Tie Yi had always been her trusted general; she once helped Queen to overcome numerous crises, even blocking an assassination attempt by the Hua Hun Clan Patriarch on her behalf the last time.
If she hadn't heard the report from her subordinates, she would never believe that Tie Yi would betray her and the entire Xingyu Clan.
But this time, many ordinary soldiers saw Tie Yi hand in hand with Duan Gujin, and Queen knew these ordinary soldiers had no reason to lie to her.
Moreover, all the Human Warriors imprisoned in the underground chambers had been rescued, and she believed it must be Tie Yi's doing.
After all, only she and Tie Yi knew where those Human Warriors were detained.
"Bitch!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier Queen became.
She never expected that at the critical moment of the decisive battle with the Hua Hun Clan, Tie Yi would run away with a Human Warrior, an action she found utterly unacceptable.
Queen previously thought that Tie Yi had been taken away by a sneak attack from the Hua Hun Clan, and she was deeply saddened for her.
When she learned that Tie Yi had run away with a Human Warrior, she was absolutely furious.
She wished she could capture Tie Yi and tear her to pieces.
After some thought, she issued an order.
"Spread my command, I am now issuing a warrant for Tie Yi's capture, anyone who sees her must report immediately! Alive or dead! Report her whereabouts and receive ten top-notch nests! If she is captured alive, receive a thousand top-notch nests!"
For the Xingyu Clan, nests are very enticing, and there are many types of nests within the Star Feather Tribe.
Generally, only commanders of the Xingyu Clan are eligible for a top-notch nest.
The top-notch nests differ significantly from ordinary ones, primarily because the Primordial Power inside a top-notch nest is more than ten times that of an ordinary nest.
This means that once a Xingyu Clan Member owns a top-notch nest, their Cultivation could be much more effective.
And with Queen's order, as long as someone discovers Tie Yi's whereabouts and properly reports them after verifying the information, the reporter would be entitled to a top-notch nest.
For the Clan Members of the Xingyu Clan, this reward is extraordinarily generous.
Once this news spread, it caused a major shock within the Star Feather Tribe.
As it was a critical moment in the decisive battle between the Xingyu Clan and the Hua Hun Clan, though many Clan Members had been sacrificed, they still couldn't repel the Hua Hun Clan.
The morale of the Xingyu Clan was already low, and at this critical juncture, the highly respected General Tie Yi betrayed the Xingyu Clan, defected to the Human Clan, and colluded with them; it was like pouring kerosene on a fire, causing immediate turmoil amongst the Xingyu Clan.
For a while, every Clan Member of the Xingyu Clan viewed Tie Yi with deep hostility.
In their hearts, Tie Yi was the most shameful traitor.
"You've killed me!"
In a cave not far from the Hua Hun Clan army, Tie Yi said to Duan Gujin.
Her face was pale as she knew all too well that even if she returned to the Star Feather Tribe, she would definitely be despised by the Xingyu Clan Members.
She was now a traitor to the Xingyu Clan!
She hated Duan Gujin to death in her heart, but under the control of the Soul Transformation Seal, she had completely submitted to Duan Gujin.
And Duan Gujin was preparing to infiltrate the Hua Hun Clan with Hai Fu, aiming to sabotage their operation this time.
Whether it's the Xingyu Clan or the Hua Hun Clan, having either of these two great species become too powerful was not good for him.
What he needed to do now was to first repel the Hua Hun Clan to give the Star Feather Tribe some breathing room.
If the Xingyu Clan were to be eliminated, the Patriarch of the Hua Hun Clan would definitely do everything in his power to find him, the prime culprit who killed his grandson, and then torture him with the most brutal methods.
Such an outcome was naturally not what Duan Gujin wished to see.
Duan Gujin and Tie Yi disguised themselves as members of the Hua Hun Clan before infiltrating their midst.
Tie Yi, being at the Martial Emperor Realm, could naturally channel Primordial Power and morph her appearance to look similar to a member of the Hua Hun Clan for a short period.
This transformation could only last a very short time, but it was enough for her.
After infiltrating the Hua Hun Clan, Duan Gujin initially wanted to find their weaknesses.
However, to his disappointment, he did not find any weaknesses in the Hua Hun Clan.
This time, the Hua Hun Clan came with a threatening force. Although they did not have any geographical advantage, they had the advantage in numbers, gathering more than ten times the people of the Star Feather Tribe and catching the Star Feather Tribe off guard.
After infiltrating for half an hour, Duan Gujin left with Tie Yi and Hai Fu.
The three of them hid in a secluded spot more than ten kilometers away from the Hua Hun Clan, with Duan Gujin frowning heavily, racking his brains to find a way to help the Xingyu Clan resolve this crisis.
From the current situation, if the Xingyu Clan couldn't withstand this attack from the Hua Hun Clan, it was possible that the entire Star Feather Tribe would be conquered, leading to their eventual extinction.
"Tie Yi, think of a solution too! You don't want your Xingyu Clan to really be annihilated by the Hua Hun Clan, right? Look at how many of them came this time; they've almost come out in full force!"
Duan Gujin knew that Tie Yi would definitely be very worried about the Xingyu Clan's safety, so he deliberately provoked her to force her to think of a solution to protect the Xingyu Clan like him.
Unable to fathom Duan Gujin's true intentions, but since he was willing to let her think of ways to protect the Xingyu Clan, she was naturally glad to start brainstorming for solutions.
She knitted her brows deeply, contemplating for more than two hours, but ultimately, she couldn't come up with any good solutions.
She understood in her heart that this time, the Hua Hun Clan was truly determined to obliterate the Xingyu Clan, sparing no effort even if it meant coming out in full force.
And the prime culprit who caused today's situation was Duan Gujin right beside her!
Thinking of this, Tie Yi wished she could tear Duan Gujin into pieces!
But she dared not; the thought of what to do with Duan Gujin merely flashed through her mind, and the next moment, she felt as if ten thousand silver needles were viciously stabbing her head, her fear of pain preventing her from thinking too much.
"Master, I really can't think of any way to save the Xingyu Clan!"
In the end, Tie Yi could only express helplessly.
Despite her great unwillingness, if she didn't address him as "master," her head would immediately start to hurt severely.
She feared the pain and thus submitted.
Duan Gujin felt delighted inside when Tie Yi called him master.
"Tie Yi, if you really can't think of any good methods to deal with the Hua Hun Clan, then soon, you will truly witness the complete annihilation of your Xingyu Clan! Don't avoid thinking of solutions as a way to take revenge on me!"
Duan Gujin said, his current mindset being to continuously provoke Tie Yi, pushing her to devise ways to overcome the challenge posed by the Hua Hun Clan.
After a while, Tie Yi answered: "Master, the Hua Hun Clan is aggressively advancing. Unless we find a way to make them retreat, the Xingyu Clan will indeed face a catastrophe!"
"Make them have no choice but to retreat?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp glint.
