Chapter 1115: Chapter 1115: Entering the Chief Mansion
Ye You took a deep breath, preparing to continue upward. Since his form had already been exposed, he might as well fly straight up in one go.
However, as he lifted his head, his expression suddenly darkened.
Another group of Blood Eagles was flying toward him. Although their numbers weren’t large—only about twenty—they were of a higher rank, primarily Fifth Order, with five or six among them being Sixth Order.
Even though they were fewer in number compared to the Blood Eagles he encountered earlier, their combat power was several tis more formidable.
After a brief mont of thought, Ye You retrieved a large handful of pills from his Portable Space and swallowed them, allowing his injuries to heal rapidly and his magic power to recover swiftly.
He abandoned the idea of using the Invisible Bubble. If he turned invisible and the Blood Eagles failed to detect him, their attention would inevitably shift downward to Qing Xun and the other two.
Qing Xun and the others had just climbed past halfway up the Heaven Ladder. If they faced such powerful Wind Magic attacks, it was almost certain their ascent would end there, making it impossible to reach the Chief Mansion.
Ye You forcefully flapped the magical wings on his back several tis, spinning in circles at his current altitude to draw the Blood Eagles’ attention toward himself. Then, he darted upward at top speed.
The incoming group of Blood Eagles was indeed lured and imdiately shifted their direction, following Ye You upward while emitting sharp cries along the way.
Ye You’s mood grew heavier; were the Blood Eagles sending ssages to their comrades? If another group of Blood Eagles lay ahead, he would find himself trapped between two threats—a dire predicant indeed.
Night had already fallen. Although the Blood Eagles had excellent vision, it still paled in comparison to Ye You’s. From a considerable distance, he had already spotted three Sixth Order Blood Eagles lying in wait ahead—they were the hunters, and he was clearly the prey.
Ye You’s eyes sharpened, and the Invisible Bubble was released, causing his form to vanish silently mid-air.
The Blood Eagles chasing him suddenly beca confused, circling repeatedly around the spot where Ye You had disappeared, unable to understand why their target had suddenly vanished.
The three Blood Eagles lying in ambush received the information from their comrades, descended briefly, and rged with the pursuing group of Blood Eagles before exchanging updated reports.
By this ti, Ye You had already passed the final stretch of altitude under the protection of the Invisible Bubble. Soul-breaking Cliff gradually ca into clearer view.
Clenching his teeth, Ye You powerfully flapped his magical wings, finally reaching Soul-breaking Cliff.
As his feet touched the ground, the tension he held in his heart eased as well.
The arduous effort was ultimately worthwhile; he had succeeded in ascending via the Heaven Ladder and entering the interior of the Chief Mansion.
Ye You moved to the edge of Soul-breaking Cliff, lowering his head to peer downward with hope, willing Qing Xun and the others to ascend quickly.
Though Qing Xun was kindhearted, she could make decisive choices in the face of danger. Realizing they had completely alerted the Blood Eagles, the group decided to abandon stealth and simply summoned their magical wings to fly upward.
Fortunately, they had already slain many Blood Eagles earlier, and the newly arrived group had been lured away by Ye You. Their flight upward was smooth and unimpeded, allowing them to quickly spot the edge of Soul-breaking Cliff.
Just then, a series of angry screeches rang out, one after another, as Six Sixth Order Blood Eagles erged from a cave on the opposite cliff, flapping their wings fiercely to launch an attack on Qing Xun and the other two.
"Azure Dragon Cloud Screen!"
"Rock Fall!"
Qing Xun quickly activated her magic power, conjuring a shimring shield of light in front of the three of them, while Yun Wang and Yun Cheng unleashed attack skills against the Blood Eagles—this was their prearranged tactic.
However, the combined offensive power of the six Sixth Order Blood Eagles was overwhelming; Qing Xun alone could not withstand it. Howling gusts carrying destructive force swept in, instantly shattering the Azure Dragon Cloud Screen she had ford.
Yun Wang and Yun Cheng’s magic skills produced countless hard stones that struck the Blood Eagles, montarily pausing their movents and slightly slowing the gusts’ speed.
"Go!" Seeing the unfavorable situation, Qing Xun grabbed Yun Wang with one hand and Yun Cheng with the other, darting toward the opposite side as fast as she could.
As Level Five Magic Spirits, Yun Wang and Yun Cheng’s summoned falling stones inflicted minimal damage on the Sixth Order Blood Eagles, who quickly overca the Rock Fall attack and continued flapping their wings to release Wind Spirit Power toward them.
The rapidly rotating tornado carried a force powerful enough to tear apart the physical bodies of even Yun Wang and Yun Cheng, leaving Qing Xun gravely injured even if she managed to survive.
The tornado drew closer and closer, seemingly seconds away from engulfing them. Suddenly, a flash of purple light streaked through, and Qing Xun and the others vanished from the range of the tornado’s attack.
The Blood Eagles quickly noticed their targets missing, halting their assault and scanning the area. Only then did they spot the trio standing on the opposite side of Soul-breaking Cliff.
"Are you all okay?" It was Ye You’s voice, though only his voice could be heard—it was impossible to see him.
Qing Xun and the others were very familiar with Ye You and knew he had used the Invisible Bubble. Unperturbed, they each expressed gratitude toward him.
At a crucial mont, Ye You had used the Lightning Avoidance Thunder Attribute Magic skill to pull Qing Xun and her companions out of the path of the tornado’s attack. No matter how fast the wind might be, it could never outpace lightning.
The Blood Eagles had now located their targets and flew toward them in a rage.
Ye You thought briefly, then said, "I have an idea."
He quickly explained his plan to Qing Xun and the others. They all agreed it was feasible and imdiately began their actions.
Qing Xun, Yun Wang, and Yun Cheng ran off in different directions. The pursuing Blood Eagles hesitated montarily at their point of separation before splitting into three groups: three Blood Eagles chased Qing Xun, the two strongest in magic power; while two each pursued Yun Wang and Yun Cheng.
According to their contract with the Changkong family, the Blood Eagles were forbidden from entering the internal territory of the Chief Mansion. However, after losing over half of their comrades—almost all of the lower-order Blood Eagles had died—the sheer rage drove them to disregard the contract entirely, determined to exterminate these intruders at all costs.
As Yun Wang approached a nearby building, he intentionally slowed his pace, waiting for the Blood Eagles. As the Blood Eagles neared and began flapping their wings, Yun Wang dove underground and quickly darted away from the area.
The Wind Spirit Power released by the Blood Eagles struck the building instead. The structure, an unsecured residence for the lowest-ranked guards near Soul-breaking Cliff, crumbled instantly under the raging winds, resulting in screams and cries of alarm within.
Yun Wang re-erged not far away, drawing the Blood Eagles toward other places.
Hidden within the Invisible Bubble, Ye You swiftly left Soul-breaking Cliff amidst the chaos caused by the Blood Eagles, taking the opportunity to begin searching for Qin Sisi.
