In the night sky, a huge bright red battle qi tornado rushed into the sky from the center of Fairy Lake, arousing a lot of people in a split second …
Battle qi tornado was the symbol of an earth knight's battle; especially in the night, an earth knight's battle qi tornado could almost be seen within 600 square miles.
Given the power of this battle qi tornado, the one who could release such a battle qi tornado was at least a high-level earth knight.
Fang Xinyi's team had just followed Zhang Tie to Fairy Lake. After finding no trace of Zhang Tie, they circled over Fairy Lake and found nothing. The moment they wanted to leave Fairy Lake, they had seen that huge battle qi tornado rushing into the sky from the center of Fairy Lake.
"Let's take a look!" Fang Xinyi glanced at her companions and took the lead to fly over. The rest of them also followed her without hesitation.
Xuanyuan Hill was like a pot of porridge tonight. There were too many confusing things. First, all the wild swans in the vicinity of Xuanyuan Hill became berserk; then, the 12 huge words completely stirred up Xuanyuan Hill. What was more shocking was that Zhang Tie appeared in Xuanyuan Hill in such a shocking way. As disciples of top sects in Taixia Country, they had sufficient reasons to be sensitive to what was happening in Xuanyuan Hill out of curiosity or in order to respond to the inquiry of their masters.
Fang Xinyi, Beverly and Fiona flew towards the center of Fairy Lake at their fastest speed like meteors. Although the battle qi tornado didn't move, it looked pretty eye-catching. Only after a few seconds, it disappeared all of a sudden.
After a few minutes, Fang Xinyi's team arrived at the place where the battle qi tornado rushed into the sky, which was in the northwest of the center of Fairy Lake.
Everything was normal on the water surface. They didn't see anyone flying away just now. Standing still in the air, those young knights exchanged a glance with each other before nodding towards each other. Closely after that, they dove into the water of Fairy Lake at the same time.
The water of Fairy Lake was very clear. Not far from where they dove into the water, there was a deep pit being covered by waterweeds at the bottom of the lake. At this moment, a large mass of mud and sand was slowly drifting away from the bottom of the lake which was covered by waterweeds.
The few of them cautiously approached and found that there was no one around. In the place where the sand was stirred up, there was a patch of broken water plants. There was also a hole in the ground, and water from the underground river was slowly flowing out of the hole, washing away the sand and making it lighter and lighter.
"I can sense bloodstains in the water here. The bloodstains are mixed with the sand, so it's not easy to distinguish them. However, my cultivation method is more sensitive to blood …" You Chuzhi's expression was grim as he transmitted his voice to the others.
"Someone fought here!"
"Additionally, at least one of them is an earth knight!"
Those knights were not idiots. They had figured out many things at once. The opponent who could make an earth knight release his battle qi tornado might be an earth knight on the same level or one level higher or one level lower. If it was the former, the disappearance of the battle qi tornado meant that the earth knight had been killed; if it was the latter, it meant that the earth knight had soon killed a black iron knight here. A high-level knight who could easily deal with an earth knight or an earth knight who could easily deal with a black iron knight would always bring stress to Fang Xinyi and the other female knights.
"It seems that people could enter this underground river. Do you want to take a look inside?" Someone suggested.
"Given the direction of this underground river, this underground river might pass by Xuanyuan Hill. As Xuanyuan Hill is in chaos, if we enter Xuanyuan Hill in such a way and appear in a sensitive region, we might be misunderstood by others …" Fang Xinyi said as she shook her head calmly. As they all came from major sects in Taixia Country, the major sects in Taixia Country always had conflicts with the imperial court and the imperial household of Taixia Country. If they entered Xuanyuan Hill in such a chaotic situation by "climbing over the wall"; especially some sensitive regions of Xuanyuan Hill, they might cause big troubles for sure.
Additionally, although Fang Xinyi didn't mention it, they all understood it — — if the knight who was here just now was also in the underground river, they would face great dangers if they entered a place that they were not familiar with and could barely move in. Curiosity killed the cat and knights.
"Chuzhi, can you sense the trace of the person who's bleeding here in the water with your secret method? If that person is bleeding here and in the water, he might leave some clues. "Ge Yuling asked as they fixated onto You Chuzhi once again.
