Chapter 459: 459
No one noticed that Xue Wei and his friends were foreigners, their casual actions, and the calmness with which they were moving, was causing everyone to think that they were ordinary residents of the Xiyang Continent .
While they were seated, they listened in on the many conversations that were going on around them, and one especially caught their attention .
"I heard that the Xiyang Army is recruiting again . " This was a conversation between a group of hunters, and Xue Wei narrowed his eyes as he pretended to drink a little of his wine, to mask his interest .
"The army has been recruiting for the last many years," another answered as if there was no interest in the topic, but the first person continued to say what he had heard .
"I know, but this is different from normal," he said . "They want to end the war once and for all, so they are mass recruiting and training their recruits in the shortest time possible .
"They have caught three Vermilion Bird Clan members, and they have even put out the news that those with the highest contribution points will be able to get their hands on these Vermilion Birds as contract beasts .
"I am not sure how they will tame them, but it seems that there exists a continent called Chang’an, and on that continent there is a profession called a Diviner .
"These Diviners have a unique method to force beasts into accepting a contract with a human .
"It is not a pure Dao, but it originated from the Dao of Dependence . It seems that the Diviners are capable of taming a Vermilion Bird, but it is an arduous task, so it will take a long time to get all three tamed, but it is a great reward, and many are willing to take the risk and face off against the Demon Phoenix Continent for the sake of getting these Vermilion Bird Contract Beasts .
"I am not sure how they found these Diviners, but they are willing to take even Primordial Beasts and force them into contracts as long as you pay a high enough fee . "
Xue Wei looked at the others and noticed that all of them had extremely ugly faces . They had escaped the Chang’an continent, but it seemed that now the Diviners were starting to overwhelm the entire continent .
Not to mention that the Diviners would definitely recognize Lin Xiao, considering that he had stolen the Diviner’s biggest treasure, the staff that he was using, and that he was the saint son who was supposed to become the strongest of them all, if he had continued his cultivation to become a Diviner .
If the Diviner were one who knew Lin Xiao, then they would also know Xue Wei, as it was well known in the Chang’an Continent that Lin Xiao had escaped alongside an Azure Dragon .
The group was contemplating what to do . Although they were working for the Demon Phoenix Continent, none of them particularly intended to save Vermilion Bird Clan members .
Although they wanted to risk their lives at battle, they were unwilling to throw away their lives . That was what would happen if they went to save the Vermilion Bird Clan’s members for now .
The Vermilion Bird Clan Members were without a doubt at the very core of the Xiyang Army, and there had to be both King and Emperor ranked experts present there .
While they could ask Lan to help them, Xue Wei was very much against asking Lan for help . He preferred to rely on his own strength and not let others solve his problems for him .
Xue Wei understood that the Xiyang Continent had planned something big . Not only had they shared the rumors of wanting to gift the Vermilion Bird Clan members away, they were also mass recruiting new members to the army .
Xue Wei looked at Lin Xiao but saw that he was in deep thought . It was clear that the news he had heard were quite shocking to him, as his brows furrowed, and he looked down .
They heard more and more news about the army, and what they heard was quite shocking . The Xiyang Continent had not sent anyone to the Demon Phoenix Continent for a few months, and they had no intention of sending anyone now .
They were going to purge their own continent first, after which they would send all their soldiers to the Demon Phoenix continent and try to kill off the army in one fell swoop .
Xue Wei listened, but he had a hard time understanding whether or not it was true .
If even commoners knew about the plans of the army, how could the Demon Phoenix Continent not also know of the plans already? Was this a trap, or something similar?
The food arrived at the table, and Xue Wei, alongside his friends, dug into the food . They did not speak; they just focused on eating and listening, but nothing else appeared in the conversation of the many people in the inn .
They did not end up renting a room in the inn . Instead, they left the inn as soon as they finished eating . They roamed the town for a short while to see if there were any signs of doubts, but they saw nothing special, so they left the town and found a small hill where they sat down .
Here, they looked at one another and saw the grave and solemnity in each other’s eyes .
"I am not sure about those Diviners," Lin Xiao suddenly said . "As far as I am aware, the Sovereign Beasts cannot be tamed . No Diviner should be capable of taming a Sovereign Beast, so I do not know how they can suddenly appear here with the ability to tame those Vermilion Bird Clan Members . "
