Xiong Rudong was severely injured in his fight against Chu Chunxiao. Just as Chu Chunxiao was about to deliver the finishing blow, a mysterious figure intervened. The newcomer effortlessly disarmed Chu Chunxiao and killed him in mere moments, shocking everyone present and causing Xiong Rudong's subordinates to panic.

Boom!!

With an explosive bang, Fang Yu had already plunged into the thick of the crowd. This was akin to a fierce tiger descending upon a flock of defenseless sheep! Immediately, the group erupted into utter chaos. "Aaah!! He's slaughtering his way over!!" "Help! Someone help!!" "Run, run, run! Even Lord Chu Chunxiao is no match for him, so how could we possibly stand against this man!!" The masses panicked, scattering in all directions, desperately trying to escape. However, they failed to notice that Fang Yu's hand, from beginning to end, was firmly clamped around the throat of an unfamiliar woman. He hoisted her high into the air. Beneath her terrified gaze, Fang Yu smirked and inquired, "What exactly did you just do?" Her pupils constricted in shock. She had clearly not anticipated Fang Yu detecting her subtle maneuver. After a fleeting moment of hesitation, she had already decided her course of action... But someone acted faster than she could! Buzz!! A flash of blinding golden light streaked through the air. The woman's head was cleanly severed, flying away from her body. A brief, eerie stillness followed. Bang!! The headless corpse disintegrated into a cloud of Blood Mist. A formless Shadow re-emerged from the remains, rapidly expanding and swelling to an immense size. Segmented, elongated legs, taller than a person, sprouted like steel bars, anchoring themselves into the ground – resembling some sort of insectoid demon. "Aaah!" "A demon!?" "A formidable expert leading the charge, and a monstrous demon pursuing from behind – will we even be allowed to live!?" "Run, quickly, everyone run!" The panicked populace attempted to scatter in every direction, but how could Xiong Rudong permit such an escape? "Hear my command! Intercept them, do not let a single soul slip away!" Xiong Rudong bellowed, issuing his orders. The members of the Forest Snake Gang, who had been on the verge of suffocation, suddenly felt a surge of revitalization upon hearing their Hall Master's words. The tide of the battle had decisively turned. Now, it was their turn to strike down their already defeated foes! The contingent led by Chu Chunxiao had never been large in number to begin with. While their overall strength indeed surpassed that of the Forest Snake Gang's elite members, with Xiong Rudong now entering the fray, the disparity in power was no longer comparable. As for that monstrous demon... "Audacious demon! How dare you intrude upon the Forest Snake Gang's territory! No one is to interfere; I shall personally confront this demon!" With thirty thousand Blood Demons offered to him, how could Fang Yu possibly let them escape! But while the situation here was heating to a boiling point. Fang Yu remained unaware that Fa Xiao, who had been secretly observing from Xue Yunting, along with Situ Yue, had already received critical intelligence. "Chairman Fa, it has been confirmed. That mysterious Guest Elder has entered the conflict and is currently engaged at the Hall of the North." Situ Yue reported in a hushed tone. Fa Xiao's lips curved into a smug smile. "Isn't that the territory overseen by Princess Consort Yang? That fellow truly chose a difficult opponent. My Princess Consort Yang is the most formidable among the various team leaders. Not only can she effectively stall this individual, but she might even be capable of fighting him without yielding any ground!" Fa Xiao harbored immense confidence in Chu Chunxiao's abilities. Furthermore, even if victory was unattainable, as long as Chu Chunxiao could keep the Guest Elder occupied for a period, he would be able to complete his own operation on this side. "Let us proceed; it is time to apprehend that Guest Elder's lady and bring her here as a hostage." As the ancient art of war teaches, striking at the enemy's heart is the supreme strategy! That mysterious Guest Elder's strength remained unknown, yet he possessed a clear vulnerability. As long as they held that young lady captive, would that esteemed Minister dare to disobey? Although Fa Xiao was overflowing with confidence for this endeavor, he never underestimated his opponents when it came to strategic planning. He departed from Xue Yunting, accompanied by Situ Yue, and made their way towards the courtyard where the Guest Elder was residing. Fa Xiao felt that victory was already within his grasp. The Puppets posed no significant threat, the Four Great Hall Masters had already been neutralized, leaving only this Guest Elder whose ultimate fate was still undecided. Now, once the Guest Elder issue was resolved, the Forest Snake Gang would undoubtedly fall completely under his dominion! With no remaining strength to resist! Striding into the courtyard, the small yard was indeed left unguarded. Fa Xiao strolled casually towards the main entrance of the building and was about to raise his hand to knock when his movement abruptly ceased! His gaze, along with Situ Yue's, snapped sharply to the right almost simultaneously! "Amitabha." They beheld a peculiar Monk, hands clasped in prayer, observing them with an expression of profound peace. He stood neither too close nor too far, yet emanated an unsettling and terrifying pressure! Gulp! Fa Xiao noticed Situ Yue's hand trembling uncontrollably, shaking with palpable fear! "Is he exceedingly powerful? This Monk?" Fa Xiao subtly grasped Situ Yue's hand, his expression dark, and inquired in a low voice. Just as he finished speaking, Situ Yue suddenly wrenched her hand free and turned to flee!

