Now Little Pink can grow up to fifty meters in size. The three of us sat comfortably on Little Pink's back, heading towards the territory of the Wind Steed Clan. Xiaopu had changed from her previously overly lively demeanor to a gloomy face, sighing heavily.
I couldn't help but laugh, "Hey Xiaopu, I've never seen you like this despite all the threats before."
"Come on, Xi Meng, don't tease me at a time like this!" Xiaopu pouted, glaring at me.
"I'm really curious about what kind of person could make Xiaopu act like this."
"There's nothing to say, just a big Sticky Bug!" Xiaopu said with a look of disgust.
"…You can't really compare someone to a Sticky Bug, can you?" I replied, feeling a bit exasperated.
"You'll understand when you see him. Ugh, he has no skills at all; he's practically the weakest little seedling in the entire academy!"
"Hey, look at how you're talking about him. Isn't he still able to enter the Demon Emperor Silver Hall?" I chuckled.
"Pfft, with the status of the Six Great Clans, getting into our academy isn't a big deal. If it weren't for that lucky Sticky Bug, who knows when he would have died somewhere!" Xiaopu scoffed.
Seeing how much disdain Xiaopu had for him made me quite curious. Could it be that a distinguished member of the Wind Steed Clan had actually encountered someone so peculiar that it pushed Xiaopu to this point?
Chiba was leisurely resting with his eyes closed, showing no interest in our boring conversation.
"Wood, say something too," Xiaopu called out.
"What should I say? I'm not part of your academy."
"Even if he isn't from our academy, you must have heard about the monster from the Six Great Clans. Come on, say something! Otherwise, Xi Meng won't believe me! Besides, it was you who sent us to the White Horse Clan. If we can't find the owner of the Life Stone, who will you blame for this wasted trip?" Xiaopu began her relentless nagging again.
"Boring." Chiba changed his position and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
"Fine, ignoring me, huh? Just wait until we can't find that person!"
"Alright, I remember now," Chiba said, opening his eyes with a resigned expression.
Xiaopu looked pleased, her cat tail flicking as she awaited Chiba's next words.
"Ahem. The White Horse Clan indeed has a Loser," Chiba frowned and stated.
"See, Xi Meng? Even Chiba says so!" Xiaopu chimed in.
"And that Loser is infatuated; he made a heavy vow back then that he wouldn't marry anyone but the guy in front of you," Chiba quickly added.
"That caused quite a stir in the Underworld," he teased.
"A stir? Was it really that exaggerated?" I asked.
"That Loser young master is indeed a unique flower in the Underworld; you'll understand once you meet him," Chiba shook his head.
Xiaopu... glared at us fiercely, already fuming on the side.
The Wind Steed Clan is a creature similar to a unicorn or horse, but with an additional horn on the sides of its ears. They have pure white fur and a pair of golden wings on their backs. It can be said that they are far more beautiful than unicorns and horses. Moreover, they often give off a sacred and bright image, embodying freedom like the wind.
"Master, it's just ahead," Little Pink said.
"Wait, something feels off," Chiba interrupted.
Indeed, the atmosphere was too strange.
Suddenly, a piercing howl shattered the silence of Sky's Edge, instantly bringing a sense of danger!
"Catch them! The Demon Emperor has rewards!" A wild laugh echoed, as if someone was playing a thrilling game, excitedly shouting.
Damn it, it's those Siyimo people again!
"Little Pink, get closer," I said.
"Xi Meng, look over there!" Xiaopu shouted while pointing.
A group of Demons was waving ropes, competing to capture the fleeing members of the Wind Steed Clan. The once proud Wind Steed Clan now looked disheveled and terrified, their eyes filled with fear and their cries pitiful, like rats scurrying for cover!
"This is outrageous!" Xiaopu exclaimed angrily. "The Wind Steed Clan has always prided itself on its speed. Why are they being suppressed to such a miserable state now?!"
"The Wind Steed Clan recently suffered a great disaster; none of the strong members survived, countless were injured or killed. The morale has long since dissipated, and only a few elders remain who cannot exert any control," Chiba lamented, revealing a hint of pity. It seemed he was reminded of the Champion Academy due to witnessing similar circumstances.
"Is Siyimo trying to wipe them out completely?!" I shouted.
"That seems likely," Chiba replied.
"She is the demon!"
"Not only Siyimo, do you remember I mentioned the messenger beside Siyimo?" Chiba asked.
"Yes, the one who killed six monsters surpassing the Supreme Lord."
"His methods are far more brutal than you can imagine. The ancestor within me has slowly merged with me, and I have seen many scenes."
"About that monster?"
"Exactly, dressed in a red robe, wearing a golden mask... with a pair of black wings behind him."
I was stunned, no, this can't be!
"I won't be mistaken; my ancestor has fought him," Chiba affirmed again.
"Chiba, do you know what you're saying?" I asked word by word.
