Chapter 75: The Seventh-Level Peak Bird Demon Leader

After returning to the hotel, Xiao Yun had already helped pack up everything needed.

When leaving the Holy City, Ye Weiyang and Feng Ling'er also came to see them off.

As for Lin Ze, he got into the carriage and began to cultivate.

After Lin Ze parted from Cai'er, he realized that he had been able to unlock the fourth seal.

The first three blood seals could be unlocked as long as his strength reached a certain level.

But the last seven seals required the collection of extreme lust to be lifted.

When Lin Ze came back, he unexpectedly discovered that the crystal representing fear and lust in his soul sea had been filled.

It had been filled after absorbing Cai'er's fear and desire yesterday.

At the same time—

In Lin Ze's soul sea.

Above his head was a dark black crystal.

The crystal decomposed into stardust-like brilliance at a speed visible to the naked eye, falling onto Lin Ze's body and being absorbed by him.

While absorbing this stardust, Lin Ze's spiritual power also increased rapidly.

In front of Lin Ze was a ball of light that looked very much like Taotie. Because it was a ball of light, only its outline could be seen, not its detailed features.

While Lin Ze was absorbing the "Fear and Desire" crystal—

The ball of light also said slowly, "The abilities gained by removing the first three blood seals are: Soul Devouring, Desire Devouring, and Shadow Strengthening. In order to let you survive better in this world, the improvements to your combat power were not too obvious, so they would not be easily discovered by the Heavenly Dao or creatures with ulterior motives. However, each of the next seven seals will bring you terrifying power. And unlike before, each lust crystal is an extremely precious item. Every time you absorb one, your spiritual power will be greatly improved."

Lin Ze nodded, gave no further response, and simply focused on cultivating.

He wanted to grow stronger!

Time passed swiftly.

The caravan departed from Southeast Fortress with supplies and headed toward Heart City of the Magic City.

After another two days, they had arrived at the border between Narik Province and Yak Province.

"It's so boring, Sister Yue."

Leng Xiao lay listlessly across Yue Ye's lap in the carriage, complaining.

"Just wait a little longer. At our current pace, we'll arrive in three days."

Yue Ye helped Leng Xiao comb her messy hair with a doting expression.

Leng Xiao turned her head to look at Lin Ze, who was still meditating. She stared at him with clear, innocent eyes and said, "When will Lin Ze wake up? It's been almost a week."

"You… Can't you learn something from Lin Ze? If you don't train, you'll get left behind sooner or later." Yue Ye lectured her seriously.

"Well, witches train differently. We grow through battle," Leng Xiao replied, giving an excuse for her inability to stay calm and cultivate.

Yue Ye and Xiao Yun just shook their heads helplessly.

But then Leng Xiao changed the topic: "Sister Yue, didn't you say the caravan often gets blocked or robbed? Why has everything been so quiet so far?"

"That's all thanks to Xiao Yun. She's the one who negotiated with all the local groups along the way. Many demon tribes haven't hindered us after receiving some food."

"In fact, ordinary food could sometimes be exchanged for good ores, equipment, or even Spirit Furnaces."

At this, Yue Ye couldn't help but admire her own judgment—Xiao Yun was a natural-born merchant. With her, the entire Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce was running smoothly.

It had saved her so much trouble.

In the past, when caravans returned to the Demon Tribe, they had to pay food as tolls. But with Xiao Yun present, not only was the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce spared any loss, they could even profit from the toll points.

For the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, it was simply transferring resources from one account to another.

However, just as they were speaking—

A thunderous roar echoed, like the sound of a landslide coming from up the hill.

At this time, Yue Ye and the others were passing through a narrow valley several kilometers long, with cliffs rising hundreds of meters on both sides.

Xiao Yun, who had been outside, hurried back into the carriage.

Seeing her return in a rush, Leng Xiao thought they were under attack and instantly sat up from Yue Ye's lap. But before she could speak—

Xiao Yun reported, "It's bad, Your Highness Yue Ye. There's a landslide ahead. It'll take at least half an hour to clear the road."

Hearing this, Leng Xiao flopped back down with disappointment, laying her head once again on Yue Ye's lap and grumbling, "I thought it was a robbery. I got excited for nothing. Xiao Yun, why did you bother coming back? Just send someone to clear the stones."

"No, I've walked this route many times. The rock structure on both sides of the valley is very stable. Under normal conditions, a landslide shouldn't happen. And it happened just as we were passing."

Yue Ye frowned. "Xiao Yun, have everyone stay alert. I suspect this was intentional."

After hearing this, Xiao Yun didn't delay. She left the carriage with a command flag in hand. The caravan was large, with more than 2,000 people.

Among them, there were dozens of fifth-level Moon Demons.

The rest were slightly weaker, but most were at least fourth-level professionals.

Under Xiao Yun's command, the carriages began to gather.

Just as she was preparing to send scouts to investigate—

Thousands of bird demons with spears in hand flew down from both sides of the cliffs.

"It's an enemy attack!"

Xiao Yun's voice rang out from outside.

Leng Xiao's eyes lit up. She'd been bored for too long.

"Yue Ye! I'm going out to see who dares to block the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce's caravan!"

Before Yue Ye could respond, Leng Xiao had already rushed out.

But the scene that greeted her outside still surprised her.

The entire Yue Ye caravan was now surrounded by thousands of bird demons.

The leader of the bird demons had even reached the peak of the seventh level!

Leng Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, looked up at the bird demon leader, and said coldly, "Do you know who the owner of this caravan is?"

The seventh-level peak bird demon leader was entirely golden—his feathers and even the spear in his hand glimmered gold.

Facing Leng Xiao's words, the bird demon leader replied disdainfully, "I don't care who you are. All I know is if we don't get food, we'll starve to death. As long as I kill you all, no one will know it was me."
