The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 499: Enemies Meet At Narrow Road

One hour later.

Two streaks of light landed on a desolate mountaintop.

They were none other than Su Jingzhen and Xuening.

“Too bad, our mounts are still in the Dan Holy City.

They’ve probably been ridden away by Master.

Now we have to fly back on our own flying tools. It’s really tiring,”

Su Jingzhen had been incredibly excited when he first learned to fly on a flying instrument.

But after flying for a while, it just felt… ordinary.

Even though Su Jingzhen didn’t expend much energy flying continuously, it still felt a bit boring.

Hearing his words, Xuening’s lips curled into a gentle smile: “Why don’t I carry you on my flying tool, Brother Su?”

Xuening’s words took Su Jingzhen by surprise.

He smiled and said, “Alright.”

Xuening was surprised. She hadn’t expected Su Jingzhen to agree so easily.

Then, Su Jingzhen took a step forward and stepped directly on her flying sword.

Just like when he was in Yunmeng City and couldn’t fly on a flying instrument.

He boldly placed his hand on Xuening’s slender waist.

Feeling the warmth of Su Jingzhen’s hand, Xuening’s face immediately turned red.

As a result, the atmosphere on the way home on the flying instrument gradually became more intimate.

Even though Xuening had reached the Golden Core level, she was still flying erratically.

Several times, they almost fell from the sky.

During this time, various flying spirit beasts and lone cultivators flew past them.

Most of them came from the Dan Holy City and were returning to their respective homes.

However, most of them didn’t seem to be very interested in Su Jingzhen and Xuening.

During their flight, no one deliberately wanted to investigate others.

There was no need to cause trouble on the way back.

“Cry!”

Just as Su Jingzhen took full advantage of the situation, Xuening felt quite uncomfortable, but was too embarrassed to speak up,

A high-pitched scream suddenly rang out in their ears.

Immediately, a giant Divine Wind Eagle flew past their heads.

Su Jingzhen looked up.

His eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

For this Divine Wind Eagle was none other than the mount from Dongxuan Academy earlier.

As he looked up, the Divine Wind Eagle actually lowered its altitude slightly.

Its sharp claws descended directly towards Su Jingzhen and Xuening.

Su Jingzhen frowned again: “Damn beast, looking for death!”

His killing intent suddenly surged.

He pulled out the Black Brick and swung it at the outstretched claws of the Divine Wind Eagle.

A high-pitched dragon roar suddenly echoed through the void.

His strike unleashed an immense amount of dragon power.

As soon as the dragon’s power appeared, the Divine Wind Eagle’s eyes instinctively showed a hint of fear.

However, by that time, they were already too close.

It was already impossible to retract its claws.

Su Jingzhen’s dragon-shaped qi collided directly with the Divine Wind Eagle’s claws.

The recoil of the qi affected Xuening’s flying instrument.

It veered sharply toward the mountain below.

The outstretched claw of the Divine Eagle was shattered directly.

“Cry…”

A painful scream suddenly rang out.

This Divine Wind Eagle was only a second-level monster, comparable to the Foundation Establishment level.

How could it withstand Su Jingzhen’s single blow?

If it hadn’t been for the person on the Divine Wind Eagle who helped it dissipate the power, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been just one claw that shattered.

After landing on the mountainside, Xuening’s face became quite serious.

She had already sheathed the flying sword she had used to fly earlier, and pulled out an emerald green jade ruler instead.

This clearly meant that she was entering a combat state.

Seeing this, a smile crept onto Su Jingzhen’s lips.

Xuening looked like a little chicken entering into battle mode.

Su Jingzhen stepped forward and gently rubbed her nose, “With Brother Su here, why do you need to fight? Just like before, stand aside and watch Brother Su display his power.”

Hearing his words, Xuening’s expression remained serious: “Even if that’s the case, I still want to fight alongside Brother Su.

After all, I’ve reached the Golden Core stage now, and with so many people from Dongxuan Academy, I should be able to help you stop them.”

After receiving the inheritance from the Yunmeng Goddess statue and reaching the middle stage of the Golden Core, Xuening was noticeably more confident.

As she spoke, a line of golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

[Emotional Bond +12]

[Emotional Bond +12]

[Remaining usable points: 868]

Although he had gained some points, Xuening’s attitude was quite determined.

Su Jingzhen nodded and didn’t say anything.

Then, he silently sent a message to Bai Suzhen at his waist.

“Bai Suzhen, don’t worry about me, just help take care of Xuening.”

As usual, Bai Suzhen didn’t answer him.

But he knew that as long as he mentioned it, Bai Suzhen would be reliable.

At that moment, the Divine Wind Eagle circled around and slowly descended.

Since it had lost a claw, its flying ability was severely affected.

Its breath was also somewhat weak.

On its back, it was indeed Han Ning who was leading the people from Dongxuan Academy.

All ten people from Dongxuan Academy were complete and unharmed.

Even Cang Yun was present.

At this time, Han Ning and another Soul Formation level cultivator looked quite displeased.

As they looked at the Divine Wind Eagle below them, their expressions were filled with anger.

“Damn beast, untamed!”

After scolding the Shenfeng Eagle, his gaze suddenly turned to Su Jingzhen and Xuening.

Seeing them clearly, the expressions of the ten people from Dongxuan Academy changed again.

“No wonder the Divine Wind Eagle disobeyed orders and attacked proactively. It seems that we’ve truly met our match.”

“But why isn’t Shen Yifeng with them? It’s said that Su Jingzhen and this Dantai Clan descendant have gained a lot of wealth inside.

Could this sudden encounter be an opportunity for our Dongxuan Academy?”

“This remote wilderness, with no other cultivators around, it should be quite easy for the elders to defeat them with their strength, right?”

“….”

Upon recognizing Su Jingzhen and Xuening, the eyes of the younger generation of Dongxuan Academy disciples flickered with anticipation.

Many of them secretly hoped to gain some fortune from this encounter.

After all, for most of their time in the Dantai Ruins, Han Ning and the others had only taken them to the outskirts to scavenge.

The core hall was empty, and the treasure vaults such as the Elixir Pavilion, Weapon Pavilion, and Scripture Pavilion had nothing to do with them.

This time, it wasn’t just Cang Yun who had objections to Han Ning and the others.

The others just didn’t dare to express it directly.

Cang Yun, who had been silent for the whole trip, finally showed a change of expression when he saw Su Jingzhen.

His eyes showed a mixture of anger and excitement.

Originally, he had thought that killing Su Jingzhen was a pipe dream.

Su Jingzhen would always remain a nightmare in his heart.

But it seemed that fate had given him another chance.

However, Cang Yun had learned his lesson this time. He didn’t say a word.

He left the decision entirely up to Han Ning. He didn’t believe that Han Ning and the others would be able to resist under these circumstances.

At that moment, Han Ning and the others remained silent for a while.

The atmosphere gradually became heavy and scary.