That maneuver completely bricked Fa Xiao’s brain on the spot; it was like his mind blue-screened, leaving him stunned where he stood.

What... the hell?

While Fa Xiao was still totally baffled, the Monk’s voice was already spreading out like Buddhist scripture.

"Since the female benefactor has come, why bother leaving?"

The voice was both real and illusory, both solid and ethereal, drifting unpredictably!

Fa Xiao seemed to sense something and snapped his head around.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

Two figures, fast as lightning, had already completed a rapid flurry of exchanges, even blowing out half of the Firewood Room’s wall with a boom!

What a fast movement technique!

What terrifying Power!

But... still within an acceptable range!

This Monk isn’t that strong!

"Situ Yue, I’ll help you!!"

With a bellow, Fa Xiao charged toward the battlefield—only for the next second...

Bang!!!

Blood Mist exploded.

...

[Segmented Steel Spider: 0/32641.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the Player for killing [Segmented Steel Spider], gaining 816 Experience Points.]

[System Prompt: Experience Points have exceeded 100, total converted into 8 attribute points.]

At the cost of only a little HP, Fang Yu easily cleaved this demon apart.

And this was with Fang Yu still relatively relaxed, choosing to brute-force his way through the dense steel web, tanking the damage head-on; otherwise he could have done it with zero damage, easy.

"Mr. Diao!"

At the same time Fang Yu successfully slew the demon, Xiong Rudong had already brought his side under control, binding this group of people up one after another.

Looking at these people’s HP bars—one thousand, two thousand—Fang Yu lightly licked his lips.

As Fang Yu hesitated over whether to turn these people into HP...

Bang!!

Far behind him, in the distance, a pillar of Blood Mist erupted into the sky.

Just from the aura alone, it was clear the demon in that Blood Mist was no weakling.

Fang Yu had only glanced over casually, but in the next instant, he realized at once.

"Wait! That direction—that’s where my courtyard is!"

The thing Fang Yu had been guarding against all along had finally happened!

Someone had seized the moment while he was away to launch a surprise attack on Ding Hui!

His face darkened!

Bang!!

With a single step, Fang Yu was already sprinting toward the Blood Mist!

"Mr. Diao?!"

Xiong Rudong was dumbfounded on the spot.

He was badly wounded right now and had been counting on Fang Yu to sit in command here and oversee the situation.

But now...

Seeing the trusting gazes of the people around him, Xiong Rudong suppressed his injuries and said in a deep voice,

"Those who still have strength, follow me to support Master Tian! Something went wrong on our side and he still hasn’t come—he must have been ambushed too!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison; those with more serious injuries stayed behind to deal with these prisoners who had already surrendered.

At the same time, the flames rising within the Forest Snake Gang grew fiercer and fiercer, and the battle seemed to be getting more and more intense!

"Master Tian, don’t you die on me! Hold on, we’re coming!" Xiong Rudong forced himself onward despite his wounds, leading the charge, cutting down enemies as they met them on the road, fighting their way through with great momentum!

...

"White Lotus Palm??!"

Staggering back and finally managing to steady himself, Tian Xinghan stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The White Lotus Palm was a profound Palm Technique only Inner Sect Disciples of the White Lotus Sect were qualified to learn—how could this woman use it?!

And the White Lotus Sect was supposed to be a righteous orthodox sect—how could they be mixed up with Fa Xiao!

"White Lotus Palm?"

Shen Heilian playfully flexed her pitch-black palm and said with a smile,

"Take a closer taste—do you really think this is White Lotus Palm?"

At her words, Tian Xinghan lowered his head to look at the blackened palm print on his chest, and his heart instantly sank.

This wasn’t White Lotus Palm; it was some even more sinister Palm Technique laced with poison, just similar in form to the White Lotus Palm of the White Lotus Sect!

"Who the hell are you!"

Clutching the wound on his chest, Tian Xinghan felt his heart grow heavy as the poison began spreading through his body; as time went on, his condition would only worsen.

Shen Heilian stroked her cheek with the back of her hand, her entire being radiating danger.

"My name is Shen Heilian—someone destined to wipe out every last member of the White Lotus Sect!"
