Chapter 246: The Two Females on the Phoenix List

Adjusting their vision, Situ Luoyu and his group quickly spotted three familiar faces less than thirty meters behind them—Kai Xin, Xiao Bei, and Lei Zhan. Like tigers descending upon a sheep pen, they rushed forward. In an instant, the corridor was littered with the corpses of over a dozen people, accompanied by continuous screams.
“Damnards!”
Situ Luoyu’s face turned ashen as he punched the wall beside him. “Why have they to appear at this moment…?” His voice was filled with resentment and anger.
“Damn it! This is too much!”
“I’ll go fight them!!”
A dark-faced man who seemed to be a high-ranking member of the Luoyu Sect, seeing his comrades being cut down one after another and unable to stop the three attackers, gritted his teeth in fury and volunteered to fight.
Though angry, Situ Luoyu remained rational. “In this corridor, you’re no match for him. Moreover, the other two aren’t easy opponents either. More people won’t help. Tell the ones ahead to leave some to defend while the rest retreat at full speed to the second floor!” His words made sense—he had watched the footage of the REP’s destruction in the Fox Cave many times. Though reluctant to admit it, Kai Xin was indeed beyond their resistance. Had it not been for their overwhelming numbers and the leadership of Ji Feng from the Changle Sect, total annihilation would have been inevitable…
Now, in the corridor, Kai Xin faced pressure from only one side, with no hindrance as he advanced!
“This…”
Some people were filled with anger and frustration.
“What’s the point of staying? Let’s go! If we delay any longer, we’ll become the second Wudu Sect!” Shouting from behind, Situ Luoyu’s face was so dark it seemed to drip with anger. He didn’t want to end up like Ao Cangsheng—forced to quit the martial world in humiliation and forever follow others.
“Go!” “Let’s go!!!”
With the order given, the group finally gritted their teeth and abandoned their comrades behind. Amidst frequent shouts, they rushed away at full speed without looking back.
Kai Xin and the others soon noticed this.
“Boss! That Situ kid is trying to escape!” Xiao Bei exclaimed in surprise.
“He can’t get away!”
Kai Xin replied without turning around, “Brother Lei, Xiao Bei, leave this place to you. I’ll go after Situ!” With that, his figure vanished like a ghost, leaving behind a torn afterimage. He climbed up the left wall and pursued the group ahead swiftly and mysteriously.
“Go ahead without worry.”
“Ah! Brother Lei, split it between us!”
Their voices came from behind.
…

The Illusion Demon Movement at the tenth level made it no problem to chase someone in the corridor, as everyone in the group, except for Situ Luoyu and a few others capable of resisting being quickly closed in, only possessed basic light martial arts skills. Unless Situ Luoyu was cold-hearted enough to ignore the lives of his comrades entirely.

However, given Situ Luoyu’s cunning, he would never risk his subordinates’ lives just for his own gain.

Seeing Happy closing in at lightning speed, his heart sank—he immediately realized today’s situation was doomed to end badly! He stopped abruptly, deciding to stop fleeing.

As soon as Situ Luoyu halted, the others also stopped and turned around, activating their realm-based defenses!

Boom!!

Dozens of powerful auras from the Mysterious Realm surged up from the corridor, facing Happy, who descended from the sky like a phantom. Situ Luoyu’s expression turned cold: “Last time at Fox Cave, we already suffered heavy losses. Yet you still persist in chasing us relentlessly, refusing to give us a chance to live! Do you really think our Luoyu Sect is easy to bully?!” Though his tone was fierce, everyone knew Situ Luoyu had no real confidence—otherwise, he wouldn’t have run at the first sign of trouble. Besides, the destruction of the Five Poisons Sect had happened just a few hours ago!

Facing Happy now was no less daunting than confronting a demon.

“Hmph.”

