I am Master Maoshan

"How long have they been gone?" Prince Wei Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, and asked again.

"About an hour." Chen Manni replied calmly.

"Release the ghost bats." Prince Wei Bai said decisively without any hesitation.

"Your Highness?" Upon hearing this, a four-winged messenger showed a hesitant expression on his face. His eyes were full of worry. He seemed to want to say something, but was hesitant.

The ghost bat is a unique creature that lives in the mysterious Ghost Abyss. The Ghost Abyss is a gloomy and terrifying place full of unknown dangers. The ghost bat can survive and reproduce in it, so it naturally has extraordinary abilities. It is particularly good at tracking. Once it locks on a target, it is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it is difficult to get rid of it.

However, it is extremely difficult to tame this creature. Ordinary means are simply not enough to make them obey commands. If you want to drive the ghost bat to help you do things, you must pay a huge price - feed it with essence and blood.

Moreover, the ghost bat they brought this time was extremely picky and demanding. It was only interested in the blood of Eden messengers with six wings or more, and even the blood of four-winged messengers was disdained by it, which was really a headache.

"Let him out!" Prince Wei Bai's face turned cold, his voice became colder, and his eyes were fixed on the four-winged messenger, as if warning him not to hesitate any longer.

The four-winged messenger sighed helplessly, knowing that the prince's decision could not be changed. Then he slowly released a bat with strange symbols on its wings from a special container.

As soon as this ghost bat appeared, the air around it seemed to become a little gloomy, and it exuded a mysterious and evil aura.

As soon as the ghost bat saw the six-winged princes around it, its originally scarlet eyes widened instantly, flashing with greed, and it looked eager to try. Its body trembled slightly, as if it couldn't wait to suck the essence and blood of these powerful beings in front of it.

"I will feed you with your essence and blood. You can make sure you are full. Please help me find some people." Prince Wei Bai looked at the ghost bat in front of him with a sharp gaze and spoke word by word.

The ghost bat's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded repeatedly without hesitation.

In the past, when the Eden Messengers asked it for help, they were always stingy and only fed it a few drops of blood, and sometimes even wanted to fool it with the inferior blood of the Four-Winged Messengers.

But this time, Prince Wei Bai was so generous that he promised to feed it with the blood of Prince Liu Yi. This was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise. No matter what Prince Wei Bai asked it to do, it was willing to do its best to help.

In the eyes of the ghost bat, the blood of the Eden messenger is undoubtedly the most delicious food in the world, and the blood of the six-winged prince is the best among them, full of tempting aroma and powerful energy. At this moment, saliva has been secreted unconsciously in its mouth, looking forward to the upcoming feast.

"Which carriage did they take before?" Prince Wei Bai's voice sounded again, interrupting Guifu's reverie.

Chen Manni felt the powerful aura emanating from Prince Wei Bai, and her heart trembled. But she knew that hiding it at this moment was meaningless. So, she pointed to the luxurious carriage that Liu Jun and the others had taken before, and said, "That's the one."

Prince Wei Bai looked in the direction Chen Manni pointed, and saw the luxurious carriage parked quietly not far away. The body of the carriage was carved with exquisite patterns, and it was shining brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Go and smell it and see if you can find them." Prince Wei Bai gave orders to the ghost bat next to him.

Upon hearing this, the ghost bat immediately flapped its wings and flew high towards the luxurious carriage. Its nose kept sniffing the air, looking for the scent left by Liu Jun and the others.

After a while, the ghost bat flew back silently like a ghost, its red eyes flashing with greed, staring straight at the White Prince in front of it.

Prince Wei Bai's stern face did not show any fluctuations. He had long been accustomed to this guy's greedy eyes. He also understood what this guy meant, so he stretched out his pale and slender arm without hesitation.

Seeing this, the ghost bat instantly became excited. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit Prince Wei Bai's arm fiercely.

Then, golden blood gushed out like a fountain and was quickly sucked into the ghost bat's body greedily. The ghost bat's belly also swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon about to burst.

Prince Wei Bai clenched his teeth and endured the severe pain, but his eyes remained firm and indifferent.

After a while, the ghost bat finally opened its mouth contentedly. Its belly was already bulging and it looked extremely satisfied.

Prince Wei Bai's complexion became even paler due to excessive blood loss. He seemed to have been drained of all his vitality. His body swayed slightly, but he still managed to hold on and not fall down.

"After eating and drinking, it's time to work." Prince Wei Bai looked at the ghost bat coldly.

He was filled with disgust for the ghost bats. It was undoubtedly a great humiliation for him to use their noble blood to feed these dirty things. But in order to achieve his goal, he had to endure it all.

Those people were very cunning and it was not easy to catch them, but Prince Wei Bai firmly believed that with the help of the ghost bat, he would succeed.

The ghost bat let out a shrill cry, and the sound was like a sharp blade cutting through the night sky, making people feel cold. Then it flapped its wings and flew high, rushing straight to the north.

