"Finding me? That's impossible. This old man definitely wasn't talking to me."
Li Ming stared at the image in the Boundless Bowl, completely unfazed; this wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this.
Just sit back and watch the show; let's see what tricks these people are up to.
"Fifth Sister, we've been discovered."
On a branch was a bird that resembled a mythical creature, with the head of an ape, the body of a raccoon, the claws of a tiger, and the tail of a snake.
If it didn't have wings, you wouldn't recognize it as a bird.
"This is the White Night Bird."
Li Ming had read the Classic of Mountains and Seas and recognized this strange-looking bird.
Who is this bird talking to?
Li Ming continued to observe, and the image in the Boundless Bowl flickered. Slowly, it turned to the side, and a bird radiating luster came into view.
This bird is like a sun, radiating dazzling light, and its most striking feature is that it has three legs.
"The Three-Legged Golden Crow".
Li Ming recognized the divine bird that resembled the sun. It was said that the three-legged golden crow lived on the Fusang tree and could destroy the world at any moment.
A three-legged golden crow has appeared here.
I remember when Wu Xiao expanded his territory and made the Wu Dynasty one of the top 100 powerful nations in the Eastern Continent, he transplanted a Fusang tree from Sanggu.
On that day, a golden crow flew over the hibiscus tree. That golden crow looked very similar to this one. I wonder if they are the same one.
The three-legged golden crow remained calm and said, "Ninth Sister, don't worry. The Empress sent us here to find out what the Immortal Capital Clan has been guarding. Now that we've been discovered, let's go out and test the power of these clans."
"So it was them."
Li Ming finally remembered whose people the golden crow and the white night bird belonged to.
They are Wu Xiao's people.
Wu Xiao assembled a massive intelligence organization called "Hundred Birds Palace" or "Hundred Demons Palace," which consisted of various bird-like monsters.
The Hundred Birds Pavilion has ten divine birds.
The White Night Bird seen in the Wuliang Bowl ranked ninth, and the Three-Legged Golden Crow ranked fifth.
These two birds are exceptionally strong. The White Nightbird is timid by nature and appears somewhat delicate and submissive. In human form, it looks like a little girl, but once it gets into a fight, it becomes incredibly fierce.
Li Ming had never seen the three-legged golden crow in human form, only once by chance when he witnessed her take action, which was like the sun falling from the sky, turning a town into a hell.
"Fifth Sister, they look so strong." White Night Bird was a little scared and trembled.
"Don't be afraid, Fifth Sister is here. Come on, let's go out and meet them."
"Alright." Just as the White Night Bird was about to spread its wings and fly away, it was stopped by the quick-witted Three-Legged Golden Crow: "Ninth Sister, wait a minute, it seems that the old man from the Immortal Capital was not talking about us."
The three-legged golden crow pinned down the white night bird.
The White Night Bird steadied itself and looked ahead, where a strange figure suddenly appeared.
The dark figure was charred, its entire body blackened, its clothes tattered, and it floated in the air like a ghost.
It looks like a human but not quite, like a ghost but not quite.
A gentle breeze carried the strong stench of corpses.
The three-legged golden crow rolled its eyes.
The White Night Bird trembled all over, its eyes rolled back, and white foam came out of its mouth.
It smells awful.
The two birds quickly held their breath and focused their attention, blocking any air from entering their noses and minds.
"Hehehe..." The black figure let out a strange laugh, saying, "I didn't expect you to find out even though I was hidden so well."
“Hehehe, this guy definitely won’t live long,” Li Ming guessed. The man’s laughter gave him goosebumps. He hadn’t expected that four groups of people would be interested in the thirty-six sacred mountains and forbidden areas.
The Immortal Capital Family, Black Dog, Wu Xiao, and this strange fellow.
The two elderly men from the Immortal Capital stood up, their eyes bright and piercing, like two suns swirling in their pupils. The shadowy figure moved about like a ghost, carrying a strong aura of death.
"You are from the Yinshan Kingdom."
The old man from Xiandu frowned, his heart pounding. Only the Yinshan Kingdom possessed such astonishing corpse energy; they cultivated corpse refining, corpse nurturing, and corpse control.
“Indeed, I am the Corpse Master under the King of Yinshan Kingdom. I have been ordered by the King to find a new place for refining corpses. I have found this place to be quite good. It is surrounded by thirty-six divine mountains. Tell me, how much would you like to transfer this place?”
"This is a sacred mountain forbidden area guarded by the Xiandu family for generations, and it cannot be transferred."
"I've investigated everything about what 'non-transferable' and 'hereditary guardianship' means. Two hundred years ago, this place was a desolate, unclaimed land. It was only because a black dog and many spirit beasts caused a great commotion that your Xiandu family found it and took it for themselves. This place is not one that the Xiandu family can take over."
"Can the Yinshan Kingdom really handle it?" The old man from Xiandu was not afraid at all.
"Yinshan Kingdom is one of the top 100 powerful countries, and its ruler has boundless magical power, so of course he can take it down."
"A mere one of the top 100 superpowers, and you're this arrogant? Your cultivation practices defy the laws of nature. Do you really think no one is watching you?"
"Further discussion is pointless."
The corpse master did not intend to speak, and formed a hand seal.
The place was instantly filled with black mist, and the air was thick with the aura of corpses. An astonishingly corrosive atmosphere enveloped the area for miles around.
"Bang bang bang".
The ground exploded, and corpses emerged from it.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of corpses appeared within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"As expected of the corpse master under the Yinshan Kingdom's ruler." The two elders from the Immortal Capital quickly crushed a jade slip, believing that soon, the powerful figures from the Immortal Capital families would arrive one after another.
The Corpse Master and the two elders from the Immortal Capital immediately started fighting.
The ground collapsed instantly, and a murderous aura soared into the sky. In less than ten moves, the old man from the Immortal Capital was at a disadvantage and showed signs of defeat.
"Awesome."
Li Ming hadn't expected Jie Jie Guai to be so strong.
The sky was filled with the aura of corpses, controlling thousands of bodies. If nothing unexpected happened, the two elders from the Immortal Capital would undoubtedly be defeated in three moves.
Li Ming suddenly felt that the outside world was more exciting, and he even longed for the Eastern Victory Land of Zuzhou.
He rubbed his hands together secretly, his eyes gleaming with longing.
I'm even wondering if I could win if I were to face off against the Corpse Lord.
"Fifth Sister, thankfully we didn't intervene. The Corpse Lord and the old guy from Immortal Capital are both very strong." The White Night Bird trembled, its feathers bristling.
“This Corpse Lord is even stronger.” The three-legged golden crow’s eyes flashed as it said, “However, I think we can fight.”
"Fifth Sister, the Empress only asked us to investigate the situation here. If we interfere, we might anger the Yinshan Kingdom and the Xiandu Family. Our Wu Dynasty Empire has only recently become one of the top 100 powerful nations and has not been stable for long. It is not advisable to make enemies."
"The Empress is not one to back down from trouble. As far as I know the Empress, this scourge of Yinshan Kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later. If you're afraid, stay here and I'll go myself."
The Three-Legged Golden Crow felt that the old man from the Immortal Capital family couldn't hold on any longer.
White Night Bird shook her head: "Fifth Sister, I'm not afraid."
"Then why do you talk so much?"
"I get really nervous before every fight, and I become super talkative. I'm only not afraid when I'm actually fighting. Why don't you watch, I'll make the first move?"
