999: Chapter 0999: Eagle Strike on Chang’an 999: Chapter 0999: Eagle Strike on Chang’an In this world, the Mount Tai Range was far from Chang’an.
Majestic mountains and rivers, vast lands, this world is about ten times larger than the outside world.
Long Fei and his companions, along with the Ground Rat Demon King and Bald Dog, although capable of sword flight, found it strenuous.
The best solution was still to use mounts.
The newly formed Azure Hawk Brigade of the Yin Yang Sect promptly sent over six azure hawks for them to ride.
Long Fei disliked this funny name; to him, “azure hawk” sounded too much like “housefly” and lacked any sense of awe.
He suggested to the Demon General of the Eagle Tribe, who had just switched allegiance, that they change the name to the Great Eagle Brigade.
“Great Eagle”, sounding extraordinarily impressive.
The Demon General of the Fly Brigade strongly opposed this, arguing that “fly” sounded better than that thing!
However, to give face to Long Fei, the Sect Hierarch, after a friendly negotiation, they finally renamed it the Golden Eagle Brigade.
The Golden-Winged Roc was always a totem of the Eagle Tribe, revered as the strongest bloodline.
This thing became known as the Great Roc.
Rumored to be the uncle of the Western Buddha Ancestor, and the brother of the Peacock Bright King,
Both the peacock and the Great Roc belong to the Phoenix Bloodline, slightly weaker than the Five Phoenix Bloodline.
Long Fei took out the Golden Eagle Bloodline from the genetic repository to win over these members of the Eagle Tribe.
Although this bloodline didn’t belong to the Great Roc, it was, after all, a relic from ancient times and much purer than the bloodline of these Eagle Tribe members.
The Demon Clan willingly submitted, largely because they wanted to improve their racial bloodline.
The mount Long Fei rode was the strongest among the Eagle Tribe.
It had already reached the initial stage of Core Formation, relying on its formidable bloodline, and was on par with the Ground Rat Demon King and Bald Dog.
After the group set off, the seven giant eagles spread their wings side by side, quite a sight to behold in the sky, far more interesting than flying in an airplane.
But the only issue was that the wind at ten thousand meters was too strong, and they had to use Essential Qi to shield their bodies.
Ordinary people sitting on them would fall apart after a bit of blowing.
Lin Shanshan caressed the feathers of the giant eagle beneath her, admiringly shouting, “These feathers are so thick, so smooth!
If they were made into a down jacket, it would definitely be very warm.”
The giant eagle below heard this and was somewhat dissatisfied, squawking twice at the Eagle King beside it.
The Eagle King shook its head at Long Fei in protest.
Having already been humiliated enough by being treated like Demon Servants, how could they tolerate being plucked like chickens?
Long Fei chuckled, “You guys really lack vision; this girl has Phoenix Bloodline in her.
If you seriously curry favor with her, there will be endless opportunities for you in the future.”
“Huh?”
At the Eagle King’s call, it turned back and looked at Lin Shanshan with disbelief.
Lin Shanshan showed her skills by displaying her Phoenix Dharma Laksana.
A seven-colored phoenix burst forth from her body, cried out in the sky like a peacock, and all the members of the Eagle Tribe trembled.
This was a primal terror, like that of a white beast seeing a dragon.
This Purple Phoenix Dharma Laksana was indeed similar to that of a peacock, perhaps even an elder from the direct lineage of peacocks.
Lin Shanshan, pridefully tilting her head, said, “Stunned, aren’t you?
Is it just because I plucked a few of your feathers?
So stingy, like I even care?”
The Demon General of the Eagles squawked loudly, staring at Lin Shanshan with an ingratiating face.
It seemed they wouldn’t mind being plucked or even eaten.
Murong Chong, Ji Wanyu, and Liuu Jiangnan too looked on with astonishment from the side, unable to believe that Lin Shanshan actually possessed the Phoenix Bloodline.
In this world, there are various extraordinary physiques among the geniuses.
However, it was the first time they had encountered the Phoenix Bloodline, generally only Body Cultivators possessed this bloodline.
