars Academy’s Nine Great Divine Songs. Among them was a piece called the Chaos Divine Song, which could sow turmoil in the listener’s mind. When cultivated to a high enough level, it could even control a person’s every emotion and desire. It was incredibly powerful!
’Who on earth is this white-robed youth? Could he be Ao Kun? Is he trying to make us fall to our deaths?’
Forcefully enduring the headache and dizziness, Qin Feng felt his entire body go limp as if he’d lost control of his muscles. Circulating his True Qi beca exceptionally difficult; mustering even a single trace was as hard as ascending to the heavens.
By now, the Silly Bird could no longer resist the demonic lody pouring into its ears. Its mind in chaos, it began to spiral downward, plunging below the clouds. If it crashed to the ground from this height, they would be smashed into a pulp!
