Chapter 194: Chapter 91 Start of the meeting [Seeking monthly ticket!]_1

Looking at the corpse of the Dual Swordsman, Chu Liang couldn’t help but admire the man’s resolve. To not betray who was behind the order, he had killed himself directly.

Out of respect for his enemy, Chu Liang raised his Flying Sword and made a few dozen translucent holes in the man’s body to ensure that he was truly dead before he dared to approach.

But after thoroughly searching the body, Chu Liang found nothing of value apart from the pair of black dual daggers. Even the most basic magical storage tool was missing.

This was, in fact, part of the Dual Swordsman’s professional dedication as an assassin. Before every mission, he would discard anything that could reveal his identity, bringing only his weapons to the scene.

"Alas."

Chu Liang sighed, decided to keep the swordsman’s dual daggers and the Soul Suppressing Banner as a small consolation.

Then he stood up and thanked the Wood Demons, saying to Elder Qinghuai, "Thank you all for your help today."

"Ah--" Elder Qinghuai waved his hand dismissively, "Young Hero Chu, why are you being so polite? You were the one who helped our Wood Demon tribe first. We could not possibly stand by idly!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Liang said, "Earlier when I entered the fire mountain, I saw what was inside."

"Oh?" Elder Qinghuai immediately showed interest, "What was it?"

"It was a Flame Winged Serpent!" Chu Liang said.

The Wood Demons were shocked to hear this name. "That’s a ferocious beast reputed in the ancient times! It is cruel and violent! Its ancestors even included a practitioner of the Eighth stage with control over Tianyuan!"

"But Flame Winged Serpents inhabit the Evil Charm Mountain in the southwest, why would it suddenly come here?"

After a moment, Elder Qinghuai said, "Although the Flame Winged Serpent is just a Fifth Realm Spiritual Beast, due to its innate nature, we of the Wood Demon tribe find it hard to deal with. We’ll have to ask for the help of Shu Mountain again. When you go back, Young Hero Chu, please inform your seniors."

"Rest assured." Chu Liang said, "I’m going back to inform them now and will hurry back as soon as I can to deal with this threat."

Carrying the trust bestowed on him by the Wood Demons, Chu Liang flew swiftly back to Shu Mountain on a Golden Fur Beast.

Upon hearing his report, Elder Shen was also surprised.

"A Flame Winged Serpent left the Evil Charm Mountain? That hasn’t happened in many years. There are many dangerous beasts living there and they mostly keep to themselves; I wonder if something unusual happened there. I’ll have to check with the other elders, see if anyone needs to be sent there to investigate."

His mind was already focused on the situation of the Evil Charm Mountain, as for Wood Demon Mountain, a Fifth Stage Flame Winged Serpent didn’t seem to be that much of a problem for Shu Mountain.

He paused for a moment before saying, "As for the one in Wood Demon Mountain, it’s just a Fifth Stage beast, it shouldn’t be too hard to deal with. I’ll see which of our Sixth or Seventh Stage practitioners are free to take care of it later."

The Immortal Sect always operates this way - When the situation is unclear, they send the disciples to investigate first. If they are able to solve it, so be it. If they cannot, then they call for the experts.

If you have the higher-ups dealing with every little issue, how are they going to manage?

"Elder Shen, there is no need for a lot of trouble," Chu Liang said with a smile. "My master is free now."

"Ah, I forgot about Empress Feng." Elder Shen smacked his forehead and said, "If she is willing to take action, that would be the best."

Actually, he didn’t forget, he just never thought in that direction. Who in Shu Mountain would dare to order Empress Feng around? It got to the point where Empress Feng wasn’t even being considered for any tasks, good or bad, in the Sword Exchange Pavilion.

Chu Liang’s convenience was the only reason she could be reluctantly asked to come along.

But Chu Liang had ulterior motives.

After all, it was a Fifth Realm Spiritual Beast! Even after killing it, the body was still full of valuable parts.

The gall of the Flame Winged Serpent alone, for instance, was only a notch below the Red Golden Dragon Snake Gall that Immortal Qi Jing had given to Jiang Yuebai. The scales, blood, and even the meat of the serpent were considered treasures.

These benefits naturally would fall into the hands of whoever took action.

So, without any hesitation, he decided to choose his master.

...

