"The Holy Lord, he just likes to play petty tricks."
As the master of the Shadow Legion, Tara immediately gathered his Shadow Legion upon landing and had them spread out rapidly, like a vast net, covering the entire island.
It could be said that except for a few places where Bai Qi had set up restrictions in advance, and the Shadow Legion could not enter, every rustle of grass and movement on the island was within Tara's sight.
Through the Shadow Ninjas scattered across the island, the Suicide Squad's every move was within Tara's view.
Each general of the Shadow Legion could only access the vision of the Shadow Legion under their command. Only Tara could access the vision of any Shadow Ninja. However, in this extraordinary time, as Tara's deputy, Ika, possessed a privilege that no other Shadow General had: he could share the vision of Shadow Ninjas with Tara.
This allowed Ika to obtain information more directly and offer advice to Tara, so he could also see what other Shadow Ninja forces saw.
"My Lord, should we go and assist those humans? They seem to be in trouble."
As a general of the Shadow Legion, Ika could naturally see that many soldiers in the camp were impersonated by Shadow Ninjas, and they were currently cooperating with Voller.
Tara's eyes flickered as he said, "No need. Although we are cooperating with Voller, we have no responsibility to guarantee the lives of those people. Let's finish our business first and then see the situation."
"Yes, Master."
Ika bowed slightly, then focused his gaze on the direction of the Xiao Yu Palace and said again, "Everyone, go! Kill the human who stole the Master's authority!" Su Dan Novel Network
With the Suicide Squad drawing fire in front, Tara and his party had a smooth journey, not encountering a single patrol, and easily arrived outside the palace Bai Qi had built for Xiao Yu.
Outside the palace, Samo waved his hand, and two Troll Clan ninjas under him appeared and walked towards the gate.
To please Xiao Yu, Bai Qi had deliberately made the gate very grand when building the palace. It was made of heavy marble, not only magnificent but also incredibly heavy. It was estimated that among the Shadow Legion present, only the Troll Clan had the strength to push open the door.
Although as Shadow Ninjas, they could directly bypass the gate and enter from the shadows, this time with Tara and all the generals present, drilling underground would be too undignified.
*Screech!*
Just as the Troll Ninjas were about to touch the stone gate, the gate seemed to come alive with electricity, and magical currents instantly surged through the trolls' bodies. In an instant, two giant Troll Ninjas turned into dust.
"Holy Lord, Holy Lord, do you think these little tricks can stop me? Aren't you underestimating me too much?"
Initially, Tara was somewhat worried that it was a trick set by the Holy Lord to deal with him.
After all, his plan was stolen, the Holy Lord was absent, and the journey had been so smooth; it made him uneasy.
But now it was fine. The defensive magic before him had made Tara let go of his last bit of caution.
As the master of the Shadow Legion, Tara was also a skilled dark mage, proficient in various dark magic, and also dabbled in Qi magic and other niche magic.
It was precisely because of this that Tara could see at first glance that the stone gate was not an ordinary low-level defensive magic, but a high-level, complexly arranged, and extremely powerful advanced defensive magic.
Its effect was to release powerful magical currents to block intruders.
Fortunately, he came today.
If he hadn't come in person today, his generals, who had not yet fully revived, would not have been able to break through this stone gate even if they all charged at it.
"This stone gate is so powerful? Let me try!"
Seeing his subordinates instantly vanish, Samo, a burly man, felt his pride a bit bruised. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to personally go into action.
"Samo, no recklessness."
Tara saw Samo about to break the door with brute force and immediately stopped him with his telekinesis.
Samo was indeed reckless, but he still obeyed Tara's words. If Tara didn't let him go, he naturally had his reasons and wouldn't go.
"You all move back a bit."
Tara was also caught off guard by this defensive magic. He naturally did not have the materials needed to break the magic on him. It was too late to go back and get them, so he had to break it with brute force.
Tara frowned, and streams of powerful telekinetic force struck the stone gate like ripples.
As the telekinetic force hit the stone gate, the defensive magic automatically resisted.
However, this defensive magic was powerful, but its range was very limited. As long as one did not try to physically grapple with the stone gate like Samo, striking from a distance would not be affected by the magical currents. Even though the attacks were weakened by the generated magical currents, under Tara's continuous bombardment, the stone gate and the defensive magic soon could not hold on.
*Boom!*
With the last wave of telekinetic force hitting the gate, the stone gate could no longer withstand it, cracking inch by inch and shattering into pieces that fell to the ground.
"Master, I will clear the path for you."
Ika was indeed Tara's most loyal subordinate. As a deputy, his strength might not compare to other generals, but Ika's greatest advantage was his quick wit and ability to read people. He knew when to say what and when to do what.
Although Ika was not very proficient in dark magic, he knew that any defensive magic that Tara personally handled must be very tricky. And the trickier it was to set up, the more troublesome it would be. The possibility of other defensive magic behind it would be smaller, and even if there was, it would definitely not be too strong.
This was the perfect opportunity to show his loyalty and bravery.
With Tara's permission, Ika summoned two ninjas under him and entered the door.
Indeed, there were other defensive magic spells in the hall after entering, but they were all insignificant tricks, and their arrangement was very clumsy, not like something the Holy Lord would do. It looked more like a novice beginner.
Ika didn't care about these. After entering, he summoned more warrior ninjas and destroyed all the defensive magic in the hall as quickly as possible. Then he had his warrior ninjas line up on both sides to respectfully welcome Tara.
Although Tara was now only a head, and usually didn't care much about such superficial matters, not caring did not mean he disliked it. Who would want to appear dishevelled when they could make a grand entrance?
After entering, Tara scanned his surroundings and sensed for a moment before saying, "That human is here. Find her and bring her before me."
"Yes, Master" x5
The five Shadow Generals took their orders and scattered with their respective troops, searching for Xiao Yu in the vast palace.
At first, Tara didn't notice, but as he watched his five generals enter five different rooms, his previously dismissed doubts resurfaced.
