Tie Yi had no choice but to tell Duan Gujin everything she knew.
Duan Gujin only then learned that the Human Warriors had already been moved underground, and the location of that underground chamber was known only to Tie Yi and Queen Your Majesty.
"Fine, then take me to your Queen Your Majesty!"
Duan Gujin detected Tie Yi's reluctance as she spoke, and he said with a cold laugh, "Do you really think you have another choice?"
"I...!"
Tie Yi's heart tightened sharply; of course, she was unwilling to be captured without a fight.
"I will take you down with me!"
So thought Tie Yi in her heart. With a thought, she intended to activate her Primordial Power and then, holding onto Duan Gujin, self-destruct, perishing together with him.
However, in the next instant, she felt as if her mind had been stabbed by ten thousand needles, the pain so intense it was unbearable.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on her forehead, and her breathing became rapid.
Duan Gujin immediately knew through the feedback from the Soul Transformation Seal that Tie Yi had just harbored a Killing Thought against him.
Moreover, the message from the Soul Transformation Seal told him that Tie Yi's previous Killing Thought had been the strongest.
"Heh, you think of dying together with me?"
Duan Gujin's figure flashed, retreating rapidly backward, not daring to be near her anymore.
Seeing that Duan Gujin had moved out of her self-destruction range, Tie Yi's heart sank sharply.
Now under the backlash from the Soul Transformation Seal, her Divine Soul felt as if it had been pierced by ten thousand silver needles. With cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, she couldn't even move a single fingertip.
Before long, Duan Gujin, who was in the distance, noticed something wrong with Tie Yi, as she stood motionless in her place. He could not comprehend why she would just stand there without moving.
He extended his Divine Sense to inspect and soon came to a realization.
"So the Hua Hun Clan's Soul Transformation Seal is that powerful!"
"If you do not obey, then there is only the path of death waiting for you!" Duan Gujin said coldly.
Tie Yi did not respond; in her heart, she was completely unwilling.
But the moment such a thought flashed through her mind, she felt as if ten thousand needles had pierced her skull, the intense pain was so excruciating that she wished she were dead.
Upon seeing Duan Gujin holding the Hua Hun Clan's treasured Soul Transformation Seal, her face drastically changed, and her heart began to pound violently.
"It seems that this member of the Human Clan must have already colluded with the Hua Hun Clan, what should I do?"
Tie Yi's eyes flickered uncertainly, and she became so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
Seeing tears on Tie Yi's face, Duan Gujin's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he immediately asked, "Tie Yi, all you need to do is take me to rescue my Human Clan friends, why are you crying? Do you think I'm going to harm you?"
Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Tie Yi let out a cold laugh: "Aren't you already working for the Hua Hun Clan? It's a life-and-death struggle between the Hua Hun Clan and our Xingyu Clan!"
Hearing this, Duan Gujin laughed coldly and said, "You misunderstand me! I have not collaborated with the Hua Hun Clan. I merely managed to snatch this item from the Hua Hun Clan by accident, and what a surprise it was! To think that I actually took their treasure from a group of them, this really is heaven helping me!"
"That's impossible; the item in your hands is a treasured possession of the Hua Hun Clan, only their Clan Leader would possess it!"
Tie Yi expressed her disbelief.
Duan Gujin, of course, knew the importance of that treasure, and he also knew that it was a prized possession of the Hua Hun Clan, which later ended up in the hands of a powerful Human Clan member on another continent.
As for how that Human Clan member came to possess the Soul Transformation Seal, that has always remained a mystery.
Duan Gujin had no mood to think about the matters of that Human Clan expert anymore; he only wanted to rescue the rest of the humans as quickly as possible.
Duan Gujin inquired for more details, and Tie Yi told him everything she could.
"Let's go rescue my companions first!"
Hearing that the Queen especially mentioned having strong spiritual telekinetic powers to resist the Soul Transformation Seal, Duan Gujin backed out.
Tie Yi let out a sigh of relief internally upon hearing that Duan Gujin was not going after the Queen.
She was secretly elated, knowing she had finally achieved her goal.
"I finally scared him off!"
Tie Yi would rather Duan Gujin rescue all the humans and then leave the Fire Cloud Continent together with them.
If Duan Gujin was enticed by lust, then she could only sacrifice herself to fulfill his wish.
Duan Gujin did not know Tie Yi harbored such thoughts; he knew he was lucky to have subdued her only because she was seriously injured.
Now, with the Queen unharmed, he estimated that unless his Cultivation could reach the Martial Master Realm, or if the Queen was also seriously injured.
Otherwise, the difficulty of using the Soul Transformation Seal to capture her Soul Seat would be very high, almost an impossible task to complete.
Led by Tie Yi, they arrived at an underground chamber of the Star Feather Tribe.
In that underground chamber, Duan Gujin found all the captured Human Warriors. He noticed that these warriors were merely humiliated, none of them was tortured because of his departure.
"Release them!"
Tie Yi ordered the Star Feather Clan Guards who were holding the humans.
Seeing the order came from General Tie Yi herself, the guards dared not disobey.
So they opened the cell doors, allowing Duan Gujin to leave with the Human Warriors.
On their way, restrained by the Soul Transformation Seal, Tie Yi did not play any tricks; she dared not attempt any mischief.
After they emerged from the Star Feather Tribe, Duan Gujin led the humans and Tie Yi in the direction away from the Star Feather Tribe.
Duan Gujin understood that if he didn't find Lie Lei and others, along with a way to return to the Qiankun Continent,
I'm afraid they would all have to stay here on the Fire Cloud Continent.
Therefore, Duan Gujin didn't wander around with a group of Human Warriors and Tie Yi.
Regarding Tie Yi, he was unsure what she was really thinking.
Although he used the Soul Transformation Seal to force Tie Yi to hand over her Soul Seat and controlled her Divine Soul, he understood clearly that Tie Yi would not just submit like this.
Even though Duan Gujin had heard of the terror of the Soul Transformation Seal in his previous life, he couldn't be sure whether Tie Yi would sacrifice her life resolutely for the Queen.
Tie Yi had shown him her killing aura before, and Duan Gujin was also intimidated by the strong presence she emitted.
Therefore, he had concerns.
He did not want Tie Yi to betray them. Before, Duan Gujin had Tie Yi walk in front of him.
In this way, he could monitor Tie Yi's every move at all times, to prevent her from intentionally leaving clues for the Queen.
Duan Gujin found several hidden caves in the nearby mountains and set up an Array within those caves to shield from Divine Sense Inspection.
He let everyone recuperate inside the caves to restore their Primordial Power.
Two days later, everyone finally fully recovered their Primordial Power.
After the people had recovered their Primordial Power, Duan Gujin asked them about some details before and after they entered the Fire Cloud Continent.
