In the air above the Fan family mansion.
A youth wearing a snow-white robe stood on a golden-crowned eagle with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down expressionlessly on the entire Fan family mansion.
"Little Gold, destroy the Fan family mansion for me."
The youth gazed dispassionately at the buildings below him as he spoke evenly to the other golden-crowned eagle.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Little Gold had long been itching for some action, and when he heard the youth's command, his eyes lit up, and he immediately dived towards the building that occupied the largest area.
Crash!!
...
The black golden-crowned eagle was like a black bolt of lightning, and as it passed, building after building collapsed with a crash. Not a single building could withstand its attack.
A Petty Consummation demon of the Qi-Gathering, just like a Petty Consummation adept of the Qi-Gathering, could exert a force of nine bulls and one tiger by using its qi.
A force of nine bulls and one tiger already exceeded nine thousand jin of force.
In addition to Little Gold's original strength, being a demon was far greater than a human's maximum muscular strength. The sum of his total strength from his muscular strength and the strength from his qi was incomparable to a human Petty Consummation adept of the Qi-Gathering.
Even Zhou Donghuang, who was already at the level of Petty Consummation of the Qi-Gathering, could not compare in terms of pure strength to Little Gold.
The reason he could overcome both Little Gold and Big Gold with his all-around abilities was entirely because he had used human martial arts techniques.
Human martial arts techniques were sufficient enough to make up for the difference in physical strength between humans and demons.
Of course, some demons were simply too strong, and even though a human at the same level demonstrated a reasonable level of martial arts, he might not be a match for the demon.
For example, the grizzly bear that Zhou Donghuang killed in the Lost Forest was an unsurpassed level-nine demon of the Qi-Gathering, but the patriarch of the tycoon Tang family, Tang Liunian, who was at the same level, was no match for it.
The grizzly bear's physical form was even stronger and more robust than the golden-crowned eagle!
Following Little Gold's attack, the entire Fan family mansion very soon descended into chaos as it had been almost half destroyed by Little Gold in the blink of an eye.
Little Gold's speed was too great, and in addition to his strength, no demolition team on Earth would have been able to match him.
"What's happening?"
"What is that?"
"My god! That's an eagle!"
...
A crowd of Fan family members rushed out from the collapsed buildings with fear in their eyes. When they looked at the giant eagle that had caused the destruction in the Fan family mansion, their expressions changed completely one by one.
"Pui."
Lu Qinghu, who could stand steadily beside the youth only because the youth held on firmly to his shoulder, spat savagely at the scene before him.
"Young Master, this... this eagle, what level of demon is it? Why do I feel that when it attacks, there seems to be a sonic boom? That is the mark of a Great Consummation adept of the Qi-Gathering!"
Witnessing firsthand the speed of the two giant black eagles, Lu Qinghu could easily tell that they had considerable ability, but he could not be sure of their exact level. Now, seeing one of the black eagles in action, he was completely shocked.
Sonic booms were the mark of a Great Consummation adept of the Qi-Gathering. Besides that, moving with a thousand jin of force or more could produce a sonic boom. And now, this black eagle had demolished the buildings of the Fan family mansion and occasionally produced sonic booms. This had prompted him to ask Zhou Donghuang this question.
"It's a Petty Consummation demon of the Qi-Gathering, but because of a demon's physical strength together with the strength from its qi, it has enough strength to barely muster a thousand jin of force, " Zhou Donghuang said unhurriedly.
Although he was long since mentally prepared, Lu Qinghu could still not help sucking in a cold breath when he heard Zhou Donghuang say that the two black eagles were Petty Consummation demons of the Qi-Gathering.
"You mean to say, he... he is also a Petty Consummation demon of the Qi-Gathering?"
Lu Qinghu looked down at the black eagle he was standing on as he mumbled his question.
"He is the elder brother of the silly bird that just attacked, so what do you think?" Zhou Donghuang countered.
Lu Qinghu was stunned.
Two Petty Consummation demons of the Qi-Gathering, moreover flying demons, had been subdued by his Young Master Donghuang?
How long had it been?
Had his Young Master Donghuang already grown to such extent?
"Young Master Donghuang, you... have you now... already attained Great Consummation of the Qi-Gathering?" Lu Qinghu asked in a trembling voice as he swallowed hard.
"Great Consummation of the Qi-Gathering?"
Zhou Donghuang shook his head."Almost... in half a year, I should more or less be able to attain it."
Zhou Donghuang was being overly modest about this, but he nevertheless shocked Lu Qinghu so severely that his heart trembled. He looked again at the youth as though he was looking at a stranger, like the first time he had seen him.
Crash!
...
Very soon, all the buildings with some height in the Fan family mansion had been demolished by Little Gold, and swirls of dust rose into the air accompanied by the loud crashes booming out.
"Young Master, could you give me this kind of assignment in the future? Little Gold is having all the fun while I'm getting bored watching from here."
Big Gold was watching as Little Gold shot out from the clouds of dust and flew over towards him while speaking to the youth on his back.
