Chapter 567: Su Yang

Su Yang and the others could only search according to the general direction.

This was also why the High-ranking military officials of the Western Military Department suggested sending messengers via御兽师 with high-altitude reconnaissance ability.

The stronger the high-altitude reconnaissance ability, the higher the probability of finding Peng Xiangming and his team.

Xinyi City is an important stronghold of the Shoushen Sect.

If the battle took place in Xinyi City, Xinyi City would suffer heavy losses.

If the Shoushen Sect members had even a shred of sense, they wouldn't wait for Peng Xiangming and his team in Xinyi City.

Of course, if the Shoushen Sect actually did that, Su Yang's mission difficulty would drop dramatically.

He would have ample time to search for Peng Xiangming and his team.

If all else failed, he could just wait near Xinyi City!

After determining the general range, the Storm Eagle carried Su Yang and the other two into the high-altitude cloud layer.

The higher you fly, the farther you can see.

In the southwest and western regions of the Huaxia Federation, due to climate conditions, most of the year is overcast.

Ordinary pet beasts absolutely cannot fly into the cloud layer if they wish to conduct proper reconnaissance.

But the Storm Eagle was different—the cloud layer could not obstruct its vision!

After searching for a full day, they found nothing.

On the second afternoon, the Storm Eagle informed Su Yang that it had spotted a Platinum-tier Azure Cloud Eagle.

That Azure Cloud Eagle was likely a pet beast, not a ferocious beast.

Su Yang immediately perked up: "Be careful—let's follow it, but don't let it notice us!"

Su Yang didn't yet know which side the Azure Cloud Eagle belonged to.

He dared not rush forward.

If he didn't encounter the three Western Military Department emergency squads but instead ran into Shoushen Sect forces, things would get very messy!

With intelligence on Peng Xiangming, the Shoushen Sect forces must include a King-tier御兽师.

Su Yang still had some confidence in handling a single King-tier pet beast.

But facing a group of King-tier pet beasts? That would be deadly!

Su Yang was someone who cherished his life—he absolutely wouldn't do anything too dangerous.

Hiding within the cloud layer, keeping distant watch.

The Azure Cloud Eagle flew westward.

Gradually, more flying pet beasts appeared in the sky—Gold-tier, Platinum-tier, Star Radiance-tier, and even one King-tier Black Tiger Eagle.

Some of the flying pet beasts had御兽师 riding on their backs!

All those御兽师 wore black robes, and a few of the black robes bore intricate cloud patterns embroidered on the lapels.
