Chapter 245  : A Scene of Resentment

Once Fox Cave was activated, Immortal Fox Cave, which was not far away from Fox Cave, would usually become deserted. Very few players could be seen there. However, it was a little strange on that day. Ten minutes after Fox Cave was made available to the public, a group of people arrived there. They came hurriedly, and they were dressed in uniforms. They stopped for a moment before they headed to Fox Cave.

As the players who stayed in Immortal Fox Village looked over with puzzled expressions at the group of people, the spirit of gossip quickly began burning madly in their hearts.

“Why are the people from Fallen Feathers Sect here?”

The onlookers were all veterans who had trained in Fox Cave many times. It was only par for the course that they knew about Fallen Feathers Sect, who had once prospered in Fox Cave. When the onlookers saw the familiar faces that were once common in Fox Cave, they quickly noticed that there was something unusual happening that day.

Ever since Fallen Feathers Sect had pulled in Perpetual Joy Sect to attack Chivalry Sect but returned in failure, the two sects who had their abilities compromised never appeared in the area again. They seemed to have given up on the place to avoid Chivalry Sect’s vengeance.

But on the day Chivalry Sect arrived with such great strength, Fallen Feathers Sect had sneakily appeared near Fox Cave once more. What did that mean?

Was Fallen Feathers Sect restless and eager to make trouble? Prepared to slaughter its way through to reclaim the throne?!

*****

Situ Luoyu’s expression was stern. When he brought a big group of people into the forest of Fox Cave, there was scarcely any strong people left. However, there were still quite a lot of players who stayed outside.

They felt that the resources in Fox Cave would be all gone, since they saw that the three great sects had decided to clear the area with a great force. Hence, they did not intend to enter Fox Cave to waste their time. But they wanted to see to whom Yao Hua’s divine vessels would belong to in the end, which was why they were in such great conflict. They lingered around the forest and discussed the future among themselves instead of leaving.

When they saw the large group of people from Fallen Feathers Sect, they instantly burst into a commotion.

“Situ Luoyu!”

“Why is he here? Could it be that he wants to use this chance to engage in a contest of strength with Chivalry Sect?”

“Now? Is he even up to standard?”

Situ Luoyu moved under the gazes of the people that were filled with glee, born from preparing to watch him suffer, derision, scorn, and puzzlement. His expression did not change, and he did not stop moving. He hastily entered the forest to arrive at the entrance of Fox Cave.

“Enter!”

magic Once he gave his order, his people rushed into Fox Cave without bothering to activate their qi realm and body fortification techniques.

Situ Luoyu was racing against time. Ever since the people from Class One Hall had sent him a messenger pigeon telling him that they had passed the hall in the middle of the first level, he knew that it was time.

Chivalry Sect’s group was in the lead, and they should soon arrive at the entrance of the second level. If Fallen Feathers Sect went in right then and were fast, they should be able to catch up to the three great sects before they killed Dead She-wolf.

In just a while, all the people from Fallen Feathers Sect entered Fox Cave...

Their haste and the gloomy and somber atmosphere surrounding the group quickly made the spirits gossip of the people outside Fox Cave burn even hotter. They started making all sorts of assumptions while feeling puzzled.

‘Chivalry Sect is in danger...’

Quite a number of people managed to figure out the key points of the situation while thinking about it quietly by themselves.

After the raid, the resources in Fox Cave would probably still be redistributed, but the power to do it would be taken from Chivalry Sect’s hands...

At that moment, cries of surprise suddenly rang out from beyond the forest!

The sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and they were crisp and powerful. The noise quickly approached.

The people in the forest turned their heads to the side and saw three black horses that were incredibly tall, handsome, and exuded intangible charm and charisma from their whole bodies. At that moment, those onlookers quickly forgot about the fact that Fallen Feathers Sect had just entered Fox Cave. Their attention was fully attracted by the three incredibly cool black horses that charged into the forest.

“Hoof Shadows!”

“Damn it! It’s three Hoof Shadows! What the heck?!”

