Wayfarer-Chapter 951: Suncrow

Outside Yongding, Chu Tianban's face turned pale as he spotted Liu Miaoyin in the distance. "Damn it! When was Su Tianxin's identity exposed? Are those fools shadowing Blue Lantern all a bunch of incompetent idiots?"

"What do we do now? One general is already dead, and under the combined attack of Liu Miaoyin and Ye Sanshui, the remaining three generals won't make it either. Inside Yongding, four other generals are trapped by Blue Lantern's formations. If this stalemate continues, our forces might be completely wiped out," said a cultivator beside him.

"If all our forces are annihilated, how will I face the prince? We have no choice but to summon the suncrow," Chu Tianban said grimly.

"But, Lord Chu, if we summon the suncrow, His Highness' involvement will be exposed. He instructed us to act discreetly and avoid revealing anything," the cultivator replied with a frown.

"If we delay any longer, everyone will be dead! Forget about the exposure. His Highness has already amassed great power—it's time to reveal our strength to the world. If eight mid-stage Boundless Immortals fall here, we'll all have to pay with our lives," Chu Tianban said firmly.

"Understood!" the people behind him responded.

At that moment, a sudden shift occurred in the distance. Ye Sanshui was holding off one black-robed figure. Eight zombie kings were engaging another black-robed figure, while Liu Miaoyin fought a third alone.

"Is that Liu Miaoyin? Her relationship with Xiao Nanfeng must be extraordinary for her to come in person to protect him today."

"Liu Miaoyin's strength is terrifying—she instantly killed a mid-stage Boundless Immortal. She must be close to a late-stage Boundless Immortal's strength by now."

"It's settled. Xiao Nanfeng has won again."

The observing forces whispered amongst themselves.

Indeed, under the assault of her death chants, Liu Miaoyin's opponent faltered briefly. The next moment, she appeared before him and struck him down with her palm.

With a thunderous crash, the black-robed man's head exploded. He was instantly killed.

"She's too terrifying! Liu Miaoyin is practically invincible!" countless onlookers exclaimed.

The two remaining black-robed men looked horrified.

"Get out of the way! Let me escape!" one of them shouted in panic.

"Help us, now!" the other screamed.

"Help? Today, no one will save you," Liu Miaoyin said coldly.

Just then, a sharp caw echoed from afar.

With a deafening roar, an overwhelming wave of golden flames surged in all directions. A blinding light caused countless people to squint or shut their eyes completely.

"What? Is that the sun?" someone shouted in shock.

It was a radiant sun, dazzling and majestic, radiating golden flames that soared into the heavens. Within the sun emerged a massive three-legged golden crow hundreds of meters tall. As it flapped its wings, it emitted a sharp cry. With a thunderous boom, waves of spatial energy rippled from its body, unleashing a devastating storm that swept across the land.

The immense power caused Yongding's protective formations to shudder violently.

Outside the city, countless spectators who had been forced to retreat were nevertheless struck by the shockwaves to the point of coughing out blood.

With a piercing cry, the suncrow charged toward Liu Miaoyin. Flames surged around it, and Liu Miaoyin immediately assumed a defensive stance. She abandoned her pursuit of the remaining black-robed man and instead defended herself with a palm strike.

With a resounding collision, the crow's talons and Liu Miaoyin's palm clashed in midair, causing the void to tremble. The immense force knocked Liu Miaoyin back.

The shockwaves rippled outward, sending Ye Sanshui, the two black-robed men, and the eight zombie kings flying.

"What is this?" countless people cried out.

"The suncrow? That's from the Crown Prince Banruo's ultimate treasure."

"Crown Prince Banruo?"

"Yes. The Crown Prince used it in the past. It's said that every suncrow he summons has the strength of a peak Boundless Immortal."

"These black-robed men are with Crown Prince Banruo? Why would he want to kill Xiao Nanfeng?"

"No idea. I heard that the Crown Prince has become an influential actor on the world stage recently, but no one knows his ultimate goal."

"A peak Boundless Immortal suncrow? It seems even Liu Miaoyin can't handle its strength."

The crowd murmured in disbelief. Why was Crown Prince Banruo attacking Yongding? Xiao Nanfeng seemed doomed.

Who could stand against a peak Boundless Immortal? Even Liu Miaoyin seemed outmatched.

With another piercing cry, the suncrow grew even larger. It charged straight toward Liu Miaoyin.

Liu Miaoyin's eyes grew cold as she clasped her hands together. "Buddha of Immeasurable Expanse!"

A sudden hum filled the air as countless rays of light appeared behind her. Gradually, a colossal eidolon of Liu Miaoyin emerged.

The eidolon was thousands of meters tall. It was awe-inspiring to anyone who saw it.

Liu Miaoyin merged with the eidolon and brought it to life.

