Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Silver Winged Thunderbird Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Silver Winged Thunderbird This form of address was only used within the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and the nine major sects under its dominion.

Apart from that, disciples of the nine sects would never address outsiders in such a way.

But why did Ji Ruyue address Jiang Fan as Junior Brother?

Ji Ruyue puzzledly said, “Junior Brother Jiang is from the Green Cloud Sect.”

“Is it inappropriate for a disciple to call him Junior Brother Jiang?”

What?

Yue Mingzhu was shocked: “Where did he come from?”

“The Green Cloud Sect?”

“You’re not joking with me, are you?”

This prodigy with terrifying martial aptitude, miraculous medical skills, and demonic-level comprehension, who also excelled in body technique and movement technique,

was just a disciple from the Green Cloud Sect, which ranked the lowest among the nine sects?

How could this be possible?

Ji Ruyue was astonished: “Hasn’t the Sect Master heard the name Jiang Fan from the Green Cloud Sect?”

“I thought it was known throughout the nine sects.”

Wait!

Once again, Yue Mingzhu was shocked: “What did you say? He is the disciple without a Spirit Root from the Green Cloud Sect, Jiang Fan?”

Ji Ruyue nodded: “Yes, that’s him.”

Yue Mingzhu felt the world spinning around her.

She could not reconcile the two people in her mind.

When she first learned that Liu Wuchen had taken a disciple without a Spirit Root, she laughed at him.

Who would have thought that this person would turn out to be a genius comparable to a disciple from the Outer Realm Divine Sect?

Thinking of this, her chest felt stifled, uncomfortably:

“That dog Liu Wuchen, did his ancestors’ graves emit green smoke to let him find such a disciple?”

“This is more painful than killing me!”

Xie Liushu’s feelings were complicated.

Even though he was the chief disciple of the Desires Sect and the Sect Master favored him greatly,

she would never show this kind of regretful emotion for him.

Ah, how could a fellow genius like me be so different from Jiang Fan?

“No way! I must take him!”

Yue Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said.

The Desires Sect cultivates the heart.

If she could not act as her heart desired and her thoughts were not clear, what was the point of cultivating the heart?

However.

When she pursued the direction in which Jiang Fan and the others went, she could not see their shadows anywhere.

“Everyone, go find them! We must find him!” Yue Mingzhu ordered.

The disciples looked at each other.

Ji Ruyue reminded: “Sect Master, there is no need to search.”

“Because Junior Brother Jiang’s mission is to escort the Thousand-mile Eagles to our Desires Sect.”

Yue Mingzhu was surprised.

After pondering for a moment, she blinked and said,

“Really?”

“In that case, I’ll wait for him at the Desires Sect.”

“I’ll have some fun with him!”

She smiled slyly, her voice as clear as a silver bell.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fan.

Having descended from the snowy mountain and ensured that the road ahead was clear, he entrusted the surveillance task to the three women.

He then began to ponder over the Earth-level mid-grade leg technique imprinted with Soul Power.

“Three Pure Thunder Shadow Jue.”

“First level, Thunder Dragon Lightning Leg.”

“Once cultivated to great success, it can break top-grade defensive magical treasures.”

Jiang Fan was shocked upon reading this.

He had a top-grade defensive magical treasure that could withstand an attack from the Fifth Level of Core Formation.

But the first layer of the Three Pure Thunder Shadow Jue had the power to penetrate a top-grade defensive magical treasure!

Didn’t that mean,

once this technique was successfully cultivated, it could harm someone at the Fifth Level of Core Formation?

He immediately felt parched and continued reading closely.

However, when he saw the cultivation requirements, he was stunned.

“To cultivate this technique, one must draw thunder and lightning into the body.”

Jiang Fan’s face darkened immediately.

“Is this a joke? How could there be such hidden requirements?”

Previously, the requirement to master a movement technique was already a bit much, but the specific cultivation content actually included such an even harsher requirement.

“Thunder and lightning, the most domineering destructive force of nature, who dares to easily draw thunder into their body?”