Lin Shanshan used her spiritual power to send a message to Long Fei, questioning him, “Are you in a hurry to get to Chang’an, is it because of that princess?”
Long Fei smiled, “What are you talking about?
Isn’t it your sister who asked me to protect you?”
Lin Shanshan said, “I don’t believe that, your attitude has changed too much.
Just so you know, don’t cause trouble in this world.
If you dare to have any special intentions, I’ll immediately tell my sister.”
Long Fei coughed dryly and thought to himself that this little sister-in-law couldn’t possibly have the ability to read minds, could she?
How could she guess exactly what he was thinking?
He changed the subject and curiously asked Ji Wanyu, “Princess, how come your sister suddenly thought of getting married?”
Ji Wanyu looked baffled and replied, “I don’t know either!
My sister was perfectly content practicing cultivation at Mount Shu, and then suddenly she decided to get married.
I need to go back and ask our father what he thinks about this.”
Lin Shanshan teased, “I think your senior brother is quite good-looking, no?”
She turned her head towards Murong Chong, “Brother Murong, would you consider joining this martial contest for marriage?”
Murong Chong shook his head, “My generation should prioritize cultivation, why waste time on romantic entanglements.”
Ji Wanyu laughed, “I actually would like to have my senior brother as my brother-in-law, but it seems that’s not going to happen.”
She playfully said to Lin Shanshan, “I think your brother-in-law is quite good-looking, why don’t you let him be my brother-in-law too?”
Lin Shanshan squinted her eyes and said, “Her Royal Highness the Princess, becoming my sister’s secondary husband?”
Ji Wanyu replied, “What’s wrong with that?
We’re all cultivators, why should we be constrained by mundane rituals?
Moreover, our Great Xia Dynasty has always been founded on Daoism, not the Confucianism you see outside.
So when it comes to marrying, there are no such strict customs.”
Lin Shanshan felt like she was going to vomit blood, not expecting her to answer so lightly.
It seemed this brother-in-law might indeed be in danger.
Even Murong Chong, who was usually so honest, joined in teasing Long Fei, “Brother Long, I heard that the reward for this marriage contest is quite substantial, do you have any plans for it?”
Long Fei laughed heartily, “A gentleman loves wealth, and should obtain it in the right way.”
He neither confirmed nor denied, but enigmatically answered and then turned to Liuu Jiangnan, “Brother Liuu, I think you are quite suitable.
With a great family business and significant ties to the Royal Family.”
Liuu Jiangnan repeatedly shook his head, “I can’t do it.
The coming martial contest for marriage will surely attract all sorts of geniuses.
If I participate, I probably won’t even pass the preliminary selection.”
Everyone laughed upon hearing this, noting that this young master still had some self-awareness.
Lin Shanshan looked at Long Fei, thinking that she must keep a close eye on this brother-in-law to prevent him from causing any trouble.
Otherwise, if the household was full of wives, where would her position as the little aunt stand?
Eagles soaring high in the sky, covering thousands of miles a day.
Seven giant eagles crossed the Taihang Mountains; one eagle had eaten a Fourth-grade Pill given by Long Fei and flew even more vigorously.
As they passed over the Yellow River, the river as wide as a sea below caught everyone’s attention.
From a height of ten thousand meters, the width of this river channel was astonishing—some places were even a hundred thousand meters wide.
In the outside world, such a distance could be considered a strait.
Below, a large-scale naval battle caught everyone’s attention.
Two factions were clashing, one side with white flags and the other with black flags.
Ji Wanyu exclaimed, “Whose official families are these?”
Liuu Jiangnan responded, “Right, those are warships, probably on an anti-bandit campaign.”
Long Fei observed, “The Great Xia Dynasty values the virtue of water, which is why their flags and official uniforms are white.”
Below them, the warships indeed displayed white flags; their biggest warship measured three to four hundred meters, astonishingly the size of an aircraft carrier in the outside world.
The opposing side, bearing black flags, had noticeably smaller warships, with the largest being only about a hundred meters.
However, judging by the battle situation, it was the official fleet that was on the defensive, essentially besieged from all sides by the enemy warships.
