CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 380: CHEN YUAN’S PLAN TO KILL THE FANG FAMILY (5.6K+ REQUESTS FOR MONTHLY TICKET)

The Great Sun hung high, vast mountains towering, all things growing wildly, a stark contrast to the snow-covered Shu lands, like two different worlds.

At the edge of a cliff, bottomless, stretching across for miles, it looked like the gaping maw of a giant beast, making birds that flew by startle in fear.

Across the Flying Cliff, dense scarlet vines hung like iron chains across the sky, covered with thorns. From them grew a splendid fiery red flower, resembling a sunflower, towering three to four zhang high.

At this moment, a massive black bird with wings like dark iron passed above a certain section of the cliff. Suddenly, the vines seemed to spring to life, like the tentacles of a giant octopus, shooting through the air with a whoosh, straight like arrows, aiming at the black bird, blocking the void.

The black bird, alarmed, let out a sharp cry. Its talons, black like iron hooks, tore at the incoming scarlet vines, severing them. Simultaneously, the black iron feathers on its wings stood up, and with a violent flap, it charged forward like two sharp knives, slicing through the vines, attempting to break free. But there were simply too many thorny scarlet vines, densely packed. In the end, the vines ensnared the screeching bird, their thorns piercing through the gaps of the iron feathers, sinking into its body.

Soon, the violently struggling and screeching bird seemed to be poisoned, its eyelids drooping in a daze, its struggles growing slow, its body becoming stiff.

"Puh"

A vine as thick as a thigh pierced through the bird’s belly, then wound around it like a python, dragging the bird towards the cliff, to the fiery red flower resembling a rising sun.

The giant flower suddenly split open, revealing a row of black fangs. Its mouth opened wide, swallowing half of the bird, feathers and blood splattering, the poisoned bird’s muscles still twitching, letting out a wail.

At this time, at the edge of the cliff, the previously empty void began to ripple, and then, several figures condensed like splashes of water emerged, landing on the wild grass-covered edge.

"Nine Colonels, aren’t we headed further into the heart of the Ten Thousand Mountains, why are we heading north?" a rough voice asked.

The Ten Thousand Mountains are situated at the southernmost part of Shu, going deeper naturally means heading further south.

As the voice fell, the four transparent figures revealed themselves one after another, it was Chen Yuan and the three Grand Protectors of Taisui Mountain!

Just an hour ago, after Chen Yuan explored out their landing spot, he conferred with the three Grand Protectors of Taisui Mountain and made a decision.

The four of them abandoned ship and left, as for the Dragon Breeding Clan and the Northern Sea Dragon Girl, they remained in Chen Yuan’s Teapot Heaven Space to continue healing.

The one speaking was Hu Yanqing of Taisui Mountain, his chaotic eyebrows reflecting confusion, he was currently the closest to Chen Yuan among the three, speaking frankly.

Chen Yuan watched that hunt in the cliff, the Ten Thousand Mountains indeed were filled with demons everywhere, he flicked his finger and released an invisible energy!

"Bang"

The energy directly crashed into the fiery demon flower that had turned its head, reducing it to powder in an instant, the vines withering as if drained of Essence Qi, visibly wilting at a rapid pace.

"Killed the Thousand-Handed Demon Lotus, Luck Points +21"

Chen Yuan narrowed his gaze, then turned to answer Hu Yanqing’s question, speaking slowly, "Now that we are in foreign territory, one must guard against others."

"Against whom?"

"Is the Nine Colonels referring to the Fang Family’s Ancestor?" It seemed that Jade Qilin, Jinyu Mountain understood.

"That’s right!" Chen Yuan’s eyes deepened, nodding, "This person was acting suspiciously on that ship, previously I, Chen, had a conflict with his Fang family in Qingshan County, if there’s a chance, the opponent will undoubtedly kill me mercilessly."

At these words, the three from Taisui Mountain exchanged glances, agreeing that Chen Yuan wasn’t wrong.

This was also one of the reasons why the three of them decided to follow Chen Yuan in abandoning the ship after falling here.

The Fang Family’s Ancestor, relying on seniority, cunningly trapped them before, made off with their people, while using seniority as leverage, putting them in a passive position, plunging the three into the current predicament, all thanks to that old geezer.

"Nine Colonels aren’t wrong, that old man’s mind is as sly as a fox, if we were strong enough, I would have punched that shameless old face of his long ago." Hu Yanqing fully agreed, snorting through his nose, then slyly eyed and said, "With the Nine Vice Admiral’s strength, plus us three, we could easily kill that old fellow, you know."

"Why let him happily have the ship, he’d probably be thrilled knowing we left."

"Naturally not, we’re now in completely unfamiliar territory, also potentially hunted by those demons, that Fang Family Ancestor’s half-step Dragon and Tiger strength, isn’t something that can be dealt with quickly, it’s more likely he would escape, once we truly start a fight, the commotion would be huge, akin to trying to pull a chestnut out of the fire, this must be the Nine Colonels’ consideration too!"

Jade Qilin, Jinyu Mountain directly retorted, then turned their gaze to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan chuckled, his eyes cold with a smile, "That ship might really have something good, but I know it’s best not to force something uncertain, especially under current circumstances."

"Avoid losing both the lady and the soldiers!"

Saying this, he didn’t linger longer on the topic, transforming his hand into a sword finger, wiping across his brow where a Dharma Eye opened, golden light flowing.

Chen Yuan’s sword finger extracted three rays of golden light from the Dharma Eye, turning them into golden globes the size of Dan Pills, sending them to Hu Yanqing and the other two, suspending them in front of their eyes.

"This is my Eye Power, this golden light can mask presence and search, from now on, even if that Fang Family Ancestor has Divine Skills like Void Image, he won’t capture our vital energy, our tracks won’t be exposed, of course, it can also shield us from some dangerous demons’ detection, allowing us smoother passage through the Ten Thousand Mountains."
