Chapter 263: Brothers Meet

Hou Niao slowly disappeared in the mist, leaving silence all around.

In the mountain forest, the birds and beasts seemed to have vanished as well, but he had a feeling that these creatures were quietly observing this unfamiliar intruder.

In mountain forests like this within human territories, there usually weren't any Great Demons. Even if there were, they typically had some form of link to the human world. In Xionger, humans and demons lived in relative harmony, which is why he dared to venture into the mountains alone.

When traversing such forests, the most important thing was not to provoke the hostility of the mountain beasts; he was not an Upper Cultivator, and he did not possess the kind of aura that would make mountain beasts stay far away. Therefore, a single misstep could easily lead to misunderstandings.

Luckily, his previous experience in Jingyang Mountain had taught him how to keep the mountain beasts quiet, ensuring they did not perceive him as a threat.
