Chapter 83: Knocked On Their Door
“Alright, let’s keep a low profile and not attract attention.” Yu Sisi jumped down from Kong Li’s back. As she tidied up her hair that had been messed up by the wind, she reminded Kong Li.
“Keep a low profile? My beauty is destined to be the center of attention wherever I go. How can I keep a low profile?” Kong Li transformed into his human form and flicked the hair on his shoulder behind his back as he said narcissistically.
Yu Sisi took a deep breath and warned herself not to get mad because she had to rely on Kong Li this time. Stay calm, stay calm.
“It’s okay. We just need to not be too ostentatious. Restrain your aura and let’s enter the city.”
Yu Sisi tidied herself up and took the lead to walk towards the Thunder City gates.
Other than Kong Li’s expression of “I’m very n.o.ble, you mortals should stay away from me”, which caused a slight commotion, the others were all very low-key.
Yu Sisi didn’t even know how many people she had explained to. “He didn’t want to provoke you. That’s just how his face looks like.” In the end, she was really numb to it. When she met someone who looked at her with an angry and strange expression, she would just say, “There’s something wrong with his brain.”
The other party would show a look of understanding and walk away in disgust. Kong Li was very angry at this, “How can you say such things about me, you stupid mortal!”
“I don’t want to be beaten up by a group of people yet. Please calm down.” Yu Sisi was really dispirited. This grandpa was too energetic. He talked non-stop from morning till night, and even after flying all the way, he was still so lively that it made people want to hit him.
“You want to hit me.” Kong Li suddenly looked at Yu Sisi and said with certainty. Yu Sisi was shocked. She had always thought that Kong Li did not know how to read people’s expressions, but Kong Li immediately added, “Every time Jiang Yun wants to hit me, he always had this expression of yours.”
Yu Sisi, “… Master, you must have endured a lot of these nonsenses.”
“Sigh, let’s go. Let’s go find an inn. Tonight, we’ll go to the He family’s residence to find Xiong Ji.” Yu Sisi said tiredly. It was already late at night, and the night market was about to open. The two of them discussed at a place where the lights were dim.
However, after traveling for a whole day, Yu Sisi was indeed tired. She planned to take a short break before sneaking into the He family’s residence to find out Xiong Ji’s location. Perhaps Xiong Ji had not even been escorted here yet.
“Why do we need to find an inn? Can’t we just go straight to the He family’s residence?”
Kong Li was a little puzzled. In his opinion, there was not a single person in this city who could fight against him. He wanted to go straight to the He family and bring Xiong Ji out. Then, he would fly back overnight to hand in his mission and then go off to live a carefree life.
Yu Sisi was shocked by Kong Li’s arrogance. However, after thinking about it, her master’s arrangements would never go wrong. “He asked me to bring Kong Li along. Then Kong Li’s strength should be above that of the He family.”
Since that was the case, it seemed that they could indeed barge into the He family directly and ask them to hand over Xiong Ji, so as to prevent Xiong Ji from being abused in there.
Yu Sisi asked worriedly, “Are you sure that you can defeat all the people from the He family?”
“Who do you think I am? They’re just a bunch of trash below the Spirit Origin Realm. I can send them flying with a single wing.” Kong Li said very arrogantly.
Yu Sisi had seen Jiang Yun beat people to the ground and hammer them. Sometimes, she really felt that those people were not that good. In any case, they could not beat Jiang Yun. However, among the people who could not beat Jiang Yun, Kong Li was indeed the one who was the best at fighting.
“Then let’s go now.” Yu Sisi quickly made up her mind and set off immediately. The sooner they left, the sooner they would return.
“Alright, come up then. You can show me the way.”
Kong Li returned to his original form. He already used to Yu Sisi riding him and did not mind it anymore. Yu Sisi did not put up a pretense. She directly sat on it and pointed in a direction.
The giant bird, which was shining with spiritual light, took off in the darkness. It flew past the bustling market unceremoniously, causing a huge commotion.
“Ah! What a big bird. It even shines. It’s so beautiful. Is it some kind of performance?”
“Hey, there’s a person sitting on it. Which family is it from?”
“Oh! This bird is real. I saw its eyes moving! What kind of bird is this? Why haven’t I seen it before?”
“It’s a magical beast, right? Maybe the He family caught it. Aren’t they going to marry that Qin Island? Maybe this big bird is used to coax that Qin family’s young miss.”
It was chaotic down there. When they saw the man and the bird flying directly in the direction of the He family, they immediately thought of the marriage between the He family and the Qin family.
The two ignored them and focused on rescuing Xiong Ji. Originally, He Zhao had to walk for a day to reach He family’s residence, but Kong Li arrived in fifteen minutes.
The two stopped in the air outside the He family’s main residence.
“There’s a barrier here. Can it be broken?”
Yu Sisi felt a strong energy enveloping the He family’s main residence. Not only could she not break it with her power, but she might also even be injured.
“It’s just a mere protective array formation. Watch me!” Kong Li said as he kept flapping his wings and began to acc.u.mulate energy. He raised his head and wantonly absorbed the spiritual energy in this area, forming a spiritual energy vortex.
Such an obvious and ma.s.sive phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of the He family. Someone immediately went out to check. Yu Sisi was on Kong Li’s back and was at the center of the vortex. She could not be seen clearly, only a vague outline.
He immediately sent messages to He Cangming and the other elders.
“What?” He Cangming had not even put down his teacup when he heard a servant report that a giant bird was carrying a person. It looked like it was going to break their barrier.
He Cangming immediately stood up and went into the courtyard. He flew to the roof and indeed saw the giant bird that the servant had mentioned. From its appearance, it looked very similar to the legendary peac.o.c.k. However, wasn’t the peac.o.c.k in the southeast of the continent? Why would it appear here?
“I don’t know why you want to attack He family. We don’t think that we have anything to do with the peac.o.c.k clan.” He Cangming sensed that Kong Li’s strength might not be inferior to his. He insisted that it was difficult to determine the outcome of the battle, so he asked.
However, Kong Li did not want to pay attention to him. He focused on gathering his spiritual power. However, Yu Sisi, who was on his back, could not help but retort, “We can fight if we want to. Do you really need to pick a day to fight?”
“It’s you! Yu Sisi!” He Cangming immediately recognized Yu Sisi’s voice and his heart sank. Knowing that this battle was inevitable, he threatened her directly, “We have the black bear spirit. If you dare to destroy a single plant of the He family today, you will never see him again.”
However, the truth was that they had just rushed back from the foot of the Mount G.o.d of Heaven. Not even fifteen minutes after they sat down, that Xiong Ji was already locked up on the third floor of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. They didn’t even have the time to interrogate him
“Boom –“
Kong Li finished acc.u.mulating his energy. A large mouthful of heavenly flame wrapped with spiritual energy rushed towards the He family’s protective array formation like a huge dragon. When it collided, a deafening sound came out.
He Cangming did not have the time to relax when he saw that the ball of burning blue flame did not disappear after this attack. Instead, it circled around the He family’s protective array formation like a living creature. Like a poisonous snake, it sized up the mouse that was pretending to be dead, intending to give it another fatal blow.
He Cangming frowned. He could feel that the protective array was in imminent danger. It could not take another attack like that.
“Do you have to be so aggressive? Do you have to fight to the death?” He Cangming did not give up and asked. At this moment, all the elders of the He family had received the report and gathered behind He Cangming. They stared at Kong Li and Yu Sisi solemnly.
