Chapter 26 The Cuckoo People

To others, it was just a casual glance.

But only those who were seen knew that Fang Nian's gaze lingered on them.

He had been discovered.

"This guy is truly a genius of the Demonic Sect. He has really come to his senses and embarked on the path to invincibility."

For seven years, they had heard that Fang Nian was a genius, but they had never seen him.

In just one day, they had to admire him.

Fang Nian had only been a two-star demon for a day when he instantly killed Qi Fang!

It actually locked onto him, despite his own secret surveillance.

In fact, Fang Nian didn't care at all, because he didn't sense any killing intent, so he passed by everyone.

Just because I'm handsome doesn't mean others can't look at me!

The closer Fang Nian got to the bottom of the White Waterfall, the more puzzled he became.

The figure clutching their head looked to be in great pain.

"Why are you squatting in front of my house?" Fang Nian asked as they got closer.

The young man looked up at Fang Nian, and then his pained expression eased considerably.

He rubbed his face, which was taut from the pain. "Sorry... I'm here to extend an invitation to you."

Fang Nian frowned and looked at the letter the young man handed her.

Young man: "On behalf of the Demon City, I invite you to live here."

Fang Nian pondered, "Demon City? What's that?"

Youth: "The Demon City is the residence of most cultivators in the Demonic Sect."

"The demonic cultivators who practice under the various halls will go to the Demon City after their seven-year term is over or after they have made some progress in their cultivation."

"On the one hand, there are more opportunities and chances, but on the other hand, staying in a place with too few people carries a high probability of dying inexplicably. Going to the Demon City would be better."

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpses below the mountain.

Fang Nian looked at the corpses lying on the ground below the mountain: "Indeed, I don't know how they died there."

"The Demon Castle?"

At first, I thought the Demon Sect, a place full of madmen, was just a small town.

I didn't expect there to be another city?

This city is seriously ill!

Fang Nian: "Do I have to go? Can I stay here, or go live on Succubus Peak?"

Young man: "Either is fine."

In fact, Fang Nian already had the answer in her heart.

Wumo Mountain is a remote and impoverished place; how can it compare to the city?

If you're raising a child yourself, it's definitely better to go to the city.

Fang Nian: "Perhaps going to the city is a good option."

The young man nodded: "Those who lose their status as elite disciples in each hall will eventually go to the Demon City. There, you can gain a higher status. With your talent, you might even be able to represent the Demon Sect in the human world."

Fang Nian's eyes lit up: "So, in the Demon City, there's a chance to return to the normal world!"

Having confirmed this, Fang Nian was even more eager to go to the Demon City.

For other disciples of the Demonic Sect, the Demonic City is the place they should go after leaving the starting village.

For Fang Nian, the Demonic Sect had a train station leading to the normal world.

In his half-conscious state, Fang Nian always believed that this demonic sect was just a link in his past life.

Upon learning that he could return, Fang Nian was determined to succeed.

After completing the task, the young man looked dejected and gazed out of the mountains, filled with melancholy.

Fang Nian: "What's wrong with you?"

The young man turned to look at Fang Nian, his face full of sorrow: "Being a person is so tiring, I don't want to be a person anymore."

Fang Nian tilted her head: "?"

Young man: "I want to be a free bird, a bird that chirps and chirps every night while others are sleeping."

"I want to soar through the sky and never be trapped in a house again, living in fear every day and suffering every night."

The young man rubbed his hair in anguish, even pulling out strands of his own: "Why am I not a bird?"

Why isn't it a bird?

Why can't it be?

Fang Nian: "You're a bird now, what do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, the young man's pain vanished, replaced by a look of surprise.

He looked down at his arms, then rubbed his chin against his left arm.

It looked like a bird preening its feathers.

He touched his right arm again.

He crouched down on the edge of the cliff and awkwardly hopped forward two steps.

He clapped his arms at the same time.

Fang Nian sighed.

This demonic sect has too many lunatics; this is yet another one.

