Hou Niao met his subordinates. Including him, there were four of them in all.
Yuan Shangyuan came from a Side Sect lineage in the southeast. A body cultivator at the Perceiving the Divine Realm, he looked like a very taciturn man.
Huang Ruyan came from the Huncheng Sect in the Southwest. She was at the Profound Connection Realm, with alluring eyes, seductive movements, and a thousand charms-though who knew whether undead creatures could appreciate them?
Nan Xiangye needed no introduction. He came from the Shan Kingdom's provincial administration and could just about be counted among the ranks of the Minister of War Prefecture. He was at the Perceiving the Divine Realm.

Nan Xiangye sighed. "Martial Uncle said we should familiarize ourselves with the place as we adapt. That way, we'll get into the swing of things faster."
Huang Ruyan cast them a flirtatious glance. "Quanzhen and Huncheng are one family. Back in the Southwest, we're the staunchest of allies. Now that I'm here, I'll be relying on you senior brothers to look after me. My realm may be low, but I'm quite skilled in the arts of harmonization and healing..."
Hou Niao was speechless. "The higher-ups told me something happened to Gui Team's leader..."
Nan Xiangye curled his lip. "The whole team was wiped out. I heard they encountered a pack of undead creatures, and reinforcements weren't
