Chapter 502 - The Promise Of A Century (2/2)

However, it was then when Ou Yangming channeled his thought into its mind.

‘Lil’ Red, you’re my ultimate trump card, so it’ll be better if lesser people know about you.’

The little red bird was taken aback, then it lifted its head high. Before long, it could not help but wonder, ‘This isn’t right; I must keep a low profile since I’m his ultimate trump card.’

With that, the little bird jumped on Ou Yangming’s shoulder and laid low to conceal its magnificence.

‘Mm, keeping a low profile like this seems quite interesting too.’

Following that, Hong Feiyu bowed at Ou Yangming and said, “Ah, so it’s Brother Ou. Since I lost, I’ll keep my word and obey you.”

Ou Yangming flapped his sleeves and commented, “Brother Hong, you’re being too polite.”

Since the fellow forgot about the Tree of Splendour, Ou Yangming was not too wary of him. Moreover, having a helper like Hong Feiyu in this world could result in notable deterrence.

They conversed for a while longer. Hong Feiyu seemed to have acknowledged Ou Yangming’s ident.i.ty, so he said everything he knew without reservations.

Furthermore, other than the Tree of Splendour, it did not forget anything else. In particular, the three fights he had against the Aquatics in Canghai City were still vivid in his mind.

The Aquatics’ spirit beast this time was a rare spirit turtle. Once it utilized a water-mastery spell, the seas would rise, and the Aquatics would rage.

Having said that, the spirit turtle’s greatest ability was not its offense, but its defense. Hong Feiyu had encountered the spirit turtle three times, each time was an earth-shattering battle, causing numerous powerhouses to be dead or injured from both sides, but both parties always ended up helpless.

The spirit turtle could not take down Hong Feiyu, but Hong Feiyu could not break the spirit turtle’s defense too.

That said, Ou Yangming seemed indifferent after he heard Hong Feiyu’s description of the spirit turtle.

Even though the spirit turtle’s defense was remarkable, it depended on who it was up against. Hong Feiyu might not be able to break its defense, but it did not mean that Multi-armed King Kong was powerless too.

Ou Yangming believed that as long as the king kong was present, the spirit turtle would definitely regret having descended to this realm.

Even so, he raised another question as he was struck with a thought, “Brother Hong, do you know where the spirit turtle usually hides?”

“We looked into it before. The spirit turtle is extremely bold; it knows we can’t do anything to it, so it’s hiding only by the beach among dark reefs,” Hong Feiyu answered without any hesitation. He flushed as he added, “Frankly speaking, I tried to sneak an attack on it once but suffered a small loss.”

“Since you know where it’s hiding, that’ll be great.” Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Brother Hong, please come with me.”

After leaving the woodshed, Ou Yangming brought Hong Feiyu to a room and ordered the servants to prepare some toiletries and hot water. The scholar came out after half an hour feeling refreshed as he had washed off the dark spots on his skin. As a result, he looked like a brand new person as if he recovered his ident.i.ty and bearing as a powerhouse.

Ou Yangming nodded as he was pleased. He instructed someone to invite Feng Yiyuan to his residence.

Feng Yiyuan hurried over and arrived after a short while. He was full of smiles, but a look of worry could be seen deep inside his eyes.

Ou Yangming never spoke about how he would deal with Hong Feiyu after he captured him. Feng Yiyuan would typically be unconcerned because he could not meddle in fights of such a level but this time, the city was up against a big enemy. If Ou Yangming suddenly refused to take any further part in the matter, and if something happened to Hong Feiyu, who could resist the Aquatics’ spirit beast?

Besides, Feng Yiyuan had other thoughts after communicating with the upper realm, which was why he was feeling more anxious.

Hence, he hastened over as fast as he could when Ou Yangming sent someone to invite him.

Who knew, Feng Yiyuan noticed Hong Feiyu standing behind Ou Yangming after he entered the main hall. The scholar seemed to have turned into another person as though he became the young fellow’s bodyguard, so the great ancestor was quite puzzled.

Of course, he dared not question it at all, so he simply cupped his hands with a smile. “Master Ou, why have you summoned me?”

“We’ve discussed, and I know where the spirit turtle is hiding, so I’d like to go there to catch the whole lot in one go,” Ou Yangming expressed.

“Master Ou, the hiding spot of the Aquatics’ spirit beast isn’t a secret, but I heard they set up a formation there. If we go over, I’m afraid…” Feng Yiyuan was startled, and he stole a glance at the quiet Hong Feiyu and mumbled to himself, ‘What exactly are they up to…’

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He turned to look at Hong Feiyu.

Hong Feiyu immediately explained, “Brother Ou, please don’t worry. The Aquatics’ formation is exceptionally crude, so it won’t affect us at all.”

“What about Extreme Grade martial artists?” Ou Yangming frowned.

“Perhaps there’ll be some negative effects,” Hong Feiyu answered after some thought.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and glanced at the little red bird half-intentionally. He later noted with a smile, “It’s not a big problem; I’ll handle it.”

Hong Feiyu looked where he was looking too but somehow s.h.i.+vered. He thought, ‘This is absurd. What’s so scary about a pet bird…’
