29 Chapter 29: Iron Claw Dragon Eagle, Danger in the Skies
"This is a Lower Grade Flying Spirit Artifact 'Bamboo Leaf Boat,' priced at one hundred and fifty Lower Grade Spirit Stones," Mo Ying said out of the blue, seeing the expression on Ye Feng's face.
"That expensive!"
Ye Feng's eyes widened in shock.
"The price for a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact is over one hundred Spirit Stones and isn't cheap," Mo Ying explained.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng looked at Mo Ying as if he had discovered a new world, widening his eyes in surprise.
He remembered that when Mo Ying had joined the Misty Sect, she first paid a hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones as the beginner's fee.
Moreover, Mo Ying also had a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Breeze-riding Sword; she was quite wealthy!
"Don't look at me; I'm broke now." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
How could Mo Ying not guess what Ye Feng was thinking? She crossed her arms, turned around, and jumped onto the roof to start cultivating.
"Who was that just now?"
At that moment, Jia Yulan pointed to the rooftop and asked.
"Her name is Mo Ying; she is your fourth senior sister," Ye Feng said, pointing at the others, introducing them one by one.
Before long, Jia Yulan, Xia He, and Qiu Ju had started to integrate into the Misty Sect.
The current Misty Sect was too rundown, and although the peak had a total area of ten acres, the built area was relatively small and couldn't accommodate that many people.
Therefore, the six female disciples—Jia Yulan, Xia He, Qiu Ju, Mo Ying, Li Jiaojiao, and Ouyang Yu—had to squeeze in together for the time being.
As for Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, Long Tianxing, and Ouyang Feng, even though they were also squished into one room, it was much more spacious.
"It looks like I need to finish the design drawing today, re-plan the sect and leave some vacant land."
Thinking this, Ye Feng jumped onto the rooftop.
Mo Ying was coincidentally sitting cross-legged there and, startled by the sudden presence of someone beside her, instantly drew her sword.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Feng asked innocently, hearing the grating sound of the sword being drawn and looking at Mo Ying, as well as the Breeze-riding Sword she was holding.
Realizing that she had overreacted, Mo Ying's face turned embarrassed, but thankfully, the black veil hid it, and Ye Feng couldn't see.
She quickly said, "I am getting ready to practice sword techniques."
"That's perfect, take me for a ride," Ye Feng pointed down, "I am planning to draw a map of the peak and re-plan a bit; I need to rise above to see the terrain."
"Oh."
Mo Ying tossed her sword, making it levitate above the rooftop, and brought Ye Feng aboard, gradually flying to a spot several dozen meters above the peak.
"Truly worthy of the Sword Control Technique!"
Long Tianxing, standing in the courtyard, looked up at Ye Feng and Mo Ying with envy.
"This is indeed the Sword Control Technique, and it's a Major Achievement."
Jia Yulan came over, looking at the two in the sky, and said softly.
"Seventh junior sister, can I learn it?" Long Tianxing asked with hope.
Upon hearing this title, Jia Yulan nearly laughed out loud, "I joined the sect after you; you should call me junior sister."
Long Tianxing scratched his head, thinking to himself that she was several years older than him; how could he dare call her junior sister?
"Sure, junior sister."
Although Long Tianxing was reluctant, he was honest, and added, "Then how should I cultivate the Sword Control Technique?"
Jia Yulan, looking at the sky, explained:
"Actually, the Sword Control Technique is just a general term. As long as you cultivate any spell related to swords, you can fly with a sword, but it consumes a lot of Spiritual Energy."
Long Tianxing showed a sudden realization and asked, "What if I don't have the relevant spells or a flying sword?"
"Then you're out of luck," Jia Yulan said.
"But what if I want to fly?" Long Tianxing asked.
Jia Yulan smiled sweetly, "There are many ways to fly, aside from the Sword Control Technique; you can also ride on Flying Spirit Artifacts or use a Flight Spell."
