NOVPUB"Is it raised by that villain, or could it be… this Spirit Chicken is the main culprit that stole the treasure tree?"
As a Fourth-Order Spirit Beast, its Spiritual Wisdom is hardly any different from that of a Human Cultivator.
In the Demon Sect, there are also Fourth-Order Spirit Beasts with opened Spiritual Wisdom.
It’s not impossible for it to have taken the Fire Style treasure tree and hidden away in the Northsea Continent.
On the contrary, it’s quite reasonable!
Gong Xiyin didn’t say anything further, and his third eye on the forehead opened again, emitting divine light that enveloped the black Spirit Chicken.
After a short while, a hint of surprise emerged in his eyes:
"The Spirit Chicken is laying eggs right now!"
"No wonder we are right under its nose, but it hasn’t made a move!"
"A God-given opportunity!"
"Now is the best chance to capture it!"
Even to these holy children, a Fourth-Order Top Grade Spirit Beast was not something to take lightly.
After all, times have changed.
Several holy children have died in succession, and the strength of this generation, compared to the previous one, had clearly declined.
There was a sense of no one to succeed the previous generation.
Except for the first holy child who still possessed a Fulfillment-stage Nascent Soul Cultivation Base, even the second holy child, Yan Zhenyi, was only at the Nascent Soul Later Stage.
And whether it’s Bian Burang or Gong Xiyin, they were only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
Although they had Protectors arranged by the sect, their strength was just so-so.
Thinking this way, although there were no changes on the faces of the four, there was a strong sense of competition in their hearts.
However, Yan Zhenyi was a little more meticulous in his thinking, and immediately said in a deep voice:
"Let’s catch it first!"
"Let’s do it together!"
The other three looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Gong Xiyin took the initiative and said:
"I have a Spirit-devouring Ghost Net gifted by my master!"
Yan Zhenyi nodded and said:
"Then let Junior Brother Gong take the lead, and we will assist from the side!"
Bian Burang was somewhat reluctant, but capturing the Spirit Chicken was the most important thing at the moment.
Gong Xiyin immediately slapped his waist.
A black net enveloped in yin wind and carrying the sound of laughter suddenly pounced out from his waist.
On this net, there were faintly twelve bells.
From each bell, the sound of children’s laughter could be heard.
Except for Shen Fu, the Nascent Soul Cultivators behind the three all moved forward tacitly and quickly.
Each took hold of one of the bells.
With Mana pouring in, the net rapidly expanded, and under the guidance of the Protectors, it enveloped the black Spirit Chicken.
Yet the black Spirit Chicken was still closing its eyes, as if it had no awareness of everything happening outside.
"It seems that the Spirit Chicken feels safe here, so it purposely stole the treasure tree and came here to lay and hatch eggs… but it didn’t expect us to find it," said Bian Burang, unable to suppress a smile.
At this moment, Gong Xiyin suddenly sent a message to Yan Zhenyi and Bian Burang:
"I just saw that there is already an egg beneath the Spirit Chicken."
"Hmm?"
Both Bian Burang and Yan Zhenyi’s expressions tightened slightly, and subtly, the three of them exchanged glances.
One chicken, two eggs, four holy children...
"Done!"
Gong Xiyin spoke again.
In an instant, the net scooped up both the black Spirit Chicken and the large egg that had already been laid beneath it!
This seemed to be a signal of sorts.
Yan Zhenyi’s figure swayed slightly.
Deliberately or not, he positioned himself between the black Spirit Chicken and Shen Fu.
He smiled at Shen Fu, seemingly amiable.
Bian Burang also had a smile on his face,
"Junior Brother Shen, after we return, I will give you the sap of the Azure Fire Paulownia Tree."
Shen Fu narrowed his eyes slightly.
He could clearly see the silent understanding in the actions of these three people, couldn’t he?
It was obvious that they were excluding him from sharing their loot.
He smiled slightly and didn’t get annoyed.
He wasn’t someone who couldn’t read the situation; such circumstances were normal within the Demon Sect.
Besides, he hadn’t contributed much to this mission, and since he was promised the ’sap of the Azure Fire Paulownia Tree,’ his goal was achieved.
Thereupon, he tactfully retreated a few steps.
He made his stance clear.
However, his eyes soon flashed with a hint of surprise.
In his ears, he could hear Yan Zhenyi and Bian Burang’s voices filled with apology.
Both expressed how they were coerced by each other and Gong Xiyin to sink to their level, and reassured that there would be compensation later.
"Are they worried about my revenge? Or, are they afraid of the rumors about the holy child nemesis?"
With a thought, Shen Fu guessed the reason behind their actions, and couldn’t help but feel speechless and amused.
He was aware of that so-called nemesis of holy children and found it utterly nonsensical.
"Luck, how could there be such a thing that only brings misfortune specifically to holy children."
Not just him, Gong Xiyin, who was opposite him, with a vertical eye that opened and closed slightly, also noticed Yan Zhenyi and Bian Burang’s subtle movements.
He sneered secretly,
"These two are both holy children, and they believe this! If he really had such ability, I’d eat this tree!"
Thinking to himself.
He quickly ordered the surrounding Protectors, "Put in more effort, once it’s fully refined, we can completely control it!"
However, at that moment.
The black Spirit Chicken, which had kept its eyes closed within the net, suddenly opened them!
Its cold pupils were filled with anger, savagery, and tension:
"Damn it! I can sense the aura of the God-Sealing Bell!"
"He actually followed me here!" 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
"I must... Eh?"
It suddenly paused, bewilderedly turning its head to look at the net covering it and the Demon Sect cultivators around the net.
In its pupils was a trace of astonishment and confusion.
And very quickly, that astonishment and confusion turned into extreme anger!
"All of you! Did you follow his request to capture me?!"
"With you all, it’s a fight to the death!"
The voice vibrated throughout the entire pit.
"Quickly, put in more effort!"
Gong Xiyin urged anxiously.
Yan Zhenyi and Bian Burang also realized that something was amiss and immediately kicked away an Early Nascent Soul Stage Protector.
Rushing forward, they quickly poured in their mana!
However, with a soft chirp!
The black Spirit Chicken suddenly spread its wings!
A pair of vertical pupils shot open.
The next moment, everyone’s vision suddenly became blurry.
Only Gong Xiyin’s vertical eye on his forehead suddenly opened wide.
In his shocked gaze.
