The group was taken aback, then realized that the description did indeed resemble the fox not far away. Could it be that the legendary strong wind was actually a fox from Qingqiu?
Zuan was also somewhat dazed. If that were really the case, then what about the image of the great wind in the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra?
At this moment, the foxes that had been observing them seemed to be startled and suddenly began to scatter in all directions.
The group felt the sky was getting darker, and Yu Yanluo subconsciously said, "Is it going to rain? Why are there so many dark clouds?"
Zuan, however, felt a sudden sense of alarm: "Be careful!"
As he spoke, he went straight to the three women, grabbed their waists, and dodged to the side.
Yu Yanluo was in a relationship with him, so it didn't bother her. Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were equally unperturbed and angry, because they had developed a tacit understanding after spending so much time together and knew that he wouldn't do anything reckless. They were all on high alert, wary of any unknown dangers.
Sure enough, a dark shadow swept past the spot where the group had just been.
The speed was so fast that unless one was watching intently, one would not even be able to detect the presence of that dark figure.
Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were utterly astonished. What was this being, and why was it moving so fast?
If it weren't for Zuan's warning, they probably would have suffered a great loss from this guy's sneak attack.
It's strange, really. Zu'an's cultivation level is clearly not as high as ours, and his spiritual power is even worse than ours, so why is he more sensitive to danger than we are?
Zuan secretly thanked "The Record Book," then fixed his gaze on what lay ahead.
They managed to escape, but those foxes weren't so lucky.
They had already gone to heaven—literally.
With its spine pierced by sharp claws, it lay limp and lifeless, clearly devoid of any vitality.
The owner of the sharp claws was a strange bird with white feathers all over its body, a reddish tail, and a very strange head that seemed to be smiling at you.
"Strong wind!"
The group immediately recognized it; it was indeed exactly the same as the one in the legend.
Zuan thought to himself, "Has this guy eaten too many foxes? He even looks a bit like a fox now."
The strange bird opened its large beak, and a gust of wind swept through, sucking all the foxes that were still trying to escape, including those it was holding in its claws, into its mouth, revealing a satisfied expression.
"If Tu Shanyu were here, she'd probably be furious," Yun Jianyue remarked.
"Could it be that in ancient times, this great wind was the mortal enemy of the Qingqiu Fox Clan?" Yan Xuehen was considering another question.
Yu Yanluo frowned as she looked at the strange bird. Snakes and birds of prey in the sky are natural enemies, so she naturally disliked it.
At this moment, the strange bird Dafeng suddenly turned around and stared intently at Zu'an and his companions.
"Oh no, it's about to attack." Zuan noticed its expression and his heart skipped a beat.
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong wind disappeared.
Having learned from their previous experience, Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were already on guard this time, and upon seeing this, they activated their respective domains.
Then they finally saw the strong wind; it hadn't disappeared, but was moving so fast that the human eye couldn't keep up.
However, affected by the domains of the two grandmasters, its speed finally slowed down a bit, and it was soon discovered by the group.
At this moment, the Flying Snow Sword and the Star Moon Wheel also moved. Yan and Yun were not the type of women who would passively take a beating.
Although the two bickered frequently, they were incredibly close when they worked together.
It almost instantly blocked all the wind's escape routes.
Just as it was about to perish on the spot, it suddenly disappeared again.
Zaun knew this all too well, because he himself often used this teleportation technique.
Sure enough, the next second they noticed that the wind had already flown into the sky.
Seemingly sensing that the humans before it were not to be trifled with, it did not attack rashly. Instead, its entire body rapidly grew larger, soon covering the sky and the sun. One of its wings was like a large cloud.
At the same time, the oppressive aura emanating from it became increasingly terrifying.
Yun Jianyue frowned. This guy had actually been hiding his strength before, and now he would be difficult to deal with.
Just then, the wind suddenly flapped its wings, and a terrifying hurricane, visible to the naked eye, swept towards everyone.
Within the eye of the storm, countless trees and rocks were pulverized. One can imagine that if a person were to enter it, they would likely suffer a fate akin to being torn to pieces.
Everyone instinctively tried to move away, but they immediately felt a powerful suction force pulling them toward the eye of the storm.
There's no need to worry about Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen's cultivation levels; they naturally have ways to protect themselves.
Zu An hurriedly came to Yu Yanluo's side, hugged her waist, and used his Great Wind technique to get a hundred feet away, temporarily avoiding the terrifying hurricane.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the giant bird in the sky spoke in human language. Then, with a flap of its wings, the terrifying hurricane disappeared, leaving only the devastation around it to tell the story of what had just happened.
"Why do you possess the heritage of our clan?" Da Feng looked down at Zu An, his originally ferocious gaze softening considerably.
The group wasn't surprised that it could speak human language; beasts of this rank naturally possessed intelligence comparable to humans.
Seeing that it had given up its attack, Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue also temporarily stopped and waited for the situation to develop.
"By chance, I received the inheritance of the Great Wind..." Zuan said as he summoned the Great Wind, unsure if the other party could see the pattern.
As a result, the great wind in the sky trembled and exclaimed incredulously, "It's actually the aura of the Primordial Ancestor!"
"The progenitor?" Zu An wondered if his mark of the Great Wind actually originated from its progenitor.
At this moment, the great wind flapped its wings, and its entire body rapidly shrank, returning to the size of the golden eagle from its previous life. It descended from the sky and said: "Since you have the inheritance of the ancestor, then we are not enemies, and there is no need to continue fighting."
Yan Xuehen breathed a sigh of relief. It was better this way; the strange bird in front of her was quite powerful.
Yun Jianyue, however, was still somewhat unsatisfied, having originally intended to have a proper battle.
Yu Yanluo looked at Zu An with a strange expression, thinking that he actually had the inheritance of the snake clan's natural enemy, no wonder he usually kept people under his thumb.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Zu An thought that it would be best to maintain peace, as the previous encounter with Xiu She had already proven that letting them pass directly was the simplest way to get through.
"What are you going to do? The Golden Crows' territory is just ahead. They're not as easy to talk to as I am." As Da Feng spoke, he glanced at the woman beside him, thinking that the long-haired woman and the two cold-faced women were quite formidable. He had almost been caught off guard.
"We are undergoing a trial..." Zaun explained tactfully, since he couldn't very well say that he was here to slaughter these ferocious beasts who were plaguing the world.

“So that’s how it is. But you probably can’t get through Tang Valley where the Golden Crow is,” the wind suddenly said.
