After tearing a path through the resistance of the two upper division disciples, the silver light charged towards Shang Xia.
A familiar qi entered his senses, but without any time to think about it, Shang Xia circulated all the inner qi in his body and sent a devastating strike towards the threat.
“What are you doing?! Dodge!” A yell came from the side, but Shang Xia didn’t react. It was too late to dodge anyway.
He didn’t even have time to think about the person who warned him.
A reddish gold lightning bolt emerged from Shang Xia’s hand and crashed straight into the silver streak.
A terrifying explosion enveloped the land and three different colored sparks flew across the lands.
The carriage Shang Xia was in was torn apart instantly, and copious amounts of supplies were thrown onto the ground.
As the lightning that filled the sky slowly dissipated, Shang Xia felt his arms going numb. Luckily, he suffered no other injuries.
“Chirp, chirp!”
When the convoy was thrown into chaos by the silver light, two different warbles rang through the skies.
Was the objective of the silver light the Mutated Rain Swallow?
A strange feeling formed in Shang Xia’s heart. However, he couldn’t do a thing about it as he turned to face the enemy.
Like Shang Xia, the silver light didn’t suffer much injuries. Making a beautiful arc in the air, it turned towards the bird cage at the side of the carriage.
Indeed… It was there for the Mutated Rain Swallow!
“That’s a Lightning Bird! All of you, leave!” A roar resounded through the air and the next thing Shang Xia knew, Yuan Zilu was flying through the air.
Lightning Bird!
Shang Xia’s thoughts spun, and he thought about the Lightning Bird Feather that was imperative to his advancement.
That explained the familiar feeling he felt when facing the creature!
Rage filled Yuan Zilu’s heart as he rushed over. As an expert in the Martial Intent Realm, he allowed a mere bird to wreak havoc in the convoy!
That was utter humiliation!
Releasing his aura completely, the heaven and earth qi around started to boil.
Shang Xia could feel Yuan Zilu’s anger by the intensity of heaven and earth qi that gathered around him.
That was what an expert in the Martial Intent Realm was!
At their level, their martial intent was enough to influence the world around them!
Reaching out with one hand, a giant palm formed in the skies above. It was tens of feet tall, and it crashed down towards the silver light.
Right before the Lightning Bird could save the Mutated Rain Swallow from its cage, Yuan Zilu’s palm arrived. With an unwilling cry, the silver light around it shattered. A feather that was close to half an inch long fell from the skies.
As soon as the silver light around the bird scattered, everyone saw its true appearance.
It looked much sturdier than the Mutated Rain Swallow Shang Xia caught!
Flashes of lightning surrounded it when it traveled, and it eventually turned into a silver streak that shot through the skies.
It was no wonder people would draw a connection between Lightning Birds and Mutated Rain Swallows.
Due to Yuan Zilu’s interference, the Lightning Bird was unable to maintain its protective layer of silver lightning. Now that its appearance was revealed, something clicked in the minds of those present.
Could the Lightning Bird be born from a second mutation of the Rain Swallows?
Feeling the dangerous aura coming from Yuan Zilu, the Lightning Bird no longer thought of rescuing the mutated Rain Swallow. It started to make its escape.
“Chirp, chirp!”
An unwilling cry came from the Mutated Rain Swallow in the cage. Its dreams of freedom were dashed with the appearance of an expert in the Martial Intent Realm.
When everyone was still stuck in a state of shock, one person managed to react. It wasn’t Tian Mengzi or Jin Guanchao, nor was it Instructor Yuan who barely vented his anger. Instead, Shang Xia, a cultivator at the Martial Realm, activated his martial intent and he rushed in the direction of the Lightning Bird.
Faint traces of lightning gathered around Shang Xia and when they gathered around his feet, his speed reached a whole new level.
Even so, the distance between him and the Lightning Bird didn’t decrease. The bird flew further and further away from him.
Decisively circulating all his inner qi, a ball of lightning formed in his hands as he sent it flying towards the Lightning Bird in the distance.
The moment it left his hands, Shang Xia knew that it wouldn’t be able to damage the creature in the slightest.
