Chapter 1213: The Awakening of the Flaming Wolf

Watching the artificial sandstorm engulfing the sky, the uncertain situation nearly drove Xiao Taohong and Xian Er to collapse!
Behind them, hundreds of warriors from all corners rushed out of the Martial Temple fearlessly just moments earlier, unknown why. Joining forces with the Flaming Wolf, who wielded the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon, they turned Yan Town into chaos. The Flaming Wolf waged a brutal massacre, and now, with the townspeople still in disarray, Happy had suddenly caused yet another upheaval!
Happy struck repeatedly, breaking more than half of the Great Restriction Spell. Many skilled Wild Wolf warriors were mysteriously killed in the obscured sandstorm, while the rest fled wounded, their formation in complete disarray.
The town and its surroundings instantly turned into utter chaos, with the situation slipping out of control.
Xiao Taohong and Xian Er’s expressions changed repeatedly!
Originally, this border region of the Central Plains was their blessed land. Once they left here, they would be free to go wherever they wished. Leaving Yan Town would mean securing control over the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon and achieving victory in the restricted-area mission “Longmen Inn.”
But who would have thought…
Happy took advantage of the desert’s sandstorm to effortlessly break through the Great Restriction Spell, formed by eighty-one top experts.
Just then…
A messenger pigeon descended from the sky…
Xiao Taohong’s eyes lit up before quickly dimming again.
Though they longed for their leader’s guidance in times of confusion, the thought that their leader was watching everything closely from afar and witnessing the chaos here made their expressions extremely complex.
Boom!!!!
Several sword auras shot out from the swirling sandstorm, narrowly missing the two women. Startled, they rushed into the town.
Along the way, Xian Er asked urgently, “Quick! What does the leader say in the letter?”
“…”
Xiao Taohong didn’t dare delay. While dodging the spiritual sword beams chasing from the sandstorm, she unfolded the note. After glancing at it, her expression turned grim.
Xian Er kept staring at Xiao Taohong, noticing the change in her expression. A hint of unease flashed in her eyes, but she forced herself to ask, “What does it say?”
“The leader wants us to withdraw.”
Xiao Taohong raised her head, her face pale, and spoke words that left Xian Er stunned and the nearby Wild Wolf warriors in shock.
Withdraw?
For the sake of the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon, the Wild Wolf Organization had dispatched over two hundred elite fighters from Asia, traveling nonstop for days across the desert. They had outwitted the heroes of the Central Plains, destroyed the entire Xifeng Tower, killed Dongfang Bubai, severely wounded the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and sacrificed hundreds of people to reach this point…
Give up?!

Many felt a tightness in their chests as they watched the sandstorm advancing from outside the town, their gazes heavy with reluctance.
“Did the leader say nothing else?”
Xian Er was the least able to accept this order. Her chest heaved violently, her face turned pale, and she spoke through gritted teeth.
On this mission to the Central Plains, they had brought thirteen elite teams skilled in the Great Banishment Spell. After dealing a devastating blow to the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance and killing Dong Fang Bu Bai, they were filled with pride and ambition, even considering wiping out Kai Xin to avenge themselves in the Central Plains. But as soon as they reached the desert, Kai Xin single-handedly shattered their Great Banishment Spell formation with one sword strike. Such a sharp contrast was unbearable for anyone.
Xiao Tao Hong gave her a sympathetic look and said bitterly, “The leader said that though the Great Banishment Spell is powerful, it’s unstable. Strength alone can’t deal with Kai Xin. We must return immediately! We have to give up the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon!”
She said the last part with absolute certainty.
After speaking, Xiao Tao Hong gave Xian Er a deep look, then scanned the surroundings…
Ah!
Ah!!
Two more comrades’ bodies were flung out of the howling sandstorm.
“Everyone, listen! The leader orders us to abandon the Flaming Wolves and leave the Central Plains right away!” Her voice rang like thunder across Yan Town. All the members of the Wild Wolf Organization froze upon hearing Xiao Tao Hong’s voice, their expressions filled with disbelief. It wasn’t until she repeated the Evil Emperor’s order that they reluctantly stopped fighting their enemies, left the battlefield one after another, and departed Yan Town.
…
In Yan Town, the four Silver Foxes were under immense pressure, relying solely on the “Four Ultimate Sword Formation” to fend off the top experts of the Wild Wolf Organization and buy time. Of course, the Central Plains experts, incited by others, also played a significant role, dying over and over but immediately returning from the Martial Temple to continue fighting. No matter their strength, their persistent and annoying tactics did ease some of the pressure on the four Silver Foxes.
Although these people couldn’t match the Wild Wolf Organization, with the Flaming Wolves and the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon as killing machines, the Wild Wolves simply couldn’t control the situation. Any interference would disrupt their formation, increasing danger and unnecessary casualties.
However…
As more martial artists died, the main pressure still fell on the four Silver Foxes!
They were even prepared to sacrifice themselves at any moment and take the Life and Death Dream Pill to re-enter the Martial Temple.
But fortunately, before things completely collapsed here, the Wild Wolves couldn’t hold on any longer and ordered a retreat.
“Leave?”

