After dealing with the irrelevant individuals and obtaining what she wanted, Su Xi no longer had a reason to stay in Rongcheng.
She summoned her flying artifact and began to fly towards the direction of the Heavenly Scar.
More than half a month had already passed. If she didn't set off soon, the Heavenly Scar might not have enough time to repair. For her reputation, and for the safety of the entire human realm, she did not want to bear eternal infamy.
Su Xi was unaware that as she left, an old man sitting in a chair in Rongcheng glanced unobtrusively at True Master Tiangang beside Su Xi, a look of remembrance on his face.
After so many years, he was already half-buried in the earth, and he never expected to meet an old friend again.
However, although he sensed True Master Tiangang's presence, he had no intention of coming forward to acknowledge him.
The time was not yet right. To rush forward now would likely leak heavenly secrets.
The moment the old man's gaze fell upon them, True Master Tiangang felt it.
He was currently a soul body. Although most of his cultivation could no longer be used, his innate perception was far beyond that of ordinary people.
In that brief moment, he sensed someone watching him, and that person's strength was by no means trivial.
"Ancestor, what is it?" Sensing True Master Tiangang's sudden tension, Su Xi immediately became vigilant.
She had never seen True Master Tiangang wear such an expression. There must be another master lurking nearby, so she had to be careful.
True Master Tiangang gazed deeply at Rongcheng below and said, "We were just targeted by a powerful individual."
"Hmm?" Su Xi instantly tensed up, looking around.
Anyone True Master Tiangang would call a powerful individual would absolutely not be simple.
Could it be the Law Enforcement Alliance again?
True Master Tiangang did not play coy. Before Su Xi could ask, he spoke on his own: "Although that person is very powerful, they have no killing intent. They should have merely been inadvertently offended by us."
Hearing True Master Tiangang's explanation, Su Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If there was no need to fight, then it was easier.
Although she was sure the other party had no ill intentions, Su Xi still decided to stay away. She immediately increased the output of her spiritual power, urging the flying boat beneath her to increase its speed.
Only after confirming they were far beyond Rongcheng did Su Xi secretly relax. Now, she was finally safe.
Once safe, Su Xi took out the Kun Peng from her person, ready to question it thoroughly.
The Kun Peng, being a great clan among the demon race, had disguised itself and come to the human realm, finding so many people. It must have ulterior motives.
"Chirp~"
The Kun Peng was released and fell to the ground, looking extremely weak.
It felt as if it were drunk, unable to even stand steadily.
Hundreds of years of its spiritual power had been absorbed by Su Xi, leaving it with only an empty shell. Now, not only Su Xi, but even an ordinary child could take its life.
"Speak, why exactly did you come to the human realm?" Su Xi was not fooled by the Kun Peng's appearance. She knew that these demon races had extremely tenacious vitality. It was indeed weak, but it would not die so easily.
Xu Ge saw that Su Xi had seen through his scheme and knew that pretending to be dead was useless. He could only change his approach.
He flapped his wings, pointed to his mouth, and made "woo woo" sounds, indicating that he could not speak at all.
Su Xi had long expected that Xu Ge would not be so cooperative. She took out two wires from her laboratory and placed them on Xu Ge's wings, smiling, "Now you can speak."
"I'm just a bird, how could I speak? If I speak, can you understand me?" Xu Ge's words stopped abruptly halfway through.
He flapped his wings in disbelief, unable to understand why he could speak again.
Su Xi ignored the foolish bird-like Xu Ge and asked, "I'm asking you again. If you don't speak, don't blame me for roasting you to eat. I've never eaten such a large Kun Peng before, and I imagine it must taste very good."
Hearing Su Xi's words, Xu Ge couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He had been in contact with Su Xi for a long time and knew that she was not joking. If he truly angered this woman, she would indeed cook him and eat him.
Therefore, Xu Ge dared not have any other thoughts and could only explain: "I was just passing by, do you believe me?"
The most pressing matter was to preserve his own life.
Su Xi did not answer Xu Ge's question and directly took out a barbecue grill from the side.
Since someone was uncooperative, she could only satisfy her appetite. In that sense, it wasn't a loss.
"Hey, what are you doing? I'm a descendant of a divine beast, you can't treat me like this."
"I have some status in our Kun Peng clan. If you let me go, I can guarantee you the friendship of the demon race."
"Don't pull out my feathers directly, it hurts."
Xu Ge originally wanted to scare Su Xi, but it was obvious that Su Xi did not care what Xu Ge said. She directly began to pluck his feathers.
To eat roast meat, one needed to eat it without feathers, otherwise, it would affect the taste.
Xu Ge watched his beautiful feathers disappear at a visible rate and became instantly anxious.
All his divine abilities relied on his feathers to be displayed. If they were plucked by Su Xi, it would be extremely difficult for him to recover his strength in the future.
"Stop! I said it!" Xu Ge was on the verge of tears. It was hard enough for him to come out for once.
Su Xi blew away the feathers from her hand and said with extreme impatience, "What are you still standing there for? Waiting for me to brush on the seasoning for you?"
Xu Ge felt very wronged but could only swallow his saliva and say, "I came here to find a treasure of our demon race."
Su Xi looked at Xu Ge with dissatisfaction. Was this person playing suspense with her?
Xu Ge sensed Su Xi's dissatisfaction and hurriedly continued to explain: "Our demon race's sacred artifact, which has not appeared for tens of thousands of years, has recently shown signs of life. But due to the carelessness of the guardian, it slipped out."
"Our Kun Peng clan was worried that the Demon King would discover the disappearance of the sacred artifact, so we could only sneak out to search for it. I searched many places and finally discovered the whereabouts of the sacred artifact."
There was one more thing Xu Ge was too embarrassed to say.
He had finally found the whereabouts of the sacred artifact, but before he could make a move, he was captured by Su Xi.
Hearing Xu Ge's words, Su Xi showed a look of great interest.
Something that the demon race called a sacred artifact could not be ordinary. If she could obtain it, her chances of revenge in the future would increase considerably.
After all, her enemy was not simple, and ordinary means could not deal with him.
Seeing the eager look on Su Xi's face, Xu Ge suddenly had a bad feeling. He blinked his eyes and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
He suddenly worried that he might have inadvertently done something wrong.
Otherwise, why was Su Xi's gaze so strange?
