Starry night, Cangling Mountains.

There is an old saying: "The spiritual essence of the sky is floating in the clouds."

This place is located in the southwest of Zhongzhou. It is the highest mountain range in Tiancang Continent except Tianshan Mountain. It covers an area of ​​about 20 miles, with numerous peaks and mountains. Its main peak, "Cangyunjiao",

It is even more majestic and majestic.

Because the surrounding environment is extremely complex and the terrain is too steep, few low-level human monks have been able to approach the core area here since ancient times. Over time, some high-level bird-like demon cultivators seeking a habitat spread this place through word of mouth.

It became a secret base for homeless demons and one of the few inland shelters for demons.

Under the cover of night, on a small platform on the mountainside of "Cang Yun Corner", more than sixty human immortal cultivators wearing yellow robes and hoods were lurking here.

They were holding flying swords or holding rope bundles in their hands, and the spiritual pressure emitted from their bodies was all above the Golden Core stage, and the first three had reached the level of the early Yuanying stage. But at this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were...

Extremely solemn.

Among the monks standing at the front, one of the youngest men asked:

"Elder Jiang, the helmsman has been away for several days. Logically speaking, he should have returned long ago. Could it be that he encountered some accident along the way?"

As soon as these words came out, the other monks also focused their attention on the leading old man with great concern.

"I can't be sure about this. According to the efficiency of the helmsman in the past, after sending the information, he will indeed bring the reinforcements from the main hall to join us as soon as possible. But now the agreed time has been missed..."

The old man also looked worried and hesitated.

Just listen to the young man continue to say:

"Yes, Elder Jiang. Summer is coming. If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid those monster birds on the top of the mountain will fly north in a few days. We have gone through a lot of hard work to find this place. If we can

If we let them run away like this, wouldn't it be a waste of effort, manpower and time?"

This person is the most powerful and talented executive in the Southern Branch of the Demon-Slaying Alliance—Hong Yuan.

Although he is young, his words are very important in the alliance. After all, the Demon Slayer Alliance has been fighting monsters all year round, and its talent training system has always respected the strong. In addition, not only does he have great potential,

He is also the cousin of Hong Shikun, the young leader of the Demon Alliance, and has a close relationship with the leader Hong Tianyuan, so even the elders are very polite to him.

"Well, indeed."

The old man pondered for a moment and finally made a decision:

"Let's do this, Hong Yuan. Now that it's dark, you and I will immediately bring a few agile people, touch the 'Cang Yun Horn', and arrange all the formations, flags and arrays in advance near the monster's lair.

Waiting until dawn tomorrow, while several other demon birds are out looking for food, we will directly activate the formation and attack the top of the mountain. Once we successfully capture the 'Sky Eagle Canglan', we will leave quickly, Qian

Don’t stay too long.”

"But the materials on other demon birds are also very precious. Why don't we do more ambushes and catch them all in one go?" Hong Yuan was a little confused.

"Uh...this..."

Hearing such unstable remarks that showed no experience, Elder Jiang felt helpless and explained:

"Hong Yuan, our manpower this time is really not enough to face all the monsters in the lair... Besides, this is their territory, if something goes wrong..."

Before the elder could finish speaking, Hong Yuan shook his head and interrupted:

"The elder's words are wrong. Didn't we send spies to investigate before? Then there are only three monsters in the lair during this time, right?"

"Hey, there are three of them, but this..."

"Two of them are only at the elixir-forming stage, and the 'Sky Eagle Canglan' has just transformed. We, No. 60, are all monks above the golden elixir, and the three of us have already broken through to the Nascent Soul.

Is it worth being so timid when so many people fight three birds? Elder Jiang, when our Demon Slayer Alliance is doing things, we cannot follow the same old plan. Your ideas are already outdated."

Hong Yuan continued to express his views arrogantly:

"Since the reinforcements haven't arrived and time is very tight, I think it would be better for everyone to swarm up after setting up the array and kill all the monster birds in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, the more than sixty people present fell silent.

The old man named Jiang's face darkened, and he felt extremely depressed.

He himself understands that the terrain here is difficult and it is the most convenient place for birds and monsters to move around. Being able to fight it does not mean that they can catch it.

What's more, based on his years of experience, high-level flying monsters always have one or two special magical powers, which are extremely difficult for human monks to deal with.

Take the "Sky Eagle Canglan" in the intelligence as an example. This demon's wings are like iron, and its defense power is astonishing! And it can travel thousands of meters in its demon form! Although its speed is not as amazing as the legendary "White Falcon"

, but it is difficult to easily capture it with magic and magic tools such as the demon-binding rope. During the process, if you are not careful, she will probably escape.

It was obviously very difficult to deal with one goshawk beast, and now he had to deal with two other birds. This made Elder Jiang secretly shake his head.

