Chapter 92: Huge Gains

Even though he had no idea what was going on, it was great news for Shang Xia and the others.

With the Mutated Rain Swallows guiding them, they were able to accurately pick off those who were out of place. They could also accurately estimate the strength of those who were running off in groups to decide whether or not to make a move on them.

As such, their efficiency was great! The number of cultivators at the Martial Extremity Realm who died in their hands numbered close to ten. They even managed to kill three cultivators at the Martial Intent Realm!

One had to know that even during the battle, the number of Martial Intent Realm cultivators on the Tongyou Peak who died numbered less than ten!

The casualties of Martial Intent Realm cultivators on the side of the Four Spiritual Peak were a little more than theirs, but they wouldn’t go so far as to say that twenty of them died.

No matter which side it was, the Martial Intent Realm cultivators were the true backbone of their fighting strength. Every one of them that died would drastically reduce the fighting strength of their faction.

The only weird thing that Shang Xia and gang experienced was that those who they killed along the way were cultivators of the Wind Swallow Race.

After Yun Yifei noticed it, Shang Xi did too. “Yeah… All of them are cultivators of the Wind Swallow Race with the Sparrow Bloodline!”

Yun Zhidai thought for a second and continued, “No wonder they’re so easy to kill. I heard that cultivators with the Swallow Bloodline are comparable to those who had comprehended a martial intent. At the same cultivation level, they would be able to suppress us in a one-on-one fight!”

Sun Haiwei raised an eyebrow in surprise. “That might not be the case. Maybe we managed to kill more of them because they sent more members to the battlefield?”

Thinking about it, it was indeed easier for cultivators in the Azure Spiritual World to cultivate compared to those in the Azure Origin World.

Yun Yifei turned to Shang Xia and a smirk formed on her face. “Alright, alright, let’s hear it from the kid himself. Little Xia, explain what’s going on.”

Sun Haiwei and Yun Zhidai turned to look at him.

The two of them were seriously shocked when they saw how the Lightning Bird landed on his arm before they set off.

After learning that the Lightning Bird controlled a giant flock of Mutated Rain Swallows and that Shang Xia could communicate with them, envy filled their hearts.

Shang Xia thought for a second and shook his head. “I don’t know what’s going on either. I can only make a guess.”

“Maybe, the bloodlines of those in the Wind Swallow Race resonate with the Mutated Rain Swallows and they’re easier to find! Of course, it’s also possible that they’re taking revenge on those of the Wind Swallow Race!” Shang Xia explained.

Soon, Shang Xia told them about the fact that the members of the Wind Swallow Race raided the nest of the Mutated Rain Swallows.

Yun Yifei chuckled in amusement, “I heard that the conflict between those with the Swallow Bloodline and the Sparrow Bloodline became extremely intense right before the battle. The number of cultivators who had the Swallow Bloodline and joined in the battle was few and far between. A Martial Extermination Realm expert with the Sparrow Bloodline was killed. Now, we killed another three of them at the Martial Intent Realm. Adding on those killed by other people, those with the Sparrow Bloodline would decline greatly! Wouldn’t this mean that we’re helping those with the Swallow Bloodline?”

Shang Xi snorted, “Perhaps those with the Swallow Bloodline have been using us to plot against the rest.”

Since Shang Xia was completely responsible for what was going on in the Wind Swallow Race, he knew better than any one of them.

Of course, he couldn’t say a thing about it. He laughed it off, “Whatever the case, those who died are from the Four Spiritual Peak. Our opponent will become weaker no matter what.”

Yun Yifei added, “Yeah! They are experts in the Martial Intent Realm anyway. We get to keep their treasures after killing them. We can also gain some merits in the institution. Why shouldn’t we kill them?”

Realizing that Sun Haiwei and Yun Zhidai were starting to believe his nonsense, he chuckled, “Shall we continue?”

The group continued on their way, but suddenly, a loud whistle tore through the battlefield between two worlds.

The moment they heard it, Shang Xia felt the inner qi in his body going out of control. His consciousness turned fuzzy.

Instinctively, Shang Xia rotated the Yin Yang Diagram in his dantian. The inner qi that was rampaging around his body started to calm down.

At the same time, he heard a yell from Yun Yifei. “It’s a divine weapon! Quick, focus your attention on your inner qi and control it properly!”

Shang Xia looked at the others, including Shang Xi, who had closed her eyes to focus on circulating her inner qi.

