"If we are summoning the eagle then we can't be seen, let's leave the city before the eagle finds us," Bingchen said, then they rode their horses out of the city. After they got out of the city, they entered into a deserted forest and they waited for thirty minutes but the golden eagle wasn't there yet, they had already gotten anxious because that thirty means a lot in saving Huo Ying's life.

"Why is the golden eagle not here yet?" Huo Li asked ​​

"I am sure we summoned him in the right way even though this is the first time we are summoning it," Bingchen said

"I think they are stopping him from leaving the sacred pinnacle, even if we are the ones who called him, the sect leader might not let the golden eagle leave the sacred pinnacle," Huo Qiang said

"I am sure he knows that Huo Ying's life is at stake here, he will surely let the golden eagle come to us," Huo Bingchen said.

Meanwhile, in Tongling, shock filled every street in the county, as soon as the golden eagle left the flame sect, everyone looked up in the sky and they were in awe of the majesty of the golden eagle, the golden eagle has never appeared in the public even during the battle between the sects, if one could see the golden eagle before they die, it will be the blessing of the generation. Mouths were opened wide agape as the golden eagle flew out of the sect, some who were shocked at the sight of the golden eagle fainted, his bright golden light shone in the sky as his widely spread large golden wings flaps in the sky and his large golden yellow beak pointed as it soars in the sky. Everyone came out if their houses and stopped whatever they were doing no matter how important it was. The golden eagle flew out of Tongling and flew into other counties, all the sects in the counties where the golden eagle flew past were not exempted from the majestic sight of the golden eagle. Even the sects that are not friendly with the flame sect such as the wind sect all struggled to catch a glimpse of the golden eagle as it flew very quickly.

---------------

They were already tired of waiting but they knew that the golden eagle was their only chance of saving the young mistress so they all waited patiently, they came down for their horses and paced around the forest when they heard a high pitch whistling sound, they quickly turned around. The three of them were amazed when they saw the golden eagle descending from the sky, they all opened their mouth wide agape, this is the most majestic scene that they have ever seen in their life.

Except for the elder and the sect leader, no one has ever seen the golden eagle, not even the disciples that are guarding the scared pinnacle. As the golden eagle landed on the ground, the three of them quickly fell to their knees and bowed down to the golden eagle, even the horses bowed their heads, they knew that the golden eagle is superior to them and they were afraid of him. The golden eagle landed on the ground and slowly walked towards them.

"Sacred Eagle" they chorused as they cupped their hands together, then the golden eagle arrived at their front. They lifted their head and stood up, they looked at the golden eagle's face when they realized that he wasn't wearing a friendly expression. Then all of a sudden, the eagle used his wings to throw Huo Li and Bingchen to the ground, then he jumped on Huo Qiang and pinned him to the ground with his talons. They didn't even have the strength and the time to react or defend themselves.

"May I ask how we have offended you sacred eagle?" Huo Qiang said the golden eagle talons were placed on his stomach and it seemed like they could pierce into his stomach at any time.

"How dare you mere guardians summon me? even your sect leader doesn't dare to summon me anyhow he likes" the golden eagle said, his voice resounded with authority.

"We were in a dire situation and we needed your help please don't be offended sacred eagle" Huo Qiang quickly replied, Huo Li and Bingchen spat out blood as soon as they were thrown to the ground, the only reason why the eagle spared Huo Qiang is because he needed him to answer his questions

"you even speak of sending me on an errand!!" the golden eagle said in rage, he lifted one of his legs and was about to pierce Huo Qiang stomach with his talons but Huo Qiang quickly raised his hands and held his talons to stop his talons from penetrating his body.

"You are the ancestor of the flame sect, if we need you, you should be willing to help us," Huo Qiang said, no matter how strong he was, he was still not able to stop the golden eagle from stabbing him with his talon, he grinned as he struggled to stop the talons from penetrating his body and blood was already dripping from his hands.

"I only have one master and one partner, the partner has already died years ago and the master I haven't met, how dare you think of commanding me?" the golden eagle said in rage, he immediately used more force to stab Huo Qiang, then his talons penetrated the middle of Huo Qiang hand and slightly pierced into his abdomen but it wasn't fatal, Even Huo Li and Bingchen couldn't help him since they were also weak from the fall.

"We are not commanding you, we are begging you, the young mistress of the flame sect will die if we don't return to the sect with the herbs she needs and you are the only one that can help us take it to her," Huo Qiang said, he was in pain but he could only ignore his pain for now.

"Why should I care about the young mistress?" the eagle said

"Because you are our ancestor…" Huo Qiang said, then the golden eagle removed his talon from his hand and his abdomen, blood spurted out of his hand then he used his other hand to block the wound, suddenly he saw the eagle raised his talon to stab him again but….

