Chapter 776 - 245 Wang Mu: The Ancient Sage is indeed wise!
"Humph..."
Piao Miaoxu stared at the Spirit beast shrouding the horizon.
The damn thing has come.
And...
On the body of the Spirit beast, there stood a carefree and elegant figure. It could only be that bastard Dongfang Mu, without a doubt.
Others might not see it, but she could make out that figure with just one glance; even looking up from the ground, one could only see a shadow...
From this shadow, Piao Miaoxu even discerned that this guy seemed to have recovered, his appearance reverting to that of a young man.
As expected, mere Life Span is nothing to this bastard... Piao Miaoxu inwardly snorted.
A thousand years ago, the heavens favored him, endowed with immense Qi Fortune. How could he die so easily?
Pretending to be Dongfang Mu was the right move after all, seizing the initiative. Otherwise, she would never know what dire situation she might find herself in...
But, do you really think I am alone? A hint of a cold smile appeared on Piao Miaoxu’s face.
At the same time, Ao Qing happened to walk near her.
Piao Miaoxu turned around and said to Ao Qing, "You agreed?"
Ao Qing was silent for a few seconds, struggling to raise his head to glimpse the Immortal Cloud Kun.
He has come...
Just now, that middle-aged man relayed a message to him. If he didn’t agree, was he planning to make his move?
Ao Qing clenched his teeth slightly.
Clearly the lover of his Master, why must he do this?
Wouldn’t these actions disappoint Master?
To Ao Qing, Wang Mu’s current appearance, riding the Immortal Cloud Kun, must be to stop him from defining his romantic destiny with Dongfang Mu, and perhaps even take him away.
With this thought, Ao Qing nodded.
We both cannot let the Great Immortal down!
Piao Miaoxu was slightly surprised, thinking to herself, That Qin Mu indeed had some tricks up his sleeve to actually convince Ao Qing to agree to set a romantic destiny under the Evergreen Tree with her.
However, that bastard appearing right now must want to stop her.
Could he really get his way?
"What... what’s going on here?" Wang Mu came over and asked intermittently through transmitted sound.
"Someone wants to stop Miss Ao Qing and me from defining our romantic destiny," Piao Miaoxu, disguised as a man in black, said indifferently. "Miss Ao Qing, I ask you, are you willing to leave with him?"
"If you truly do not wish to marry me, nor set a romantic destiny with me, then you can leave with that person right now."
Ao Qing was stunned, the Dragon’s Horn on his forehead faintly glowing.
Clearly, he was experiencing considerable inner turmoil.
"No..." Ao Qing shook his head.
"Good!" the man in black nodded. "Then I absolutely cannot let anyone else take you away!"
"That Ascension Realm Spirit beast..." Ao Qing whispered, "It’s going to forcefully... stop us..."
"Don’t worry, I will have the Golden Winged Eagle Saint take you away. I’ll stay behind to cover our retreat..." Saint Dongfang Mu said calmly. "Rest assured, I am a Saint, and naturally have means to deal with it. I won’t die."
Ao Qing hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the Immortal Cloud Kun again.
With his Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivation, his Divine Sense was unable to penetrate the oppressive aura of the Ascension Realm Spirit beast; he could only make out a vague figure.
Wang Mu’s figure.
The very next second, Piao Miaoxu gently clapped her hands.
Three towering figures rose from below the mountain.
One of them directly broke through the lingering oppressive barrier of the Immortal Cloud Kun, flying into the space above the Changqing Tree.
It was a giant eagle covered in golden feathers, its head adorned with a lotus-like fleshy crest, its golden wings dazzling like sunlight, and it possessed a remarkably mighty aura. A unique domain of golden light formed around it, resisting the pressure from above.
"Go!" the man in black directed Ao Qing. "The Golden Winged Eagle Saint has extraordinary strength; it will take you away from here. As for this one..."
Ao Qing glanced once more at the Immortal Cloud Kun. His Primordial Spirit turned ethereal and, resisting the oppressive force, flew onto the back of the Big Eagle.
Wang Mu too took a look.
The Golden Winged Eagle Saint.
When he’d initially subdued it, this eagle was actually a black Big Eagle from the Wa Clan Holy Mountain.
The Wa Clan’s bloodline is unique; they are descendants from an extremely ancient lineage of the Wa Clan. To fully activate the potential power within their blood, they need to pluck a Blood Lotus Seed from the Holy Mountain as proof.
After completing Nanrong Biyou’s main quest in the Wa Clan Holy Land for the first time, a side quest would appear there.
This quest involved subduing this particular black Big Eagle.
Because on the Holy Mountain, the Blood Lotus Seeds are guarded by a Fierce Beast.
Therefore, this side quest is also known as the Fierce Beast of Wa Clan legend.
This legendary Fierce Beast is also said to possess an ancient bloodline. In the legends of the Wa Clan, it was a Heavenly Peng Divine Eagle subjugated by the Wa God in ancient times. This divine eagle was capable of soaring for ten thousand li and flying above the clouds with immense power.
After being defeated by the Wa God, it was subdued and left in the Holy Land to guard the Holy Mountain.
It also had the important task of testing the mettle of each generation’s Clan Leader of the Wa Clan.
So yes, the origin of this Big Eagle was not simple at all.
Of course, that’s just legend.
The side quest was actually quite straightforward—after completing the main quest, one simply had to return to the Holy Land with Nanrong Biyou and make a trip to the Holy Mountain to encounter this Big Eagle.
The subjugation process still had its difficulties. First, one had to defeat it. Secondly, one had to find its preferred food: Three-flavor Snake Soup.
As for why it favored this dish, according to the Big Eagle itself—once it could speak human language—its kind had not eaten snakes since being subjugated by the Wa God. However, it had heard a rumor in human society that other ingredients could supposedly replicate the same texture and deliciousness of snake...
Anyway, the storyline is quite interesting.
The premise for defeating it was that Nanrong Biyou also had to possess a certain strength; otherwise, both would fail. If Bi You failed the test of a Clan Leader, the Big Eagle could not leave the Holy Mountain.
