Outside the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate.
An enormous white crane with a wingspan of fifty or sixty feet rose into the air and sped toward the southwest.
On its back, Mo Yun and Lin Qingxue sat on one side, while the unremarkable-looking He Wuyi sat on the other with a pitch-black greatsword strapped to his back.
"S-so fast..."
Watching the mountain range shrink behind them, He Wuyi could not help marveling.
"It certainly is. This white crane is a third-tier demon bird renowned for its speed. It can fly at least five or six thousand li in an hour." Mo Yun pressed down on his slightly hot wrist, his expression impassive.
After a morning of study, he had gained a fair understanding of some common demons.
This white crane was a demon beast raised and tamed by humans from a young age. Commonly called a wind-chasing beast, it served as transportation in major sects, where its numbers were far from small.
"Five or six thousand li in an hour?" He Wuyi sucked in a breath at Mo Yun's explanation.
"Then won't we reach Qinghe Commandery in just three hours? It shouldn't even be dark by then!"
"Unless something unexpected happens, yes." Mo Yun nodded.
"Wow, no wonder it's a Martial Sacred Ground. We even get to ride a third-tier demon bird when we go out on missions!" He Wuyi marveled again.
Mo Yun did not reply. Instead, he glanced at Lin Qingxue, who had said she would close her eyes and rest for a while, but was actually secretly cultivating the Demon-Subduing Scripture: True Essence Chapter.
Fine, fine, fine. So that's how you want to play?
Heh, I'll grind too!
Mo Yun's expression settled. He closed his eyes and quietly began circulating his cultivation technique.
He Wuyi: "??!"
