“Damn it!”

“What the heck? It’s just because their sect is slightly stronger! Do they really think they’re our leaders now?”

So of the powerful players who had entered the tunnels looked displeased.

The abnormal situation in Fox Cave had foiled all their plans!

The fox monsters had been led into the tunnels, causing most of the sects to be unable to get any resources at all. This already displeased them greatly, but Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect then told them that they had to advance quickly. This ant that they resolutely occupied the vanguard in the two tunnels to the left and right.

They snatched most of the resources left by the fox monsters, not giving the other sects even a chance to attack, much less get the spoils of war. They just followed behind them in a closely-packed group, feeling very unhappy with the situation.

Chivalry Sect, one of the three great sects, had taken a few fox monsters in the hall. Even though they were also benefittors, the people did not hold as great of a grudge against them as they did to Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect.

Fortunately, they did not spend too much ti in the tunnel. Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect also knew that they could not stay around for too long. They used their full power in the tunnel, and all sorts of arrows, throwing knives, and other hidden weapons were used to deal with the skulk of fox monsters in front of them. They advanced very quickly.

In less than twenty minutes, the tunnels that were thousands of feet long were completely cleared. The two sides t up with each other and entered the second slightly larger cave.

The first level of Fox Cave was shaped like a huge 8.

The tunnels were connected to each other, and when they t up again, they ford a huge underground cave, which was a natural gathering spot for the fox monsters. This ant that those spots would have a relatively dense population of fox monsters.

However, the players were bound to be disappointed, because the second cave was also a desolate sight.

They could not see a large skulk of fox monsters. The only thing they saw were a dozen of fox monsters scattered here and there. They were spread through the cave that was less than six hundred and fifty-six feet long and wide. There were piles of white skulls all over the place.

“Bastard!”

The anger that had been accumulating in everyone’s hearts finally erupted when then players from the sects ca out from the tunnels. They longed to tear Happy and his party to shreds for having entered the cave ahead of them.

The strange situation in Fox Cave made it very different from usual. If there was anything that could have affected the distribution of monsters in Fox Cave, then the only possibility for it was Happy and his party.

They did not know how they did it and how they managed to safely shake off the pursuit of countless Blessed Realm and Mystical Realm fox monsters, but it greatly affected their operation and their opportunities to gain benefits!

“You better beg for your ancestors that I don’t find you, Happy!”

All the elites of the sects with high-tier martial arts gritted their teeth with fire burning in their eyes.

“Hmph!”

Only a small number of people could maintain their calm. They were shocked and worried about Happy’s party, which had already entered the second gathering spot.

They were shocked because four people who were not very well-known had easily cleared Fox Cave, even though an entire sect’s elites would usually find it hard.

And they were worried because they could not really tell whether it was truly Happy and his party’s first venture into Fox Cave. Even if it was, it was clear that they had not co unprepared. On top of that, no one could tell how far into the cave Happy and his party were and whether they would completely destroy the sect’s plans.

This worry was clearly reflected on the faces of Solitary Perpetual Joy and Situ Luoyu!

They had thought that Happy had co with the intention to take a stroll in Fox Cave and test his luck with his abilities, which could be considered to be pretty good, so they had never bothered to include him and his party into their plan.

But by the looks of it...

“We’ve miscalculated.” Solitary Perpetual Joy cast Situ Luoyu a profound glance. “I should have known that the person who had easily snatched a brocade box for himself in Mount Song while being a nobody, caused multiple sects to suffer losses, and managed to use the Killer Star’s fierce na to avoid the divination system and shake off his pursuers would not have entered Fox Cave unprepared.”

“Yeah.” Situ Luoyu nodded bitterly. “I made so calculations. He took at least one-third of the benefits in the first layer of Fox Cave. We cannot take whatever remains. If this continues, the other sects will vent their displeasure on us. We can only let them have those spoils, and when we enter the second layer, we’ll divide the resources again.”

“Okay.” Solitary Perpetual Joy could also sense that the leaders of the other sects were in a foul mood right then. Their gazes were no longer as respectful and obedient as they were while they were outside Fox Cave.

Those were the signs of displeasure and eventual rebellion!

If they continued to take what little remained of the resources, they might have to bear with the chain reaction and the bad consequences brought by Happy’s involvent.

“Fortunately, before the fox monsters in the first level are cleared, you can’t enter the second level. This ans that we still have a chance to et Happy.”

Solitary Perpetual Joy spoke with an underlying aning, and his gaze was profound, which stunned Situ Luoyu. In a mont though, he smiled and nodded in silence.

Naturally, he knew the aning behind Solitary Perpetual Joy’s words.

In truth, he was not the only one. All the sects in the area might have already thought about it, but not many of them would have the courage to carry it out.

By then, there was no one who could ignore Happy’s existence and the threat he posed!

The destruction of more than one hundred powerful players from Thousand Dragons Sect outside Fox Cave told them sothing—without sufficient power, their thoughts could only remain thoughts.

There were only three sects in Fox Cave that had the right to truly bring the idea into fruition: Fallen Feathers Sect, Perpetual Joy Sect, and Chivalry Sect.

But in the eyes of Solitary Perpetual Joy and Situ Luoyu, Chivalry Sect was full of people who presud themselves to be gentlen and ladies. They would definitely look down on deeds like that. Hence, the only ones who could bring that idea into fruition were them—the leaders of the two sects.

Whether or not the plan would be carried out depended on the two of them!

Solitary Perpetual Joy was not a simple character.

He was a very good professional player. Even though he was not as outstanding as Class One Hall, his subordinates had co into possession of many resources and great players. If anyone compared the strength of their sects as well, they would find that Perpetual Joy Sect was much stronger than Fallen Feathers Sect.

He was the one who was the most displeased with being set up by Happy!

“Once we et him, we must make him give up a few items.”

When Solitary Perpetual Joy said that, killing intent flash briefly in his eyes, but he had Situ Luoyu fixed at the corner of his vision.

He could not tell whether Situ Luoyu would have the sa thoughts as Chivalry Sect and whether he would want to have this extrely good player join them, since he was not affiliated to any sect just yet.

When he sensed Solitary Perpetual Joy’s gaze, Situ Luoyu spoke. “It’s very easy to et them. We just need to keep one fox monster alive.”

His tone was calm, as if he was talking about sothing that did not concern him.

Solitary Perpetual Joy laughed while feeling relieved.

“Let’s go! We’ll allow those small sects enjoy so benefits to avoid them saying we’re petty... Huh? The people from Chivalry Sect arrived!”

When they redirected their gazes, they noticed the fifty or so people from Chivalry Sect walking out of the tunnel in a grand manner. They were headed toward them.

A fierce glare shone briefly in Situ Luoyu’s eyes!

It did not escape Solitary Perpetual Joy’s notice. He smiled briefly, then cast aside Situ Luoyu’s matter and took the initiative to head toward Chivalry Sect.

“Haha, Brother Red Dust, you’re finally here! We’ve left behind the left tunnel for you, since you requested it. Go on...”

“Oh? Then we’ll receive your gift as a sign of respect for you!”

Red Dust had just arrived, and he did not understand the situation. When he saw that the crowd was still gathered in the area, he did not think much about it. He just voiced his gratitude and quickly led his people into the left tunnel.

He did not notice the faulty wording in Solitary Perpetual Joy’s ambiguous speech. He also did not notice that most of the sects in the area had beco enraged and displeased toward his sect!

Chivalry Sect had actually taken the initiative to reserve the resources of an entire tunnel for themselves...
