The black crows pursued Feng Qingcheng relentlessly.
The fleeing cultivators noticed the anomaly and stopped, looking in Feng Qingcheng's direction. "Look quickly, this flock of black crows seems to be chasing only Feng Qingcheng."
The black crows did not attack other cultivators. They flapped their wings and closely pursued Feng Qingcheng.
Wang Junzhao stopped, staring at the scene in astonishment. "Even if I stand here motionless, the black crows don't bite me, they only bite Qingcheng jie."
The black crows flew directly past Di Wenbin, as if they hadn't seen anyone there.
Si Xinxin and A Xi stood far off to the side.
Watching the scene unfold, A Xi couldn't help but click his tongue, his cheeks filled with emotion.
He had personally experienced the power of these black crows; even he had almost been pecked by these madly behaving birds.
Offending the young lady was truly terrifying...
Si Xinxin's tender face and eyes were filled with excitement. Her gaze was fixed on Feng Qingcheng's location, and she softly muttered, "Peck her! Peck her hard!"
Mother had suffered much injustice because of Feng Qingcheng.
Compared to the grievances Mother had endured, being pecked by black crows a few times was nothing.
She couldn't do much for Mother, but she wanted to do her best.
Even if it was just to give Feng Qingcheng a taste of her own medicine, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Ah! What's going on! Why are they only rushing at me!"
Feng Qingcheng already held a long sword in her hand, resisting with all her might, trying to drive away the black crows.
She even deliberately rushed towards areas with more people, hoping these damned crows would attack others.
Seeing Feng Qingcheng charging towards them, the cultivators quickly scattered.
But in the end, these people found that the black crows only attacked Feng Qingcheng. Even if they stood still, the crows wouldn't bother them.
This made Feng Qingcheng even more furious. She swung her long sword and slashed fiercely at the black crows!
As the sword fell, the black crows flapped their wings and quickly dodged. After a moment, the flock of crows charged again, extending their beaks towards Feng Qingcheng, letting out mournful cries.
Caw— caw—
Feng Qingcheng, terrified, took to her heels and quickly raised her hand to shield her face.
Her face was what mattered most to her now.
Hei Li had turned her body into something neither human nor ghost, a rotting mess. She had to protect the remaining part of her face!
"Why are these black crows only chasing Qingcheng jie?"
"Yes, there are so many people here, and they don't peck us even if we stand still. Did Feng Qingcheng stir up a hornet's nest of crows?"
The cultivators exclaimed, looking at the scene with puzzled eyes.
They wanted to help, but their hands were tied.
The cultivators feared that if they intervened, they would become the new targets of the black crows.
Feng Qingcheng ran wildly, her hair disheveled, her hairpins askew.
In this state, she was completely different from her usual cold and elegant demeanor.
Feng Qingcheng, however, paid little attention, her only thought being to escape for her life.
Wang Junzhao quickly called out to the disciples, "Let's go and see, maybe we can help!"
After all, it was Feng Qingcheng being besieged by black crows.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect no longer hesitated and followed closely.
In a short while, the cultivators in the courtyard had dispersed one by one.
Si Xinxin's small face broke into a bright smile. She confidently stepped forward. "A Xi, let's go join the fun and see where she's running to."
Looking at the small figure before him, A Xi couldn't help but shiver.
As expected of Si Jianye's offspring, their temperament was indeed tormenting.
"Ah! Someone save me!"
Feng Qingcheng ran wildly, crying out continuously.
Her cries also attracted the attention of everyone in the Immortal Sect.
Tang Zun was drawn over, his facial features furrowed tightly. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the scene. "Qingcheng, what happened?"
Feng Qingcheng knew Tang Zun could save her, so she ran straight towards him.
Her face was contorted in distress, and she quickly said, "Master, these blind black crows have been chasing me for some reason! Please, Master, save me!"
The black crows continued to caw around Feng Qingcheng.
How could Tang Zun bear to see his precious disciple suffer? He raised his horsetail whisk, and a powerful spiritual energy struck the black crows fiercely.
In the crowd, Si Xinxin playfully blinked her eyes and snapped her fingers. The flock of black crows seemed to have received a summons and quickly flew away, flapping their wings.
In a moment, the black crows had vanished without a trace.
Feng Qingcheng leaned weakly against a large tree, gasping with lingering fear. "Master, thank goodness you came in time."
Tang Zun's gaze fell upon Feng Qingcheng.
At this moment, Feng Qingcheng's clothes were disheveled and in a mess. There were even several scratches on her face.
Tang Zun's brows furrowed, and he said in a low voice, "Qingcheng, go change your clothes and wash your face."
The surrounding cultivators were stunned, their feet seemingly glued to the ground, staring fixedly at the scene.
Although Feng Qingcheng was chased by black crows, causing her to become so disheveled, her current appearance was even more pathetic than a beggar's.
Feng Qingcheng then realized something and quickly lowered her eyes to look at herself.
Her clothes were torn and tattered in places by the crows' pecking, and even her undergarments had a small hole.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she hurried away.
In the eyes of the world, she was the most beautiful woman in Jinling, possessing both beauty and talent. But now, she was in such a sorry state...
"Did you see Qingcheng jie's face? The black crows only pecked her face once, and it developed large black spots in a short time."
"I've long heard that black crows are unusual. Seeing them today, their power is so immense. I also heard that after being pecked by a black crow, though it's not fatal, the face might never recover..."
The cultivators whispered amongst themselves, constantly discussing.
Feng Qingcheng had made a name for herself in Jinling with her face. If this proud face were gone, she would likely lose her title as the most beautiful woman in Jinling.
Si Xinxin lazily withdrew her gaze, yawned, and looked at the scene with boredom. "A Xi, the show is over. Let's go back and get some good sleep."
With that, she calmly retracted her gaze, turned, and strode away.
The Immortal Sect was terribly boring. After waking up and eating, she would go find Mother!
She hadn't seen Mother in a long time...
In the room.
Feng Qingcheng had washed up and changed into clean clothes.
When she saw herself in the mirror, she let out a cry of surprise. "Ah!"
Large black spots covered half of her injured face.
One half of her face was bright and beautiful, while the other half was covered in patches of black spots.
"No! How could my face become like this?"
Feng Qingcheng broke out in a cold sweat. She retreated rapidly, frantically searching her spatial storage for medicine to heal her face.
Black crows were highly venomous, and healing them was not easy.
She didn't care about anything else, pulling out a large pile of medicinal herbs and applying them to her face.
