Chapter 429 Luanxuan's Rewards, Mysterious Hidden Aspects

The day passed quickly, and the sparrow scattering of the two teams, Sha Xiu and Ma Feng, quietly came to an end.

Although the two changed sides, they took the matter more seriously. After successfully completing the mission, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As noon approached the second day, the two teams returned to Jiangbei City.

The scene inside the city in northern Xinjiang is quite different from what it was a day ago.

A colossal black sparrow-like figure took flight, hovering high above the city of Jiangbei.

At the foot of the city in the north of the border, a large number of ordinary people and low-level cultivators bowed and kowtowed to the sparrow's shadow in the sky, offering their purest incense and prayers.

Li Wushou even keenly sensed through his abdominal spirit that in the Fenglingdao area within the Northern Frontier Pass, incense and prayers were constantly gathering on Queying's body.

The "spirits" of Luanxuan, Wujiu, and Yingtian are: a blue-gold phoenix, a gray-haired corpse vulture, and a fierce black eagle.

Suspended beneath the heart of the Black Sparrow God Shadow, it was also bathed in incense smoke, and its overall aura was several times stronger than it had been a day before.

But the three of them became increasingly violent!

Clearly, the three of them were maximizing the power of "spirit" in order to improve their combat strength!

As one thing gains and the other loses, one's own emotions are subtly suppressed by the "spirit," revealing more of the violent emotions contained within the "spirit."

Even the most peaceful Luan Xuan harbored resentment, suppressing it without uttering a sound, like an enraged tyrant.

Upon seeing the return of Sha Xiu and Ma Feng's teams, Luan Xuan suppressed his rage and invited both teams to sit down.

Upon hearing Sha Xiu and Ma Feng's report, Luan Xuan showed no surprise. Clearly, he had already planned for the successful spread of the primordial spirit sparrow!

Li Wushou was not surprised by this. Luanxuan must have been in secret contact with Zhu Liuli, otherwise he would have been so confident.

To reward those who had made contributions, Luanxuan gave each person who sealed a spirit a golden incense bead, which was used to enhance the "spirit" they had sealed.

Sha Xiu and another immortal cultivator, Bian Chun, were rewarded with precious materials for shaping the Dharma Realm.

Both teams were satisfied, and the rest of the crowd was quite envious.

They became even more eager to achieve meritorious service.

Luan Xuan surveyed the scene. Although his heart was filled with violence, his outward emotions remained calm, which was far better than that of Wu Jiu and Ying Tian. Clearly, his control over the "spirit" was much stronger.

Gazing at the crowd, Luan Xuan solemnly spoke:
"War is about to begin. Faced with the invasion, the Sparrow Lord has only one request: kill! Kill all the invading enemies until they are terrified and cowardly. The Sparrow Lord will make the Central Region pay a bloody price!"
From this moment forward, everyone is to remain at the Sparrow's Headquarters, forbidden to move about freely, and await the Sparrow Lord's orders at any time!

Everyone stood up solemnly and bowed in response:
"Yes!"

They then returned to their respective houses and calmed their minds to regulate their breathing.

Zang Qiu originally intended to return together, but Luan Xuan called him down. Sha Xiu and Ma Feng paused at the same time, and then returned together at Li Wushou's mental prompting.

Li Wushou was also curious about why Luanxuan left behind the burial of autumn.

Although he constantly manipulated Luanxuan's emotions, making him develop feelings for Zangqiu, he did not directly distort Luanxuan's mind, and thus had no way of knowing what Luanxuan was thinking.

To his surprise, Luanxuan suddenly pulled out another incense-shaped gold bead from his pocket.

This gold bead was enormous, nearly three or four times larger than the previous reward.

As he handed it to Zang Qiu, Luan Xuan said:
"Your spirit has immense potential. With a great battle imminent, consider this incense and gold bead a personal loan from me. You will need to repay it with your battle merits!"

Seeing Zang Qiu's excited expression, Luan Xuan simply waved his hand and said decisively:

"Advance to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible and kill more enemies. Even if you repay the debt, it's for your own benefit. The vulture likes to eat corpses. Once the war starts, I won't have much energy to pay attention to you. If you're not capable enough to be eaten, you can't blame anyone else!"

Is that clear?

Zang Qiu's expression hardened, and he suddenly gripped the golden bead in his hand tightly. Seeing this, Luan Xuan knew that Zang Qiu had taken it to heart.