However, he knew that Hong Yuan was young and energetic, and would never be able to remember things long without hitting a wall.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed: "That's all, I'll do as you say."

"So good!"

Hong Yuan waved his hand with satisfaction and ordered the cultivators behind him: "Then let's go!"

"yes!!"

…

…

Cangyunjiao, Chao** Department.

"Big Sister!!! Me!!! What should we do!!! They are coming up!!!"

"Sissi, please keep your voice down! If you yell any more, we won't even have a chance to fly out secretly!"

"Your voice is not soft either!! Skylark!! We will die, right!! We will really be killed by humans!! I heard that the wings of the demon birds captured by the Demon Slayer Alliance will be removed!!

The demon pill will also be taken out!! This is really bad!! We...ummm...?!"

This is a cave only a few meters deep and over a hundred square meters in size, located at the top of Cangyunjiao. At this moment, there are three figures in the cave who are formulating an escape plan around a simple wooden square table——

One of the petite girls in blue was staring dissatisfied at another short-haired girl who was frightened and panicked and dressed as a tomboy.

The girl's mouth was now covered by the tallest and calmest woman among the three.

This calm woman, like a big sister, has gray shoulder-length hair, a high nose, sharp eyes, a pretty face, and a calm expression.

She wore a tight-fitting black leather jumpsuit with a corset, her lower body exposed her smooth and dazzling thighs, and she wore homemade long black leather boots from her feet to her calves. She had a regular figure, but it was not difficult to tell from the exposed waistcoat line.

This is a healthy woman who likes sports.

This person is none other than the "Sky Eagle" the Demon Slayer Alliance calls him - Cang Lan.

"Quiet, Sissy."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"

The girl named Sissi nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would not make any more noise. Only then did Cang Lan let go of her hand, allowing her to breathe new air.

"Sister Canglan, what should we do..."

Hibari, who had transformed into a little girl, asked anxiously.

In fact, when she and Sissi came back from foraging for food today, they had already discovered the ambush of the human monks. After all, the bird demon cultivators will acquire a magical power of "seeing thousands of feet" after the elixir-forming stage. For them, "

"Always scouting your surroundings" is an essential skill to survive in this cold world.

However, considering that Sister Canglan, who has been taking care of everyone, is still here, even though they knew there was danger, they still did not choose to escape. Instead, they pretended not to see it and returned to the nest to inform their elder sister of the tense situation.

Head. But who knew that in less than a few hours, those humans would take action.

Although Cang Lan remained calm, she was very hesitant in her heart——

If you rush out rashly, you will definitely be attacked by human monks. With the magical power of the transformation stage, although I can't defeat so many monks, I can still escape if I want to.

But once he leaves, Sissi and Skylark will inevitably be arrested under the siege of those monks.

These two children were still young, and they risked their lives to come back to deliver information. Cang Lan, who had experienced the destruction of his species, did not want them to fall into the hands of human monks.

Everyone has been supporting each other for a long time. In this cruel world of immortality, it is already very difficult to survive. As an adult, Cang Lan believes that it is necessary to take on the responsibility of protecting them.

After a few breaths of silence, she suddenly said:

"I'll go out in a moment and attack those monks directly."

"What?! Sister Canglan! This..."

Yunque was about to say something, but heard her continue in a tone that left no room for doubt:

"While the humans of the Demon-Slaying Alliance haven't set up the formation yet, I will attract everyone's attention. At that time, you two will find an opportunity to escape. Fly north to the Snowy Mountains and never come back."

"Eh?!!! This can't be done!!! Big sister!!! We can't leave you!!! I... ugh!"

Sissi obviously couldn't hold it back and still made an objection.

Cang Lan covered her mouth again and said calmly:

"If you don't listen to me, you will all die here. One of you, or three of you together, your choice."

"Ahhhh...this..." Hearing this, Yunque was about to cry. Sissi even shook her head sadly while her mouth was covered. They didn't want to see Canglan, who had been taking care of everyone.

Sister died.

But time was too limited. Cang Lan didn't give them a choice. She didn't even have time to say goodbye. At the last moment, she gently rubbed Sissy's head and took out a necklace and a necklace from her arms.

He handed a letter to Yunque and said softly:

"This is the token of the Goshawk tribe. Take it with you and go north of the North Pole to find the demon god."

"No!! Sister Canglan!! You can't..."

"Skylark, Sissi. Live."

After that, she walked out of the cave without looking back. Amid the two women's pleas and cries, she opened her arms and transformed into a huge goshawk with a length of more than twenty feet under the dazzling gray light. In the blink of an eye, she rushed towards the cave.

Up to the sky.

——

In the next breath, under the shocked eyes of the monks on the mountain top, they suddenly turned and dived hard towards the crowd!!
Chapter completed!