"It is a demon."
"The awakening of the Demon Emperor in the underworld is no longer a secret, but she is the only one from the demon clan to awaken, isn't she?"
"That's right. It is rumored that other demons are still trapped in the Demon Abyss, but... that person in the red robe truly looks like a demon."
Chiba thought for a moment and said, "Xi Meng, if you encounter him in the future, try not to confront him directly; if you can escape, then escape."
I stiffened and asked, "Is there really such a huge gap?"
"I feel that he is not much different from the person who came to Dark Corner looking for you last time."
Not much different from a prisoner?! Where did he come from?!
"Xi Meng, hurry up and help them!" Xiaopu pleaded.
Chiba seemed a bit hesitant. I knew he wasn't afraid, but rather worried that our actions would provoke unnecessary trouble. After I disrupted Siyimo's plans several times before, they couldn't possibly let me go without any response. Although I didn't know what their current plan was, it was certain that Siyimo would not overlook me; she would definitely find a way to eliminate me.
"Go ahead, we came here for them. If the owner of the Life Stone dies at the hands of those Demon, it will be too late to regret," I said.
"…Previously it was just my speculation, and I couldn't be sure of that assumption. Xi Meng, are you really prepared to take this risk?" Chiba asked.
"It's worth a try, and we can't just watch the Wind Steed Clan perish, can we?" I retorted.
Chiba suddenly smiled and nodded in agreement with my thoughts.
"Hold on tight, Little Pink, protect everyone."
"Pure Sound Armor, fly—"
"Fire, Dance of Fire!"
"Bang!"
Both sides were momentarily stunned by my sudden intervention and stopped their actions.
"Who are you to dare oppose Lord Siyimo!?"
"Ha ha, if it were someone else, it wouldn't matter to me, but regarding her, Siyimo, I will definitely take action."
The Demons all looked astonished, as if they had never seen anyone openly challenge Siyimo's authority like this.
"Quickly go find Lord Lanzhi!"
"Xi Meng, don't let them escape; Lanzhi is that envoy!" Chiba called out from the side.
...Lanzhi, I have noted you.
"Don't worry, none of you will be leaving. Soul Binding Melody—"
I chuckled lightly as I took out the Horn Flute. Instead of killing these minor characters, it would be better to use them for now. As long as I controlled their souls, Siyimo shouldn't discover what was happening here so soon.
The black Nether Energy instantly enveloped the territory of the Wind Steed Clan. I said to Chiba, "Chiba, open the barrier; don't let the outside world sense the fluctuations here!"
"Done," Chiba replied.
"From now on, you are all my most loyal servants. If you betray me, you will be reduced to ashes—"
"Yes!" the Demons replied in unison.
"Go now; the Wind Steed Clan has been destroyed. Remember this phrase," I said.
"Yes, Master."
Demon departed grandly, yet the Wind Steed Clan, on the verge of mental collapse, remained vigilant.
"I am Xi Meng. Rest assured, my companions and I will not harm you," I spoke first.
"May I ask why you have come?" an elder, appearing to be the oldest, inquired. As he spoke, he shielded several Little Dolls behind him.
"We have come in search of a fated person," I replied vaguely, uncertain if the owner of the Life Stone was present.
"Not good, Elder!" Suddenly, a young and robust Wind Steed rushed in.
"What is it?" The elder merely frowned slightly, seemingly numb to the situation of the Wind Steed Clan.
"Young Master is missing—!"
"…It’s fine. If he is dead, there is nothing I can do. The current Wind Steed Clan can no longer protect him. Sigh, we are bound to perish sooner or later." The old man sighed, his weary eyes reddening without any anger.
"What? You mean that Sticky Bug is missing?!" Xiaopu exclaimed.
I frowned and said, "Their Young Master is the one you mentioned—cough cough."
"That Sticky Bug." Xiaopu suddenly changed his tone. " Xi Meng, let’s help them find that… no, I mean the Young Master."
"What? Weren't you just disdainful of him?"
"We are classmates after all, and he isn’t really a bad person; he just has a thick skin," Xiaopu replied.
"Really? Can you esteemed guests truly help us find the Young Master?!" The elder seemed agitated, tears welling in his eyes.
"We can't guarantee that we will be able to find your Young Master, but we'll do our best. To be honest, we have another purpose for this trip," I said.
"As long as you are willing to help my Wind Steed Clan, I will ensure that my people cooperate fully."
"Alright, it's a deal." Xiaopu readily agreed, looking more concerned about me backing out.
"Then let's split up. Whoever finds him first should send a signal," I said. "Xiaopu and I will take one group, and Chiba, you take another."
"Understood," Chiba replied coldly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Let's move!"
...
"Xiaopu, tell me about the general appearance of that Young Master," I asked.
Xiaopu stiffened, and the accompanying servants looked somewhat awkward.
