Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 531 - 520: The Predator Behind, Encirclement and Slaughter

Chapter 531: Chapter 520: The Predator Behind, Encirclement and Slaughter

Just now, Zheng Rou’s explanation gave Qin An a rough outline regarding the Qingxuanniao clan and the Qingfeng Pearl.

According to Zheng Rou, the people of the Qingxuanniao clan who came this time are probably at the Element Transformation Realm, and the reason they use the Qingfeng Pearl to control the pseudo-gods of the Gangfeng Mountain Range might be to hinder the Evil Extermination Bureau’s progress.

The purpose of hindering the Bureau’s progress is actually quite simple: to allow these pseudo-gods to delay time, giving the Qingxuanniao clan time to prepare for finding the Gangfeng Heart.

Yueye interrupted the group’s quiet discussion and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, time is of the essence. It seems we need to pick up the pace, quickly search ahead, and find Lord Zhu as soon as possible."

This time they came without remote communication methods; after all, only the badges of the patrol leaders allow such communication.

The hierarchy within the Evil Extermination Bureau is strict, making communication exceedingly difficult.

The Gangfeng Mountain Range is vast, and they couldn’t send a group to search for Zhu Xueshuang, so they had to keep moving forward to find the final destination quickly, to see if Zhu Xueshuang and the others had already arrived ahead of time.

The group nodded and said no more, then transformed into fleeting shadows and disappeared at the end of the mountain path.

Once everyone disappeared, only Qian Yu and the members of the Fengyun Sword Sect remained where they were.

A disciple of the Fengyun Sword Sect stepped forward and asked: "Elder Qian, what should we do next?"

Qian Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Find a place to hide quickly; it seems this opportunity won’t be found. Preserving our lives is crucial and we should find a chance to leave the Gangfeng Mountain Range."

Then, this group of Fengyun Sword Sect disciples determined a direction and left swiftly.

...

At this moment, not only was Qin An’s group facing danger, but peril lurked everywhere.

Many from the Evil Extermination Bureau also encountered indescribable pseudo-gods, and they weren’t as fortunate as Qin An’s group.

In some places, there were even casualties.

At this time, within a hidden mountain path.

Qingyu was leading the Qingxuanniao clan members forward.

At this moment, Qingyu held a feather emitting a cyan glow, the glow forming a faint line pointing forward.

This feather was a treasure of the Qingxuanniao clan, capable of accelerating wind attribute cultivation and sensing the position of wind attribute treasures.

This time, their confidence stemmed from being able to find the Gangfeng Heart in advance, relying on this cyan feather treasure.

Moreover, they had prepared extensively beforehand, even paying a huge price to amass a large number of Qingfeng Pearls to control the pseudo-gods of the Gangfeng Mountain Range.

"How are the other clan members progressing?" Qingyu put away the feather and turned to ask.

A Qingxuanniao hurriedly bowed and said: "Reporting to you, my lord, the other clan members have also managed to control many pseudo-gods, causing significant trouble for the Evil Extermination Bureau."

"Though they haven’t inflicted heavy casualties, they have indeed slowed down their progress. However, the teams led by those Silver Dao Marshals cannot be stopped; after all, they are all masters of the Element Transformation Realm."

The Qingxuanniao clan, cultivating with the wind attribute, naturally possessed unique secret techniques allowing them to communicate with the wind.

This distinguished them from other wind attribute monsters.

Thus, after entering the Gangfeng Mountain Range, they had more informed communication than ordinary people.

Even across long distances, they could spread messages rapidly.

Qingyu nodded and was about to continue forward.

But this Qingxuanniao spoke again: "There’s news from the Wind Eaters that you might find interesting, my lord."

Qingyu stopped, frowned, and said: "Speak."

Any pseudo-god controlled by the Qingfeng Pearl would naturally be influenced, perceiving the conditions they encountered.

Therefore, Qingyu knew that the Wind Eaters must have encountered people from the Evil Extermination Bureau.

The Qingxuanniao quickly responded: "Indeed, the Wind Eaters encountered people from the Evil Extermination Bureau, including someone named Qin An among them."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu looked surprised.

"I see why you thought it would interest me."

The Qingxuanniao asked: "My lord, should we go and kill Qin An first? We know the route he’s taking."

Qingyu, upon hearing this, shook his head and replied: "No need for now, finding the Gangfeng Heart is paramount; Qin An is just an appetizer outside the main course."

Qingyu was clear about priorities.

Thus, he didn’t focus on Qin An.

The Qingxuanniao said no more and followed Qingyu, continuing forward.

At this moment, many people were gradually gathering in this Forbidden Area.

As time passed, a signal glowing with flames suddenly rose from the sky.

As it rose, a series of flames shot into the sky one after another.

Many martial world forces present were shocked upon seeing these flames.

They knew very well what this meant.

This signified action by the Evil Extermination Bureau.

The flames were a signal.

The signal, in continuous succession, relayed information about the appearance of the Gangfeng Heart.

At this moment, in front of a mountain path.

Qin An and the others stopped and looked up at the flames in the sky.

Without wasting words, they quickly headed toward the end of the flames.

One after another, the people of the Evil Extermination Bureau followed the flames.

In just a few hours, everyone gathered before a massive mountain peak.

The peak pierced the sky, appearing rather majestic.

Upon closer inspection, one would find tendrils of black energy swirling atop the peak.

Amidst the black energy, small points of light flickered intermittently.

As this light continued to flicker, the Copper Dao Marshals present all showed grave expressions.

Zhu Xueshuang stood at the front, alongside three other Silver Dao Marshals, gazing at the light in the sky without a word.

