Chapter 715: Return to the Terrace
After leaving Lin Daoji's cultivation ground, Chen Qing flew swiftly toward the Xuanzhao Terrace.
Having been separated from the Northern Darkness Kunpeng for several days now, though that spirit bird possessed something akin to human understanding, it was still a beast at heart. Crossing through the Shangyuan Blessed Land alone, there was no guarantee nothing untoward had happened to it. With that thought, he pushed his speed faster still.
Passing through the layered suspended corridors of the Supreme Void Court, the outline of the Xuanzhao Terrace finally emerged from the mist.
Chen Qing spotted that familiar figure from a distance at first glance.
The Northern Darkness Kunpeng stood at the edge of the cloud platform, its wings folded at its sides, its long neck bowed slightly, the dark blue-green plumage across its body casting a faint, cold gleam in the dusk light.
It had returned safely.
Chen Qing's heart eased, and he was just about to step forward when his footsteps suddenly froze.
Something was wrong.
The Northern Darkness Kunpeng simply stood there quietly, neither crying out nor looking around, not even acknowledging his approaching presence.
