Peking Opera Cat Heart Feather

Episode 126 Threatening the Shame of Peking Opera Cats

At that moment, several clear and resounding sounds of rhythmic energy collided suddenly rang out, piercing the sky like thunder. This sudden sound instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and their already tense nerves were further stretched to a taut state.

Upon hearing this, several people's expressions changed drastically. Without hesitation, they quickly broke free from the barrier and sprinted towards the inn. Xiaoqing and Haipiao also hurried, walking side by side, rushing towards the inn together. However, unlike them, Bai Xinyu first glanced thoughtfully at Sha Wuhen, then pulled out a mysteriously glowing basalt shield from the system space. She took a deep breath and threw the basalt shield upward. As the shield traced a graceful arc in the air, it flashed across the sky, and Bai Xinyu flashed and followed closely behind like an arrow from a bow.

Before long, everyone filed in, successfully entering the inn. Seeing this, Sha Wuhen, who had been guarding the outer perimeter, responsible for maintaining the barrier, slowly loosened his clenched hands and let out a long breath. With a hint of fatigue, he removed the barrier around him, then clutched his chest with his right hand, as if in immense pain. Zhang Wuheng's voice, accompanied by heavy gasps, grew incredibly weak: "Time... is almost up... I only hope... you can forgive me for what I have done..."

At the same time, inside the inn, Gu Feng and Gu Yue looked at the time crystal that disappeared from their legs again, feeling very painful, but helpless because Shopkeeper Pan still had the ability to continue fighting. He had no choice but to fill in another piece of time crystal and continue fighting. After a fierce battle, with the concerted efforts of the two cats, they finally succeeded in subduing Shopkeeper Pan and knocking him to the ground.

Gu Yue stood beside the collapsed Shopkeeper Pan, staring down at the now-depleted crystal. His brow furrowed, a look of distress on his face. He shook his head and sighed, muttering to himself, "What a struggle! I thought this guy was just a retired old cat, but who could have imagined he was so formidable, having managed to survive the consumption of two full Time Crystals! Such formidable power would be more than enough to deal with our non-Time Crystal Chief." He shook his head helplessly, feeling rather dissatisfied with the price he had paid for this operation.

"Everyone, please be patient and listen to what I have to say! We are all from the same lineage of Peking Opera Cats, so why make such a fuss?" At this moment, Bian Ri, who had been curled up in the next room and trembling all over, could no longer suppress his inner fear and anxiety. He mustered up the courage to speak, trying to act as a peacemaker and say a few nice words to calm the dispute.

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng's expression darkened instantly. He walked quickly, heavy-footed, toward the door. He reached out with a strong, powerful hand and firmly grasped the Gu Yue broadsword, which had been sent flying by Pan and thrust straight into Bian Ri's door. He then stared at the closed door with hostile eyes and said coldly, "Hmph, Grandpa Cat, I'm telling you, if you don't have some real skills, don't try to stand up for other cats! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" These icy words blew like a gust of cold wind, sending a chill through Bian Ri, who was hiding behind the door.

After hearing Gufeng's ruthless warning, Bianri felt even more terrified. He frantically slammed the door shut and quickly braced his back against it, fearing Gufeng would suddenly burst through. However, despite this, he couldn't stop himself from shaking with fear.

Gu Feng watched Bian Ri panic and close the door tightly, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of contempt. Then, he swung his arm and suddenly threw the sword he was holding tightly in his hand. The sword, gleaming with cold light, rushed towards Gu Yue like a flash of lightning.

Seeing this, Gu Yue calmly extended his hands and steadily caught the flying sword. Then, without hesitation, he swung the blade horizontally, directly across the neck of Pan, who was lying on the ground and had no power to fight back. In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene reached a peak of tension, as if even the air had frozen.

"What are you doing!" At this moment, several members of the Xingluo class hurried in. As soon as they entered the door, they saw figures leaning on the railing and looking down. Below them were the two sisters of the sub-clan who were doing something jaw-dropping.

Gu Feng, expressionless, slowly walked toward Gu Yue, his gaze fixed on the crowd at the railing above. Meanwhile, Gu Yue, with unwavering tacit understanding, scooped up the fallen Pan Changgui, effortlessly catching him like an eagle catching a chick. Then, he swiftly drew the gleaming broadsword from his waist and mercilessly pressed it against Pan Changgui's slender neck.

"The secret of the treasure in exchange for his safety." Gu Feng walked towards Gu Yue and put forward his own conditions while looking at the cats above.

"You're Peking Opera Cats? How could you do such a despicable thing?" Da Fei's eyes widened in anger. As an upright Peking Opera Cat, his mission was to protect the lives and property of the people. But these two men were blatantly threatening the lives of innocent people. This was completely contrary to the purpose and moral principles of a Peking Opera Cat.

Even though he was in an extremely dangerous situation, Pan, who was being lifted up high, still endured the pain and said with difficulty: "You are simply throwing away the face of Bu Zong by doing this!"

However, facing the accusations, Gu Yue showed no remorse. Instead, he seemed to be deeply infuriated, his emotions instantly spiraling out of control. He roared at Shopkeeper Pan at the top of his lungs, "Face? Humph, when have those outsiders ever given us Bu Sect any face? As we struggle to survive in this desolate land, only mastering the power of the Time Crystal can be our last straw. And the Sect Master is our only hope of leading us out of this predicament and towards a new life!"

"Second sister, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. We should be more cautious." Gu Feng hurriedly spoke up to stop Gu Yue who was about to continue speaking.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed! Gu Feng flashed and appeared beside Shopkeeper Pan like a ghost. The dart in his hand flashed with cold light, and in the blink of an eye, it was against Shopkeeper Pan's fragile neck. He stared coldly at Bai Xinyu not far away and said in a deep voice, "Don't move! Otherwise, you will see who is faster, me or your hand?"

Seeing the situation seemingly reaching a stalemate, Bai Xinyu secretly felt something was amiss. Then, with a sudden inspiration, she took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and quietly slipped away to a secluded spot nearby. For safety's sake, she even employed the Nian Zong's Concealment Technique. As the technique was unleashed, her figure gradually blurred, as if blending into the surroundings.

After merging into one, she retrieved the Suzaku Bow from the space. Bai Xinyu took a deep breath and slowly pulled the bowstring, releasing a powerful rhythmic energy. A fiery arrow appeared from nowhere on the bowstring. However, as the saying goes, even the most careful planning can lead to errors. Although she had done her utmost to conceal her presence and movements, the subtle rhythmic energy fluctuations generated by the Suzaku Bow during its operation were extremely subtle. However, because the two sisters of the Zi Clan were using time crystals and continuously observing their surroundings, they were noticed.

At this moment, footprints suddenly appeared on the ground, quietly approaching the two sisters.