The young man turned around: "Bugubugu!"

Although he was mumbling, Fang Nian could understand what he meant.

"Thanks, bro!"

"My Delusion Forging: Emperor's Desire Technique is complete! Complete!"

"Wang Tuan?" Fang Nian suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

I think I can do that too.

How did you learn that? It seems like you learned it from a dragon.

The one I practiced myself seems to be called "Deluded Forging: Dragon Emperor Technique".

What's the use of this thing?

Under Fang Nian's watchful gaze, the young man flailed his arms, and he actually... managed to lift himself off the ground.

It didn't look like a person jumping up and then falling; instead, it flapped around and then landed very lightly in the air.

The young man thrashed about a few times and landed completely on the edge of the cliff.

He squatted on the ground with his arms outstretched, then leaped outside.

The next moment, he jumped off the cliff.

With its arms flapping, it really looked like a bird, flapping its arms and taking flight.

"Coolie, coolie, coolie!"

He seemed to have transformed into a cuckoo, chirping incessantly.

Fang Nian looked at the young man and suddenly felt a little envious.

This is someone who has broken away from the Demonic Sect.

His desire to become a bird proves he's insane.

But he really did turn into a bird, which shows he wasn't crazy.

He's no longer crazy.

Fang Nian cupped her hands in greeting: "Congratulations! From now on, you're a bird."

The cuckoo calls out incessantly, flapping its wings as it excitedly soars through the sky and earth.

Fang Nian held the baby and looked at him: "Baby, look, there's a cuckoo."

"The cuckoo bird makes a 'cuckoo' call, so it is also called the cuckoo bird."

"In ancient Shu, there was an emperor named Wangdi, who transformed into a cuckoo after his death, so it is also called Wangdi."

The little one looked curiously into the air and reached out to grab the bird.

Fang Nian: "We must protect small animals and not catch them."

The cuckoo-like figure flew through the air, chanting, "Cuckoo, cuckoo."

"Do you have a daughter? I can't see her, but she seems very cute."

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Of course I have a daughter... By the way, if you stop being human, where will you live? Can I come visit you?"

The cuckoo-man held its head high: "Cuckoos don't build nests, so from now on I can soar freely between heaven and earth!"

Fang Nian laughed heartily: "That's really good."

The cuckoo hesitated for a moment before speaking, "But when I used the Delusion Forging: Emperor Gazing Technique, I used your demonic nature, and it's been damaged. Aren't you angry?"

Fang Nian looked down at herself: "Really? You used my demonic power? I didn't even know until you told me."

As she spoke, Fang Nian smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't care about a few bucks. Let's just leave it at that."

What's wrong with someone wanting to be a bird?

The cuckoo people came here to deliver a message, their true intention being to plot against Fang Nian.

He heard that Fang Nian was a genius of the Demonic Sect seven years ago, a future Demon Lord, with a deep demonic nature and overwhelming killing intent, which even surprised the heads of the various palaces.

Therefore, he came to borrow Fang Nian's demonic nature.

Everything went smoothly, and we got the loan.

But Fang Nian didn't seem to care.

Is this the difference between demons?

The cuckoo flew away, screeching.

Fang Nian watched him fly away and wanted to go back inside.

But then I saw him fly back.

Fang Nian: "Why did you come back again?"

Du Juanren looked at Fang Nian: "Baihua is coming up; she's probably here to cause you trouble!"

Fang Nian turned to look at the mountain path, and sure enough, Baihua had arrived.

It was incredibly fast.

The cuckoo flies high enough to see people before they can see them.

If he hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have even known that Baihua had attacked.

Thanks for reminding me!

Fang Nian turned around and was about to run towards the other side of the mountain path.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a burly man running towards him at incredible speed on the other side of the mountain path.

Ok?

If you still can't realize that Baihua hired you to ambush you, then you're a fool.

What should we do now that we're surrounded from both sides?

Fang Nian looked at the azalea-like figure and had an idea.
