Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: The Storm Begins

ROAR!

A dragon’s roar echoed as sound waves billowed out, crashing directly toward the Profound Eagles ahead.

The sound waves spread, causing the Profound Eagles to freeze in mid-air. Many began to plummet.

Ling Fei, riding his Golden Eagle, seized the opportunity to fly past them.

Only after Ling Fei was far in the distance did the Profound Eagles regain their senses.

By then, many of the Profound Eagles had nearly hit the ground.

Panicked, the eagles hurriedly beat their wings to stabilize themselves.

Just then, the dragon’s roar vibrated outward, spreading to the distant horizon.

”That sound!” In the distance, six Red Simurghs abruptly halted. The eleven young men riding them narrowed their eyes, their gazes fixed on the area where Ling Fei was.

”That sounds like Ling Fei’s Sound Wave Secret Technique!” one of the young men muttered.

”That *is* Ling Fei’s Sound Wave Secret Technique,” another young man next to him said, his eyes darkening.

This young man was none other than Wang Xu.

After the elders of Tianyan Academy had gone after Ling Fei, he had also joined this group.

This was because after Marquis Yun had lost track of Ling Fei, he had immediately sent word, dispatching numerous teams to search for him.

Anyone who could provide a clue would be handsomely rewarded.

With such a great reward on the line, it was only natural that many people were willing to hunt for Ling Fei.

Among them were quite a few students from Tianyan Academy.

In this group, the young men on the two leading Red Simurghs were, in fact, Divine Guards.

Not only that, but they were now Celestial Spirit Realm Cultivators. The Divine Guard Badges at their waists emanated the faint might of the Celestial Emperor.

These badges were forged from bronze and engraved with a True Dragon.

It was a symbol of status!

In the Great Tang Empire, Divine Guards were also divided into ranks.

They were: Iron Guard, Bronze Guard, Silver Guard, and Golden Guard!

Iron Guards were typically Innate Realm Cultivators and were numerous in the Empire.

Bronze Guards were Celestial Spirit Realm Cultivators.

As for Silver Guards, one had to achieve great merit to be granted the title.

Golden Guard!

That was an honor only Dukes could obtain.

Regardless of their rank, their waist tokens all bore the nine-word inscription: ”Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny, Bestowed by the Celestial Emperor.”

All of these individuals enjoyed the protection of the Emperor’s Qi.

The two Divine Guards were named Wang Yuhao and Liu Yunxuan.

They were at the Early Stage of Celestial Spirit and Mid Stage of Celestial Spirit Realm respectively, clearly talented young prodigies of their clans.

Besides them, there were five other Divine Guards in the group, but they were only at the Perfect Innate Realm—nothing more than the most common Iron Guards.

The remaining four were students from Tianyan Academy.

”Heh, I never thought we’d run into Ling Fei here. Heaven must be on my side.”

Wang Yuhao laughed heartily, his eyes burning with fervor as he gazed ahead.

”Wang Xu, are you sure that sound came from Ling Fei?” Liu Yunxuan asked, his eyes narrowing as he looked back at Wang Xu on a Red Simurgh behind him.

”I’m sure,” Wang Xu said. ”I heard his soul sound wave with my own ears back then. There’s no mistaking it.”

”Excellent. In that case, let’s move out!” said Liu Yunxuan. ”Otherwise, if others are drawn by the sound, our chance will be gone.”

Ling Fei was, after all, a fugitive wanted by Marquis Yun.

If they could capture him, it wasn’t impossible that they could be promoted to Silver Level Divine Guards.

How could they be willing to miss such an opportunity?

”Brother Yunxuan, Ling Fei’s Sound Wave Secret Technique is very powerful. Are you sure you can take him down?” Wang Xu’s face was also flushed with excitement, but the thought of Ling Fei’s technique still filled him with a trace of fear. Under that Secret Technique, one’s soul would be shaken, and death could come in an instant.

This made him more than a little hesitant.

”Heh heh, we are Divine Guards. We naturally have our ways of dealing with him,” Wang Yuhao laughed boisterously from the side.

However, Wang Xu and the others were still apprehensive.

