"Hell! Will I be controlled after returning to the base?" Lin Yi cursed under his breath and disappeared from his spot. From this, he could deduce that this type of attack wasn't immediate, but delayed for a period of time. It would be difficult to find the culprit.
Lin Yi didn't know how long the delay was. Three minutes? Five minutes? Or ten minutes, or even half an hour, or a day or two?
If they couldn't determine the time, how could they find the mastermind?
Lin Yi's speed was already at its maximum, but when he arrived, the outcome of the battle was already decided. After all, there was a big difference in strength between the two, or else the other eight wouldn't have been killed.
The guy was covered in the blood of his comrades after killing them all, and he looked like a demon from hell. He roared with a hideous face, and started a new round of attacks the moment Lin Yi appeared.
A stream of blade energy appeared in front of Lin Yi, the direction of the attack was unpredictable. It felt like it was aimed at his chest, but it could be at his throat in the next moment. This guy was really good. Even in a state of madness, his control of martial arts skills was still perfect.
Lin Yi's shadow let the blade Qi pass through his body, but his real body appeared behind the guy like a ghost and slapped at the back of the guy's head. The guy's reaction was so fast that he did a 90-degree turn and reversed the blade's momentum, cutting into Lin Yi's body like a waterfall.
It was a pity that it was still just a shadow-the essence of the three appearances of Cloud Dragon was that it could switch between its real body and shadow at any time, so no matter how fast this guy reacted, it couldn't keep up with Lin Yi's attack speed.
When the attack landed on his back again, he had no way to deal with it. He could only collapse to the ground and fall unconscious.
"Poor fellow, when you wake up and find out that you've killed all your companions, I wonder if you'll feel that you're better off dead!" Lin Yi sighed softly, looking at the guy on the ground with pity. Perhaps it would be better for him to kill him now?
The nearby North Town guards quickly arrived and took control of this murderer and survivor, sending him to li Zeyu according to Lin Yi's orders. As for what would happen after he woke up, Lin Yi couldn't care less.
"Master Lin, this is a message from the young Island master!" One of the northern Battlefront guards quickly came over and gave Lin Yi a sealed scroll.
"Many thanks!" Lin Yi nodded and took it. He quickly opened it, but there were no words on it. Instead, there was an image of li Zeyu talking to him. He didn't know what technology it was, but it was similar to a 3D video in the secular world.
"Brother Lin, after the interrogation, the first batch of mountain split sect disciples did not lie. It was another fellow who suddenly launched the attack. Because the old man sealed their cultivation, the fellow who launched the attack regained his consciousness. According to him, he found his lifelong enemy while he was walking. Then, he could not suppress the killing intent in his heart and immediately attacked."
"In fact, his opponent was a stranger that he had never met before. He had nothing to do with any lifelong enemy. It was all his own illusion! And this is not a special case. In the second batch of people you sent over, the leader of the surprise attack was in the same situation, almost no difference. The people behind him haven't had time to interrogate him, but we can be sure that this is the reason!"
"According to my speculation, they should have been poisoned by an extremely powerful hallucinogenic agent, which is why they have such symptoms. The problem is that they themselves don't know when they fell into this trap. Fortunately, this hallucinogenic agent is not contagious, otherwise, the entire northernmost Island would have fallen completely. Now I'm only worried that the mastermind still has a large amount of hallucinogenic agents, and then there will be a large-scale outbreak of chaos on the northernmost Island. So, brother Lin, please help me pay more attention to this situation."
"In addition, I've sent an additional soldier from the city guards institution to patrol the commercial area. We must ensure that we have enough manpower to control the situation. I'll leave their command to you, brother Lin. At this time, the northernmost Island must not have any panic-stricken turmoil. If there is a trend, please suppress it. I'll bear all the consequences!"
Li Zeyu, who was only the size of a palm, had a serious expression on his face. He must have been under a lot of pressure to say such words.
Normally, li Zeyu didn't even have the intention to kill, but now he even gave Lin Yi the authority to let go and suppress them. It could be seen how serious the situation on the northernmost Island was in his heart.
In the end, li Zeyu didn't say what he went to do, but Lin Yi could make a rough guess. The mastermind behind the scenes created this kind of panic and chaos on the northernmost Island. He definitely wasn't the main target, unless he had a large amount of hallucinogenic potions in his hands, which could cause people to fall into hallucinations in a large area. Unfortunately, Lin Yi guessed that the possibility of this happening was very low, otherwise it wouldn't have only happened five times until now.
Li Zeyu also had this suspicion, so he went to arrange for the defense of some more important places. However, it seemed that there were only seven guard stations on the northernmost Island. The guard station in the North had been imprisoned and isolated because of the spirit beasts and the passage incident, and the soldiers sent to guard it were also from one guard station. There was already one guard station in the commercial area that guarded in shifts, and now two more guard stations had been transferred over. This meant that the defense of other places was equivalent to only the military strength of two guard stations left. This was simply too dangerous!
"Luring the Tiger away from the mountain, creating a diversion?" Lin Yi mumbled to himself. He shuddered and immediately ordered the northern vanguards,"Immediately get the two guard stations to return to their original defensive positions. We don't need so many people here!"
"Yes, Master Lin!" The North Garrison guard bowed and cupped his fists. However, they didn't just transfer two of the guard stations. To be exact, they only transferred two-thirds of the guard stations. Each of them left one-third of their manpower to guard their original positions, so there shouldn't be any problems!"
"Immediately send the order! All the people who were transferred over, retreat! Don't make me repeat myself!" Lin Yi didn't have the time to explain. He raised his voice and rushed out of the courtyard.
The North guard didn't dare to say anything more. He was just trying to explain, not disobey. Not to mention li Zeyu's order, just the prestige that Lin Yi had built up in a short time was enough for him to obey.
"Where is their real target? If it were me, which one would I choose?" Lin Yi mumbled as he flew across the northern island, scanning the area with his spirit sense, afraid of missing any suspicious clues.
