The masked man and the fox-faced woman didn't have time to exchange words and immediately used their movement skills to escape.
However, they were already surrounded by Crimson Flame Birds, and even without the formation to hinder them, their chances were slim.
It's important to know that the Crimson Flame Sparrow is much faster than the Iron Feather Demon Eagle.
The intense heat emanating from their wings, like the flames ejected from an engine, allows them to reach incredibly high speeds.
Ironfeathered Demon Eagles could only manage to inflict some damage on Crimson Flame Sparrows by overwhelming their numbers, but the former's casualties were often much greater.
The Crimson Flame Sparrow leader had fought the Iron Feather Demon Eagle leader before, but the latter always delayed it, allowing the other demon eagles to ambush the old, weak, sick, and disabled in its own tribe, which is why it dared not leave its territory easily.
Now that Chen Yi has resolved the matter, it naturally has no more worries and can go all out.
This was the first time Chen Yi had realized that this palm-sized Crimson Flame Sparrow was so terrifying.
"Well!"
In the chaos of battle, the masked man was pierced by a rainbow of light transformed from the Crimson Flame Sparrow leader, instantly burning a hole the size of a bowl in his chest. Flames traveled along his meridians, spreading throughout his entire body...
The masked man's skin resembled shattered porcelain, with red light shimmering at the cracks.
When his spiritual energy encountered that force, it was like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, intensifying the conflict.
"Sizzle!"
The venomous insects inside his body tried to help heal his wounds, but instead burned them to ashes along with his flesh and blood...
He stared at Chen Yi's direction with a look of resentment.
"I was defeated by a junior! I'm so wronged!"
With a flap of its wings, the Crimson Flame Sparrow blew, and his body completely disintegrated, leaving behind a pile of charred remains.
The fox-faced woman watched this scene with a look of horror.
She is still alive because the Crimson Sparrows want to ensure that the masked man, who poses a greater threat, falls first.
Now that he's dead, it's naturally her turn next.
“Something bad is going to happen in your state soon. Why don’t you join our Thief of Heaven Sect? We can even protect your life.”
Chen Yi didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false.
After all, the Thief Heaven Sect is best at spreading false information.
“I’m not lying. There are traitors from your Crimson Dragon Kingdom in Beastman Middle School. The Beast Tide, the Beast Tide will definitely destroy everything!” the fox-faced woman said while dealing with the Crimson Flame Sparrow.
Spare me, I can save you!
Chen Yi kept this matter in mind, but his resolve remained unshaken.
"Stop your tricks. My spiritual sense is no weaker than yours, and I am not so easily bewitched."
He sensed that the other person had deliberately added a seductive touch to their speech, hoping to change their mind.
Little did she know that Chen Yi, who had refined the Nine Nether Grass for five hundred years, possessed a spiritual strength no less than hers, who was only at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Seconds later, her body turned into a puddle of white powder.
From beginning to end, Chen Yi had no idea what she looked like...
Whether the other person is a stunning beauty or a charming young lady, it doesn't matter anymore; in the end, they're all just a handful of dust.
"Even if you bought cultivation accident insurance for this Crimson Dragon Mountain Range, it might be difficult to get compensation!" Chen Yi sighed.
The next second, the Crimson Flame Sparrow leader flew back to his shoulder, its short beak still holding a ring, which was the same one the masked man had.
With a casual wave of his hand, he also took the fox-faced woman's coin.
Although he hadn't had time to take stock, he had a feeling that this time the harvest would be even greater than Chu Qi's...
“A battle has just taken place here, and the smell of blood will attract other demonic beasts. Let’s go back to our clan’s territory first!” the Crimson Flame Sparrow leader suggested. “This will also be a good opportunity for you to start preparing for entering the Bloodline Altar.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi put away the two storage rings and nodded, saying, "Alright!"
This place is definitely not a good place to stay for long.
