89: rescue

Seeing the situation here, Qin Yue knew that the condition of his two Senior Brothers was certainly not optimistic.

Therefore, Qin Yue needed to find the location of his two Senior Brothers faster.

Since the Demon Slayer Division's power here had been completely destroyed, Qin Yue had no way to use the Demon Slayer Division's strength to find his two Senior Brothers.

However, what the Human Race couldn't do, the Yao Race might be able to.

Those Great Yao would definitely send Small Yao to search for the whereabouts of his two Senior Brothers, so Qin Yue only needed to understand the movements of those Small Yao to know the approximate location of his two Senior Brothers.

Qin Yue activated his Super-Sense to its maximum, conducting a carpet search around the battle site, and quickly found traces of the Yao Race.

Following the Yao Race, Qin Yue finally found the majestic mountain called Zao Yan Mountain where his two Senior Brothers were hiding.

At this time, over a thousand Yao Race members were searching the mountain for the hiding place of the two Ninggang Realm Martial Artists.

Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this situation; he was afraid that because he had arrived too late, his two Senior Brothers had already been harmed.

Now that these Small Yao were still searching, his two Senior Brothers should still be alive.

It was also the good fortune of his two Senior Brothers that Zao Yan Mountain was entirely composed of rock, with countless large and small crevices where people could hide, so those Yao Race members had not yet found the whereabouts of the two Ninggang Realm Martial Artists.

But Qin Yue had arrived; how should he rescue his two Senior Brothers?

Qin Yue thought about it; actually, there was no rush to rescue his two Senior Brothers. Since they had been able to hide for so long, they wouldn't mind hiding a bit longer.

The information about the Yao Race outside was more important.

If Qin Yue had the ability to directly kill the Yao Race members outside, then there would be no need to rush the search for his two Senior Brothers at all.

Even if Qin Yue was not a match for the Ninggang Realm Yao Race members searching outside, he could still know himself and his enemy, and plan his rescue of his two Senior Brothers in advance.

With Qin Yue's Super-Sense ability, he could easily find the locations where several Ninggang Realm Yao Race members were stationed.

However, he dared not approach easily. His several experiences with the Yao Race told him that he could not approach the Yao Race main camp with just Shadow Movement and yinqi pill.

Yao King-level Yao Race strongholds would have many inspection checkpoints, and various Yao Race detection methods were endless. Qin Yue dared not guarantee that he could infiltrate using his stealth abilities.

He could only lurk outside the Yao Race stronghold's exit to gather intelligence, and incidentally see if there was a chance to find a lone Ninggang Realm Yao Race member to assassinate successfully.

Thus, Qin Yue set up camp at the entrance of the Yao Race stronghold, watching Small Yao come and go every day, using Super-Sense Mode to eavesdrop on all kinds of useful and useless information.

Perhaps the news of the Crane Demon and Tiger Demon's failure had spread, or these few Ninggang Realm Yao Race members were cautious enough, but Qin Yue never found a good opportunity for assassination.

Three days had passed, and Qin Yue still hadn't found a good opportunity. He even considered changing his plan, using his own abilities to search the mountain inch by inch, to see if he could fortunately find his two Senior Brothers.

Just as he was about to give up, a turning point finally appeared.

The Bear Demon, one of the three Ninggang Realm Great Yao, had something to do and needed to leave the Yao Race stronghold.

Qin Yue did not act rashly, because it was too coincidental.

Qin Yue had just grown impatient, and then that Bear Demon had something to do and needed to leave the stronghold?

Was there anything more important in this Small World than annihilating these Human Race Martial Artists who had descended?

Qin Yue followed the Bear Demon from a distance, not making a move, until the Bear Demon left Zao Yan Mountain. Qin Yue also watched from afar, not following.

Not until the Bear Demon completely disappeared from Qin Yue's sight did Qin Yue turn around and return to the Yao Race stronghold.

Only two Ninggang Realm Yao Race members remained in the stronghold.

Even if there was an ambush where the Bear Demon went, there surely wasn't one in this stronghold!

Qin Yue had not dared to enter the stronghold before, not only because he feared being detected by Yao Race members with superior perception abilities, but also because there were three Yao Race members in the stronghold.

Once Qin Yue was discovered, he feared he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Now with only two Yao Race members left, he could give it a try!

Even if Qin Yue was discovered after infiltrating, he felt confident that he could escape the pursuit of these two Ninggang Realm Great Yao.

Unfortunately, Qin Yue's plan did not go as he had envisioned from the start.

Qin Yue easily infiltrated the Yao Race stronghold, neither being discovered by perceptive Yao Race members nor encountering any uncontrollable accidents.

Looking at the easily passed gate, Qin Yue was somewhat silent. If all these Yao Race members were at this level, then what had he been waiting outside for three days for?

Once inside, it would be easy, because apart from the gate and the locations of the Ninggang Realm Great Yao, the guards elsewhere could not be that strict.

Qin Yue easily wandered around the Yao Race stronghold.

Qin Yue dared not open his Super-Sense perception too wide, because the Super-Sense state was, after all, a perception method based on vibration.

Enhancing the Super-Sense state was a perception method that actively emitted some ultrasonic waves and then received the reflected waves.

He was afraid that if his Super-Sense state was too strong, it would be discovered by Yao Race members with keen vibration perception, so he could only investigate little by little.

Fortunately, since this was only a temporary stronghold, the entire area of the stronghold was not large.

Qin Yue did not take long to complete his investigation of this stronghold.

The good news was that he wasn't discovered by the Yao Race; the bad news was that Qin Yue also didn't gather any useful intelligence.

Yes, not only had the Bear Demon left, but the other two Ninggang Realm Great Yao were also not in the stronghold.

Regarding this matter, Qin Yue had three conjectures.

One conjecture was that the other two Yao Race members simply didn't like to use the main entrance, so they missed Qin Yue, and Qin Yue didn't discover their departure.

The second conjecture was that, as Qin Yue had thought before, their letting the Bear Demon leave was a trap, and the other two Yao Race members were secretly following the Bear Demon.

The third conjecture was that they had already discovered the hiding place of Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Shi, and were avoiding Qin Yue to preemptively kill the injured Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Shi.

Regarding the first conjecture, although he didn't know the true forms of the other two Yao Race members, it was too much of a coincidence for both of them to be the kind of treacherous Yao Race members who liked to avoid the main entrance, so Qin Yue thought it was unlikely.

The third conjecture also seemed incorrect; if that were the case, they wouldn't need to use the Bear Demon as a decoy to leave Zao Yan Mountain.

If all three Yao Race members had secretly left the stronghold together, Qin Yue might not have discovered them anyway, since two Yao Race members had already done so.

Therefore, in Qin Yue's mind, the second conjecture had the highest probability.

This was also the reason why all the Yao Race members with strong perception had been transferred away.

They were worried that Qin Yue's stealth abilities were too powerful, so the Yao Race members with strong perception were all transferred to be arranged in the trap.

It's just that no one expected that Qin Yue not only didn't follow the Bear Demon out of the mountain but instead infiltrated the Yao Race stronghold.

Of course, these were all just Qin Yue's conjectures and might not be entirely correct.

But now Qin Yue had no other source of intelligence and could only act according to his conjectures.

Now, what Qin Yue needed to consider was how to make good use of this information gap.

His ability to so easily infiltrate the Yao Race stronghold this time was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What could this opportunity bring him?
