As night fell, a light rain began to fall from the night sky.

In the mountain forest several kilometers away from Cloud Sea Cliff, stood two figures, one tall and one short.

Among them, the tall and burly youth, with rather disheveled hair, had a necklace of Divine Power Pearls around his neck, reminiscent of the court beads worn by ancient ministers.

There was an exceptional number of beads!

In his hand, he held a golden Zen Stick with an especially exquisite design, the head of the stick featuring large rings enclosing small rings, occasionally emitting crisp clinking sounds.

"Jingle~ Clang~"

The burly youth swung the golden Zen Stick and was pacing back and forth in front of a large tree, looking very impatient.

A violent aura filled the surroundings.

The shorter figure was a middle-aged woman, with both a knife and a sword at her waist, also wearing a necklace of Divine Power Pearls, with a considerable number of beads!

Among the various sized Divine Power Pearls, there was a unique bead the size of a ping pong ball.

In the pitch-black environment, the woman's face appeared solemn and her body tense, seemingly wary of the youth.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a sound.

"Flap flap flap~"

It was the sound of a bird flapping its wings!

"Whoosh~" Energy surged in the woman's hand as she picked up a white feather, emitting a glimmering white light.

In the dim glow, the young man and woman saw a pitch-black crow appear in the misty drizzle.

"Boss!" the black crow spoke.

The burly youth couldn't wait any longer, tapping the ground vigorously with the handle of the Zen Stick: "How is it? Is this a sect? What believers are they mainly composed of? Do they have a lot of manpower?"

The youth fired off questions like a barrage, leaving the black crow stammering.

"You damn!" The youth suddenly made a move, grabbing the black crow with a fierce grip, as if he would crush it, "What's taking so long? Speak up!"

The middle-aged woman's heart skipped a beat. Watching the agitated youth beside her, she hastily uttered in a low shout, "Shi Guangwei!"

The woman's low shout had a powerful effect, refreshing the mind and clearing the head.

The youth named Shi Guangwei then released his hand.

The black crow swiftly flew back, transforming into a human form shortly after.

It was a middle-aged man, whose eyes bore a hint of fear as he cautiously said, "I didn't see anyone, the mountain mist was too dense, I dared not get too close for observation..."

"You have Witch Shadow Concealment! What are you afraid of?" Shi Guangwei's previously subdued temper flared up again, "Who could spot you?"

The middle-aged man sensed the trouble and hurriedly said, "Boss, no one dares to break through and advance on the coast alone. There must be a force on the mountain, at least a team."

"Do you want to die?" Shi Guangwei laughed with rage, stepping forward to clutch the man's collar and shake him fiercely, "Do I fucking need you to tell me that?

I'm asking you exactly how many people are there? What believers are they composed of?"

"Gulp." The middle-aged man swallowed hard, his face pale, tilting his face back as much as he could.

A terrifying aura pressed down on him, suffocating him. He quickly looked to the woman beside him, his eyes filled with pleading.

The middle-aged woman finally spoke, "Investigate again! Find out the deployment situation on the mountain, approximately how many people, and their strength!"

"Guangwei, let him go scout again." The woman's tone softened considerably, stepping forward gently to tug on Shi Guangwei's arm.

Shi Guangwei's anger flared, glaring at the middle-aged man, "I give you one more chance! The last chance! Get going!"

The middle-aged man didn't dare to make a sound, immediately transforming into a black crow and entering a stealth state.

"Flap flap flap~"

The sound of wings flapping grew increasingly distant as the invisible black crow flew into the boundless rainy night.

Meanwhile, on Cloud Sea Cliff.

In the eastern central area of the cliff top, stood a towering tree.

The tree had a thick trunk and lush branches.

Among the dense branches, a tall figure was hidden, a woman's long plaited braid coiled around her neck and hung down to her chest.

Luo Ying silently polished the Divine Bow, connecting spiritually with the Divine Weapon.

The Ash Sect did not possess night vision techniques; ever since night fell, Luo Ying became a "blind person."

Fortunately, the Divine Weapon didn't rely on eyes to observe the world; in the dark environment, the Splendid Bow could provide some assistance to its Master.

However, Luo Ying did not entirely rely on the Divine Weapon.

Ash, being a Second-class God, had sect Divine Techniques of incredible strength!

Luo Ying possessed a domain skill - Canglong Sea Domain!

At this moment, centering on Luo Ying, countless small water droplets constantly emerged and descended within a hundred-meter radius, disguised as raindrops and blended into the rainy night.

Each water droplet could gather intelligence within the domain and provide clear feedback to her.

In fact, Divine Technique·Canglong Sea Domain did not only contain water droplets; within the domain, there would also be small Canglongs swimming slowly.

The function of the water droplets and small Canglongs was consistent; both could gather domain intelligence and purify all anomalies within the domain, but compared to the densely packed small water droplets, the purification effect of the small Canglongs was better.

At this moment, Luo Ying did not release the small Canglongs but let them crouch on the branches, hiding them.

After all, the swimming dragons in the rain were too conspicuous and easily detected.

"Hmm?"

Luo Ying was in the midst of bonding with the Divine Weapon, her hand gripping the bow handle suddenly tightened slightly.

