Chapter 1580
Chapter 1580 (Raw 1562):
Wei He's group of five tried to surround and kill Xiao Chen's group. However, at this moment, only Feng Yun remained alive, still fighting Xiao Chen and desperately holding on.
The Lotus Sect Temple in the Purple Sun Region was subordinate to the Black Lotus Church. Although they were not closely related, they received some news from the Black Lotus Church.
Feng Yun, who was fighting with Xiao Chen, felt very bitter.
The longer Feng Yun fought, the more fearful he felt. A sense of helplessness spread throughout his body.
No matter what powerful Martial Technique Feng Yun used, he was not even a threat to Xiao Chen, who easily broke every move he sent out.
Feng Yun was close to the peak of the Yin Essence Stage. However, before Xiao Chen, a Veritable Essence Stage cultivator, he felt like he was dancing in the other party's palms.
This was especially so after Xiao Chen drew his saber. Saber Might covered the place, sealing off all paths of escape.
"Lotus Flower Evasion!"
After realizing that he could not fight his way out of this situation, Feng Yun suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood, and his figure turned into tens of thousands of lotus flowers scattering in all directions.
Xiao Chen looked around, sizing them up and discovering that the lotus flowers were hard to differentiate from each other. There was no way for him to figure out where Feng Yun went.
"I let him escape…"
Xiao Chen felt somewhat depressed. He had thought that he had this Lotus Sect Temple's Feng Yun firmly in his grasp.
On the other hand, Luo Nan was incredibly excited. He said, "Five people surrounding us, but we killed four, and one fled. It looks like these people are only so-so."
Fei`er said calmly, "Stop speaking nonsense. If not for Senior Brother Ye Bai reminding us to attack first, this battle would not have been this easy."
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "These five were not that weak. If they had surrounded me, I would not have had much of an advantage. It is better to be more cautious in Profound Yin Island's inner area."
"Senior Brother Ye Bai, what should we do now?" Fei`er asked as she looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought before replying, "The two of you already absorbed a complete clump of Baleful Yin Energy each. You can be considered to have exceeded the purpose of this trip. I feel that you can go back first. It will be safer."
Fei`er quickly objected, "No way. Senior Brother Bai Ye, you have not refined Baleful Yin Energy yet. How can we go just like that? Furthermore, even if you can find Baleful Yin Energy, we still need to guard you. Otherwise, what if you get injured by a ferocious beast? What will you do then?"
Luo Nan did not say anything. He, too, did not feel good about leaving just like that.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's expression flickered, and he looked into the distance.
The faint connection between him and Little Yellow Feather allowed him to sense that the Golden Crow was currently fighting.
Furthermore, Little Yellow Feather was not in good condition.
Without thinking much, Xiao Chen rushed off in that direction.
Fei`er and Luo Nan did not know what happened, but they immediately followed.
---
There was a mountain range in the depths of Profound Yin Island known as Profound Yin Mountain.
Mutated beasts roamed this mountain range. These beasts were strong and ferocious, making this place a forbidden land.
Few of the sect disciples seeking Baleful Yin Energy would go there, as there were too many ferocious beasts. Most of the people who went there never came back.
At this moment, a large bird radiating golden light from its entire body was flying around the mountain.
Occasionally, this bird would burst out in extremely raucous laughter.
"Roar!"
The one roaring savagely was a black ferocious beast that looked like a tiger. This beast possessed the strength of a half-step Primal Core cultivator.
Little Yellow Feather had pilfered a Thousand Leaf Fruit that that beast had guarded for five hundred years.
As this tiger-like beast roared furiously, hundreds of startled beasts in the mountains fled in fear.
The sound wave broke many trees in the forest.
"Si! Si!"
A one-kilometer-long snake on the ground eyed the golden bird in the sky coldly as it flicked its tongue in and out.
Everywhere it passed, cold Qi penetrated one hundred meters into the ground, turning the ground into frozen dirt.
This snake was incensed. The golden bird had raided its nest, barbequed its eggs, and eaten them.
There was also a huge golden-tailed eagle chasing after the golden bird. With a careful look, one would discover that half of the eagle's golden tail feathers seemed to be burnt.
Aside from these, many ferocious beasts were rushing over on the mountain, all of them at peak Yang Essence Stage level.
A rough count showed that Little Yellow Feather had offended at least ten ferocious beasts.
When ferocious beasts reached such a level, they became very intelligent. Their rage was overwhelming; they wished that they could swallow Little Yellow Feather alive.
