Just as a fierce battle was unfolding behind the mountains of the Wayless Sect and gathering countless spiritual energy,
nobody noticed that, beside the kitchen, a bug egg nestled in a small nook had secretly absorbed a portion of the spiritual energy.
After swallowing that bit of spiritual energy,
the egg quietly cracked open a fissure.
Time passed unknowingly,
and a small head poked out from the egg.
Meanwhile, by the kitchen, no one paid any attention.
Nearby, the guards Ao Ye and Ao Yu were talking.
To be precise, Ao Ye was scolding Ao Yu.
"You, you really are of little use. When people from the Aspiring Path Sect came over and asked you for directions, you just led the way?"
"You're a Guardian Beast, not a direction-asking dragon. How come you, as a Guardian Beast, are of so little use?"
"Why don't you go resign from this position to the Sect Master and let me take over? I'm quite free and could serve as both the Guardian Beast and the mount."
Ao Ye said.
