Chapter 619: Jiang Pass
Terrible birds and beasts gathered in the mountain range. Feiyun naturally tried his best to avoid them and took a longer path.
He saw many reclusive sects during the trip, prosperous with tens of thousands of members. Of course, he saw many reduced to ruins too.
As time passed, fewer sects stood on the way, replaced by more pristine thickets and towering mountains.
Ordinary people couldn’t get through this area. Eventually, he saw trees that have grown for thousands of years and were hundreds of meters high. They looked like heavenly umbrellas with branches home to the great birds.
They were closer and closer to Ancient Jiang Prefecture.
Due to the xenophobic nature of its inhabitants, not even the great sects wanted to expand here. This resulted in desolation.
“Screech!” A bird with twenty-meter long wings howled. It had black feathers and iron break, spewing the stench of blood.
It soared down towards Feiyun’s scaled tiger, treating it as food.
Feiyun was cultivating on the beast’s back and felt this incoming pressure. His weapon essence flew out and turned into a long spear, directly piercing the bird’s stomach. It flew around inside and devastated the bird’s innards before flying back out.
The great bird fell into a deep mountain stream nearby.
“Raa!” Birds of the same size suddenly rushed out of the thicket and blotted out the sun, full of aggression.
The tiger became intimidated while issuing nervous roars.
