Duan Gujin compared the words of the Martial Artists with Tie Yi's words and realized that she had not deceived him.
The reason he did this was because he didn't know much about the Soul Transformation Seal, and he couldn't yet determine how effective it could really be.
He first allowed those Human Warriors to rest well here, and then he decided to move around with Tie Yi as he wanted to find Lie Lei and others.
Hearing that Duan Gujin wanted to return to the Star Feather Tribe with her, Tie Yi's heart started pounding violently; she was extremely reluctant to return to the Star Feather Tribe with Duan Gujin, fearing that he would threaten her to betray the Queen.
But she couldn't say no. As soon as her mind began to think of refusing, she felt as if ten thousand needles were piercing into her Divine Soul.
She couldn't resist Duan Gujin's orders!
This time, Duan Gujin's return to the Star Feather Tribe was not for the Queen; he just wanted to see if he could find out the whereabouts of Lie Lei and others from there.
He was now on the Fire Cloud Continent; although he still had dozens of Human Clan experts by his side, they were nothing compared to the three major species here.
Duan Gujin also didn't believe that just with these several dozen people they could find other Martial Artists in the vast and dangerous Fire Cloud Continent.
Thus, he placed his hopes on one of the three major species here, the Xingyu Clan.
If it weren't for accidentally obtaining the Soul Transformation Seal, he would have never thought that he could capture Tie Yi while she was severely injured and forcibly control her Soul Seat using the Soul Transformation Seal.
The Soul Seat is unique to the Star Feather Clan Members of the Fire Cloud Continent; it is similar to the soul sea cultivated by Human Warriors and the Netherworld Treasure Pearl cultivated by the Netherworld Dark Clan.
The Soul Transformation Seal, a Treasure of the Hua Hun Clan, can force the Star Feather Clan Members to hand over their Soul Seat, and once a Star Feather Clan member truly hands over their Soul Seat, they will become fiercely loyal slaves under someone's control forever.
Once turned into someone else's slave, life becomes worse than death.
The controlled person must not harbor any other intentions; once they do, they will feel as if ten thousand sharp spikes are fiercely stabbing into their head, causing immense pain.
Under such intense painful torment, most people will submit.
Previously, Tie Yi's Divine Soul was injured by the Clan Leader of the Hua Hun Clan, and before she received timely treatment, Duan Gujin ambushed her using the Soul Transformation Seal.
Once she handed over her Soul Seat, even if her Cultivation recovered to the Martial Emperor Realm, she would still have to obediently follow Duan Gujin's commands.
On the way back, Tie Yi's mind rapidly thought about many possibilities.
She even considered that if Duan Gujin asked her to capture the Queen, she would strike him directly and die together with him.
Of course, she did not consider how to act specifically.
She understood that once she started thinking about how to act specifically, she would suffer very fierce backlash.
On their way back, they saw a large number of people from the Hua Hun Clan ahead.
What shocked them was that they didn't expect the Hua Hun Clan had already surrounded the entire Star Feather Tribe.
Fortunately, the Star Feather Tribe had always been strengthening their defenses against the Netherworld Dark Clan's attacks.
Therefore, the Hua Hun Clan couldn't temporarily break through the defenses of the Star Feather Tribe.
Seeing the overwhelming numbers of the Hua Hun Clan, both Duan Gujin and Tie Yi were extremely shocked.
Tie Yi said with emotion, "Earlier, I didn't know why the Hua Hun Clan launched a total attack on us out of nowhere. After I was captured by you, I finally understood what was going on!"
Duan Gujin had a gloomy expression; his mood was not too good at this time.
"Dazed! It turns out that now I have not only become a person whom the Star Feather Clan wants to exterminate, but I estimate I will soon become a wanted criminal by the Hua Hun Clan as well! If these two species come after me together, then I will have nowhere to escape on the Fire Cloud Continent!"
He had previously been grateful that he could snatch a treasure from the Hua Hun Clan, but now he felt extremely headache-inducing.
But one thing is certain, he would absolutely not return the Soul Transformation Seal to the Hua Hun Clan Members.
"Treasures obtained through skill won't be returned!"
He also knew in his heart that he, along with other Human Clan members on the Fire Cloud Continent, were hopelessly outnumbered, and that the Soul Transformation Seal was now their lifeline.
Duan Gujin understood in his heart that this lifeline was very likely to cost him his life, but he had no other choice.
He definitely didn't think that even if he returned the Soul Transformation Seal to the Hua Hun Clan Members, they would let him go.
After all, he had previously slain more than a dozen of their Clan Members to obtain the Soul Transformation Seal from them.
Not only could he not return the Soul Transformation Seal, but he also couldn't take it out.
Once he took out the Soul Transformation Seal, he would become the target of everyone!
Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he decided that he couldn't let Tie Yi interact too much with the Star Feather Clan Members.
In case she gave the Star Feather Clan Members any hints, then his fate would be all too clear.
If he were to confront the Hua Hun Clan, he knew in his heart that he simply did not have the strength to do so currently.
After pondering for a while, he decided to quietly observe the battle between the Star Feather Tribe and the Hua Hun Clan from the sidelines.
"You must protect my safety!"
Duan Gujin dared not let Tie Yi stay too close to his body, knowing that she surely harbored deep hatred for him.
What if she suddenly decided to perish together with him?
Therefore, he decided that they must maintain a certain distance between them.
Once Tie Yi made a sudden move against him, he would also have time to react.
Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Tie Yi's brain whirled, and she understood the meaning behind his words.
She felt immensely proud; she knew that Duan Gujin was definitely afraid that she would self-destruct or use other means to kill him.
This was exactly the outcome she had hoped for; she didn't want him to have an easy time.
Soon, she shifted her focus to the ongoing battle ahead.
Seeing the Star Feather Clan Members and Hua Hun Clan Members fiercely fighting, with the Star Feather side suffering heavy casualties, she resented Duan Gujin deeply.
"If it weren't for him, the Hua Hun Clan wouldn't have launched such a fierce attack on us!"
However, the next moment, she felt as if ten thousand silver needles fiercely pierced into her skull, unbearable pain ensued, and she couldn't help but scream in agony.
Hearing her scream, Duan Gujin immediately knew that she must have harbored the intention to kill him just now.
"Dizzy! This woman is unreliable at critical moments!"
Duan Gujin exhaled a sigh of relief, grateful that he had completely guessed Tie Yi's intentions correctly earlier.
"On the surface, it seems I have her under control, but in reality, I haven't been able to totally control her!"
Duan Gujin resolved in his heart, from now on, he would never completely trust the unreliable Soul Transformation Seal.
Time flowed swiftly and hastily passed.
Two hours later, after leaving behind tens of thousands of bodies, the Star Feather Tribe and Hua Hun Clan finally withdrew their troops.
Seeing the ground strewn with bodies, Duan Gujin inhaled sharply.
