At that moment, at the Sin Army headquarters.
The instant Zhang Zi'ang and the others died, the life sensors inside their bodies immediately transmitted the news of their deaths. The officers at Sin Army headquarters learned of it at once.
"What?!"
A senior general was stunned. "What on earth happened? Zhang Zi'ang and the others are dead? Weren't they sent on a very simple mission? They were only supposed to wipe out some pirates, and they had the advantage of surprise. How could they have died? And all of them, too?"
He was utterly taken aback by the news.
Even in the Sin Army, a master was a formidable fighter, and losing even one counted as a heavy blow. Now Zhang Zi'ang and the others had been wiped out, shocking quite a few of the officers.
"The Blood Shark Pirate Crew is certainly strong, but Zhang Zi'ang and the others weren't weak, either. Even if the Blood Shark Pirate Crew had discovered them, there's no way every last one of them would've died. At least a few should have made it out alive. What happened?" A bald general was also deeply puzzled.
A master of their caliber could rarely be killed if they were determined to escape.
But now they had all been wiped out. Not one had survived, which left many people baffled.
"I don't know."
An intelligence officer shook his head. "I heard they went to the Blood Shark Pirate Crew's lair. It seems to be on the Mist Islands, where there's a natural maze formation."
"The place where the Blood Shark Pirate Crew's headquarters is located is full of mysteries, too. Perhaps Zhang Zi'ang and the others fell into a trap and were wiped out. Or maybe they were unlucky and triggered some kind of taboo there."
