Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

...

West State Immortal Committee Operations Command Room.

One Immortal Technique Committee member after another sat behind rows of computers, filling the room completely.

Chairman Chen Shu stood at the front, issuing orders.

"Ensure the safety of the public first!

"Help evacuate the people!

"Have the residents from Happiness Peninsula been rescued yet?"

Committee Member Gu Lin watched over the computer, reporting swiftly.

"They have been rescued!"

Happiness Peninsula is a newly handed-over residential area; aside from a few who wanted an early experience, the majority of owners had not yet moved in.

Committee Member Gu Lin stayed by the computer, keeping an eye on the surveillance of Happiness Peninsula, continuously updating the situation.

"So far, we’ve detected over twenty figures heading to Happiness Peninsula, entering the air-raid shelter entrance.

"Our machine dogs entered the shelter but did not survive; they were swiftly destroyed!

"And there’s a car!"

...

In the desolate night, Happiness Peninsula was without street lights, shrouded in darkness with the cold wind blowing.

Vroom...

Amid the engine’s roar, a fiery red sports car crashed through the gate, charging down the main road with billowing dust!

Screech...

The car halted abruptly in front of the lobby entrance of Building One.

The tent opened, and the low driver’s seat was stuffed with a big fatty.

He clutched the steering wheel, wearing a grin, basking in satisfaction, eyeing the night and the neighborhood.

It was none other than the senior brother of Immortal Thief Stream, Yangpeng Lake!

In his mind, the voice of the Ancient Immortal was equally gleeful.

"What was meant to arrive has finally arrived!

"After tonight, the Immortal Thief Stream will be vastly different from before!"

Yangpeng Lake attempted to climb out of the car, but his plump body was stuck in the sports car’s seat.

Frustrated, he snapped the steering wheel with a "crunch" and tossed it aside.

With a "crunch," he broke the seat.

With a "crunch," he pushed the door open with one hand.

After all, the car was stolen; he didn’t care for it.

Moreover, after tonight, he’ll have as many of those cars as he wants!

What’s there to treasure anymore?

With this thought, he grinned as he climbed out of the car, greeted by the night wind, standing straight with his bulky frame.

...

In the restaurant’s private room.

The atmosphere was quiet and peculiar.

Cai Xiaozhen chuckled wryly.

"Expert Bai Mo, please come with me!

"If anything changes later, it might be too late to leave."

Bai Mo sat in his chair, frowning, feeling quite awkward.

Of course, he didn’t want to leave!

But the situation was a bit difficult to explain.

He frowned, opened his phone, casually browsing the Immortal Discussion Forum, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Look at the live broadcast!

"The Immortal Committee is live streaming, broadcasting the operations hall!

"Chairman Chen Shu, Professor Zhang, none of them have left!

"They all stayed in the West State, staying with the West State people!

"Then I’m not leaving either!

"I was born in West State, grew up in West State, ate West State food, enjoyed West State esteem, I will live and die with the West State!"

Fang Xiaoyu, Wu Qingyun, assistant Xiaoli, Old Xu, and others were moved, their eyes moist.

Is Expert Bai Mo reluctant to leave West State?

Could this be the integrity of a top scientist?

Is this the legendary undaunted spirit in the face of power?

Or is it the youthful vigor of Expert Bai Mo?

For a long time, they regarded Expert Bai Mo as a top scientist, but forgot he is still a teenager, a passionate teen!

Outside the private room, the restaurant staff’s chat was audible, some anxious, some composed.

"What’s happening?"

"Can the Immortal Committee handle this?"

"Can the West State Boss handle this?"

"Probably; he’s so formidable!"

"But online, people say these culprits are of a higher order than the West State Boss, the highest existing level!"

"Oh my, can this be held off?"

In the age of information, transparency is evident.

Some citizens still have faith in the West State Boss, but many are losing confidence, feeling unsettled.

Cai Xiaozhen stood beside the array map, a bitter smile on his face.

"This time... no one knows whether that West State Boss can still win... sigh...

"Well, Expert Bai Mo, I’ll wait with you a little longer!

"This place is not the center of the battlefield, so let’s磨磨 a while longer."

...

