CHAPTER 776: CHAPTER 774: IT SEEMS HE WAS TRICKED

The incense master held reservations about Yun Ran’s words, but Yun Ran’s expression was so convincing that he had no choice but to drop the matter.

Waiting for Yun Ran’s group of three people to adjust to standing in the sunlight.

He then adopted a welcoming attitude and said, "Welcome to our Main Altar."

Xie Xuzhi quickly glanced around the vicinity and came to a conclusion.

No wonder over the years, despite mobilizing so many people, it had been impossible to locate the stronghold of these Black Robed People.

If the place that looked like a fairyland before them, with an unknown level of danger, was their stronghold, it made sense.

No one could have thought that the headquarters of the Black Robed People was actually at the heart of Death Mountain.

Upon this realization, Xie Xuzhi felt he understood the horror that had always been associated with Death Mountain—there was definitely someone behind it.

The danger was real, but if there wasn’t a human cause involved, he was prepared to risk his own head.

At this moment, Yun Ran’s clearly impatient voice also sounded.

"What’s there to welcome? If possible, I wouldn’t want to be here at all. Only you lot can lie with your eyes open!"

The only person who would dare speak like this was probably Yun Ran.

Suddenly, a swift shadow flew directly at Yun Ran, and they heard the sound of air being sliced.

By the time their eyes could discern what it was, under normal circumstances, it was already too late to dodge.

Xie Xuzhi watched in alarm as a massive eagle swooped down from the sky, its sharp talons seemingly poised to tear Yun Ran apart.

The word ’Caution’ hadn’t even escaped his throat.

Ginsengfruit, at some unknown moment, had already snatched his whip back from the incense master.

Then he swung the whip at the rapidly approaching eagle.

A high and mournful bird cry suddenly rang out and then abruptly stopped.

"What the heck? Trying to ambush my master right in front of me? Do you think I’m dead?"

At this moment, although Ginsengfruit was small in stature, in Xie Xuzhi’s eyes, he seemed inexplicably grand.

He swallowed the words he had intended to say and moved closer to Yun Ran.

His gaze wary as he looked at the eagle that had been whipped onto the grass, still rolling several times.

The incense master’s eyes glanced at his waist and then at the whip in Ginsengfruit’s hand.

His gaze was full of question marks.

Then, his eyes grew even more fervent. He knew the whip was no ordinary item!

To think it could whip even a spiritual eagle into such a state, when before, if this eagle wanted to grab people, it would never show mercy.

One swipe could shred a person in half if it didn’t intend to hold back.

"I’m going to eat you all!"

After rolling a few times, the eagle stabilized its stance, and when its sharp eyes looked at Yun Ran’s group, they were filled with intense hatred.

Birds holding grudges was nothing unusual, but for this eagle to be able to speak human words was undoubtedly extraordinary.

However, its threat might be effective against ordinary people, but to Yun Ran, it held no intimidation at all.

After all, she’s someone who dares to whip even the Dragon Spirit.

"I never eat Life that has awakened spiritual wisdom, but now, I want to set a precedent!"

Upon hearing this, Ginsengfruit’s eyes brightened.

He wasn’t human; if it weren’t for the Host’s restraint, he would have wanted to taste the legendary dragon meat to see if it was really so delicious.

Later, after becoming familiar with the Dragon Spirit, he discarded this dangerous thought.

However, if the Host really wanted to eat the eagle now...

Slurp~ Ginsengfruit found himself drooling a bit; this kind of eagle must taste great!

Feeling Ginsengfruit’s unabashed drool, the previously threatening eagle inexplicably felt its heart sink, as if being stared down by the Grim Reaper.

Created spiritual Great Demons like it had exceptionally high Perception.

Even though it felt the seemingly dangerous small human wasn’t worth a single talon, it still felt very dangerous.

Immediately, it flapped its wings, trying to flee from there.

With a "crack" sound, the eagle’s wings fractured.

"Ah, it hurts like hell!"

Except for Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit, everyone present, including those watching secretly, were a bit taken aback.

Completely unable to believe that just one whip could actually break the wings of a spiritual eagle.

What kind of joke is this, is this some kind of fantasy event!

Ginsengfruit lifted his head, lightly flicking his whip: "My master said she wants to eat you; do you still want to run? You’re dreaming!"

Making threats was something Ginsengfruit had become quite adept at.

Yun Ran looked satisfyingly at the scene, then started stepping toward the eagle’s direction one step at a time.

The eagle wanted to retreat, but having its wings broken, naturally, its movement was restricted.

When Yun Ran stood before the eagle at a distance of just one meter, she stopped her steps.

A harmless smile appeared on her face, but what she said made the eagle’s feathers stand on end.

"Just now, you were aiming for my arm, weren’t you? If I couldn’t dodge, this arm would have been useless.

Now, my little disciple has crippled your pair of wings; let’s call it even.

However, just now you said you wanted to eat us. If I don’t retaliate, won’t you Great Demons think we humans are easy to bully?"

As Yun Ran spoke, she reached out, and with a speed so fast, the eagle couldn’t react.

Its wings were directly torn off by Yun Ran.

The scent of blood immediately permeated the air.

But oddly enough, when the blood dripped onto the grass, it was immediately absorbed by the weeds, leaving no trace.

Yun Ran slightly furrowed her brows, gazing at the thriving grass, feeling only disgust in her heart.

The eagle had both of its wings torn off by Yun Ran, fainting dead on the spot without even a scream.

Yun Ran disdainfully threw the wings to the ground; she was merely scaring those Great Demons with spiritual wisdom.

She wouldn’t eat them; they were utterly repulsive.

Ginsengfruit, delighted, went up to clean up the aftermath, not caring at all what other reactions might these others have upon seeing this.

The nearby incense master, having witnessed the scene, swallowed hard as he stood not far away from Yun Ran.

He seemed to have underestimated Yun Ran, thinking her retaliated against and captured, making her harmless.

If previously, when they were in the tunnel, Yun Ran and her disciple wanted to make a move and escape...

Upon this thought, the incense master felt awful; it seems he had been fooled, and Yun Ran willingly came along!
