Chapter 114 The Divine Bird Chirps
The dark figure wasn't large, maybe the size of a palm-leaf fan? It charged straight at her with astonishing speed.
Black Mountain Monster's wife had no time to react. Although she turned her head to avoid being hit in the face, she was hit squarely in the chest by the little black bird.
That wasn't the end of it. The moment the black bird hit its target, it suddenly exploded on the spot without warning.
The explosion was deafening.
Lin Zhifeng and the others were stunned and had no time to react.
Even Ding Mo and the Black Mountain Monster, who were fighting, were affected and their battle paused.
The Black Mountain Monster glanced at his wife and found her lying unconscious on the ground with a large, dark hole in her chest.
Now I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life!
Black Mountain Monster let out a miserable cry: "Yunmei!" He disregarded his own safety and rushed over to check on his wife's condition.
His action completely exposed his back to Ding Mo. Ding Mo didn't hesitate and seized the opportunity to strike him in the back with a sword.
After being stabbed, the Black Mountain Monster struggled to crawl to his wife's side. He only to find his beloved Yun Mei already mortally wounded, with only a mouthful of food left to swallow.
Black Mountain Monster was also at his last gasp, and neither of them knew whose injury was more serious.
The Sword Sect disciples who witnessed the entire process all had the same expression: their mouths were agape, wide enough to swallow an egg.
Is that Chirp? Is it that chubby little bird that eats all the time but never grows?
"This is incredible! Is this the power of the divine phoenix?" Lin Jun murmured.
Lin Zhifeng didn't have time to think about how powerful he was; the first thing he did was rush towards Qiuqiu.
He didn't care whether he would be hurt by the Black Mountain Monster and his wife's desperate struggle; he just wanted to see how his precious Chuchu was doing!
The explosion triggered by Chiu Chiu was so powerful that it affected an area within a ten-meter radius of the Black Mountain Monster's wife.
The White Tiger Beast, which had previously fought against the wife of the Black Mountain Monster, was also unable to dodge because it was closest to the center of the explosion.
Although it wasn't a direct victim like the Black Mountain Monster's wife, who was blown to bits, it was still affected by the aftershocks of the explosion. Now it lies on the ground, covered in wounds, and looks like it's on the verge of death.
The White Tiger Beast was a divine beast, and it was still affected by the aftershocks of the explosion. How could Little Chirp, such a small creature, be so badly hurt? Lin Zhifeng's heart bled at the thought.
In the midst of his busy schedule, he took a moment to feed a high-grade healing pill to the white tiger beast, then bypassed it to search for Qiuqiu.
Chiu Chiu fell to the ground after the explosion, and when Lin Zhifeng found it, it was already unconscious.
It was so small, lying quietly on the ground, motionless.
Lin Zhifeng felt as if a giant hand was gripping his heart, causing him pain and a sense of oppression...
Lin Zhifeng carefully picked up Qiuqiu, only to find its feathers all ruffled. Although the feathers weren't singed, they were now disheveled, and the messy feathers made the bird look a size larger than before.
Lin Zhifeng still doesn't know if Qiuqiu is injured or not. Is her unconsciousness caused by serious injury or something else? He is heartbroken and frantic.
The system then kindly said, "Master, it seems to be fine. It just used up too much energy at once and fell asleep from exhaustion."
Lin Zhifeng was overjoyed: "Is that so? That's great!"
He carefully put Qiuqiu back into his storage ring so that he could rest properly inside.
Lin Jun and the others didn't know how Qiuqiu was doing, and they didn't dare to ask, for fear of upsetting Lin Zhifeng.
Ding Mo took on the responsibility of command and began assigning Sword Sect disciples to handle the cleanup work.
The members of the Ghost Realm Sect and the buyers were imprisoned in the dungeon they had previously been in, awaiting further processing.
When the Ghostly Sect imprisoned the Sword Sect disciples and swaggered around in their place, they never imagined they'd one day be imprisoned themselves. What a swift karmic retribution!
The Black Mountain Monster and his wife were given a healing pill, which temporarily kept them alive while they awaited further action.
Although the entire hall was almost completely destroyed, not many people actually died.
