Even if one flew at full speed in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, it would be difficult to find a way out without a proper map. Yi Tian and Ying Xiao chatted from time to time as they sat on the back of the huge vulture, but they still split off a portion of their spiritual sense to search the surroundings.
After two hours, the vulture had already flown over a thousand kilometers, but according to Ying Xiao, there was still half a day before they reached the Myriad Eagle King's palace. Yi Tian couldn't help but think about it. The territory under the jurisdiction of the Myriad Eagle King was probably not smaller than the territory of the Eastern Ao Kingdom. Along the way, they had already sensed that they had passed by the territories of several level-six spirit beasts. However, the demonic beasts' territories were not fixed.
However, the number of demonic beasts was truly astonishing. At this rate, there were no less than a hundred grade six demonic beasts under the Myriad Eagle King's command, and there were at least a few dozen demonic beasts in human form. Thinking of this, Yi Tian couldn't help but feel a bit fearful of the four demonic beast monarchs' strength. It seemed that they were more than twice as strong as human cultivators, but why were the two races able to coexist peacefully for thousands of years?
Looking at the spirited Ying Xiao, Yi Tian probed, "Fellow Daoist Ying Xiao, how many demonic beasts does the Myriad Eagle King have in human form? We've worked together many times, but I've only seen you, Ambassador Zhi Ying, and a few others."
Zhi Ying sighed, "Actually, it's not easy for us demonic beasts to take human form. Usually, only one in ten succeeds. However, it's all thanks to your help during the Myriad Demon Conference that we were able to obtain many form transformation pills, greatly increasing the success rate of our juniors. "
After this reminder, Yi Tian realized that what he had done back then had directly broken the balance between the two races. For a moment, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
He immediately changed the topic and asked, "I wonder how the Myriad Eagle King will help Princess Fengyang find a groom during the birthday banquet. I'm very honored to be a witness."
Ying Xiao turned around with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Yi, aren't you interested? It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to become sworn brothers with the Myriad Eagle King. "
Hearing that, Yi Tian was taken aback. Then, he asked in confusion, "Why are humans and demons allowed to marry each other? There are even human cultivators participating in this time's groom search?"
"Sect Master Yi, I'm afraid you don't know this, but Princess Fengyang's betrothal contest only has a cultivation level restriction. Any transformed demon beast or human cultivator with a cultivation level above the early stage of Yuanying can participate. In my opinion, Brother Yi is the best candidate in terms of age and cultivation. He has a good chance of winning this time, "Ying Xiao replied.
After shaking his head, Yi Tian said with a solemn expression, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Fellow Daoist Ying Xiao. I've already married a hundred years ago, and my Dao partner is a Yuanying cultivator. Furthermore, I have no plans on taking a concubine for the time being. It's good that I'm here as a witness."
Ying Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard that. Then, the smile on his face grew even wider. He said, "Actually, I'm also one of the candidates this time. I thought I'd be disappointed if I met someone as strong as Brother Yi."
So there was something like that. Yi Tian immediately understood. Ying Xiao had been looking at him strangely just now. If Mo Wentian had come personally, he would have had no chance of participating in this contest.
Now that he had made his intentions clear, Ying Xiao was reassured. Then, he asked, "I'm a little interested in these candidates. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ying Xiao can clear up my doubts?"
"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Ying Xiao has asked, I won't hide it anymore." Ying Xiao cleared his throat and continued, "Actually, the Golden Fur Demon King was the one who started all this. He sent someone to propose marriage to Princess Fengyang on behalf of Multicolor Roar. However, Princess Fengyang didn't like Multicolor Roar and rejected him."
"It seems that the Golden Fur Demon King wasn't willing to let the matter rest. After that, he tried many times to force the Thousand Eagle King to hold a contest for Princess Fengyang at the birthday banquet, right?" Yi Tian asked.
"Not only was he unwilling to let the matter rest, I heard that Multicolor Roar even brought people to the Peacock Clan's territory to block the entrance. This matter blew up. In the end, the two Demon Kings came up with a plan to hold this contest," Ying Xiao said angrily.
Hearing this, Yi Tian couldn't help but be moved. It seemed that the Thousand Eagle King's title as the leader of the Demon Kings was a little fake. Perhaps he couldn't withstand the pressure from the Golden Fur Demon King and was forced to agree. Seeing Ying Xiao's disdainful look towards Multicolor Roar, he carefully asked, "I wonder why the Thousand Eagle King gave in. Logically speaking, as the leader of the four Demon Kings, he shouldn't care about this matter."
Ying Xiao looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Then, he looked at Yi Tian and sighed, "As subordinates, I only know a little about this matter. The four Demon Kings were originally one family. My Thousand Eagle King and the Golden Fur Demon King are the closest, so he agreed to this contest because he couldn't bear to refuse on account of their past relationship."
Seeing that Yi Tian was listening attentively, Ying Xiao said, "Actually, the Thousand Eagle King is using the name of the birthday banquet to invite all the high-level cultivators on the Tianlan Continent to hold a contest for Princess Fengyang. Besides, who would give up the opportunity to become in-laws with the Thousand Eagle King, the leader of the four Demon Kings?"
Yi Tian thought for a moment and understood. This birthday banquet definitely wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. Most of the people who came were aiming for this contest.
However, no matter who won this contest, their power would instantly increase by a level. To be honest, it wouldn't be impossible for them to rule over a region in the future. However, he had no interest in this at all, so he could only watch from the sidelines.
Sitting on the back of the vulture, Yi Tian and Ying Xiao chatted for a while. Then, they saw a mountain peak in the distance that seemed to be connected to the sky. Looking up, they couldn't see the peak of the mountain due to the clouds.
Ying Xiao pointed at the mountain peak and said, "We're almost there. That's the Heaven's Wall Mountain. The eagle's nest is halfway up the mountain."
Looking in the direction that Ying Xiao was pointing at, he saw a nest that was more than ten thousand feet in size halfway up the mountain. It seemed like that was the Thousand Eagle King's nest.
Just as he was thinking about it, the condor he was sitting on suddenly lowered its altitude and glided towards the foot of Heaven's Wall Mountain.
Yi Tian looked at Ying Xiao with a puzzled expression, and the latter explained, "Apart from the Nascent Soul cultivators of the human race and the human race who have taken human form, no other races are allowed to fly on Mount Tian Ji. Let's land at the rest stop first, then have someone bring us up to the eagle's nest."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although it would only take a few minutes for him to fly up with his status, Yi Tian didn't want to break the rules as soon as he arrived. It wouldn't look good in front of the Thousand Eagle King. After hearing this, he nodded and said, "The Thousand Eagle King is very thoughtful. I'm a guest, and as the saying goes, a guest should follow the host's wishes. Fellow Daoist Ying Xiao, please lead the way."
