After coming out of seclusion, Ji Yuan asked Wen Lin and the others whether anything major had happened in Cloud-Rain Marsh lately. As expected, nothing had.
In that case, it was time to make some preparations and investigate the opportunity Qiu Qianhai had mentioned.
Whether he could obtain it or not, he should at least see whether the inheritance was still there. The problem was that second-order demon beast—it was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
Ji Yuan rubbed his chin as he paced back and forth through the hall.
Second-order demon beasts were frightening, but as long as this one wasn't a flying demon beast, it wasn't so frightening. Only third-order demon beasts all possessed the ability to soar through the air.
