Chapter 134 - Connate Demon Silver-Crowned Crane (2/2)

As he spoke, Jiang Tianchen paused before adding, “The reason why I suspect that he is in possession of a treasure left behind by a Primal Core adept… this mysterious metal ball that can transform into a spear is just one of the reasons.

“The other reason is the sheer speed of his increase in power. Two years ago, he was just sixteen years old and a martial invalid that everyone knew about… but now, he is just eighteen years of age and has already achieved Great Consummation of Qi-Gathering! Most importantly, he was not born into any reputable families, but is just someone who was born and raised in a desolate little town in an inferior prefecture of the Western Chu ridge.” Jiang Tianchen finished his piece in one breath.

“Sixteen years old, a martial invalid?” Su Mo’s eyes narrowed once again. His expression changed drastically again as he asked, “Eighteen years old and somehow appears to have achieved Great Consummation of Qi-Gathering? Plus, using a small metal ball that seems to be a spear sphere, he killed the previous emperor of Yunyang country, the early Connate adept Jiang Yunding?”

Su Mo had seen records in the old books that had been passed down through generations of the Valley of Medicine Masters of an amazing weapon that only adepts of the Primal Core stage and above could produce. That weapon was known as the spear sphere.

Within the spear sphere, there were many complicated spells, and if one did not know how to use the spear sphere, it was simply impossible to awaken it. But once the spear sphere was awoken, it was able to release frightening amounts of murderous power, and the more inner Qi that was injected into the weapon, the more powerful it would become.

According to the old books and records… middle Connate stage adepts who managed to awaken the spear sphere and utilize it had a more than eighty percent success rate in using it to ambush and kill penultimate Connate stage adepts. If late Connate stage adepts injected all their energy into the spear sphere, they did not even have to ambush the opponent, as long as they had the opportunity, they could easily use it to kill a penultimate Connate stage adept!

Thinking of this, Su Mo’s eyes flashed as he sucked in a deep breath of cold air.

In an instant, his eyes glinted brightly as his gaze landed on Jiang Tianchen once again. “You should now… the consequences of lying to me.” His eyes flashed threateningly as he said this.

“Your Excellency.” Seeing his reaction, Jiang Tianchen was sure that the chief of the Valley of Medicine Masters before him was very interested in the treasure that was in the hands of that young man. Otherwise, Su Mo would not have confirmed the truth in his words once again. “If there is any untruth in anything that I, Jiang Tianchen, told you today, Your Excellency can take away my life at any time!” Jiang Tianchen said seriously, even using his life as a guarantee.

Seeing this, Su Mo no longer doubted him. He pulled out a short flute and put it to his mouth, blowing a short verse of music on the flute. The sounds of the flute rolled away into the distance.

Whoosh!

Just as Jiang Tianchen raised his brows slightly at the ear-piercing flute music, another sound came to his ears, the sound of something speeding through the air. When he raised his head towards the source of the noise, he saw a massive white crane. Its wingspan was more than ten meters wide. As it appeared in the air above him and the chief of the Valley of Medicine Masters, Su Mo, it circled in the sky, its sharp eyes fixated on Su mo.

“Is this the Connate demon of the Valley of Medicine Masters, the silver-crowned crane?” With just a glance, Jiang Tianchen could easily see the silver crown on the head of the white crane. Instantly, he guessed that this white crane was the Connate stage flying beast that the Valley of Medicine Masters had reared.

The Connate demon, silver-crowned crane.

“Old friend, follow me on a trip,” said Su Mo to the silver-crowned crane with a smile. Usually, even Connate demons which had attained intelligence would find it difficult to understand human language. But if the Connate demon had lived long enough and people had always used human language to communicate with it, eventually these Connate demons would be able to understand human language easily.

But even though they could fully understand human language, Connate demons could not speak the language. This was simply because demons had a bone in their throat that only allowed them to use demon tongue… only Primal Core demons which had their inner core would be able to use the inner energy of the Primal Core to transform the bone in their throat such that they would be able to speak the human language and interact with humans.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

…

As Su Mo spoke, the massive Connate silver-crowned crane that was circling above now shot towards the ground, scooping Su Mo up together with it into the skies and flying towards the direction of Yunyang country. As for Jiang Tianchen, the emperor of Yunyang country, he was also brought onto the back of the silver-crowned crane together with Su Mo.
