The black eagle’s eyes had been dug out and there was no way it could regain its sight.

The Azure Cloud Eagle couple were rather depressed. The black eagle’s mother had already cried many times. In the end, its father recalled a legend regarding their clan.

“The Azure Cloud Eagle Clan is famed for our speed and superb vision. According to legend, in the ancient era, the Azure Cloud Eagle Clan grew a second pair of eyes in its body. However, that is only a legend. We don’t know the authenticity of this legend.”

That was only a legend, but right now, they needed hope, even if the chances were slim.

When Xia Muqing heard the legend, her hand that was checking the black eagle paused for a moment. In order to prevent an infection, she took out a clean piece of gauze and placed it around its eyes.

It was about time for them to leave the Sunset Mountains.

After a discussion, the black eagle still followed Xia Muqing. The Azure Cloud Eagle couple went back home unwillingly.

As for the little phoenix, it insisted on following them. Xia Muqing didn’t want it to interact with humans, but Jiang Yifan suddenly quipped, “Let it follow us. Otherwise, it will definitely follow us secretly.”

Xia Muqing could only nod in agreement after some contemplation.

The little phoenix cried out in joy and flew to a comfortable spot on Jiang Yifan’s head.

The group left the Sunset Mountains and went to the periphery of the mountain range. Jiang Yifan expressed that he wanted to go home and take a look. So the group headed to the Jiang residence.

Arriving at the Jiang residence, Jiang Yifan knocked on the door with a wide smile. After all, this was the first time he had left home for so long.

Strangely, there was no response.

Jiang Yifan felt that something was wrong and kicked the door open. The entire house looked the same as when they had left, but silence filled the entire space.

Xia Muqing also frowned and said, “Let’s go in and take a look.”

The few of them quickly scanned the entire house but they didn’t see anyone. The entire Jiang family didn’t seem to have been attacked or killed. It was as though they had gone out to play.

Jiang Yifan rushed out. “Sister, our library was ransacked.”

The few of them went to the Jiang family’s library. Xia Muqing had lived in the Jiang family for some time previously, but she had no idea that the Jiang family had such a huge library.

They had an imposing five-story high library. After entering, she realized that the bookshelves inside had been flipped over and the books on the first level were scattered on the ground. From the second level to the fifth level, all the books had disappeared.

Jiang Yifan explained, “This library has existed since I was young. My parents only allowed me to enter and read, but they have never allowed my brother to enter. Everything I know and understand was what I have read in the ancient books here.”

Xia Muqing nodded in understanding. No wonder Jiang Yifan was knowledgeable despite the fact that he had never stepped out of the family house before.

Jiang Yifan anxiously said, “Something must have happened to my parents and brother.”

Xia Muqing frowned as she looked at the messy bookshelves in the library. This was the only place in the Jiang family that had been ransacked. It seemed that the people who took the Jiang family away wanted something from the library.

Xia Muqing asked, “Do you know why anyone would want anything with this library?”

Jiang Yifan suddenly thought of something and rushed to the fifth level. He searched the wall and found a place to press the button.

Xia Muqing and the others caught up with him and happened to see him opening a small hidden compartment. A squarish secret compartment appeared on the wall.. Jiang Yifan took out a palm-sized wooden box and opened it to see a black pearl.
