Sima You Yue observed it carefully, and those people could only use the teleportation array after heavy inspection by the Fei clan. Also, the moment someone intentionally got close, they would catch the person and interrogate him.

Based on the scenario that was unfolding, there was no way that she would be able to obtain the coordinates of the teleportation array. Chou Xiao Tian and the others would not be able to use the teleportation array either.

“Hey, do you want to use the teleportation array?” A guard at the entrance saw Sima You Yue and asked.

“No. I came here to look for somebody but I don’t see him. I don’t think he came here. I’ll look elsewhere.” Sima You Yue said before turning around and leaving.

She left the city Lord’s residence and walked around inside the city. She took note of a few other things before leaving. She flew back to where she came from.

“Somethings wrong.” As she entered she cave, she got Little Roc to halt before she examined her surroundings carefully.

“Master, I think I smell a familiar scent.” Little Roc said.

“Familiar scent? Move!” Sima You Yue had yet to say anything before she called out loudly.

Little Roc was linked with her thoughts, so when she thought of it, he immediately took her and dodged.

A ray of light shot into the cave and flew above Sima You Yue’s head.

“Master, are you alright?” Little Roc asked.

“I’m fine.” Sima You Yue stood on Little Roc and looked down below. She was slightly worried for the others’ safety.

“Swoosh-”

Over a hundred giant birds suddenly flew out of the forest. With a close look, you could see that they were all four winged rocs.

“So the news we got was true. Cruel human, you dared take one of our kind as a flying beast!” An elderly voice cried out from within.

Sima You Yue and Little Roc looked at the dots of four winged rocs with ashen faces.

“Who are you guys?”

“Hmph, we are all of the four winged roc clan. You actually dared take our future king as your flying beast? How daring!” That elder cried out with rage, “Everyone, catch him! Be careful not to hurt our king.”

“Yes, elder!” The four winged rocs around him cried out together and glared viciously at Sima You Yue.

“Who of you dares harm my master!” Little Roc called out and brought Sima You Yue out of the circle. As he flew, he even attacked the Four Winged Rocs.

Those four winged rocs dared not return the attacks and could only retreat. Some rocs lost their feathers by Little Roc’s attack.

When the elder saw the four winged rocs actually help Sima You Yue, he cried out with heartache, “King, why are you helping an outsider? We are your real clan!”

“I don’t know you. I only know that Yue Yue is my master. Whoever dares to hurt her, will face my wrath!” Little Roc replied.

“You… do you even know your identity?!” The elder roared.

“Of course I know my identity. I am Master’s contracted beast!” Little Roc said.

The elder almost fainted as he cried out, “Willful! Willful! You are the king of us rocs. How could you be a human’s contracted beast!”

“Elder, do not be angry. Perhaps King did not know of his past identity. After all, he was just an egg when we sent him to the lower realm.” A roc stepped forward and advised, that voice sounded like a female’s. “Let us speak to King. I’m sure he’ll understand. Let me speak to him.”

“Hmph- what a fine son you raised!” Although the elder was angry, he still got his men to hold back.

That roc flapped her wings and flew over. She looked tenderly at Little Roc saying, “Child, do not be afraid. I am your mother. You should be able to sense the blood relation we have.”

Little Roc saw the female roc. Although he was suspicious, he truly could feel a different feeling.

He knew that the beast clans were the most sensitive to bloodlines.

“You are Mother?” Little Roc looked at the female roc and was slightly moved. So it was his mother. He had a clan.

“Yes, you are my child.” The female roc’s eyes began to water. She had not heard the term ‘mother’ for a few hundred years.

Sima You Yue patted Little Roc’s back, signaling him to place her on the ground.

Little Roc understood Sima You Yue and took her to the top of the mountain. Once she got off, he stood beside her.

The female roc followed them to the ground. She looked at Little Roc and stepped forward and pecked Little Roc twice softly. Her eyes slowly filled with tenderness.

“Child, you’re finally back.” the female roc used her wings to embrace Little Roc. She was extremely pleased.

“Mother, what in the world is happening?” Little Roc looked at the rocs in the sky. The weakest of them were sacred beasts. If they wanted to harm Sima You Yue, there was no way they had a fighting chance.

The female roc looked at Little Roc, then looked again at Sima You Yue, saying, “I am Little Roc’s mother. The clan calls me Ninth Roc.”

“He- Hello.” Sima You Yue did not know how she should address Ninth Roc. According to custom, she should call her Aunty, but she really had no idea how to call address a bird like that.

Ninth Roc saw that Sima You Yue did not speak, and with a flash, she turned into a beautiful lady. She was dressed in a long feathered skirt.

Seeing his own mother change, Little Roc turned small as well to match them in height.

“Mother, why do they call me their king?” Little Roc asked.

Ninth Roc stretched forth her hand to pat Little Roc’s head, saying, “Because you were initially the king of us four winged rocs.”

“But I’ve merely come up from the lower continent.” Little Roc said.

“But you were born here. That year, we had no choice but to send you to the lower continent.” Ninth Roc said.

“You had no choice? So it wasn’t that you didn’t want me?” Little Roc had always thought that he was a child that had been abandoned by his parents. Because he saw that Little Tu had been abandoned by his family, he thought that he was the same.

“We would even die for you. How could we not want you?” Ninth Roc said.

“Then, why?”

Ninth Roc sighed, saying, “This is because of something that happened tens of thousands of years ago. Ever since the divine bird passed millions of years ago, the roc king turned into the Great Roc. Later on, Great Roc disappeared as well. So, anyone with the bloodline of Great Roc would have a high possibility of turning into the king of the bird species. Every few years, a roc with the bloodline of the Great Roc would be born. However, other bird clans were not willing to see something like this happen, so before those rocs had the chance to awaken their bloodline and turn into the Great Roc, they died.

When she said this, she saw that Little Roc’s eyes flashed with pride and worry.

“A few hundred years ago, when you were born, you seemed to possess the trait. The elders then decided that that was a sign of the Great Roc’s bloodline appearing. Because those birds died prematurely no matter how hard we tried to protect them, we decided to send you down to prevent others from knowing about your existence. We never thought that, after a few hundred years, we would not have to look for you. You came up on your own. You have even successfully awakened the bloodline. So, you are now the king of us four winged rocs and the future king of all rocs.

Little Roc looked at his mother. He couldn’t really digest this sudden onslaught of information.