As she said this, Jia Yulan made hand seals and cast a nearly Major Achievement 'Falling Petals in Profusion,' causing countless beautiful pink petals to appear, rapidly forming into a bird with a two-meter wingspan.
Jia Yulan hopped onto the bird's back and, flashing Long Tianxing a charming smile, said, "This is a Flight Spell. However, it drains a lot of Spiritual Power, so it's only suitable for short-distance flight."
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already flown up into the sky.
"So awesome!"
Long Tianxing watched Jia Yulan soaring into the sky, her blue pupils filled with envy.
In mid-air.
Ye Feng was holding a piece of paper and a pen, carefully drawing a map of the top of Misty Peak.
His movements were fast, by the time Jia Yulan reached mid-air, he had already finished drawing.
Ye Feng was startled to see Jia Yulan high in the air and loudly reminded her:
"Your "Falling Blooms in Profusion" Spell isn't yet fully mastered. There are flaws. Although you can fly, it consumes Spiritual Energy very quickly. It's too dangerous high up there; come back quickly."
Jia Yulan laughed and said, "No problem, I can hold on."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from a distance.
The map in Ye Feng's hands was torn by the wind, half of it was left in his hands, while the other half flew away into the distance.
"Sect Leader, don't worry, I'll get it back for you."
Jia Yulan controlled the petal bird to chase after it, and it wasn't long before she caught the other half of the map and was about to return.
But at that moment, Mo Ying sensed a demonic aura approaching from the sky and exclaimed in alarm:
"Danger!"
Just as her voice fell, Mo Ying spotted a giant eagle with a wingspan of five meters flapping towards them. She used her Spirit Eyes and exclaimed in surprise:
"It's a Middle-Rank Demon Soldier Level 'Iron Claw Dragon Eagle;' hurry back to the peak!"
But her warning was already too late.
The Iron Claw Dragon Eagle closed the distance to Jia Yulan in an instant. Its huge and sharp claws easily tore through the petal bird.
At the same time, the burst of energy caused Jia Yulan to whimper, her mouth bleeding from the impact.
She couldn't continue to use "Falling Blooms in Profusion", and her figure, uncontrollable, began to fall from a height of over seven hundred meters.
"Quick, save her!"
Mo Ying, without a word, moved quickly. She used her Flying Sword to carry Ye Feng, speeding through the sky towards Jia Yulan.
"Ah, this is bad!"
Long Tianxing saw this scene and let out a shriek.
"It's the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle!"
Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, and the other disciples also burst out of their rooms just in time to see the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle return, diving towards Jia Yulan.
Xia He, Qiu Ju, and the others had already been frightened into a panic, their eyes filled with worry and fear.
"Monster, how dare you attack a Disciple of the Misty Sect!"
Ye Feng patted Mo Ying's shoulder, jumped from the Breeze-riding Sword, mounted the back of the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle, and punched it, sending it howling in pain and falling towards the ground.
"Save Jia Yulan first!"
Ye Feng shouted, stopping Mo Ying who was about to rush to his aid.
Hearing this, Mo Ying decisively sped up, caught the falling Jia Yulan, and turned back, only to see that Ye Feng had already grabbed onto the neck of the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle, plummeting down with it.
"Sect Leader, be careful!"
The disciples, seeing this ordeal, felt their hearts leap to their throats. Falling from such a height could be fatal unless one was as lucky as Brother Flathead.
"Fourth Senior Sister, quickly save the Sect Leader!"
Jia Yulan coughed up a mouthful of blood, frantically speaking to Mo Ying.
At this moment, the wind was very strong.
Mo Ying's veil was lifted by the wind, revealing a face as if corroded by poison fumes, giving Jia Yulan quite a shock.
Although Mo Ying heard the exclamations beside her, she ignored them, instead speeding up her drop and chasing after Ye Feng, who was falling rapidly with the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle.
