Chapter 552: Chapter 551: Discovered

"YAH!" As Old Shi Ren performed his scrying, Little Shi Tou suddenly looked up from inside the Medicine Garden, as if he had sensed it.

However, the little guy quickly went back to searching for good medicinal ingredients for Yiyi without a care in the world.

The Medicine Garden was vast, and since he couldn’t possibly take all the herbs, he naturally had to pick the very best for Yiyi.

"It seems Little Shi Tou noticed we were scrying him!"

"That kid! He just ran off as if nothing happened!" Seeing this, the Elders in the main hall were left speechless.

Still, seeing Little Shi Tou act this way also made them happy.

Regardless, the Little Shi Tou of today was much better than the wooden puppet he used to be!

Meanwhile, Ling Fei was also busy gathering herbs.

"Wow, that’s an Ink Jade Celestial Lotus!" Deep within the Medicine Garden, Ling Fei discovered a Celestial Lotus in a small pond.

A thrill of joy shot through him.

Back then, Kun Shan had wanted to offer this very Spiritual Essence to the Stone Race in exchange for them handing over Ling Fei for execution!

"These boys!" Seeing that both Ling Fei and Little Shi Tou were unharmed, the Elders in the main hall breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"But they’re ultimately not safe in the Kunpeng Race’s territory. We must have them return as soon as possible," the Fourth Elder said.

"Mm," everyone nodded in agreement.

Old Shi Ren nodded. Then, with a stir of his Heart Spirit, he immersed it into the Stone Mirror.

"Little Shi Tou, it’s time to come home!"

"Young Master Ling, don’t let the Kunpeng Race find you!" The deep voice echoed throughout the Medicine Garden, reaching the ears of Ling Fei and Little Shi Tou.

"YAH!" Little Shi Tou’s eyelashes twitched and his face flushed. But as he gazed at the garden full of herbs, he couldn’t bear to leave.

’In his opinion, the Kunpeng Race must have other Medicine Gardens like this one, and he wasn’t even finished plundering this one yet.’

"Ahem, Clan Leader, we’re in big trouble," Ling Fei said with an awkward smile.

"What big trouble?" At his words, Old Shi Ren’s heart skipped a beat.

In the main hall, every one of the Elders pricked up their ears.

"We came to the Kunpeng Race’s territory to rescue someone, but we were discovered. Now we’re being hunted," Ling Fei said timidly.

"What! You really went to rescue someone?!" Hearing this, Old Shi Ren’s eyelid began to twitch. He had a bad feeling about this.

’Stealing herbs was one thing; it wasn’t that easy to get caught.’

’But rescuing someone? You were bound to be discovered!’

This instantly gave him a massive headache.

"They’re being hunted by the Kunpeng Race?" The Elders in the main hall grew anxious.

"Those boys... they’re being hunted and they’re still thinking about stealing herbs?" At the same time, a few of the Elders were speechless, completely exasperated with Little Shi Tou.

After all, one could hardly describe how leisurely Little Shi Tou had been while picking herbs just a moment ago.

The little guy didn’t have the slightest sense of danger that came with being hunted.

"We have to go and support them!" the Grand Elder said.

"This is trouble!" The Sixth Elder frowned. "Our Stone Race is quite a distance from the Kunpeng Race."

Besides, even if they charged over now, it would be extremely difficult. The Kunpeng Race had already activated their great formation; how could rescuing them be so easy?

"Just hide and don’t move," Old Shi Ren finally said, preparing to go rescue them himself.

"Have the disciples of the Stone Race prepare for battle immediately!" he simultaneously shouted to the other Elders.

He had learned from Ling Fei that Little Shi Tou had killed a Kunpeng Race expert. The situation had escalated, and it was clearly past the point of a peaceful resolution.

"Yes!" The Elders nodded at once.

...

"Still no sign of them?" At that moment, within the Kunpeng Race’s territory, the Third Elder’s gaze was incredibly grim.

"No, sir!" Kun Shan looked embarrassed. Nearly ten thousand experts were circling in the sky, surveying the landscape, yet they hadn’t found a single trace of Ling Fei, which enraged him.

