Chapter 147: The Opportunity of the Cloud-winged Bird
After Qin Xiu came out from the ground, he did not go deep into the woods as the stranger thought.

Instead, he walked to the center of the open space, then clasped his hands together and cast a spell. A beam of white light flew from his hands to the open space in front of him.

Suddenly, a corpse appeared where there was nothing!
Seeing this, Qin Xiu couldn't help but laugh first.

As he touched the body, he whispered to himself,
"Hahaha, Meng Yang, Meng Yang, you asked for this."

"I have called you my fellow Taoist for so many years, but you are reluctant to pass on the talisman book to me and force me to get it myself."

"If I hadn't asked my good sister-in-law to secretly sew this tracking charm into your clothes, I really wouldn't dare to come back to look for your corpse!"

"Found it, it's right here! Hahaha..."

Qin Xiu took out a storage bag from the corpse, took out a book or something from it, and then laughed happily.

It turns out that Qin Xiu said before that Meng Yang’s body was not found in order to obtain his storage bag!
Judging from his deliberate planning, Meng Yang might have been framed to death by this guy.

This series of plots was truly insidious, and once again made Mo Juren feel the intrigues and deceit among the monks.

When Mo Juren was watching with great interest, Qin Xiu suddenly turned around and looked at the woods behind him, and said gloomily,
"Who is there to watch the fun? Isn't it time for you to show up?"

Mo Juren was unmoved, because he saw that after Qin Xiu said this, his eyes kept wandering, which showed that his deception skills were too low.

After seeing that he couldn't trick anyone, Qin Xiu turned around and wanted to leave, but Mo Juren wouldn't let him leave smoothly.

Not to mention what treasure it was for, the mere fact that she seduced someone else's wife and conspired to kill her own husband forced Mo Juren to take action to help the world of immortal cultivation eliminate this scum.

And now in this iron-toothed bird forest, it is too easy to deal with him.

While Qin Xiu was taking out the earth-type talisman again and preparing to leave underground, Mo Juren called on the Cloud-Winged Bird to attract a large number of Iron-Tooth Birds.

Qin Xiu was hiding underground and had no idea what was happening on the ground. Mo Juren suddenly fired a fire bomb at the slowly moving small mound of earth, blasting Qin Xiu out.

As soon as Qin Xiu came out, he suddenly discovered that there were hundreds of iron-toothed birds on the ground, which scared him to death.

He did not have the powerful body training skills like Mo Juren. Even though his cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, he was soon unable to cope with the continuous attacks of the Iron-toothed Bird.

He put away his magic weapon and threw out all the talismans on his body with all his might, like a huge firework exploding.

But unfortunately, this talisman was no match for the large number of iron-toothed birds, and he was soon torn into pieces.

Mo Juren appeared from the shadows, picked out two storage bags from the corpse with an expressionless face, and then cast a fire bomb spell, burning all the bloody traces on the ground into ashes.

Both of these were mid-level fifty-fold storage bags. Mo Juren casually used his magic power to check them out and discovered that both Qin and Meng were cultivators who were good at drawing talismans.

Their storage bags contained a lot of talisman-making materials and a dozen or so primary talismans, and even two of the earth-escape talismans that Qin Xiu had used, which could allow one to walk underground!
Apart from the shortcoming that it can be clearly seen from the ground, this earth escape talisman is still quite useful. Mo Juren put it into his bag without hesitation.

In addition, there are hundreds of spirit stones, including the income from hunting beasts that Qin Xiu got from Wang Zhuo.

Qin Xiu deliberately killed his companions probably because of a book called "The Way of Shuo and Wang Fu" in his storage bag.

This book records in detail dozens of methods for making talismans, which seem to be of great value. However, Mo Juren was not interested in making talismans, so he put these things aside.

After this little episode, Mo Juren called the Cloud-winged Bird and returned to the middle of the woods to continue searching for the inexplicable aura.

The cloud-winged bird's attitude towards that breath was very strange. It seemed like it was expecting something and also afraid of something. It kept hiding on Mo Juren's back and was very sensitive.

But with its constant guidance, Mo Juren soon approached the source of the aura safely.

In the middle of the woods, there was a dark, fluid, sticky substance floating on a stone platform.

This mass of black fluid kept surging, surging, falling, and flattening, back and forth, like a dough being kneaded by a transparent man.

Although Mo Juren did not have as strong a feeling as the Cloud-winged Bird, he intuitively sensed that this pile of black fluid was the source of the inexplicable aura.

This thing was too mysterious, beyond Mo Juren's understanding. It was hard to tell whether it was a blessing or a curse, so he was very cautious and didn't dare to approach it easily.

Mo Juren held the trembling cloud-winged bird in his hands and said softly,

"I've brought you to the place. What do you want to do next? This thing seems a bit too dangerous."

The cloud-winged bird stretched its wings with difficulty, but chirped twice, and it seemed that it had no intention of retreating.

So Mo Juren let it go, and watched it struggle for a while before finally making up its mind and flying towards the black fluid.

Mo Juren, on the other hand, was very unrighteous and immediately stepped back, watching the situation develop from a distance.

The cloud-winged bird flew around the stone platform several times, and when the opponent was not prepared, it dived into the sticky substance.

Soon the Cloud-Winged Bird was wrapped in a black coat. It was immersed in it, constantly pulling, bouncing, flapping, and shaking, not knowing what it was going through.

Then, a gorgeous spirit of a bird emerged. It had a slender and graceful body and emitted a faint blue light.

It has broad wings, a slender beak, yellow eyes, gorgeous feathers, especially the long row of feathers on the tail, which is very eye-catching.

"Qingluan?" Mo Juren asked in surprise.

The image of this spirit is so much like the blue luan divine bird in the painting. This spiritual beast is a variant of the legendary phoenix, the king of birds!

The cloud-winged bird wrapped in black fluid suddenly emitted a bolt of lightning, which directly shattered the spirit, and all the scattered dust and light were absorbed by it.

Afterwards, the black substance began to become smaller, as if it was being absorbed by the Cloud-Winged Bird.

The black substance slowly changed and shrank, and the figure of the Cloud-Winged Bird slowly emerged, until not a drop was left, leaving only the Cloud-Winged Bird lying on the stone platform.

Mo Juren saw that there was no movement for a long time, so he went to check, but he found that this guy had actually fallen asleep...
