Thwish! The moment the eagle spotted Wang Chong, its bloody eyes rippled. With a flap of its steely wings, it kicked up a gust and shot off like a comet toward the green hills to the east.
After traveling several dozen li, that bizarre eagle with blood-colored eyes descended onto the outstretched arm of a man standing under a massive ginkgo tree.
”Haha, Little Guaiguai has found the target!”
The black-clothed man beneath the ginkgo tree bizarrely chuckled. He drew back his extended arm and used his other to stroke the eagle's back while he locked eyes with the blood-colored eyes of the eagle.
Hiss!
A moment later, the black-clothed man breathed in, and a bloody mist immediately arose from the eagle's body. This bloody mist moved and shifted as if it had a life of its own. Rather than scattering, it condensed into two streams of mist that surged into the man's eyes. A moment later, red images appeared in the man's mind.
These images were almost all of what the eagle had previously seen, though everything was now dyed blood-red.
”Blood Eye! How is it? Where is the target?” A cold and aloof voice came from behind him.
The three men wearing bamboo hats were standing nearby. Their hats were slightly tilted so that the majority of their face was hidden, and they had cloaks wrapped around their bodies. They were like bats that had fallen to earth, bizarre and mysterious, their appearances concealed.
”Haha, I've already seen him. He's on a mountain twenty-five li to our west. There are many banners on that mountain, so we can't miss it. Moreover… it seems like the King of Foreign Lands has once more found many allies!”
The man in black wickedly chuckled. After being pursued for so many days and killing a good number of their men, in the end, he had still failed to escape their eyes.
”Allies?”
One of the men in bamboo hats slightly raised his head, glancing at Blood Eye in surprise.
”Mm!”
Blood Eye sternly nodded.
”Their banners on the mountain have the words 'Righteous Alliance' on them, probably some sect from the Central Plains, and it seems like it has many powerful fighters,” Blood Eye said.
”Nothing but clowns! There's no need to worry about them. Kill anyone who dares to oppose us!” another man in a bamboo hat said, his voice as cold as that of a demon god from the netherworld.
The other two men in bamboo hats nodded. As the gods of this world, they regarded all mortal factions, no matter how powerful, as nothing more than ants, hardly worth their attention.
At best, that Righteous Alliance was nothing more than a somewhat larger ant.
”Get ready! We'll move out at the Zi Period. Kill everyone!” one of the men in bamboo hats firmly ordered.
……
Meanwhile, at the Righteous Alliance base, Wang Chong was seated cross-legged on a rock, looking down below. The marks left by the battle during the day had been cleaned away, and it appeared to Wang Chong as if nothing had occurred at all.
Wang Chong slowly scanned the area and saw the disciples of the Righteous Alliance resting or meditating, their expressions extremely calm.
The fierce battle during the day seemed like a part of the everyday routine to them, and Wang Chong couldn't see even the slightest ripple of emotion in their eyes.
Killing is rampant in the world of sects. Even the fiercest battle might be like eating or drinking to them.
As his gaze move farther down the mountain, Wang Chong saw at least five elders of the Righteous Alliance stationed at the base of the mountain, storms of energy rising from their bodies as they stood guard over different directions.
Each of these Righteous Alliance elders had reached the peak of the Saint Martial realm, and some of them were even at Gao Xianzhi's level.
These five elders sat motionless at their assigned positions, and though the explanation was that there had just been a major battle and the Black Yin Sect and the Five Ancestor Alliance might choose to attack in the middle of the night, Wang Chong sensed that the Righteous Alliance was actually targeting him. These five elders in their five positions formed a cage that trapped him within.
No matter where he went, he would not be able to escape the eyes of those five elders.
”Miss Song, during the day, I heard your father, Alliance Lord Song, saying that your Righteous Alliance was apparently chasing after the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and that your senior brother Ji Andu apparently had some relationship with the Demonic Emperor Old Man. What is all this about?”
Drawing back his gaze, Wang Chong quickly turned to Song Youran, who was seated next to him. Wang Chong only knew Song Youran on this mountain, so Song Yuanyi had decided to have Song Youran take care of him.
”Does Young Master Qingyang not know?”
A look of surprise appeared in Song Youran's eyes.
”Heh, you know that I didn't pay much attention to this sort of thing in the past.”
Wang Chong found a random excuse to cover for himself. Fortunately, Song Youran did not press any further.
”So that's how it was.”
