Chapter 160: Instant Kill
Qi Bei furrowed his brow but didnt say anything. It seemed that Han Misi had concluded that he couldnt be of any help. Since he had already handed over the item, Qi Bei didnt bother to intervene.
Han Misis face was full of disappointment. Their destination was within reach, but they had lost more than ten comrades, and in the end, they would return empty-handed.
At that moment, the wind mage opened the silk pouch. A sparkling light radiated from it, casting a sinister glow on the mages face.
Just as the silk pouch was opened, a tiny head poked out from Qi Beis embrace, chirping urgently with a purple beak drooling saliva.
Qi Bei understood. Xiao Zi was eager to devour the contents of the silk pouch.
Very well, you may leave, the King-grade wind mage chuckled, her voice naturally rough but with a touch of girlish laughter that sent shivers down ones spine.
Lets go back, Han Misi ordered, his appearance suddenly aging considerably.
The group turned around, except for Qi Bei, who remained seated on the Flame Horse King, calmly gazing at the woman. He sensed her killing intent.
Why dont you turn around? the mage asked.
Turn around? So you can kill us more easily? Qi Bei smiled.
Upon hearing this, Han Misi and the others abruptly turned back, on high alert.
Hehe, youre smart. Smart people die early, the mage laughed, her laughter trembling with a touch of madness.
Qi Bei shook his beard and sighed, Old lady, stop trembling. With such a flat chest, even if you shake, there wont be a ripple.
The wind mages smile froze, and she stared at Qi Bei with icy coldness. The atmosphere suddenly turned frigid, and the aura of death permeated the air.
It was then that Han Misi noticed a faint blue magical barrier surrounding them, and there was not a single figure in sight in the cave.
Damn it! When people are dying, who cares about this bitch anymore? Han Misis breathing was heavy, his eyes bloodshot. Pushed to the brink, he let go of all his worries.
Dozens of people brandished their weapons, hacking at the faint blue magical barrier. However, among them, the highest level of strength was only Intermediate warrior. How could they break through the restriction set by the King-grade mage?
The female mage looked on coldly, as if watching ants struggling. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the bearded man who stood motionless with a half-smile on his face, feeling a twinge of unease.
Who does this kid think he is, trying to show off
The mage decided to end the battle swiftly due to the growing sense of restlessness. She raised her staff, her lips chanting quickly, and a violent surge of magical energy filled the air. Within the blue magical barrier, a tornado with a diameter of more than ten meters quickly formed. In the spinning tornado, countless wind blades were brought into motion.
Han Misis face turned pale. His subordinates, who had been howling in desperation, now had faces full of despair. Their desperate momentum plummeted as they helplessly watched the unstoppable tornado approach, about to tear them into pieces.
Finally, Qi Bei made a move. He darted into the newly formed tornado fast as lightning.
Xiao Zi directly plunged into the embroidered bag and pecked at the fragments of the Sky Heart, quickly devouring them all.
At this moment, Xiao Zis body grew by a circle, and its feathers became much brighter. However, after swallowing the fragment of the Sky Heart, it swiftly returned to Qi Beis collar and fell into a deep slumber.
Qi Bei didnt particularly care about the fragment of the Sky Heart. He was now wealthy and looked down upon such a small item. At this moment, he noticed the awe-inspiring gaze of Han Misi and his group. He knew it was time to bid them farewell. He was no longer suitable to walk alongside them.
Qi Bei waved his hand, and the Flame Horse King galloped to his side.
Return to your great grasslands. Qi Bei patted the Flame Horse Kings head.
Neigh The Flame Horse King nuzzled against Qi Beis chest, let out a long neigh, and dashed back the way they came.
Qi Bei didnt say anything to Han Misi and the others because there was no need. With a single step, he instantly disappeared into the horizon.
Chief, what should we do? a tribal warrior asked Han Misi.
Lets go back. Well relocate the entire tribe. Weve lost the treasure, and Lord Ling Xiao, the ruler of the Falling Sunset Kingdom, wont let us off easily. Han Misi said. They had originally set out to present the fragment of the Sky Heart to Ling Xiao in the Royal City.

Heavenly Mountain Peak.
Yao Rao was meditating cross-legged.
Suddenly, the Great Bell of Heavenly Mountain at the peak rang out. The bell tolled three times, indicating a major event and summoning all the elders to gather in the Grand Hall.
Yao Rao opened her eyes. This was the first time she heard the Great Bell of Heavenly Mountain since becoming an elder. She quickly got up, left her meditation chamber, and flew towards the Grand Hall.
The Grand Hall of Heavenly Mountain Peak floated above the swirling clouds, imposing and majestic, resembling a divine palace. As for how the Grand Hall was able to float, no one knows the reason to this day. It is only rumored that after the war of the gods, it was built by a mysterious entity using divine magic.
After Yao Rao arrived at the Grand Hall, the other elders quickly gathered as well. After all eighteen elders had assembled, several figures shot into the hall.
One of them was the Mountain Lord of Heavenly Mountain, the Venerable Cloud Turner. He rarely appeared and was a water-elemental mage at the pinnacle of the Saint grade, deeply immersed in his cultivation, hoping to break through to the Saint-grade and become a divine-level powerhouse.
Accompanying the Venerable Cloud Turner were two individuals. One was a woman clad in holy armor, her entire body shrouded, making it impossible to see her face clearly. The other was a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of a Light Priest, wielding a Light Scepter and wearing a Light Diadem. Those who understood would recognize his attire as that of the Archbishop of the Light Temple.
The Light Temple had eight archbishops, and above the archbishops was the leader of all the priests and knights of the Light Temple, the Archbishop of Radiance.
Let me introduce them. This is the Chief Judge of the Light Temple, Yan Shengyi, and this is the Archbishop of the Light Temple, Mark. The forces of the dark faction are rising again, infiltrating various countries and all levels of society. This time, we have come to Heavenly Mountain Peak, and we need the disciples of Heavenly Mountain Peak to come forward and suppress the forces of the dark faction, the Venerable Cloud Turner spoke up.
Thats right. The resurgence of the dark faction is strong this time. Our Light Temple has identified several places where remnants of darkness exist. We need manpower from the five Holy Lands to jointly suppress the resurgence of the dark faction, said Archbishop Mark in a deep voice.
How many people do we need? one of the elders of Heavenly Mountain Peak asked.
Five hundred, Chief Judge Yan Shengyi answered.