“Grandson! If you’ve got guts, don’t run!”
As the members of the Wild Wolf Organization set off, those who had been oppressed felt greatly inspired. Even those too weak physically spoke with full vigor.
The Wild Wolf members were used to obeying orders without hesitation, so they didn’t stop despite the insults behind them and quickly left the battlefield;
The people of Yan Town were even more motivated. Many who had just rushed out of the Martial Temple chased after them out of Yan Town. Their spirit and confidence seemed to suggest that it was they who had scared those others away.
But soon, a crowd gathered around Silver Fox!
“Hey!”
“Brother Silver Fox! Will you keep your promise to us?”
“That’s right, right! You said that if we helped you, you’d introduce us to Jinxiu Huashan…”
The crowd surrounded Silver Fox enthusiastically, afraid he might go back on his word.
Silver Fox was both amused and exasperated:
Yan Lang and the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon were still outside. Did these people not even recognize the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon? Or had Jinxiu Huashan’s appeal already surpassed that of the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon?!
Of course not.
It was just that this time, the Wild Wolf Organization’s tactics were extremely ruthless. With a lineup of over 200 top experts, they quickly took control of Yan Town, even managing to deal with Dongfang Bubai and the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Such a force filled the people of Yan Town with despair!
What made things even worse was the mental control ability of the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon.
Even top experts like Yan Lang were controlled by it, losing their minds. Many people grew wary—what good was having the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon if they couldn’t use it properly and would instead become puppets? This drastically reduced everyone’s interest in it.
On the contrary!
With his legendary experiences—entering the Desert Palace alone, facing off against the eight supreme experts of the Heavenly Dao, and even confronting the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance alone—compared to the unprecedented scale of the Wild Wolf Organization, his achievements shone even brighter. This made the people of Yan Town see the mysterious and powerful leader of Jinxiu Huashan in a new light.
Many had secretly discussed in the Martial Temple that Happy was the only player who entered the Desert Palace. Could he have brought back its treasures?
Could it be…
Just like Song Que of the Heavenly Blade, he might have stored the treasures from the Desert Palace in Jinxiu Huashan’s gang warehouse?
Countless people speculated!
So, when Silver Fox and his three companions started recruiting in the Martial Temple, many people refused payment, wanting only Silver Fox’s recommendation to join Jinxiu Huashan!
They believed that since Silver Fox and his trio were Happy’s only helpers in the desert, Happy must have some influence over them and hold considerable power within Jinxiu Huashan.

If not now, then when?
This time, the silver fox has tied itself in knots.
As the men of the Wild Wolf group retreated, they were surrounded by a group of enthusiastic martial artists, leaving no escape.
They could only watch helplessly as the Flaming Wolf chased after the Wild Wolf group.
If it weren’t for seeing Happy flying in from outside the town and rushing after the Flaming Wolf without pause, they might have truly been left speechless in frustration!
…
The men of the Wild Wolf group retreated quite swiftly.
Leaving behind a unlucky guy targeted by the Flaming Wolf, the rest scattered in different directions, heading deep into the desert.
Happy waited calmly until the unlucky guy was killed by the Flaming Wolf’s blade before leisurely waiting for the latter to turn around.
Roar!!!
The fierce killing intent of the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon remained undiminished.
Sensing the Flaming Wolf’s gaze on him, Happy felt as if he were being stared at by a fierce beast. A tiger’s roar seemed to echo in his ears, causing him to frown slightly.
Step!
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Happy’s mood instantly returned to calm, with his vital energy gently surrounding his body, and his keen senses spreading silently outward.
The Flaming Wolf had lost his consciousness, but when facing Happy, he seemed to sense a hint of danger and unease from him and did not react as quickly as he would when hunting ordinary players.
Under Happy’s slightly surprised gaze, the Flaming Wolf slowed down, his mouth opening to emit an uneasy growl. The blood-red fury in his eyes diminished slightly, and his fierce expression softened, revealing a look of shock and surprise.
“What’s going on?”
The Flaming Wolf’s face was filled with confusion!
He looked down, strangely examining his own hands and the heavy Tiger Soul Divine Weapon that granted him immense power, still not recovering from his shock.
During the time he was controlled by the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon, the Flaming Wolf never lost his consciousness; he could only not speak or act, but he could still see everything clearly, including his companions who were hunting him!
From initial surprise to horror, then numbness, and finally helplessness and despair when encountering Happy…
But at the most desperate moment, the Flaming Wolf strangely noticed:

I suddenly had control over my body again; my fingers moved slightly, and then a system prompt sounded in my ear.
