"This is Corpse Manor, one of the five major evil forces in the Da Song Jianghu. Although it has some connections with the Superpower World, the Manor Lord is barely Fourth Rank."
"But starting a few days ago, Corpse Manor's power suddenly began to expand rapidly. Now only Corpse Manor remains among the five evil forces."
"All the disciples of Corpse Manor have some inhuman traits. I suspect these mutations are related to Egger."
Wen Wen is not very interested in Egger right now. He can't capture Egger into the Sanctuary, and confronting him head-on would be thankless. At this stage, finding a way to leave here is the real deal.
Ha Erman moved his hand to a small country north of Da Song: "Here is the Northern Yin Dynasty. During the war between the two countries, a First-Class Expert wearing golden-blue armor descended from the sky. This expert should be the woman who entered Yuriano with you."
"She was invited to the capital of the Northern Yin Dynasty by the State Preceptor and hasn't been seen since."
Northern Yin Dynasty...
Wen Wen's heart tightened. If he remembers correctly, the Northern Yin Dynasty will experience a necromantic disaster sweeping across the world. With his current strength, such a catastrophe poses no threat to him, but he also doesn't want to witness the scene of devastation and suffering.
Moreover, could the Taoist who invited Qiao Feiya be the 'Righteous True Immortal'?
If he harbors ill intentions, Qiao Feiya is in danger. Should he rescue her at night with the Black Night Knight?
There are dozens of small dots on the map, suspected places where Yuriano Monsters appear. Their presence has plunged the once peaceful lands of Xia Manor into chaos.
Then Ha Erman walked out of the room and pointed to the sky.
It was broad daylight, the sky cloudless, seemingly without anomalies.
Wen Wen adjusted his vision to a certain height and discovered an extra golden star in the sky, which should be Ishna.
"One pastime of the Morning Star War Goddess is floating in the sky like a star. We can't count on her for trivial matters, but she'll help us fight at crucial times."
Then Ha Erman returned beside the map: "I don't know if this idea is correct, but perhaps we should pay attention to another place—Heavenly Mountain."
"According to Brocade Guard's intelligence, many monsters from Yuriano are heading towards Heavenly Mountain. I think it might be related to Crooked Dragon."
Wen Wen looked outside, Zhu Pengpei was still eating pig food obediently, without receiving any information from Crooked Dragon.
Back when Wen Wen and Qiao Feiya infiltrated Yuriano, they pretended to be very close to Zhu Pengpei. Later, Zhu Pengpei surrendered to Wen Wen in front of many monsters, so it's normal for Crooked Dragon not to trust Zhu Pengpei.
"The location of Heavenly Mountain is the same as the Federation's Heavenly Pillar Mountain, home to a group of powerful evil superpower users and monsters."
"The leader is a nearly True Immortal Rank strong being, a monster composed of countless poisonous insects, named Pi Yanping, self-titled Tianshan Poison Immortal King."
Wen Wen scratched the back of his hand, feeling an itch when hearing the name.
Based on this information, the two quickly formulated their next plan.
Ha Erman stayed in the capital, and Wen Wen arranged Hen Run by Ha Erman's side, his main task being intelligence gathering.
Moreover, Ha Erman handed Wen Wen a ring, allowing them to communicate simply through it.
Wen Wen would take his Left and Right Protectors to the Northern Yin Dynasty first to meet Qiao Feiya.
Then visit Corpse Manor to see if Egger is hiding there.
Finally, meet the Tianshan Poison Immortal King, preferably finding Crooked Dragon. If not, they would check the points marked on the map one by one.
Regardless, they need to leave this world as soon as possible.
But before the action, Wen Wen planned to rest here for a night. After operating in the wild for a long time, they arrived at this comfortable place, unwilling to leave without some conversation.
Wen Wen found a hall, pretending to be a cavalier and began reciting poetry.
Ha Erman achieved a group of admirers through this, without spending a dime. As a native of the Capital District, Wen Wen couldn't be outdone by Ha Erman in poetry.
"When will the bright moon appear, I raise my cup and ask the sky, unaware of the heavenly palace..."
After a while, several pretty women emerged from the room. Wen Wen's expression brightened, but they soon whispered displeasingly. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel{f}ire.net
"This person likes Young Master Ha's poetry too, but why is he reciting poems loudly in broad daylight, disturbing my sleep..."
Though they spoke softly, Wen Wen's keen hearing picked up their complaints clearly.
"Did Ha Erman recite this one? Let me change it."
"If only personal moments remained like the first meeting, why lament the autumn wind?"
The women's expressions grew more impatient: "What's with this guy, loudly reciting Young Master Ha's poems, so annoying."
Wen Wen's face darkened: "That beast Ha Erman, just how many poems did he swipe? We came together after all..."
Ultimately, Wen Wen's plan to swipe poems for free didn't go as planned. He only knew a few songs, unexpectedly lacking compared to the foreigner Ha Erman's poetry stash.
Yet, Ha Erman, unable to bear staying indoors, stuffed Wen Wen a gold nugget, allowing him to experience the Oiran's enthusiasm...
At night, Wen Wen let the Black Night Knight out for fresh air. He mysteriously went out for a night and returned before dawn, lying in the sleeping bag pretending to be a corpse, and reported an address to Wen Wen.
Just as morning broke, Wen Wen took his Left and Right Protectors to the address given by the Black Night Knight.
This address was actually in a mountain stream outside the capital. Approaching the stream, Wen Wen heard piercing cries, the mountains quaking, with birds and beasts fleeing from the forest.
Upon closer inspection, Wen Wen found a huge and terrifying monster tied in the stream.
This monster stood over twenty meters tall, adorned with brown and yellow feathers, resembling a massive furball...
"Isn't this just a giant sparrow?"
Seeing Wen Wen and the others, the giant sparrow calmed down and lowered its head.
Wen Wen understood that the Black Night Knight went out last night to find them a mount.
This sparrow has Disaster Intermediate Sequence strength, its large size enabling flight while carrying ten or eight people without affecting its flight.
Despite its cute appearance, due to its size, it can consume humans like sparrows eating larvae, a dominating fearsome beast.
As the Black Night Knight had already trained this sparrow well, Wen Wen and his companions climbed onto its back and commanded the sparrow to fly northward.
