Chapter 47: The Fairy Bird's Egg

  "Can't let it be promoted to Earl." Bai Cangdong summoned a pure white knight with a large sword in both hands and rushed towards the firebird desperately.

  Li Xiangfei also counterattacked with her sword, aiming straight for the heart of Huoniao. Both of them were well aware that if they allowed Huoniao to be promoted to earl, they would undoubtedly die.

  A figure rushed in from outside the Quicksand Forest, joining forces with Bai Cangdong to deal with the Firebird. This was one of the Earl's men sent to secretly protect Li Xiangfei.

  Three people fought against the Firebird, still somewhat difficult to defeat the Firebird's divine power. The Firebird flapped its wings and hundreds of fire feathers flew out, keeping Bai Cangdong and his two companions busy responding.

  "You can't win this fight, let Miss Xiangfei go first." The man said indifferently.

  "Alright." Bai Cangdong responded with a single word and pulled Li Xiangfei along as they ran.

  "How can we just leave him?" Li Xiangfei refused to leave.

  "It's better to die one than to die three." Bai Cangdong said.

  Li Xiangfei also knew that this was the case, but she couldn't help feeling a little reluctant in her heart.

  "Our Order of Knights has been waiting for this moment. Please, miss, leave immediately." The man's calm voice carried from the battlefield, with an unspoken firm coldness.

  "Go." Bai Cangdong pulled Li Xiangfei again and took her away directly.

  The two of them desperately ran out of the forest, but before long, they heard a miserable cry, and the fiery red shadow of the firebird caught up with them again.

  "Split up and run, one can be one." Bai Cangdong pushed Li Xiangfei away and ran desperately in another direction.

  The Firebird saw the two fleeing in opposite directions and hesitated for a moment before chasing after Bai Cangdong.

  Bai Cang's heart was filled with bitter laughter, but he had no choice. He could only stop and engage in a fierce battle with the Firebird, who had a natural speed advantage that made it impossible for him to escape.

  "You beast, it's not that easy to kill me!" At the critical moment of life and death, Bai Cangdong didn't care about anything else, even summoning the Lian Luo sword. With both swords using knife techniques, he wanted to behead the Firebird.

  Right!

  The giant sword slashed down on the Firebird's wing, but instead of hurting the bird, it shocked White Can Dong's arm numb. The terrifying heat burned the giant sword bright red, and White Can Dong could only drop the sword, or else his entire arm would be reduced to ashes.

  Its body continuously twisted in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the Firebird's pursuit. Just as it landed on the ground, the Firebird swooped down again.

  "Damn it, are you done yet!" Bai Cangdong was furious in his heart, the oppressive feeling of death made him a bit hysterical, and he directly threw out the Xiangluo sword. His left little finger transformed into Eternal Ice, and he fiercely pointed at the Firebird.

  The Firebird dodged the silk sword, but failed to dodge this finger, and was ruthlessly poked by Bai Cangdong on its wing.

  It was like a red-hot iron block falling into the water, making an ear-piercing sound and white smoke. The undying light on the Firebird's body, which was like fireworks, was actually broken by Bai Cangdong, leaving a white mark on its wings.

  "'Polar Finger' can actually break through the Phoenix's Immortal Light!" Bai Cangdong was overjoyed, this meant he still had a glimmer of hope.

  The enraged Firebird became even more terrifying, with endless undying light radiating from it. Bai Cangdong didn't have the chance to get close to it again and could only desperately dodge.

  Fortunately, Bai Cangdong was proficient in the Body Technique and Martial Arts, using Ping Bu Qing Yun, Tian Shang Ba Bu and Xiuluo Yi together, Huo Niao found it difficult to kill him for a while.

  But Bai Cangdong was not optimistic at all, the title mark on Huo Niao's body was rapidly evolving, if it really promoted to Earl, then even if Bai Cangdong's skills were good, he would still find it hard to withstand Huo Niao's wrath.

  "There's still a chance to take a risk, can't wait for it to become an earl." Bai Cangdong steeled himself and charged towards the Firebird without regard for anything, having already made up his mind that it was either him or the bird that would die.

  The Firebird shot out thousands of fire feathers in a row, all of which were avoided by Bai Cangdong with his strange body method, continuously turning and folding in mid-air, trying hard to get closer to the Firebird.

  Byakuren Hajime, who had already steeled himself for death, was now strangely calm, flying and gliding through the air in his Shura Wing form, dodging wave after wave of flames, occasionally using Tenkū Hassō to avoid those that were sure to hit him, quickly closing in on the Firebird.

  Under this extreme threat of death, Bai Cao Dong's Tian Shang Ba Bu actually broke through again, and he forcibly took the sixth step, avoiding the Undying Light spewed from the Firebird's mouth. He was now within arm's reach of the Firebird.

  "There's only one chance, where is the weakness of the Firebird?" Amidst the flash of lightning, Bai Cangdong's gaze was fixed on the Firebird's entire body, but he didn't know what part was its weakness or how to deliver a fatal blow.

  Opportunity knocks but once, Bai Cangdong didn't dare to hesitate. In the moment when he brushed past Huo Niao, he made his move and pointed at the connection between its neck and chest cavity.

  "It's a matter of life and death." With one finger pointing at the Firebird, Bai Cang's own heart almost jumped out.