About ten disciples of the Sword Sect were seriously injured, but Lin Zhifeng fed them high-grade healing pills produced by the system. Given time to recuperate, they are all in good health.
It can be said that they have won a resounding victory! Even more commendable is that no one died. For them, this is the best possible outcome.
Ding Mo then sent disciples to deliver messages to the major sects in the cultivation world, reporting on the various events that had occurred there. As for how to deal with the murderer, he requested that they send someone to decide.
Soon, the major sects responded, sending their elders to the Ghost Realm Sect.
These powerful figures all possessed cultivation levels above the Void Refining Realm, arriving unexpectedly by tearing through space.
Of course, the Sword Sect also sent people. The First Elder naturally came because he was concerned about his disciple, and the Seventh Elder was worried about Lin Jun's safety. So the Sword Sect sent two First Elders this time, which shows that they attached great importance to it.
With the big shots arriving, there's nothing left for the junior disciples to do.
After Ding Mo finished handing over the duties to the senior members, the disciples of the Sword Sect could go and rest.
Because they still needed to understand the situation from them, they couldn't leave the Ghost Realm Gate for the time being. But at least they were free of any trouble and could find an empty room to rest.
Upon learning that Qiuqiu was alright, Lin Jun and the others were happy for Lin Zhifeng.
It's not just because the little fat bird didn't die.
Just think, when this little chick was still a fluffy ball, it could take on a master of the Void Refinement Realm all by itself. Imagine what it would be like when it grew into a phoenix! Wouldn't it be invincible throughout the cultivation world?
Isn't this just like a bug?
From now on, Lin Zhifeng won't have to lift a finger. He can just spit out a whistle at the slightest disagreement, and who wouldn't be afraid?
Lin Zhifeng accepted all their flattery with a smile. He couldn't help but feel a little smug.
There's one thing he's not quite sure about: when exactly will Chiu Chiu grow into an adult bird?
The old father hadn't thought that far ahead, nor did he intend to hide behind his child. His main concern was that while the fledgling's fighting ability was astonishing, it was also terrifying!
The elderly father was terribly frightened, thinking he was about to lose his precious little chick, whom he had hatched and raised (before) even growing up. He didn't want to experience that heart-wrenching pain again.
Therefore, Lin Zhifeng still hopes that Qiuqiu can grow up quickly.
But given Chirp's previous growth rate, there's no use in being anxious.
In the end, it all comes down to "let nature take its course"!
The evil deeds committed by the Ghost Sect over the years deserve no mercy, even if they were to die a hundred times.
The leaders of various sects, especially those sects that had previously lost many elite disciples, showed no mercy in dealing with them.
According to the rules commonly followed in the cultivation world, they were subjected to soul torture before their souls were scattered, causing them to disappear completely.
As for the surviving buyers, they came to buy bodies, intending to immediately perform the act of soul transfer and possession.
However, the problem is that they are currently only at the stage of purchasing, and have not yet actually carried out the act of possession.
So how should these people be dealt with?
Regarding this issue, the experts are now divided into two camps.
One faction argued that since their attempt to possess another's body hadn't actually occurred, they shouldn't be punished for that crime; the other faction believed that buying and selling were equally criminal. They claimed they were only stopped by the Sword Sect disciples by chance; if it had been disciples from other sects who had been captured, they would likely have succeeded by now.
The two factions were roughly equal in number, and neither could convince the other, leading to a stalemate.
Lin Jun and the others had long been impatient and wanted to go home, and now they were speechless at the sight of the two arguing.
Privately, Lin Jun complained to Lin Zhifeng, "Little Lin, I regret it now. If only we had been ruthless back then, we could have wiped them out in one fell swoop. We wouldn't have all this trouble now."
"Look at those great saints, they even give a demon who planned to kill and seize a body a chance to repent. It's truly pitiful for their juniors! What's the point of staying in a sect with such high-ranking members?"
Lin Zhifeng knew that Lin Jun, like himself, believed in the principle of equal punishment for buying and selling. Hearing this, he had no choice but to advise him, "Senior brother, be careful what you say! There are too many people here, and if someone with ulterior motives overhears and spreads rumors, it will damage the reputation of our Sword Sect. We junior disciples should just follow orders and not worry about anything else."
