She swallowed the letter and set up a protective barrier within her body. Now, she had no choice but to destroy the letter to prevent it from falling into the hands of human demon hunters.
Just as she was about to make her move, Ye Xianya and Zhengzheng intervened.
Although they only trained together for a few days, their teamwork was excellent.
Ye Xianya used her mystical arts to seal Yunniang's demonic power, while Zhengzheng exerted all her strength, flapping her wings until a pair of energy wings came together and she slammed them out.
With a single blow, Yunniang was sent flying, revealing her true form, and the letter she had swallowed was also knocked out.
She panicked and struggled to flap her wings, trying to grab the small box, but was kicked into a corner by Qi Chengshuo.
Zhengzheng glanced at Qi Chengshuo speechlessly.
This man is practically stealing the credit from it!
In terms of speed, the golden eagle is definitely much faster than Yunniang, the bird.
It's a real pity that Qi Chengshuo, that treacherous man, stayed out of the way.
Hmph hmph hmph...
Zhengzheng glared at him, then scurried to a corner, opened the wooden box, took out the letter inside, and respectfully presented it to Ye Xianya.
Ye Xianya: "..."
This little guy is such a genius!
Upon seeing this, Yunniang, already injured, couldn't help but vomit blood.
That was a letter the Emperor had asked her to deliver to the princess.
The mission failed, and even if she manages to escape today, she can no longer return to the Kingdom of Silent Abyss.
As a traitorous demon who defected to humans, if she were to return to the demon race, the demon king would only kill her and feed her corpse to his own kind.
She failed in her mission and returned to the palace; the emperor would send someone to deal with her.
"What are you looking at? It's because you're not as skilled as others. If you keep looking, I'll eat you up!" Zhengzheng glared at Yunniang and shouted.
Yunniang immediately shrank her neck, not daring to look at them anymore.
Ye Xianya knew that Zhengzheng was deliberately trying to scare Yunniang.
Yunniang clearly had been cultivating for many years, and when she revealed her true form, she was even larger than Zhengzheng.
Zhengzheng would definitely find such an old vixen disgusting and wouldn't eat her.
Moreover, if Zhengzheng were to swallow Yunniang's demon core, she might very well become a demon herself.
Even if it wants to eat, Ye Xianya will stop it.
She couldn't understand why Yunniang, an old demon who had cultivated for three or four hundred years, would neglect her duties and instead fall in love with a human scholar.
Ye Xianya stretched out her hand, and a faint golden light appeared on it. Golden threads enveloped Yunniang's body and then disappeared after a moment.
"Yunniang, the bird spirit, was born 358 years ago in the Demon Realm Mountains of the Jiyuan Kingdom. By chance, you cultivated into a spirit and entered the demon path. Later, you became a retainer of the royal family of the Jiyuan Kingdom. This time, you have come to my Great Yan Dynasty on the orders of the Emperor of the Jiyuan Kingdom to deliver a message to her sister."
"In your cultivation journey so far, you have consumed the essence and blood of many demons and humans, including many innocent people. According to the rules of the Taiyi Sect..."
Ye Xianya paused slightly before suddenly laughing, "According to my rules, there is no mercy!"
Yunniang's eyes were filled with shock.
This human demon hunter, without even opening the letter, had already discovered all her secrets; it was truly terrifying.
When was she exposed?
Could it be that she was targeted as soon as she entered the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty?
Yunniang decided to go all out. She instantly mobilized the demonic power within her body, burned her demon core, and slammed into the barrier.
Unfortunately, the barrier set up by Ye Xianya was not something that ordinary monsters could forcibly break.
Even if she hadn't prepared properly and had just hastily set up a barrier, it was enough to trap Yunniang.
However, to Ye Xianya's surprise, when Yunniang turned towards the barrier, the barrier suddenly cracked.
The giant bird took flight and soared into the sky. Ye Xianya quickly jumped onto Zhengzheng's back and chased after it, only to find that there was also a person standing on the bird's back. It was a middle-aged woman holding a long sword, which was emitting a faint light.
After all, the barrier was set up by Ye Xianya herself, and she sensed it immediately.
The barrier was broken by Yunniang and this woman working together.
Without saying a word, Ye Xianya immediately formed hand seals and unleashed a powerful move. The copper coin magic treasures she had previously subdued also flew out suddenly, each one turning into the size of a millstone, and smashed directly at the woman and Yunniang.
The energy arrows on Zhengzheng's body also shot out.
The bird spirit and the woman also fought back, but Ye Xianya and Zhengzheng thwarted their attacks one by one.
Although the bird spirit has been cultivating for much longer than Zhengzheng, its strength may not be as great as Zhengzheng's.
Under Ye Xianya's guidance these past few days, Zhengzheng has become increasingly adept at controlling and using her own power.
In the past, it was "wild" and no one taught it. It had a lot of skills but only knew a few innate moves. Now it's different.
Although they are both birds, the sparrow spirit's strength and speed are far inferior to those of the golden eagle.
Yunniang and the middle-aged woman couldn't shake off Ye Xianya and He Zhengzheng, and they were no match for them either. They panicked and quickly spat out their demon cores to defend themselves.
"Compete with me in this? You're dead meat then." Zhengzheng let out a cry like an eagle and spat out the inner core of her spirit beast.
The golden inner core of the spirit beast emitted a dazzling light and crashed into Yunniang's demon core, causing it to tremble violently.
Yunniang screamed in agony, spitting out blood. Just as she was about to retract her demon core, Zhengzheng used her own spirit beast's inner core to smash into Yunniang's demon core, shattering it.
The giant bird let out a shrill scream, its body covered in blood, and fell from the sky.
The onlookers on the ground immediately screamed in terror.
Qi Chengshuo quickly flew forward and, just as the bird spirit was about to crash onto the roof of a house, he used all his strength to kick it, sending it flying into the alley.
The middle-aged woman wielding the long sword fled the moment Yunniang fell.
Because Ye Xianya was worried that the bird spirit would hurt the people below after it fell, she urged Zhengzheng to fly down to stop it, and ignored the woman who was trying to escape.
After landing on the ground, Ye Xianya couldn't help but laugh and said, "If we had known you were so strong, that you could kick that falling bird spirit away with one kick, we would have gone after that woman who ran away."
She and Zhengzheng only saw Qi Chengshuo make a move during their descent; otherwise, with Zhengzheng's speed, she could have stopped the bird spirit.
The bird spirit that landed in the alley, because its demon core had shattered, soon turned to ashes and disappeared before everyone's eyes, its soul completely scattered.
If a demon beast dies and its demon core is still inside its body, its physical body will not decay for a long time. However, if the demon core breaks first, the physical body will also be destroyed and will soon turn to ashes.
"I... to be honest, I don't know where I got the strength from just now." Qi Chengshuo himself was a little puzzled.