  A shrill bird cry echoed through the clouds, the Firebird's body rapidly disintegrating into tiny sparks that scattered to the ground, revealing its innermost red plumage and flesh.

  "This is the true form of the immortal sparrow, exactly as described in the records." Bai Cangdong gazed at the immortal sparrow, whose heart had already been pierced by his Extreme Frost Finger.

  The true body shattered, and the immortal sparrow returned to the altar of immortality, but left behind a ruby-like egg.

  "Could it be..." Bai Cangdong was somewhat hesitant to believe his own judgment, and quickly snatched up the red bird egg. After using it directly, the information he obtained made him overjoyed.

  Undead Egg: Viscount-level Undead Phoenix Egg, requires True Solar Fire to hatch.

  Getting the Phoenix Egg was a delightful surprise, but what disappointed Bai Canghai was that he didn't get promoted to Viscount. This was because before he killed the Phoenix, Li Xiangfei, who was already a Viscount, had fought the Phoenix once, and later on, someone from the Knights Templar intervened, so Bai Canghai wasn't able to obtain the title.

  Just like when Li Xiangfei was promoted to Viscount, the Silver Armor Knights didn't even dare to set foot on Lifu Island, fearing it would affect Li Xiangfei's promotion.

  However, being able to obtain a Viscount-level Phoenix Egg and personally killing a Viscount-level Undead made Bai Canghai very satisfied. With this experience, his heart's fear of Viscount-level Undead decreased by a lot, and when he truly advances in the future, he will have more confidence.

  The fairy bird is gone, and the great fire in the Fairy Bird Forest has also been extinguished at the same time. Those burning fairy flowers withered and fell one by one, like dust when fireworks fall to the ground.

  "You're not dead!" Li Xiangfei rushed over from somewhere, seeing Bai Canghai extremely excited.

  "I almost died, luckily someone suddenly appeared and killed the immortal sparrow, I was able to keep my life." Bai Cangdong said with some fear, rubbing his head.

  "I thought it was you who killed Xian Que, but it turned out that someone saved her. Who killed Xian Que?" Li Xiangfei asked.

  Bai Cang East bitterly smiled and said: "Xiang Fei big sister, when did you start looking down on me like this? If I had the ability to kill the immortal bird, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state. As for who killed the immortal bird, I'm not clear either. Just now I was desperately running away, and then only heard the immortal bird let out a miserable cry. When I turned my head back, the immortal bird was already dead."

  "One strike to kill the immortal sparrow, someone with such strength is probably a count. Could it be that the White Robed Count discovered the anomaly in the Immortal Sparrow Forest and turned back to investigate, killing the sparrow by chance and saving your life." Li Xiangfei muttered to herself.

  "I don't know, I didn't see the White Count, but it's possible." Bai Cangdong said with a smile: "Don't say so much, let's hurry back, lest the Count worry."

  Returning to Dalun City, Bai Cangdong followed Li Xiangfei to meet with the Earl of Dalun and recounted what had happened in Que Xianlin. The Earl of Dalun did not suspect that Bai Cangdong was the one who killed Xianque, but rather thought it was the White Robed Earl who returned and killed Xianque, just like Li Xiangfei.

  "This time, I owe him a favor, but it won't be easy to repay in the future." Duke Dolren let out a soft sigh and granted Bai Cangdong ten years of life span, allowing him to return and rest well to recover from his injuries.

  Bai Cangdong returned home, took out the Xianque egg and looked at it again and again, liking it more and more. The value of this thing is even higher than that of the same level of martial arts equipment and skills, each one is extremely precious.

  "What is this thing called the true fire of the sun?" The egg of the immortal bird needs the true fire of the sun to hatch, but Bai Cangdong had never heard of it before.

  "There's a lot of information in the Doran Society, I'll go take a look later." Bai Cangdong only felt this way now, the title of President was also very useful, all the information and martial arts in the Doran Society could be viewed and studied at will, even after being promoted to Viscount, there was no need to worry about not having any martial arts to learn.

  The next day, I arrived at Dolon's company early in the morning to check on information about Taiyang Zhenhuo. After finishing reading it, my face didn't look too good.

  "The only place where the true fire of the sun can be found nearby is actually Lonely Sky Cliff." The last time he almost died at Lonely Sky Cliff, Bai Cangdong simply didn't want to go to that place again.

  However, the true solar fire can only be found on the top of the Lonely Sky Cliff, and it is not the real solar fire, but a plant called Sunflower. One hundred sunflowers are needed to refine a thread of true solar fire, and Bai Cangdong cannot determine how much true solar fire is needed to hatch the Celestial Sparrow.

  "What a hassle." Bai Cangdong rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

  "Is Director Bai in?" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

  Bai Cang smiled and said: "Meng Yun, when did you become so polite?"

  Yan Mengyun pushed open the door and walked in, her expression somewhat cold and detached, completely devoid of her usual warmth.

  "This is my resignation letter, I'm going back to Fenghuacheng." Yan Mengyun said expressionlessly.

  Bai Cangdong slightly frowned, looking at Yan Mengyun and said: "Can't we wait a little longer? I'll soon be able to advance to Viscount, then I can accompany you to Fenghuacheng."

  "It's okay, I can go back by myself, you can't help me." Yan Mengyun put down her resignation letter and turned to leave. As she reached the door, she said to Bai Cangdong with her back to him: "We're not suitable for each other, forget about me."
