Chapter 199: Butterfly Bird, I will definitely find you! (Thanks to 【

Xinghai City.

Su Lingxue wore a black top paired with a long, wine-red pleated skirt, revealing a small section of her fair ankles; her temperament was elegant.

At this moment, she watched the news on the television, a look of shock flashing through her eyes once again.

"The Wang Family estate in Kyoto has been invaded by a Heavenly Demon; all have perished."

Beside her, Su Lingyu saw this news and a smile appeared on his face: "The Wang Family has committed many evils; this is retribution, being wiped out by a Heavenly Demon."

Su Lingyu had already learned of this news, and seeing it on television now, he felt very relieved.

If the Wang Family had not met with an accident, then their Su Family would have been in danger.

"Mm." Su Lingxue picked up her wine glass and took a sip of water to ease the tension in her heart.

Is it a Heavenly Demon again?

Su Lingxue could be certain that Feng Yan was not a Heavenly Demon.

Now that the Wang Family had been destroyed, the official announcement was clearly intended to avoid revealing too many hidden details.

Generally, in such matters, it is either a Heavenly Demon or a monster that takes the blame.

"Sister, how did Feng Yan's trial go? Is there no chance left?" Thinking of something, Su Lingyu asked again.

After all, the trial of the strange butterfly was truly too difficult.

Hearing her younger brother's words, Su Lingxue immediately recalled the terrifying look in Feng Yan's eyes that day.

"Lingyu, you must never go and disturb that strange butterfly on the Duodao Sea!" Su Lingxue warned.

"Sister, I'm not stupid; why would I provoke the strange butterfly for no reason?" Su Lingyu shrugged and continued, "It seems Feng Yan didn't complete the trial. Originally, with his potential, his chances of going to Jiuzhou were not high.

Now that he hasn't completed the trial, the possibility of going to Jiuzhou is even lower.

What a pity..."

"Who knows?" Su Lingxue drank more water and said nothing further.

She would naturally not speak of what happened that day.

After all, even a family like the Wang Family, which ranked among the top in Jing Country, was wiped out just because Feng Yan said so.

Such strength was likely enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Seven Great Families of Jing Country.

Those were the Seven Great Families, the entities that truly controlled Jing Country.

Only the Ten Great Extraordinary Academies, if they united, would have the ability to contend with the Seven Great Families.

"Lingyu, what do you think the strange butterfly... is?" Su Lingxue could not help but ask.

Feng Yan had been enraged for the sake of the strange butterfly and destroyed the Wang Family.

To tell the truth, at this moment, Su Lingxue felt a trace of envy toward the strange butterfly.

"A butterfly?" Su Lingyu said casually.

"Why does it carry pebbles to fill the sea?"

"Sister, that is a monster, an existence that cannot be understood."

"What if it also has wisdom, and in its past life, it was also a living being?"

"Perhaps... a promise?"

Duodao Sea, Lin Chao sat on Wangchuan Cliff.

The butterfly bird flew past, and Lin Chao's gaze remained fixed on the butterfly bird.

If the butterfly bird were to fall, he would catch it.

He had already been back in Xinghai City for some time.

Yet, even though the butterfly bird swayed unsteadily, it still carried a pebble and flew firmly toward the sea.

Lin Chao watched the figure of the butterfly bird, a look of heartache showing.

If he could, he would be willing to take the place of the butterfly bird.

Unfortunately, he could not.

At this moment, the butterfly bird was merely an incarnation of a Rule, or a projection.

Watching the butterfly bird flutter its wings, a golden light flashed in Lin Chao's eyes.

"This body of mine has gained the Dragon Bloodline once more."

When the Wang Family was destroyed, the butterfly bird's wings had merged into his body.

This body of his had once again obtained the Dragon Bloodline.

This meant that in this life, he would also be able to transform into a dragon, just as in his past life.

Watching the butterfly bird's stumbling flight, Lin Chao remembered how, in the Wusheng Well, the butterfly bird had given him its wings and activated his Dragon Pattern.

Back in Jiuzhou, the fact that Lin Chao was finally able to transform into a dragon had a great deal to do with the butterfly bird.

In this life, the butterfly bird's wings had once again merged into his body, and he had gained the Dragon Bloodline as well.

"You and I..."

Lin Chao looked at the butterfly bird and sighed softly.

He owed the butterfly bird too much.

"My Lord, the battle for the Jiuzhou spots is about to begin."

The figure of Hong Yin appeared behind Lin Chao, standing respectfully.