Something's up?

What is that...?

Luo Ying furrowed her brows slightly, closed her eyes tightly, and sensed carefully.

Through the constantly descending water droplets, an outline of a bird imprinted in her mind.

A bird?

Though the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm appeared vibrant, it was all a facade, for in the lush green mountain forest, no birds or beasts dwelled!

More critically, Divine Weapon·Splendid Bow did not detect the presence of that bird!

This implied that the bird's concealment skills were extraordinary, even able to hide energy fluctuations.

How could that be?

Any believer, even without deploying Divine Techniques, would emit aura fluctuations.

Luo Ying's mind churned, and she instantly drew a conclusion—Witch Crow Believers!

The Witch Crow Sect's Divine Technique·Witch Shadow Concealment!

This technique, before River Grade, could only render the caster invisible without even concealing the scent.

But River Grade·Witch Shadow Concealment turned Witch Crow Believers into true masters of stealth, without revealing any aura or energy!

Unfortunately, the Witch Crow Believer, which was supposed to be undetectable, encountered an omniscient Divine General of the Ran Sect within the domain!

"Enemy attack!" Luo Ying shouted sharply.

She still had her eyes closed, quickly drawing her bow and nocking an arrow according to the bird-like outline depicted by dense water droplets.

"Twang!"

The bowstring vibrated.

The sudden sound was quite abrupt in the rainy night!

The black crow, like a startled bird, had eyes filled with panic.

It was discovered?!

The sound of the bowstring... was it Ash's believers?

The previously anxious Witch Crow Believer immediately fell into disarray, frantically flapping its wings upwards, attempting to fly away from the area.

Second-class God·Ash believers were not something Witch Crow Believers could contend with!

As expected, the Witch Crow Believer indeed should have been alarmed!

A series of Water Flow Arrows rushed forth, precisely targeting the completely invisible crow amid the misty drizzle.

Ashar Divine Skill·Continuous Sky Bead!

"Flap flap flap~~~"

The black crow frantically flapped its wings, its heart nearly jumping out.

However fast it flew, it couldn't surpass the speed of the arrows!

"Siz!"

The crow flying erratically was pierced through the wing by the leading arrow.

"Whoosh~"

Finally, the energy of the stealth black crow leaked out, enabling it to escape, leaving an avatar with a pierced wing in mid-air.

Witch Crow Divine Skill·Witch Shadow Substitute!

Luo Ying maintained a stoic expression, paying no further heed to the struggling crow, instead searching for any other potential enemies.

Confidence comes from absolute strength!

Sea Grade Divine Skill·Continuous Sky Bead, with up to 32 arrows shot at once.

It was not inferior to the North Wind Sect's Wind Blade or the Sword One Sect's Flying Sword in number!

Nor was it slower in speed compared to the sword blades!

"Caw~~~"

The Witch Crow Believer panicked, shouting uncontrollably.

The Divine Technique·Continuous Sky Bead inherently lacked automatic tracking.

But before shooting the arrows, Luo Ying covered the Splendid Bow with a layer of mist bow shadow—Sea Suppressing Bow!

Arrows shot through with the Divine Technique·Sea Suppressing Bow gained an automatic tracking effect!

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The frantic arrows constantly pierced one black crow after another.

"I surrender, don't kill me, I su... ugh."

The terrified plea abruptly stopped.

A Water Flow Arrow pierced through the black crow's head!

The prerequisite for the Witch Crow Believer to use the Divine Technique·Witch Shadow Substitute was that they hadn't suffered mortal wounds.

And the arrow that pierced through the bird's head directly cut off the chance for further struggle.

"Siz! Siz! Siz..."

Dozens of arrows darted back and forth, rendering the black crow incapable of even dropping straight down.

It was flung around by the piercing attacks, its body ruthlessly destroyed.

During this process, the black crow returned to human form, its body filled with bloody holes!

"What happened?" Lu Ran arrived under the tree.

"A Witch Crow Believer came to scout, there are probably enemies nearby!" a voice came from high up the tree, coming from Luo Ying.

Numerous Water Flow Arrows shattered and dissipated, as a corpse riddled with holes fell heavily to the ground.

"Which direction did it come from?"

"From the east, flew over from the sea side."

Lu Ran quickly flashed onto the tree, constantly observing, but thick fog surrounded everywhere, obstructing visibility.

He looked somewhat unpleasant, asking in a deep voice, "Are there any other enemies around?"

Is it really so hard to break through and level up peacefully in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm?

Luo Ying immediately responded, "So far, no signs have been found. Sect Leader, should I activate the Canglong Sea Domain to search around?"

"Go ahead, and report any findings immediately." With another flash, Lu Ran stood beside the corpse.

With a flip of his hand, a mass of black mist was conjured in his palm.

Soul-splitting Demon Evil Technique·Soul Prison!

The soul captured by the Pupil of the Dead World was intercepted at that moment.

"You... I, you all..." On the mass of black mist, a face filled with terror emerged.

Clearly, the man hadn't recovered from the fear of death.

Lu Ran looked at the imprisoned Dead Soul in his palm, his face growing darker:

"Quite the timing, huh?"
