As dawn approached, a small village lay a dozen miles away from Silver Stone Town.
An old man dressed in a cyan Mysterious Bird robe sat cross-legged in front of the deserted village entrance.
In the distant sky, a black dot appeared, moving towards the old man; it was a small black bird.
This old man was none other than Mo Ronghua, the Mysterious Envoy of the Mirror Platform Prefecture!
As the black Mysterious Bird landed on his shoulder, the old man slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.
The old man spoke as if no one else was around, seemingly questioning the black bird perched on his shoulder.
This black bird was the Black Mysterious Bird, an exclusive possession of the Mysterious Envoys of the Mysterious Bird Guard.
Mo Ronghua had been using it to locate the two great demons these past few days.
"Have you found the location of those two great demons?"
But to Mo Ronghua's disappointment, the Black Mysterious Bird on his shoulder shook its head in a human-like manner, indicating it hadn't found them.
The reason Mo Ronghua had come to this small village was because the Black Mysterious Bird had led him here.
During the Mirror Platform Prefecture's pursuit of the two fox demons, Mo Ronghua had already had the Black Mysterious Bird memorize their aura.
This was to prevent losing track of the two great demons.
"Gone missing?"
"Those two damned beasts, they've escaped!"
"Go bring back those Yellow Envoys; I'll go to the nearby town first."
"Those two great demons enjoy eating human martial artists; they will definitely appear where there's a large gathering of martial artists."
As soon as Mo Ronghua finished speaking, the Black Mysterious Bird understood his meaning, instantly taking flight and quickly disappearing into the horizon.
Shortly after the Black Mysterious Bird left, Mo Ronghua took out a yellowed map from his bosom and unfolded it for a closer look.
He had obtained this map from the chief constable when passing through Fenglin County.
As for why he got it from the chief constable, it was because almost all the county officials there were dead.
"There seems to be a town nearby."
"Silver Stone Town?"
After seeing a large town marked on the map, Mo Ronghua quickly put the map away.
"Alas!"
"That old fellow Li Chengfeng will surely come running when he hears about this."
"I only hope that these two great demons are killed by this old man before Li Chengfeng arrives."
"Otherwise…."
Because this incident was the dereliction of duty of their Mirror Platform Prefecture's Mysterious Bird Guard.
Letting those two great demons escape from the Mirror Platform Prefecture to the White Path Prefecture, causing widespread devastation and severe losses to Fenglin County.
The only way to remedy the situation now is to kill these two great demons in time.
By then, not only will they obtain the exquisite flesh of the two great demons, but they will also receive the reward for the Calamity-level mission.
The reward for killing these two great demons is an astonishing two portions of mid-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects.
Therefore, Mo Ronghua had been tirelessly chasing them all the way from the Mirror Platform Prefecture to the White Path Prefecture.
However, he doesn't have much time left.
That old fellow Li Chengfeng is about to arrive here.
If Li Chengfeng arrives here, then the credit for finally killing these two great demons will be hard to say.
After all, he is at fault for letting those two great demons run to the White Path Prefecture and wreak havoc in Fenglin County.
And the Mysterious Bird Guard of the Mirror Platform Prefecture must bear the brunt of this heavy consequence.
Silver Stone Town!
The streets inside the town were as silent as death, completely deserted.
Because the surviving townspeople had all hidden in their homes, afraid to come out.
They feared that the two monsters from last night were still in town, madly eating people.
At this moment, Lu Xuan had already arrived in Silver Stone Town and had requisitioned a large inn in the town.
The tables and chairs in the inn's lobby had been moved to the corners by Zhao Sheng, leaving a large open space.
In the open space were placed the two enormous demon beast corpses!
"Zhao Sheng, Yao Feng, you two go out first."
"Remember, no one is allowed to come in without my order."
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng immediately responded.
"Yes, Mysterious Envoy!"
Then, without any hesitation, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the inn.
Just as Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng reached the entrance,
a massive object, carrying a tremendous sound of rushing wind, flew towards them.
Upon noticing it, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng simultaneously turned around, extended their hands, and caught the massive object.
This was a huge demon beast head.
"Take this demon head and go appease the townspeople, then you two can handle the rest yourselves."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the inn's doors seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and then closed shut.
"Yes, we thank the Mysterious Envoy for his grace!"
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, surprise flashed across Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng's faces, followed by an expression of disbelief.
After exchanging a glance, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng knelt down on one knee towards the inn's doors without another word.
This was to show their respect for Lu Xuan.
Because this was the flesh and blood of a great demon!
Zhao Sheng looked at the demon beast head in his hands, feeling as if he were dreaming!
Yao Feng, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhao Sheng, seemingly with something difficult to say.
However, Yao Feng didn't hesitate for long and still spoke his mind.
"Old Zhao, I also have two disciples in Silver Stone Town."
"If you don't mind, I wonder if they could also taste the flesh and blood of this demon beast."
"As you know, the martial arts competition for those below the Human-level Mysterious Bird Guard is about to begin in half a month."
"If they can refine even a trace of this great demon's flesh and blood, that would be a great opportunity for them!"
"Even contending for first place would no longer be a delusion."
For the sake of his two disciples' future, Yao Feng could only shamelessly ask for Zhao Sheng's opinion.
"Hey, Old Yao, what are you saying!"
"This was originally supposed to be yours; I'm the one taking advantage of you."
"If this great demon's flesh and blood weren't so precious, I wouldn't even want to take advantage of you."
"How about this, I'll only take a quarter, and the remaining three-quarters are all yours."
Zhao Sheng said magnanimously, without the slightest hesitation.
He felt like he had won the lottery getting this great demon's flesh and blood.
Yao Feng had risked his life all night, but he got nothing, and Zhao Sheng got the great demon's flesh and blood just like that.
If this great demon's flesh and blood weren't of great help to him, he wouldn't even want it and would give it all to Yao Feng.
Zhao Sheng's words made Yao Feng's face change, and he quickly declined, "Old Zhao, you're taking too much of a loss, no, I…."
"Alright, Old Yao, stop talking, it's decided."
"Let's complete the task assigned by the Mysterious Envoy first."
Zhao Sheng didn't give Yao Feng a chance to continue speaking and walked towards the street alone, carrying the demon beast's head.
Seeing this, Yao Feng could only sigh helplessly and follow Zhao Sheng's direction.
