Chapter 2756: Licheng’s Divine Eagle
The Green East Sea God flew thousand meters away from Licheng Afterglow Island in the clear blue sky, as if it was its first taste of freedom in forever. It flew swiftly past unknown small islands, remote sea bays, and sea cliffs. The sight of islands, bays, and cliffs soon looked like tiny dots and lines between the land and the sea.
“You’ve finally regained your freedom. I promised you that I would help you break free of them. I finally did it!” Song Feiyao smiled.
She had been protesting against the elders for some time. But there was no progress… until now. Little did they know that Ruan Feiyan and Shu Xiaohua’s cunning scheming had caused Licheng Afterglow Island such a huge trouble.
Song Feiyao had never expected the guy to be so strong. She had underestimated him at the temple back then.
She recalled him with only a small injury when the lightning had struck. He was indeed strong! He had done her a huge favor!
If it had not been for him crushing the Licheng Afterglow Island so completely, she would have had a hard time doing away with the chains on the Green East Sea God because Grandpa Queyi always kept a close eye on it.
Suddenly, the Green East Sea God made a sound, as if it sensed an incoming threat behind it.
Song Feiyao turned her around and saw a winged figure following behind them. That figure flew at a breakneck speed and almost caught up with the Green East Sea God.
‘How did he do that?’ Song Feiyao was puzzled.
There was hardly any creature in this world whose speed was comparable to the Green East Sea God, let alone a mage. Song Feiyao had never expected the man who had overthrown Licheng Afterglow Island to catch up with them.
“Stop at the sea area over there. We’ll see what he’s up to,” Song Feiyao said to the Green East Sea God.
The Green East Sea God dove toward the sea area. It spread its wings as it approached a lone sea rock, then dove at full speed toward it before landing on it gracefully.
Soon, Mo Fan caught up with them. His Black Dragon Wing had a unique layer of dragon shadow that covered the sky of the sea area. The sea creatures were so terrified that they quickly swam away.
“Why are you hunting us down? Can’t you understand? If not for me taking the Green East Sea God away, you couldn’t possibly have won against the Licheng Afterglow Island,” Song Feiyao questioned Mo Fan.
“The reason I came to Licheng City is to look for that,” Mo Fan said solemnly while pointing at the Green East Sea God
“If it’s your target, forget it! It has just regained its freedom, and it won’t be enslaved to anyone anymore!” Song Feiyao said.
“Do you know what that is?” asked Mo Fan.
“It’s the Green East Sea God, Licheng City’s Divine Eagle,” said Song Feiyao.
“Are you aware of what it truly was before Licheng City was even built?” Mo Fan asked again.
Song Feiyao frowned. She did not understand what Mo Fan was trying to tell her. She remained alerted. She stared at Mo Fan with hostility.
Mo Fan sensed that Song Feiyao had a high level of cultivation. To his surprise, her cultivation was even stronger than the eight elders at Licheng Afterglow Island. Besides, she radiated a familiar aura. He realized that she was a mage who often cultivated at the Underground Holy Spring.
If that was the case, Licheng Afterglow Island had indeed brought up an expert with its Underground Holy Spring. When Song Feiyao discovered the Green East Sea God’s truth, as well as her ancestors’ stupidity and greed, she decided to leave them. As a result, the islanders branded her a traitor.
Song Feiyao had betrayed the islanders and broken the lightning chains on the Green East Sea God. Otherwise, the islanders would not have given in easily. She had done Mo Fan a huge favor.
“Hmph! You stole the holy spring essence, and I haven’t settled the account with you. How dare you come after us?! Do you really think I’ll be afraid of you?!” Song Feiyao glared at him.
For a moment, the sea below the rock began to swirl. As Song Feiyao’s imposing aura grew stronger, the sea formed an enormous whirlpool. The whirlpool contained layers of turbulent waves. Even the giant whales would have difficulty swimming out of it once they got sucked into the whirlpool.
“I’m not afraid of you either. The Green East Sea God neither belongs to Licheng Afterglow Island, nor does it belong to you. It is an ancient totem beast. My friends and I are looking for totem beasts…” said Mo Fan.
Mo Fan took out the sketches of the mysterious Sacred Totem Beast’s feather, Moon Moth Phoenix, and Chongming Divine Bird, then rolled them into a shaft before tossing it to Song Feiyao.
Song Feiyao caught it and unrolled them in puzzlement.
“Study carefully and see if the Green East Sea God’s feather pattern under its wing has a missing piece. It is one of the four Sacred Totem Beasts as well as one of the feathered totem beasts. I need its complete feather pattern and incredible totem beast power,” said Mo Fan to Song Feiyao.
“You are laying your eyes on the Green East Sea God’s power!” It was clear that Song Feiyao was sensitive toward everything related to the Green East Sea God.
The Green East Sea God had regained its freedom after a long time. It was no longer chained with the heavy lightning chains. Song Feiyao was its most trusted person.
Song Feiyao showed hostility toward Mo Fan. Likewise, the Green East Sea God stared at Mo Fan with its razor-sharp gaze.
“I hope you won’t be as stubborn as the people at Licheng Afterglow Island. You can come with me to meet other totem beasts to determine if I am speaking the truth. The Ocean Demons are strong and powerful. We are still unaware of many of their abilities. Thousand years ago, the Ocean Godly Horde invaded the eastern coast, and many totem beasts had fallen fighting them. As a result, the surviving totem beasts are fewer than they used to be. Before Licheng Afterglow Island shifted all the blame and enslaved the Green East Sea God, it was a part of the feathered totem beasts. Without the totem beasts protecting Licheng City, our ancestors would have long been killed by the Ocean Godly Horde in the last battle.”
“Totem beasts are independent. They continued generations after generations. When the older totem beasts died, the new generation of totem beasts that received the inheritance were born in this world. If the Green East Sea God died because of bearing the fault of your people, there will be no more Green East Sea God in this world. The hidden clan of Licheng Afterglow Island will have committed a sin they can never wash off!”
“You know nothing about the Green East Sea God,” said Mo Fan. “If you insist on taking it away, I believe we will never find the remaining long-lost totem beasts in this world ever again.”
Totem beasts were connected to one another. Like missing jigsaw puzzles, each totem beast represented one of the pieces.
Even though they found the mysterious totem beast feather at Lan Yang City and had made up a large part of the blank space on the totem beast scroll, they required other totem beasts’ sketches in order to look for clues for the next totem beast.
The sketches they had were still insufficient to deduce other totem beasts. They needed more totem beasts, especially those that were still alive so that they could communicate with other totem beasts to find them out.
