?Chapter 933: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 930 Obtaining Feathers Chapter 933: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 930 Obtaining Feathers Inside the fireball, a spiritual bird resembling a Firebird Talisman flickered in and out of view amidst the flames.
And within the yellow light sphere was an ugly, ball-like demon beast covered with rough and hard dusty yellow skin that was wrinkled and bunched, as if it had donned a layer of thick armor.
Protruding from the extremely obese body was a sharp mouse head and a slender tail, resembling a mutated giant demon rat.
“What kind of demon beast is this?
It’s so strange.
But it also has around seventh grade cultivation.
No, this beast seems to have flown from beyond the mountains.” Han Li, surprised, grew curious.
“This is an Earth Armor Dragon, a very rare type of demon beast known for its defense and talent in finding heavenly and earthly treasures.
This is good fortune that’s come knocking at our door!” Monarch Great Development exclaimed with delight.
“This spiritual beast?
Now I remember why it looks somewhat familiar.” Han Li realized.
Just as Han Li spoke, the two demon beasts, one after the other, plunged towards the foggy valley below.
Their target was the Rainbow Skirt Grass beneath.
After an encounter, Han Li flipped his palm, and a greenish Array Plate appeared in his hand, which he quickly slapped down.

The Array Plate shone brightly, and the outermost restrictive formations flashed at the same time, instantly capturing the Haoyang Bird within the restrictions.
However, when the mouse-headed Earth Armor Dragon anxiously followed suit, multiple restrictive formations re-emerged, blocking the creature outside the array.
The Earth Armor Dragon was naturally both shocked and enraged.
In a glitter of yellow light, its body furiously swelled to a massive size of seven or eight zhang, retracting its limbs and tail into its body.
Additionally, a layer of grey-white stone armor appeared on its surface, turning it into a round meatball that fiercely smashed into the restrictions.
With a “bang,” the first hit broke the two outermost restrictive formations.
The yellow light hesitated briefly before smashing into the remaining restrictions.
This brief delay gave Han Li enough time to control the Haoyang Bird.
As the bird rushed through the restrictions, it flapped its wings a few times, and clusters of red flames scattered all around, dispersing much of the fog below to reveal a vibrant peach grove covered in pink beneath the mist.
With a glint in its spiritual eyes, the bird spotted Han Li standing under the peach tree, and the Rainbow Skirt Grass exuding a strange scent on the Red Coral.
The bird, though not greatly astute on ordinary days, couldn’t help but feel an instinctive fear in its heart due to Han Li’s overt mid Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
After circling low in the sky, it didn’t dare to land directly.
Yet, the temptation of the Rainbow Skirt Grass was too great, and the bird was even less willing to leave just like that.
However, in that moment of hesitation, Han Li, expressionless, raised his hand and shot out a black Daoist paper talisman.
Under a flash of dark light, the Jade Talisman turned into a black and red ghost claw that grasped towards the Haoyang Bird.
The Haoyang Bird was startled.
Without further thought, it flapped its wings, and about thirty fist-sized fireballs shot out, aimed at the ghost claw.
A series of explosions rang out.
A brilliant interplay of black and fiery red light flickered, momentarily keeping the ghost claw at bay.
Seeing this, Han Li made a soft noise of surprise.
But with a pinch of his fingers, the silver wings on his back suddenly flared up.
After a rumble of thunder, Han Li vanished, and in the next moment, his silhouette reappeared several zhang above the bird.
With a cold expression, he rubbed his hands together and then raised five fingers at once.
Two thick golden arcs shot out from his palms, exploded, and turned into a huge electrified net that fell towards the bird.
The Haoyang Bird, fully engaged in combating the black ghost claw, was caught off guard and suddenly enveloped by the golden net.
The bird panicked instantly, shaking its body.
Some of its fiery feathers detached and fell, turning into a dense rain of red light that surged towards the net.
Sounds of continuous explosions erupted from within the net, creating a relentless rumbling noise.
A glint of cold light flashed in Han Li’s eyes.
With a flick of his wrist, he sharply spat out the word “Capture.”
The electric net, composed of arcs, flashed wildly and suddenly shrank without fear of the fiery attack.
Amidst a burst of golden light, the desperately resisting Haoyang Bird was tightly bound by the thick golden arcs and could no longer move even an inch, emitting only a mournful cry.
A flicker of joy crossed Han Li’s face.
At that moment, a loud “boom” resounded from above.
His expression changing, Han Li suddenly looked up to see that the final layer of restrictive formations overhead had been shattered by the Earth Armor Dragon.
The hastily set up formations using formation flags and plates were simply too flimsy against a seventh-grade demon beast.
But when the Earth Armor Dragon, which had reverted back from the huge boulder, charged into the fog and saw the Haoyang Bird tightly bound by thick golden arcs and Han Li above the peach grove, its small green eyes rolled continuously, revealing a humanoid expression of shock.
Seeing this, Han Li felt a stir in his heart.
This Earth Armor Dragon seemed to be very spiritually wise.
At that moment, the Earth Armor Dragon glanced over the Rainbow Skirt Grass on the ground, a sly look appearing in its eyes.
Suddenly, a yellow light flashed over its body, and it plunged straight towards the ground.
“Stop it.
It knows the Earth Escape Skill.
