However, He Zhao was afraid that he would need him to lead the way. If he was caught by Jiang Yun again, he would be killed entirely. He was also afraid that he would reveal the truth when he confronted Jiang Yun.

Therefore, he tried to shirk his responsibility to Kong Li, saying that his soul was currently weak and that he needed to return home to meditate and cultivate as soon as possible so that his family could feel at ease.

The little peacock agreed and even gave him a requiem incense to stabilize his primordial spirit.

“There are so many fools in this world.” He Zhao took the little peacock’s incense gratefully as he grumbled in his heart.

However, He Zhao did not really leave. He had been following the silly peacock from afar. If the peacock could hurt Jiang Yun, he could also rope him in. If not, he would have to go back to the He family and make a plan.

Originally, He Zhao was a little worried that the little peacock would interrogate Jiang Yun first. When Jiang Yun spoke up, his lie would be exposed.

However, He Zhao looked at the little peacock that directly spoke nonsense to Jiang Yun and felt that he had really overestimated this peacock’s intelligence.

As expected, Kong Li and Jiang Yun didn’t mention him at all and directly started fighting.

He Zhao remembered the place where he died last night and cautiously kept a distance from it. Fortunately, the peacock’s dharma was huge, so He Zhao could see it clearly from a distance.

Thus, He Zhao clearly saw that the peacock dharma was beaten up like a bald chicken from its bright and beautiful appearance, and even his main body was the same.

He Zhao was amazed by the peacock’s tough skin, and also by Jiang Yun’s unfathomable strength. Jiang Yun could he even crush a Spirit King Realm?

However, He Zhao saw a group of small magical beasts being thrown out but didn’t see the little peacock. He waited patiently and vaguely heard the contents of their quarrel.

This little peacock was probably dead. However, he was afraid that he would run into them when he went down the mountain, so he simply waited until everyone had dispersed before leaving.

Before He Zhao left, he glanced at Sparrow girl again. This person might be useful.

…

The little peacock, who had been tacitly acknowledged by the crowd as dead, finally chose the jujube tree as its nest after visiting Jiang Yun’s ever-changing courtyard.

Kong Li circled around the jujube tree and found a place with fewer roots. He huddled there like a hen hugging its nest. His head was placed under his wings, and his long neck was exposed without any sense of danger.

Even Jiang Yun could not help but feel shocked at his heart. It was not easy for this stupid bird to live so long!

Jiang Yun sighed, shook his head, and walked back to the attic with his hands behind his back. He wanted to be quiet.

At the foot of the mountain, Xiong Ji and Yu Sisi walked down with their heads lowered.

The two of them calculated He Zhao’s pace. It was estimated that he would still have a day before he reached Thunder City at full speed. Therefore, they were not in a hurry.

“Sigh, master looks so angry. This is the first time I’ve made master lose his temper. I thought that master would not be angry.”

Yu Sisi patted her chest with lingering fear. Jiang Yun had always been calm and collected. She did not expect him to be angry as well.

“If my ancestral grave were to be dug up, I would be angry too.” Xiong Ji expressed his understanding. When he saw Jiang Yun coming out, he felt that Jiang Yun wanted to chop off his head to pay respects to his grandmaster.

Thinking of this, Xiong Ji rubbed his thick neck in fear.

“That’s true. However, do you have an ancestral grave?” Yu Sisi’s mind was wide open. Initially, she had very complicated feelings towards Xiong Ji. From the initial caution and fear, he actually felt a little sympathetic towards him now.

Perhaps this was the so-called doing bad things together, and their relationship would become better.

When Xiong Ji heard Yu Sisi’s question, he was stunned. Thinking about it, he really didn’t seem to have any.

Thus, Xiong Ji shook his head, “I really don’t have an ancestral grave.”

After all, if a magical beast died, it would return to its original form. It would be eaten up by the animals in the forest. He wasn’t a member of any great magical beast clan, so how could he have an ancestral grave.

“Most magical beasts don’t have a grave. However, I heard that some of the more powerful great magical beasts can be called demons. They have clans, and just like humans, they have ancestral graves.”

“Like the peacock and black turtle clan?” Yu Sisi was knowledgeable. She came from a great clan, so he had heard a little about these famous great demons.

“That’s right, especially the peacock clan. I heard that each of their clan leaders is called the Great Peacock King. They will inherit the power of their ancient ancestors and reach the Sage Realm. But…”

Xiong Ji looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he continued, “It is said that the Great Peacock King’s strength should be above the Sage Realm and has reached the legendary cultivation level that is close to the god realm. Everyone secretly calls it the demigod stage.”

“That powerful?!” Yu Sisi was shocked, but on second thought, as the clan leader, he must be able to get a lot of resources that others didn’t dare to think about. It was understandable that his cultivation level was high.

But then, Yu Sisi had a bold idea, “Tell me, who is more powerful, our master or the Great Peacock King?”

“I don’t know. Moreover, the Great Peacock King is in the southeast corner of the Divine Ao Mainland, and we are in the northwest corner of the continent. Our master doesn’t like to go out, so the Great Peacock King might cross the continent to fight with our master. Hahahaha.”

Xiong Ji couldn’t help but laugh at the end. He had been cultivating for so many years, and he hadn’t even seen a peacock feather, let alone the Great Peacock King.

Yu Sisi thought so, but she somehow felt that even if the Great Peacock King really came, he wouldn’t be able to defeat their master.

Realizing that she was thinking about something impossible, Yu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh.

The two of them were walking slowly along the way. There was nothing they could do. If He Zhao had called for a powerful helper, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat him.

Thus, they had no choice but to be careful. They didn’t want to be killed before they returned to their master’s side.

The two of them continued to talk nonsense. For a time, their relationship became much better.

But very soon, magical beasts passed by the two of them from time to time. There were also many magical beasts that were rarely seen in this area.

The two of them looked at each other. They felt strange, but they didn’t ask any more questions. They had just been thrown down the mountain by their master in the morning, so they couldn’t cause any more trouble.

And behind them, He Zhao’s primordial spirit was nervously hiding on a large tree covered in dense foliage. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the backs of the two of them.

He Zhao had never expected that Xiong Ji and Yu Sisi would actually come out of the barrier. When he thought of the scene where he was humiliated by the two of them yesterday, he was extremely angry. He wanted nothing more than to go up and cut the two of them into a thousand pieces right now.

However, He Zhao suppressed the surging malice in his heart and looked in the direction of the Mount God of Heaven with fear.

He didn’t know how capable Jiang Yun was. If he was discovered and killed the moment he got close, there would be no hope for revenge.

He Zhao carefully avoided the two of them and chose another path to go down the mountain. He casually killed a cultivator who was cultivating alone under the waterfall and took over his body.

He Zhao opened and closed his palms, twisting his neck. It was still better to have a body. He threw away all the messy tokens on his body. However, He Zhao was not afraid that this would bring him any trouble for a young cultivator who had just reached Core Formation Realm.
