Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 573 Follow-up
Having resolved the issue of the White Demon Eagle clan of Xiling, Fang Yu sent Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan back first, while he headed to the ancient capital, preparing to set foot on the Qinling Mountains...

The Qinling Feathered Demons are stirring, and it's time to settle their score with the Snow Owl, the totem of the Feathered Emperor.

Upon arriving in the ancient capital, Fang Yu went to the hotel, took out his phone, and prepared to check in, only to find four or five missed calls.

Because I was busy with matters concerning the White Eagle Clan, and my phone was in my spatial ring, I didn't notice...

Caller ID: Mu Ningxue
Two of them were from an hour ago, when he was still on his way to the ancient capital, and the other three were from two minutes ago.

"So urgent?" Fang Yu tapped his finger and returned Mu Ningxue's call.

Sunlight reflects off the glass walls of the Syracuse office building.

In the spacious and luxurious office, Mu Ningxue finished her simple lunch, glanced at her watch, and went to the work area.

"Shaoyu, is there any news from Fang Yu?"

This was the third time he had asked the same question.

Since Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan returned and brought back the news that Fang Yu was preparing to venture into the Qinling Mountains alone, he was filled with worry. There were emperors there, and it was not the right time for Fang Yu to go with his current strength.

“He didn’t answer his phone.” Shaoyu shook her head and said, “I’ve already called him five or six times using your phone.”

Unable to contact Mu Ningxue, Mu Ningxue silently exhaled.

"Let's wait a little longer, let's wait a little longer."

“Okay.” Shaoyu brushed her hair aside, revealing a smile, and comforted him, “Given the city lord’s style, he wouldn’t put himself in a desperate situation. Perhaps he’s just going to investigate and won’t confront the emperor directly. Until the results are in, anything is possible.”

Qin Yu'er, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up, saying, "This time, Fang Yu took all the Feather Clan totems away. In my opinion, he has already made plans to face the Emperor directly."

Mu Ningxue sighed, leaning back lazily in the soft chair, her full breasts stretching her white shirt taut.

"Shaoyu, report back to me immediately if you have any news." Mu Ningxue finished speaking and was about to turn and leave when her phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang.

Mu Ningxue stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on the phone on the table.

Caller ID: Fang Yu.

Mu Ningxue's breathing quickened, and she quickly answered the phone, asking worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm resting in the ancient capital!" Fang Yu replied.

Mu Ningxue was somewhat angry and scolded, "Are you really going to step into the Qinling Mountains to resolve the Feathered Demon calamity? You should know that there is a resurrected emperor there who is full of hatred for humans. You are only at the Super Rank, how can you go to such a dangerous place!"

"Don't worry, with the Ice Crystal White Crane following us, nothing will happen. Besides, with the Ocean God Clan's invasion, the country can no longer afford any unrest caused by the Feathered Demons."

"This matter arose because of me, and it is up to me to resolve it. The Qinling Feathered Demons have been itching to act for a while now, and it will be too late if we delay any longer," Fang Yu advised.

"Ugh!"

Although Mu Ningxue was very worried, she understood the seriousness of the matter. Besides, there was nothing she could do to stop Fang Yu from making his decision.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. If it really doesn't work out, I won't force myself," Fang Yu said.

“I’ll go with you,” Mu Ningxue said.

Facing the emperor and a million winged demons, it would have been fine if she hadn't known, but now that she does, she wants to face them together. With her strength, she can surely make a difference!

"If I'm in danger on my own, I can escape quickly. You should..." Fang Yu refused. He was joking; if something really happened to Mu Ningxue, wouldn't he regret it terribly?
Moreover, although Mu Ningxue has broken through to the third level of the Super-Rank in the Ice Element and is protected by the Ice Crystal Bow, she is considered a top-tier existence among Super-Rank mages and her peers.

But when facing an emperor, she was no match for him!

"Do you find me a burden?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"no?"

“If you don’t take me with you, I’ll go to the Qinling Mountains to find you,” Mu Ningxue threatened.

"Why do you have to do this..."

"I've made up my mind!"

"I'm afraid of you. We'll meet in the ancient capital." Fang Yu naturally couldn't let this woman venture into the Qinling Mountains alone, so he had no choice but to agree.

"OK, wait for me!"

……

A day passed, and Mu Ningxue met up with Fang Yu and stepped into the Qinling Mountains...

As soon as they entered the Qinling Mountains, Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue felt as if they were being pricked by needles all over their bodies. The biting wind was so intense that it felt like it was penetrating their flesh and slashing into their souls. It was extremely painful.

Fang Yu released his spatial power, enveloping Mu Ningxue and pulling her forward.

The Qinling Mountains are vast; it took half a day just to get into the Baiba Mountain area.

Venturing into Baiba Mountain, walking through the dense forest, the bitter leaves of the ancient trees rustled and cracked under the erosion of the wind.

The road ahead was completely obscured, with vines, grass, and various ancient trees whose names I couldn't recall.

Moreover, they were attacked as soon as they stepped into this place.

It was a feathered demon standing on an ancient tree, and its cultivation level was not high, probably only at the level of a commander!
This isn't even at the bottom level of Baiba Mountain, yet there are beings of this level. If they were to reach the middle level, how terrifying would that be?
Since the totem snow owl became the Feather Queen, commanding all the demons to jointly guard the Baiba Mountain area, the Baiba Mountain region is now far more dangerous than before...

Mu Ningxue walked here and urged again, "Fang Yu, do you really want to go in and step into the sacred waterfall at the summit of Baiba Mountain?"

"Don't worry, the Imperial Ice Crystal White Crane and so many Feather Clan totems will be fine," Fang Yu said softly, holding Mu Ningxue's hand tightly.

As you travel along the way, you'll find not only all sorts of strange plant demons in Baiba Mountain, but also many feathered demons. They use the mountain and ancient trees to cover themselves and launch sneak attacks at any time!

Here, every step is fraught with danger...

As the two entered, the trees in front of them grew enormous, some of them as large as the mountains outside!

Keep in mind that at this very moment, they are still in the lowest rungs of society!

At noon, the Qinling Mountains were constantly eroded by the wind, making the surrounding area feel like it was being baked in a furnace.

Although the sun wasn't very strong, the rising heat in the dense forest made everyone feel irritable.

Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue are both super-level mages, but they still feel uncomfortable here.

After walking for more than three hours in this dense forest that was like an oven, they encountered many kinds of demons. Moreover, they encountered not only commander-level demons, but also a monarch-level snake demon!
You should know that this place is enormous, and there is more than one way to get in.

What does it mean for a monarch to live outside?