"You will have your chance in the future, " Zhou Donghuang said calmly.
"Young Master, I did well, didn't I?" Little Gold asked Zhou Donghuang happily as he tried to claim all the credit.
"A little sloppy, " Zhou Donghuang answered off-handedly.
"This is considered sloppy?"
Little Gold stared back at him in indignation.
"What? Any objections?"
Zhou Donghuang exchanged looks calmly with Little Gold, frightening him into looking away as he shook his head."No... no... no objections! None at all!!"
At this crucial moment, Little Gold remembered the qi-gathering elixir. If he irritated this youth and caused him to withhold the qi-gathering elixir, he would lose out big time.
Why did he leave the Lost Forest and follow this youth? Was it not for the qi-gathering elixir? If not, why had he left when he had been known as the tyrant of the Lost Forest, free to do whatever he desired?
After about fifteen minutes, the cloud of dust engulfing the Fan family mansion slowly dispersed.
At this moment, Zhou Donghuang allowed Big Gold to dive down to a lower altitude, revealing themselves to many of the Fan family members.
Little Gold followed suit and dived down.
In an instant, several sharp-eyed Fan family juniors spotted Big Gold and Little Gold."Look over there! That was the work of those two black eagles just now!"
"Correct! It's them!"
"Where did they come from? Why did they attack our Fan family mansion?"
...
Several Fan family juniors obviously thought that the attackers were the two black eagles they saw, and immediately, a vengeful tinge look crept into their frightened looks.
"Young Master, what are they saying?" Big Gold asked Zhou Donghuang as he spotted several of the Fan family juniors staring at him.
"They are saying that it was you and Little Gold together who destroyed the Fan family mansion."
Zhou Donghuang laughed casually.
"What?!"
Hearing Zhou Donghuang's translation, Big Gold got angry."I didn't do anything, but they said I attacked them? Young Master, if you want to wipe them out, let me do it... I, Big Gold, have never been so depressed before in all my life!"
"Only Little Gold enjoyed himself while I didn't, and they said I had fun? I can't stand it! Can't stand it!!"
Earlier, seeing that Little Gold had been allowed to destroy the Fan family mansion, Big Gold was extremely envious and dearly wished that he could have been part of that demolition team, but with his young master on his back, he dared not act rashly.
But now, with the Fan family members were accusing him of attacking when he had not, how could he tolerate it?
"Golden-crowned eagles! I think they're golden-crowned eagles!"
Suddenly, from among the crowd of Fan family members, there came a shocked shout that cut through the noise from the crowd.
Soon, more and more people noticed after carefully observing the two giant black eagles circling at low altitude that the two giant eagles looked exactly the same as the two golden-crowned eagles of the Lost Forest were said to appear.
"Correct! These are golden-crowned eagles!"
"My God! Why did the golden-crowned eagles come to our Fan family?"
"No wonder I vaguely heard a sonic boom when these two black eagles were destroying our Fan family mansion... it seems that these two black eagles are the two golden-crowned eagles of the Lost Forest, the tyrants of the Lost Forest, the Petty Consummation demons of the Qi-Gathering!"
...
After confirming that the two black eagles they were watching as they circled at low altitude were the two golden-crowned eagles from the Lost Forest, which were also Petty Consummation demons of the Qi-Gathering, the Fan family members all had panic written on their faces.
"Why would the golden-crowned eagles come and cause such destruction at our Fan family mansion?"
"Do you all see that? There are two people standing on the back of the golden-crowned eagle with the deeper-colored gold crown! A youth and a middle-aged man."
"There really is! I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me."
"My God! Who can they be? Using the golden-crowned eagle as a mount... even the king who controls the entire Western Ridge of the Chu King does not have the ability to subdue those two golden-crowned eagles."
...
When the crowd of Fan family members saw Zhou Donghuang and Lu Qinghu, they were so frightened that their expressions changed completely, and at the same time, they had a hunch: the reason these two golden-crowned eagles had wrought such destruction on the Fan family mansion was inextricably linked to these two people.
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
...
As more and more Fan family members gathered, soon, a middle-aged man in a silver robe with gold borders strode over quickly as he was respectful greetings were called out.
This middle-aged man was ordinary-looking and of average build, but his eyes were bright and lively, and they seemed to bring him to life.
Behind this middle-aged man were two old people. One of the old people was an old woman.
"The patriarch of the tycoon Fan family, Fan Chen, acknowledges the two sirs."
The middle-aged man in the lead arrived at the spot below where the golden-crowned eagles were circling and bowed to the two people on the eagle's back.
Although his eyes were filled with a towering rage, they did not dare show the slightest hint of anger when faced with the two golden-crowned eagles.
He had once entered the Lost Forest with men from the Chu royal family and had been robbed of his qi-gathering elixirs by the two golden-crowned eagles.
Therefore, he could tell with a single glance that these two golden-crowned eagles were the same two golden-crowned eagles from the Lost Forest, the absolute tyrants of the Lost Forest!
