Chapter 31 (1/2)

At first, An Zheng was afraid that his plan had been ruined because there was a baby Unicorn engraved Bird, but he later realized that he was wrong because if the baby bird had still been alive, he must have felt something while he was climbing up. Sometimes, An Zheng, himself, had felt strange. His current power was quite weak, but due to his previous power, he usually went directly towards his goal, and he did not think much.

In other word, he was daring. There was a saying, the more talented, the more daring.  However, An Zheng was not more talented as of right now, but he was definitely more daring.

Relying on the moonlight, An Zheng looked carefully, and it was not a living one but a corpse. In other correct words, a ruined corpse. Bones of the corpse glowed like a germ. An Zheng knew that this just only happened with one who had reached a specific cultivation base. The skull was undamaged, the upper body was visible, but the lower one was completely ruined.

The dark green light glowed from the orbit.

– “A Basic-Sky-Stage pract.i.tioner?”

An Zheng was surprised a little because he really did not know why there was a corpse of a pract.i.tioner who had reached Basic Sky Stage in the Unicorn engraved Bird’s nest. The person who had reached Basic Sky Stage could have become the ruler of the world. However, the Unicorn engraved Bird was no more than a medium-level devil beast. A person with the Basic Sky Stage just needed to have twinkled his eyes, and the Unicorn engraved Bird would have been smoked. Therefore, this one must not have been killed by the Unicorn engraved Bird. Moreover, it was because the Unicorn engraved Bird had found the corpse of this person, so it took him to its nest for eating.

For the devil beasts, eating a pract.i.tioner’s meat could have increased its power. Moreover, the corpse of the Basic Sky Stage person towards theUnicorn engraved Bird was like the treasures of a human. Anyway, the Unicorn engraved Bird’s power was not that high, so it could just have only ate his flesh, not bones. The bones of the Basic Sky Stage person had changed into germ. Not only did the Unicorn engraved Bird but also if the high-level devil beasts all had difficulties in digesting human bones.

An Zheng thought to himself, “It was understandable why this Unicorn engraved Bird was so wicked like that. It had consumed the blood and flesh of a Basic Sky Stage person.”

He then planned to bring the bone of that person with him tomorrow so that he could find a place to bury it. Anyway, the person was a pract.i.tioner who had used to take the wind out of his sails, so it was also a sight of pity seeing him at this result. An Zheng sat down to take a rest, and he found a soft light underneath the bone. At first he thought that the bone had been glowing, but when he looked more carefully, he found that the light did not radiate from the bone.

An Zheng moved towards and turned the bone up. Underneath the bone was something. When seeing that item, An Zheng had turned pale.

This is… the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin!

No one was more familiar with this item than him, so he got mad.

The Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin had used to be An Zheng’s item. It was dedicated to him by Xu Mei, the leader of the Clear Sky Palace at the Misty Cloud Mountain for an engagement. The Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin was a precious magical weapon of Xu Mei, but actually, it was her hairpin. Xu Mei was terribly talented. She always wore this hairpin since she was a child. Inheriting the powers of Xu Mei, the hairpin had become a magical treasure. Later on, Xu Mei had used her cultivation base to support the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin, changing it from a common item to a Purple level treasure.

For An Zheng, the most important thing from this hairpin was not its power, but its meaning. Everyone knew that the Clear Sky Palace and the Tribunal were always together whether in life or death. Once the Tribunal had needed some help, the Clear Sky Palace would have fully supported it. Whoever had brought this hairpin to Xu Mei, she would believe that the person had been An Zheng’s friend…

An Zheng was cold with fear. Those who had wanted to kill me must have planned to completely strike at the root of me. They had intended to bring this Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin to meet Xu Mei, and then they would have killed her as well.

Therefore, this dead person was one of the people who had set up the ambush for An Zheng.

An Zheng held the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin tightly for a long time, but he could not have possibly regained his calm.

This person might die in the dead-end of the Blue Boorish Mountain due to civil war. An Zheng had brought with him so many treasures that even a person of the Basic Sky Stage must have been shaky. An Zheng remembered that there were more than ten tartars of the Great Ampleness Stage and three of the Basic Sky Stage having attacked him at the same time on that very woeful day. Therefore, this person must have been one of them. An Zheng searched underneath the bones for a good while, and he did not find anything else except the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin.

– I will bring you back.

An Zheng mumbled coldly:

– You must have wanted to take my items, so you attacked me at the same time. At that time, although my body had been ruined, it had injured most of yours as well. You must have cut my waist. Only a powerful person like you could have, since no one knew of your background.

An Zheng picked the bone up and observed carefully. He found that the skull of that person had been different from a normal person’s. There was a hole at the forehead. It was not a trauma wound, but it was natural. In other words, this one had three eyes when he was born.

– Obviously, you were from the Yang family.

An Zheng had now satisfied his curiosities. On that day, those who had surrounded him had hid their faces. They did not dare to show their faces because they had came from the Yang family, and the Yang family men were too special.

An Zheng clutched at the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin, the gear inside of the Crimson Mythical Bird Hairpin had been activated, and a small s.p.a.ce appeared. He put the bone inside of the bag and thought to himself:

– Du ShouShou’s power is too weak. Although he trains hard, it will be also hard as h.e.l.l for him to have won over Zhou MuShan after only half of a year. Once the bone of this Basic-Sky-Stage person has been refined into a spiritual pillet, it can change Du ShouShou’s physical power. Just one problem, there are no pillet furnaces.
