Ning'an Prefecture, above the Yunze Waters.
A cyan Divine Bird with a wingspan of nearly a hundred meters burst through the clouds, hurtling northeast at an astonishing speed.
Sunlight glinted off its metallic feathers, creating a dazzling cyan streak across the sky.
On the Divine Bird's broad back, three figures stood against the wind.
They were none other than Chen Sheng, Sun Yuzhi, and Nie Xiangjun, rushing back to Ning'an from Nanzhao.
Nie Xiangjun hadn't originally planned on coming, as her negotiations with Profound Yin Valley were still unresolved. However, when she learned that people from the Celestial Dragon Temple and Dragon Tiger Mountain were on their way, she came without a second thought to act as Chen Sheng's protector.
She knew how shameless those bald donkeys could be.
'If they won, it would be one thing.'
'But if they lost, they'd likely be sore losers and resort to petty tricks.'