"Ye Sanshui, keep those scoundrels pinned down. Once I subdue this beast, I'll kill them," Liu Miaoyin commanded coldly.

"Understood!"

He and the eight zombie kings continued to hold the two black-robed men back.

Liu Miaoyin's eidolon stepped forward to challenge the suncrow, which flapped its wings and unleashed waves of solarfire that swept toward the eidolon.

"Thousand Palms of the Buddha!" Liu Miaoyin's eidolon shouted.

In an instant, a thousand radiant palms manifested around Liu Miaoyin, crashing down upon the suncrow's countless flaming feathers.

A massive explosion sent powerful spatial ripples outward. The resulting inferno engulfed the sky, shaking the earth below violently. Amid the chaos, both the suncrow and the eidolon were forced back, though the suncrow retreated further.

"What terrifying power! Is she a peak Boundless Immortal, too?"

"Liu Miaoyin is a cursed king. Though she hasn't regained her full strength, her foundation as a former hegemon is unmatched."

"How incredible..."

Amid the crowd's astonished gazes, Liu Miaoyin continued to battle the suncrow.

Meanwhile, in Yongding, Xiao Nanfeng stood calmly atop a five-colored altar.

"Continue the announcements," Xiao Nanfeng ordered.

"Understood!" a court official replied, resuming the recital of edicts that conferred titles and rewards to the gathered officials. Xiao Nanfeng watched silently, seemingly unperturbed by the climactic battle outside.

The fierce battle raged on. Though the suncrow fought ferociously, Liu Miaoyin proved stronger. Their clash devastated the surrounding mountains, reducing them to rubble.

In a distant valley, Chu Tianban manipulated the suncrow with a magical artifact, his face grim. "How can this be? When did Liu Miaoyin's strength reach such heights?"

"Lord Chu, what should we do? It looks like the suncrow is losing ground under your control," one subordinate asked anxiously.

"How should I know? Report to His Highness immediately!" Chu Tianban barked.

"At once!" his subordinate reported.

At that moment, brilliant blue light erupted from Yongding as the rumbling blue mist settled and dissipated.

Blue Lantern emerged, bowing respectfully. "Your Majesty, the rebels within the city have been dealt with."

Up on the altar, Xiao Nanfeng nodded. "Assist Ye Sanshui in annihilating the enemy."

"Understood!" Blue Lantern bowed.

Blue Lantern stepped forward and vanished into the Spirit Emperor's hidden realm.

Moments later, a spatial rift appeared near Ye Sanshui's battlefield. From the rift, palms of blue mist emerged and grabbed at the two black-robed men.

"Sir Ye, push them into the Spirit Emperor's hidden realm. I will handle them there," Qing Deng called out.

"Understood!"

Blue Lantern worked together with Ye Sanshui and the zombie kings to force the black-robed men into the hidden realm. With a loud bang, the rift closed.

"This can't be! The entire force has been wiped out!" Chu Tianban cried out in panic. "Have we contacted His Highness? What now?"

"His Highness said that you've fallen into a trap. Disengage and retreat with the suncrow immediately," a subordinate replied.

"Understood!" Chu Tianban said.

Through his artifact, he maneuvered the suncrow to break away from Liu Miaoyin and flee.

"Trying to escape now? It's too late!" Liu Miaoyin's cold voice rang out.

She appeared before the suncrow, ensnaring it with thousands of hands that her eidolon conjured. With a loud boom, she trapped the suncrow.

"No!" Chu Tianban cried out, frantically attempting to control the crow. However, under Liu Miaoyin's relentless suppression, it could not break free.

"How could this happen? Notify His Highness, quickly!" Chu Tianban shouted.

All his subordinates had fallen, and now even the suncrow was at risk. What sort of punishment would await him when he returned?

Just then, Blue Lantern's voice echoed again. "Senior Liu, send the beast into the Spirit Emperor's hidden realm. I will keep it contained. You may continue hunting the rest of the forces."

"Very well." Liu Miaoyin agreed with a nod.

With a hum, another spatial rift appeared.

Liu Miaoyin unleashed her full strength to push the suncrow into the rift, then followed it in herself. The rift snapped shut with a tremor.

Chu Tianban broke out in a cold sweat. He knew his operation had failed completely.

"Retreat! Quickly!" Chu Tianban yelled, fleeing in terror.

"Where do you think you're going?" Ye Sanshui's voice rang out as he and the zombie kings gave chase.

In Yongding, countless spectators gasped.

"Crown Prince Banruo's forces... were defeated?"

"Is this the Crown Prince's first loss?"

The crowd murmured in disbelief, their gazes shifting to Xiao Nanfeng with newfound awe.

Only Xiao Nanfeng remained calm, his gaze sharp and wary, as if sensing even greater danger on the horizon.