He didn't say anything more about it. That was all he could do. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't pay any attention to Zang Qiu, even if the other party had some talent, what did it have to do with him?
All he cares about is his own transcendence!
But now that the Central Domain has invaded, he must stabilize the situation in the Sealed Spirit Path. Zang Qiu is a good fighter, and his thoughts and actions are quite in line with his own.

To lend a helping hand in the autumn burial became the thought in my heart of following the natural course of things.

Just then, Luan Xuan saw Zang Qiu, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly raise his head and ask with burning eyes:
"Grand Master, if Chief Wujiu were to attack me, could I...?"

Upon hearing this, Luanxuan's expression shifted, showing some surprise!

He had thought that Zang Qiu's hesitation was because he was worried about being resented by Wu Jiu and was feeling uneasy, but he didn't expect that he was thinking of a counterattack.
What a fine ancestor of the Corpse Sealing lineage! What a fine burial of autumn!
Luanxuan's admiration for Zangqiu grew even stronger; one cannot become a great man by being obsequious!
Which of these people didn't emerge from mountains of corpses and seas of blood? Gazing at Zang Qiu, Luan Xuan replied meaningfully:

"No one can disobey my decree at the Northern Frontier Pass, to set aside past grievances and jointly resist the invasion of the Central Region. You can't, and neither can Wujiu!"

If the vulture dares to disobey orders and take action, you are free to do so!

But the premise is that it does not affect the battle at the northern border!

Otherwise, no matter who it is, they will die!

"If you have the ability, why not hand over command of the Northern Frontier Pass to you?"

Zang Qiu's eyes lit up at first, then he bowed slightly and repeatedly told Luan Xuan that he dared not.

Luanxuan was even more pleased with this attitude; he liked the feeling of this arrogant person bowing down to him.

Seemingly moved by the moment, Luanxuan unusually encouraged Zangqiu:
"Perform well! I'm not the only one paying attention to Jiangbei Pass this time. If you do a great job, you might be able to add a new lineage of corpse sealing to Sparrow God Mountain!"

Zang Qiu was even more excited and bowed deeply in gratitude.

Li Wushou listened thoughtfully, glancing discreetly at the empty space behind Luanxuan.

As expected, Fenglingdao is not only represented by these people in Jiangbei Pass, and it's not just Zhu Liuli who is lurking!

After a short while, the two finished exchanging pleasantries, and Zang Qiu bid farewell to Luan Xuan and entered his own room.

Luan Xuan sat upright in the council hall and suddenly asked:
"how?"

The council chamber was empty. After a long while, a voice came from somewhere:
"It is clear that the roots of the family have no connection with the Central Region."

The voice was clear and crisp, like a woman's voice, but it was very indifferent, and you couldn't detect a trace of emotion.

Luan Xuan was not surprised by this, nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes.

Just then, the voice rang out again, and a soft question was asked:

"When did you start to dislike crows so much?"

This time, her voice changed again, gradually shifting from indifference to a hint of teasing, like that of a mischievous young girl.

Luan Xuan, with his eyes still closed, calmly asked in return:

Should I like him/her?

A soft sneer came from the empty space, as if it were laughter, but the sound never came again.

Inside the side room, Li Wushou, who had just sat down, raised an eyebrow.

At first, he thought that the strange feeling he had just experienced was Zhu Liuli's primordial spirit, Zi Que, hiding there. Not wanting to alert her, he didn't look closely after noticing it.

Based on the feedback from those remaining in the council hall, it seems that it is not Zhu Liuli?

Who is this mysterious figure who possesses abilities similar to those of the Inner Sparrow?

Moreover, the two times they spoke, they gave Li Wushou completely different feelings, as if they came from different people, but Li Wushou was certain that there was only one person lurking in the dark.

Li Wushou tossed the incense and gold beads in his hand to his primordial spirit for refinement, his brow furrowing slightly.

He suddenly realized that Fengling Dao was not so simple after all!
He felt as if he had overlooked some important information, and he fell into deep thought.

As midnight approached, the city of Jiangbei was much quieter than during the day, but it was still brightly lit.

As the people were half asleep, the black sparrow, a divine shadow that had been flapping its wings over the city of Jiangbei, suddenly raised its head and let out a cry.

The city of Jiangbei suddenly fell silent, then erupted into a cacophony of noise.

Beneath the shadow of the black sparrow, the azure-golden phoenix with outstretched wings suddenly opened its eyes.

His golden eyes, like stars, overlooked the entire northern border region, his terrifying aura soaring into the sky.

"The Central Domain has crossed the Flaming Sun Mountains and the Domain River, and has officially invaded my Sealed Spirit Path!"

"The war between the two regions has begun!"
