Chapter 81 The Sacrifice Has Arrived
Fish Gills shook the ancient bell in his hand, dealing with the goddess Medusa was no different from dealing with ordinary Medusas.
Soon, this talking, powerful Medusa was also put into the ancient bell by the fish gills.
After bowing gratefully to Ling Yunxiao once more, Fish Gills hummed a little tune and left, appearing noticeably more cheerful than when she arrived. Whether Medusa would become more cheerful after entering the Elemental River is hard to say.
"Brother Ling, you and A Jin go back to Heaven and wait for me. I still have a few days of training left, so I took leave today to come here."
As soon as Wang Mian finished speaking, purple clouds reappeared in the void. He smiled and waved goodbye to those around him, gave Ling Yunxiao a warning look, then stepped onto the clouds and quickly disappeared from the spot.
After Wang Mian left, Ling Yunxiao suddenly remembered something and took out several test tubes, distributing them equally to each member of the Phoenix Team. Xia Simeng led the entire team in a beaming bow to Ling Yunxiao, everyone raising their heads with sweet voices.
"Thank you, Brother Ling..."
Ling Yunxiao stumbled, no longer caring about catching up with the others, and pulled Yang Jian onto Garuda King's back, ordering Garuda King to take off quickly.
Above the void, amidst the white clouds.
After Ling Yunxiao sat down, he noticed that Yang Jian's complexion was not good.
"Ah Jin, how are you?"
"It's nothing, just exhaustion. My divine essence has only recently recovered, and I don't have much divine power left. Blocking Medusa's light wave just now was quite strenuous. But don't worry, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"All right!"
Ling Yunxiao nodded, said nothing more, patted Garuda King on the back, and headed straight for the Heavenly Court.
However, before the two even reached the sacred Yaochi, the figure of the gray-robed Taoist appeared.
"Yuanshi Tianzun."
Ling Yunxiao scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, feeling the awkwardness of someone else's child getting into a brawl and then being confronted by the other child's parents after getting injured.
"It doesn't matter..."
The Celestial Venerable chuckled, unleashing a gentle force that landed on Yang Jian before turning his gaze towards the capital.
"Ye Fan sent word to you this morning, probably because he has prepared what you wanted. You two should stay in the capital for the next few days. It's quite boring here in the Heavenly Court, so you'd better not come back."
After the Celestial Venerable finished speaking, he smiled gently at Garuda King.
Garuda King felt its liver and gall tremble with fear, and it nodded hastily. Without giving Ling Yunxiao a chance to speak, it spread its wings and swooped down towards the capital.
"Ah Jin, why do I feel like the Heavenly Venerable doesn't really welcome me to the Heavenly Court?"
Ling Yunxiao sat on Garuda King's back, looking at Yang Jian with a bewildered expression. Yang Jian was equally puzzled. What was wrong with the Heavenly Venerable? He had clearly appeared there to stop the two of them!
After confirming that the two had left, the Heavenly Court slowly opened its gates.
The Celestial Venerable breathed a long sigh of relief as he looked at the returning Twelve Golden Immortals and Twenty-Eight Constellations. Thankfully, he had arrived in time to stop Ling Yunxiao. If he had been allowed to stay in the Heavenly Court, it was hard to say who he would have managed to trick into leading the Wuwang Squad away when they ventured back into the mist.
Ling Yunxiao and Yang Jian rode on the back of Garuda King and soon arrived in the capital.
Zuo Qing had already left the headquarters and boarded a helicopter to greet the two.
Upon seeing Garuda King, Zuo Qing ordered the helicopter to hover and waved to Yang Jian.
"The Celestial Venerable means that you must return with me to the Great Xia Dragon Vein for three days to recuperate. After three days, I will give you the Purple Gold Armor."
Yang Jian frowned and turned to look at Ling Yunxiao. Ling Yunxiao was full of confusion. Even if he wasn't allowed to go to the Dragon Vein, surely he shouldn't be prevented from entering the capital? Had something happened?
“Yunxiao, have you forgotten what you sent Lu Wuwei to do? Nothing happened, he’s just at Qifeng Ferry and wants you to go there.”
Ling Yunxiao was taken aback. The Ancient God Church no longer existed, and the Wind Vein Earth Dragon should be perfectly fine. Was he being asked to go just to watch him show off? Lu Wuwei wasn't that kind of person!
“Ah Jin, you go back with Zuo Qing first! I’ll go with Garuda King. If anything happens, I’ll have Garuda King come back for reinforcements.”
Ling Yunxiao patted Yang Jian on the shoulder, but Yang Jian remained standing in the same spot, showing no intention of leaving.
“I met Lu Wuwei during the Cangnan God War. He’s quite strong, so he shouldn’t be looking for you for no reason. I’m really worried about letting you go alone.”
"Ah Jin, since you remember what happened during the Cangnan Divine War, what is there to worry about!"
Ling Yunxiao smiled slightly, and in his hands were the Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death, which he spread out in front of Yang Jian.
Yang Jian immediately composed himself and walked towards Zuo Qing. After Zuo Qing's helicopter slowly departed, Ling Yunxiao patted Garuda King's head. Garuda King already knew the direction of Qifeng Ferry and spread his wings to rush in that direction.
Two hours later, Ling Yunxiao saw the two figures, one human and one dragon, facing off in the distance.
Ling Yunxiao landed behind Lu Wuwei without hesitation, and Lu Wuwei grinned at the wind vein earth dragon in front of him.
"The offerings have arrived; you may begin the ritual."
