Chapter 440: Silver-Eyed Great Peng Bird (Two-in-one chapter, seeking everything)

Two days later, at the Li Family Manor training ground!

Given that tomorrow is the day Yuanling Academy begins, Li Changsheng and the others began to assemble this morning, preparing to set off for Peng City.

There were dozens of people departing with him; some were students from various academies in the Academy District, but more were members of the clan hired by Li Changsheng.

Just like in previous years, many elders came to see them off, including Clan Leader Li Wenbo.

Li Wenbo asked with confusion: "Changsheng, do you really not need the Clan Elders to help with the transport?"

As it turned out, Li Wenbo had prepared to have a few Clan Elders use Thick-backed Eagles for transport, but this was refused by Li Changsheng.

"Clan Leader, the clan is currently in need of manpower, so there is no need to trouble the Clan Elders. Rest assured, I have my own methods!"

Li Changsheng shook his head, once again declining Li Wenbo's good intentions.

After the clan was promoted to County Gentry, the clan became busy, especially since a large number of elites had been dispatched to Liyang City; if a few more Clan Elders were sent to escort them, it would inevitably lead to a hollow defense in the clan, potentially allowing petty villains to take advantage of the situation.

Li Changsheng turned to the side and asked the Beast Garden Elder: "The time has come, is everyone here?"

The Beast Garden Elder was responsible for counting the people to avoid anyone being left behind.

"Everyone is here!"

Li Changsheng did not say much more and tossed out the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin, which was only the size of a palm; he was not afraid of others discovering that this was a treasure obtained from Cai Yangqian.

The Cai Clan was currently in a precarious state, facing the danger of total annihilation at any moment, so where would they have the spare energy to care about such things?

Even if they suspected that Li Changsheng had killed Cai Yangqian, and that it was Li Changsheng who had snuck into the Cai Clan courtyard that night to cause chaos and plunder the treasures the Cai Clan had accumulated over the years, they would still be completely helpless.

Last night, Li Changsheng received news from a letter sent by Li Haoqiong that several major Local Power families around Liyang City had already secretly united, preparing to destroy the Cai Clan together.

Over these past three years, the Cai Clan's appetite had been too large, especially after being promoted to County Gentry; it could be said that they had offended all the forces around Liyang City.

At the time, due to fear of Cai Yangqian, these forces dared to be angry but dared not speak, and could only swallow their grievances.

Now it was different; Cai Yangqian had fallen, the Cai Clan had lost its backbone, and only one Fourth Rank remained, yet they were still guarding so many industries and resources—this was no different from a child holding gold in a busy market.

With such a large piece of fat meat placed out in the open, how could these forces let such an opportunity pass? They all wanted to take a bite.

The leaders of these forces did not yet know that the essence of the Cai Clan had already been completely plundered by Li Changsheng; due to a lack of information, even if they destroyed the Cai Clan, they were destined to be unable to obtain a harvest that would satisfy them.

Besides this, Li Haoqiong had not encountered any trouble for the time being; on the contrary, things were going quite smoothly, and he had taken over a batch of Cai Clan industries at a minimal cost, including a trading firm the Cai Clan had established not long ago.

This time, the Li Clan had dispatched two Fifth Rank Stronger, and in particular, He Yan was an Instructor at Yuanling Academy. This was also the main reason why the forces around Liyang City dared not offend them openly.

A strong dragon does not suppress the local snake—that is only because it is not strong enough!

If there were no accidents, the destruction of the Cai Clan would happen in the blink of an eye.

The only hope for the Cai Clan was to hook up with a sufficiently powerful backer in a short period of time, but with enemies surrounding them on all sides, they had almost no chance.

Under the shocked gazes of the clansmen, the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, it grew from the size of a palm to a massive purple coffin ten meters long and three meters wide; if they squeezed, it could still fit dozens of people.

"Changsheng, this is..." The Beast Garden Elder was seeing a treasure that could change size for the first time, especially such a huge coffin.

"This is a type of Strange Treasure that can hover!"

Li Changsheng gave a casual explanation; the strongest function of the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin was its defensive power, and he also kept a secret, concealing the fact that the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin had the ability to fly.

Thus, in the eyes of the clansmen, the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin only possessed the ability to hover.

"Come out!"

At this moment, Li Changsheng shook his Monster Pet Bag, released the Red Dragon and the Venomous Flying Dragon, and took out two thick chains.

Ever since Li Changsheng reached the Fourth Rank, because it could not break free from Li Changsheng's contract imprint, the Red Dragon had become much more obedient.

The Red Dragon and the Venomous Flying Dragon were obediently tied up by the chains, with the other end fastened to the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin.

In this way, it looked like two dragons pulling a huge carriage; at the very least, the image was much better.

"Everyone, go inside!"