The wall at the end of the Happiness Peninsula air-raid shelter was completely eroded, revealing a deep, dark hole extending into the distance.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

One red-eared Immortal Thief Successor after another swiftly flew into the corroded hole!

Whoosh!

Another figure rushed in, wearing sportswear with deliberately reddened ears to disguise as an Immortal Thief Successor... it was Guan Yuexi!

In her mind, the angry voice of the Ancient Immortal resounded.

"These guys at Sword Grinding Holy Land are really foolish!

"In the current situation, what are the chances of winning?

"Instead of forging an Immortal Sword and benefiting the Immortal Thief, it would be better to let the Immortal Sword rot underground!

"They’re aiding and abetting the enemy!

"Your primary goal here is self-preservation, and assisting second. Don’t let their foolish actions drag you down, understand?"

Guan Yuexi nodded, gliding into the cavern-like passage, her divine sense spreading like the wind to sense the surroundings.

"Huh? A bend? A forked path?

"Master, do you know what’s going on at this Sword Grinding Holy Land?"

The Ancient Immortal was taken aback for a moment.

"I don’t know. But it looks like a treasure maze?"

Guan Yuexi suddenly understood.

...

Indeed, this underground cavern for treasure had turned into a complex maze! A three-dimensional maze underground!

Numerous Immortal Thieves, Guan Yuexi, and other spies sent by Ancient Immortals from the Dark World were running and drilling around this huge three-dimensional maze, searching for that super Immortal Sword!

...

At the end of the maze tunnel appeared a red stone door.

An Immortal Thief Stream descendant wearing a wool hat eagerly rushed forward.

"Hehe, I found it first!"

He pressed his head against the stone door, using his divine sense to perceive the situation inside!

But as soon as his divine sense went out, it was like a clay ox entering the sea... this treasury had special treatments, prohibiting divine sense!

"Ah?"

As he was about to try again, he suddenly felt weightless, being thrown backward, "thump," he fell to the ground.

"Who?"

He was about to get angry when he saw two white-tailed Immortal Beasts standing in front of the stone door!

West State Boss’s Immortal Beasts!

Wasn’t the West State Boss spineless? How did he come here?

He then saw the Immortal Beast gently tapping the red stone door with a paw, shattering it, revealing all sorts of gemstones glittering inside.

...

At the end of a passage.

A yellow stone door was covered with dense vines.

At the center of the vines, an eyeball was swirling, observing the newcomer.

Guan Yuexi stood frowning in front of this door.

"Treasure Vault Grass?

"Why is it a method from the Dan Kingdom?

"How do you open this?"

Swipe!

Before she finished speaking, a white Immortal Beast appeared beside her, nearly giving her a fright.

Is this... the West State Boss’s Grass and Wood Puppet Immortal Beast?

White Ears were hidden inside the Immortal Qi Vine Armor, turned its head to look at Guan Yuexi, remembered it was also a lackey from Fox Mountain, and ignored her.

It leaned forward, bringing its face close to that Treasure Vault Grass eyeball, as if ready to face-swipe.

In fact, it spat out medicinal qi from its mouth onto the swirling Treasure Vault Grass eyeball.

Then, to Guan Yuexi’s shock, unable to understand, the Treasure Vault Grass closed its eye instantly, retracting the vine silk, and with a "rumbling" sound, the stone door to the treasury opened!

White Ears tilted its head with a mischievous smile.

The medicinal qi was given by its master, specifically against Treasure Vault Grass!

The cup act was taught by Quanquan Hu, specifically to deceive clowns with no knowledge!

It poked its head into the treasury.

On the weapon rack inside, there were blue, red, and green Immortal Swords displayed, each with an imposing presence, its cold light trembling!

What series of Immortal Artifacts are these?

Guan Yuexi walked in, staring wide-eyed, examining these three swords thoroughly.

"This is... uh... with cold light exposed, immortal charm flowing, but the material is fragile, the patterns lavish but less practical. It looks like a Sequence Six Immortal Artifact.

"But in essence, only Sequence Eight.

"A showpiece, a display for deceiving others.

"In this maze, many treasuries are probably decoys, merely to slow down others from reaching the correct location."
