168: Chapter 168

"Fire of Divine Sense!"

Having said that, Ning Yuan no longer held back. With a fierce shout in his heart, a gray glow flashed in his eyes as an invisible and intangible Divine Sense attack arrived silently.

"Ugh..."

The Blood Python only had time to let out a muffled groan before blood gushed from its mouth and nose. Blood also emerged from its seven orifices, and its body immediately fell from high in the sky, kicking up a bit of dust on the ground.

In the face of a Divine Sense attack, even a Soul Transformation cultivator would be affected, let alone a mere Half-step Spirit Transformation Stage. Death was but a matter of an instant.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ning Yuan collected the nine Blood Python corpses, turned around, and left the area.

Next, it was time for Ning Yuan to implement his plan: to escalate the scale of the conflict between the two tribes, thereby drawing out a Yao Race Void Refining expert to achieve his own goals.

After flying a long distance, seeing that there was no one around, Ning Yuan paused and dove downward. A few breaths later, when he reappeared, his appearance was completely different. He no longer looked like Yu Bei, but had transformed into a Blood Python.

Choosing a direction at random, he sped away. He intended to use his identity as a Blood Python to hunt Feathered Eagles in reverse. Once he had killed enough, he would change back into his Feathered Eagle identity to hunt Blood Pythons.

Before long, intense shouts and sounds of killing came from ahead. Bursts of booming noises were constant, a large amount of blood mist filled the sky, and corpses fell from high above like raindrops!

Ning Yuan's gaze was cold. After watching for a while, he turned into a streak like an arrow leaving a bow, rushing forward. As he drew near, he raised his hand and sacrificed countless Snake-shaped Flying Blades, which shot rapidly toward the people of the Feathered Eagle Clan.

A Golden Core Feathered Eagle who was fighting hard had just killed a Foundation Establishment Blood Python. Just as he was about to continue, a white light suddenly flashed before his eyes. A flying blade violently pierced through his chest; his eyes dimmed, and his body plunged headlong from mid-air.

Ten Foundation Establishment Feathered Eagles were joining forces to deal with a Golden Core Blood Python, but after the flying blades flashed past, all ten of them shuddered, their expressions froze, and their lifeless bodies fell from the air.

That Golden Core Blood Python was merely stunned, but the current situation did not allow him to think much. He hurriedly rushed toward a nearby Feathered Eagle.

A Golden Core Feathered Eagle was locked in a duel with a Golden Core Blood Python. Both sides were fighting inextricably when another flying blade pierced the Feathered Eagle's skull, after which he was beaten into mincemeat by the Golden Core Blood Python.

As more and more Feathered Eagles died, Ning Yuan's presence was gradually noticed by the crowd. Many Nascent Soul Feathered Eagles wanted to intercept Ning Yuan, but they were all blocked by Blood Pythons, forced to watch helplessly as Ning Yuan carried out a massive slaughter.

Under these circumstances, the Blood Pythons immediately launched a fierce offensive, leading to even more Feathered Eagles being killed. Victory was already leaning toward the Blood Pythons; perhaps before long, they could completely annihilate all the Feathered Eagles.

Ah!

Accompanied by a scream, a Nascent Soul Blood Python was slain. After killing his opponent, that Nascent Soul Feathered Eagle rushed toward Ning Yuan without a word, shouting furiously:

"Mere little snake, you only know how to bully the weak. Do you dare to exchange blows with me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? If you have the guts, then follow me and see if I can slay you!"

Without looking back, Ning Yuan quickly leaped away, turning into a bloody light as he distanced himself. Seeing this, how could the Feathered Eagle let it go? He quickly gave chase, his eyes showing mockery as he said loudly:

"You little snake only have a sharp tongue. Otherwise, why would you turn and flee? Watch me slay you today to avenge my fallen clansmen!"

Ning Yuan said nothing and quickly escaped forward. He had no need to speak further with a dying man. After rushing a great distance, he suddenly stopped and abruptly turned to face the pursuing Feathered Eagle.

Ning Yuan's eyes glowed with a gray light as he said in a low voice: "You can die now!"

Before the Feathered Eagle could say anything, he felt his vision plunge into darkness, and his body fell from the sky. However, Ning Yuan raised his hand to pull the corpse close. After observing it carefully for a moment, he shook his body and transformed into the likeness of this Feathered Eagle.

After putting away the corpse, he again sped off in a random direction, preparing to repeat the operation from just now, but this time hunting Blood Pythons.

Thus, by constantly changing identities, a large number of Feathered Eagles and Blood Pythons were killed. The number of dead Nascent Souls exceeded a hundred, and those below Nascent Soul were countless.

In both tribes, no one suspected any foul play; they all thought their people had died at the hands of the enemy. All this could only be said to be because Ning Yuan had done his job too well.

Every time he changed into a new identity, he would bring out the corpse of the person he had previously impersonated, creating the illusion that they were killed by his new identity to deceive others.

In this way, they were constantly caught in a cycle of killing and being killed. Moreover, he deliberately allowed some low-level Yao Race members to witness the process, making it even more convincing.

This behavior continued for ten days... during which an unexpected event occurred: the Blood Python Clan Leader issued a bounty of up to ten million. The person being hunted was naturally Ning Yuan... no, to be precise, it should be Yu Bei.

The cause was that, in order to complete the mission of killing twenty-five enemies, he naturally had to take on the appearance of Yu Bei. Unexpectedly, he was recognized as the person who killed the Blood Python Young Lord.

Back then, many people had seen the Blood Python Young Lord go to hunt down Ning Yuan. It was just that no one cared at the time, everyone thinking that with the Blood Python Young Lord's strength, dealing with a mid-stage Nascent Soul Feathered Eagle would be easy. Who would have thought the Blood Python Young Lord would never return?

Now that Ning Yuan had reappeared in the Python Eagle Forest, how could the Blood Python Clan Leader let him go so easily? If it weren't for the fact that as a Clan Leader he could not move lightly, he would have personally come to the door long ago. How could he have just issued a bounty!

The name of Yu Bei also spread within the two tribes at an alarming speed.

If it were just that, Ning Yuan wouldn't have taken it to heart. But the subsequent development gave him a feeling like being struck by lightning!

The Blood Python Tribe actually sent people to negotiate, demanding that the Feathered Eagle Clan hand over Ning Yuan in exchange for a hundred-year ceasefire and non-aggression pact between the two tribes.

This condition caused a sensation throughout the Feathered Eagle Clan. Deep down, many people wanted to hand Ning Yuan over in exchange for a hundred years of respite. Sacrificing just one Ning Yuan could be said to be quite a bargain.

During this period of fighting, both sides had suffered countless casualties. If they continued to fight like this, the middle and lower-level Yao Race might all die out, which was unacceptable to both sides.

Now Ning Yuan was a stepping stone. As long as they handed him over, both sides could get a breathing space. Even if the Blood Python Tribe went back on their word later, the loss would only be a single Nascent Soul, which was harmless for the Feathered Eagle Clan.

Out of this consideration, Ning Yuan was placed under house arrest to prevent him from running away when he saw things going south.

At this moment, inside a certain room.

Ning Yuan paced back and forth, looking indignant. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "A bunch of bastards! If they really want to hand me over, then don't blame me for flipping the table!"

But as a last resort, Ning Yuan really didn't want to do that. Once he did, it would be difficult to seize the spring of life then. He might not even be able to find out its location before being forced to leave the Nine Profound Realm.
