Chapter 209: Remnants of the Dead Wolf Woman
Whoosh!
Hong Chen emerged from the Dead Wolf Woman’s secret chamber and saw Kaixin surrounded by two gangs at once. Without hesitation, he flew over and stood in front of Kaixin:
“Are you okay?”
“Hehe, I’m fine. What’s going on in there?”
Kaixin happened to hear Ji Feng giving the order to retreat, realizing that the situation was hopeless. He smiled calmly, lowered his Battle-Tested Sword to the ground, and stepped back with Hong Chen, allowing the members of the two gangs to leave.
At first, Hong Chen was puzzled as to why they left suddenly, but when he saw the piles of corpses scattered across the ground—over thirty in total—he grew increasingly astonished. He stared at Kaixin in disbelief:
“You did this all by yourself?”
These were all elite fighters with advanced martial skills, not just ordinary gang members of mixed quality. Even he wouldn’t be able to defeat so many skilled opponents in such a short time.
At this moment, excessive modesty was nothing but hypocrisy!
Kaixin didn’t bother to explain or defend himself. He sheathed his Battle-Tested Sword, glanced indifferently at the members of the two gangs who had retreated to the adjacent cave, and muttered, “The Falling Feathers Sect and the Joyful Happiness Sect… nothing special…” before turning and walking away.
Hong Chen stood frozen in shock for a long time, scanning the piles of corpses. After a while, he uttered an honest sigh:
“A master fighter!”
Yao Shi Wanneng, with his peculiar expression, walked over. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and cursed,
“Some so-called master fighter! Just a brat!”
“…”
Hong Chen was stunned.
Yao Shi Wanneng glared at him:
“What are you staring at? You call him a master fighter, then send me to clean up his mess. This kid thinks he can order people around just because he’s young. I, the first-generation successor of the Master Hand Sect, have to clean up after dead people… Damn kid! Kills people and runs away, then expects me to clean up, claiming he forgot and is too ashamed to turn back… What a pathetic excuse! Truly disgusting!” After saying that, he deliberately spat to show his disdain.
Then he rushed over, rummaging through each corpse. Whenever he found something, his little eyes shone brightly, and his eyebrows trembled violently. His once dignified demeanor was completely gone, replaced by utter sleaziness.
“…”
Hong Chen stood there silently.
If it weren’t for concern that the members of the two gangs might return, he really wouldn’t want to stay and watch Yao Shi Wanneng’s disgusting behavior.
Turning his gaze, Hong Chen looked toward the secret chamber with a complex expression.
“Yao Shi, I have a question.”
“I’m not busy talking to you now. You’d better keep your question for later.” Yao Shi narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the golden-colored object he had taken from a corpse’s pouch. Without even turning around, he replied in a completely indifferent tone.
“…”
Rolling his eyes, Hong Chen frowned and asked, “How on earth did Happy cultivate to reach such a level of skill? To be honest, I’m increasingly curious—why can Happy do things that others can’t, and why does every move of his bring endless surprises?”
“Good question.” As he spoke, Yao Shi swiftly put the golden bar in his pocket, then looked up and began searching another corpse nearby. “If you find the answer, please send me a message via pigeon… I’ll cover the travel expenses.” With that, a book appeared in his hand. He glanced at it quickly before losing interest.
Hong Chen was utterly speechless. “Aren’t you friends?”
“Just acquaintances, with a little bit of camaraderie from battles.” Yao Shi spoke casually, seemingly distracted, stuffing piles of silver and gold coins into his pocket. He added absentmindedly, “Please ask him in person if you have questions. Honestly, I’ve only met him twice—I might not know more than you do.”
“Met him twice? And you still dared to form a team and provoke people from the Falling Feather Sect and the Changle Sect?”
Hong Chen turned to look at Yao Shi. This news seemed even more unbelievable than seeing Happy defeat a group of top experts.
“Did they provoke us? Don’t get the priorities wrong.”
Finally, Yao Shi replied seriously, giving him a glare before ignoring his further questions and focusing on looting the loot.
After asking for a while with no response, Hong Chen gave up.
At that moment, a deafening, agonized howl came from inside the secret chamber:
“Argh!!!!”
The sound was mournful and desperate, filled with resentment and anger. It penetrated through the layers of the chamber and reached the ears of the players outside.
The members of the Falling Feather Sect and the Changle Sect had all disappeared; only small gangs remained outside. Having witnessed the two major factions defeated by Happy, with dozens of cold corpses scattered throughout the cave, served as a warning to any foolish players, urging them to stay back and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or hostility from those inside.
But hearing the Death Wolf Woman’s scream, everyone was shocked: “The Death Wolf Woman!”
“They killed the Death Wolf Woman!!”
“How is that possible… There are only a few of them…”
The gang members who understood how formidable the Death Wolf Woman was were shocked and turned pale, feeling even more awe toward her. Truly worthy of challenging both the Luoyu Sect and the Changle Sect—she truly topped the list of greatest experts in the “Secrets of the Jianghu.” As the saying goes, even the fiercest dragons must cross the river!
“Let’s go.”
“The Death Wolf Woman is gone, and there’s no need to stay in the Fox Cave anymore.”
“That’s right… The key to the third floor is in Situ Luoyu’s hands… That bastard…”
“…”
Outside the secret room, many gang members lost interest in staying any longer and gradually left. Hongchen and Yaoshi Wanneng, though very curious about what had happened after the Death Wolf Woman’s death, stayed at their posts and did not enter the secret room to prevent anyone from having malicious thoughts at a critical moment.
…
As soon as the Death Wolf Woman disappeared, a human-shaped wolf with grayish-white fur appeared in the hall of the secret room. Along with it fell a highly exquisite Qiankun Bag, resembling a woman’s handbag and extremely beautiful and eye-catching.
Kai Xin eagerly picked up the exquisite Qiankun Bag, glanced at it, and immediately broke into a wide smile: “Not bad haul.”
She reached in and took out a secret manual, throwing it directly at Lei Zhan who was walking over: “Brother Lei, catch this!”
Lei Zhan instinctively caught it and saw it was “Fox Demon Shadow”!
“This is too precious! I can’t take it,” Lei Zhan replied firmly after taking a deep breath.
Kai Xin, of course, knew what Lei Zhan was thinking. She smiled slightly and explained, “Don’t worry. Everyone gets their share; no one can escape. Xiao Bei, this one’s for you…” Another secret manual was thrown, landing in Xiao Bei’s hands. Three big characters glowed silver on it: “Void Spirit Body” — an excellent protective secret manual!
