The Blazing Sun Demon Lord stood stunned for a long while before finally believing this fact.
He let out a chuckle. "I only told you to test him casually. Who would have thought that fool would actually go!"
At his side, Yuchi Jia said, "Perhaps that Dragon Crossing the River is so skilled that he is fearless, and simply does not believe the Fire Crow Shrine harbors lethal danger."
The Blazing Sun Demon Lord stroked his chin for a long while in thought before finally making a decision. "In that case, there is no need to wait another three days. We act tonight!"
Yuchi Jia's heart trembled. "My lord, that man's origins are suspicious. We still have not figured out his background. If we act now, what if..."
The Blazing Sun Demon Lord waved his hand with a smile. "Ever since I came to settle in the Fire Crow Waters, in all these long years, have you ever seen anyone emerge alive from the Fire Crow Shrine?"
Yuchi Jia shook his head. "No."
"Being cautious is a good thing, but being overly cautious is simply cowardly!"
Confidence colored the Blazing Sun Demon Lord's voice. "Rest assured. Anyone who enters the Fire Crow Shrine will undoubtedly die, unless they are a god!"
Back then, one major reason he had entered the Fire Crow Waters on behalf of the Longevity Palace was to guard that mysterious Fire Crow Shrine.
It was merely that very few people knew of this matter.
Fire Crow City had neither day nor night, nor did it have a sky. Above lay a boundless region of chaos-like nothingness.
It was a place even gods could not reach.
When traveling the Epoch River, there were two greatest taboos—
Going up into the sky and descending into the river.
