Chapter 2212 - 2213: Aozhan Clan

The elven tribe fired another volley at the Lightning Bird, but how could they possibly injure it? As soon as the Lightning Bird flew slightly higher, their arrows couldn't hit it.

Alice was wondering what to do, when suddenly Northern Spiritual Energy shot towards the Lightning Bird.

This Northern Spiritual Energy was extremely fast and carried demon-breaking energy.

Alice was shocked in her heart. Her short sword emitted a wave of spiritual energy, heading towards the incoming energy.

Clang!

After the clash of spiritual energies dissipated, Alice discovered that the energy was hiding a very powerful arrow.

This arrow was evidently quite different, over a meter in length, and as thick as a stick, with a handle on top.

This means the arrow is a weapon used by a person's hand.

The arrow came towards Alice, and her short sword could only slow its speed, but could not stop the attack.

At this moment, the Lightning Bird slightly flapped its wings, directly knocking the arrow away, sending it flying off on its own.

Suddenly, a person stood on spiritual energy and flew up.

"Let the person ahead remain behind."

This person flew up from below, blocking in front of the Lightning Bird.

"Brother Ao Long, is it really you? Why didn't you look at who it was before attacking me?"

Alice said to the person.

Upon hearing Alice's words, the person looked at her and laughed: "Who would have thought it was you, little sister? What are you doing here?"

This person, named Ao Long, is an outstanding figure among the young generation of the Ao Elf Clan, and one of Alice's peers at the Supreme Divine Palace.

He's also one of Alice's pursuers; since they're both from the elf tribe, he pursued her fiercely during their studies at the Supreme Divine Palace.

However, because of Ao Long's odd appearance and Alice's lack of affection towards him, she didn't agree to his pursuit—besides, there were many suitors like Ao Long.

Ao Long didn't have any remarkable advantages other than belonging to the elf tribe.

Alice said, "I come and go as I please in the Foreign Land. Who are you to question what I'm doing? Besides, you can't just attack anyone you see here—what if you hit the wrong person?"

Ao Long approached Alice and said, "It's my fault, my fault. But you can't blame me entirely. It's an order from the Third Protector; to attack any big flying bird in the air.

They say it's a humans' mount, and there's a reward for slaying its rider. I had no idea you had such a big bird as your mount, little sister."

Alice certainly wasn't aware of any enmity between Ling Zhenfei and Shanlingzi. She was initially very confident but was now having second thoughts.

It seems that Ling Zhenfei has grudges with many foreign races, including the Third Protector Shanlingzi, which makes things complicated.

Thinking about Ling Zhenfei in the nearby cave, if these people discover him, he is doomed.

Alice said, "There are many bird riders, not just him. By the way, how's the situation on the battlefield now, Brother?"

Ao Long responded, "Don't mention it—the humans are too formidable; we'll hardly be able to hold on. Although they have suffered too, their individual combat ability surpasses ours, and they know how to cooperate.

Moreover, humans are cunning and frequently use strategies to lure us, causing us significant losses. Fortunately, we are archers, so our losses aren't as severe."

Alice said, "Doesn't the Supreme God intend to punish these humans? Are we just going to let them run wild at the entrance to the Supreme Divine Palace?"

Ao Long said, "I suppose the Supreme God has his own plans. He doesn't pay attention to such clowns."

Alice said, "If that's true, the Supreme God should act sooner, so we don't suffer such heavy losses."

Ao Long said, "The Supreme God must have special considerations. Who knows? By the way, what are you doing here? What was that thing you were carrying earlier?"

Alice felt slightly worried—the Ao Elf Clan had already noticed her presence and seen there was someone else.

Alice said, "It's nothing. Just a wounded ally from our tribe who needs healing here."

Ao Long said, "You shouldn't leave someone in a cave like that; it's too dangerous. How about you hand the wounded ally over to us? We have excellent doctors who can help treat him."

Alice knew that if Ao Long saw Ling Zhenfei, it would be hard to keep it a secret, so he must not be discovered.

Alice said, "No need. Sister Anna has already helped with treatment. He only needs quiet to recover; please don't disturb him."

Ao Long said skeptically, "That's for the best. How about we go down and talk? Flying on such a big bird must be tiring."

Alice said, "No, I have very important matters to attend to. Sister Anna is waiting for me. How about I pick up Sister Anna, and we come to you so we three can catch up—how does that sound?"

Ao Long said, "That sounds great. I'll wait for you here."

Alice was secretly pleased—who would have thought Ao Long would be so easily deceived? He's such a fool.

Alice said, "Then I'll take my leave now."

Immediately after, she was about to leave but suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, the person in the cave needs peace to heal; please do not disturb him."

Ao Long said, "Of course. Not only will I not disturb him, but I'll also make sure others don't go in."

Alice said, "That's good; I'm off."

After saying that, Alice urged the Lightning Bird to fly towards the distant forest.

As she was on the way, Alice suddenly felt something was off. Why would Ao Long be so easily tricked?

Ao Long is renowned within the Supreme Divine Palace; how could he be dismissed with just a few words?

Thinking of this, Alice hurriedly commanded the Lightning Bird to fly back towards the cave in haste.

When she reached the cave entrance, she found a few members of the Ao Elf Clan standing guard nearby, seemingly watching over the cave.

It appeared Ao Long truly believed Alice's words.

Upon seeing Alice return, Ao Long came forward and said, "Little sister, why have you come back?"

Alice was at a loss for words, quickly saying, "It's nothing; I forgot to ask Brother a question."

Ao Long said, "Feel free to ask anything, little sister."

Alice was very anxious internally but spoke lightly, not knowing what question she should ask.

Alice asked, "I heard that Brother Ao Long's family arranged a marriage when you were young. Is it about to be fulfilled soon?"
