Chapter 107: The Fiery Beauty’s Treasure

“I won’t kill you. Your lives have nothing to do with me.”
The moment the Battle-Tested Sword was drawn from the man with the fan, Kai Xin turned around calmly, sheathed his sword, and faced Guixuan and the other person’s complex, remorseful gazes. He gave them a cold warning:
“Get your sect leader to respond soon. Tell him I’ve taken the Jade Jade. If he wants it back, he can come find me—I’m right here. If he wants revenge, I’m ready at any time. I won’t hold back.”
“…”
Guixuan’s gaze was filled with complexity. After a moment’s hesitation, she gritted her teeth and led her two injured companions away from the ancient tomb hall.
Only Kai Xin and the severely injured Red Coral remained in the hall!
The latter glanced at the corpses on the ground. She had initially wanted to express her dissatisfaction, but upon seeing Kai Xin’s indifferent look and recalling his astonishing strength, her heart clenched, and she swallowed her words.
“Still not leaving? Once the people from Zi Yang Sect arrive, you won’t be able to escape.”
“In my current state, do you think you can leave this ancient tomb safely?” Red Coral looked at Kai Xin with a pitiful expression, her hope evident.
Kai Xin smiled indifferently, took out the Jade Jade that had caused the massacre from his Qi Kun Bag, and looked at Red Coral:
“The reason you stayed is probably to try to uncover the secrets behind the Jade Jade from me. But know this—knowing too much won’t benefit you.”
“Hmph! Even someone as powerful as you dares to threaten a weak woman like me?”
Red Coral’s face turned red, but she refused to back down. “Besides, how do you know Zi Yang Sect won’t deliberately spread news about the Jade Jade?”
“That depends on how smart their sect leader is.” Unperturbed by Red Coral’s warning, Kai Xin continued to fiddle with the smooth, warm Jade Jade, a faint mysterious smile on his lips. “If things go to extremes, Zi Yang Sect will definitely spread the news about the Jade Jade. By then, you won’t need to hear it from me to know its secrets… But if I tell you, and trouble arises, your Black Rose family might also be suspected. Are you still sure you want to know the secrets?”
“…”
At these words, Red Coral stiffened—her earlier ease vanished instantly.
“Hmph! If you won’t tell, fine! It’s just a piece of broken jade. What’s the need to scare people?” She snapped stubbornly and turned her head away.
“Still not leaving?”
“You…”

The other party expelled them once again, and this time Red Coral was truly angry. Biting her lip, she glared at him fiercely and said, “We’ll see.” With that, she turned and strode out of the hall with graceful steps; her apparent serious injury seemed less noticeable at that moment.

Hearing the stone giant’s furious roars and his rapidly fading footsteps, Happy smiled slightly, turning his gaze back to the jade pendant in his hand, showing a hint of relief. Though ordinary, the jade pendant was a crucial key to unlocking the “Nine-Tail Yao Hua Treasure” in the Fox Cave—a key that could lead martial artists into an endless abyss. It was unexpected that it had appeared so soon… and had fallen into the hands of the Zi Yang Sect… Now that it was in his possession, it was quite a gain.

This key could help him open the secret door to the third level of the Fox Cave, where he could find Yao Hua and the legendary Yao Hua Manual, which recorded Yao Hua’s greatest martial arts techniques throughout his life. In addition, he could obtain a demonic Yao Hua weapon!

Clutching the jade pendant tightly, Happy’s expression turned solemn.

Nine-Tail, Yao Hua… Once a pair of powerful martial artists in the world of martial arts, their strength nearly reaching the realm of breaking through space. Unfortunately, while practicing a demonic sect’s manual, they not only failed to make progress but also became possessed, turning into extremely evil monsters.

Yao Hua, whose condition was severe, lost the ability to move. Nine-Tail then created an independent cave to live in. He would go out during the day to seek medical help, but to prevent martial artists from disturbing Yao Hua, he not only set up illusion arrays but also raised a large number of mutated foxes to guard the cave. Thus, the Fox Cave got its name!

Within those illusion arrays, an ordinary red fox could reach the early stage of the Creation Realm, while the white fox, influenced more by the Yao Hua Manual, developed intelligence and reached around the Mysterious Realm level, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Although Nine-Tail and Yao Hua had lost much of their strength due to possession, their power was still beyond what ordinary martial artists could handle. Even Happy didn’t dare to provoke these two deadly foes recently.

He hadn’t forgotten how, in the past, many martial artists, in their bid to seize the Yao Hua Manual and Yao Hua’s weapon, severely wounded Yao Hua, prompting Nine-Tail to erupt in fury and unleash a massacre among the martial artists…

Dead bodies everywhere! Blood spread for miles!!

Under the moonlight, the massive Nine-Tail Fox, filled with sorrow, had tears of blood on his cheeks, his gaze cold and merciless, devoid of any human emotion or pity, leaving nothing alive in its path.

Recalling the judgments of many players in later generations about Yao Hua and Nine-Tail, this pair of loyal companions who stayed together until death, Happy couldn’t help but think of his ex-girlfriend who had abandoned him in his past life, a hint of bitterness and mockery flashing in his eyes.

Despite being delirious due to obsession, they still supported each other without ever abandoning one another—what profound affection is this?
“Coo! Coo!”
“Coo! Coo!”
“…”
As she pondered, a homing pigeon suddenly appeared in the ancient tomb hall.
Kai Xin jolted awake, quickly calming her mind, took the note from the pigeon’s foot, glanced at the signature at the back, and smiled:
The letter was from the leader of the Zi Yang Sect.
The note made no mention of the Jade Jewel, only briefly expressing apologies for the rude behavior of the Zi Yang Sect’s disciples.
Competent.
That was Kai Xin’s assessment of the Zi Yang Sect’s leader.
This middle-aged man, who seemed to have achieved some success in his past life, had great ambitions. Judging from his reaction, he was indeed a clear-minded person—at least he wouldn’t do things like those done by the Tian Ba Sect…
Shredding the note, Kai Xin’s slight worries vanished completely.
She picked up the Jade Jewel, studied it for a while before putting it back in her Qian Kun Bag!
Turning her gaze, she focused again on the stone giant that had reappeared in a corner not far away.
Relying on her knowledge of the stone giant’s fixed patterns, she immersed herself back in her training routine. The level of “Flower Hero’s Song” rose slowly. Although progress wasn’t fast, it was much quicker than during the time she trained with Lei Zhan. Including breaks, her progress was almost three times faster.
Occasionally, if she got accidentally brushed by the stone giant, her Black Sand Body would tremble violently, causing her level to rise slightly. Just based on level data, it was much faster than “Flower Hero’s Song.”
By noon, Kai Xin roughly estimated.
At this rate, by the time Lei Zhan logged in at night, “Flower Hero’s Song” would have progressed equivalent to two full days of training, and she should be able to reach the seventh level.
It seems…
More than ten days had passed since the escort mission was assigned. The Green Forest Alliance hidden around the capital city should take action now!
