Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 226, Flying Corpse Beetles

Following the guard, Chu Ming soon arrived at a spacious area in the Governor’s Mansion, where over a hundred people stood quietly, with the Prefect Zhu Qianqiu at the forefront and Hong Xue by his side.

"You have arrived!"

Upon seeing Chu Ming, Zhu Qianqiu nodded slightly. At this moment, the geniuses in the crowd who had never seen Chu Ming cast their curious eyes upon him.

"We shall set off now. After traveling for twenty days, we will reach Celestial City!"

Zhu Qianqiu spoke to the crowd, while Chu Ming stood among them, scanning his surroundings and noticing that aside from Zhu Qianqiu, there were several other strong practitioners of the Guiyuan Realm.

Chu Ming was not the last to arrive. After him, many geniuses arrived in groups of threes and fives, until the number reached around two hundred, and Zhu Qianqiu spoke again.

"Since everyone is here, let us depart!"

Zhu Qianqiu gently lifted his foot, and a green ancient whistle appeared in his hand. He blew it softly, sending a rapid green ripple spreading outwards.

Boom!

A massive yellow figure in the Governor’s Mansion spread its wings from some unknown location, its terrifying pressure enveloping the surroundings as it slowly crouched beside Zhu Qianqiu.

When Chu Ming and the others saw the true form of the massive figure, they couldn’t help but gasp. The figure was a hundred meters long, its feathers swaying majestically in the strong wind.

Its four claws, each seven to eight meters in size, had sharp, gleaming nails. A mere light touch caused cracks to spread across the ground like a spider’s web.

A Seventh Level Top Tier Demon Beast, Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle.

Evidently, this was the Governor’s Mansion’s steed. Though flying was prohibited in Black Dragon City, this restriction didn’t apply to Zhu Qianqiu, the ruler of the city.

"Everyone, get on!"

Zhu Qianqiu instructed the crowd behind him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! frёeωebɳovel.com

Silhouettes brushed past him, landing steadily on the Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle’s back.

"Get on!"

Hong Xue beside Chu Ming said indifferently. Chu Ming nodded slightly and gently leaped onto the Demon Beast’s back.

The Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle was a Seventh Level Top Tier Demon Beast, with combat power comparable to a top-tier expert in the Guiyuan Realm Fifth Layer. Even in Black Dragon City, it was considered a formidable adversary.

"Rise!"

Once everyone was steady on the Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle’s back, Zhu Qianqiu’s long sleeve flicked slightly, prompting the beast to let out a sharp cry as it rose towards the sky, causing those on its back to sway uncontrollably.

"On this journey, we will first reach the border between Black Dragon City and White Dragon City, but the road ahead won’t likely be peaceful!"

Hong Xue, standing beside Chu Ming, spoke slowly.

"Has the Demonic Organization already infiltrated Black Dragon City?"

Chu Ming’s heart fluttered as he asked in confusion.

"The Demonic Organization is extremely evil, with many wicked techniques that can control a person’s soul without their knowledge. My father suspects that there are spies from the Demonic Organization among us!"

Hong Xue said, his face full of solemnity.

Chu Ming’s gaze swept across the crowd but found nothing unusual.

The Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle darted forward with astonishing speed, leaving countless illusions in the air, and soon vanished from sight.

Sitting on the back of the Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle, Chu Ming entered a cultivation state.

Though the border between White Dragon City and Black Dragon City was not far from Black Dragon City, it still required two days of travel at the Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle’s speed.

A day later, Chu Ming awoke from his cultivation and slightly opened his eyes to look around.

Suddenly, a small flying insect in the air caught his attention. The insect was entirely black, the size of a little finger, and its wings vibrated in the air, producing a buzzing sound.

"What is the name of this insect?"

Chu Ming asked Zhu Qianqiu ahead of him.

Zhu Qianqiu glanced at the insect, his expression changing instantly, becoming grim.

"Damn it, this is the Flying Corpse Sect’s Flying Corpse Beetle! Our movements have been under their surveillance!"

Zhu Qianqiu’s face turned grim. Everyone was awakened by his words and looked around the Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle, only to find the air densely packed with Flying Corpse Beetles.

The Flying Corpse Sect was a demonic organization in the Celestial Realm, led by powerful practitioners of the Realm of Transcendence. Unlike other demonic organizations, they specialize in breeding various exotic insects, with Flying Corpse Beetles being the most renowned. These beetles are not known for their attack power but for their ability to spy on everything around them.

Whoosh!

Zhu Qianqiu’s hand waved lightly, and a sharp sword flash erupted from his hand, instantly obliterating all the Flying Corpse Beetles, which fell from the sky.

"It’s too late!"

Zhu Qianqiu’s gaze pierced through the layers of clouds, spotting a massive black object in the distance, his expression becoming serious.

"Prepare for battle!"

He growled softly to the martial artists around him, turning to look at Hong Xue.

"Be careful later!"

The concerned voice warmed Hong Xue’s heart.

Within a few breaths, the huge shadow reached the crowd. It was a formidable black Fierce Beast. Its wings shook lightly, clearing all the wind waves within a thousand meters.

The Fierce Beast had sharp claws and teeth, face resembling a demon with countless marks on it. Its mouth slightly opened, releasing waves of Energy Qi that swept towards Chu Ming and the others.

It was also a Seventh Level Top Tier Demon Beast, the Savage Green Sculpture!

On its back stood more than two hundred silhouettes, chillingly sinister. Among them, several fierce figures had overwhelming auras, their black robes billowing vigorously.

Boom!

The Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle also opened its mouth wide, ejecting a yellow wave of Spiritual Power, the explosion of air meeting the incoming black Energy Qi, creating a mini-nuclear blast, the aftershock shooting in all directions.

Whoosh!

Zhu Qianqiu instantly ordered the Yellow-faced Ghost Eagle to descend, while the opposing Savage Green Sculpture landed steadily nearby.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several figures jumped down from the back of the Savage Green Sculpture, all wearing black masks, making their faces impossible to discern.

"Flying Corpse Sect strikes, leave no survivors!"

The leading figure stood tall, staring coldly at Zhu Qianqiu, his aura gradually rising, no weaker than Zhu Qianqiu.

"Attack!"

Zhu Qianqiu shouted, drawing the handle of the sword from his back, a cold sword aura emanating from his hand, instantly enveloping the group of masked figures.