This place has experienced events such as the collapse of the mine and the defeat of the Iron Feather Demon Eagle, and it has probably already attracted the attention of some monsters in the vicinity.
Among those demonic beasts were some comparable to the leader of the Iron Feather Demon Eagle.
The presence of a human cultivator here is quite dangerous.
......
In the territory of the Crimson Flame Sparrow clan, beneath the fiery tree, the temperature was scorching, and the air was distorted.
In an area where even ordinary Qi Refining Level 10 cultivators cannot stay for long, Chen Yi sat cross-legged on the ground as if nothing had happened.
Because he had cultivated the "Secret Technique of Qi and Blood Furnace" and fused his blood with the Crimson Flame Sparrow, he was not afraid of this level of heat.
He took out the two storage rings and began to tally up his spoils.
Let's start with the fox-faced woman's ring. The pills, cultivation techniques, and miscellaneous items are all very common items, nothing strange or unusual.
However, almost all the pills were healing pills; there wasn't a single pill that could enhance one's own strength, which shows that she was very confident in her own abilities.
Moreover, the fox-faced woman didn't even own a single magical artifact; she used all her resources to pave the way for her own foundation.
Of course, Chen Yi did not come away empty-handed; he acquired several martial arts manuals.
What he cared about most was the water-based cultivation technique, "Waterfall Heart Sutra," which was mainly practiced by the fox-faced woman.
This technique must be of a high grade, otherwise it wouldn't have been given such importance to a genius at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
"With this technique combined with the Kan Water Jade, we should be able to cultivate another strand of true spiritual energy," Chen Yi said softly.
The attributes of the other cultivation techniques overlapped with those he practiced, but he couldn't find the wood and metal type techniques that he lacked.
"It seems that even at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, one can only condense three strands of true spiritual energy. To condense the fourth and fifth strands, one must wait until the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."
"I wonder if Tianbao Pavilion has found any news about the Heavenly Star Sword Bamboo..."
Chen Yi shook his head and looked at one of the secret manuals.
"The Secret Techniques of Stealing Heaven" should be a secret manual of the Stealing Heaven Sect. Chu Qi also had a copy last time.
Unfortunately, outsiders cannot view it, and if someone tries to view it, it will self-destruct.
This time, however, he could glimpse a sentence written on the back of the cover:
"Heaven and earth are stolen by all things. All things are stolen by man. Man is stolen by all things. This is the balance of the world. The three thefts restrain each other, and the three powers live in peace."
This must be the motto of the Thief of Heaven Sect, which Chen Yi found somewhat interesting.
The phrase "Heaven and Earth are stolen by all things" refers to the fact that all things are generated by stealing the Yin and Yang energies of Heaven and Earth.
All things in the world are stolen and used by people to sustain themselves.
If a person is enslaved by all things in the process of stealing from them, then he is stolen from by them.
This passage shows that the founder of the Thief Heaven Sect was by no means just a petty thief.
He didn't examine "The Secret of Stealing Heaven" further. Since he couldn't see it now, he would keep it and wait for a chance to read it later.
Then, he opened the masked man's storage ring.
The things inside were all sorts of strange things, such as insect eggs, various poisonous claws, spider legs, and poisonous gallbladders. The cultivation techniques were also related to them, which made Chen Yi shake his head.
Oh, and there's also a secret manual about cultivating Gu worms, which Chen Yi is quite interested in...
The most valuable item among them was a small, candle-like object, which was sealed away by a talisman.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the one that was stolen from Principal Ma.
"It's still impossible to repay it. Otherwise, if too many people know that I killed two people from the Thief Heaven Sect, it might be detrimental to me."
Even if it were Ma Xiao, knowing that he had killed two members of the Thief Heaven Sect, he would probably suspect that he possessed some great opportunity. One should always be wary of others...
"If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate."
Chen Yi silently put away the unclaimed item, hoping that Principal Ma could be more understanding...
