Chapter 459: The Return of the Diviners (1/2)

No one noticed that Xue Wei and his friends were foreigners, their casual actions, and the calmness with which they were moving, was causing everyone to think that they were ordinary residents of the Xiyang Continent.

While they were seated, they listened in on the many conversations that were going on around them, and one especially caught their attention.

”I heard that the Xiyang Army is recruiting again.” This was a conversation between a group of hunters, and Xue Wei narrowed his eyes as he pretended to drink a little of his wine, to mask his interest.

”The army has been recruiting for the last many years,” another answered as if there was no interest in the topic, but the first person continued to say what he had heard.

”I know, but this is different from normal,” he said. ”They want to end the war once and for all, so they are mass recruiting and training their recruits in the shortest time possible.

”They have caught three Vermilion Bird Clan members, and they have even put out the news that those with the highest contribution points will be able to get their hands on these Vermilion Birds as contract beasts.

”I am not sure how they will tame them, but it seems that there exists a continent called Chang'an, and on that continent there is a profession called a Diviner.

”These Diviners have a unique method to force beasts into accepting a contract with a human.

”It is not a pure Dao, but it originated from the Dao of Dependence. It seems that the Diviners are capable of taming a Vermilion Bird, but it is an arduous task, so it will take a long time to get all three tamed, but it is a great reward, and many are willing to take the risk and face off against the Demon Phoenix Continent for the sake of getting these Vermilion Bird Contract Beasts.

”I am not sure how they found these Diviners, but they are willing to take even Primordial Beasts and force them into contracts as long as you pay a high enough fee.”

Xue Wei looked at the others and noticed that all of them had extremely ugly faces. They had escaped the Chang'an continent, but it seemed that now the Diviners were starting to overwhelm the entire continent.

Not to mention that the Diviners would definitely recognize Lin Xiao, considering that he had stolen the Diviner's biggest treasure, the staff that he was using, and that he was the saint son who was supposed to become the strongest of them all, if he had continued his cultivation to become a Diviner.

If the Diviner were one who knew Lin Xiao, then they would also know Xue Wei, as it was well known in the Chang'an Continent that Lin Xiao had escaped alongside an Azure Dragon.

The group was contemplating what to do. Although they were working for the Demon Phoenix Continent, none of them particularly intended to save Vermilion Bird Clan members.