”A Divine Guard? What does that mean? It means we are Guards protected by the Celestial Emperor, shouldering the heavy responsibility of bringing order to the world! What’s so difficult about dealing with some guy at the Innate Realm?” Wang Yuhao’s face was filled with confidence. If he were just an Iron Guard, he naturally wouldn’t have such conviction. But as a Bronze Guard, what was there to be afraid of?

Beside him, Liu Yunxuan also smiled nonchalantly, clearly not taking Ling Fei seriously at all.

It seemed they already had a way to deal with Ling Fei.

Seeing this, Wang Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze toward the Void ahead burned with fervor.

’After all, if they capture Ling Fei this time, I’ll get the primary credit!’

WHOOSH!

And so, the six Red Simurghs carried the eleven people into the Beichuan Mountain Range ahead.

They flew into the mountain range, but with towering peaks before them, they couldn’t pinpoint Ling Fei’s location.

Suddenly, they spotted several young men by a long river.

”Have you seen this person?” Wang Xu went forward, took out a portrait of Ling Fei, and asked.

”We have! Just yesterday, he was here by the lake. He stunned several Innate Realm Demon Pythons with a single massive roar,” the men quickly replied upon seeing the portrait.

”Oh!” Wang Xu was overjoyed. ”Which way did he go?”

”He went straight into the depths of the mountain range,” the man said, pointing in the direction Ling Fei had gone.

”Let’s go!” Wang Xu and his group then followed that direction and continued onward.

...

Ling Fei was now deep in the mountains. He didn’t rush further in but instead gathered Spiritual Essence nearby to replenish Yiyi’s depleted Essence Qi.

At the same time, this would also allow people nearby to find him.

’Otherwise, if I go too deep into the mountains where no one can find me, I won’t be able to draw more people here and take the pressure off my adoptive father.’

Yiyi was continuously absorbing the Essence Qi that Ling Fei refined, but its recovery was very slow. It remained in a deep slumber.

Apparently, the Essence Qi from these ordinary Spiritual Essences was not enough to make up for what the little one had lost.

’I wonder where Ling Fei is?’ At that moment, a woman in white was flying through the mountain range on a Profound Eagle, her clear eyes scanning in all directions.

This woman was Shangguan Wan’Er.

She had been preparing to head toward the Celestial River Academy area when she unexpectedly heard the True Dragon Roar.

With a glimmer of hope, she immediately entered the mountain range to search for Ling Fei.

...

ROAR!

Deep within the mountains, atop a peak, a massive Profound Eagle flew over, blocking Ling Fei’s path.

This Profound Eagle was extremely fierce. Its gaze was sharp, glinting like the edge of a blade and striking fear into one’s heart.

This was a Profound Eagle that had reached the Celestial Spirit Middle Stage Realm.

’As expected, the deeper I go into the mountain range, the stronger the Demon Birds I encounter.’ Ling Fei’s eyes narrowed. ’But this is for the best. It’s about time people found me.’ Only by revealing his position here in the depths could he ensure an escape route; if he was outmatched, he could retreat further into the mountains.

That way, he would have a chance of survival.

ROAR!

The dragon’s roar sounded, and sound waves billowed forward.

Soon, the eyes of the originally aggressive Profound Eagle immediately dimmed.

SWISH!

Aboard the Golden Eagle, Ling Fei flipped his palm, a long sword appearing in his hand, and killed the Profound Eagle with a single thrust.

Immediately after, he sensed the situation behind him before steering the Golden Eagle onward.

However, the sound of his dragon’s roar immediately caused those searching for him in the mountain range to look in its direction.

”That’s Ling Fei’s Sound Wave Secret Technique!”

”It’s in that direction!”

”Look... there’s a figure on that Golden Eagle!” At that moment, Wang Xu and his group spotted Ling Fei up ahead.

”After him!” With fervent expressions, they urged their Red Simurghs to fly forward.

”The Sound Wave Secret Technique!” Behind them, Shangguan Wan’Er’s eyes also lit up. ”It’s Ling Fei!”

She quickly headed in the direction of the sound waves as well.

WHOOSH!

And so, a flock of birds followed closely behind Ling Fei’s Golden Eagle.

A storm was about to begin.
