Chapter 453 - 421: Green-Eyed Golden Eagle_1
Chapter 453: Chapter 421: Green-Eyed Golden Eagle_1
Its feathers glowed gold, with a patch of jade-green feathers around its eyes. Its gaze was sharp, its beak curved like a hook, and it resonated an aura of sharpness.
This green-eyed golden eagle was one of a kind, the exclusive mount of Xiao Tian Yuan in the entire Da Xia Nation.
Flying beasts were not like ordinary ones, capturing one was difficult and taming them was even more arduous.
Take the white-headed eagle in the county city branch, for example. A considerable amount of manpower and resources were expended just to capture it, then it took several years of training to become a qualified flying mount.
There were only two in the entire county city branch, which couldn’t be used unless there was an important matter, and even then it had to be approved by the chairman.
A common family at the Martial Emperor level wouldn’t be able to afford them.
Upon reaching the Martial Spirit level, the speed of the flying beasts would increase significantly, the difficulty in capturing and training also escalated proportionally.
In the entire Da Xia nation, the number of flying mounts above the Martial Spirit level was extremely limited.
As for the Martial Emperor level, there was only this green-eyed golden eagle of Xiao Tian Yuan.
This was Yin Wen’s first encounter with a real green-eyed golden eagle.
“No wonder Xiao Tian Yuan and his group could arrive so quickly. With the green-eyed golden eagle, it would be difficult to slow down,” Yin Wen thought.
Actually, she should have thought of it sooner. Since Xiao Tian Yuan was here, it was impossible for his mount, the green-eyed golden eagle, not to come.
“That beast looks brutal!” Zhang Ergou exclaimed.
He had never heard of Xiao Tian Yuan, so naturally he didn’t know what a green-eyed golden eagle was. He only instinctively felt that the golden eagle was powerful.
“It should be the green-eyed golden eagle, right?” Yang Jiang asked uncertainly.
After all, he himself is a legitimate martial artist. As the first person in the Da Xia Nation, Xiao Tian Yuan, he had naturally heard of it, and he was familiar with everything about Xiao Tian Yuan.
But it was merely hearsay; he hadn’t even seen a picture of it.
He was guessing based on its characteristics now.
“Yes!” Yin Wen nodded. The three of them were following behind Xu Mu, and naturally, only she could answer such a question.
“Do you know those three people?” Yang Jiang opened his mouth again to ask.
Zhang Ergou also raised his ears curiously, he was equally curious, just did not think in that direction.
Yin Wen swallowed, calmed down for a while, and then whispered, “The older person is Martial Saint Xiao Tian Yuan, and the people next to him are….”
“What? The Martial Saint?!!”
Yang Jiang’s body shuddered in surprise. Although he had his suspicions, when it was confirmed, his heart still pounded uncontrollably with shock.
Helplessly, Xiao Tian Yuan held too high a position in the hearts of the people of Da Xia Nation.
“Martial Saint Xiao Tian Yuan!!!”
Just like Yang, Zhang Ergou was also shocked, but because he is not a martial artist and has always lived at the bottom of the society. Although he knew that Xiao Tian Yuan was a big-shot, he didn’t mythologize him.
Because he heard fewer rumors, he didn’t have as much fear.
“Should we go and pay him respects when passing by?” Zhang Ergou asked.
“It is better not to!” Yin Wen shook her head.
They were Xu Mu’s subordinates, and it looked like Xiao Tian Yuan and the others were also subdued. If they showed too much closeness or even humility to the others, it would reduce Xu Mu’s status.
“Miss Yin is right! Since the young master did not instruct, we better not create unnecessary trouble.” Yang Jiang said.
He was a veteran, and knew what kind of people masters liked or disliked.
“Okay!”
Zhang Ergou nodded.
Since both of them said so, he naturally wouldn’t stir up trouble.
The four of them quickly arrived in front of the green-eyed golden eagle.
“Teacher, please get on!” Xiao Tian Yuan respectfully said.
“Teacher?”
The three of them felt a bit strange. After all, Xiao Tian Yuan looked more like a teacher compared to Xu Mu, but compared to calling Xu Mu ‘young master’, calling him ‘teacher’ seemed barely acceptable.
After all, learning is endless, and the one who accomplishes great things is the first to learn.
Starting from yesterday, Xiao Tian Yuan began to call Xu Mu a teacher, and Xu Mu didn’t correct him about this opportunistic term.
Originally, he was supposed to be a subordinate and was naturally supposed to call him ‘young master’ or ‘sir’. Now that he was called a teacher, he had become a disciple. His status was naturally much higher than that of a subordinate.
This was probably the limit to which Xiao Tian Yuan could submit. After all, once upon a time, he was the first man in Da Xia Nation. If he had to serve someone else, it would be better to kill him.
A gentleman can be killed but not insulted.
After all, he represented not just himself, but the entire Da Xia Nation.
“Just take the three of them! I don’t need to!” Xu Mu said.
“Huh?”
Hearing this, everyone was somewhat puzzled.
Even if Xu Mu was stronger, in terms of travel speed and comfort, it was hard to surpass the green-eyed golden eagle unless Xu Mu had a better flying mount.
He didn’t leave everyone puzzled for long. Xu Mu snapped his right hand, and a white crane flew out from his arm, its neck craning and singing loudly.
“A flying spirit beast?!!!”
Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded when they saw this.
Could this be Xu Mu’s lifebound beast?
Then what was that humanoid illusion?
They naturally didn’t believe that the humanoid illusion was Xu Mu’s lifebound beast, because it was too far from the norm.
But the crane before their eyes, although its energy wasn’t weak, it was only at the Martial Emperor level. It didn’t seem to match Xu Mu no matter how you looked at it.
Xu Mu didn’t intend to explain to them. The reason he released his spirit beast was just that he didn’t want to squeeze with the rest.
Although the golden eagle was more powerful than the white-haired eagle, it was much smaller in size. With three more people this time, if he were to join them, it would seem a bit crowded.
So he decided to use a bit of his energy and use the spirit beast instead.
Xu Mu jumped onto the back of the white crane spirit beast, sat cross-legged, and the crane immediately flapped its wings and flew high, soon piercing through the clouds.
Xu Mu, with his sleeves fluttering, and the surrounding clouds, along with his handsome and extraordinary face, gave people a feeling as if an immortal had descended to earth.
Xiao Tian Yuan quickly commandeered the golden eagle to chase after him. Except for Zhang Ergou, who was grabbing the eagle’s feathers, everyone else sat steadily on it.
The golden eagle was not like the white eagle; it could release divine skills to protect everyone. Not just strong winds, but even if it were plummeting rapidly, everyone could be as steady as Mount Tai, not repeating the embarrassing situation from before.
“The young master doesn’t seem like a mortal at all!” Yang Jiang sighed.
Everyone looked at Xu Mu in the distance. His fairy-like appearance deeply shocked them.
Even Xiao Tian Yuan had to commend him. Xu Mu was the most extraordinary and free from vulgarity of all the people he had seen in his life.
It was natural for the enemies to feel this way. After all, the original Xu Mu was a cultivator. Some fairy-like qualities were very natural.
Whether it was the golden eagle or Xu Mu’s white crane spirit beast, both of their speeds were extremely fast. In just over an hour, the Imperial City appeared in their line of sight.
