To everyone's surprise, however, Elder Song, who was leading the group, chose to actively avoid them.
Not only did he lower the Flying Boat, but he also sent someone to inform the other cultivators not to initiate an attack.
He then gathered several cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment to deal with any sporadic attacks.
After a standoff that lasted about an hour, the black eagles in the sky seemed to realize the prey below was not to be trifled with after a few probing attempts. They then chose to turn back and leave.
Once everyone had returned to the cabin, Elder Song explained his reasoning.
As it turned out, those black eagles were from the nearby Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.
What they had seen was just a small portion of the flock, circling the area in search of food. Provoking them would inevitably draw more of their kind.
And most importantly, this flock of black eagles had a Tier Three leader with a mutated bloodline.