After thinking about it for a second, he closed his eyes too and pretended to circulate his inner qi with much difficulty.

It didn’t take long for another screeching to pierce through the air. It countered the whistling that came earlier.

Shang Xia could feel a wave of comfort washing through his body when the second sound came. He seemed to become much more alert too.

Opening his eyes slowly he saw Yun Yifei and Shang Xi heaving a sigh of relief.

“Luckily, our Tongyou Institution also has the protection of the divine weapons!”

Shang Xi got to her feet, and Yun Yifei did the same. By that time, Sun Haiwei and Yun Zhidai also managed to suppress their inner qi.

Shang Xi muttered, “If Patriarch Kou is recovering from his injuries, Deputy Patriarch Yun should be the one who used the Hidden Snow Sword to threaten the passage between the battlefield…”

Yun Yifei shook her head and sighed, “This isn’t something we’re qualified to know about.”

Weapons were split into two different tiers. Graded weapons were of the lower tier and they were split into high, mid, and low grades. Divine weapons were shrouded in mystery. Shang Xia didn’t know too much about it, and all he knew was that they were split up into four different levels. They were the Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow grades respectively. Of course, there were some differences at each level. That was about all he knew.

Shang Xia believed that even Yun Yifei and Shang Xi wouldn’t know much about them.

Thinking of something, Shang Xi added, “That’s probably the reason why they didn’t return to the Four Spiritual Peak!”

Shang Xi continued, “The Four Spiritual Peak probably brought out their divine weapon in order to scare Deputy Patriarch Ji and the others away! The cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak who were retreating should be afraid that they would be killed by the backlash of the exchange between the Martial Extermination Realm cultivators.”

One had to admit that she was extremely sharp. She managed to understand what was going on immediately.

Yun Yifei nodded in acknowledgment. “That has to be it. The Four Spiritual Peaks wouldn’t bring out their divine weapon otherwise. Despite our institution reacting quickly, the exchange between the Martial Extermination Realm cultivators won’t last for long…”

Yun Zhidai added, “Wouldn’t that mean that the cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak would be returning soon?”

Sun Haiwei jumped to her feet, “What are we waiting for? We’ll take advantage of this and kill them before they return!”

The four ladies turned to look at Shang Xia, but all they heard was a loud screech coming from above.

The four of them looked up, only to see a silver light falling straight towards Shang Xia’s shoulders. The Lightning Bird started to chirp urgently.

No one knew why, but they seemed to hear a sense of urgency in its chirps.

Shang Xia rubbed its ears slowly to calm it down, but his expression started to turn serious. “Danger? There’s danger everywhere?! Even you guys were affected?”

Shang Xia tried to understand what it was saying exactly, but due to the difference in breed, it was hard for them to communicate.

Now, the Lightning Bird seemed to have lost control of itself. The killing intent that was ingrained deep in its bones started to show itself once more.

Shang Xia could tell the general message the Lightning Bird was trying to tell him. The sense of danger seemed to have taken over the entire flock of Mutated Rain Swallows.

Turning to Yun Yifei and Shang Xi, Shang Xia muttered, “Something seems to be wrong. We gained quite a lot this time and I suggest that we play safe and return to the Tongyou Peak.”

Yun Zhidai hesitated for a second. “Are you sure? Is it possible that the news isn’t accurate?”

Shang Xia ruffled the feathers of the Lightning Bird and said seriously, “I trust the little creature!”

Even though he said that, Shang Xia sighed softly in his heart. If only he brought Yan Ni’er with him. He would be able to understand it a lot better than the Lightning Bird!

However, the bird seemed to be wholly focused on its egg. No one knew if any one of the eggs would hatch into a little Yan Ni’er.

Shang Xi and Yun Yifei exchanged glances and Yun Yifei eventually broke the silence, “Little Xia is right. However, we don’t need to return immediately. We can take the other route back. We might run into several cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak that way!”

Thinking that it was a good idea, Shang Xia was about to agree. However, dozens of Mutated Rain Swallows rushed out of the forestry and chirped violently.

Shang Xia was stunned for a second and he yelled, “There’s a lot of dangerous creatures running over in our direction right now!”

Yun Yifei was stunned for a second, but Shang Xi seemed to have thought of something.

“Beast tide?”

The blood drained from Yun Yifei’s face and her voice trembled weakly, “Quick! Report this to Deputy Patriarch Ji and the others! We have to warn the Tongyou Peak immediately!”
