Deep within the Funiu Peak Range, one could see a large number of buildings and the figures of the Yang Family's descendants.
As Yang Tianshan and Shen Long passed a giant valley shrouded in red mist, a deafening cry of a bird rang out, and the red mist churned tumultuously.
"Taoist Friend Yang, what is this?"
Shen Long asked curiously.
"This is the cave dwelling of our Yang Family's newly appointed Clan Protection Spirit Bird. It ascended to the fifth rank just decades ago and has become a bit temperamental. I hope Taoist Friend Shen will bear with it,"
Yang Tianshan said, with a face full of pride.
"Temperamental? That's hardly a good thing; it's always better to be docile."
Shen Long spoke in a calm tone, and with a flick of his wrist, a clear bird cry sounded from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.
Not a single sound came from the giant valley, as if time had stood still.