Lin Chao stood up, standing on Wangchuan Cliff with a straight posture; he spoke, his tone unquestionable: "This time, I am going to Jiuzhou, and I hope the butterfly bird will not be disturbed by anyone.

If anyone harbors ill intentions, the Wang Family shall be their fate."

"Understood!" Hong Yin replied hurriedly.

An indescribable emotion stirred within his heart.

My lord, you must love the Butterfly Bird dearly.

This group of Ghosts, even if they united, could not harm the Butterfly Bird in the slightest.

Now, let them come to protect the Butterfly Bird.

Of course, he was only sighing with emotion.

Naturally, they would not disobey any of my lord's instructions.

"The Clone, keep watching," Lin Chao said, "Also, tell the Ghost King of Wild Radish that I have returned from Jiuzhou and will be making a trip to the Ghost Domain."

"Understood," Hong Yin nodded.

"Also, continue the contact with the Feng Family.

After I return from the Ghost Domain, I want to borrow the Void Pool of the Feng Family," Lin Chao said.

His life had always been disciplined and planned.

Subdue the Ghosts of the Ghost Domain and strengthen his own power.

Go to the Feng Family's Void Pool, borrow the Void Pool, break through the Feng Family's technique to the Sixth Layer and Seventh Layer, and increase the strength of his contracted Ghosts.

These were all things he had to do now.

"Understood." Hearing this, a look of excitement flashed across Hong Yin's face.

With the help of the Void Pool, my lord's strength would improve, and the strength of their group of Ghosts would absolutely receive a terrifying boost.

And potential!

Before, when my lord merely broke through from nothing to the Fifth Layer, he had improved his strength by more than double, and his potential had also increased by a large margin.

Now, if my lord were to improve to the Sixth Layer, or even the Seventh Layer, the improvement to his strength would be unimaginable.

He felt that he could even go to the Ghost Domain, preside over a region, and become a Ghost King.

Hong Yin's figure flashed away, and Lin Chao's gaze looked toward the sea.

The Butterfly Bird had already dropped a pebble into the sea and was currently turning back.

"Butterfly Bird, I am going to Jiuzhou, to the place where we used to live."

Lin Chao looked at the Butterfly Bird and muttered to himself.

The Butterfly Bird in the sky suddenly paused for a moment.

A look of surprise appeared on Lin Chao's face.

"Butterfly Bird, can you understand what I'm saying?"

To him, it had only been twenty years since he last saw the Butterfly Bird.

But to the Butterfly Bird, it had been over ten thousand years.

He really wanted to talk to the Butterfly Bird.

At this moment, Lin Chao's mood was quite like that of a family member of a patient in a vegetative state seeing their loved one on the hospital bed show some reaction—a mix of sorrow and joy.

Unfortunately, the Butterfly Bird's pause lasted only that one breath, and it flapped its wings and left again.

The Butterfly Bird without a spirit was like a shell without a soul.

Lin Chao felt empty inside: "Butterfly Bird, I will definitely find you."

Dark Light Academy.

The twelve deans gathered together.

At this time, the expressions on the faces of these deans were all a bit strange.

"Fei Zhanbin, are you sure you want to withdraw from the competition for the Jiuzhou quota?" the dean of the Cultivation Heart Academy asked, a look of bewilderment on his face.

"This student wishes to withdraw," Fei Zhanbin refused quite frankly.

The dean of the Martial Academy sat on a chair, his figure burly, and a smile appeared on his face: "Who else wants to withdraw?"

At this time, the trials for these students had already been completed.

Now, it had reached the deans' voting stage.

However, one after another, students wanted to withdraw from the competition for the Jiuzhou quota.

By now, five had already proposed it.

That was why the dean of the Martial Academy asked this question.

"Dean, I also wish to withdraw."

"Dean, my cultivation has reached a critical moment, it is not suitable to travel far, so I also wish to withdraw from the competition for the quota."

"I..."

Suddenly, five more people withdrew.

After these five finished saying they wanted to withdraw, they stepped to the side.

They looked at each other and also revealed looks of surprise.

They naturally knew that the other party had used a significant price to bribe them.

Now it seemed that the other party had not only bribed them but also bribed others.

Even Feng Zui and Tie Xuerou, who were nailed-on certainties to go to Jiuzhou, had been bribed.

This guy Feng Yan... he really doesn't show his true colors.

Beside them, the dean of the Martial Academy looked at the only two remaining who had not spoken, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "What about you two?"

Lin Chao took a step forward: "Dean, I am very curious about Jiuzhou and wish to go to Jiuzhou."