Happy let out a disdainful snort through his nose: “Brother Situ, it seems your memory isn’t very good…” To be honest, Happy wasn’t in a hurry either. As long as he could drag the Luoyu Sect down to the first level of Fox Cave, preventing them from reaching the First-Class Hall, he really didn’t mind having a chat with Situ Luoyu, who was about to die. Compared to Ao Cangsheng from the Five Poisons Sect, Situ Luoyu didn’t inspire as much of a desire in him to eliminate him immediately.

“I haven’t forgotten how you pretended to mediate at Fox Cave while secretly attacking me. A few days ago, you even joined forces with the Five Poisons Sect to attack my friend ‘Universal Medicine’. With these old and new grievances, shouldn’t I settle accounts with you?”

“I had no knowledge of your friend’s affairs!”

Seeing Happy stop to argue, Situ Luoyu’s previously despondent heart suddenly perked up. His expression turned serious as he denied everything outright: “Since we parted at Fox Cave, I left Wuhu and ordered my subordinates not to fight against you. So it definitely couldn’t be my order. If Brother Happy knows who did it, tell me their name, and I’ll expel them from the sect immediately!”

“Stop acting.”

Happy sneered at Situ Luoyu, who was extremely good at acting. As Situ Luoyu’s face paled, Happy spoke slowly and clearly: “Some things cannot be undone or repaired… The Five Poisons Sect is like that! The Luoyu Sect is the same!”

As they spoke, Lei Zhan and Xiao Bei had already ended the subsequent battles. In just a few strides, they arrived behind Happy, staring at Situ Luoyu’s group with aggressive eyes.
Situ Luoyu’s heart turned cold!
At this moment, he finally realized:
Today, the Luoyu Sect would likely not be able to escape this disaster.
……
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Fox Cave, in the Dead Wolf Woman’s secret chamber,
at the center of four beast-paw sculptures, several blazing flames burned fiercely, emitting a heat and light filled with the scent of gunpowder. This illuminated a girl standing in mid-air, dressed in human clothing. Her skin was fair, but her face lacked any innocence typical of a girl—instead, it bore a fierce expression. With a shrill howl, wild patterns resembling wolves and foxes quickly covered her face, and a gray-black wolf tail emerged from behind her skirt.
The Dead Wolf Woman was completely exposed under the light of the fire dragon stone, with nowhere to hide!
Now, deprived of her invisibility advantage, she was just an ordinary small boss at the Life and Death realm…
Around the hall of the Dead Wolf Woman’s secret chamber, hundreds of martial artists stood in clear opposition. Among them, the figures of Meng Yun, the leader of the First Rank Hall, and Mo Feng, the leader of the Heroic Gate, could be faintly seen.
“There’s only one Dead Wolf Woman. Sister Mo Feng, what do you think should be done to decide who gets her?”
Her voice was melodious and pleasant to hear. As she spoke, Meng Yun stepped out of the crowd with graceful movements. Her translucent silver veil gave her an air of mystery and allure, while the aura of the top expert on the Phoenix Ranking also spread, reaching everyone’s heart.
“What do you think, sister?”
Mo Feng’s voice was clear and carried a youthful vigor as she looked straight at Meng Yun.
Meng Yun’s eyes curved playfully as she spoke in a delicate voice throughout the chamber:
“The Dead Wolf Woman and the Fiery Beauty Treasure are both unique, destined to belong to only one party. To avoid mutual destruction between our two sects, how about we each send five people to compete and decide who gets the Dead Wolf Woman?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Feng swiftly tore off her cloak and threw it aside, revealing her finely crafted combat attire. Her tone was decisive: “Why go through such trouble? Let’s settle it in one battle! The loser will leave with their people.”
“Great! I’ve long heard that Sister Mo Feng is masterful with her ‘Dragon and Mandarin Duck Saber,’ making ordinary people no match for her. Today is the perfect chance for me to learn from her.”
Meng Yun stepped out of the crowd…
Placing herself on one side and the other, she sandwiched the Dead Wolf Woman in between.
The people around took a slight breath, quickly realizing how significant this confrontation would be…