As an explosion rang through the skies, a ray of reddish gold lightning bolt tore into the silver light in the distance.
A wail left the Lightning Bird’s lips and it twisted around in mid air. However, that was all Shang Xia could do before it escaped. As its speed increased once again, it disappeared into the horizon.
In mid air, a delicate feather slowly drifted into Shang Xia’s palm.
Holding it in his hand, he felt a faint current running through the feather and he sighed, “It’s too damn fast…”
“If Junior Brother Shang is able to learn a movement art in the future, you will definitely be able to catch up to the Lightning Bird once you activate the second form of your martial intent.” Tian Mengzi appeared beside Shang Xia without him noticing, and he looked in the direction where the bird escaped.
Shaking his head slightly, Shang Xia didn’t reply.
With the speed of the Lightning Bird, Shang Xia knew that he wouldn’t be able to catch up even if he learned the best movement art in the institution.
Regardless, Tian Mengzi’s words made Shang Xia remember that training a movement art was extremely important in his path of cultivation.
“Chirp, chirp…”
A pitiful cry came from the cage and the Mutated Rain Swallow sounded like an abandoned toy.
When Shang Xia and Tian Mengzi turned to look at the cage, they saw Yuan Zilu picking it up from the floor carefully.
A complicated gaze could be seen in Yuan Zilu’s eyes and he spoke to Shang Xia, “Looks like you stole another person’s spouse…”
He didn’t forget to shake the cage slightly after speaking.

This…
Dark lines appeared on Shang Xia’s face after hearing what he said.
“What are you guys waiting for? Pack everything up. We’re leaving…” Yuan Zilu no longer bothered with Shang Xia and he yelled at the other disciples.
With two Embroidered Cloud Carriages broken, there was much to pack even after discarding the supplies that could no longer be used.
Luckily for them, they emptied an entire carriage at the sentry post.
After packing up everything that could be used, they managed to fill up the empty carriage.
Yuan Zilu’s expression was dark when he saw the number of high-level herbs and treasures that were blown to bits by the Lightning Bird.
Ever since the Tongyou Peak was captured, the institution sent out countless experts to clear the path between the institution and the Tongyou Peak. Everything was to ensure the safe passage of the resupply convoys that would travel to and fro.
As the Tongyou Institution increased in strength, the path to the Tongyou Peak became extremely safe. Other than several times when they ran into freak accidents, there had been no incidents where supplies were lost. The only trouble they would run into were the undead corpses that roamed the lands. However, those corpses would be easily defeated by the disciples of the Tongyou institution.
Yuan Zilu would definitely take the blame for their missing supplies this time. Cursing his luck for running into the Lightning Bird, Yuan Zilu eventually sighed, “Luckily, it wasn’t all bad…”
He looked at the Lightning Bird Feather in his hand and thought about it for a second before shaking his head in defeat. “... But this isn’t enough…”
He looked at the cage that hung on one of the carriages at the back of the convoy.
“Actually, the value of the Mutated Rain Swallow should be more than enough to make up for the losses we suffered. With this Lightning Bird Feather… No! The brat has another one!”
Yuan Zilu turned to look at Shang Xia and a bitter smile formed on his face. “We couldn’t have obtained so many treasures without this kid… Looks like the Contribution Division will be taking note of him when we arrive…”
Yuan Zilu’s expression sank even further when he thought about it.
When he was still sulking, Tian Mengzi walked over with a doubtful expression. “Hasn’t the journey to the Tongyou Peak always been safe? The appearance of the Mutated Rain Swallows seems a little unusual.”
Yuan Zilu harrumphed, “When we arrive at the Tongyou Peak, I’m going to have a nice chat with the person in charge of patrolling the route we took!”
With the reorganization done, Yuan Zilu wanted to order the convoy to advance when he saw Jin Guanchao rushing towards them. In order to ensure everyone’s safety, Yuan Zilu sent him out earlier to scout the road ahead. Who would have thought that he would return so quickly?
Before Tian Mengzi could say a word, Yuan Zilu’s countenance turned serious. Jin Guanchao’s yell rang through the air. “Enemy attack!”
