Chapter 698 - 457: Oppressing the Imperial Authority Must Be Annihilated! (Double - )
"Young Master!" Su Qingqing spoke first.
Song Ping’an and A Da, A Er, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief. With Song Changming returning at this moment, they felt as if they had found their backbone and were much more at ease.
"What happened?" Song Changming descended, looking at the Little Yellow Bird still erupting with flames, and frowned as he asked.
The Hawk Demon’s demon power did not exert any aggressiveness toward him, which confirmed the opponent’s status as an ally.
"Young Master, this group of people suddenly barged into the residence and tried to harm us, injuring Xiaohuang in the process. Fortunately, Qingqing..."
Song Ping’an explained the cause and effect to Song Changming.
Hearing this, Song Changming’s expression turned colder.
He really didn’t expect that amidst the fierce struggle between the Prince’s Mansion Military Department and the Changsheng Su Family, the people from the Su Family would still ’care’ about his inconspicuous Song Residence.
Fortunately, Su Qingqing arrived in time, sparing the lives of his household members from disaster.
But this Xiaohuang...
Song Changming looked at the source of the soaring flames.
The Little Yellow Bird was bathed in flames and golden light, continuously emitting vast amounts of flame energy.
If it weren’t for the Hawk Demon’s demon power protecting the courtyard, it might have long turned to ashes under the force of that powerful flame energy.
In Song Changming’s perception, the Little Yellow Bird’s aura was still there, and its vital signs were clear, appearing to be merely unconscious.
As for the flames being released, it seemed more like an out-of-control result.
Song Changming also didn’t expect that the Little Yellow Bird, which usually could only spit little sparks, actually harbored such powerful flame power within its body.
Having confirmed that the Little Yellow Bird was temporarily unharmed, Song Changming’s gaze shifted to the Hawk Demon that suddenly appeared beside it.
He had seen this Great Demon several times in the past.
Compared to many years ago, the Hawk Demon’s appearance hadn’t changed, but its aura and demon power were significantly stronger than before.
It looked cold and appeared to be not easy to provoke.
As for why this Hawk Demon appeared, it wasn’t too difficult to guess at the moment.
After all, the opponent’s attention was mostly focused on the Little Yellow Bird, clearly coming for it as well.
Song Changming’s attention fell on the white bird on its shoulder.
The Little White Bird had been freeloading here for years, inseparable from the Little Yellow Bird.
Now, it seemed, this seemingly ordinary Little White Bird was clearly sent by the Hawk Demons.
About this, Song Changming wasn’t too surprised.
Back then, when the Little White Bird summoned the Hawk Demon to resolve a crisis for him, it already led him to deduce a certain connection between the Hawk Demon and the Little White Bird.
Now, this just confirmed that point.
"How is Xiaohuang’s condition?" Song Changming straightforwardly asked the Hawk Demon.
Although he had been with the Little Yellow Bird for many years, he might not know more about it than this Great Demon.
The Hawk Demon’s pale golden eyes looked at Song Changming, its expression unruffled.
But for some reason, the Hawk Demon’s gaze at him did not feel like that towards a stranger, there wasn’t much distance in it.
"It was stimulated, the bloodline further awakened," the Hawk Demon replied.
"So, is this a blessing in disguise, a good thing?" After hearing this, Song Changming couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes."
The Hawk Demon’s voice carried little emotion and responded calmly.
Hearing this, Song Changming felt a bit relieved.
At this moment, many Martial Arts Powerhouses and Noble Family ancestors in the city also extended their spiritual perception over to the Song Residence.
Whether it was the fiery pillar anomaly caused by the Little Yellow Bird’s awakened bloodline or the abrupt intrusion of the Hawk Demon, both drew their particular attention.
It’s just that the current chaos and strife in the city weren’t just limited to the Song Residence; coupled with the fact that the Hawk Demon wasn’t easy to provoke, those powerhouses in the city were temporarily just observing with no intention to confront the Hawk Demon.
After confirming that the Little Yellow Bird was temporarily unharmed, Song Changming likewise diffused some of his restored spiritual power throughout the city, taking in the whole situation.
It can only be said that the Changsheng Su Family is truly full of powerful figures, even without a Martial Arts Grandmaster to hold the fort, they can still contend with the Prince’s Mansion and Military Department.
The Su Family powerhouses in the Innate Perfection Realm, generation after generation, wave after wave, seem to come in mass production, countless in number.
Had it not been pushed to this extent, no one could have imagined that the Changsheng Family had such deep foundations, so powerful!
The only advantage the Prince’s Mansion and Military Department have over the Changsheng Su Family is in numbers.
If it weren’t for the numbers, the Prince’s Mansion might have already fallen.
"Young Master, are you hurt?"
While Song Changming was observing the entire city’s situation, Su Qingqing, noticing Song Changming’s somewhat low spirits at the moment, thought that he was injured again, and severely at that, immediately proposed using the Heaven Cutting Technique on him once more.
"No need, I’m not injured, just a bit drained, nothing serious." Song Changming shook his head.
This naive girl was only concerned about him, despite previously exhausting herself to the point of fainting due to the Heaven Cutting Technique. Song Changming couldn’t bring himself to deplete Su Qingqing any further at this moment.
Moreover, although Su Qingqing’s Heaven Cutting Technique could heal injuries, it couldn’t compensate for others’ consumption and overexertion.
"Qingqing, take Ping’an and everyone from the residence and leave here, no, leave the city entirely, and get as far away as possible!" Song Changming then instructed.
The commotion caused by the Little Yellow Bird’s bloodline awakening was too great, and he couldn’t predict what might happen next, nor whether his residence could be preserved.
He simply decided to evacuate everyone around him, leaving no worries behind.
Given the current city chaos, where the imperial family camp he belonged to and the Changsheng family’s confrontation had reached the most critical point, it was safest for Su Qingqing and the others to leave the city.
