Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 210 Heading to the Qinling Mountains, the Feathered Demon Ceremony

"It's all because the higher-ups take good care of me."

Zhang Xiaohou scratched the back of his head and grinned sheepishly.

"Tell me the truth, have you ever engaged in any underhanded dealings with your subordinates?"

Mo Fan put his arm around Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Haoyu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Don't waste time, Zhang Xiaohou, when can we enter the Qinling Mountains?"

Zhou Haoyu planned to go into seclusion to break through to the peak of the super-level after finishing this matter, so he didn't want to waste time here.

"Brother Yu, there's a strong wind blowing in the Qinling Mountains right now, so we might have to wait a few more days."

Although Zhang Xiaohou wasn't very familiar with Zhou Haoyu, he always remembered the several times Zhou Haoyu had saved his life.

Zhou Haoyu frowned slightly and immediately used his mental power to explore into the Qinling Mountains. Indeed, there was a violent wind blocking his progress.

"Then let's wait in this town for a few days."

Zhou Haoyu did not choose to force his way in. With his strength, he was indeed not worried about Suofeng, but others were not.

Unless Austin is summoned, but Austin certainly wouldn't want anyone else to ride him.

Why not rest in the town for two days? It'll be a good opportunity to practice your spatial skills.

Zhou Haoyu cultivated in the town for three days, and his spatial ability was already very close to the perfection of the super-level.

If other people knew that he cultivated using the energy of the Dimensional Core, they would probably question their existence.

Three days later, the swirling winds in the Qinling Mountains finally subsided.

"It's all your fault for making me so tired; I still haven't recovered."

Jiang Shaoxu felt her legs go weak after taking a few steps, and immediately looked at Zhou Haoyu with a resentful expression.

If she had known this guy was so powerful, she would have definitely called on the two sisters to share some of the firepower.

"You asked for it yourself, and now you're regretting it?"

Zhou Haoyu rolled his eyes at her, but still reached out to help her up.

Jiang the Fox's physique is still a bit weak; he needs to exercise more in the future.

"Humph!!"

Jiang Shaoxu grabbed Zhou Haoyu's hand and then quickly pounced on his back.

Zhou Haoyu shook his head helplessly, supported her fair and delicate legs, and then walked towards the group's assembly point.

After the two met up with Zhang Xiaohou and the others, the group immediately headed towards the Qinling Mountains.

To speed up their advance, Zhou Haoyu summoned the Flame Scorpion Tiger.

The monarch-level Flame Scorpion Tiger is not only fast, but can also drive away some minor demons, such as the patrolling Feathered Demons.

Of course, even a powerful creature like the Flame Scorpion Tiger couldn't withstand the Blazing Wind, but it could still manage to hold out for the first half of the journey.

"By the way, let me see your brother's notes."

Zhou Haoyu, lying on Jiang Shaoxu's lap as a pillow, suddenly mentioned something.

"What do you need the notes for? Here you go."

Although Jiang Shaoxu was somewhat puzzled, she still handed Jiang Shaojun's notes to Zhou Haoyu.

Zhou Haoyu enjoyed Jiang Shaoxu's massage while looking at Jiang Shaojun's notes.

Zhao Manyan, who was responsible for blocking the wind, immediately showed a miserable expression when he saw this scene.

As a high-level mage with both light and earth elements, setting up a small defensive barrier is not difficult at all, it just consumes some magic energy.

Zhou Haoyu flipped all the way to the last page of the notebook, which ultimately pointed to the Kunlun Mountains!
This means that Jiang Shaojun's final destination was the Kunlun Mountains.

This is not impossible, after all, the totem has a close connection with the Kunlun Mountains.

Even after the decline of the totem lineage, many totems chose to enter the Kunlun Mountains.

In other words, to find Jiang Shaojun, we would have to start with the Kunlun Mountains, which would be quite difficult.

Guided by Zhang Xiaohou, the group rested on a curtain tree. "I feel completely drained."

Zhao Manyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been the one resisting the wind all the way, and his demonic energy had been depleted by more than half.

"Brother Zhao, I didn't expect you to break through to the Super Rank. You're really amazing."

Zhang Xiaohou sat next to Zhao Manyan and offered a compliment with a smile.

Zhao Manyan was, after all, the second son of the Zhao family, so Zhang Xiaohou was not surprised that he had broken through to the Super Rank.

"Otherwise, why would I be your Brother Zhao?"

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaohou's praise, Zhao Manyan immediately showed a smug expression.

Mo Fan rolled his eyes, feeling increasingly anxious about breaking through to the Super Rank.

"Brother Zhao, can you unleash super-level magic now?"

Zhang Xiaohou asked curiously.

"Um, just a little bit more."

Zhao Manyan was not telling the truth. In fact, he had not even mastered half of the light-element stars, and the earth-element stars were even scarcer.

On the one hand, there are too many stars, and on the other hand, Zhao Manyan has been getting a little carried away lately, spending most of his time chasing girls instead of focusing on controlling the stars.

"Brother Yu is still the best. Now his legend is everywhere."

Zhang Xiaohou said with a big smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan immediately lost his composure. Compared to Zhou Haoyu, his cultivation speed was nothing special.

Zhou Haoyu has reached the level of an international master mentor, which is completely different from their level.

"Time for bed, we have to travel tomorrow."

Because of the lingering authority of the Flame Scorpion Tiger as its monarch, the patrolling feathered demons dared not approach.

The patrolling feathered demons are the lowest-ranking demons in the Qinling Mountains. They dare not offend powerful creatures and are merely bullies who prey on the weak.

The second half of the journey was even more dangerous, with stronger winds.

Zhou Haoyu could only recall the Flaming Scorpion Tiger and then work with Zhao Manyan to resist the wind.

As they went deeper into the area, Zhou Haoyu suddenly stopped.

Through mental perception, a large group of winged demons gathered not far away, which must be the winged race's grand ceremony.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.

"There are many winged demons ahead. They are holding a grand ceremony, a grand ceremony for all winged demons."

Zhou Haoyu did not hide anything; in order to reach the Oath Tree, he had to participate in this Feathered Demon Grand Ceremony.

Of course, there is an even more violent way, which is to wipe out all the Qinling Feathered Demons.

The Qinling Feathered Demons are a branch of the Kunlun Demon Clan; wiping them all out would not benefit them.

"A grand ceremony? Feathered demons have grand ceremonies too?" Mo Fan looked completely bewildered.

"This is normal. Once a demon beast reaches a certain stage, its intelligence is not much lower than that of a human. This grand ceremony has been passed down from a long time ago."

In Zhou Haoyu's view, the origin of this grand ceremony may be related to the Kunlun demon race and totems.

"But what does this have to do with us?" Zhao Manyan immediately asked.

"The easiest way to get to the Oath Tree is to participate in this Feathered Demon Festival."

Zhou Haoyu explained calmly.

"I've heard a bit about it too. It seems that anyone with wings can participate, and we humans are no exception."

Zhang Xiaohou was filled with excitement. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it would be a great blessing to be able to participate.

"Are you kidding me? Comparing these winged demons to winged magical artifacts?"

Zhao Manyan immediately retorted, "The Winged Demon Tool was originally made by imitating the Feathered Demon, so how could it compare to the Feathered Demon in speed?"

　I wasn't originally planning to write about the Feathered Demon Festival, but the Oath Fruit is quite useful, so I'll just skim over it.