Someone had finally recognized that the three handsome horses seemed to be the incredibly valuable supreme-grade horse, Hoof Shadow, which they had occasionally seen when they trained. Cries of surprise instantly rang out through the forest.

Hoof Shadows cost more than one million and five hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs in the market, and three of them had actually appeared in one go. The players who knew just how difficult it was to capture Hoof Shadows were deeply astonished by it! They even forgot to pay attention to the appearances of the trio on the horses.

The Hoof Shadows were terrifyingly fast. When the onlookers finally reacted to the situation, the horses had already passed by them like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the entrance of Fox Cave.

Those people had also come for Fox Cave?!

Countless players followed the Hoof Shadows and entered the forest. When they saw three people get down from the horses with resolute movements, they were disappointed that the horses were taken, but they also finally had a chance to see the trio’s faces.

When they saw them...

“It’s him!”

Even though the trio immediately entered Fox Cave once they got down from their horses, quite a number of people still saw their faces, and they were so shocked that they stood flabbergasted.

Before them was a situation in which all parties involved harbored resentment toward each other!

Some people sucked in deep breaths and looked at each other at a loss.

‘What’s going on today? Why are so many things that only happen through sheer coincidence happening all on the same day?’

It was already shocking enough that all three great sects had gathered together, but Situ Luoyu had also sneakily brought a large group of Fallen Feathers Sect members. This could still be accepted... but then why did the man on the horse come to join the party as well?

His timing was impeccable.

When so many people who held grudges against each other gathered in one place, even idiots would not believe that it was a coincidence! Even morons would not believe that the Fox Cave raid would end in peace!

Should they go in?

Many people grew restless. With burning gazes, they stared at Fox Cave’s entrance, but they could not come to a decision.

*****

The first level of Fox Cave was empty. None of the strange and terrifying cackles from the fox monsters could be heard. Aside from the slightly messy and disorderly corpse-filled ground, everything inside was incredibly calm and peaceful.

“Hmph, they sure left quick.”

Little North snorted while Happy quickly gave them their orders.

“Enough with the talking. After them!”

If they wanted to get rid of the tumor known as Fallen Feathers Sect, they had to take action while they were isolated and had no backup. Once they met up with Class One Hall, even if Happy and his party joined Chivalry Sect, they would not have an easy time.

With one tap against the ground, the trio formed a triangle and shot into the tunnel to the left at the speed of lightning. They charged forward like phantoms.

The torches on the sides were nearly extinguished by the powerful gust they created. Once the roaring of the wind went away, the fire flickered in terror before burning brightly once more to illuminate the tunnel filled with the fox monsters’ carcasses.

In just a while, vague figures materialized in the distance before the trio!

Happy cast a glance at the people’s familiar clothes, and his stern expression was replaced by a smile as if he had been released from a great burden.

‘We caught up!’

*****

Situ Luoyu walked at the front of his group. He had been slightly uneasy a few minutes ago, because his subordinates who had been in charge of keeping an eye on Happy in White Tiger Forest had just sent him a messenger pigeon saying that Happy left White Tiger Forest with two people, and the scouts had no idea where they went. The three of them rode on Hoof Shadows, and the scouts soon lost sight of them, so they just stopped and wrote a letter.

Also, even though it had been less than ten minutes since they lost track of Happy’s party, they could not figure out his whereabouts or his destination.

Even though the news of Situ Luoyu bringing his group into Fox Cave was strictly controlled and kept within the sect, and they had moved quickly, Situ Luoyu felt very uneasy. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

‘Three Hoof Shadows... They left White Tiger Forest at the same time right now, so something is definitely up! What is he thinking of doing?’

While Situ Luoyu was filled with unease, he heard vague screams of pain belonging to dying people from the back of his group. They were mixed in with surprised and enraged shouts that said one word—Happy!

Thump!

Situ Luoyu’s heart let out a loud thump, and he turned around swiftly. His face turned red with rage, and he clenched his fists tightly.

‘Damn it! Trouble’s here!’
