Chapter 517: Chapter 128: Valley of Destruction_1
The ban is lifted for a Chapter, thanks to the ongoing support of my readers. My new book will be updated after the conclusion of "Sky Speed Star Trace" in early August. The concept is already in place, and I hope you all will continue to support. Thank you.

Wing King looked at Xuan Ye’s confident face, hesitated for a while, and then let out a long sigh, saying, "It’s settled, so be it. The Dark Demon Clan and the Half-beast Clan are always our Winged Tribe’s biggest threats. Since the Holy Church is determined to wipe them out, we must also contribute. With their threat gone, it will only benefit our Winged Tribe. I have decided to personally lead two Winged Elders, along with one hundred Blue Feather Wingmen and five hundred Red Feather Wingmen, to accompany you. This represents the strongest power of our Winged Tribe. Let’s do our part for peace on the continent."
Xuan Ye was overjoyed. With the help of these wingmen, not only could he avoid the geographical disadvantage facing the church’s current operation, but he could also greatly enhance their strength, making it easier to deal with the Dark Demon Clan. He excitedly extended his right hand to the Wing King and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Wing King. If this operation succeeds, the Church will forever remember the Winged Tribe’s friendship." The Wing King extended his strong right hand to shake Xuan Ye’s hand and said with a bitter smile, "We are considering the benefit of our Winged Tribe, after all, eliminating two nearby rivals would make our lives easier. With our cooperation, both the Half-beasts and Dark Witchers will be unable to resist. How about this, you return first, Bishop, and at dawn tomorrow, I will send someone to bring you here, and we will head to the Half-beasts territory together. With our Winged Tribe scout, any ambush will prove ineffective. We must wipe them out swiftly." As he said this, a chilling flash passed through the eyes of the Wing King. Xuan Ye was struck inwardly, thinking that the Wing King seemed even more bloodthirsty than him. He certainly wasn’t simple, but since they were exploiting each other for now, there shouldn’t be any problems. Thinking about this, he said with a smile, "Let’s settle on this then. I won’t disturb your rest. I will wait for your news tomorrow early morning."
The Wing King nodded and said, "I have to arrange some things for tomorrow. I won’t be able to see you off. Blue Falcon, take Bishop back."
"Yes, Your Majesty." A Blue Feather Wingman floated over and made a gesture of invitation to Xuan Ye. After Xuan Ye and Wing King said their goodbyes, he flew up and headed back towards the Holy Church’s base under the guidance of Blue Falcon. Watching Xuan Ye’s receding figure, a faint smile appeared at the corner of the Wing King’s mouth, his eyes filled with a chilling intent. He whispered, "Summon."
Four Blue Feather Wingmen came forward. The Wing King said, "Give my orders, gather the leaders of the one to five hundred patrol teams of the Blue Feather Clan Defense Battalion before dawn. We are going to fight alongside the Church."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The four of them bowed respectfully, then took to the skies to convey the orders. The Wing King took out a black orb from his chest and flicked it. The orb emitted a sharp whistle and flew to the southeast. A golden glow wrapped around the Wing King again, and he floated up, settling back into his tree nest.
Xuan Ye reached an agreement with the Wing King regarding the action against the Dark Demon Clan and was quite delighted. Accompanied by Blue Falcon of the Blue Feather Wingmen, he quickly returned to the camp. The key figures in the Church’s operation were all waiting for his return. Seeing Xuan Ye’s satisfied expression, they knew without asking that his trip had mostly been a success.
Blue Falcon hovered in mid-air, saluting Xuan Ye, "Bishop, I will depart first. Goodbye." With that, he flapped his wings and disappeared into the embrace of the forest.
Xuan Ye landed next to Na Yan, smiling, "Our operation should go smoothly this time." He then eagerly recounted his encounter in the Winged Forest.
In the enveloping night, everyone listened to Xuan Ye’s account, each revealing a different expression. Na Yan asked cautiously, "Do you think King Wing can be trusted?"
Xuan Ye was slightly taken aback, but then nodded, "He should be. After all, wiping out the Half-beast and Dark Witchers would only benefit them. Plus, the Winged Tribe is always known for their love of peace, and they have a good reputation."
Na Yan frowned, "It’s because the Winged Tribe loves peace that I find it strange. If the Winged King just pointed the way for us, I wouldn’t suspect anything. But he easily decided to lead the elite force of the Winged Tribe to assist us. Don’t you find it suspicious? I think it’s better to be cautious."
Ballon chuckled, "You are being too cautious, Na Yan. Don’t you trust Xuan Ye’s judgment? I believe the Winged Tribe wouldn’t set us up. After all, they have no reason to offend the Church on behalf of the Dark Demon Clan and Half-beast Tribe. We’ve never heard of any disgraceful actions by the Winged Tribe, have we? What do you think, Judgment Chief?"
Xuan Yuan gave Ballon a blank look and said, "What’s the point of guessing now? We will find out everything tomorrow. Even if the Winged Tribe has ill intentions, they can’t compete with us. It’s late, everyone should go to sleep. We will leave early tomorrow, aiming to complete this mission within three days." With that, he left with the four Holy Judges.
