Chapter (19)
A moment ago, Prince Li Bai and Ming Xiao Bo came out of the White peacock's office but they encountered a fuss.
'So he used the cultivators to escape! Shrewd demon.' The prince thought.
"What is this commotion for?"
The prince yelled and approached.
"They called Brother Wu Yuhang a demon."
Feng Feiyu expressed while keeping Wu Yuhang behind him not to hurt those idiots who accused him; his casted spell was above his palm to protect his superior Lord.
"We clarified that he is not a demon but they didn't listen to us and asked him to reveal his totem."
Prince Jinhai complained; it was an insult to ask someone to bring out their spirit animal.
"We sense the dark aura of a heretic demon. How do you expect us to discard the matter?" One of the men exclaimed, holding his sword tight.
The prince spun around to Xue Mountain's disciples and bowed his head, bringing his hands together and serving them with esteem, "I am sorry for the misunderstanding, a squirrel demon had caused this."
Everyone began to whisper how he figured it out and why they didn't realize it.
The Lords loathed to see the crown prince lowering himself but they were warned that no one should discover who they were, their identity should be secured during every mission. Therefore, they didn't interfere with his decision.
The disciple who sounded to be in charge of the group walked to the prince, "Any proof?"
The prince removed the invisible spell paper that was tagged to Wu Yuhang's back. To be honest, he was astonished to see that the squirrel used such a trick. The demon was familiar with dark magic which could benefit them. He couldn't be more glad that this secret was disclosed to him.
However, these disciples still had meager grades and couldn't recognize this dark invisible spell paper. The prince was wondering how they could urge to find the Moon Bird Egg. That item would never be left unprotected without a potent guard.
"Because of this invisible dark spell you were distracted, it is named 'blindfold' enchantment." The piece of yellow paper with red spells scribbled on it hovered in the air and was presented to the men, a dark aura wafted out of it.
One of the disciples pointed to the paper, "Dark aura spell, I felt this."
"Now that we are all settled, I have to take care of a matter."
To keep everyone safe, the prince burned the dark spell.
"We appreciate your help, superior."
Although the young man was curious about this cultivator's originality, he didn't get a chance to ask his name.
After solving the problem, the prince quickly left and his lords followed him.
A disciple turned to their superior and asked, "Are they here to find the Moon Bird egg?"
The superior was looking at them suspiciously, "I have no clue but we must move now." Whoever they were, he sensed their strong spiritual essence as soon as the dark aura was eliminated.
Back to the prince and his men, they were proceeding like a flash of light.
"Did you let Dishi escape, deliberately?" asked Feng Feiyu.
"Yes, he claimed to be loyal." The prince was certain that he would run away so he planned to make him more obligated to his team.
"Xiao Bo, take him." Li Bai ordered and the Lord immediately obeyed and transformed to his totem shape.

Wang Hua put her palm on her forehead, that sturdy chest was as if a rock.
As she looked up, she found herself before the gate of the Shenghuo village. She was very indignant and did not realize that she had chased the squirrel demon here.
"Hey, are you blind?"
She growled as her eyes rolled at the person to meet an otherworldly handsome young man. Wang Hua swallowed and regretted speaking like that.
But quickly warned herself to be wary, so with a few wobbling strides, she kept herself upright.
"She is ugly." Feng Feiyu voiced.
"What is she exactly?"
Prince Jinhai commented when he found no way to place this hag in any variety.
She took in the surroundings after pushing up her long eyebrows and discovered four other men, they looked dangerous and clad in black. All of them were handsome indeed but the one she struck was different. More hazardous and robust that she was hardly breathing because of his heavy aura.
Yet, they insulted her and looked down on her with disgusted and scornful expressions which meant she could never trust strangers like them.
He was peering at her and quickly his eyes widened.
'You are a young girl.'
Due to his cultivation grade, he was capable of recognizing enchantment types and elixirs. Those who utilized them externally had different spiritual essences.
"Nanny, let go of my nanny!"
It was Yu Jia Yi's voice. She was approaching while barely leading the horse with a compelling attempt. Pulling the lariat and crying out for her Lady.
As she got close, the man with red hair grabbed her by the nape as if she was a light leaf and brought her up.
"Are you truly a man?" he questioned as soon as he brought the young man close to sniff him. "Both of them consumed transformation elixirs. This one has a source of Dove spiritual core and that one..."
The Lord could eventually smell it and divulged their secret. Yet, Lord Wu Yuhang could sense nothing about the hag and suspected that she might have been concealing it due to mischievous motives.
"That one can be a mighty dark witch," he concluded.
"A witch? Are you dumb, she is not a witch. Let go of me!"
Yu Jia Yi struggled to release herself from this man's grip; her actions and screaming were more like a girl rather than a young robust man that she disguised as one.
"Who are you?"
Luo Hao Yu shouted and drew out his sword.
"Wait!"
Li Bai stretched his arm out to stop his man and Wang Hua sensed danger, gripped her sword's hilt and slid it up, not giving up, and kept her guard up.
"Don't even dare to touch me."
She warned but the indifferent man didn't listen. He was emitting an aura of apparent nobility.
