“Look!”

“The people from Mu Clan are here.”

“I knew it. Happy hid his tracks and left elsewhere. The person leading the team this time is Sky Demon Branch’s master, Rampaging Dragon. Silver Wolf is also not in the team. This is good!”

There were around twenty men dressed up strangely in a small forest near Sky Demon Branch. Their faces were covered by black veils, hiding them. Many of them had one hand wrapped around a tree while they took a look at the people behind Rampaging Dragon from high above.

“Hmph.”

“These people still dream about monopolizing Sky Demon Secret Cave even without Happy and Silver Wolf guarding them?” The person in black who was at the tree closest to the front snorted coldly. A fierce light shone in his eyes.

Right when he finished speaking, the people behind him quickly agreed to whatever he said. “Big brother, should we attack now or wait a little longer?”

The speaker’s voice was sonorous, powerful, and determined. It held no signs of uneasiness even though their target was an entire party from Mu Clan.

“Don’t be hasty.” The leader made a gesture at the twenty or so party members behind him, telling them to remain calm and not be reckless. A cold glare shone through the black veil on his face. “Little North and Momo are both top-class elites of Mu Clan. Rampaging Dragon’s equipment is worth cities, so he can somewhat be considered one of them too.

“They have three elites in their group, and one of them is All-powerful Medicinal Stone, whose Body Movement is more than two hundred. It’ll be very difficult for us if we try to destroy all of them. Besides, there are still a lot of Mu Clan members outside. We’ll take action after they enter Sky Demon Sect.”

“Understood!”

The group behind him fell back into dead silence like they were logs.

When some time passed, one of them shouted out, “They entered!”

Rampaging Dragon and his group were outside for a few minutes before they dismounted and went into Sky Demon Sect in a single file.

Once the leader waved his hand, the group of people in the forest quietly landed on the ground, exchanged a glance with each other, and a few of them went forward as scouts while the others equipped sharp metallic claws and began digging the ground with their hands as if those limbs were Wind and Fire Wheels!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A hole was quickly opened on the flat ground, and they quickly jumped inside.

A small hump was formed on the ground, and that hump quickly moved through the forest. It circled round the area where the Mu Clan members trained and headed to the entrance of Sky Demon Sect.

The men in black vanished without alerting anyone.

Eleventh Crane, who had been monitoring the small forest in the distance, suddenly had an incredibly strange and uneasy feeling. The sensation of being watched had vanished without a warning.

“What’s going on?” Eleventh Crane had a puzzled expression appear on his face. “Have they left?”

As he spoke, he frowned deeply. He could not believe that those people would choose to leave after monitoring them for so long.

However, the small forest was more than 656 feet away from Sky Demon Sect. There were also a few teams who were training on their way there. It was impossible for anyone to approach Sky Demon Sect without alerting any Mu Clan members.

“I’ll go over and take a look.”

Eleventh Crane had a very bad feeling.

Many great players and sects coveted Sky Demon Secret Cave. It was especially so when a few parties had taken the initiative to offer their Sky Demon Orders to party with Mu Clan. After going in together, they noticed that there was a hot and cold tunnel in Sky Demon Secret Cave, and many players were determined to learn their secrets.

Happy and Silver Wolf’s departure had led to the appearance of the mysterious surveillants.

With a keen mind, Eleventh Crane linked all those factors together, and a hint of unease rose in his heart!

As time passed, the feeling that he was being watched no longer appeared, and the uneasiness in Eleventh Crane’s heart grew stronger. In the end, he could no longer hold it in. He stood up, turned his head around, and said, “Two of you, come here. Follow me into the forest to take a look.”

When the people in the group heard Eleventh Crane’s words, they said nothing but just stood up to surround him with their weapons drawn and ready for battle while they moved into the forest.

When they rushed into it, they examined the whole area.

The group finally gathered together around a strange freshly dug hole.

“What is this?”

When Eleventh Crane saw the hole that could fit a person, his expression changed slightly. He said nothing else but exerted force in his legs. His qi instantly exploded from beneath his feet, and it quickly charged to the ground beneath him.

Boom!

A tunnel that was dozens of feet long instantly collapsed, and he learned that it was headed to Sky Demon Sect.

The Mu Clan members looked at each other at a loss.

“This is bad!”

“They’ve dug a tunnel to enter Sky Demon Sect!”

While crying out in alarm, Eleventh Crane brought out a messenger pigeon. He did not dare to be slow or inattentive in this matter. He quickly wrote a letter and released it into the forest.

Once he did that, he shouted urgently, “Hurry! Gather our men!

“Send messenger pigeons to our members in other branches. Tell our friends in Sky Demon Branch to increase defense level to Class One! Don’t let anyone get close to the branch!

“All members near Sky Demon Sect should now enter the cave with me!”

The Mu Clan members near Sky Demon Sect instantly burst into an uproar.

Once they learned that there was someone targeting Rampaging Dragon and his party, everyone became incredibly angry. Hundreds of elites quickly gathered together and surrounded the entrance of Sky Demon Sect.

When Eleventh Crane was prepared to lead the group into Sky Demon Sect, a snow-white messenger pigeon landed on his shoulder in front of everyone’s eyes.

Silence fell among them.

Eleventh Crane quickly opened the letter and read it. The frown between his eyebrows swiftly vanished.

Rampaging Dragon had replied to him saying that he already knew. He also mentioned in the letter that they had enough power to handle any danger, so he told Eleventh Crane not to bring anyone inside so that nothing unexpected happened.

Eleventh Crane said nothing.

When he saw Rampaging Dragon’s lively but illegible handwriting, even though Eleventh Crane was still a little worried, he quickly calmed down.

Rampaging Dragon was not a rash person.

Since he mentioned that he had made full preparations, it meant that he had made full preparations.

Besides, once Happy and Silver Wolf left the party, logically speaking, they should not be able to kill the evil cult’s great elder. If they wanted to get rid of the two main powers, they should have added new members into it.

Eleventh Crane’s mind moved very quickly. He swiftly recalled the unfamiliar faces in Rampaging Dragon’s team. They were normal Mu Clan members, but they could join such a high-ranking mission... and it was even a mission that Eleventh Crane himself did not have the chance to join.

“Could it be them?”

Eleventh Crane was a little excited.

Recently, there were a lot of rumors online saying that Mu Clan might have expanded quickly, but the number of their top-class elites never increased. In comparison, when Towering Palace obtained a lot of resources, they also opened up many paths and took in a lot of powerful foreign players. They caught up to Mu Clan, and it was only a matter of time before they surpassed Mu Clan and became the strongest sect in China.

Many Mu Clan members were angry but also resigned to this.

But a few unfamiliar faces had suddenly appeared, which made Eleventh Crane suddenly realize that Happy had given a set of valuable equipment to Rampaging Dragon and the others recently, and he linked it up with his act of dividing a few major regions.

It made him come to the conclusion that Happy was setting up something right in front of everyone, but no one was seeing it.
