Junior sister, I really need to control you

Chapter 180 The Black Crow Clan

The core area of ​​Zhelong Valley.

Several streaks of light weaved through the sky above the towering ancient trees.

At the forefront was a purple-gray demonic light, followed relentlessly by three eerie golden rainbows.

Wherever the eerie golden rainbow passed, the ancient trees below withered and died.

"Fellow Daoists of the Black Crow Clan, you've come to Hidden Dragon Valley to gather spiritual herbs, haven't you? I've already given you all the spiritual herbs I have, so why do you still insist on pursuing me?"

Leading the fleeing group was a pale-faced middle-aged cultivator, who was circling around two spherical magical artifacts.

Although he was begging for mercy, his expression betrayed a murderous intent and anger.

The three figures closely following him, though all appearing to be human, each exuded a chilling demonic aura.

The leader was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a golden crown and three golden feather rings on each arm.

By human standards, she was quite beautiful, but the undisguised bloodlust on her face was something rarely seen in human cultivators other than those practicing evil cultivation.

"How could you have given it all to us?" she sneered. "I was planning to taste this finest of your flesh and blood medicine myself!"

Behind her were two lean men, both with fierce appearances. Although they also had gold jade rings on their arms, each of them only had one.

Upon hearing the woman in the lead speak, the two burst into laughter, expressing their agreement.

"Indeed! Spiritual medicines are good, but how can they compare to the great medicine of human flesh and blood like you?"

"That's right, that's right. All these years, the royal court has forbidden us from making a move. The most delicious human cultivator I've ever eaten was just a Grand True Person. I've never eaten a True Person with an Imperial Title like you before!"

As the three spoke, three pairs of wings were faintly outlined around them by the light of their escape, and their speed increased once again.

However, correspondingly, the already strong demonic aura emanating from them became even more uncontrollable at this moment.

"Hehehe, fellow Daoist in front, stop wasting your energy. If it comes to speed, do you really think you can outrun us, the Xuanya clan, a branch of the Golden Crow?"

The woman at the head of the group said with a coquettish smile, "It just so happens that I learned your human race's dual cultivation technique a few years ago."

"How about this, fellow Daoist? You will cultivate with me for a while, and once you have given me all your essence, I will let you go. What do you say?"

"In your eyes, this human form I've taken should be considered an absolute beauty, right?"

"Big sister, are you going to eat all the food yourself?" asked the Black Crow Clan man on her left.

"Oh, why are you eating it all by yourself?" the woman shook her head and said, "You can also gather its essence with your sister, that's much more beneficial than eating it directly!"

The Black Crow Clan member on the right licked his lips: "The humans look so delicate and fair-skinned, it's worth a try."

"You two are perverts, I'm not going with you!" The Black Crow Clan member on the left shook his head and said, "Just leave his limbs and two or three tenths of his essence blood for me to eat."

The middle-aged cultivator fleeing ahead suddenly changed his expression, and in an instant, an uncontrollable rage completely filled his face.

"Damn it! You won't listen to reason, so here we are! I'll fight you to the death!"

His voice had a peculiar reduplication, as if two of him were speaking at the same time.

One voice sounded relatively normal, while the other seemed to be roaring furiously with all its might.

As he spoke, he turned around and opened his arms to the three demons who were chasing after him.

A blinding purplish-red beam of light burst forth from between his palms, enveloping the three demons.

The three demons reacted the instant he made his move, but the beam of light arrived too fast and expanded a thousandfold upon impact, transforming into a torrent tens of feet wide that engulfed them.

The crimson beam of light lasted for a full ten breaths before gradually starting to shrink.

The middle-aged cultivator's face was ashen, yet a hint of pleasure appeared on his face.

"The Heavenly Wrath Demonic Light is indeed incredibly powerful; it was worth the great effort I expended, and the additional cultivation of the Wrath Poison technique..."

Just now, the poison of anger flared up, and in his rage, he poured almost all of his magical power into this strike.

In fact, the moment he made his move, he realized and regretted it. Even if he had to use all his magical power to fight to the death, he should have used it on the divine abilities of the Dharma Form itself, rather than on the killing techniques of anger and poison.

However, when the wrathful demonic light enveloped the three demons, he breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Heavenly Wrath Demon Light unleashed its full power, its strength was no less than the divine power attached to his Dharma form, so it wasn't a complete loss.

This attack should have severely injured the three demons, even if they didn't die. At least the little magic power he had left was enough to activate a few talismans that he had as trump cards.

At that time, you will have plenty of time to either escape or finish off the enemy.

As the crimson beam of light dissipated, the ecstasy on his face froze.

The three demons that were submerged were all completely unharmed.

Each of them was engulfed in a thin layer of golden flames, which acted as an indestructible shield, completely extinguishing and neutralizing the wrathful demonic light that bombarded them.

"How is that possible? How could just any member of the Xuanya Crow Clan possibly wield the True Fire of the Sun!"

The middle-aged cultivator nearly popped his eyes out.

But opposite him, the three demons of the Black Crow Clan also had extremely ugly expressions, their eyes wide with rage.

The golden feather rings on the arms of the two male demons were broken, and only two pairs of golden feather rings remained on the arms of the female demon.

"Mortal! You're courting death!" The male demon on the left shrieked and waved his hand, releasing dozens of iron-black long feathers, intending to pierce the middle-aged cultivator into a sieve.

The middle-aged cultivator managed to mobilize his magic power and activate a protective talisman, but it was pierced through in the blink of an eye.

Just as he was about to die, he felt a white light flash within his spiritual senses.

In a flash of white light, the male demon who had unleashed his long, iron-black feathers was split in two, then turned into two enormous, jet-black raven corpses that plummeted downwards.