"Follow me!" Prince Wei Bai ordered decisively.

At the same time, he flashed and jumped onto the broad back of the flying beast. The flying beast then began to flap its wings, intending to chase the ghost bat. Seeing this, the other princes also prepared to set off. However, at this moment, a six-winged prince suddenly stopped. His eyes were fixed on Chen Manni, and a hideous smile appeared on his face, obviously he had other plans.

"You go first, I'll catch up later." There was a hint of playfulness in his words, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch up with the team.

Upon hearing this, Prince Wei Bai's eyes instantly turned cold and stern. He turned to look at the Six-Winged Prince and said word by word, "I said follow up! Don't waste time."

Being publicly humiliated by Prince Wei Bai, the Six-Winged Prince's face turned pale and green, and he seemed a little furious. His name was Gausbol, and he was a powerful prince among all the princes, so he was a little arrogant.

"Wei Bai, I said I will follow you!" Gausbol said gritting his teeth, but in the end he failed to explode.

At this time, Prince Olaidqi beside him also spoke. His voice was equally cold and emotionless: "Gauspol, don't forget our mission. If you delay His Majesty's business, you will be worse off than dead."

Prince Olaidqi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Gauspol's head, making him sober up instantly. He then took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then took a step and jumped onto the back of another flying beast.

"Okay, let's go!" Gauspol said in a low voice, and then the flying beast flapped its wings and flew high, catching up with the ghost bat in front.

The ghost bat was not moving very fast, and the frequency of its wings flapping seemed a bit strenuous. It was not known whether it was because it was too full or because it had to accurately track the subtle smell, but it was soon caught up by the flying beast that was galloping from behind.

The flying beast spread its broad wings and glided in the air, appearing to be at ease, in stark contrast to the difficulty of the ghost bat.

"At this speed, that person would have run away to who knows where." Prince Gauspol stood on the back of the flying beast, glanced sharply at the ghost bats below that were trying hard to track him, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

"If you don't agree, go down and track the scent of those people on behalf of Ghost Bat and see." Prince Wei Qing was standing aside and heard what Prince Gauspol said. He couldn't help but retort.

"Wei Qing, if you want to die, let's find a place to try." Upon hearing this, Prince Gausbol's face darkened instantly, and he stared at Prince Wei Qing fiercely, his voice low and threatening. He clenched his fists, as if ready to attack at any time.

"Enough!" Prince Wei Bai suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, instantly suppressing the atmosphere on the field.

He glanced at the two men fiercely and continued, "If we delay His Majesty's business, we will all die. Now is not the time for internal strife. We must unite and find those people as soon as possible."

Although Prince Gauspol was still a little unconvinced, after being scolded by Prince Weibai, he also knew that the most important thing at the moment was to complete His Majesty's task.

In fact, Prince Wei Bai also found that their pursuit speed was indeed a bit slow. He frowned, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and thought secretly in his heart.

There is really no better way to speed up the pursuit at the moment. He can only hope that those people will stop for some reason after running for a distance.

As night fell, the stars in the sky began to twinkle. The flying beasts flew through the night sky, leaving silver trails behind.

However, there was a small disagreement on the caravan side at this moment, and the atmosphere became subtle and tense.

Under the moonlight, the outline of the desert appeared hazy and mysterious. The caravan's campfire swayed in the night breeze, reflecting faces that were either confused or angry.

"Miss Chen, I don't understand why you would betray your benefactor?" A burly guard finally couldn't help it and stood up. His voice echoed in the silent night sky, carrying a bit of unwillingness and anger.

There was a flash of confusion and disappointment in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that the woman they had always protected would actually betray their benefactor.

Chen Manni sat there, her figure looking a little thin in the firelight. There was no obvious expression on her face. She was just painting seriously and listening quietly to the guards' questions.

"Shut up!" the captain of the guard suddenly shouted in a low and powerful voice, interrupting the guard's words.

He glanced sharply at the guards around him, as if to warn them, "Ms. Chen is our employer. We just need to obey her orders and don't ask any more questions."

However, the captain's words did not calm the guards' anger. The guard who had questioned earlier was even more indignant: "Captain, didn't you always tell us that the most important thing for a person is to be grateful? But what did we do? We betrayed our benefactor, and this is called gratitude?"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement. Although the guards around him did not say anything, their expressions showed similar feelings. Their eyes revealed disdain and disappointment for Chen Manni's behavior, as if at this moment, the beliefs and principles in their hearts were severely trampled on.

They have had fears and are afraid of death, but sometimes, they would rather die for their beliefs and principles.

The desert night wind continued to blow, bringing a bit of coolness and desolation. The bonfire lit by the guards swayed more violently in the night, as if it was also trembling because of this sudden disagreement. Everything around became unusually quiet, with only the heavy breathing of the guards and the occasional roar of beasts in the distance echoing in the night sky.
