Chapter 751: The power of Little Birdie
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The fireball changed into a little vermillion bird and flew towards the cluster of death aura. The bird produced a screech that was both loud and urgent.
The little vermillion bird flew into the death aura and it quickly burned. In less than a minute, all the death auras were burned into nothingness.
Once that little vermillion bird had burned away the cluster of death auar, it immediately charged to the person lying on the ground behind. Following which, there was a loud howl blood-curdling screech as a ghost disappeared along with it.
When the other ghosts saw this, they were so afraid that they scattered and wanted to fly away. However, once the little vermilion bird set its sights on it, it chased them to the end. Once it caught up it would be burned away completely.
“Such a powerful fire attack!” Feng Two opened his mouth wide with surprise as he looked at the little vermillion bird with shock.
“This isn’t the average flame.” Feng One said, “Even if it were us, I’m afraid…”
Little Vermilion Bird flew one circle around, and most of the ghosts had been burnt to death. Sima You Yue waited until most had been killed before she kept it away.
At the same moment, she released her wood attribute spirit power, forming a long green vine, capturing the remaining ghosts.
The wood attribute was one that was able to rival the death aura as well. There were times where it was more useful than the fire attribute.
Those ghosts were tied up tight and dared not struggle forcefull. Because, once they struggled, they would touch the green vine and that vibrant life force was like lethal poison to them. It would fill them with heart wrenching pain.
Sima You Yue walked over and walked a circle around them.
“How is it? I said that your death aura was useless, right? You didn’t believe me.”
“What kind of flame is this? How is it so powerful?!”
Sima You Yue kept the flames away and started to play with her ring.
“This flame has been passed down so that we can use it to defeat you.” She said, “If you are able to tell me about what’s happening on Bright Red Mountain Peak, I can make your suffering short. If you do not, I’ll let you have a full experience of the power of my little birdie.”
The flame seemed to dislike the nickname she had given it, hoping a few times in her hand in protest. However, it was blatantly ignored.
“We will not!” One of the ghosts was still bold, and refused to be suppressed by Sima You Yue.
Sima You Yue did not waste words as she released Little Birdie. That person had already been burnt to ash by the time it returned.
“What about you guys? Do you plan to stay silent as well?” Sima You Yue looked at them with an icy gaze. As long as someone said that they wouldn’t she would exterminate them.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” One of the ghosts did not want to die as it said in a loud voice, “We… Ah…”
However, the moment he spoke a single word, he cried out. It seemed as if something had grabbed its throat as his eyes bulged and tongue grew long. He stretched forth both hands and grabbed at his own neck hard, thinking of praying apart those formless hands, but the moment he touched his own neck, he had strangled himself.
“Ahhh-”
That person flailed about on the vine, and sizzled into a cluster of death aura the moment his body touched it.
“What’s going on?” Sima You Yue looked at the death aura in surprise.
Feng One and Feng Two had yet to speak when the others turned into clusters of death aura as well, dissipating into the air. It was just that theirs was not as painful.
Sima You Yue released her green vines as she looked across the river.
At this moment, on the top of a bright red mountain peak, a beautiful and enchanting male opened his eyes.
“Since someone has seen through it, that person cannot remain. Send men to get rid of him.” That male’s voice was pleasant to the ears, but it had not a shred of warmth, as if killing someone was as normal as cultivating.
“I will.” There was a ripple in the space above as Huan Wei was about to leave before he heard the bishounen say, “Go in two days. Protect me first.”
“Yes, Master.” The space regained its calm again, as if nobody was ever there to begin with.
Outside Mushui City, Sima You Yue was prepared to head back when a few figures flew towards her.
“Are you okay?” Mushui City Lord immediately asked when he arrived.
“So it is Mushui’s City Lord. I am fine.” Sima You Yue siad, “What is City Lord doing here?”
“I was about to head back to the city when I heard something. By the time I rushed over,I realised that some people had already died. I heard sounds of a battle over here, so I rushed here to take a look.” Mushui City Lord said, “It’s a good thing that you’re fine.”
“Are all those people dead?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Yes, they are.” Mushui City Lord said, “Did you happen to encounter those creature as well?”
“I did.” Sima You Yue said.
“Do you happen to know what those things are?” Mushui City Lord asked.
“I saw them.” Sima You Yue felt that the Mushui City Lord wasn’t bad, and was willing to share some information. “They are ghosts from the Ghost Realm. They came here to harm others, and should be under someone’s control.”
“Creatures from the Ghost Realm?” Mushui City Lord’s reaction was similar to Chou Xiao Tian’s as they didn’t believe that those from the Ghost Realm could come to the human realm to create trouble.
“Has the City Lord realised that the bodies of those who died recently, appear as if they have been dead for a long time? That the wounds of those injured have a strong rotting odor?” Sima You Yue asked.
Mushui City Lord nodded, “Indeed, I have.”
“If it were not that they were creatures from the Ghost Realm, how could the wounds be this way?” Sima You Yue said.
Mushui City Lord, as well as the people behind him fell deep into contemplation. That creatures from an unknown realm had invaded their human realm meant that circumstances were more dire than they expected.
“I heard that all of those from the Ghost Realm are powerful. I wonder how you, Young Lord, think about this?” One of the people behind the City Lord, who didn’t look like a guard, asked.
“Because those from the Ghost Realm had the protection of the death aura, they really are more powerful than humans. However, it will be fine as long as we find a way to control it.” Sima You Yue said, “If you want to defeat them, you can use people who have the wood, fire or lightning attributes. It would be a lost cause if those of other attributes went. Also, take extreme care not to let them come close to you. Otherwise, they will absorb your soul.”
“Thank you, Young Lord, for sharing your knowledge.” Mushui city Lord cupped his fists towards Sima You Yue, “Young Lord, do you want to return to the city?”
Sima You Yue saw that the east was already brightening as she shook her head, “I still have things to do. I will not be returning.”
“Young Lord, what is it you need to do? Do you need any assistance from me, Sir Xiao?” City Lord asked.
“No need.” Sima You Yue said, “I’m going over there to take a look. You wouldn’t be able to help me even if you wanted to.”
“You want to head over there?” Everyone looked at her with surprise.
“Yes, I’m heading over to take a look.” Sima You Yue siad, “Feng One, Feng Two, you don’t have to follow me this time. Head back to the in to protect my brothers.”
“But, Young Master…”
“I dislike having disobedient people by my side.” Sima You Yue siad.
Feng One and Feng Two thought it over before replying, “We understand. We will ensure their safety.”
“If things aren’t safe, get them to leave the Central Province. Do not wait for me.” She emphasized.
“Yes, Young Master.”
Sima You Yue nodded towards Mushui City Lord as she called out Halcyon and Little Dream, taking them with her as they flew towards Bright Red Mountain Peak…
