Chapter 485 - The Appearance Of A Dragon And A Phoenix (1/2)

“Master Ou, I know you want to go beyond this world and enter the upper realm. Perhaps the Wu family is using this condition to attract you but there isn’t only one way to achieve that,” Ni Jingshen noted seriously.

Ou Yangming was moved. “Elder Ni, you contacted…?” He pointed above his head.

Ni Jingshen smiled and answered, “Lil’ Friend Ou, ever since you found our clan’s secret realm, we’ve been calling out to our members of the same clan in the upper realm.”

Judging from the smile on Ni Jingshen’s face, Ou Yangming instantly understood that not only had Ni Jingshen contacted someone from the upper realm, but he had also obtained huge benefits or were given certain promises. Nonetheless, the young fellow was not very keen about everything.

The Ni family had mercy on him, but they must be joking if they thought they could say a few things to make him turn against the imperial family.

Ou Yangming responded after some thought, “Elder Ni, this is a serious matter, and I’ve just only heard about it, so I’m quite clueless. If it’s possible, please let me consider it first.”

Ni Jingshen laughed out loud. “Of course, Lil’ Friend Ou, take your time. If you have any questions, you can summon me at any time.”

The young fellow was rather speechless because the elder was half being humble, half mocking himself. He dared not do that even if it was for Elder Sister Ying’s sake.

After finally sending away the elders, who still wished to continue the discussion, Ou Yangming frowned and sighed.

He gained a new understanding of the Humans’ situation through the discussion. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the imperial family’s prestige had long been imprinted in everyone’s heart, and they also had a powerhouse that surpa.s.sed Extreme Grade. Therefore, the Wu family’s position was stable and unshakable.

Nevertheless, the situation was different now because spirit beasts descended, and the world was in chaos.

Needless to say, according to Ni Jingshen, the upper realm paid more attention to their world this time due to the interspatial disorder.

The Wu family had a backing in the upper realm indeed, but the other families in the eight counties were not to be trifled with. The former had only controlled this world by coincidence, and it did not mean that their force was second to none in the upper realm.

“Hey, what were you talking about?” The little bird flapped its wings and flew out from the birdcage, then it hovered above Ou Yangming and finally landed on his shoulder. It initially wanted to stand on the young fellow’s head, but it dropped the idea after some careful thoughts.

Ou Yangming subconsciously reached out to gently brush the little bird’s body and answered, “It’s about a fight for power and gain. There’s nothing much to say.”

The little bird s.h.i.+vered as though it was protesting Ou Yangming’s act. “What’s a fight for power and gain?”

“Doesn’t it happen among your race?” Ou Yangming was surprised.

“No,” the little bird answered as it tilted its head and pondered.

It was not old but in terms of knowledge, it was far beyond Ou Yangming. This was because the bird was born with memories from its bloodline inheritance, so its starting point was much further than ordinary people.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and asked, “Lil’ Red, how many members are there in the Phoenixes?”

The little bird shook its head and said, “I have no idea, but there are at most 2 to 3 of us in every realm.”

“2 to 3 of you in every realm?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. He twitched his mouth before he remarked, “Okay, you don’t need to fight for power and gain at all.”

The Humans’ individual cultivation base was far from the Phoenixes’, but many hands provided great strength. As the population increased, cultivation resources would never be enough. At this point, the people would fight for power and gain, and the resources would end up being gathered by the victor.

It was a b.l.o.o.d.y law of the jungle. Apart from the Humans, other races that won by quant.i.ty would not be able to avoid this too.

On the other hand, the Phoenixes’ greatness was built from individuals. Given that there were only 2 to 3 of them in a realm… The so-called fight for power and gain was only a joke to them. In a way, they could not understand why something like that would happen among the Humans.

“If you think they’re being too troublesome, how about I burn them with my fire?” The little bird suggested all of a sudden.

Ou Yangming was shocked, and he quickly warned the bird, “No, you can’t. They’re good friends of mine, so you mustn’t attack them.”

The little fellow was clueless about the ways of the world, but it possessed forceful power that could overturn situations. If it was allowed to act as it wished, it could immediately wreak havoc among the Humans. If that happened, it would be too late for Ou Yangming to regret it.

With that, the little bird flapped its wings and flew back into the cage from Ou Yangming’s shoulder. It lay on the warm bedding and uttered, “How boring… Why did you say you’re going to Canghai County?”

“The Aquatics are attacking Canghai County, so I’d like to go there to settle it for them,” Ou Yangming answered seriously.

The little bird seemed unconcerned, but it rolled its eyes after a brief moment and questioned, “The Aquatics? Do you mean the Dragons?”

‘If the Dragons are there, I guarantee that I’ll be the first to run away!’ Ou Yangming laughed as he thought, but he kept a straight face. “I don’t know, but I heard they’re powerhouses from the Aquatics.”

“Alright, I’ll head there with you since I have nothing to do lately. That said, you must let me eat the Dragons if you manage to capture them!” The little bird blinked.

Ou Yangming was startled. “Eat?”

He had an unusually funny expression on his face. Although he could tell that the little bird was displeased with the Dragons, he did not expect the bird to give such a strong reaction. Eating the Dragons… Even the young fellow, who possessed the Devouring ability, dared not be so unrestrained.

Perhaps the Dragons and the Phoenixes were natural enemies, but Ou Yangming did not want to get involved. Given that he was just a small person, he would only end up as cannon fodder.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and replied to the little bird, “Okay, we’ll wait a few more days and go to take a look once King Kong arrived. If there really are… Dragons, I’ll leave them to you.”

“Great.” The little bird’s eyes gleamed. It later suggested, “Come and watch the Dragon-slaying Art with me!”
