In the end, the Scarlet King nodded his agreement as well. Bi Ji would go along to persuade the Auspicious Beast.
Ling Xiao felt that it made no difference who went with him. Even on his own, he could bring the Auspicious Beast back.
Once they decided that Bi Ji would accompany him, Ling Xiao tore open a spatial rift.
He stepped into the rift first, and Bi Ji followed close behind.
Di Tian watched the two of them leave, then spoke about the Dragon God.
On the other side of the spatial rift, Ling Xiao and Bi Ji arrived outside Shrek City.
After being destroyed and rebuilt, the Shrek City before them had grown even larger, and quite a few merchants had returned.
Compared with the old Shrek City, however, the street before them was still much quieter.
Ling Xiao had not changed his appearance, nor did he need to. No one in Shrek City was a match for him.
His opponent was Tang San up in the heavens, and Tang San already remembered him anyway.
Of those who recognized his appearance, only Xuan Zi and Huo Yuhao were still alive, but neither was cause for concern.
The two walked along the city's main street, with Bi Ji keeping an unhurried pace beside Ling Xiao.
Bi Ji asked:
"Ling Xiao, this city is so big. How are we supposed to find her?
More importantly, none of us has seen what the Auspicious Beast looks like after taking human form. Even if we saw her, we might not recognize her, right?"
Bi Ji continued speculating:
"The Auspicious Beast will definitely recognize us, but we might not recognize her.
If she turns and runs as soon as she sees us, how can we persuade her to leave?"
Ling Xiao smiled