While they were lining up to go in, Li Changsheng landed lightly on the back of the Light Blessing bird.

Not far away, Li Xinfu was riding an Elite Thick-backed Eagle; he also had no intention of squeezing into the coffin with the clansmen.

Soon, all dozens of clansmen had entered the coffin.

Even though the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin was relatively spacious, it could only barely squeeze these clansmen in, and they could only stand; there was simply not much space left.

Crack!

The coffin lid closed tightly, not leaving a single gap.

However, the coffin was inlaid with Night Pearls, so it was not dark.

As for the Fire-type Demon Cores embedded inside the coffin, because Li Changsheng had activated the Concealment Restriction that came with the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin, these clansmen naturally could not see them; all they could see were purple wooden boards.

Boom— Boom—

The ground shook violently; Adai placed the Steel Cage containing the Behemoth and Di Zhuo onto the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin, and then Li Changsheng used some chains to fix them onto it.

"Set off!"

Li Changsheng recalled Adai, and following his order, the Red Dragon and the Venomous Flying Dragon ran for a few steps before flapping their wings with force, flying toward the high sky like an arrow released from a bow, carrying the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin.

The Light Blessing bird and the Thick-backed Eagle also flew up, landing on both sides of the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin to provide escort.

In just a few breaths of time, they appeared at an altitude of several hundred meters; the four Flying Demon Pets faced the biting cold wind and flew rapidly toward the north.

At their speed, it would only take half a day or more to cross a thousand miles and reach Peng City.

During the flight, Li Changsheng constantly projected his Mental Power, continuously scanning the wild Spirit Beasts encountered along the way.

In the sky, a large number of wild Spirit Beasts lived, especially avian Spirit Beasts.

Li Changsheng's targets were wild Spirit Beasts of Superior Quality and above, or Spirit Beasts possessing Bloodline of the Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Golden-Winged Great Peng, etc., at the Sparse level or higher.

As for ordinary High Quality Spirit Beasts, Li Changsheng had no intention of subduing them for the time being.

In the time of one hour, Li Changsheng and the others had crossed a distance of several hundred miles; at this time, the four Flying Demon Pets began to show signs of fatigue, so Li Changsheng wanted to find a place to rest.

Just as they were descending, suddenly, one large and two small large-sized avian Spirit Beasts soared from the woods at the cliff below, charging straight toward Li Changsheng's side.

Their wingspans were a full seven or eight meters, possessing sharp Bird Beaks, slender necks, a pair of sharp silver eyes, and golden patterns on their black wings.

"Silver-Eyed Roc!"

Upon seeing this group of aggressive rocs, Li Zhangsheng was startled for a moment, then immediately revealed a smile.

Silver-Eyed Rocs are relatively rare; they are fierce and unruly by nature, belonging to the active-attack type of Spirit Beast. Their favorite food is Spirit Beasts that possess dragon bloodlines, and even humans are within their hunting range, which is also the reason they initiated the attack.

Most importantly, the Silver-Eyed Roc possesses a Pure Grade Golden-Winged Roc bloodline.

"I'll handle it!"

Li Zhangsheng stopped Li Xinfu from helping; he directly dismounted from the Light Blessing Bird and stood in the air, Flying Through the Void.

Under his command, the Light Blessing Bird immediately flew to meet them.

"What a pity!"

Li Xinfu felt a bit of regret; he subconsciously assumed that Li Zhangsheng wanted to tame the Silver-Eyed Rocs, because Silver-Eyed Rocs are relatively rare, and although they are not Exotic Beasts, they still possess some value.

Unfortunately, what Li Zhangsheng cared about was still the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline; with these three Silver-Eyed Rocs, he believed he could raise Datou's Golden-Winged Roc bloodline to the Pure Grade.

Among these four Silver-Eyed Rocs, the leader had reached the Elite level and also possessed Medium Grade quality.

At first, due to the distance, the Silver-Eyed Rocs had not sensed the aura of the Light Blessing Bird.

When the two sides closed the distance, a look of panic was clearly visible in the eyes of the Silver-Eyed Rocs, but at this point, how could it be in time to escape?

At this moment, they had already entered the attack range of the Light Blessing Bird.

Chirp~

The Light Blessing Bird let out a loud cry, and countless milky rays of light gathered, transforming into a milky-white beam of light as thick as a water vat, rapidly rushing toward the Silver-Eyed Rocs.

Seeing the Light Blessing Bird launch an attack, the three Silver-Eyed Rocs had no choice but to bite the bullet and spit out cyan wind pillars as thick as a large bowl.

They coordinated tacitly, and the three wind pillars merged into one, colliding with the milky-white beam of light in an instant.

If the quality is not enough, quantity must make up for it, but unfortunately, the number of Silver-Eyed Rocs was ultimately too small to make up for the gap between the two sides with quantity.

