Ma Lin, during his first visit to the Western Sinister Nations, had dined in a small city and discovered it was under the control of the Dream God Xiu Pu. He could distinctly identify Xiu Pu's scent, but in this Fried Dough City, he sensed nothing.
Perhaps it was because Xiu Pu had been scheming for quite a while, preparing meticulously to steal Cardon's achievements.
Ma Lin thought that Xiu Pu must wield significant influence in the Western Sinister Nations, and to rule the neighboring regions, one must find a way to deal with the various problems caused by Xiu Pu.
Lames refrained from attacking and occupying the Western Sinister Nations because the multiple gods worshiped there were too problematic to handle.
That simian demon known as Yuan ShiJia, engulfing small nations further west, how did he resolve the issues with the forsaken gods?
Ma Lin especially feared that black bird, feeling uneasy in his heart from a single encounter.
