I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 766 - 290: Take a Gamble and Die Knowing Why (5k)_2

The difference is, one goes in with a blink of an eye, but the other, even with the right path, has to walk for several minutes.

As they walked, the young Demon Fox in front suddenly sped up, slipped behind a tree, and disappeared without a trace.

The group stopped, and the Fourth Great-Uncle Master recalibrated their direction according to the guiding token.

Wen Yan let out a mocking laugh.

"That's so basic—even if you're guilty, you don't have to act this brainless, do you?"

The two Taoist priests who came to hold the ground both darkened their faces.

Originally, they were here to hold the ground, and actually, they also hoped things wouldn't spiral out of control.

But who'd have thought, just during the process of entering, these Fox Demons dared to outright ignore them, dumping them in the middle of the path, obviously wanting them to get lost here.

Even the two of them were being prepared for elimination.

"After all, they're still demons—incorrigible, imitating humans a little but failing miserably at most," Li Qixue said, face grim.

No matter how brainless, they shouldn't attack people who come openly for a visit.

If the people from the three sects can't return today, tomorrow the White Fox Clan Territory will be razed to the ground.

That so-called guidance, those tokens, are only for normal circumstances. If push comes to shove, there are plenty of ways to find the right path.

It's just that unless it comes to all-out war, no one will use those methods. Everyone tacitly agrees to this.

If anyone thinks a path like this is invincible as a defense, they're hopelessly naïve.

Especially these days, with new Professionals appearing all the time, who knows what strange abilities might show up.

Take Wen Yan, for example—once he's been here, he can guarantee that next time he won't need any guidance at all.

"Let's go." The Fourth Great-Uncle Master only glanced left and right, locked onto the direction, and led everyone onwards in large strides.

After three minutes, just as they exited the woods, the change in aura became immediately apparent.

The temperature outside had long dropped below zero, yet here, the greenery thrived, and in the distance a snow-capped mountain stood tall.

The melting snow from that mountain became a small river, flowing past in front of them.

Ahead was a flat grassland, where an old man with a cane stood quietly, surrounded by a group of Fox Demons.

Countless Demons gathered, demonic aura swirling like wisps of smoke, coiling above their heads.

Seeing this scene, Wen Yan stepped forward from the crowd.

"Fourth Great-Uncle Master, let me handle this."

"Don't go soft," the Fourth Great-Uncle Master instructed.

"Don't kill them all," the Seventh Great-Uncle Master whispered softly to Wen Yan as he passed by.

Wen Yan nodded.

He stepped forward, scanned the group, at first intending to be a bit polite and only kill a few White Foxes.

Now he didn't want to pretend anymore.

"My name is Wen Yan. Some of you should know me. After all, if you want to track me down, lure me out, you must know what I look like.

Whether you went to the Guard Detention Center to break the prison, or attacked the Scorching Sun Department's base in the Qinling Mountains, or tried to enter that fissure—

I don't really care. After all, that's the Scorching Sun Department's headache, not mine.

But when you send people to my home and kidnap children, you've crossed the line.

I came today, intending to reason things out peacefully.

But clearly, some among you don't want reason, and are trying to use this entrance to trap and slaughter us all.

Daring to plot against the seniors from Fuyu Mountain, Mount Qingcheng, and Wudang Mountain.

I suppose there's some bigger secret you're trying to keep hidden.

I don't want to guess anymore.

I'll make my conditions. Whether you accept is up to you." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Wen Yan looked around, seeing quite a few White Foxes' expressions change. Clearly, most of them had little objection to what Wen Yan had just said.

"The rest, I don't care about. Every Fox Demon involved in kidnapping kids from my home—

And those who tried to use the passage just now to trap us all inside—

Step forward and take your own life, and it'll end here.

I won't pursue it further.

Nor will the seniors pursue it further.

You have ten seconds to consider."

As soon as Wen Yan finished, a bunch of Fox Demons immediately grew eager to speak.

The Old Fox Demon in front thumped his cane, fixing Wen Yan with a cold glare.

"You're just a brat. When is it your place to speak?"

The elders who came to support Wen Yan stood silent behind him—their stillness announced their stance.

Wen Yan raised his fingers.

"Ten."

"Nine."

"Eight."

He began counting down, while in the distance, more Fox Demons sped towards them.

"Stop!"

A giant fox, all fours on the ground, easily taller than a man, came charging furiously.

Wen Yan didn't pay attention, just kept counting.

When he reached the last second and still no Fox Demon stepped forward, Wen Yan nodded.

"Alright, since that's the case, I gave you the chance. If you won't seize it, then you can't blame me."

Wen Yan took out a white jade shaped like a tongue, blessed it with Explosive Great Sun, and tossed it to the ground.

In an instant, the village opera stage domain he had picked up earlier erupted at Wen Yan's feet.

Vast rushing Yang Energy swept out, instantly encompassing everyone present and dragging them into the domain.

Inside the domain, it was originally pitch dark, but now, blazing sunshine reigned, surging Yang Energy flowing like waves across the sky.

Wen Yan stood on the opera stage, looking at the many Fox Demons below.

"If you want to get out, you can only start by stepping onto this stage."