At the moment the two energy beams collided, the wind pillar showed a trend of retreating step by step, appearing before the Silver-Eyed Rocs in the blink of an eye.

The leading Silver-Eyed Roc hurriedly dodged; possessing the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline, its speed was very fast, and it barely avoided the milky-white beam, but its actions also completely exposed the two Silver-Eyed Rocs behind it, which were then immediately submerged by the beam.

These two Silver-Eyed Rocs were only at the Middle Rank realm; under such a huge gap in realms, how could they have any way to survive?

When the beam disappeared, the two Silver-Eyed Rocs fell freely from the sky, their eyes tightly closed, having completely lost their breath.

Before they touched the ground, the Crowned Flame Bird summoned by Li Zhangsheng had already grabbed their corpses a step earlier and brought them before Li Zhangsheng.

On the other side, the Elite-level Silver-Eyed Roc was panicking and trying to escape; although its speed was fast, its quality and realm were ultimately inferior, and the Light Blessing Bird actually had the upper hand in speed.

As soon as the distance closed, the Light Blessing Bird shone brightly, and countless white light spots gathered, transforming into a Light Flame Giant Sword several zhang long, slashing straight toward the Silver-Eyed Roc.

By the time the Silver-Eyed Roc noticed it, it only had time to cast a Wind Barrier before being hit by the huge Light Flame Giant Sword.

Crack~ Clatter~

At the moment of contact, the cyan light screen twisted violently and collapsed rapidly, finally emitting the sound of shattering glass.

Screech~

Blood appeared, and the Silver-Eyed Roc let out a shrill scream; a huge wound was slashed across its back, and it fell straight from the sky.

If the Wind Barrier hadn't offset part of the power, the Silver-Eyed Roc would not have survived; even now, it was clearly severely wounded.

In the sky, the Light Blessing Bird also swooped down, its body rotating rapidly, its sharp Bird Beak flashing with a cold glint, chasing after it at an even faster speed.

The Silver-Eyed Roc wanted to flap its wings to fly, but before it could stop its downward momentum, its neck felt a pain, and it was pierced straight through by the Bird Beak of the Light Blessing Bird.

Quack~

The duck-like cry stopped abruptly; the Silver-Eyed Roc struggled slightly, its vision went black, and it lost consciousness completely.

When the dust settled, the Red Dragon and the Venom Wyvern landed steadily on the ground with the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin and began to rest.

The corpses of the three Silver-Eyed Rocs were then divided into several parts by Li Zhangsheng and directly stored in his Space Ring, ready to extract their bloodlines after fully comprehending the essence of the Book of Bloodlines.

Not long after, the four Flying Demon Pets took off again and continued to fly toward Peng City.

By the afternoon, the four Flying Demon Pets circled and descended, landing directly at the gate of Yuanling Academy.

Li Zhangsheng possessed the second-level Authority of Yuanling Academy, which included the right to fly over Yuanling Academy, but since most of the clan members in the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin were not students of Yuanling Academy, he could only stop at the gate.

Tomorrow is the day all academies in the Academy District start school uniformly, and the gate of Yuanling Academy is located in the central area, so it naturally gathered quite a few students from various academies.

Such an entrance was naturally shocking; they were shocked that the Red Dragon pulling the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin was actually just a Temporary Spirit Pet, and equally shocked by the Behemoth and Di Zhuo locked in the cages, wondering where Li Zhangsheng got two Quasi-Gods.

What shocked them most was related to Li Zhangsheng's rank.

Damn it, in just one winter break, how did this guy advance again...

Comparing people to others can simply make one die of anger!

Except for a very small number of well-informed people, the vast majority of people did not yet know the news of Li Zhangsheng's advancement; thinking of Li Zhangsheng's age, this naturally gave them a great shock.

After the huge Adai appeared, they were almost numb, watching Adai move the two Steel Cages containing the Behemoth and Di Zhuo into Yuanling Academy.

The lid of the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin opened.

By the time dusk approached, Li Zhangsheng finally finished everything.

The Behemoth and Di Zhuo were moved into the Number One Courtyard, and Li Xinfu and thirty Li Clan disciples had already moved into the Starry Sky Auction House to maintain order at the Starry Sky Auction House.

After settling all this, Li Zhangsheng walked toward the small courtyard where Lin Wan and her daughter lived; the Starry Sky Auction House was preparing to hold a spring auction.

At the start of school, students have money in their pockets, which can be said to be the best time to hold an auction.

Not only the spring auction, but the autumn auction is also a key event.

"Strange!"

Before stepping into the small courtyard of Lin Wan and her daughter, Li Zhangsheng subconsciously frowned; his reaction was sensitive, and he had just sensed a sneaky figure.
