Chapter 854 Silver Wings

"Rong! Pull us out now! Grandma Yuan is looking straight at-" and before Lein could finish his sentence, the hair rope tied around his waist already started reeling him in at an increasingly fast speed.

"I know! I too can already feel her beady eyes staring at me! Hold onto your nape in case of whiplash!" Rong warned with his chi telepathy back at the group

"Those rascals!" Grandma Yuan chuckled a little more as she stood on her Golden Griffin, awaiting the right chance to finish the Loopa Ooofpa in one fell swoop after the Dragon's second attack according to their flying pattern.

But things never happened one sided in real life. The villains struggled to complete their own objective too. Grandma Yuan noticed that two human cultivators were running towards her, and their chi was being expelled into the surroundings.

"So, they showed themselves instead of running away, huh?" Grandma Yuan tapped on her Griffin and immediately, several Rainbow Feathers underneath the golden wings flew towards the location where she detected the chi.

"Huan, careful." Yung warned as he took his blade out and deflected the razor sharp feather projectiles. But to their surprise, instead of flying to another direction, the feather changed its course and proceeded to attack the Banned Emperor Assassin.

"Remember to keep your distance, Big Sister Yuan. We have no idea what foul tricks they have under their sleeves, especially when they have that dantian corruption poison." Hou Fei reminded Yuan as he relayed that information to Zeru who actually found the band of assassins rather quickly after Jin transported Peppers to his side too.

While it is not as legendary as the Scan spell that Peppers had, the magpies and crows' hard work finding the remnants of the Banned Emperor terror group made the subsequent kills easy. Zeru quickly searched and eliminated them.

There was no mercy in his strikes, and the birds did pick up two assassins who had run away from the area and were heading towards Grandma Yuan.

Without any hesitation, the System (even though it looked reluctant initially) had immediately teleported Zeru and Milk to deal with those assassins that were coming for Grandma Yuan.

After all, it deduced that its User would not forgive the System for making such a blunder under its watch. But to the bellators' surprise, Yun actually intervened when one of the assassins, Huan, came close enough despite Yuan putting a distance away from them by flying higher.

He had used the Loopa Ooofpa hand tentacles as a support to jump even as the Golden Griffin tried to fly and evade away from the damaged colossal manifestation.

"Do not think you can run away from me once I locked on to you!" Huan shouted as he picked a pistol up and aimed towards the Tiangong District Guardian.

Upon pulling the trigger, several black hydra silhouettes burst out of the gun, aiming for Yuan. It was then that Yun came between the hydra silhouettes and Grandma Yuan, deflecting most of the attacks with just a wide long blade.

Silverish wings soared through the sky on top of the Golden Bird. A Griffin silhouette appeared behind Yun and Yuan somehow felt that cultivation style Yun selected was meant to spite her further.

"You think using his cultivation style would make me delighted?" Yuan shouted, but it did not bother Yun a single bit as she released a technique yet again similar to Yuan's Rainbow Feather Storm.

"Advanced Silver Griffin Art, The Feathery Silver Cross Wave!" Yun shouted as she swung her blade and fully pushed back the Black Hydra silhouettes away with the first wave of silver chi energy. Only when the silhouettes dissipated, then she followed it up with the second and final wave of silver chi.

Huan tried to evade upon losing the fight of chi attrition, but Milk was behind him, giving him a sneaky shadow kick before conjuring chains made of light to pin him down. "Bon Voyage to the netherworld!" Milk said as she leapt backwards for the silver wave of chi to eliminate him.

Separately, Yung saw the opportunity to run even further away since he saw how absurd his teammate had decided to challenge someone who was leagues above him.

"The dantian corruption poison may be strong enough if you manage to get it into their body, you idiot!" Yung said as he tried to run until he suddenly felt that he hit a stick on the ground, which caused him to trip.

Only when he recovered from the attack did he realise Zeru was already there with his katana ready. However, even before Yung could move a muscle, Zeru cut his head away while holding onto his arm.

"Not too late, nor too early." Zeru said as he took the precaution to cut the left arm and kicked it away even though it was dangling lifelessly at the side when he beheaded the Banned Emperor Assassin.

At the tip of Yung's fingers was the Dantian Corruption Poison which the late assassin hoped to use against Zeru. Instead, the sword saint collected it in a sterile box and sent it to Evon for processing since he was the ultimate chemist in Jin's science team.

As for Yuan, she kept quiet for a moment upon seeing tears appearing on Yun's face despite it being expressionless after the fight.

"You still remember him, don't you? You do not have to act dumb in front of me. I too am a woman and mother." Yuan said as she lowered her Griffin, making it easier for her to ride on.

"There is still the Loopa Ooofpa. We got to-" Yun ignored Grandma Yuan's attempt in consoling, and she looked away to wipe her tears, but for the first time in a long while, the almighty District Guardian showed her softer side.

"Up, we are moving." Grandma Yuan cleared her throat and told her to climb up the Griffin. She did not know how much Yun remembered about her son and her, but that was something to resolve later, not when the Loopa Ooofpa still alive and kicking.

Yet, despite the dangers that the hand tentacles presented, the Golden Griffin was not moving anywhere else until Yun does.

It lowered its wings, and the Griffin used his body to cover the two cultivators while hovering in the middle of the battlefield. Even Yuan's manifested chi knew this was one of the times it had to protect its master at all cost during this indirect act of kindness.

For this small tiny opportunity to reconcile might never come again.
