Chapter 177 – The Bookish Kong Family!
When the Golden Palace’s gatekeeper demonic beasts were stirring, the only person who knew the inside story, Myriad Sound Realist, was leading people to hold on to the inner city of the palace.
Outside the palace gates, there were thousands of young men in various costumes standing in neat forests.
Some of those young men were dressed in scholarly long shirts, some were draped in armor, some were dressed in sackcloth, and there were also those who were half naked.
Although they were dressed differently, all of them shared a common trait, which was the expression on their faces.
Most of these young men were around twenty years old, and the oldest was no more than forty.
Originally, they should be full of essence and vigor, but at this time, they looked twilight, with stiff and numb expressions on their faces and stiff and mechanical movements.
They did not look like real people, but rather like puppets.
The Myriad Sound Realist wore a purple Taoist dress and a golden crown with bound hair, his left hand carried a silver silk duster, and his right hand held up a piece of purple and gold jade ruyi.
Miaoyin Zhenran stood in the center of the city building.
On the left hand side of the city wall stood the ancient and unperturbed Taoist priests of the Xuan Zhen Guan, and on the right hand side were the royal relatives of the Zhao Clan with different expressions and crazy eyes.
At this moment, a red songbird flew extremely fast from afar.
Buzz!
The sound of a bow being fired rang out from the crowd outside the city gates.
An iron arrow cut through the void with a whistling hiss, swiftly and incomparably shooting towards the dysprosium bird.
Hearing the movement underneath him, the red Dysprosium Bird glanced down, and an extremely humanized look of disdain appeared in its small, green-bean-sized eyes.
Buzz!
Right at this moment, another iron arrow shot out.
That iron arrow was even faster and came after it, crashing into the end of the previous arrow.
The first arrow instantly accelerated.
The red songbird was also a knowledgeable one.
Seeing this scene, it hastily put away the mocking look in its eyes and began to desperately flap its wings up.
This set of arrow technique Shooting Star Catching Moon!
One arrow was more ruthless than the other, and one arrow was faster than the other.
The highest level is to shoot nine arrows in a row, known as “Nine Stars Catching the Moon”.
Legend has it that after accelerating nine times, the speed of the first arrow can exceed ten times the speed of sound.
A ninth level Saint King realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to dodge it!
Seeing that someone outside the city had used the “Shooting Star Catching the Moon”, the Taoist monk beside Miao Yin Zhen Zhen came forward and said, “Sect Leader, ‘Shooting Star Catching the Moon’ is one of the ‘Six Arts of the Gentleman’ claimed by the Kong Clan, and the ‘Archery Art’ is one of the ‘Six Arts of the Gentleman’ claimed by the Kong Clan. The ‘Meteor Catching the Moon’ is one of the ‘Six Arts of the Gentleman’ claimed by the Kong Clan, and cannot be practiced by anyone other than a direct descendant of the Kong Clan, the one who attacked your Dysprosium Bird should be a direct descendant of the Kong Clan!”
The Myriad Sound Realist nodded slightly.
She had read a lot of books, and was no stranger to the Kong Clan’s ‘Meteor Catching the Moon’.
After seeing the speed and power of the two arrows, Miaoyin immediately judged that the Kong Clan disciple had only practiced the “Meteor Catching the Moon” to the fourth arrow, and was a hundred thousand miles away from the highest level of the “Nine Stars Catching the Moon”.
However, this level of “Meteor Catching the Moon” was already able to kill an average dysprosium bird.
Buzz! Buzz!
Two more iron arrows shot out from the crowd.
Then just like what Myriad Sound Realist had guessed, after four arrows, the man in the dark no longer had the ability to produce arrows.
After the first arrow was accelerated by the three iron arrows, its speed had already exceeded the sound.
The red dysprosium bird was extremely experienced.
After it heard the bow open four times underneath it, it suddenly retracted its wings for a moment before stopping in the air in an extremely counterintuitive stance.
If Zhao Yi was here and saw the red dysprosium bird’s extreme maneuver, he would definitely exclaim that Newton’s coffin board couldn’t be pressed anymore.
