Duan Gujin had Tie Yi capture the general from the Hua Hun Clan, and then they took the general with them.

They brought the general to a secluded place, where Duan Gujin repeated his old trick and used the Soul Transformation Seal to seal the general's spirit, forcing the general to hand over his Soul Seat.

After the general surrendered his Soul Seat, Duan Gujin coerced him into revealing everything he knew.

Only after hearing the general's words did Duan Gujin realize the deeper secrets of the Hua Hun Clan.

Especially when he learned that the grandson of their Clan Leader had secretly taken away the Soul Transformation Seal, a sweat broke out on Duan Gujin's forehead.

He then understood just how fortunate he really was!

"Luckily, that Clan Leader's grandson was too impulsive! He played right into my hands!"

In fact, the Soul Transformation Seal is simply a symbol of power; its importance to the Hua Hun Clan doesn't lie in its ability to control others.

For the powerful members of the Hua Hun Clan, this ability of the Soul Transformation Seal is dispensable.

After all, the Seal does not have the power to control everyone, as it has a quota limit.

Generally speaking, it can only control three people at the same time.

In battle, the Soul Transformation Seal is almost useless.

To use the Soul Transformation Seal on a martial artist, one must attack when their Spiritual Power is weak.

If the opponent's Spiritual Power is strong, it is almost impossible to seal their Divine Soul.

That means if the enemy's strength is equal to or greater than one's own, the Soul Transformation Seal is utterly worthless.

If the enemy's strength is weaker than one's own, then they can be captured without needing to use the Soul Transformation Seal.

The Hua Hun Clan possesses a very terrifying innate ability; they can control the Divine Souls of others.

Compared to the Human Clan, this innate ability of the Hua Hun Clan is extremely fearsome.

But precisely because the Hua Hun Clan themselves have this innate ability to control others, the Soul Transformation Seal doesn't seem so important.

"What's your name?"

After confirming that the Soul Transformation Seal had successfully controlled the Hua Hun Clan general's Soul Seat, Duan Gujin asked for his name.

"My name is Hai Fu!"

The Hua Hun Clan general hastily replied, with his Soul Seat being controlled by Duan Gujin, how could he dare to disobey.

He was but a general of Martial Master Fifth Level, a strength so inferior to Tie Yi's.

Thus, he could not resist the control of the Soul Transformation Seal and had no choice but to obediently follow Duan Gujin's commands.

What shocked him was that he couldn't understand why Tie Yi, the great general of the Xingyu Clan, would be together with someone from the Human Clan.

"Could it be that the Xingyu Clan is in secret collusion with the Human Clan?"

This was what Hai Fu thought to himself.

Seeing that the Hua Hun Clan general told Duan Gujin everything he knew without any reservations, Tie Yi did not have any contempt in her heart.

She understood that once controlled by the Soul Transformation Seal, one could only obediently reveal everything they knew, as she would do the same.

Although Hai Fu was just a minor general within the Hua Hun Clan, he had gained quite a lot of valuable intelligence.

"It seems that the Clan Leader of the Hua Hun Clan is here for me, and he must think that someone from the Xingyu Clan has slain his grandson!"

His eyes flickered momentarily; he knew that if the Hua Hun Clan clashed with the Xingyu Clan, their mutual depletion would be the best outcome for him.

After a moment, Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Why does the Clan Leader of the Hua Hun Clan insist on attacking the Star Feather Tribe?"

Hai Fu answered honestly: "The Clan Leader heard that the Star Feather Tribe had found some treasures, so he decided to attack the Star Feather Tribe! He wants to snatch those treasures from the Star Feather Tribe!"

"Do you know what treasures your Star Feather Tribe has obtained?"

Tie Yi's eyes flashed as she said: "I really don't know about that. Only the Queen knows the secret. We did just acquire that treasure, but we haven't fully understood it yet! Now I realize, the Hua Hun Clan had placed spies within us long ago!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She hadn't expected that some among the Star Feather Tribe would betray their own for personal gains.

"Can you take me to see what treasure the Queen has obtained?"

Duan Gu's interest was immediately piqued.

"I can!"

Controlled by the Soul Transformation Seal, Tie Yi dared not say no to Duan Gujin.

Thus, Duan Gujin first had Hai Fu hide away, then had Tie Yi lead the way as they both returned to the Star Feather Tribe settlement.

Duan Gujin still could not trust Tie Yi. He understood that Tie Yi was much more powerful than Hai Fu; she could destroy both of them before the backlash of the Soul Transformation Seal, and this was why he harbored apprehensions.

On the other hand, countless thoughts crossed Tie Yi's mind as she considered how to leave some clues for the Queen.

Soon, under Tie Yi's guidance, they arrived at the treasure vault of the Star Feather Tribe.

The place was called a treasure vault, but for Tie Yi and the Queen, it wasn't that important.

Because they didn't understand Artifact Refining, they simply liked to collect some pretty stones.

The reason Tie Yi and the Queen kept their found items in the treasure vault, without letting Duan Gujin know,

was that they judged the treasures to be artificially made, and they sensed an aura that filled them with dread from those items.

Because of their fear, they believed those treasures were extraordinary. After discussing, they placed the treasures in another vault, and this secret was known only to the Queen and Tie Yi.

So when Tie Yi heard from Hai Fu that their Clan Leader, upon hearing this news, prepared to attack the Star Feather Tribe in full force, she concluded there must be a traitor within the Star Feather Tribe.

"Damn it! Even if the Human Clan doesn't stir up trouble, our Star Feather Tribe is doomed to calamity!"

Tie Yi very much wanted to know who the traitor in the Star Feather Tribe was, but Hai Fu had already told her that he didn't know who the spy was.

She didn't doubt Hai Fu's words, after all, Hai Fu was just a minor General in the Hua Hun Clan, not part of the high-ranking officials.

Logically, only the senior officials of the Hua Hun Clan would know the internal secrets, and it was unlikely for him to be privy to much truth at his level.

Tie Yi knew that to discover the truth, she would either have to investigate on her own to find the traitor,

Or she would have to find the senior officials of the Hua Hun Clan and learn from them who the traitor was.

But either possibility was extremely difficult.

What's more, she was now controlled by Duan Gujin.

If the Queen learned of this, she might even be seen as a traitor by her, which was a matter of great concern to her.

With these concerns, Tie Yi felt incredibly frustrated and greatly troubled.
