Chapter 320: Heaven’s Destiny

As Li Fan was locked in by the skinny stick’s gaze, a warning sign suddenly arose in his Heart-Nature.

At this moment, Xu Ke, who was telepathically connected with Li Fan, also reacted.

Shielding Li Fan behind him, Xu Ke said with a nervous face, “Song Yang? What do you want to do?”

Perhaps the chaotic scene, which was rare in the Beast Taming Sect for hundreds of years, gave him courage, as Song Yang no longer pretended, but instead said viciously, “I really don’t understand why a fool like you has such good Luck!”

“What do you think I want to do? Of course, it’s to take back what should belong to me!”

Song Yang revealed his fierce nature, his eyes filled with Killing Intent.

And his companion Spirit Beast, the Twin-Headed Black Snake, also moved constantly from the ground and slowly approached at his signal.

Xu Ke’s face was full of horror, and he kept retreating, saying, “Senior Brother Song, have you misunderstood something! I’ve never taken anything that belongs to you…”

While saying this, Xu Ke still stood in front of Li Fan, trying to block Song Yang’s gaze.

His small actions naturally couldn’t escape Song Yang, who said with a mocking expression, “Kid, stop pretending. Hand over the ownership of the Heavenly Fate Blackbird to me, and I can spare your life. Otherwise…”

Song Yang snorted coldly, “Don’t blame me for not considering our fellow Sect members’ affection. You must know the pain of extracting essence Bloodline and forcibly transferring a companion Spirit Beast, right?”

Xu Ke heard this and was a little flustered, “Song Yang! Plundering a fellow Sect member’s Spirit Beast is a great taboo in the Sect! How dare you…”

Song Yang impatiently interrupted Xu Ke, “You’re truly foolish beyond belief, at a time like this, you’re still talking about the Sect. Haven’t you seen that the Beast Taming Sect can’t even protect itself now?!”

His patience also seemed to have been exhausted, and he no longer bothered with superfluous words, directly ordering, “Black Spirit, go!”

The black twin-headed snake had long been ready to strike, and now that Song Yang gave the order, its body straightened slightly.

From the mouth of the snake head with open eyes, a black venom shot out.

The black water was like an arrow, about to land on Xu Ke.

Xu Ke stepped on the wind, his body turned sharply, and he narrowly dodged it.

The black water landed on the ground, making sizzling sounds.

Xu Ke glanced at it, and his face turned pale.

Not only were all the plants corroded, but even the stones could not withstand the venom’s erosion.

He had not yet comprehended protective Spiritual Qi, and if he were hit, he would probably be dead or crippled.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke pulled something from his embrace and threw it fiercely towards Song Yang and the twin-headed snake.

He then took out a white feather from his embrace, wanting to summon a crane to flee.

However, Song Yang seemed to have been prepared long ago.

The hidden weapon Xu Ke released hadn’t even exploded yet when it was caught by a green light and fixed in the air.

Among the black snake’s twin heads, the one that had been tightly closed suddenly opened its eyes.

It emitted a black light, which directly hit the immortal crane feather.

The white crane feather seemed to burn, turning into ashes and drifting down.

“It’s useless, Xu Ke. To deal with you, I’ve made full preparations. I’ve been secretly tracking you for several months; I know all your methods!”

“What do you have to fight me with?!” Song Yang looked at Xu Ke as if he were looking at a dead man.

The next second, another stream of venom shot out from the black snake’s mouth.

It was about to land on Xu Ke, who was unable to dodge due to the intense shock to his Heart-Nature.

At the critical moment of life and death, a white light suddenly shot out from behind, directly confronting the black venom.

The poisonous water that could corrode hard stone seemed to be no match for this white light.

The moment it was touched, it all disappeared.

The white light’s power remained undiminished, rushing straight towards the twin-headed black snake.

The closed-eyed snake head opened its eyes again, and black light burst forth, barely blocking the white light.

While Song Yang was shocked, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

“Heavenly Mandate Profound Light!”

“The Heavenly Fate Blackbird is indeed extraordinary; even in its infancy, it can directly contend with Black Spirit. If it were in its complete form…”

“The most important thing is its companion Divine Ability, [Heavenly Mandate is Mine].”

Song Yang looked at the dispirited Li Fan, and his desire to seize the Heavenly Fate Blackbird grew even stronger.

“Are you alright?” Seizing the time created by the pulling force of that Profound Light, Xu Ke ran quickly, fleeing into the distance.

However, the disparity in strength between him and Song Yang was too great; it wouldn’t be long before he would be caught.

At this moment, Xu Ke did not first worry about his own life and safety.

Instead, he looked at Li Fan with heartache, who had overdrawn his innate Divine Ability to save his life.

“So weak, one attack is the limit.”

In his drowsiness, Li Fan thought helplessly.

He didn’t even have the strength to scratch Xu Ke with his claws; Li Fan just let out a soft cry, indicating that he was temporarily fine.

Just now, seeing Xu Ke’s life threatened, as his companion Spirit Beast, Li Fan suddenly awakened the memories in his Bloodline and used [Heavenly Mandate Profound Light] to save him.

Thus, Li Fan learned the identity of the strange bird he possessed.

Heavenly Fate Blackbird.

The Heavenly Fate Blackbird’s own strength was often not powerful, but it had one ability that made all other exotic beasts and even Cultivators extremely envious and desirous of possessing it.

That was to condense and enhance Luck.

The concept of Luck was not ethereal but truly existed.

Some Cultivators, with excellent talent and Heart-Nature, just lacked that little bit of Luck, ultimately perishing on their Dao path and dying with regret.

And the Heavenly Fate Blackbird could help the object it recognized to change its Fate against the heavens.

Furthermore, as the Heavenly Fate Blackbird’s strength continuously increased, its ability to condense Luck would also become stronger.

Eventually, it could even transform from “changing Luck” to “changing Fate.”

This is what [Heavenly Mandate is Mine] means.

The master of the Heavenly Fate Blackbird is the Son of Heavenly Mandate.

Turning misfortune into fortune and encountering continuous fortuitous encounters are common occurrences.

“No wonder that skinny stick wants to catch me so badly.”

“So, this strange bird I possess is a hot commodity.”

“Luck…”

The exhausted Li Fan forced his eyes open and tried to use the Divine Ability he had just awakened.

Looking towards Xu Ke, he saw a purple-gold light shoot up from his spiritual intellect, soaring into the sky.

Although there were one or two black smoke trails swirling around him at this time, they could not obscure the noble aura of the purple-gold light.

“Oh? This kid…”

“It turns out that good people naturally have good fortune. Instead, I was being meddlesome.”

“And I consumed so much stamina.”

In his annoyance, Li Fan bit Xu Ke hard.

But because he was too weak, it was like a tickle, causing no pain or itching.

Xu Ke, who was desperately fleeing, didn’t even notice at this moment.

Because Song Yang, who was eyeing him covetously from behind, was already about to catch up.

Just as Xu Ke was exhausted and on the verge of despair, he suddenly saw a bewildered Azure Luan Bird standing not far ahead.

Lying at its feet seemed to be the corpse of its original master.

Seeing this, Xu Ke’s heart was filled with joy.

He leaped to the Azure Luan Bird’s side, embraced it with both arms, and rode on it.

At the same time, he shouted loudly, “Xiao Qing, let’s go!”

And that Azure Luan Bird suddenly shuddered, instinctively spreading its wings.

With a gentle flap, it soared into the sky, high into the clouds.
