This is a relatively remote road, with nothing around it and a lonely wall.

"Is this okay to go in?"

Wu Xiaode looked at the wall and said.

I saw a majestic castle painted on the wall.

In the continuous rain, it stands behind the lake, with the mountains at its back.

Next to this mural is a line of small words:

"The rain will stop in 20 minutes."

Wu Xiaode took another look.

I saw that line of small words changed:

"The rain will stop in 19 minutes."

It is showing the weather in real time.

"Come on, this is the base of the 'Sky Bird'." Qian Mingkui said.

He took out a number plate marked "C No. 76" and stuck it on the wall.

Rumble——

The wall slowly opened.

Qian Mingkui walked in with Wu Xiaode, and the front suddenly became clear.

This is actually the hall of a castle!

Looking around, it was raining outside the window, and the rain was quite heavy.

A woman stood at the end of the long corridor with a worried look on her face.

The moment she saw Qian Mingkui, the worry on her face immediately disappeared, and she turned to a serious look.

"Why did it take so long to pick someone up?" the woman asked.

Qian Mingkui got off his horse and said with an apologetic smile: "Only when I got there did I realize he was an acquaintance of mine."

"Acquaintance?" The woman turned her eyes and looked at Wu Xiaode warily.

Wu Xiaode was also sizing her up.

I saw this woman with blond hair, dignified appearance, and heroic demeanor, which made her first impression quite good.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Wu Xiaode greeted with a smile.

The woman's face turned red and she turned around and said, "Since you are one of our own, go and settle down first and come back to me later."

After saying that, he walked up the steps, turned into a door and disappeared.

At this time, the rain gradually became heavier.

Rays of thunder flashed in the sky.

Qian Mingkui took out two wings and handed one to Wu Xiaode.

"Bite it and you can turn into a bird." He explained.

"Really? This is the Horcrux that turns into a giant eagle?" Wu Xiaode asked with interest.

"All the wings can be gathered into a complete set of Horcruxes. They are now divided into feathers just for our convenience."

Qian Mingkui bit the feather and turned into a fat giant eagle.

Wu Xiaode also turned into an eagle.

He suddenly thought of Crow——

Crow is still advancing, and I don’t know what’s going on.

With a thought in his mind, Wu Xiaode opened the Book of the Dead and looked towards the wishing wall.

I saw a line of small words posted on the sign left by Crow: "Advancing, non-urgent matters, please do not disturb."

Well, it's still improving.

Wu Xiaode shook his head and rushed into the sky with Qian Mingkui, flying quickly inside the castle.

As soon as I flew up, I discovered that the splendid walls of the castle had large holes that could be flown through.

Wu Xiaode followed Qian Mingkui and flew inward, passing through countless wall corridors and reaching the highest point of the castle.

Here is a floating terrace with four torches burning.

A statue of a winged man stands on the terrace, looking towards the City of the Holy Name where the rain is pouring.

He had long white hair, and his upper body was bare, revealing rock-like muscles. The surface of the muscles was densely covered with scars, and his whole person was filled with an inexplicable aura.

——It is one of the four statues that I saw on the ring.

The difference is that in addition to scars, this statue is also full of cracks and seems to break if touched.

The blonde beauty stood in front of the statue, waiting for the two of them quietly.

"Eileen, we are here."

Qian Mingkui said respectfully.

The blonde beauty known as Irene glanced at him, then looked at Wu Xiaode and said:

"Welcome, newcomer."

"Hello." Wu Xiaode said.

"If I read it correctly, you are from the same world." Eileen said.

"Yes." Wu Xiaode nodded.

"As you can see, our 'Sky Bird' is specifically responsible for saving the souls of all living beings so that they can pass through the City of the Holy Name and reach the Kingdom of Death safely," Irene said.

"Old Qian basically told me." Wu Xiaode said.

"Now we have a question - look at our title of strong man - can you see any problem?" Irene asked.

She pointed to the statue.

Wu Xiaode looked at the countless scars on the statue and said without thinking: "Is he a scar body?"

"...This is not the point." Eileen said.

Wu Xiaode looked at the statue again and saw that it seemed to have been broken into pieces and was now just barely glued together.

Could it be...

"Is the powerful man with the title of 'Sky Bird' injured?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"No, he was killed." Eileen said.

Wu Xiaode hesitated and said: "Then - tell me these are -"

Aileen glanced at Wu Xiaode, then looked at Qian Mingkui, with a complicated expression and said:

"I was performing an important mission in the parallel world No. 5432, and was seriously injured during the process. I was rescued by Qian Mingkui, so I was able to come back."

"Qian Mingkui could have stayed because of his merits."

"but--"

"You came."

"Does this matter?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"We no longer have the protection of a powerful person. In order to prevent the organization from being taken advantage of, the elders made a decision."

"You come from the same parallel world, and at the sensitive moment when our powerful man was killed, you are qualified to join the 'Sky Bird'."

"What a coincidence."

"I'm sorry, what I want to say is-"

"In order to prevent spies and enemies from mixing in, we can only accept one from you."

"This is for safety reasons."

"After all, our title of strong man was just killed."

Wu Xiaode and Qian Mingkui looked at each other.

Qian Mingkui gritted his teeth and took a step back: "I am not good at martial arts and my soul power is not enough. This opportunity is of course given to the elders of my sect."

"Are you sure?" Eileen said.

"Yes!" Qian Mingkui said.

"Wait a minute," Wu Xiaode thought: "If I leave this opportunity to him, will I have to return to the original world?"

Eileen explained carefully: "Because you received the 'top' rating in the arena battle, you already have a certain position, so even if you don't join the 'Sky Bird', you can conditionally join other organizations."

Other organizations…
