Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

After Zhao Wenxu died, the Emerald Bird, his contracted beast, fell rapidly. Ling Yi stood on the Emerald Bird's back and fell with it. Just before hitting the ground, Ling Yi flew away.

"boom"

The enormous body of the golden eagle crashed down, crushing the vegetation below and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ling Yi put away the bone knife and used a healing spell to heal the wound on his left hand.

When they stopped and the dust had mostly settled, Ling Yi glanced over there but didn't see Zhao Wenxu's body; it must have been crushed.

Ling Yi didn't look again, turned around and headed back in the direction the golden emerald bird had come from. At the same time, he took out the communication stone that had been glowing since earlier. As soon as the communication stone connected, before Ling Yi could finish speaking, he heard Mu Shengyuan's worried voice: "Ling Yi, how are you? Are you alright?"

Before Ling Yi could answer her question, she heard her ask again, "Where are you? We'll come pick you up."

Ling Yi didn't know where they were, but could tell them the direction the golden bird was flying and how long it had been flying.

After receiving the message, Mu Shengyuan told Ling Yi to stay where she was and wait for them. They went there quickly and then cut off contact.

Ling Yi put away the communication stone and looked at the corpse of the golden bird. Since he had to wait... he couldn't wait in vain.

Thinking of this, Ling Yi flew to the side of the Golden Jade Bird's corpse, carefully examined the body, located the beast core, charged up his power and shot out the beast core.

A pale blue beast core, a symbol of the wind element.

The core of a mortal-level, third-tier, second-level flying beast should be able to fetch some money, right?

Ling Yi put away the beast core, then flew to a tree to wait for Mu Shengyuan and the others to arrive.

Before Mu Shengyuan arrived, Lingyi witnessed a fierce battle where wild beasts fought over food, making the already bloody smell of the place even stronger.

After watching the ferocious beasts snatch their food, Ling Yi noticed that a flying beast was approaching.

The ferocious beast below had clearly noticed this as well, and looked warily towards the sky.

Ling Yi glanced at it, and the instant he flew away, flames beneath his feet transformed into a beast, approaching the flying beast coming from afar. Just as it was about to get close, Ling Yi moved and landed on the back of the flying beast, while the beast formed from flames disappeared in an instant.

"Ling Yi!"

Upon seeing the people, Mu Shengyuan and Yan Wuxin immediately stepped forward.

The two men carefully examined Ling Yi, and only when they were sure that Ling Yi was unharmed did they feel relieved and ask, "Where is Zhao Wenxu, who took you away?"

“He’s dead.” Ling Yi thought for a moment: “His flying beast is being dismembered, and his body…” It depends on whether those beasts are hungry or not. If they are, the body probably won’t survive.

"As long as you're dead, what do we care about your body?" Mu Shengyuan was furious. "What good could it be if a teacher took you away without a word?"

"He deserved to die."

Ling glanced at her, then looked at Dongfang Jibai, who hadn't moved since she appeared, and said indifferently, "He took me away because he wanted to hand me over to the people sent by Dongfang Yu's parents."

"Dongfang Yu?" Mu Shengyuan had no impression of Dongfang Yu, but since Dongfang was a royal surname, he looked at Dongfang Jibai.

Dongfang Jibai said, "Ling Yi killed Dongfang Yu; they are doing this to seek revenge."

After listening, Mu Shengyuan didn't ask Ling Yi why he wanted to kill Dongfang Yu. He simply said, "Ling Yi, after we set off, Teacher Yu and the others also set off. We'll take you to meet up with Teacher Yu."

"Mm," Ling Yi replied, "Thank you."

"You've done me such a big favor, why are you being so polite with me?" After saying that, Mu Shengyuan instructed the beast tamer to turn around and go back.

Yan Wuxin sat down next to Ling Yi: "Ling Yi, if you're not happy in the Dongyang Empire, why not come to our Xiyan Empire?"

Ling Yi smiled upon hearing this: "If you want me to go to the Western Flame Empire, you can use the Eight Trigrams to send me there."

Yan Wuxin smiled and said, "I've already sent someone to investigate. Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

“It’s the same for me,” Mu Shengyuan said. “If I find out first, how about you come to the Southern Kite Empire?”

Dongfang Jibai was a little confused when he heard this conversation. What kind of gossip could interest someone like Ling Yi?

Dongfang Jibai wanted to ask, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise during the conversation, so he had to give up.

Not long after the flying beast turned back, it encountered the Dongyang Empire's team. Ling Yi and Dongfang Jibai bid farewell to Mu Shengyuan and Yan Wuxin and returned to their team.

On the back of the flying beast, Yu Yang looked at Ling Yi who had returned and wanted to ask where Zhao Wenxu's body was, but looking at Ling Yi's appearance, the words that were about to come out became: "Get some rest."

Ling Yi raised an eyebrow when she heard this. She thought he would ask her where Zhao Wenxu's body was.

In fact, Yu Yang did want to ask, but he didn't because Zhao Wenxu had done something inhuman, and Ling Yi wouldn't let him off the hook. The condition of the corpse was probably not good, and asking Ling Yi this question would undoubtedly be like stabbing Ling Yi in the heart.

Instead of asking about the victim's situation, they asked about the perpetrator's body first. Isn't that heartbreaking?

Yu Yang didn't want to upset Ling Yi, so he pulled Dongfang Jibai aside and asked Dongfang Jibai if he knew any clues.

Dongfang Jibai heard about this not long ago and told Yu Yang about it.

After listening to this, Yu Yang went to the place Dongfang Jibai mentioned and told the team to go ahead while he went down to find Zhao Wenxu's body.

Zhao Wenxu was indeed not human, but he was still a teacher of the Dongyang Empire. No matter how much grievance they had, as teachers, they couldn't just leave him to rot in the wilderness or be devoured by wild beasts.

Ling Yi wasn't unaware of what Yu Yang was doing, but as long as she killed someone, she wouldn't stop her from doing anything else.

...

Seven days later, the flying beast landed at the Imperial Academy. Ling Yi got off the flying beast and saw the dean and Lin Xinze waiting not far away.

"younger sister!"

Upon seeing Ling Yi return, Lin Xinze called out happily and then ran towards Ling Yi.

Unlike Lin Xinze's joy, Ling Yi's face remained expressionless as she calmly walked towards Lin Xinze, but...

With a "whoosh," a sharp arrow formed from spiritual energy struck, but its target was not Ling Yi, but Lin Xinze, who was running towards Ling Yi with a big smile on his face!

"New Jersey!"

That spirit arrow was incredibly powerful; if Lin Xinze, with his small frame, had been hit by it, he would have certainly died!

Without hesitation, the dean was about to rescue the students when a whistle blew. The flying beast, which had just landed, seemed to receive a command upon hearing the whistle and flapped its wings violently. The sudden strong wind sent the unsuspecting students flying.

The dean was also affected by the strong wind, and his movements slowed down for a moment. In that moment of slowness, it was too late.

Lin Xinze was swept up and crashed into the direction from which the spirit arrow had come.

The moment he was swept up by the wind, the smile on Lin Xinze's face was replaced by fear.

Is he going to die?

But he hadn't even hugged his sister yet, and hadn't had a chance to tell her how much he missed her.
