Ye Zhen used an illusory body to trick Black Cloud Great Sage and his men, leading them away from his Grand Saint Mansion. While they were gone, Ye Zhen attacked the mansion, killing the remaining Demon Commanders and burning it down with his Bone-attached Poison Dragon Flame, much to the fury of Black Cloud Great Sage.

Black Cloud Great Sage’s Grand Saint Mansion being burned wasn’t just a slap to his own face, it greatly impacted the Tiger Clan.

Not only was Black Cloud Great Sage’s dignity trampled into the dirt, becoming a laughingstock within the Tiger Clan, the Black Tiger King’s lineage also lost face, indirectly becoming a joke among the clan.

It was precisely because of this reason that Purple Whisker Great Sage hurried over, making his presence known.

Previously, when Black Cloud Great Sage’s subordinates were killed causing chaos, Purple Whisker Great Sage could ignore it, but with the burning of the Grand Saint Mansion, if he didn’t react, once Black Tiger King emerged from seclusion, Black Cloud Great Sage would undoubtedly face serious trouble, and ignoring the issue would not bode well for Purple Whisker Great Sage either.

It wasn’t just Purple Whisker Great Sage; every named Great Saint under the Black Tiger King who got even a hint of the news was on the scene personally, or sent their capable subordinates.

In the blink of an eye, the burning of Black Cloud Great Sage’s Grand Saint Mansion turned into a collective incident.

Within just half a quarter-hour, nearly a hundred Dao Realm practitioners and over a dozen Titled Great Sages gathered above the compound, which had become ruins.

Even Teeth Tiger Great Saint and Blood Shadow Great Saint, who oversaw Black Tiger King’s trusted aides, sent people to attend.

Teeth Tiger Great Saint was on duty at the Black Tiger King Palace and couldn’t come personally, so he sent his capable Dao Realm underlings, while Blood Shadow Great Saint, who oversaw the right-hand aides, arrived in person.

Meanwhile, at the door of Black Tiger King Palace’s residential palace, Teeth Tiger Great Saint recorded the night’s events onto a Jade Scroll and presented it at the palace gates.

On the other side, nearly a hundred Dao Realm practitioners and over a dozen Titled Great Sages gathered, each with a somewhat ugly expression.

If a Grand Saint Mansion belonging to an ordinary Titled Great Sage had been burned, it could be overlooked.

But Black Cloud Great Sage happened to be a direct lineage of Black Tiger King, a strong contender and heir for the future Black Tiger King throne.

The burning of Black Cloud Great Sage’s Grand Saint Mansion was equivalent to a slap to the entire Black Tiger lineage, so they were determined to make a statement tonight.

"This incident must not be left unresolved! If we don’t find the culprit, our Black Tiger lineage will become a laughingstock of the whole Tiger Clan!

Moreover, when Father King emerges from seclusion, how will we face him?"

Purple Whisker Great Sage and Black Cloud Great Sage were the most formidable contenders for the Black Tiger King throne. Currently, with Black Cloud Great Sage being humiliated, he could only remain silent and allow Purple Whisker Great Sage to take charge.

Moreover, Black Cloud Great Sage couldn’t prevent Purple Whisker Great Sage from taking such actions.

Being humiliated so badly, if he couldn’t quickly find the culprit, it wouldn’t just be a loss of face, it would be a total disgrace.

But his own strength was clearly insufficient, so he could only remain silent and borrow the power of Purple Whisker Great Sage and others to find the culprit.

"Alright, whatever needs to be done, we will all follow Purple Whisker Great Sage’s instructions!" Blood Shadow Great Saint, one of Black Tiger King’s two confidants, spoke up, and the other Great Sages naturally agreed.

"The perpetrator is extremely cunning, but our Third Brother’s men were already monitoring the entire White Tiger Mountain area, and no matter how cunning the perpetrator is, they likely haven’t gone far.

Since all you Great Sages have come to help, why not let me arrange something. We can set up a Heaven and Earth Net to catch the perpetrator and make them pay dearly, what do you think?"

Once Purple Whisker Great Sage spoke, the Great Saints of the Black Tiger lineage all voiced their agreement, with no dissent.

Immediately, after a brief exchange with his think tank advisor Hu Feng, Purple Whisker Great Sage came up with a feasible plan.

