Liu Piaopiao asked softly, "Brother Lin! Are we safe now?"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem! We just need to hide for five days! Those people might not be able to find us, and even if they do, it will take them quite a while to dig us out!"
At this moment, twenty kilometers away from the Liu Clan's stronghold, Zhan Qingyun, the Twin-Blade Great Sage, suddenly frowned and said, "Why is there a fire ahead? There must be people there, maybe even the remnants of the Liu Clan! Let's go and take a look!"
The 109 people, along with the Howling Tibetan Mastiff, immediately activated flight mode and arrived at the location in less than three minutes!
All that could be seen was black smoke everywhere, and more than twenty houses had collapsed; the scene was utterly chaotic!
Zhan Qingyun frowned and said, "How could such a large fire have broken out here? And there's not a single person in sight?"
He casually walked to a ruin and actually took out a half-burnt ancestral tablet of the Liu family from the ruins!
Song Yasi, the leader of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, said, "Sage Zhan! This place must be the gathering place of the remnants of the Liu family! They probably knew we were coming, so they set fire to the courtyard to prevent us from leaving any clues! Look at the dust all around, they must be trying to escape in all directions!"
Zhan Qingyun looked and saw that it was indeed so!
In the distance, dozens of desert camels and desert steeds were seen galloping in all directions!
"Chase after them!"
Actually, Lin Caogen had prepared all these desert camels and Hummers in advance! He also poured gasoline on the tails of the camels and Hummers. Once the fire started, the tails of the desert camels and Hummers were set ablaze. As soon as they felt the pain, they began to scatter and flee. This was the heart of the desert, and the animals' hooves pounded and lifted their legs in the sand, naturally kicking up sand. Coupled with the strong winds in the desert, this easily created a sandstorm, reducing visibility to no more than 50 meters!
Zhan Qingyun ordered the 36 Heavenly Spirits and 72 Earthly Fiends to split up and make sure to capture all the escaped members of the Liu clan!
However, after most of the day had passed, the group returned with only a few dozen exhausted desert camels and Hummers, but not a single member of the Liu clan was seen!
The Twin-Blade Great Sage Zhan Qingyun roared in fury, "What's going on? You only brought back camels and Hummers! Where are the people?! Where are they?!"
At this moment, Song Yasi, the leader of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, said, "Great Sage, please calm down! Look, the tails of these camels and steeds have been set on fire, and now only their tailbones remain! This shows that someone deliberately used these beasts to distract us. In fact, the Liu family knew we were coming and slipped away beforehand!"
Zhan Qingyun asked, "Where do they go in this vast desert? How will they escape?"
Song Yasi said, "Great Sage! Why not let the Howling Sky Hound sniff around again? Maybe it can find their hiding place. In my opinion, they can't have gone far; they're probably nearby!"
Zhan Qingyun said, "Alright! Go and fetch Xiaotian Tibetan Mastiff!"
Before long, the hundred-meter-tall Tibetan Mastiff, Xiaotian, was brought over. He let out a low growl, indicating that he was hungry!
You glutton!
After cursing the Howling Sky Hound, Zhan Qingyun took out two baskets of salted fish from his spatial ring. The Howling Sky Hound was overjoyed and immediately sucked the two large baskets of salted fish into its mouth!
The Tibetan Mastiff chewed with relish, its face beaming with excitement and happiness!
Zhan Qingyun said, "Alright! We've eaten our snacks! Quickly, take a sniff and see where those damned Liu clansmen are."
After saying that, Zhan Qingyun took out a skull from his spatial ring!
This skull is none other than that of Liu Yijian, the patriarch of the Liu family!
The Tibetan Mastiff took a deep sniff, then its eyes revealed a ferocious look as it circled around the Liu family's courtyard.
It seemed to have smelled something, but it was blocked by a gasoline smell and it couldn't pinpoint the exact location no matter what!
Song Yasi said, "Sage Zhan, can you smell a pungent odor?"
Zhan Qingyun said, "That's right! I've never smelled anything like this in my entire life!"
Song Yasi laughed, "These Liu traitors have gotten smarter! They used an extremely strong oil to mask their scent. Look, this fire at the scene was also deliberately set off. They seem to have anticipated that we would use the Howling Tibetan Mastiff to find them! These treacherous traitors are getting more and more cunning!"
Zhan Qingyun angrily retorted, "Then tell me! How can we find them!"
Song Yasi pondered for a moment and said, "Sage Zhan! I believe they must not have gone far! They are very likely hiding under this courtyard!"
Zhan Qingyun frowned and said, "You mean? There's a cellar or something like that under this courtyard?"
Song Yasi nodded and said, "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place! They might be hiding right under our noses!"
Zhan Qingyun nodded and said, "In your opinion, should we dig this place up to three feet deep now?"
Song Yasi smiled and said, "That's right! I believe they're hiding right under our feet! Now, get everyone to start digging! Dig this place upside down!"
"Alright! Let's do it this way! If we can really capture the remnants of the Liu family, I'll go back and ask the sect leader for the top credit for you!"
Song Yasi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you very much, Master Zhan! I hope you will continue to guide me in the future!"
At this moment, Song Yasi's buttocks were sticking up high, and his head was buried in the ground lower than an ostrich's!
However, the thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends all had unspeakable grievances!
They are all Grandmasters, possessing cultivation at the Venerable Realm!
How could they possibly end up digging in this vast desert, ravines, and valleys?
However, everyone was angry but dared not speak out, and could only bury their heads in digging!
Inside the shelter a kilometer underground, Liu Gongquan listened intently and exclaimed in alarm, "Brother! This is bad! These people have started digging! They must already know we're hiding right under their feet!"
