Wang Ba did not hurry to the Spiritwater Courtyard.
The reason was that Jia Seven's eggs had begun to hatch, and he was eager to check whether there were any new "Phantom Chickens" among the newborn little ones.
Phantom Chicken was the name he had given mutant chickens like Jia Seven, which possessed astonishing speed as well as astonishingly lethal beaks and claws.
