"Yes, my lord!" Shaking Mountain Dragon nodded, his voice deep, "It was a month ago, I was resting in the cave when suddenly I felt a shiver from my soul, I knew it was the scent of the Dragon Clan!"

Shaking Mountain Dragon continued, "Shortly afterward, Lion Roar came to find me, saying that our Beastman had just rescued a woman pursued by people in black. The woman was covered in blood, and parts of her body showed cyan scales!"

"At the time, I was very excited. I thought the injured woman must be a member of the Dragon Clan, so I asked Lion Roar to bring the woman over. Sure enough, the blood she bled was all Dragon Blood, I was very sure of that!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes, "So, that injured woman really was a Dragon Lady?"

"A genuine Dragon Lady!" Shaking Mountain Dragon nodded and said, "As a Sub-dragon, there's no way I'd mistake those feelings towards the Dragon Clan!"

Ling Feng nodded, he was clear about this too, "Oh, right, did you notice anything unusual?"

Shaking Mountain Dragon shook his head, "I only saw the Dragon Lady once at that time, and then later I heard she had been attacked!"

"Got it!" Ling Feng said, "Thank you, I understand now. Senior Lion Roar, let's go ask those who witnessed the Dragon Lady's attack."

Back in the main hall, Lion Mad had also gathered the survivors.

"At that time, we were coming from the Werewolf Tribe, heading back to our Lion Tribe, but halfway, we got attacked at Cloud Stone Beach, the leader was that red-haired guy. I got shot with two arrows, fainted on the ground, and escaped the ordeal."

"Young friend, what can you gather from this?" Lion Roar looked at Ling Feng and asked.

After listening to the account, Ling Feng asked, "How can you be sure that the red-haired person was the Xiong Family's Young Master? You shouldn't have met him, right?"

The surviving Lionmen member explained, "It was the Dragon Lady who recognized Xiong Tian, shouting, 'Xiong Tian, dare to chase into the Beastman Tribe, aren't you afraid to die?'"

Ling Feng's lips showed a hint of understanding, "So, you all truly confirmed it was Xiong Tian because of the Dragon Lady's words?"

"Yes!" the Lionmen member said.

Ling Feng nodded, "I roughly understand the whole matter now, you can leave!"

After that Lionmen member left, Lion Roar asked, "Young friend, you seem quite confident now?"

Ling Feng shook his head, "No, I just confirmed one thing, the Dragon Lady truly has issues. As far as I know, during the days she was attacked, Xiong Tian was at the Xiong Family's mine and never left. The Dragon Lady intentionally pointed out the attacker's identity to mislead your judgment, spurring you to attack the Bear Fortress!"

"How... how could this be!" Lion Roar was a bit disbelieving, "She is a Dragon Lady, why would she do such a thing?"

Ling Feng shook his head, "That I don't know, either this Dragon Lady has become a pawn for other factions or this Dragon Lady is fake, deceiving Shaking Mountain Dragon somehow!"

Lion Roar still found it hard to believe.

Ling Feng said gravely, "But now that we've exposed their conspiracy, we can counter with a plan. On one hand, we can maintain a facade of confrontation with the Xiong Family, while secretly investigating for clues!"

Ling Feng sneered, "Since they've spent so effort causing conflict between Beastman and the Xiong Family, if Beastman and Xiong Family just confront without fighting, the master behind it will surely be anxious. At that time, once they make any moves, we can follow the clues and seize them in one strike!"

Lion Roar's eyes lit up, "Exactly, the young friend is right. Now we need to get them to reveal themselves!"

Ling Feng added, "Moreover, we need to investigate the site of the incident. Cloud Stone Beach is not suitable for ambush but ideal for retreat. I need to see if there are any valuable pieces of information there myself."

Lion Roar nodded, "I'll have someone take you there, young friend!"

"Thank you, senior!" Ling Feng said slightly.

A few minutes later, Lion Roar had already sent someone to escort Ling Feng to the scene.

On the way, Xiong Yan asked, puzzled, "Master, why are we helping these Beastmen? Do you have some plan?"

Though Xiong Yan follows Ling Feng's orders, she's not a Puppet without her own thoughts. On the contrary, Ling Feng found Xiong Yan's mind agile and her opinions deep.

"What do you think my plans are?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.

Xiong Yan smiled slightly and said, "I think Master is planning to conquer the entire Beastman Tribe?"

"Why do you think so?" Ling Feng was a bit curious.

Xiong Yan brushed her hair and said, "Master and Bruce have a past grudge, yet Bruce has the favor of the Demon King. Furthermore, Bruce's influence and connections in the Imperial Capital are extraordinary, making it nearly impossible for Master to eliminate Bruce with his own power!"

"But before this, you had me gather information about other races nearby. I was guessing, is Master planning to take the opportunity to conquer the Beastman Tribe and other races? Only by uniting these forces can Master's power grow and possibly contend against Bruce."

Ling Feng was genuinely surprised, he looked at Xiong Yan, "Did you think all of this through yourself? Have you mentioned it to anyone else?"

Xiong Yan grinned like a blooming flower, "This concerns Master's secret, why would I tell others? Also..."

Saying this, a brilliant light flashed in Xiong Yan's eyes, "I deeply admire Master's strategic vision in unifying the Beastman!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "It seems you don't have the potential to become a lab technician, but your insight is very sharp! You're right, I have such thoughts. I want to establish a force in the Abyss Realm that can oppose the Demon King. Though the idea appears crazy and impractical now, it's something I must do!"

Xiong Yan clenched her fists and said excitedly, "I believe Master will definitely achieve it!"

"Whether it's achievable first depends on whether we can catch the mastermind scheming against the Beastmen!" Ling Feng looked into the distance, his gaze slightly profound, "I have a feeling this will be my first step in establishing a presence in the Abyss Realm, and... it's also my first move in the Abyss Realm."
