Urban Wolf King

Upon hearing Catwoman Xiaojie threaten Wang Yan, Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, and Ma Jun all stood in front of Wang Yan, blocking Catwoman Xiaojie.

Now, the three of them were no longer inexperienced and didn't need to rely on Wang Yan's protection to survive.

Although their cultivation levels were no match for Catwoman Xiaojie, they could definitely fight her to a draw, with chances evenly split at fifty-fifty.

However, Wang Yan stepped forward, blocking Beiming Xue and the others behind him. He walked alone to face Catwoman Xiaojie and smiled slightly, saying, "What if I don't leave?"

Catwoman Xiaojie's expression turned cold, and she said, "If you don't leave, I'll kill you right now."

Wang Yan shook his head, looked at Xiaojie, and said, "Though your face is full of killing intent, I don't sense any real intent to kill from you. Not only that, but you're also filled with deep concern, so you won't lay a hand on me."

Hearing Wang Yan's words, Catwoman Xiaojie was taken aback, and the killing intent on her face vanished. However, she stubbornly said, "If you don't leave, you'll surely die in three days. I'd rather kill you myself than let you die at the hands of Snake Soul."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan nodded and said, "So the person behind Xiahou Que is Snake Soul."

Catwoman Xiaojie was stunned and then looked incredulously at Wang Yan, asking, "So you knew there was someone behind Xiahou Que instructing him."

Wang Yan said calmly, "If Snake Soul is the one behind Xiahou Que, then the one threatening you must be Snake Soul too, without a doubt."

Hearing this, Catwoman Xiaojie was even more bewildered. She first shook her head, then lowered it helplessly, saying, "How did you know Snake Soul was threatening me?"

Wang Yan said, "Since the person behind the scenes is Snake Soul, I have nothing to worry about. In three days, I'll go to Three Principles Mountain and settle things with Snake Soul."

With that, Wang Yan turned to leave.

Catwoman Xiaojie hurriedly shouted, "Snake Soul is not what he used to be; his cultivation level..."

Before she could finish, Wang Yan intercepted, "His level is already at the Initial-Tier Demon King."

Hearing this, Catwoman Xiaojie seemed dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at Wang Yan. After a long while, she asked in shock, "How... how did you know?"

Wang Yan smiled slightly, saying, "Your level is Demon Master Great Perfection. If he's troubling you, then his level must be higher than yours, making him undoubtedly a Demon King. Previously, Snake Soul was only at the Demon Master level; to break through to Demon King so quickly is already remarkable. He can't be any higher than the Initial-Tier."

Hearing Wang Yan's analysis, Catwoman Xiaojie was completely stunned.

Though she knew Snake Soul's level was that of a Demon King, she didn't know whether he was Initial, Middle, or High Tier. Hearing Wang Yan's logical deductions, which were spot on despite never having seen Snake Soul himself, startled her.

Catwoman Xiaojie gazed at Wang Yan in shock, as if meeting him for the first time.

By this time, Wang Yan had already turned away, gradually leaving with Beiming Xue and the others.

As Wang Yan departed, Catwoman Xiaojie heard his voice, "You came to persuade me to leave, showing you care about me. Naturally, I won't betray you. Killing Snake Soul is just the first step; one day, I'll help you escape the control of the Black Dragon and grant you freedom."

Hearing Wang Yan's words, Catwoman Xiaojie's body trembled violently, and her heart was swept by a tremendous emotional wave.

Every word Wang Yan said resonated deeply within her.

These were things Catwoman Xiaojie had never shared with anyone, yet Wang Yan had guessed them perfectly, as if reading her mind.

Watching Wang Yan's figure disappear into the distance, Catwoman Xiaojie murmured softly, "Wang Yan, I hope you survive this ordeal. Three days from now, you must live through Snake Soul's challenge."

Three days later.

At the foot of Three Principles Mountain.

Stood dozens of people.

These dozens were members of the Grey Wolf Alliance, including Wang Yan, Ma Jun, Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, Catwoman Xiaojie, Lin Hai, the Yak, Tang Jingyi, and lastly Xiahou Que.

At this time, Xiahou Que, once again assuming a righteous facade, said to Lin Hai and the others, "This time, as we ascend the mountain, we must teach the Japanese a lesson. Show them that we are the true Ancient Country, and they are just the Wa Race from Japan."

Lin Hai and the Yak showed excitement in their eyes and immediately shouted, "Yes, yes."

"Defeat them."

Xiahou Que glanced at Wang Yan and said, "Wang Yan, will you retreat at the last moment?"

Wang Yan replied calmly, "If you don't, I won't."

Xiahou Que snorted coldly, saying, "I indeed won't, but I worry you might."

Wang Yan cast a meaningful glance at Xiahou Que, saying, "I hope you truly won't."

Xiahou Que snorted angrily in his heart, "Hmph, flaunt your arrogance for now. Once we're on the mountain, let's see how you keep that arrogance. Lord Snake Soul has already driven the sow up the mountain, haha, and I'll make you put on quite the show in front of Beiming Xue. And as for you, Beiming Xue, you cheap woman, I won't let you off easily either. Lord Snake Soul has prepared a sow for Wang Yan, and I've prepared a boar for you."

With a malicious glint in his eyes, Xiahou Que turned and headed into Three Principles Mountain.

Lin Hai and the Yak immediately followed Xiahou Que, making their way into the mountain.

Wang Yan and the others also continued their journey into the mountain.

The path of Three Principles Mountain was rugged; the deeper they went, the more overgrown the weeds became, obscuring the road.

However, Xiahou Que seemed extremely familiar with this path, leading the way confidently through the wild grass.

As Xiahou Que walked deeper, he kept his eyes on the distance, until he saw a crooked-neck tree, whereupon his face lit up with joy, thinking: This is it. Last night, I set some traps here, hehe, and before we climb the mountain, I'll use these traps to shame Wang Yan thoroughly.

With this in mind, Xiahou Que stopped, turned to Wang Yan, and said, "Wang Yan, there's still a way to go before we reach our agreed meeting place with the Japanese. You should lead the way from here."

Upon hearing Xiahou Que's words, Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, smirking slightly.

Seeing Wang Yan unmoving, Xiahou Que said, "What? Are you refusing to follow my orders? Don't forget, I am the alliance leader right now."

Upon this, Lin Hai and the others added, "Wang Yan, at this point, we should all be united. Don't forget, you promised to follow Mr. Xiahou Que's orders."

Wang Yan chuckled lightly, saying, "Fine, I have no objections."

With that, Wang Yan swiftly moved to the front and proceeded ahead.

Wang Yan led, with Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, and Ma Jun closely following behind.

Seeing the four advance, Xiahou Que thought with glee, "Well, since you four are sticking together, I'll sit back and enjoy watching you make fools of yourselves."

Thinking this, Xiahou Que immediately followed behind Wang Yan and the other three.

As Wang Yan and the four approached the crooked-neck tree, Xiahou Que's eyes widened with excitement, thinking, "This manure shower, Wang Yan, you can't avoid it."