Empress Feng, who had been dozing in the pavilion, perked up immediately when she heard that there were benefits to be had. Especially when she heard it was a Flame Winged Serpent, she immediately stood up with bright eyes. "Snake meat, I’ve been craving that recently."

At this, Chu Liang’s eyebrows twitched. She was a bit too wild.

The master and disciple hurried to Wood Demon Mountain.

When she arrived, descending like a Blazing Divine Phoenix, the Wood Demons around her couldn’t bear her powerful aura and all transformed back into human forms, begging, "Great being, please withdraw your divine power!"

Facing the rising demonic aura around her, Empress Feng released her most powerful aura. By comparison, she was overwhelmingly more powerful than the Flame Winged Serpent, causing the small wood demons to suffer in pain from just her powerful aura.

"Master, these are our allies. The Flame Winged Serpent we need to capture is in there." Chu Liang pointed at the increasingly large blazing fire.

"Oh." Empress Feng replied casually.

The next moment she soared high into the sky and faced the divine fire that had stumped the Wood Demon tribe.

Her gaze was indifferent, she suddenly took a deep breath, "Huuu."

With that single breath, the wildfire across the mountain seemed to have found its belong, leaving the earth, converging towards the sky, and turning into a massive fireball in a blink of an eye!

With the flames soaring into the sky, a chaotic scene was revealed on the ground. The parts scorched by the fire were left bare, the black surface was laid bare, even the underground rocks and the mountain body had been burnt down by several feet.

This fire had caused tremendous damage to Wood Demon Mountain.

The Flame Winged Serpent which initiated this was coiled on a large black stone. It was originally slithering in the fire, savoring the heat bed created by itself.

Suddenly, this bed was taken away along with what felt like its entire home, exposed to the public eye.

Its vertical pupils were darting around.

A bit panicky.

A bit bewildered.

Empress Feng did not even bother to give it a glance.

She picked up the massive fireball in the air, akin to the sun, with both her hands, and then exerted force to compress it.

Press...

With the force of her hands, that fireball occupying half of the sky was actually compressed to just the size of one palm. She held it in her hand, and moulded it a bit further.

Until it becomes a purple golden walnut-sized solid core, it looked less like it was made of fire, more like a piece of metal.

She circled the purple golden core in her hand before finally lowering her head to gaze at the Flame Winged Serpent below.

"Hasn’t your folks told you that kids shouldn’t play with fire?" she asked in a languid voice.

The Flame Winged Serpent flapped its wings.

Whether or not it understood Empress Feng’s words, but it definitely sensed its predicament!

Danger!

It spread its wings and was about to flee immediately!

But would Empress Feng give it a chance?

This Flame Winged Serpent by nature is brutal and bloodthirsty, taking pleasure in killing and burning everything, bringing great disaster wherever it goes, it wasn’t something that you could just shoo away.

She didn’t make any extra moves, just casually flicked that purple-gold walnut-sized core she made earlier.

Whoosh—

A purple light chased the figure of the Wing Fire Serpent.

Bang! Rumble rumble—

An instant explosion!

The fireball, which was virtually compressed to its limit, exploded again, the endless shockwaves and flames engulfed the Flame Winged Serpent. Even though it was its own fire, it could not withstand the force of the explosion.

Even a roiling cloud of fire spread out in the sky, blocking out the view of the entire Wood Demon Mountain within dozens of miles.

With this blast, it shook the world.

"Want to keep the whole corpse! Master!" Chu Liang shouted.

"Don’t worry, I am in control." Empress Feng waved her hand.

So, Chu Liang was relieved.

Empress Feng might seem unreliable in all aspects, but when it comes to fighting, you can always trust her.

Indeed.

Long later, everything cleared.

On that bare mountaintop, Chu Liang saw the burnt outer layer of the Wing Fire Serpent’s corpse. It could not believe that after playing with fire for a lifetime, it would die under its divine fire in the end.

Apart from the ruined snake scales, the preservation of this corpse was really excellent. This Flame Winged Serpent was purely killed by the overly powerful explosive force, but it was not blown apart. The control of Empress Feng’s strength was just perfect.

"Take it back and make it into a hot pot." Empress Feng cheerfully said when she landed on the ground.

"Yes, such a big snake can be eaten for many days." Chu Liang said, "And it’s enough for a lot of people."

Empress Feng raised her fist, "Let the feast begin!"
