Iron Plow remembered why he had trekked all the way here to wage war, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
Had he known this would be the outcome, he would never have led his men here, no matter what.
Now that Morag was dead, his fury had nowhere to go and could only be bottled up inside.
He took out the map Jade Slip and searched for the route to Harmony Peak.
Morag had originally been responsible for leading the way. Now that he was dead, Iron Plow could only plan the route himself, then find a few members of Morag's tribe to question later.
After carefully studying the map, he flew to where Morag's tribe had been stationed. There was still a Heavenly Fox here, waiting for him to claim.
After searching Morag's cave dwelling for a while, Iron Plow found a damaged set of sealing shackles, marked with several clear rows of teeth marks.
He immediately realized something was wrong. Even after turning the cave dwelling upside down, he found no trace of that Heavenly Fox. Clearly, it had escaped!
The Heavenly Fox Clan excelled at illusion arts. It had likely already swaggered away right before its low-ranking kin!
Iron Plow felt dizzy. After paying such a tremendous price and losing so many men, he had ended up with nothing. Anyone in his place would probably be furious enough to spit blood.

He beckoned them over and said,
"The enemy used a secret art in battle and should now be weakened. I'll go test them with a little provocation. If that proves true, we'll continue fighting