The iron-black feather that was supposed to pierce through the middle-aged cultivator lost control and turned into dozens of ordinary feathers, which fell into the palm of a handsome young man who was walking leisurely through the air.

"Third brother!" the leading woman exclaimed in surprise, her expression changing several times as she looked at the newcomer.

Li Yinsheng first put the two pieces of crow carcass into his Qiankun bag, then took the dozens of feathers in his palm, examined them a few times, and shook his head slightly.

"It's a pity it's not a magic weapon, just a feather that has been refined over a long period of time." He said with a look of regret.

If these black feathers are a set of magical artifacts, then they can be used by my junior sister to refine the Mystic Crystal Mirror.

Unfortunately, although demons also possess the ability to use magical artifacts, most demons still prefer their own innate physical talents.

"I am Fei Yuan, a rogue cultivator. Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist." The middle-aged cultivator quickly cupped his hands to Li Yinsheng and said.

Li Yinsheng's heart stirred slightly—this person was indeed from the Five Poisons Sect.

That wrathful demonic light just now was a killing technique attached to the poison of anger, which should have been extremely powerful.

However, this person's anger and malice are clearly only a secondary cultivation, and therefore still lack some refinement.

Moreover, the arm rings of those three demons seemed to store a trace of true solar fire, which could spontaneously protect them when faced with extremely threatening attacks.

Otherwise, even with the naturally strong physique of the demon race, that attack would have seriously injured them.

"Are you a branch of the Golden Crow, the Black Crow Clan?" Li Yinsheng asked the remaining two demons.

He had heard some things about the Golden Crow Clan from Elder Yu.

For example, the Golden Crow Demon Court, as one of the five major demon courts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains Demon Clan, is the most unique in terms of its composition.

The other four demon courts are all composed of several demon clans. Although there are primary and secondary factions among them, their status is generally equal.

Only the Golden Crow Demon Court is supported solely by the Golden Crow clan, which holds absolute dominance.

However, the Golden Crows are few in number, so there are a few other demons in the Golden Crow Demon Court who are slightly related to the Golden Crow clan by blood. They are taken in as vassals of the Golden Crow clan and are tasked with handling some trivial matters for them.

The Black Crow clan is one such vassal branch.

The Black Crow Clan possesses a sparse Golden Crow bloodline and can utilize the essence of the sun to strengthen their physique to some extent, though they are far inferior to the Golden Crow Clan.

The two demons, one male and one female, stared intently at Li Yinsheng, each letting out a cry before transforming into their true forms.

The banshee was a giant black raven with a wingspan of over a hundred, with two golden flame-like stripes on each of its wings.

The other one was two sizes smaller than the banshee, and was entirely black without any gold markings.

Li Yinsheng's gaze fell on the female demon's wings—he could see it very clearly, the patterns on the female demon's wings should be transformed from the golden ring on her arm that contained the true fire of the sun.

He raised his hand and pressed down, and the Seven Luminaries Treasure Wheel appeared out of thin air, illuminating the sky.

The banshee's gaze fell on the golden halo at the outermost edge of the Seven Luminaries Wheel. Although she had a bird's face, her astonishment was still evident.

"Such intense solar essence? Where do you humans get so much solar essence!"

Li Yinsheng ignored her, made a hand seal, and seven-colored light shone down, freezing the two demons in place.

The smaller black crows were completely immobilized. Although the demon race had strong physiques, most of them had weaker souls. Under the effect of the Seven Luminaries Treasure Wheel suppressing their souls, they had no power to struggle.

However, the female black crow cried out, and solar true fire spread out on the two stripes on her wings, allowing her to move freely under the suppression of the Seven Luminaries Treasure Wheel.

With a mere flap of its wings, the female black crow, enveloped in the true fire of the sun, appeared in front of Li Yinsheng as if by teleportation, reaching out with its claws to grab him.

In the light emanating from the Seven Luminaries Wheel, a white ray, almost tangible, flew out, circled the female black crow's arms, and detached its wings.

Without the protection of the Sun's True Fire, the female Black Crow's form also solidified within the seven-colored precious light.

Under her as if she had seen a ghost, Li Yinsheng flicked his finger and released a burst of true solar fire, enveloping the pair of wings.

Before long, the golden patterns on the wings were peeled off and transformed into four shimmering golden feather armbands, which fell into Li Yinsheng's hands.

"You... how can you possess the True Fire of the Sun!" The female black crow's expression had shifted from astonishment to horror.

It was partly due to the power of the person before him, and partly because he couldn't understand where a human could get the true fire of the sun.

Although some human body cultivators use the essence of the sun to strengthen their physique, the amount of solar essence required to condense the true fire of the sun is far more than ordinary.

Unless a human begins their cultivation on the path of condensing the essence of the sun and cultivates single-mindedly for hundreds of years, it is impossible to condense even a wisp of inferior true solar fire.

The person in front of me, regardless of whether he is hundreds of years old, just the fact that he possesses all five elements and the Taiyin and Taiyang treasure wheels proves that his knowledge is extremely diverse.

And that elusive, seemingly indestructible white light, how come it looks so much like the flying sword of a sword cultivator in legends?

After inspecting the four golden feather armlets, Li Yinsheng revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

What's sealed inside is just some inferior solar true fire, similar to what he himself condensed using the essence of the sun.

Even in the realm of a True Person with the title of Imperial Edict, even a low-grade True Solar Flame is considered a powerful weapon.

But for him, the inferior True Fire of the Sun was only a decent means, and not very useful.

He had nurtured the Seven Luminaries Treasure Wheel for several hundred years; the nurturing time alone exceeded the lifespan of an Imperial Title True Person.
