The Hungry Wolf Gang leader was a formidable martial artist, leading the way with his wolf-toothed mace. He was the first to brutally slaughter two desperate low-ranking disciples. Using his mace, he ruthlessly battered their unrecognizable corpses, mocking, "A bunch of rabble, you sure know how to run."

Some disciples didn't want to sit and wait for death. They used their spell to resist. But their usually unbeatable fireball spell fizzled out when it met the asbestos armor. Although some damage was caused, it lost its lethal power. They tried to set up their blue light shields for protection, but these were pierced through by hidden crossbows.

The Hungry Wolf Gang leader saw everyone in the surrounding hills chasing the slippery cultivators, feeling discontented in his heart.

"Humph! If I had known that the Mystical Dragon Sect was full of cowards, I wouldn't have feared them for over twenty years!"

By now, he didn't consider the Mystical Dragon Sect a threat anymore. He was pondering that once the Mystical Dragon Sect was removed, the Northern Yan region would be leaderless, causing chaos. Then, the various sects would undoubtedly start a new struggle for territory. The Hungry Wolf Gang was one of the strongest sects, and they feared no other sects except the Sky-aspiring Sect. The catapults and crossbows of the Sky-aspiring Sect in this battle had made him worry.

Considering that the main forces of the other sects were currently at Yandang Mountain, a hint of malice flickered in his eyes.

"Send a secret command! The members of the Hungry Wolf Gang will retreat down the mountain secretly! The catapults at the bottom of the mountain are now unguarded. Snatch them from the Sky-aspiring Sect and immediately set Yandang Mountain on fire! I want the main forces of the other six major sects and the Mystical Dragon Sect to be buried here together! Seven major sects attack Mystical Dragon Sect, six major sects are annihilated along with Mystical Dragon Sect, and only the Hungry Wolf Gang survives. This series of events sounds quite pleasant to the ear!"

The Hungry Wolf Gang leader smirked, "The Hungry Wolf Gang will replace the Mystical Dragon Sect to become the number one power in Northern Yan!"

This vicious plot frightened Shu Han, who was hiding in the bushes. He came from the back mountain to find Erdan and Goudan in the Elders' chamber, but when he arrived, the chamber was empty. At this moment, the seven major sects had surged up from the foot of the mountain. Thanks to Shu Han's small stature, he was able to move quietly through the dense bushes, otherwise, he would have been discovered.

"Who's there!"

The Hungry Wolf Gang leader detected Shu Han's tremor, throwing his mace at him, but unfortunately missed. Shu Han reacted quickly and ran towards the back mountain.

"Damn it! He must have overheard!"

The Hungry Wolf Gang leader gritted his teeth and ordered his men, "Proceed as planned! I'm going to catch that one who slipped through the net! Don't start until you see me come back!"

With that, the Hungry Wolf Gang leader chased after Shu Han, plowing through the brambles.

His shiny dagger was slashing through the underbrush, pursuing the small figure of Shu Han in the dark.

The Hungry Wolf Gang leader was no slouch in martial arts, but thanks to Shu Han's small body, he could quickly navigate through the dense bushes. Meanwhile, the Hungry Wolf Gang leader could only swing his dagger wildly. Still, they were getting closer.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Shu Han ran like his life depended on it, through the bushes, only to trip and fall onto the stone steps of Yandang Mountain. Next to a burning torch, he was picked up by the collar by a hand.

A bright blade was pointed at him. Under the dim torchlight, Shu Han saw a familiar face - it was Mu Wan'er who had let him go into the bamboo forest that day. Mu Wan'er was also surprised. She had been chasing the disciples of the Mystical Dragon Sect, when this kid suddenly sprang out of the nearby forest.

They were not in the same gang!

Shu Han didn't have time to think too much and immediately yelled out, "The leader of the Hungry Wolf Gang has sent people to seize the catapults at the bottom of the mountain, and they plan to bury all six major sects on Yandang Mountain!"

"You brat, you're courting death!"

A bright dagger cut through the bushes, and the Hungry Wolf Gang leader broke through the bushes, the dagger flying fiercely toward Shu Han.

Ding!

A chill ran down Shu Han's spine, but the dagger was knocked away. In front of him was a jade-green treasured sword.

Mu Wan'er drew her sword in front of the Hungry Wolf Gang leader, angrily saying, "Gao Hengtian, what are you trying to do!"

The Hungry Wolf Gang leader put away his ferocious face, saying with open hands, "This child is a disciple of the Mystical Dragon Sect, I'm just eliminating the root of the problem."

However, Shu Han immediately yelled out, knowing this was his only chance, "No! Sister! I heard it with my own ears. He said that the Mystical Dragon Sect was nothing to be feared, and without it, Northern Yan would be in chaos..."

"Shut up!"

The Hungry Wolf Gang leader laughed at Mu Wan'er, "Wan'er, this Mystical Dragon Sect child is spouting nonsense, how can we believe his words meant to break the unity of our seven major sects? You know my feelings for you, how could I plan such a thing."

Mu Wan'er's brow furrowed, and she whispered something to her subordinate. A group of people immediately hurried down the mountain. Then she sheathed her long sword, coldly saying, "Leader Gao is right, the unity of the seven major sects cannot be undermined. Please leave, Leader Gao, and continue to eliminate the people of the Mystical Dragon Sect."

These words immediately filled Shu Han with despair. He couldn't understand why his clear logic couldn't convince her.

The Hungry Wolf Gang leader revealed a smile, looking menacingly at Shu Han, "Now there's a disciple of the Mystical Dragon Sect, I'll feel better after eliminating him!"

"No!"

Mu Wan'er still protected Shu Han, angrily saying, "Look carefully, this kid is plainly dressed, unlike the Mystical Dragon Sect's luxurious clothing. How can you indiscriminately kill a child!"

"Haha, Miss Wan'er is right, I'll leave now..."

With that, the Hungry Wolf Gang leader suddenly turned around, his hidden dagger unexpectedly stabbing toward Shu Han.

"You dare!"

Suddenly, Shu Han's head started to hurt intensely. His intuition sensed something rapidly approaching, the feeling was terrifying as if countless vengeful spirits were howling in his ear.

At the same time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Hungry Wolf Gang leader's expression suddenly froze. By the dim torchlight, everyone could see a bloody hole appear on his forehead.

Bang!

The body fell heavily to the ground.

Immediately after, the people of the Sky-aspiring Sect also had similar bloody holes appear on their heads.

Everyone was scared silly by the sudden event, not knowing what was happening. It was as if a death god was silently snatching their companions' lives. Only Shu Han could sense it - it was a fast magic treasure weaving through the crowd.

"Be careful!"

Shu Han's intuition was screaming at him, he jumped into Mu Wan'er's arms, pushing her into the bushes at the bottom of the mountain. The two of them tumbled down the mountain. After what felt like forever, the two finally stopped rolling.

During their tumble, Mu Wan'er broke several ribs, but that pain was nothing compared to the intense pain coming from her waist. She touched her side and felt a smooth bloody hole, blood was gushing out.

"This..."

In no time at all, due to excessive blood loss, Mu Wan'er lost consciousness.

Shu Han crawled out of her arms, seeing the bright red stain on Mu Wan'er's waist, he immediately panicked. He tore off his clothes to make a simple bandage for her and carried her towards the valley.

"Sister, hang in there! We're not far from the valley!"

At this moment, an old voice echoed throughout Yandang Mountain.

"I am Master Mystical Dragon, you ignorant mortals dared to invade my sect, your sins are unforgivable. Die as an apology."