Even Cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, as rumored, wouldn’t dare to face the power of thunder.

Only the True Thunder Sect among the nine sects practices a special Cultivation Technique.

They could barely borrow a bit of Heavenly Thunder for their own use.

But that was just borrowing.

Drawing thunder into the body was something even they absolutely wouldn’t dare to try.

He held the paper, feeling quite frustrated.

It seemed like a joy wasted.

Just then.

The escorted Thousand-mile Eagles suddenly flapped their wings restlessly, trying to break free from the chains at their feet.

They cried out anxiously and sharply.

Jiang Fan was startled.

Previously, when the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon appeared, the Thousand-mile Eagles had not reacted like this.

Did they sense some danger?

Though not understanding, he reacted quickly.

He looked around and saw a snow-covered forest not far away.

At once he said, “Quick, hide in the forest!”

Yi Lianxing and the others sensed something was wrong and immediately galloped into the forest.

Before long, they reached the forest and calmed the Thousand-mile Eagles.

Jiang Fan and the others stared tensely around them.

They didn’t make a sound.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind roared through, shaking the entire forest.

From above, the forest looked like rippling waves of wheat in the wind.

This wind was immense!

Next, the area over Jiang Fan and the others darkened.

Looking up, they gasped.

A silver giant bird, spanning twenty fathoms wide, slowly glided over their heads.

Its pitch-black claws were as tall as two people, with each claw as sharp as a scythe.

With a single grip, it could easily crush a small hill!

The terrifying presence it emitted

was bone-chilling.

Jiang Fan recognized it and his pupils contracted: “Silver Winged Thunderhawk!”

“A mature form, an advanced Beast King of the Fifth Level of Core Formation!”

He silently gasped.

According to records,

the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon Beast King they encountered earlier was just prey favored by the Silver Winged Thunderhawk!

If it discovered them,

none of them would escape!

Jiang Fan didn’t need to remind them; the terrifying aura from the Silver Winged Thunderhawk already petrified the group into stillness.

They remained motionless until it disappeared beyond the horizon.

The three women finally panted heavily.

Yi Lianxing’s face was pale: “What was that? Such a terrifying giant bird!”

Jiang Fan said gravely: “It was a Beast King at the Fifth Level of Core Formation!”

“Thankfully, the Thousand-mile Eagles were vigilant; otherwise, we might have perished.”

He gratefully looked at the group of Thousand-mile Eagles.

As fellow birds of the sky, their sense of smell was far more acute than humans when it came to sky predators like the Silver Winged Thunderhawk.

Without them,

it would have been too late when Jiang Fan sensed the danger.

Realizing the terror of the Silver Winged Thunderbird, the others inhaled sharply.

Qin Caihe trembled all over, finally understanding the horror of the Beast Tide.

She urgently asked: “Why is such a top-of-the-food-chain fierce beast appearing within the Desires Sect’s territory?”

Jiang Fan’s face was solemn.

It seemed the rumors about demon beasts stirring along the Desires Sect’s borders were true.

This Silver Winged Thunderhawk was very likely scouting the Desires Sect’s territory, preparing for a Beast Tide.

“We must hurry to the Desires Sect and report this intelligence.”

Jiang Fan was apprehensive.

They emerged from the forest and returned to their original route, continuing onward.

Suddenly.

Chu Xingmeng glanced suspiciously at a snow-covered hill to the right.

She asked in confusion: “Was that hill there earlier?”

“I remember it being a flat area.”

The group looked in the direction of her voice.

Qin Caihe chuckled: “Junior Sister Chu, you must have been scared silly?”

Yi Lianxing added irritably: “Don’t scare yourself!”

Only Jiang Fan, staring at the hill, seemed puzzled: “Actually, there wasn’t a hill here just now…”

Suddenly, all his hair stood on end!

Because he realized!

The hill was moving!

The top of the hill was slowly twisting.

Revealing a bird’s head with mocking eyes!
