Now that Wang Chong was available, he could begin to deal with his master's enemies.

”Your master and I have already defeated one group, but they managed to successfully escape. The news on the Origin Immortal Art has probably already been spread throughout the martial arts world, and this search for the Origin Immortal Art won't be as simple as we imagined,” the Wushang Village Chief said.

”Let them come. If it's one or one hundred, I'll kill them all. It's perfect, as I can deal with them all at once!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man's eyes erupted with cold light.

Ever since he had retired to the capital, his temper had greatly improved and he had been able to look past many things, barely paying any attention to what was going on with the sects. But this did not mean that he did not care at all. Since these people wanted to try and come at him again, he didn't mind massacring them all.

”Brother Zhang, we should still think this matter over carefully,” the Wushang Village Chief urged. He was very old, and unlike the Demonic Emperor Old Man, he was not so bloodthirsty. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wished to avoid killing as a solution.

”Child, for this journey to the northwest, you must be careful. We've already encountered many groups of men in black there, and they seemed to be very interested in the Origin Immortal Art. Given that you are also one of their targets, you must act very cautiously.”

Swish!

As the Village Chief spoke, the Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly thrust his finger up into the air like a sword, sending a fierce bolt of energy blasting through the roof of the carriage and high into the sky.

Creee!

A plaintive screech could be heard high in the air, and then a moment later, an eagle with a wingspan of five to six feet plummeted from the heavens, struck through by that bolt of energy.

Eagles flew at such incredibly high altitudes that even the strongest bows found it difficult to reach them, but this was completely useless against the Demonic Emperor Old Man.

Buzz!

This sudden movement attracted the attention of the other two within the carriage.

”Was it the one from before?” the Wushang Village Chief asked.

”I don't know, but we'll know once we take a look,” the Demonic Emperor Old Man calmly replied.

Whoosh!

A moment later, a gust of wind caused the fallen eagle to curve through the air and fall into the carriage, where it thumped onto the floor.

Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the Wushang Village Chief immediately turned their eyes on the eagle.

The eagle lay on the ground in a disheveled heap of feathers. A bloody hole as thick as a finger piercing through its heart had snatched away its life.

”Its physique is muscular and its legs and wings are extremely sturdy. This isn't some ordinary eagle, but one that has been specially trained,” Wang Chong assessed after glancing at the bird.

Old Eagle had raised many kinds of birds, and Wang Chong had gradually begun to understand the differences between them.

There were clear differences in constitution between trained eagles and wild ones, and there were many details present on this bird that told him that it had been raised. The Wushang Village Chief silently turned to the Demonic Emperor Old Man, a questioning look in his eyes.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man had the strongest cultivation of the three, and his Myriad Spirit Sea Art also made him far more perceptive than most.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man glanced at the dead eagle and shook his head. ”It's not the one from before.”

”Then it might not be those people,” the Wushang Village Chief said. ”Although we need to be extremely careful on this expedition, the Silk Road is a trade route linking the east and west. It has always been extremely active, and it's commonplace for the caravans to use birds.”

The Wushang Village Chief searched the eagle's corpse as he spoke. As expected, a metal tube used for holding letters was revealed on its feet. The eagle's plumage had been so dense that the metal tube was not easily noticeable.

”Let it go!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man creased his brow upon seeing this tube. With a wave of his hand, he fired off a bolt of energy that sent the eagle's corpse flying out of the carriage.

Since they were sure that this eagle did not belong to 'them', the Demonic Emperor Old Man cared little about seeing what inside the tube.

”Old Sirs, has something happened?'

The voice of the driver came from outside, the two explosions from the carriage having alarmed him.

”It's fine. Continue onward!” the Demonic Emperor Old Man sternly said.

The carriage fell quiet as it continued its journey to the northwest.
