Chapter 124.2: The Canary Must Be Far Prettier Than My Ugly Self
Three years later.
Yun He, who was heading for the City of No Return, finally arrived at Great Sorrow City. His white-crane robe was bloody, while his aura was unstable. On his way, he had encountered the North's first general under the Supreme One, Demon Crocodile. The two fought for years but neither won, sustaining heavy injuries.
Yun He sat pale as paper in the great hall. "Where is my junior sister?"
An early-stage Supreme respectfully stepped forward. "Reporting to Supreme Yun He... Huang Mengling left five years ago to handle urgent matters."
"And the city guardian?"
"The guardian has gone to the City of No Return."
Yun He's eyes flickered with unease. "How is the City of No Return now?"
The Supreme hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've been in cultivation seclusion for years and don't know much about what's happening in the City of No Return. It should still be the same as before, guarded by several Supremes."
Yun He's expression didn't change. After a pause, he said calmly, "You may go."
The Supreme lowered his head and left the hall.
In the empty palace, only Yun He remained. A hint of worry flickered in his eyes. "Something about this feels wrong... If I remember correctly, the Guardian of Great Sorrow City is Supreme Mi Luo, and his father is Great Supreme Mi Kong."
His unease only grew stronger upon arriving in Great Sorrow City. A few terrifying auras could faintly be felt lurking inside, all of them seemingly belonging to Great Supremes. They were hiding, making no attempt to see him. That was a huge red flag.