Dubum!

Dubum!

Dubum!

The golden eagle heard the sound of a heart beating, his eyes widened and he unpinned Huo Qiang from the ground and moved away from them.

He bowed his head and said "heart of the flame demon"

The three of them were surprised by his actions, he was clearly aggressive just know but he just bowed his head in front of them and said something they heard clearly but they didn't know what the heart of the flame demon is.

"What do you want me to do?" the golden eagle asked in a calm and submissive tone, they glanced at each other in surprise at the tone the golden eagle spoke in.

"We would like you to take the herbs the young mistress needs to the sect," Huo Qiang said, then he stretched his hands to collect the beg the herbs were kept in from Bingchen then he gave it to the golden eagle who held it with his claws.

"I will do as you say," the golden eagle said, then he flapped his wings and slowly ascended into the sky, the three of them watched as the golden eagle soared in the sky and flew away. Everyone who saw the golden eagle fly past them before still waited in hope of seeing the golden eagle again, they were once again elated at the sight of the golden eagle, when people saw the golden eagle flying with a small bag hanging on his talons, they concluded that someone with a high position in the flame sect must have come out of the mountain where the flame sect is.

-----------------

"I am afraid that they might get hurt," the sect leader said, they had already finished channelling their internal force to Huo Ying, then her mother laid her back on the bed with Huo Mei lying beside her.

"What do you mean?" his wife asked

"We can only summon the golden eagle but we cannot command him, the golden eagle will never do anything anyone asks of him," the sect leader said

"But the golden eagle belongs to the flame sect, how can he not do what we ask of him," the first elder said, they were all confused by what the sect leader said, the main reason why the other sects were afraid of the flame sect is because of the golden eagle, in the battle of the ever night, the sects were only betting their lives on the chance that the golden eagle will not be able to fight in the battle if not they wouldn't have dared to fight with the flame sect.

"There are only two people that the golden eagle listens to, the first person is the founder of the flame sect, they had an agreement but no one know what the agreement was about, so they became partners and the second person is his master but we don't know who his master is, so we belong to the golden eagle and he doesn't belong to us," the sect leader said.

"Then what do you mean when you say that you are afraid that they might get hurt," his wife asked

"My grandfather was killed by the golden eagle, he summoned him and the golden eagle was enraged because he commanded him, he has a very arrogant side to him, so he might hurt them for summoning him," the sect leader said

"Then why does he listen when he is summoned?" the third elder asked

"I don't know why but only the guardians, elders and the sect leader family of the flame sect can summon him" the sect leader replied.

"Does that mean that he might hurt them?" his wife asked

"We can only hope that doesn't happen" the sect leader replied

All the disciples in the flame sect gathered in front of the sect, to wait for the return of the golden eagle, then they saw the golden eagle flying back, the golden eagle lowered his height as he flew into the sect, an elite disciple quickly ran back to report to the sect leader.

"But…" the first elder was about to say something when a disciple entered.

"Sect leader, the golden eagle is back," the disciple said

"Did you see Huo Qiang and the others?" the sect leader asked anxiously, even the elders, Huo Lian and the madam were not exempted from the anxiousness.

"No, but I noticed that there is blood on his claws," the disciple said

"What!!" the sect leader shouted, he had now confirmed that his worst fears had already come true, they were all afraid that he had already killed them or injured them badly. Just then another disciple knocked on the door, then he entered into the room with a small bag in his hand.

"Sect leader, the golden eagle dropped this," the disciple said, then he handed the bag to the sect leader, they were all wondering what was inside the bag and hoping that it was the herbs but considering what the first disciple just said, they couldn't be sure. The sect leader opened the bag, then he scooped the content of the bag in his hands, they all looked at the sect leader hand but they couldn't tell what it was except Huo Lian.

"Sect leader, this is Wu Ling Zhi and Chuan Liang Zi" Huo Lian shouted, she couldn't help but smiled broadly at the sight of those two herbs, when they heard what she said, they all widened their eyes in shock.

"Are you sure?" the sect leader said, his wife was already smiling in excitement.

"Yes, I can surely recognise it, there is no way I won't be able to recognise them," Huo Lian said, the joy she felt could clearly be heard in her voice.

"Seems like the heavens are watching over the young mistress," the first elder said

"Yes, yes, go and make the medicine eight now," the sect leader said, then he handed the bag to Huo Lian. Then she left the room with smiles all over her face.

"Does this mean that they are alright, if he was willing to answer their request then they must be fine?" the first elder said, he was still concerned about Bingchen, he couldn't put his mind at ease since he heard that the golden eagle had blood on his claws.
