Yu Shi's brows knitted tightly. Following the guidance of his spirit pet, Mystic Pupil, he soon reached the summit of the mountain.
A day had passed. Wild animals had visited, and strong winds had swept through, so although traces of the fight remained, the scene had effectively been disturbed.
Traces of liquefied corpses remained as well, already giving off a foul stench.
They must have used something like the Demonic Sect's Bone-Dissolving Water, Yu Shi thought after inspecting the scene.
He had assumed that four people pursuing Zhao Feng alone left nothing to worry about. Victory had been in the bag.
So he had focused on bidding at the auction. However, he had lost the bidding for the Realm-Breaking Pill, leaving him simmering with frustration as he prepared to bid on the second day's grand finale.
Yet even on the second day, his four disciples had not returned.
Only Mystic Pupil had come back.
The problem was that although Mystic Pupil was an exotic beast, its bloodline was thin and its intelligence limited. As his spirit pet, it shared a mental connection with him and could understand simple commands, but its main purpose was tracking and searching.
It could not convey its meaning accurately.
Although Mystic Pupil indicated that the four were dead, it could not clearly convey how many people had killed them or who their killers were.
"Could they have died at Zhao Feng's hands?"
After some thought, Yu Shi felt that was unlikely. Even if Zhao Feng was a Tiger Ranking expert, he was only a little stronger than Mu Xingze. He could not possibly have killed all four of Yu Shi's disciples single-handedly, especially since Yan Yunze was quite strong as well.
"Bone-Dissolving Water..." Another possibility suddenly occurred to Yu Shi: Ma Yuan, who had escaped.
