Chapter 101 - 79: Dare two mere Energy Refinement Late Stage cultivators to ambush me?_1
“Sister Miaoge, Miaoyun might give birth in a few days, so I plan to leave for Qingzhu Mountain today.”
That day, Lu Changsheng went to the Spiritual Talisman Shop and said to Lu Miaoge.
He had already discussed this matter with Lu Miaoge before.
Planning to go back these two months in advance.
To try to be there when Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen’s child is born.
“Alright, be careful on your way, I’ll keep an eye on the shop here,”
Hearing this, Lu Miaoge nodded slightly and spoke softly.
After saying farewell to Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng left Nine Dragons Marketplace alone, mounted the Iron Feather Eagle, and embarked on his journey to Qingzhu Mountain.
Just as Lu Changsheng was exiting the gates of Nine Dragons Marketplace,
at a restaurant nearby, a lean middle-aged man revealed a trace of unusual brightness in his eyes and took out a Transmission Talisman from his person.
High above the clouds, an Iron Feather Eagle soared.
“Could it be that something unexpected will happen on my way home alone?”
Sitting cross-legged on the Iron Feather Eagle, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but worry.
It was alright when he was with Lu Miaoge.
It was only his first trip to Nine Dragons Market that he worried about potential mishaps.
But after two round trips, he felt much better.
Suddenly traveling alone now made him feel a bit uneasy again.
“Sigh, I really am a person who fears death and lacks a sense of security,”
“Even with thirty-four Superior Grade Talismans, one Supreme Talisman, and a Talisman Treasure on me, I still feel insecure,”
Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly, with a clear understanding of himself.
After the Iron Feather Eagle flew for half a day, the unease in Lu Changsheng’s heart calmed down a lot.
He thought, how could there be so many dangers?
However, just at that moment,
“Screech”
The Iron Feather Eagle, soaring through the clouds, seemed to be stimulated by something, letting out a sharp and noisy cry.
It made Lu Changsheng, who was sitting quietly on its back, feel his heart leap.
Before he could understand what was happening, the Iron Feather Eagle spread its wings and dove towards a mountain peak below.
“What’s going on?”
Lu Changsheng quickly grabbed the Iron Feather Eagle’s feathers to avoid being thrown off and took out the Beast Control Token.
Through the Beast Control Token, he could sense an anxious and restless emotion coming from the Iron Feather Eagle.
As if something on the mountain peak ahead was luring it.
“Could it be that there’s some rare treasure or Spirit Fruit maturing on that mountain peak?”
Lu Changsheng’s first thought was that.
However, he didn’t entertain such thoughts.
Because it is recorded in the books that when most rare treasures and exotic fruits mature, powerful Demon Beasts will be guarding them.
It wasn’t something he, a mere fourth level Qi Refinement weakling, could contemplate.
Lu Changsheng didn’t think any further. He immediately used the Beast Control Token to soothe the Iron Feather Eagle and commanded it to continue flying on the path.
The Iron Feather Eagle, which was diving towards the mountain peak, hesitated slightly at his command.
But the next moment, it let out an even noisier cry from its beak and furiously dove towards the mountain peak ahead.
“This is definitely not the maturation of some rare treasure!”
“The Iron Feather Eagle, having been tamed, would normally never disobey an order and go out of control under normal circumstances!”
Lu Changsheng’s face darkened, holding tightly to the Iron Feather Eagle, realizing something was not quite right.
But facing this situation, he didn’t know how to handle the emergency.
As the Iron Feather Eagle got closer and closer to the mountain peak, suddenly,
“Swoosh, swoosh”
Two sounds of slicing through the air rang out.
Lu Changsheng immediately saw two sword lights shooting towards him like rainbows.
The cold gleam of Sword Qi breathed in and out in the air, emitting a ‘buzzing’ sound that intimidated the soul.
“Not good!”
In that moment, even if Lu Changsheng was slow to react, he realized that he was being ambushed.
He understood why the Iron Feather Eagle had suddenly gone out of control.
Without waiting to think more, two Flying Swords were already coming at him, one before the other.
“Clang! Clang!”
When the two Flying Swords neared his body, he saw a green qi barrier appearing around him, accompanied by the rustling sound of his Magical Robe fluttering, and a pale light from the spirit pendant on his chest, forming a water-blue shield, stopping the two Flying Swords outside.
These were the passive Body-Protecting Techniques of his robe’s Magic Artifact and the spirit pendant.
However, under the onslaught of the Flying Swords, both protective techniques dimmed considerably.
Lu Changsheng’s face darkened, without time to be scared or hesitate, he immediately took out a talisman from his Storage Bag.
He used a Flying Ascension Talisman and a Golden Light Barrier Talisman on himself.
Causing the wind to rise under his feet and a sense of lightness to envelop him, allowing for brief flight, and a thick layer of Golden Bell enveloped him.
“Clang! Clang!”
The two sharp rainbow-like Flying Swords struck at Lu Changsheng again, colliding with the bell and producing two sonorous metallic sounds.
Even with the protection of the Golden Bell Shield Talisman, Lu Changsheng felt a great force shock his body.
But the shock didn’t harm him; it merely made him somewhat unsteady on the back of the Iron Feather Eagle.
“Escape!”
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng, aided by the Flying Ascension Talisman, leaped into the air from the back of the Iron Feather Eagle and fled in the opposite direction.
Now that he knew someone was setting him up, he also roughly guessed why the Iron Feather Eagle lost control and was frantically diving towards the mountain peak.
It was certainly not because of some exotic fruit maturing.
It was a Demon Attracting Fragrance!
A kind of incense made specifically for Demon Beasts.
It was capable of attracting Demon Beasts, making those with little spiritual intelligence be instinctively drawn by it, filled with wildness.
Many hunters and Cultivators would use Demon Attracting Fragrance to lure and hunt Demon Beasts.
The way the Iron Feather Eagle was behaving, it was most likely affected by the Demon Attracting Fragrance.