Beside him, Lang Fei, who was dressed like a scholar, also walked forward: "This student also wishes to go."

There were three quotas for Jiuzhou, and ten people had voluntarily withdrawn.

The dean of the Martial Academy cast his gaze upon Lin Chao.

Lang Fei originally had the qualifications to go to Jiuzhou.

Feng Yan, on the contrary, did not have the qualifications.

Now it seems that with others withdrawing, Feng Yan can also go, which is quite interesting.

"What do you all think?" the Dean of the Martial Academy asked casually.

A smile appeared on Gong Ting's face: "According to the regulations, three people can go.

Now, only Feng Yan and Lang Fei have chosen to go, so it will be those two."

Gong Ting stared at Lin Chao, feeling very curious.

She wanted to know how Feng Yan had bribed these students.

One must know that these students were all prodigies of the Academy.

Their talent was exceptional.

If they went to Jiuzhou, they would gain quite a few benefits.

Now, that Feng Yan was actually able to make them withdraw was truly surprising.

"I think those two can go." The Dean of the Art Academy took a deep look at Lin Chao and finally spoke as well.

When he learned that Feng Yan had stepped into the Three Stages of Ancient Method, he felt disappointed inside.

At that time, the Dean of the Martial Academy went to see Feng Yan, but he did not go.

Now, he also did not cause any trouble.

"Those two can go." The other deans also expressed their opinions one after another.

"Good." The Dean of the Martial Academy stood up, "Feng Yan, Lang Fei, contact the consortiums that support you; in three days, you will officially head to Jiuzhou with Ye Meng of the Ye Family of Jiuzhou."

"Ye Meng is the daughter of the Ye Family of the Medicine Blood State. The Ye Family has an ancestor who was once the teacher of the Dragon Emperor of Jiuzhou; do not offend Ye Meng."

"Understood."

"Understood."

A battle for the Jiuzhou quotas, which was originally expected to be a bloodbath, ended just like that.

Lin Chao left the courtyard, and immediately, many people crowded around.

"Brother Feng Yan, I am Dangkang from the Cultivation Heart Academy; let's keep in touch."

"Brother Feng Yan, I am Tie Xinrou; if you want to spar in the future, feel free to come find me."

These people were not fools; they naturally knew that it was Feng Yan's doing that gave them the Demon Core.

They were also more curious about this prodigy, Feng Yan, who practiced the Ancient Method.

Now, they all had the idea of befriending him.

……

Deep inside the Dark Light Academy, the Principal squinted his eyes, basking in the Sun, looking extremely leisurely, just like a little old man.

"Principal, the quotas for going to Jiuzhou are out; ten people withdrew from the competition, and Feng Yan and Lang Fei have obtained the quotas to go to Jiuzhou."

"Is that so?" The Principal kept his eyes squinted, "Then let it be."

"Understood." The Dean of the Martial Academy finished speaking and was about to leave.

At this moment, the Principal's voice came.

"Do not investigate the death of Wang Sizai."

"Understood." The Dean of the Martial Academy felt a chill in his heart and slowly backed away.

The Principal stood up at this time, and his previously squinted eyes flashed with a sharp edge: "A Ghost, even if it is a Ghost King, I doubt she can stir up any waves."

……

Su Family villa.

Su Lingyu had an excited expression on her face: "Feng Yan, you actually obtained the quota to go to the Otherworld!"

Su Lingyu was extremely excited, patting Lin Chao on the shoulder.

Beside them, Su Lingxue hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Su Lingyu away: "Speak if you have something to say, why are you touching Mr. Feng Yan?"

That was a god of slaughter, the existence that wiped out the Wang Family.

"Sister, we are in a cooperative relationship with Feng Yan, we are good friends, what's wrong with this?" Su Lingyu said with dissatisfaction.

Su Lingxue felt helpless.

That's because you don't know how terrifying Feng Yan is!

Of course, she definitely could not say these words.

"It's fine," Lin Chao said casually.

Only then did Su Lingxue heave a sigh of relief: "Mr. Feng Yan, please stay at my house for the night. Tomorrow, we will bring the goods to be taken to Jiuzhou and hand them over to you."

These investors invested in these students going to the Otherworld for the sake of cross-border trade.

To describe it in one term, it would be cross-world merchants.

Cross-border trade had huge profits.

If it were before, Su Lingxue would definitely be extremely excited at this moment.

But now, having seen the destruction of the Wang Family, she instead felt that such profits were nothing at all.

Feng Yan was the one with the greatest value.

"Good," Lin Chao replied.
