The big wind and the barbarians

Gazing into the distance, the sea and sky merged into a single line, making it hard to distinguish where the water ended and the sky began.

A thunderous dragon roar seemed to be echoing from the clouds in the firmament.

Through the gaps in the clouds, one could faintly catch glimpses of the Azure Dragon's scales and claws.

The Dragon's body was Never Ending, seemingly stretching all the way to the horizon.

And the dragon tail accidentally revealed was, in their eyes, actually as large as a mountain.

Xu Ke was dumbfounded, looking up with a slightly swaying body: "Why is this Dragon so huge?"

"I have also seen an Azure Dragon within the Sect before. But compared to the one right in front of us…"

"That can't even be called a Dragon. Calling it a little loach is more like it!"

Xu Ke wasn't stupid; knowing that this South Abyss was the territory of Yao Beasts, he quietly whispered to Li Fan.

"The divine Dragon sees its head but never its tail…" Li Fan ignored him.

Instead, he stared at the Azure Dragon in the firmament, checking the memories originating from the Heavenly Fate Blackbird Bloodline.

The years this Azure Dragon had existed could almost be compared to the longevity of Emperor Sanmo.

Unlike Emperor Sanmo, who acted as the ethnic group's prophet and led the Yao Beast clan forward, this divine Azure Dragon never interfered in the internal affairs of the Yao Beast clan.

It acted more in the role of a "guardian deity," usually remaining hidden from the world.

Only at critical moments when the Yao Beast clan encountered a crisis of extinction would it step out to help.

"The divine Azure Dragon usually conceals its form, hiding within the waves and clouds. I wonder why it suddenly issued such a dragon roar today."

"It seems that something major might have happened in this South Abyss."

"Coming here and running right into it, truly as expected of someone destined by Heaven."

While pondering secretly, Li Fan gave Xu Ke a swipe with his claw.

Xu Ke suddenly felt somewhat baffled and, refusing to submit, wanted to launch a counterattack.

But he was ruthlessly suppressed by Li Fan.

Meanwhile, the Azure Luan Bird beneath Xu Ke seemed to emit a helpless sigh.

Its speed remained undiminished as it continued to gallop all the way south.

The South Abyss Sea was vast and boundless.

As far as the eye could see, aside from the firmament overhead, there was only endless azure seawater.

Having flown continuously for more than ten days, the scenery hadn't changed in the slightest.

Not to mention that Yao Beast mountain, even the figures of ordinary Yao Beasts had not been seen.

Instead, schools of strange fish could be seen from time to time in the sea, drilling out of the water to frolic.

Some even chased the shadows of Xu Ke and his group cast on the sea surface, following all the way.

However, these fish had not yet opened their divine faculties and relied purely on instinct; they were clearly not any kind of Yao Beasts.

"Little Black, where on earth is that so-called Yao mountain?" Xu Ke rested his chin in his hands, looking listless.

"Senior Brother Lu Ya didn't make it clear either, only telling me to go all the way south and I would arrive."

"And I actually believed him. What a headache."

Just as Li Fan was about to reply, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly felt a burst of Killing Intent accompanied by a dense smell of blood suddenly striking from behind.

He immediately turned his head, spitting out a streak of black light from his mouth that clashed directly with this Killing Intent.

"Eh?" A sound of surprise came from the opponent.

"Boom!"

Amidst the sound of the explosion, the Azure Luan Bird finally reacted.

It let out an angry cry, spreading its wings to protect Xu Ke behind it.

As for Li Fan, he flew into mid-air, gazing from afar at the culprit who had launched the sneak attack.

That was a two-headed strange bird.

Its feathers were snow-white all over; one of its heads had its eyes widened, its gaze continuously shifting back and forth between Xu Ke and his group.

While the other head seemed to be in deep slumber, eyes tightly closed, nodding up and down, looking extremely comical.

"So it's from the Blackbird family. How come I haven't seen you in so many years, and you've turned into this appearance?"

"You're truly too ugly to look straight at."

The two-headed strange bird mocked in a sharp voice.

"Manman…" In an instant, Li Fan also recognized the origin of this two-headed bird.

Come to think of it, it even had a bit of a relative relationship with the Heavenly Fate Blackbird clan.

Named Manman, although the name didn't sound very nice, its background was actually quite big.

The left head was said to be able to see the Karma of all things in the world, while the right head remained asleep year-round.

Once it had a premonition of disaster descending, it would inexplicably wake up.

However, Manman birds were generally tinged with red amidst cyan; one entirely snow-white like this was extremely rare.

No wonder it thought Li Fan was ugly; it was a completely polar opposite existence to the pitch-black Li Fan.

Although according to the seniority within the Yao Beast clan, the other party was very likely Li Fan's "elder."

However, facing the sudden attack and verbal taunts of this white Manman bird, Li Fan naturally wouldn't give the other party a good look either.

"Strange, why does it seem like I hear a duck quacking somewhere?"

"Quack quack, it's truly ugly-sounding and annoying to death."

Acting as if he didn't see the Manman bird at all, Li Fan looked around in confusion and asked Xu Ke below with a hint of disgust.

Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and giggled: "That's right, I heard it too."

"They all say this South Abyss Yao mountain is the Holy Land of Yao Beasts. How could an ill-mannered duck be allowed to sneak in? What a strange, strange matter!"

Hearing the two of them mocking in tandem, the Manman bird instantly flew into a rage.

"You two little things, who are you calling a duck?"

"This Lord is the supremely noble Manman bird! Furthermore, a pure white mutation encountered once in a millennium, you guys…"

However, no matter what it said, Li Fan and Xu Ke both continuously shook their heads with expressions full of disgust.

The white Manman bird was hopping mad. Seeing that the other party was truly hateful, it prepared to make a move once more.

But not knowing what it thought of, it actually endured it on the spot.

"Blackbird family member, I remember you!"

It glared fiercely at Li Fan, flapped its wings, and flew forward.

Man and bird, Li Fan and Xu Ke exchanged a glance, then quickly urged Xiao Qing to closely follow behind.

Not long after, the Manman bird discovered them following right behind it.

"Why do you keep following me? Do you really take me for an easy target?"

Li Fan showed a disdainful expression: "How strange, the sky is wide and the earth is vast, all beasts can roam freely."

"Could it be that wherever your Manman bird flies, other beasts are not allowed to walk anymore?"

"You're meddling way too much, aren't you?"

Before the white Manman bird could speak, a strange laugh suddenly came from the horizon, arriving in an instant.

"Hahaha!"

"Well said, this little doll makes a lot of sense! I think your Manman bird clan has had too many good days and is becoming increasingly lawless!"

Fierce light gleamed in the white Manman bird's eyes, and Killing Intent overflowed.

However, after it saw clearly what the incoming beast was, it instantly wilted.

Although the newcomer was a bird, it looked like a dog and had a human face.

Amidst the commotion of its flight, it was even accompanied by the sound of whistling wind.

It was precisely the illustrious "Dafeng" clan.

"Hahahahaha!"

After the Dafeng bird came to a steady stop, it let out another hearty laugh.

Afterwards, its gaze lingered on Li Fan for a moment before finally falling upon Xu Ke.

A trace of strangeness instantly flashed through its eyes.

"You human little doll, why have you come to our Yao Beast territory?"