There were a total of two difficulties in the red dysprosium bird’s operation.
The first was from extreme speed to sudden stop.
The second is not moving the wings but hovering in the air.
The behavior of the red dysprosium bird directly subverts two fundamental laws of classical physics.
Inertia, and gravity.
If Zhao Yi had known that this bird was so awesome, he would have died when the Myriad Sound Realist tricked the bird from him in the first place.
The next moment!
The black iron arrow shot past three inches in front of the red songbird.
If it hadn’t braked urgently just now, it would have definitely been penetrated by the iron arrow at this point.
Shoo!
It was only at this point that the sound of the iron arrow breaking through the air came belatedly.
The red dysprosium bird confirmed that there was no danger and vibrated its wings, flying like a stream of light towards the Myriad Sound Realist on top of the city wall.
Realist Miao Yin hurriedly stretched out her left hand to catch the dysprosium bird, and at the same time, she pulled out the dried fruits she had already prepared from the brocade pouch on her waist and handed them to the dysprosium bird.
After the Dysprosium Bird landed on Myriad Sound Realist’s hand, it directly fell down in exhaustion.
Obviously the extreme operation just now was extremely consuming for it, and it was far from as easy as it looked.
Myriad Sound Realist looked at the Dysprosium Bird that was lying on its palm eating dried fruit, its eyes filled with amazement.
Myriad Voice finally understood the meaning of the phrase “Zhao Yi’s product must be a fine product”.
This red dysprosium bird had been with Myriad Voice for quite some time.
Although she also knew that this bird was unusual, she had only sent it to deliver messages on weekdays and couldn’t tell what was so special about it.
Until today, the Myriad Truly witnessed it casually break the “Meteor Catching Moon” that the Kong Clan was famous for, and only then did she finally realize what kind of treasure she had actually obtained.
“I should have known that I would have gone to the Small World to be struck by lightning as well!”
Thinking of Zhao Yi’s earlier comment that he would use all of the treasures in the treasury to repay the Zhao Clan Ancestors and the forbidden army of the Great Xia Dynasty that had helped him fight against the thunder in the Small World, the Myriad Voice Realist couldn’t help but salivate at once.
Zhao Yi’s treasure vault was a forbidden place in the Crown Prince’s Residence, and even Myriad Sound Realist hadn’t entered it.
Many people, including Realist Myriad Voice, had exchanged good things from Zhao Yi’s hands.
Although Zhao Yi cursed every time, none of them had refused.
Under these circumstances, Zhao Yi was still able to create a treasure trove out of it, so one could imagine how many treasures he had saved up over the years.
Although the red dysprosium bird was exceptional, it definitely didn’t rank in Zhao Yi’s treasure trove.
Zhao Yi was a man of his word.
Since he had promised to give away everything in the treasure trove, he definitely wouldn’t have any reservations.
As long as he could survive the Small World’s Thunderfire Tribulation, the proceeds that he would end up getting from Zhao Yi would definitely be extremely astonishing.
“Little fellow, have you had enough?”
Miaoyin Makoto looked at the songbird on her left hand, and used the jade rasp in her right hand to help gently smooth the dull hairs on top of her head that had been blown around by the wind.
“Tell me what you saw in the Kong family when you’re full, Sister is in a hurry to go to the Crown Prince’s Residence to grab something good, time is very tight!”
As Miaoyin Makoto spoke, the corner of her eyes swept towards those war dolls outside the palace gates.
These people were surrounding the Imperial City without fighting, retreating, or surrendering, so I don’t know what those fools in the Kong Family who were controlled by the “spirits” of the war puppets were thinking.
Dysprosium Bird ate a few dried fruits and regained some strength.
Hearing the words of Realist Miao Yin, it immediately chirped.
“They’re waiting for the undead legions outside the city to breach the gates?”
When Miaoyin Makoto heard the chirping bird’s transmission, he turned his head in the direction of the southern gates of Shengjing City.
The undead zombie dragons had already arrived at the city gates.
All of the city defense forces’ forbidden air formations were activated, and the Undead Dragons had landed a hundred feet away from the city walls, and at this time were beginning to charge the city under tremendous pressure!