Moreover, from the incident itself, if Purple Whisker Great Sage could catch the perpetrator under his leadership, it would significantly boost his standing when Black Tiger King emerged from seclusion.

Imagine that, with Purple Whisker Great Sage greatly gaining favor, while Black Cloud Great Sage losing favor, the future of the Black Tiger King throne would lean clearly towards one of them.

Thus, from the start of the hunt for the culprit, Purple Whisker Great Sage devoted his full efforts.

Think Tank Hu Feng devised a simple and effective strategy, involving range searches.

First dispatch a team of extremely fast-moving Tiger Clan Dao Realm practitioners to quickly reach 2 million miles away, to prevent the culprit from escaping.

Then create layers of encirclement, searching each layer thoroughly, making it difficult for the perpetrator to escape even with wings.

Almost as soon as Purple Whisker Great Sage’s plan was made, a Tiger Clan Great Saint suddenly revealed his true form, a magnificent silver giant tiger.

With a roar, space rippled slightly, and he disappeared with five Tiger Clan Dao Realm practitioners.

A hundred breaths later, that silver giant tiger reappeared before everyone, then disappeared with another five Tiger Clan Dao Realm practitioners, repeating the process six times before returning to human form and reporting to Purple Whisker Great Sage.

"Great Sage, I report, as per your military orders, I have sent thirty-six Dao Realm practitioners to six different directions a million miles away, and they are currently setting up a Grand Formation and beginning to check all passing individuals."

"Good, you’ve worked hard!"

In no time, another silver giant tiger came to report, stating that twenty-four Dao Realm practitioners had been sent to fifty thousand miles away, and they also set up patrol formations.

In less than an hour, a Heaven and Earth Net was set up within a million miles centered around White Tiger City.

When Big Ears told Ye Zhen all he had heard, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

Thankfully, just after burning the Grand Saint Mansion, he had retrieved Big Ears and the little cat back into the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space, otherwise, things could have been troublesome.

Tonight, Ye Zhen truly witnessed the terrifying heritage of the ancient Tiger Clan of the Demon Race.

In the Heavenly Temple, only the top Dao Realm practitioners who specialize exclusively in Spatial Power can instantly break through the void and escape a million miles.

But in the Tiger Clan, Ye Zhen had seen more than four who could instantly escape a million miles today.

These experts who can instantaneously bring others along to escape a million miles are all strategic-level existences.

Thankfully, Ye Zhen had not hurried to leave earlier, otherwise, he might have been caught right on the spot.

"Since you’re cornering me, go ahead and try, just see if you can find me!"

With a cold laugh, Ye Zhen put Big Ears into the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space, giving him a bottle of Pill and dozens of Spirit Void Fruits before he did.

"You did well today, cultivate diligently!"

Truth be told, Ye Zhen could burn the Grand Saint Mansion today greatly thanks to Big Ears.

It was exactly because Big Ears used his Heavenly Sound Divine Ability to overhear Black Cloud Great Sage’s hasty bait plan that Ye Zhen dared to launch the attack and set fire to the Grand Saint Mansion.

Not to mention when attacking the thirty-one Demon Commanders earlier, Big Ears Nie Ting pointed out the positions and movements of the nearby masters accurately to Ye Zhen.

This Heavenly Sound Divine Ability from Big Ears was becoming more proficient with use, and suddenly, Ye Zhen understood why the Heavenly Sound Clan of which Big Ears was a part had been exterminated.

Given the immensely powerful strategic auxiliary Divine Skill of the Heavenly Sound Clan, if one couldn’t possess them for oneself, then no other power should either.

In such circumstances, it would be strange if a clan with inherently not so strong combat capabilities was not exterminated.

Ye Zhen was now resolved that Big Ears’ Heavenly Sound Divine Ability must be kept under wraps as much as possible in the future.

Just then, after the encircling formation was completed, each Titled Great Sage of the Black Tiger lineage, along with several powerful Dao Realm practitioners, spread their Divine Sense out in a tidal wave, meticulously searching every inch of land as if passing through a fine sieve.

Before these vast ocean-like Divine Senses reached him, Ye Zhen transformed into a streak of light, slipping into the gnarled root of a tree where the Little Demon was possessing.

Countless waves of Divine Sense swept over this tree root, yet none lingered even for a moment!
