The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 60 Target Discovery

In his soul form, he can freely traverse the material world, fly high in the sky or crawl underground by willpower. What the soldiers see as complex and dangerous roads are nothing to him, and he can walk on them as if they were flat ground.

Kahn's first real use of spirit control techniques proved quite effective.

From Azura's perspective, Kahn remained in a meditative posture without any change, but in reality, his soul had flown above the military camp, taking in the entire layout of the camp.

Having located the area marked out by Azura, Kahn flew toward the target region. He needed to find Elo's old followers before the Fire Nation army could proceed with his next plan.

This was not difficult for him. Before the sun had completely set, Kahn flew low over the sky, traversing jungles and valleys, searching for targets below like a falcon.

The opposing force numbered nearly a hundred men. They were hidden in the complex terrain and were much more agile than the Fire Nation's army, making them extremely difficult to search.

However, from the air, it is a very conspicuous target.

The search went more smoothly than expected; he spotted the target the very moment night fell.

The enemy group was hiding in a narrow valley. From the ground, their view was completely blocked by the rocks, making them difficult to spot. However, from the sky, they were completely visible.

Even so, the other party was very cautious and did not light any open flames, nor did they use any fire control techniques. If they waited until night fell completely, even he would probably have a hard time finding them.

Seeing that the other party did not intend to change their location for the time being, Kahn noted down their location and turned back.

Inside his tent, Azura lay on her side beside him, idly flipping through a book. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be her own adapted version of "Journey to the West".

His body remained in a meditative posture, which made him feel very gratified.

His soul returned to his body, and he slowly opened his eyes. He stood up, stretched his joints slightly, and smiled at Azura:

"Not bad, at least they didn't play any pranks on my body when I wasn't around."

"Oh, so it's okay to play pranks?"

Azura suddenly realized what was going on and began to scrutinize him, as if she were planning something.

Kahn wanted to slap himself for saying such nonsense!

"Could you please pretend you didn't hear what you just said?"

"What did you just say?"

Azura blinked, gave a sweet smile, and responded in a very cooperative manner.

But to Kahn, it was nothing short of the devil's smile. Anyone with a brain would know that Azura would never let such a good opportunity to play a prank on him slip by.

However, he had no other choice, since he still had to rely on Azura to protect his body.

Oh, what a tragedy!

He sighed deeply and had no choice but to skip the topic and get down to business.

"I found them."

Upon hearing this, Azura propped herself up in bed and said:

"So fast? Tsk, it seems this so-called Spirit Control Technique does have some use."

Because he needed Azura to guard his body, he had briefly introduced the art of spirit control to her beforehand. However, after learning that only awakened individuals could learn the art, she lost interest and even looked down on it.

Kahn called Azura's behavior "sour grapes," though she herself doesn't admit it.

"So, the next step is to go find them tonight, right?"

Azura said eagerly.

"Hmm, I just took a look at the layout of the entire camp, and then I'll check the patrol routes of the night watch. Sneaking out shouldn't be too difficult. However,"

As he spoke, Kahn gave her a strange look and said:

"You don't still want to come out with me, do you? The guards outside your tent won't allow it."

Azura enjoys the treatment of a commander-level officer; even when she sleeps, there are royal guards watching outside her tent. How could she possibly slip out?

However, Azura didn't seem to care and said with a smile:

"It's alright, I believe Woolf will help me just as she did at the palace."

"Otherwise, why would I specifically request him to come?"

Woolf was the name of the captain of the Imperial Guard who accompanied the group.

Hearing Azura say this, Kahn couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the captain. Being used by Azura to this extent meant that, in a sense, he was also one of Azura's important subordinates.

If thinking that way would make Woolf feel any better.

However, upon closer reflection, it would be even better if Azura could come along, so that everyone could discuss things together and avoid any misunderstandings or mishaps on one side.

Sure enough, tonight the guards protecting Azura's camp were replaced by Woolf alone. When Kahn saw him letting Azura leave with a numb attitude, he silently mourned for him for three seconds.

Kahn couldn't help but say:

"I say, Azura, if that person's identity and abilities are not in question, why don't you officially bring him under your command?"

Although Azura can command Woolf at will regardless of whether she subdues him or not, at least his emotions will be more stable after she subdues him.

His main concern was that Woolf would break down under immense pressure, at best committing suicide, and at worst revealing herself to Aozai before taking her own life, which would be a terrible loss.

Azura agreed and, after thinking about it carefully, realized it was indeed a good idea.

However, she usually prefers to use various schemes to suppress others and force them to submit, and rarely considers this aspect, even in her interactions with Mei, Terry, and others.

Kahn, on the other hand, did the opposite.

In this respect, although neither Kahn nor Azura realized it, the two could be said to be perfectly complementary and mutually reinforcing.

After sneaking out of the camp, the two headed towards their destination. Their fire control magic allowed them to travel at night without fear of darkness. Under Kahn's instructions, they quickly arrived at the location where Elo's former followers were hiding.

It was already late at night, and most of them had gone to rest, leaving only a few soldiers on duty who were also drowsy.

Neither Kahn nor Azura intended to hide; they openly revealed themselves, holding up fireballs for illumination, and simultaneously proclaimed:

"The White Lotus Sect has come to our aid, but where is Li Dun, a member of the White Lotus Sect?!"

Lytton was the leader of this group and also a member of the White Lotus sect, which was an important piece of information he obtained after making contact with the White Lotus sect.

Although he and Airo had a close relationship, he didn't have any evidence to quickly prove his identity and gain the other party's trust, so raising the banner of the White Lotus Sect was a good choice.

The actions of Kahn and Azura startled the opposing group from their sleep, causing them to panic for a moment. However, after Kahn repeated his words, the opposing group gradually calmed down and used fire magic to illuminate the area, making it much brighter.

At this moment, a somewhat disheveled burly man stepped out from the line and responded:

"I am Li Dun. May I ask if you belong to the White Lotus Sect?"

"Tate?!"

The bright flames illuminated Kahn's face, startling Lytton into speaking, who then uttered a name that was both strange and familiar to Kahn—

Tate, that's the name of the father of this body of Kahn.
