What one fears is often what comes to pass. Scarcely had this thought crossed Duanmu Bai's mind when a bizarre roar echoed from the distant horizon, prompting an instant change in Duanmu Bai's complexion.
That was the sound of the Thunder-patterned Chasing Wind Gryphon, the flying magical beast of Duanmu Ci; Duanmu Ci was coming!
The Chasing Wind Gryphon is a common flying magical beast used for transportation in the Demonic Realm, but the one belonging to Duanmu Ci was exceptional, with its body full of thunder and lightning Dao patterns. It was the only one of its kind in the entire Demonic Realm, making it a symbol of Duanmu Ci, with a roar that was distinctive from your average Chasing Wind Gryphon.
In the Duanmu Clan, only the family head, Duanmu Ci, had the privilege to use the Thunder-patterned Chasing Wind Gryphon. Thus, hearing its roar indicated that Duanmu Ci was not far away.
