Two figures landed in front of Jiang Chen, both clad in silver-white armor, standing nearly two meters tall, with a robust and imposing presence.

Their appearances were also quite striking, looking much more handsome than the average person.

Of course, what caught Jiang Chen's eye the most were the wings behind them.

The one on the left had a pair of dark gray wings with a tuft of white feathers at the tips.

The one on the right had a pair of gray-white wings with a tuft of black feathers at the tips.

At this moment, both had their wings folded behind them, the feathers reflecting the sunlight, appearing quite dazzling.

"What are you staring at, outsider?"

The man with the dark gray wings scolded Jiang Chen disapprovingly.

The blatant gaze from Jiang Chen made him feel a bit uneasy.

"Ah? Oh!"

Jiang Chen finally tore his gaze away from the wings and looked at the two, "Sorry, I wandered in by mistake. Where is this place?"

"This is the territory of the Winged Tribe, the Winged Domain!"

The man with the dark gray wings said more sternly, "The Winged Domain is isolated from the world. It's extremely difficult for outsiders to enter. How could you have wandered in by mistake? Tell me, what is your purpose for coming here?"

"Ah? But I really did wander in. Is it really hard to get in? There's a cave right behind me, and I just walked in through there."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen turned and pointed behind him.

But when he looked at the entrance he had just come through, he was stunned.

Where was the cave?

There was only a steep stone wall and a formation of strange symbols.

"You mean you walked in through the eye of the isolation formation?"

The man with the dark gray wings said coldly, "This place is sealed by a grand formation. How could you have entered?"

"Indeed, outsiders are all deceitful, not a word of truth!"

The man with the gray-white wings sneered disdainfully.

"I'm speechless!"

Jiang Chen was also a bit at a loss. He hadn't expected that the place he entered was sealed by some formation.

"How did I get in? I don't believe it!"

Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

With that, he focused his mind and walked directly toward the stone wall.

When his hand touched the symbols on the stone wall, it passed right through.

The stone wall rippled like the surface of water.

Immediately, Jiang Chen passed through the stone wall and disappeared from the sight of the two Winged Tribe members.

Jiang Chen found himself back inside the cave.

The entrance still glowed with a white light.

He then turned and walked out of the cave, arriving on the flat land outside.

"See? That's how I got in."

Jiang Chen said to the two Winged Tribe members.

At this moment.

The two were completely dumbfounded.

They stared at Jiang Chen, their faces filled with disbelief.

After several seconds of stunned silence, they exchanged glances.

The man with the dark gray wings said excitedly, "Someone actually entered the Winged Domain through the isolation formation. I must inform the chieftain!"

With that, he spread his wings and flew away.

The remaining man with the gray-white wings stared at Jiang Chen with amazement, his face filled with excitement and joy.

"What does this mean?"

Jiang Chen asked, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You are the first person to enter the Winged Domain through the isolation formation!"

Seeing Jiang Chen's confusion, the man with the gray-white wings hurriedly explained, "Thirty years ago, our previous Winged Tribe oracle left a prophecy saying that if someone could enter the Winged Domain through the isolation formation, they would be able to save our Winged Tribe!"

"What the heck?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback. He looked at the rows of peculiar houses in the distance.

And the beautiful ponds, fruit trees bearing plump fruits, and the leisurely walking Winged Tribe members.

It was a scene of complete comfort and harmony.

What needed saving?

However...

If it triggered some kind of quest, that wouldn't be bad!

Jiang Chen was still pondering.

Suddenly, four or five figures flew over from the distance.

With a gust of wind, these figures landed in front of Jiang Chen one after another.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face.

But even so, it was clear that in his youth, he was quite the cool guy.

His attire was also quite unique, a robe paired with skirt-like pants, a very androgynous outfit.

Behind him was a pair of blue wings.

The azure feathers were dazzling under the sunlight.

The information showed that his name was [Yi Qingyun].

The four behind him were all clad in silver-white armor, with wings that were either gray-white or dark gray.

"Greetings, Chieftain!"

The man with the gray-white wings who had stayed behind respectfully called out to Yi Qingyun.

"Mm."

Yi Qingyun nodded, his gaze falling on Jiang Chen. After sizing him up for a moment, he asked, "Young man, are you from another world?"

"That's right, I'm an adventurer from another world."

Jiang Chen nodded in response.

"As expected, only someone from another world could enter the Winged Domain through the isolation formation."

Yi Qingyun mused, then continued, "But why do you have the aura of the Light Church on you?"

"Hmm? I have the aura of the Light Church on me?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. He hadn't even joined the Light Church yet.

How could he have the aura of the Light Church?

"Indeed, you have definitely had close contact with someone or something from the Light Church!"

Yi Qingyun's expression was serious as he stared directly at Jiang Chen, "Or perhaps, you are from the Light Church!"

Jiang Chen could see the obvious hostility in his eyes.

This guy had a grudge against the Light Church!

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'm not from the Light Church."

"Although you are the first to enter our Winged Domain through the isolation formation and should be considered an honored guest of our Winged Tribe, the aura of the Light Church on you makes it hard for me to trust you." Yi Qingyun said with a frown.

"You misunderstand. The aura of the Light Church on me is probably from a conflict I had with them earlier."

Jiang Chen said calmly, without a hint of guilt.

"Oh?"

Yi Qingyun's eyes lit up slightly, but he remained somewhat skeptical, "What kind of conflict?"

"Just before this, a squad of Judicators from the Light Church tried to recruit me, but I taught them a harsh lesson and even took their mount!"

Jiang Chen replied righteously, "I am at odds with the Light Church and would never align with them!"

"Indeed, the aura of the Light Church on you is mixed with the scent of the Griffin Beast mount."

Seeing Jiang Chen's righteous demeanor, belittling the Light Church, Yi Qingyun's wariness vanished.

He said apologetically, "It seems I misunderstood you. I am Yi Qingyun, the chieftain of the Winged Tribe. May I know your esteemed name?"

"Mortal World."

Jiang Chen smiled at Yi Qingyun, "So, Chieftain Yi also has a grudge against the Light Church like I do!"

"Of course, we have a grudge. Our people were brutally slaughtered by the Light Church. Back then, we had thousands of tribe members, but now only a few hundred remain."

Yi Qingyun said with resentment, "Over thirty years ago, our king was severely injured by the Pope and has yet to awaken!"

"The Church did such things? That's despicable!" Jiang Chen agreed.

"Our people have always loved peace, but the Church claimed that the existence of the Winged Tribe desecrated angels and sought to exterminate us. Now, we can only hide in the Winged Domain, even venturing out requires extreme caution."

"And because our king cannot awaken, the Winged Tribe has lost its source of life. We can no longer reproduce and are gradually dying out!"

Yi Qingyun clenched his fists tightly, his wings trembling with anger.

It was clear he was furious.

"This is a grudge of annihilation!"

Jiang Chen remarked.

"But now that you're here!"

Yi Qingyun's expression shifted from anger to excitement as he looked at Jiang Chen, "We've been waiting for you, esteemed Mortal World!"

Uh...

Are they expecting me to go to war with the Light Church?

Jiang Chen was taken aback.
