"Squeak, squeak..."
Amid the ruins of the battlefield, Lu Tianchen lightly patted the Hide Bag at his waist, and a golden-furred mouse crawled out.
The mouse's bright eyes shone with intelligence. Squeaking, it jumped down from Lu Tianchen and scampered around the battlefield, its nose twitching. Then it stood on its hind legs and squeaked frantically in one direction.
Lu Tianchen knew it was pointing out the direction in which Liu Qingyuan's killer had left.
One glance gave Lu Tianchen a headache. Wasn't that the direction of the Violet Sun Gate-the very direction they had come from? Had someone from the Violet Sun Gate really killed Liu Qingyuan?
"Let's go!"
Astral energy swept up Liu Qingyuan's corpse. Lu Tianchen and Zhang Hanzhou leaped onto Eagleback, and the Giant Eagle beat its wings and shot into the sky.
After flying for a while, the two spotted Sun Tao, Qi Xuancheng, and the others from above, still making their way back to the Violet Sun Gate.
"Go down and return to the sect with them."
Lu Tianchen guided the Giant Eagle lower, letting Zhang Hanzhou descend to join Sun Tao and the others.
"Yes!"
Zhang Hanzhou felt as though he had been granted a pardon. He had no desire to pursue the expert who had killed Liu Qingyuan alongside Lu Tianchen. If a battle broke out, even with his Marrow-Cleansing Perfection, he could only wait for death.
Zhang Hanzhou leaped off Eagleback.
"Screee!"
A piercing eagle cry rang through the night sky. Standing on Eagleback, Lu Tianchen vanished into the darkness with the Giant Eagle.
"Senior Brother Zhang, how did it go?"
"Did you find Elder Liu?"
"Why didn't Peak Master Lu take us with him? How long will it take us to get back to the sect like this?"
