t instinctively doing it."Could there still be a ghost down there that hasn't come out" After waiting for another ten minutes without seeing Wan Jiayi's soul, Xiao Yu thought to himself.At this moment...Chapter 708: Meeting the Golden Eagle Again

Just like that old man living on Mount Everest, he was a peak late-stage Breath Cultivator. Although these elders hadn’t personally witnessed Xiao Yu’s prowess, they had seen the old man from Mount Everest in action. Though there might only be a hair's breadth difference between them and him, their strength was at least two times inferior.

Actually, if it were before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, such mountains would have been no more than flatlands to late-stage Breath Cultivators. But now, with the scarcity of external world’s primordial qi, the amount that these late-stage cultivators could communicate with from the outside was extremely sparse, making their combat strength dozens of times weaker.

After all, what they could currently display as strength was merely their own power and communication with the thin primordial qi in the external world. Before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, however, they would be able to showcase their true power alongside several times more primordial qi than their body contained.

Xiao Yu watched these elders quickly ascend the mountain path and frowned slightly. There was nothing he couldn’t do by himself, and it would even be quite effortless for him since he didn’t cultivate with Heaven and Earth’s primordial qi; his cultivation hadn’t suffered any discount due to this. As such, even Mount Everest's peak wouldn't pose much difficulty.

However, now there was Dai Yuxin along as well. Although her constitution was special, she had only just started training and didn’t have the same opportunities as Xiao Yu. Hence, it would be extremely difficult for her to climb up here; she might even not be as skilled as a professional mountain climber.

After all, Dai Yuxin was still in her mid-teens and had only been training for a short time. But given some time, once she managed to refine part of the solidified yin qi within her body, her strength would rapidly increase. It wouldn’t be impossible for her to surpass these people within one or two years.

“Goo goo goo…” As these elders were climbing forward, suddenly a bird’s chirping sounded in the sky.

Hearing this avian call, Xiao Yu and others all looked up towards the heavens. The elderly climbers on the cliff walls also turned to face the sky upon hearing it.

When they saw that there was an enormous golden eagle soaring in the sky, their faces couldn’t help but change. Though these elders rarely visited Tibet, they still had some understanding of the golden eagles' habits, so they knew that this golden eagle might very well target them for its attack.

If they were dealing with ordinary golden eagles, they wouldn't be afraid. However, a golden eagle king nearly three meters in size made them feel slightly uneasy.

They realized that if they weren't careful, they would fall down. Such a distance meant certain death even for them at their current cultivation level.

"Master, look at the golden eagle! When we came here earlier, I saw one golden eagle and wasn't sure if it was the same one. But they are all so big!" Dai Yuxin heard the bird's call and looked up. Upon seeing the golden eagle above them, she couldn’t help but shout.

Such a large golden eagle was unprecedented in her life; to her, these huge birds were undoubtedly divine creatures like those on the Divine Eagle Peak.

"Haha, it's that one!" Xiao Yu was also watching this golden eagle. Hearing Dai Yuxin’s words, he smiled and confirmed.

When Xiao Yu heard the bird call earlier, his first glance told him it was indeed the same eagle as before. He had closely observed the eagle in the morning. Even though they were far away now, Xiao Yu's eyesight would never miss such details.

"Oh!" Dai Yuxin froze hearing this and looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression. She knew that Xiao Yu was meditating when the golden eagle appeared earlier, so he couldn't have seen it clearly then. How could he be sure if she herself wasn’t entirely certain This left her very confused.

Suddenly, as if sensing the elders on the cliff face, the soaring golden eagle called out and dove towards them.

These elders were already wary of the golden eagle's attack. A normal one wouldn't have been a concern, but this golden eagle with wings nearly three meters wide was undoubtedly a king among eagles. They weren’t worried about an attack from flat ground, but up here on the cliff face, they could barely move for fear of falling.

Thus, when seeing the diving eagle, their expressions changed slightly.

However, these elders wouldn't just sit and wait for their demise. When they saw the golden eagle diving towards them, each of them used one hand to cling onto the cliff while using the other hand to draw arcane symbols in the air.

At this moment, not a single one of them was careless. Although they had confidence in their talismans, the golden eagle's speed was too fast for them to know if these talismans could harm it. Originally, this nearly three-meter-tall golden eagle wasn't an ordinary creature.

If their talismans didn’t work as expected, that would be very troublesome indeed. Therefore, these elders exchanged glances and saw helplessness in each other’s eyes. They never imagined they’d encounter a golden eagle at this moment; if not for wanting to see Xiao Yu, they wouldn't have chosen this route. After all, there were multiple ways to reach the elder's place, but they had temporarily picked this path just to silently observe Xiao Yu.

But unexpectedly, these people would encounter such a golden eagle. In Tibet, even snow leopards weren’t its match.

Moreover, Xiao Yu understood that such a golden eagle must have experienced some extraordinary encounters, otherwise it wouldn't be able to grow so large; usually, even the king of golden eagles was only two-thirds its size.

"Thump thump......" Suddenly, there were two muffled sounds in the sky, followed by a miserable cry.

When this golden eagle dived towards them, these elders’ talismans shot toward it. Although these talismans were invisible and intangible, as if sensing their presence, the eagle dodged several of them but still got hit by two.

However, after emitting a miserable cry, the golden eagle seemed unaffected at all; spinning around once mid-air, its ferocity was ignited, revealing murderous intent in its eyes as it charged towards these elders again.

The elders turned pale seeing this and didn't expect that their talismans had little effect on the golden eagle. If it were to counterattack them after enduring a moment, they would be very dangerous indeed.

Xiao Yu also noticed all of this; he knew that if these elders were attacked by the golden eagle at such an altitude and fell accidentally, the consequences would be extremely severe.

"Be careful..." When Dai Yuxin saw the golden eagle charging towards these elders, she couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Yu heard Dai Yuxin's cry and glanced at her before looking up to the sky. Upon seeing this huge golden eagle, Xiao Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, revealing a hint of joy on his face as an invisible ripple emanated from him towards the golden eagle in the sky.

When this invisible force reached the golden eagle's mind, the eagle that was diving suddenly paused and flapped its wings to soar into the air, circling around.

The voice that had just entered its mind was very familiar. In the morning, it was the master of this voice who stood on its back, giving it an overwhelming feeling. Now that it heard this voice again, it looked cautiously in all directions.

When it saw Xiao Yu standing below, its eyes slightly narrowed, and a trace of fear flashed across them. However, the golden eagle quickly reacted, flapping its wings to fly away.

At that moment, when Xiao Yu saw the golden eagle trying to fly away, an invisible force shot out again. When this wave entered the eagle's mind, it couldn't help but stop and circle in midair once more; after a while, it dove down slightly towards Xiao Yu.

The elders on the cliff were about to shout for caution when they saw the golden eagle heading towards Xiao Yu. However, upon remembering Xiao Yu’s cultivation level, they held their tongues. Moreover, since Xiao Yu was standing on the ground and not on a cliff like them, with his current cultivation level, he had nothing to fear from this golden eagle, let alone any of them would be afraid if they were on the ground.

"Master, be careful!" Dai Yuxin also saw the diving golden eagle. The closer it got to the ground, the more she felt its size; thus, she called out to Xiao Yu.

"Haha, everything's fine, don't worry," Xiao Yu chuckled upon hearing Dai Yuxin’s voice.

When this golden eagle was still about ten meters above the ground, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, causing dust and small pebbles to fly up.." After saying that, he walked to the roadside and got into a military Humvee. The vehicle roared and drove away towards the distance.Upon getting off the car, Li Shirong and his wife saw Zhang Dahai...
