Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 858 - 108: Vicious and Poisonous

"Captain, you really plan to go negotiate alone? Why don’t you take me with you, if anything goes wrong, I can shield you," Compass patted his chest, with an air of heroic sacrifice.

"The other party is very cunning, they’ve already left a mount for reception, if the agreement is broken, it might be unfavorable for Shalman," after receiving the message about Shalman, the members of the July Team all breathed a sigh of relief, and Compass eagerly volunteered to accompany Yue Jinghua.

When they hurried back to the stone house, they saw a Green Horned Bat with a fierce face fold its wings and stand outside.

Upon seeing the Green Horned Bat, Yue Jinghua understood why she hadn’t found a trace of Shalman.

Green Horned Bats emit a special magnetic wave that disrupts the sight and hearing of enemies or Demon Beasts. They are skilled at evading the pursuit of various flying Dark Beasts, even making it difficult for something as small as the Giant Winged Mosquito King to track them.

The other party was very cautious, not leaving any clues about their identity.

Yue Jinghua jumped onto the back of the Green Horned Bat and, under the watchful eyes of the team members, swiftly ascended into the sky riding the Green Bat.

Yue Jinghua observed the entire body of the Green Bat and found no mark, yet the Green Bat flew steadily and swiftly, as if someone was controlling it.

Without a Beastmaster controlling it, to manage a flying Demon Beast so precisely, there is only one possible identity for the other party.

Yue Jinghua paused for a moment, then integrated the first trace of her spiritual power into the Green Bat.

Indeed, there was a fragment of spirit starlight near the bat’s head.

"This is spirit starlight, the other party must be at least a Silver Rank Demon Summoner to use this starlight. He must have contracted with the Green Horned Bat King and left this starlight in every Green Bat’s mind through the Bat King," Qing Pu reminded.

"A Silver Rank Demon Summoner, could it be Fa Xiaoyi?" Despite Fa Xiaoyi having ordered the Martial Arts Team members to remove their Merit Rings when transmitting messages, the number of summoners or demon summoners on the continent capable of summoning is limited, making it easy for Yue Jinghua to suspect Fa Xiaoyi.

However, what left Yue Jinghua surprised was that Qing Pu did not immediately agree with her conclusion.

"Not necessarily, within the Divine Ruins, there might be others with summoning abilities or even Demon Beasts," Qing Pu’s voice carried a hint of unease, contrasting sharply with his usual aloofness.

The power of spirit starlight is much weaker than the formal contract starlight array, and considering Yue Jinghua’s demon summoning ability has also reached the level of Bronze Summoner, she easily removed the trace of starlight from the Green Bat’s mind, automatically gaining control over the bat.

After leaving a trace of her spiritual power within the Green Bat, Yue Jinghua quickly extracted some information from its mind about the recent movements of the Green Horned Bat King and Fa Xiaoyi’s Martial Arts Team.

Fa Xiaoyi had improved much compared to before, and must be cautiously guarded against his manipulation of other Demon Beasts within the Divine Ruins.

Yue Jinghua thought to herself, in the upcoming negotiation with Fa Xiaoyi, she must remain vigilant.

The Green Bat had already flown over most of Sky Witch Village, with a moment to spare, Yue Jinghua took out a plaque obtained from Sky Witch Feeding.

She wiped the dust off the plaque, sighed softly: "Qing Pu, I remember when we first met, you said you were one of the Primordial Thirteen Witches. The words on this plaque were left by you, weren’t they?"

"You remember what I told you?" Qing Pu stood beside Yue Jinghua.

On the flying Green Bat, one stood, one sat, clouds brushed by them, yet it felt like a different world.

"I remember every word you said, after all, you, Qing Pu, were the first person I met in this world, you made me a Summoner. You and I, like lips and teeth, inseparable. To be honest, I’ve had the Gold Eater Worm monitor your every move. At Four Symbols City, you often stood in front of the Heavenly Witch Tablet deep in thought, when entering Sky Witch Feeding, upon discovering this plaque, your emotions were greatly stirred, so much that even the beasts in the Star Sea noticed," Yue Jinghua and Qing Pu’s relationship was indeed special, like mentor and apprentice, yet also...

In short, describing it in one sentence is not enough.

"Indeed, I am the selected thirteenth Sky Witch. The other twelve talented Sky Witches are my masters, the Sky Witch Ancient Village is my birthplace, had it not been for entering the Divine Ruins this time, I would have forgotten I was once a Sky Witch," Qing Pu smiled coldly.

This was, in Yue Jinghua’s memory, the first time she saw Qing Pu’s smile.

On Qing Pu’s handsome face was a smile, his golden eyes like two small flames dancing intensely, yet the smile held no warmth, even the high-altitude wind seemed to suddenly freeze.

"Qing Pu, since you didn’t die, why did City Lord Changsun at Four Symbols City say all thirteen Sky Witches perished, and is the missing Heavenly Witch Pill related to you?" Qing Pu’s power recovered quickly, he can now leave the Star Sea and move freely, even Yue Jinghua finds it difficult to restrain him.

However, the Heavenly Witch Pill’s disappearance in Four Symbols City happened long ago, back then Qing Pu was merely a trace of weak spiritual power lodged in Yue Jinghua’s Dantian.

"Because..." Qing Pu was about to respond when the Green Bat beneath Yue Jinghua flew towards a low cave, nearing Qingfu Cave.

Yue Jinghua had to stop probing, preparing for the negotiation with Fa Xiaoyi.

Inside Qingfu Cave, Fa Xiaoyi’s face darkened, looking at the empty cave.

After hearing the news that Yue Jinghua would come for the negotiation as promised, Fa Xiaoyi ordered Shalman to be brought out.

But the team member sent for the person informed him that the Female Beast Tamer from the Four Unlikes Team was missing.

Qingfu Cave was heavily guarded, besides members of the Martial Arts Team, there were many Green Bats guarding, with her skills restrained, Shalman could hardly escape, and certainly not without a trace.

"Where is she?" Fa Xiaoyi summoned Lie Sisi, aware of the grudge between Lie Sisi, Shalman, and Yue Jinghua, he didn’t expect her to act so boldly, daring to hide it from him.

"Sent to Zhuqiu. Xiaoyi, you shouldn’t cooperate with that woman Yue Jinghua. Have you forgotten who almost ruined you? Yue Jinghua is despicable and shameless, very cunning," Lie Sisi stated passionately.

"Impudent," Fa Xiaoyi grew furious, killing intent rising, he had no need for subordinates who disobeyed commands.

The Ninth Rank Peak Green Horned Bat King nearby revealed its sharp teeth, wings flapping, darting towards Lie Sisi.

The Bat King’s teeth were incredibly sharp, Lie Sisi had seen it swallow a member of the Alien Clan Team whole.

"No, you can’t kill me, Liao, I’m Zhen Ni!" In a moment of desperation, Lie Sisi blurted out.