As soon as it touches the ground, it will vanish into the earth.” Monarch Great Development warned.
“Don’t worry, I have everything arranged.” Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly and responded with ease.
The Earth Armor Dragon reached the ground in an instant and, seeing that there was no one else around the Rainbow Skirt Grass, lunged forward with great joy, ready to swallow the herb in one bite.
But just at that moment, the ground around the Rainbow Skirt Grass emitted a series of “puff puff” sounds as twelve streams of crystal-clear cold air sprayed out without the slightest warning.
The Earth Armor Dragon, being mid-air and so close, had no time to dodge and was immediately encased in a thick layer of ice, turning into a glittering ice sculpture.
Right then, the ground below shimmered with white light, and twelve snow-white centipedes, each half a foot long, emerged.
They reared their heads and wagged their tails as they continually spewed cold air from their mouths.
“So, you had placed the Six-Winged Frost Centipedes underground.
I was worried for nothing,” Monarch Great Development chuckled upon seeing the Earth Armor Dragon restrained.
Even though the Earth Armor Dragon’s flesh was tough, it could not withstand the onslaught of cold air spat by the twelve Six-Winged Frost Centipedes.
It was not surprising that it would be subdued by a sneak attack.
“I had arranged this as a precaution, just in case.
I never expected that the Earth Armor Dragon would blunder into it,” Han Li calmly said.
With a flick of his figure, Han Li appeared behind the Haoyang Bird.
After sweeping his gaze over a few feathers on the bird’s tail, he actually smiled at the creature before him:
“I know you’re not very spiritually wise yet, but you can understand some human language.
I have no intention of harming you, but would those tail feathers of yours fall off on their own, or should I pluck them myself?” Han Li spoke so astonishingly.
The Haoyang Bird in the net indeed understood human speech.
As soon as Han Li’s words left his mouth, the bird shivered, and a look of furious indignance appeared in its eyes, its cries becoming even more piercing.
Han Li’s expression darkened, and with a cold huff, he said no more and raised a single hand.
His palm was wrapped in a layer of misty green light, about to reach towards the bird’s tail.
Fear finally flashed through the eyes of the Haoyang Bird, and out of helplessness, it shook its tail feathers.
After a flash of red light, all of the long feathers fell off.
After all, these feathers were connected to the creature’s base essence and bloodline; forcibly removing them would cause significant damage to the body.
Letting them fall off voluntarily, while still resulting in a considerable loss of base essence, could avoid bodily harm.
The green light flashed, and Han Li was overjoyed.
With a sweep of his hand, he caught the fiery red tail feathers.
With a flip of his other hand, a jade box that he had prepared beforehand materialized.
He swiftly placed the tail feathers into the box and affixed a few Daoist paper talismans to the lid.
Only then did Han Li carefully put the jade box into his storage pouch.
After he had finished all this, Han Li waved his hand lightly over the Haoyang Bird’s head, and a surge of spiritual power knocked it over, rendering it unconscious.
Han Li smiled and then turned his eyes towards the ice-bound Earth Armor Dragon below.
Although the demon beast was restrained by the thick ice, it seemed to retain its awareness within.
When Han Li’s gaze met the creature’s twin beady eyes, they revealed an extreme look of fear.
Han Li transformed into a streak of azure light and shot downward…
A quarter of an hour later, a dazzling golden light, similar to lightning from beyond the heavens, flashed across the sky above the valley.
Circling once, the golden brilliance retracted, revealing an old woman in purple robes who had been hidden within the secret halls of Yueyang Palace.
Beside her stood another person who didn’t dare even breathe heavily-another individual, Fang Chu.
By this time, the peach grove was devoid of its restrictive formations, empty of life.
The Haoyang Bird, now resembling a plucked chicken, was discarded under a peach tree, still in a faint.
Seeing the state of the Haoyang Bird, the old woman was shocked.
She then swept her Divine Sense over the bird, finding that although it had lost its tail feathers and its Qi was damaged, it had not suffered any other harm, which somewhat relieved her.
However, after giving the unseemly bare tail of the Haoyang Bird a few more glances, anger surged within her.
“Check on the spiritual bird and wake it up,” she ordered with a grim face.
Fang Chu, standing beside her, hurriedly nodded in agreement and descended on his flying tool.
Had it not been for being caught up mid-route by this ancestor of Yueyang Palace and brought along, Fang Chu’s speed of flight would not have allowed him to reach this place so soon.
At this moment, the old woman looked around and, upon reflection, closed her eyes and slowly released her Divine Sense, scanning for the brazen culprit.
A moment later, her expression changed as if she had caught a clue.
She quickly gave a few instructions below before transforming into a golden light and hurriedly departed.
Shortly after, she arrived hundreds of miles away in the high skies, intercepting an odd cultivator attempting to leave the Tianyue Mountain Range.
“So, who do we have here?
If it isn’t Fellow Daoist Ma from the Demon Wood Sect.
Should you not be meditating in seclusion at your sect?
What business do you have sneaking around our Tianyue Mountain Range?
Did you cause the commotion with the demon beast just now?” the old woman asked, staring skeptically at the other party and questioning him coldly.
The person opposite her, wearing a yellow-green robe with a masked face, showed eyes that emitted an unnatural golden glow, creating an eerie effect.