You Chuzhi shook his head, "My secret method could only sense fresh blood in the water here. Additionally, I feel that the fresh blood is only concentrated in this small water area and is spreading. There's no fresh blood in the other places of this water area. The one who's bleeding might have already stopped bleeding. Therefore, he doesn't leave any other traces!"
When they were talking, another knight entered the water. At the sight of them, he swam towards them at once.
They were one earth knight and two black iron knights in uniforms of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country. It seemed that the battle qi tornado here not only attracted Fang Xinyi, Beverly and Fiona, but also attracted some nervous powerhouses of the Supreme Court nearby Fairy Lake.
"Who are you?" The moment they arrived here, the earth knight had asked Fang Xinyi's team about their identities.
"We're knights who came to Xuanyuan Hill for sightseeing. When we were near Fairy Lake just now, we caught sight of the battle qi tornado here. Therefore, we came here to take a look!" A knight on Fang Xinyi's side answered frankly.
The earth knight of Supreme Court nodded silently. Before they arrived here, they indeed saw Fang Xinyi, Beverly and Fiona flying in front of them. The traces left by knights who released their battle qis at night were very eye-catching. They were absolutely meteors. Although those knights of Supreme Court were a distance away from Fang Xinyi, Beverly and Fiona; additionally, the number of Fang Xinyi, Beverly and Fiona matched the number of meteors that they saw just now.
The earth knight of the Supreme Court slowed down his tone. He didn't even waste time asking about the specific identities and names of Fang Xinyi's team; instead, he asked the most critical question, "As you're the first one here, have you seen who released the battle qi tornado here?"
"When we came here, there was no one here. It's just that the silt under the water has made this place a little muddy. It feels like someone had fought here, but the process of the battle was very short. There are still some bloodstains in the blood here, but they have now dispersed!"
"Didn't you see anyone leaving here?"
"No!"
"Fine, thanks!" The earth knight of the Supreme Court threw a glance at Fang Xinyi's team as he said meaningfully, "It's a special moment in Xuanyuan Hill tonight. As you're outside, you'd better watch out in case of being involved in disputes!"
After saying that, the earth knight of the Supreme Court threw a glance at the subterranean river. Closely after that, he dove into it. Before entering it, he even told the other two knights of the Supreme Court to search around the lake for any suspicious places.
Therefore, Fang Xinyi's team had to leave the water.
…
After flying out of Fairy Lake, they stood in the air silently. What happened in Xuanyuan Hill tonight and what they encountered had completely exceeded the limits of their abilities and brains. Previously, they were all elites of their respective sects and considered themselves as the favored ones; however, tonight, they realized that they could only be onlookers in Xuanyuan Hill if a major event really happened. They couldn't even influence a person. Therefore, these knights, especially those male knights, felt a bit frustrated.
"Do you think that the earth knight of the Supreme Court has already guessed our identities and backgrounds? Therefore, he talked to us like that in the end?" A male knight broke the silence.
"Maybe. The powerhouses of the Supreme Court have very sharp eyes!"
"When we chased after Zhang Tie just now, we lost sight of him in Fairy Lake. Closely after that, that battle qi tornado appeared. Do you think that the battle qi tornado is related to Zhang Tie?" You Chuzhi suddenly asked after being silent for a short while.
"It's too early for us to make such a conclusion. However, the timing of Zhang Tie's appearance in Xuanyuan Hill is a bit strange. We'd better not publicize it. We'd better report it to our master first. As the elders of our master could never match us in terms of information sources and experience, they should have an explanation!" Fang Xinyi said calmly.
All the other knights nodded. After staying with Fang Xinyi for so many days, they all found that Fang Xinyi's words were always meaningful. Additionally, she could grasp the key points. Plus her tranquil and elegant temperament, she could make prompt decisions at the critical moment. Therefore, they all felt that Fang Xinyi's words were reasonable.
After that, they left Fairy Lake …
…
When Fang Xinyi's team left Fairy Lake, the two knights of the Supreme Court were searching in the water near the center of Fairy Lake. At the same time, Zhang Tie was extracting the last bit of water element from Han Yuanhong's water chakra using Purgatory Samsara Method and turning it into his own.
Han Yuanhong, who was severely injured and on the verge of death, finally breathed his last breath at this moment … (To be continued.)
