Within the boundaries of Rain Country, a group of Black Plague Birds suddenly appeared, led by a powerful Rank-2 Demonic Beast.
It seemed that a breach had occurred in the defenses along the border with Cloud Dream Marsh, compounded by the fact that after Hong He's "death in battle," his replacement as the Town Guard of Rain Country was Fei Zhongyu, an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Penalty Evil Hall, which somewhat undermined the control of the situation.
Although Fei Zhongyu had tried his best to gather Divine Wood Sect Monks from Rain Country, coupled with the assistance of the major families, they were still unable to completely exterminate the Black Plague Birds, capable of free flight.
Some time ago, two lesser families were breached by the Black Plague Birds, and dozens of cultivators were brutally killed.