After a long time, Zhu Xueshuang’s voice finally broke the silent night.

"Qin An and his team have already sent word; the Qingxuanniao clan may have entered this peak before us, so we must be extra cautious."

The Silver Dao Marshals nodded slightly.

They had been gathered here for a long time, but none had set foot on the mountain peak because the Heart of the Gale had not been claimed by anyone.

And now, the reason they still hadn’t gone in was their plan to gain from the others’ efforts.

If it weren’t for the information from Qin An, they wouldn’t know about the layout of the Azure Bird Clan, and at this moment, they might have already headed for the Heart of the Gale at the mountain’s summit.

If they united their strength and rushed toward the Heart of the Gale, the Azure Bird Clan would certainly have other places to flee after seizing the Heart.

But after receiving the information, they changed their plan.

Zhu Xueshuang turned to look at the densely packed Tong Daoshuai, waved her sleeve, and said, "Everyone, spread out and surround this mountain for me. The four of us will take the lead. If the Azure Bird Clan tries to escape with the Heart of the Gale, kill them on the spot and seize the Heart of the Gale."

This was their plan.

Since the opponent had come first, let them test these unknown dangers for them.

When the Azure Bird Clan takes the Heart of the Gale, they will inevitably attempt to escape.

When they flee down the mountain path, they will be ambushed and attacked by the Evil Extermination Bureau and others.

It was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The crowd agreed in unison upon hearing this and then each sought out their leader, the Silver Dao Marshal, and spread out around.

An uninterrupted defense had been set up, and if any place was attacked, a large number of colleagues would rush to the spot.

...

At this moment, the mountain path was dark.

In this massive mountain, Qingyu had already led many members of the Azure Bird Clan here.

Ahead, the Heart of the Gale shimmered with ethereal brilliance.

The gales swirled around it as if paying homage to it.

Qingyu glanced back, noticing that some clan members had already perished, causing a tinge of sorrow in his expression.

The dangers within this massive mountain range were many, and even he had no time to attend to them all.

Fortunately, they had overcome the dangers and finally arrived here.

A member of the Azure Bird clan suddenly spoke loudly, interrupting Qingyu’s contemplation.

"My lord, the people of the Evil Extermination Bureau haven’t come up; they’ve surrounded the mountain."

Qingyu was about to seize the Heart of the Gale when he heard these words, turned immediately, a glint of brutality flashing in his eyes.

"How can that be? Do they know we’ve already arrived here in advance?"

According to his plan, they would seize the Heart of the Gale the moment the Exorcism Division arrived, then retreat along the weakest point.

But now it seemed there was no way to retreat.

The speaking Azure Bird fell silent, as Qingyu’s words had hit the mark.

Qingyu gritted his teeth, then turned to look at the Heart of the Gale.

"Take it, then run for your life. Gather all our clansmen at one point and break through the weakest spot!"

He knew his plan had failed, and also realized this might be the only way to escape.

The Heart of the Gale must be taken; even if it’s not taken now, the Evil Extermination Bureau won’t spare them.

Given this, they might as well fight with all their might.

The Azure Bird members present all showed serious expressions, then Qingyu waved his sleeve, a gust of wind swept up, enveloping the Heart of the Gale, and he stored it in his sleeve.

The shimmering brilliance in the sky suddenly vanished, leaving the surroundings in darkness.

Qingyu looked up, observing the dense figures at the foot of the mountain, then chose a direction and led the Azure Birds charging towards it.

At this moment, when the light disappeared, the Tong Daoshuai present were all on high alert.

Zhu Xueshuang, leading Qin An and others, was stationed at one location.

While they patiently waited, suddenly a battle cry erupted from the northern position.

Simultaneously, a massive burst of firelight soared into the sky,

signals sent by their colleagues.

Zhu Xueshuang rose and said, "Gentlemen, follow me to support and slay these foul creatures!"

"At your command!"

The earth-shattering shouts echoed into the clouds.

Numerous Tong Daoshuai followed Zhu Xueshuang, rushing swiftly toward the towering flames.

The other Silver Dao Marshals led their subordinates toward the area too.

At this moment, the north had already become a battlefield.

The creatures and members of the Evil Extermination Bureau were engaged in a fierce battle.

The Azure Bird Clan was adept at using raging winds as an attack means, virtually penetrating every corner.

But this group of Tong Daoshuai of the Evil Extermination Bureau, bolstered by the foundation of countless Secret Techniques, were among the highest combat ranks within the Tianyun Dao Realm.

At this moment, the two sides exchanged blows, with casualties gradually spreading.

A Silver Dao Marshal wielding dual rings was in combat with Qingyu.

However, the Silver Dao Marshal was not in good shape.

Qingyu commanded the raging winds, launching continuous onslaughts.

The Silver Dao Marshal had already sustained considerable injuries.

Qingyu laughed wildly, "Old thing, get out of my way. You can’t handle me now. I possess the Heart of the Gale, enhancing my wind-based Cultivation Technique. Don’t lose your life because of this!"

The Silver Dao Marshal holding the dual rings exuded an intimidating aura of the Element Transformation Realm, his eyes emanating a cold, ice-like hue.

"A mere feathered creature dares to make grand speeches here. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, more colleagues will arrive. Let’s see how arrogant you will be then."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu’s face gradually darkened.

He couldn’t take down this Silver Dao Marshal in a short time, even with the Heart of the Gale.

And while Qingyu continued his onslaught, the sound of the wind came from all directions.

The terrifying whistle of the wind enveloped this battlefield.

Qingyu glanced back, fear-stricken.
