"Squawk——"
A sharp bird's cry echoed in mid-air, and a hazy shadow quickly passed by before it landed on a hillside in the blink of an eye.
Four disciples of Thunder Fortress were sitting around here, discussing matters.
The leader was Du Wuhen, the senior disciple of Thunder Fortress.
Tall and skinny, with a dark complexion and long limbs, Du Wuhen had an uncanny resemblance to gibbons. He stood up; his arms could reach his knees. He reached out a hand, allowing the hazy silhouette to shrink in mid-air before landing on his arm.
"There're people from Penglai in Yanbo City. Shu Mountain couldn't possibly be there," he said in a deep voice.
Now it was clear that this was a spirit bird in deep blue. Its feather pattern was intricate, and its eyes were as vibrant as a human's. Despite its current size being no more than an ordinary sparrow, it still emanated an aura of proud regality.
It was Du Wuhen's controlled beast, the Qingfeng Profound Bird.
