Chapter 266

Su Yang looked toward the direction of the explosion.

It was close—right at Nanyucheng's military headquarters, where flames had already spread.

"Storm Eagle, recon!"

In the darkness, Storm Eagle spread its wings and soared high, vanishing instantly.

"Let's go check it out!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Five of them rushed toward Nanyucheng's military headquarters.

Many soldiers and Beast Tamer also rushed toward the headquarters with them.

Nanyucheng's military headquarters had been attacked; Su Yang's first suspect was humans.

Beasts of chaos wouldn't strike with such precision.

"Be careful—opponents have at least Platinum-ranked Beast Tamer strength; otherwise, they wouldn't dare attack Nanyucheng's military headquarters!"

"Understood!"

After running a few more steps, Su Yang added: "Likely Shoushen Sect Sect members—watch out for their mental-type skills!"

This was something Su Yang had just remembered.

In the entire southwest, besides the military, there were indeed other factions.

But those bold enough to directly assault a base city's military headquarters were extremely rare.

Especially since Nanyucheng's military headquarters held two Shoushen Sect Sect disciples imprisoned.

It was even more likely to be Shoushen Sect Sect members.

Of course, this was merely his speculation.

Storm Eagle had taken position; Su Yang communicated with it and confirmed the attackers were indeed Beast Tamers.

This confirmed Su Yang's suspicion.

"Storm Eagle confirmed—the attackers are human Beast Tamers!"

Just three minutes later, Su Yang and his team saw the battlefield.

On the battlefield, several massive beast companions were fighting.

The aftermath of the battle had nearly destroyed the headquarters and nearby buildings.

Following Storm Eagle's guidance, Su Yang quickly noticed the black-robed figure seated atop a Thousand Cloud Wind Crane above the headquarters.

Silver-white light glowed from the black-robed figure's eyes.

He also saw Gao Yuan, standing atop a Azure Cloud Eagle.

His condition was poor—he looked disheveled from being beaten, and seemed restrained in battle, unable to fight freely.

Su Yang could easily imagine why: this was Nanyucheng's military headquarters.

Nearby were not only countless soldiers and Beast Tamers, but also large numbers of military families.

Many Gold-ranked flying beast companions appeared in the sky—Nanyucheng's military Beast Tamers had deployed.

But before those Gold-ranked beasts could approach the black-robed elder, chaos erupted—they began attacking each other.

"Impossible!"

"What's going on? My Golden Knife Eagle is out of control!"

"Make them stop!"

"…"

Mental control!

Powerful mental control.

Su Yang's Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly could do the same.

But controlling Platinum-ranked beast companions would be difficult.

Controlling a Platinum-ranked mental-type beast companion? The odds were slim.

Su Yang was certain: the black-robed man carried a Platinum-ranked mental-type beast companion.

This was Nanyucheng's military headquarters; the opponent likely only intended to create chaos and hold Gao Yuan back.

If it were a Platinum-ranked beast of chaos, Su Yang might consider fighting.

But if it was a Platinum-ranked Beast Tamer, leave him to Gao Yuan for now!

"It's Shoushen Sect Sect—they're after the two prisoners. Let's go to the prison!"

"Alright!"

When the two Shoushen Sect Sect members were first captured, Su Yang had visited Nanyucheng's military prison.

He knew its location—underground behind the headquarters, housing Nanyucheng's most serious criminals.

Affected by the battle between Gao Yuan and the black-robed man, the prison suffered severe damage; many areas had collapsed.

Three prisoners had just crawled out of the dungeon, gasping for fresh air and shouting excitedly: "We're free!"

"Hurry, don't shout!"

Behind them, a companion cursed.

But they hadn't run two steps when they ran straight into five soldiers!

Before they could make out Su Yang's group, Su Yang had already seen them clearly.

Wearing prisoner uniforms, holding energy-gun rifles!

"Kill them!"

Chen Ke leapt up—the three prisoners dropped dead instantly.

Not even time to react.

Release the Hellblood Vine Flower and seal the underground.

Su Yang and the others looked toward the prison gate.

The city's electrical system had failed, plunging everything into pitch darkness.

But as Gold-Rank Beast Tamer, their bodies had been reinforced multiple times; even in total darkness, they could adapt.

Just inside the prison gate, Su Yang saw seven deceased military Beast Tamers, their bodies showing no wounds.

Su Yang immediately summoned the Rainbow Illusory Butterfly, which sensed psychic fluctuations on the two corpses.

"Shoushen Sect members have entered—be careful!"

"Yes!"

Su Yang led the group into the prison, descending deeper.

They encountered several more dead soldiers.

Just around the corner, they met eight escaped prisoners.

Su Yang waved his hand; the eight prisoners, barely having tasted freedom, dropped dead.

The prison's layout was complex, twisting and turning in confusing ways.

Su Yang had only been here once and didn't know the interior layout well.

"Chen Ke!"

"Captain!"

"You and Liu Derong guard the prison exit—kill every prisoner who tries to escape!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Neither Chen Ke nor Liu Derong had psychic-type beast companions.

The Shenjiaona Gang likely still had psychic-type beast companions.

If the two stayed with him, they might hinder Su Yang's movements.

"You two, prepare for battle—release your psychic-type beast companions first!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Su Yang ordered: "Rainbow Illusory Butterfly, sense their psychic signatures—they should be in that direction!"

He pointed to the right corner, where the two Shoushen Sect disciples were likely imprisoned.

Soon, the Rainbow Illusory Butterfly located them.

It told Su Yang that they were moving toward him—and seemed to have already detected Su Yang…

Their psychic-type beast companion likely also had psychic sensing.

"What level are those people roughly?"

Upon receiving the Rainbow Illusory Butterfly's response, Su Yang smiled.
