After exiting the secret tunnel of Ying Clan's castle, Zhang Tie flew around Ying Clan's castle for one round so as to find some clues. Pitifully, besides 7 underground secret tunnels leading to different places which had not been activated, there was no valuable item or clue outside Ying Clan's castle.
With his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could see all the underground secret tunnels. In Zhang Tie's eyes, the entire land was transparent. Flying in the sky, Zhang Tie rapidly searched along the 7 secret tunnels. After running to the end of each secret tunnel, he didn't find anything.
The ends of these secret tunnels were all hidden places, some in woods and lakes, some in private mansions in Redmountain City, some leading to the Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City. The furthest secret tunnel was over 60 miles away, the shortest one was over 10 miles away. There were secret tunnels in all directions. However, the ends of these secret tunnels were all normal. They didn't find any corpses or blood stains in the secret tunnels. Neither were the gears in the secret tunnels opened. It meant that the members of Yin-Yang Sect didn't even have time to activate these secret tunnels. Even the fastest ones had been exterminated the moment they entered the underground space. Closely after that, the people above the ground started to kill them.
The opponents moved so fast that the members of Yin-Yang Sect didn't have time to respond. Additionally, they seemed to be very familiar with Ying Clan's castle. Although it was a bit abnormal, it was unquestionable.
After taking a round outside, Zhang Tie returned to the air above Ying Clan's castle.
Before the powerhouses of Force Emperor Immortal Palace arrived, the members of Force Emperor Immortal Palace were still surrounding Ying Clan's castle. The hillsides around Ying Clan's castle were bustling with discussions.
Without asking anyone, Zhang Tie had almost known the relationship between Ying Clan's castle and Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City only by summarizing the discussions that he had heard. From these contents, Zhang Tie could draw a more detailed outline of Yin-Yang Sect's survival means and background here.
After confirming that he couldn't find a living person, even a complete head for him to know what happened in Ying Clan's castle last night, Zhang Tie didn't think about living people anymore.
Although Zhang Tie didn't know what means the opponents used to exterminate Ying Clan's castle, he was afraid that his means might be out of their imagination.
On this occasion, if it was the first day of the first lunar month or the 15th lunar month and he could use his space-teleportation equipment, the problem would become very simple. As long as he took out an egg of soul-chasing butterfly that he got in Castle of Black Iron and hatched it, with the guidance of the soul-chasing butterfly, he would be able to catch up with those people who massacred Ying Clan's castle and possibly save Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin. Pitifully, it was March 20. Zhang Tie didn't make any preparation before. Therefore, all the eggs of soul-chasing butterfly were in Castle of Black Iron. If he wanted to take them out, he had to wait until 11 days later. By then, even the most powerful soul-chasing butterfly would not be able to trace any qi.
There was no soul-chasing butterfly in Motian Realm. Therefore, those people might not imagine that Zhang Tie could have such an unimaginable tracing means. Additionally, there was no Great Wilderness Sutra in Motian Realm. Although the most powerful battle strength in Motian Realm was above sage-level knights, the animal controlling skill in Motian Realm was almost as good as that in Taixia Country before Great Wilderness Sutra. Therefore, Zhang Tie could only use the secret skill in Great Wilderness Sutra.
After taking a look at the surrounding environment of Ying Clan's Castle, Zhang Tie flashed and came to the woods behind Ying Clan's Castle in a split second. Closely after that, Zhang Tie reappeared on the crown of a tree which was dozens of meters high. Closely after that, he made a bizarre hand gesture and shot it into the air.
In less than 2 minutes, over 10 birds had flown over here from different directions and perched on the twigs beside Zhang Tie.
There were two owls, a grey shell falcon, a woodpecker, two wild cranes, an eagle, three big chickadees, a cuckoo, some larks and a pulvinus. All the birds were twittering and bouncing around Zhang Tie merrily. These birds who could never get along well with each other in normal times were very docile at this moment.
With a rustling sound, a mountain cat drilled out of the bushes and climbed onto the tree nimbly. Squatting down in front of Zhang Tie, it stared at Zhang Tie with a pair of black eyes, trying to please Zhang Tie.
"What happened in Ying Clan's castle last night? As you're all in the woods, you must have seen it more or less. I have to ask you about it..." Zhang Tie told those animals as he stretched out his hand and touched the head of the mountain cat. "Let's start with you …"
In a split second, what this mountain cat experienced last night appeared in Zhang Tie's mind sea.
This mountain cat was on a tree on the hillside behind the Castle. When the black fog appeared, this mountain cat instinctively sensed the danger of the black fog and fled without looking back … Translator: XephiZ Editor: DOCuinn
This mountain cat didn't see too much; however, it provided Zhang Tie with the first piece of useful information — — at the sight of the black mist, Zhang Tie felt that it was very similar to the partial realm power that a semi-sage level knight had just mastered.
After injecting a wisp of battle qi into the mountain cat's body, Zhang Tie rewarded it with a generous reward. After that, he patted it. The mountain cat uttered a low roar as it rubbed its head against Zhang Tie's leg for a short while. After that, it climbed down the tree nimbly and disappeared behind dense grasses.
Zhang Tie moved his hand while the three big chickadees jumped onto Zhang Tie's palm and wrist at the same time.
The three birds also saw something, but not much. It was just that they saw it from another angle in the forest, which was different from the lynx's.
After rewarding the three big chickadees with the same reward, the three big chickadees flew away. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie had the second piece of the puzzle in his mind.
Then, the third piece of the puzzle, the fourth piece …
None of the animals saw how those people appeared in Ying Clan's castle; neither did they know what happened in Ying Clan's castle. However, the entire process from the appearance of the black mist to its disappearance became clear in Zhang Tie's mind. It only took the black mist less than 10 minutes to completely cover Ying Clan's castle. When the black mist suddenly dispersed, an owl in the woods saw 9 people flying out of Ying Clan's castle from afar.
Among the nine people, eight of them were wearing masks and black robes. Only one of them was different. It was a woman wearing a dark green skirt. She flew out of the fort with the other eight people. This woman was flying with a man wearing a black robe and a fang mask, who seemed to be the leader of those people. The other seven people had black wings on their backs. Each of them was carrying several people who seemed to be unconscious and tied up together in each hand.
After flying out of Ying Clan's castle, these people entered an airboat behind the mountain. After that, the airboat flew towards the north …
