Because it was under Xu Fei’s control, the Green Winged Great Bird was in great pain, constantly struggling in the air, trying to break free from this agonising state.
But clearly, this was a fanciful notion.
Thus, after struggling for a while, driven by instinct, the Green Winged Great Bird abruptly changed direction, and its flying speed kept increasing.
This made Xu Fei, who noticed the situation, quite pleased; he had reason to believe that, likely in a bid to survive, the Green Winged Great Bird was helping him search for the mysterious figure behind the scenes.
The flight lasted about five minutes, and Xu Fei, intermittently using his X-ray vision, finally spotted the mysterious silhouette behind that wall.
“Is that the guy?”
Whether it was or not, encountering another person in the underground palace, Xu Fei could only dismount from the bird’s back.
When he landed, he saw with his own eyes the Green Winged Great Bird slowly fly over and land at that person’s feet.
This person was wearing a black cloak, covering them from head to toe.
Apart from a pair of relatively normal-looking hands, almost nothing else was visible.
“Well done, though it’s a pity, I have to send you on your way!”
After saying this, the person caught a dagger that slid from their sleeve and ruthlessly stabbed it into the heart of the Green Winged Great Bird.
The Green Winged Great Bird let out a cry of pain, then collapsed limply on the ground.
This time, there was likely no chance of any miraculous revival.
Xu Fei also noticed that, although the person had just spoken words resembling comfort, their action of ending the Green Winged Great Bird’s life didn’t slow down in the slightest.
“What a cold-blooded fellow, I wonder what your true identity is?”
“If you wanted me to show myself, then your goal has been achieved, now it’s your turn to take off your mask, isn’t it?”
After saying this, Xu Fei stared intently at the cloaked figure before him.
The other party burst into hearty laughter, then, while removing their cloak, said, “Old friend, it’s been a while, don’t you recognise me anymore?”
When the other party removed the cloak covering their head, Xu Fei couldn’t help but freeze.
He looked for a long time, finally discerning a clue from the still somewhat sinister smile on the other’s face.
“You… you’re Ichiro Kawashima? Didn’t you return to your country after leaving back then?”
Xu Fei remembered this person clearly, after failing to seize the Blood-Burning Pill from him, he became Xu Fei’s defeated subordinate.
Later, finding him somewhat useful, Xu Fei took him in temporarily as an undercover agent.
After the undercover mission was completed, Xu Fei paid no further attention to this person.
Because Xu Fei thought he was just a minor character, whether he lived or died didn’t matter.
Who could have imagined that today Xu Fei would meet Ichiro Kawashima in such a place?
“That’s right, it’s me, the news of my return after leaving was just fabricated.”
“You know, I left my country and came to Huaxia with great effort for these things, how could I bear to leave?”
At this point, Ichiro Kawashima’s eyes became incredibly gentle and reverent.
He spread his arms, gesturing at the vast underground temple around him, as if gazing at a lover, wishing to possess it all.
