"He probably hasn't come out," Huang Xiao said. "But we can't be too careless. Even if he hasn't come out yet, it won't be long. Once he emerges, I'm afraid hardly anyone in the world will be his match. Perhaps we'll stand a chance only if everyone joins forces."
"If everyone joins forces, we'll definitely kill him. Come on, let's hurry to the Three Immortal Mountains, then strengthen your essence blood as soon as possible. Time waits for no one," Demon Phoenix said.
Huang Xiao and Demon Phoenix reached a dock at the easternmost edge of Qing Province as quickly as they could.
Boats of all sizes filled the docks. Some carried cargo, while others were two- or three-story tower ships that carried passengers.
"Let's find somewhere to eat first, then rent a boat to head out to sea," Huang Xiao said to Demon Phoenix, who stood on his shoulder.
Naturally, Huang Xiao knew where the Three Immortal Mountains were.
Having served as the Heavenly Demon Hall Master, such things were no secret to him.
So Huang Xiao walked into a restaurant not far from the docks.
People came and went around the docks, and the restaurant did excellent business.
Nearly every seat was taken.
Huang Xiao was not particular, however, and simply took an ordinary table.
Once the food and wine arrived, Demon Phoenix paid no attention to the Jianghu folk around them and poured himself some wine to drink.
This drew quite a few looks.
Some of the Jianghu folk even showed a trace of greed.
They could tell that this little black bird was at least a spirit beast, understood human behavior, and was worth a considerable sum.
Quite a few decided to follow them later, kill the man, and seize the bird.