It appeared that Little Yellow Feather had gone too far.
Although Little Yellow Feather still could not speak, it was already very intelligent. As it looked around, it was somewhat startled.
It had offended too many ferocious beasts and was surrounded by them.
Even so, Little Yellow Feather moved about nimbly and unpredictably in the encirclement, dodging many attacks.
Occasionally, Little Yellow Feather even opened its mouth and spat out fire, burning these ferocious beasts and causing them to scream out in agony.
Even though this fellow clearly realized the danger, it still could not help laughing smugly.

When Xiao Chen arrived before Profound Yin Mountain, Fei`er and Luo Nan were both stunned.
"Senior Brother Ye Bai, this Profound Yin Mountain is extremely dangerous. Before we came out, Master instructed us never to enter it." Fei`er's eyes darkened with worry.
Luo Nan listened carefully, hearing the livid roars of many scary ferocious beasts coming from the mountain range.
"What's going on? The ferocious beasts in the mountain seem to be extremely angry." The startled Luo Nan involuntarily retreated a few steps.
Xiao Chen thought for a while before he pushed off the ground and slowly soared into the air to fly towards Profound Yin Mountain.
Fei`er shook her head but took off after him.
"Junior Sister…" Luo Nan was so frustrated that he gnashed his teeth. However, he had no choice but to follow.
Soon, the three saw ten-odd ferocious beasts surrounding Little Yellow Feather.
Startled, Luo Nan exclaimed, "Damn! Where did this golden bird come from? It looks swollen with arrogance!"
Xiao Chen calmly explained, "It is my spirit pet."
When Luo Nan heard that, he said in shock, "Your spirit pet?"
Fei`er asked directly, "Senior Brother Ye Bai, are you going to save it?"
Xiao Chen nodded, but his expression was somewhat unsightly. He got this little fellow to go look for the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy, but in just a matter of days, it caused such a big problem.
Luo Nan said sullenly, "There are more than ten ferocious beasts, and one of them is a half-step Primal Core Realm Ink Flame Tiger. Isn't this too risky?"
"Screw that. Move back a little first."
Right after Xiao Chen said that, he descended quickly.
Human kid, what are you trying to do?
Xiao Chen had just descended when several voices rang out in his head.
He was not surprised. When ferocious beasts reached such a level, they would have a certain degree of intelligence.
"That is my spirit pet. I'm going to take it away. If it offended you in any way, I apologize on its behalf."
Fei`er and Luo Nan were both stunned that Xiao Chen, who had jumped down suddenly, did not get eaten by this group of ferocious beasts right away.
Having been tempered in the cruel wilderness for a long time, these ferocious beasts had very acute instincts.
When Xiao Chen landed, several Yang Essence Stage ferocious beasts felt some fear in their hearts and hesitated. Although their hearts burned with rage, they did not act immediately.
That bastard barbequed my snake eggs. How can I let it go?
It completely burned down my nest in the mountain. I cannot tolerate that!
Scram. I must eat it alive.
A succession of wrathful voice projections rang out in Xiao Chen's head, causing a headache.
When Xiao Chen turned his head to look, Little Yellow Feather had already stopped at his side and turned into an obedient bird. He smiled and said, "I had not discovered that you had such a talent. Truly incredible."
Little Yellow Feather puffed out its chest and shook its wings, thinking that Xiao Chen was praising it.
Kid, we ferocious beasts have an agreement with your sects. Profound Yin Mountain is a forbidden land. We will not go down to eat the sect disciples, and the sects will not bother us.
The half-step Primal Core Realm Ink Flame Tiger took one step forward, exuding a tyrannical air that gave the impression of a supreme ruler. Then, it continued projecting its voice. I'll give you two choices: First, retreat obediently, and we will pretend that we never saw you. Second, remain, and we will eat your flesh and drink your blood to grow our cultivation.
The Ink Flame Tiger's eyes flickered with an ominous light as it gazed coldly at Xiao Chen. Then, it glared ferociously at Little Yellow Feather, which was now perching on his shoulder.
Little Yellow Feather had pilfered and eaten the Thousand Leaf Fruit that the Ink Flame Tiger guarded, so it quickly hid behind Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen turned his body and looked at the Ink Flame Tiger, then sent a voice projection. I will also give you two choices: First, you leave obediently and let us go. Second, stay, and I won't mind giving tiger meat a try.