"As long as he is in our territory, I refuse to believe he can simply vanish into thin air," Kunlong said, his gaze icy. He then took out a Supreme Treasure.

It was a Bone Mirror, refined from the forehead bone of a Kunpeng that was close to the Divine Level. It contained profound Mystical power and could briefly rewind and reconstruct past events.

BZZZT!

Dao Patterns condensed between Kunlong’s brows and sank into the Bone Mirror. He was using a Secret Technique of the Kunpeng Race to rewind time and space, causing the scene to reappear.

This was a special Divine Technique unique to their race.

Most of these Ancient Divine Races possessed their own special abilities.

Some of the great races even had similar techniques.

The Candle Dragon Race, for example, was also heaven-defyingly powerful. They could also rewind time and space, and their methods were even more sophisticated.

As the Dao Patterns sank into the Bone Mirror, Light Patterns flashed across its surface, revealing a pocket of space.

It was the territory of the Kunpeng Race.

Images appeared within it, showing Ling Fei and Yiyi constantly traversing space to escape, as well as the scene of them killing an expert.

"They entered our clan’s Medicine Garden!" Finally, Kunlong detected some fluctuations.

Just as Yiyi disappeared, a ripple had spread out near their Medicine Garden.

Although the fluctuation was so subtle that an ordinary person would have been unable to detect it, a person of his stature immediately noticed the anomaly.

"They’re in the Medicine Garden on our clan’s Kun Water Island!" Kunlong sent a message to Kun Shan. "Go and execute them at once."

"Yes, sir!" Outside, Kun Shan received the message. His gaze turned cold as he looked to the seven Daoist Palace Realm experts beside him and said, "Let’s go. To Kun Water Island."

"Yes, sir!" Instantly, Kunpeng wings spread from their backs, and they flew toward Kun Water Island.

’This is bad. I think we’ve been discovered.’ Inside the Medicine Garden, Ling Fei’s eyelid twitched. A moment ago, he felt as if a pair of icy eyes were staring at him. The chilling killing intent in that gaze made him feel uneasy. He immediately stopped picking herbs and flew toward Little Shi Tou.

A glint flashed in the eyes of Little Shi Tou and Yiyi as they, too, sensed a dangerous aura.

"Deactivate the Medicine Garden’s Restriction!" From the Void, Kun Shan flew over, transformed into a giant Peng bird, and a deep voice boomed from his beak.

Yes!

Instantly, the guards of the Medicine Garden deactivated the Restriction.

BZZZT!

With a flash of light, the Medicine Garden’s Restriction dissipated. Ling Fei and Little Shi Tou were instantly exposed to the countless experts of the Kunpeng Race.

"There they are!"

"Everyone, secure the perimeter! Prevent them from escaping through the Void! Pay attention to any subtle fluctuations, and if you find them trying to escape, kill them on sight!"

As soon as Ling Fei was exposed to the Kunpeng experts, a series of commands rang out from the Void above.

The Kunpeng Race experts were relaying orders to their subordinates to kill Ling Fei in one fell swoop.

"Yes, sir!"

In an instant, nearly a thousand Kunpeng Race experts converged on the area.

The sky was completely shrouded in a gloomy light as a terrifying aura pressed down, making it seem as if the Void itself was about to shatter.

’We’re surrounded?’ As the Restriction dissipated, the sight of nearly a thousand Kunpeng appearing in the Void made Ling Fei’s eyelid twitch.

The weakest among these Kunpeng had a Cultivation at the Perfect Divine Mansion Realm.

Daoist Palace Realm experts stood guard in every direction.

With so many experts gathered together, the terrifying aura alone was enough to make a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator’s blood vessels burst from the pressure.

A Gravity Domain Field and the True Dragon Armor unconsciously materialized around Ling Fei to resist the terrifying pressure.

"Heh heh, Ling Fei, prepare to die! Since you came to my Kunpeng Race, don’t even think about leaving alive!" In the Void, Kun Shan let out a savage grin. Immediately, the giant claws beneath his Peng belly stretched for hundreds of miles, tearing through the Void as they reached down to grab the Medicine Garden.
