Chapter 826: Chapter 0826: The Crow Turns into a Spirit

In a canyon, the woods were filled with crows.

A crow flapped its wings and swooped down into the canyon.

A man clad in a black robe sat at a table made of blue stones, sipping tea.

The crow landed on the table before him and cawed, "Master, I’m hurt, I’m hurt."

The man in the black robe stared at its leg for a moment, then with a flick of his finger, brushed against it.

The crow’s previously broken leg healed instantly, as it joyfully called out while standing on the table, "It’s healed, it’s healed, my leg is healed."

The man asked, "What happened?"

The crow cried out, "Eastern people, Master told me to watch the Eastern people, and I saw a few of them. A man hit me with soda, it hurt so much."

"Soda?"

The man frowned and rubbed his head, saying, "Take your brothers and let’s meet them again."

"Yes, yes!"

With two caws, the crow led the mass of black crows perched on the nearby branches into flight.

Closely packed together, they covered the sky like a dark cloud.

At a rough glance, there were at least a thousand.

Long Fei and his companions were sitting in the car, taking in the scenery outside.

They had reached the outskirts of Yellowstone Park, with the entirety of Yellowstone Volcano National Park spanning a hundred miles around.

The forests were lush, canyons crisscrossed the landscape, and the circular volcano crater was visible from afar.

Lin Shanshan was holding her SLR camera, taking photos out the window.

Suddenly, the sky dimmed.

Lin Shanshan exclaimed, "Eh, why has the sky suddenly gone dark?"

The driver in the front shouted in alarm, "Sect Hierarch, look outside!"

Long Fei, Chu Feng, and the others quickly glanced out the window only to see the sky filled with a myriad of cackling black crows.

Lin Shanshan cried out, "Brother-in-law, it’s over, that crow has brought its gang over."

Lin Yingying gazed up at the sky in surprise, "What are they trying to do?"

As they spoke, the crows in the sky began to dive bomb like artillery shells, tucking in their wings and plummeting down.

Bang, bang, bang, the car’s steel roof was actually punctured with holes.

The wind swept in, howling loudly.

Another wave attacked from the car window, slamming against it twice, shattering the glass to pieces.

The driver, also a Heaven-rank Assassin from the Hell Sect, was so frightened by this sight that he slammed on the brakes.

The flock of crows seemed like they wanted to devour humans.

Long Fei and Chu Feng shared a smile, "It seems there’s a mastermind behind this!"

They waved their hands outside the window, and a swirl of red flames enveloped the car, swirling like a tornado around it, wrapping everything within a dozen meters.

The air filled with the scent of charred flesh.

Thick smoke billowed, and the crows outside let out pitiful cries.

Under the scorching of the Fire Elemental Force, many turned into wisp of smoke and shot into the sky.

Thousands of crows, suddenly over a hundred were dead or injured.

The rest frantically flapped their wings to flee into the sky, continuously calling out in shock at the car below.

Chu Feng furrowed his brow, "These crows seem not to be too afraid of fire?"

Ordinary crows would have been decimated by such intense flames from the Fire Elemental Force, at least by half.

But this flock only suffered over a hundred casualties.

Relying on these hundred-odd crows, they quelled the flames and allowed the rest to escape.

Lin Shanshan shouted, "Have these crows turned into demons?"

Long Fei explained, "They’ve gained some intelligence, stronger than ordinary crows."

Hua Qianmo spoke up, "I know who’s behind this."

Everyone turned to look at her.

"Definitely the Fire Crow Sage, his dojo is nearby."

Hua Qianmo concentrated for a moment.

Lin Shanshan curiously said, "That’s strange, we haven’t offended him. Besides, he doesn’t even know us! Why would he target us as soon as we arrived? Could it be just because we injured that little crow?"

"I’m not sure about that."

Hua Qianmo shook his head.

Ding Xue analyzed, "Probably because the atmosphere is too tense, that demon is overly sensitive!"

Long Fei said, "That’s right, that must be the reason. I noticed just now that these crows were targeting only Easterners. I guess this demon is allergic to Easterners and wants to test everyone out."

Chu Feng excitedly said, "So the fight is about to begin?"

Long Fei, watching the crows in the sky, said, "We’re just here to watch the excitement; there’s no need to make things too stiff. The real protagonist this time is Daoist Huoyuan. If he submits to us, well and good. If not, then we’ll play it by ear and just take the Fire Elemental Tree."

"That’s rather cunning!"

"Not very righteous."

"Is this really okay?"

The women seemed somewhat disdainful.

Long Fei and Chu Feng both laughed heartily, feeling quite unabashed inside.

Treasures naturally belong to the virtuous.

This item wasn’t born belonging exclusively to Daoist Huoyuan, so there’s nothing wrong with taking it.

Moreover, they weren’t overtly robbing him.

They would only make their move when Daoist Huoyuan was unable to protect the treasure.

The car arrived at the motor inn where Yu Fangming was staying, and it was only then that the crows slowly dispersed, leaving just a small group to monitor the area.

Long Fei and his group got out of the car.

Yu Fangming came out to greet them, and upon noticing the car riddled with holes, he asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Long Fei gestured towards the crows and explained, "These fellows did it."

Yu Fangming frowned immediately upon looking up and quickly ushered them into the motor inn.

It was a wooden villa-style inn, and Yu Fangming had booked both floors.

In the living room, Yu Fangming invited everyone to sit down.

The furniture was simple, with wooden sofas and a coffee table, and an empty TV hung on the wall.

The walls were adorned with hangings made of maple leaves, which expressed a rough yet slightly artistic vibe.

Yu Fangming personally poured tea and water and said to Long Fei, "Sect Hierarch, this place is a den of mixed fish and dragons. In the past few days, several groups of people have appeared here. It seems that the fructification of the Fire Elemental Tree this time will be an even bigger catastrophe than the one a hundred years ago."

Long Fei sipped his tea and said indifferently, "That’s normal; the Earth’s cultivation resources are limited. When a treasure appears, naturally all forces want to lay their hands on it."

"That’s exactly right."

Yu Fangming nodded, agreeing with Long Fei’s perspective.

Not to mention such a rare Divine Tree, even if it were a ginseng.

If it made its appearance, it would lead to a frenzy among all factions.

Everyone wanted to progress, but with such limited resources, fighting over them was inevitable.

Chu Feng asked, "Has that old fire man agreed to let us visit?"

Yu Fangming laughed and said, "He had no choice but to agree. You should’ve seen my old buddy then—his face was green, his heart was uncomfortable, but he was completely helpless."

"So, we’re still forcing someone’s hand!"

Chu Feng and Long Fei exchanged light-hearted smiles.

Yu Fangming was a bit unsure how to handle their laughter and said with a bit of guilt, "Sect Hierarch, we agreed we’re only looking, not taking. Otherwise, my reputation will be completely ruined."

Long Fei reassured, "Don’t worry, we’re not bandits."

Yu Fangming then breathed a sigh of relief and instructed everyone, "Everyone should rest early, and tomorrow I’ll take you all over there."

Outside, dusk approached, and Yu Fangming maintained a proper distance from Long Fei and the others.

As an Elder of the sect, he kept the demeanor of an Elder.

There was another guest room in the small courtyard, and Yu Fangming planned to make do there alone for the night.

In case of any emergencies during the night, he could protect everyone.
