The air froze as the group exchanged glances, the ragged gasps of the newcomer cutting through the tension.

"Who the hell are you?" Lu Feng broke the silence, his lips twitching. "You look like a spy sent by Old Wang next door."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoo90DvcJx
The man waved frantically, terror etched on his face. "No time! Run! The Bloodfiend Sect—they’re coming! They’ve gone mad!"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsGKAR2gKf
*Bloodfiend Sect.*
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFPdYC0og5
Lu Feng’s pupils constricted. Memories of black-clad assassins flooded back. No wonder this face felt familiar—they’d crossed paths before.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0iVSwxZSt
"You’re one of *them*?" Tuck rumbled, his greatsword twitching as if eager to cleave the man in two.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRqQmKbwFs
The stranger shook his head desperately. "No! I *was*—but I defected! They’re monsters, slaughtering without blinking!"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqcB6gHeJi
"Defected?" Lu Feng’s frown deepened. Enemy turncoats with sob stories weren’t exactly rare these days.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEHPG4rmco
Ayla tugged Lu Feng’s sleeve. "Be careful. This could be a trap."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwo0lVFPgV
Lu Feng nodded, studying the man’s face. All he saw was raw fear and sincerity.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSFwmmsKhO
"Name. Reason for betraying them. Why come to us?" Lu Feng’s tone sharpened.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyANm2YbxNX
The man inhaled deeply. "Ares. I couldn’t stomach their cruelty—killing innocents, sacrificing villages. I heard you’re fighting them. I want in."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4x30V45x6
Silence hung heavy.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPRwkXTW4g
Lu Feng’s mind raced. Trusting a former enemy was risky, but they desperately needed intel. *Fortune favors the bold.*
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCwyUBxunW
"Prove it," Lu Feng said coldly. "What’s the Bloodfiend Sect planning? Why target me? What’s Grunn’s role?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQKRgUdqii
Ares spilled everything: The Bloodfiend Sect’s ancient roots, Grunn as their pawn in the mortal realm, their obsession with Lu Feng’s mysterious power. "They’re opening portals between realms to plunder resources. Their endgame? World domination."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBvhU6fhGF
The weight of the revelation pressed down. What Lu Feng had assumed was personal targeting turned out to be apocalyptic ambition.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9CWcLc2ox
"We stop them," Lu Feng declared. "Ares—ideas?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmzmjFCEZy
"Their supply depot near Dusk Citadel," Ares said urgently. "Destroy it, cripple their forces. I know the location."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaJbsdOOdS
The plan unfolded rapidly. Raphael mapped strategies while Ayla reinforced moonlit barriers. Under the Shadowfang Cat’s invisibility cloak, the strike team infiltrated the fortress-like depot—a maze of traps guarded by hulking brutes.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJESMA5Pw8L
Ares guided them through secret paths, his knowledge precise. They reached the central courtyard where crates of cursed weapons gleamed under torchlight.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOhpKjqELE
"Now," Lu Feng whispered.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VEAC78rGN
Chaos erupted. Tuck charged like a berserker, greatsword cleaving through armor. Ares’ arrows found throats and eyes with lethal precision. Lu Feng danced through enemies, blade flashing.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUWrgKzk3J
They’d cleared half the courtyard when the air turned frigid. A black-robed elder materialized, eyes burning with malice. "Insects dare challenge the Bloodfiend Sect?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR9yrNy1lt
The elder’s dark energy lashed out, coiling around Lu Feng like living chains. Just as death descended, Ares threw himself in the path—taking the blow meant for Lu Feng.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqMtHzv8cw
"Ares!" Lu Feng caught the falling archer, blood staining his hands.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8yOadR1qk
"Go…" Ares choked. "He’s…a Bloodfiend Elder…"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66J9rNCNUU
"Not without you!" Lu Feng roared.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kWMnMjuw7
The battle turned desperate. Even with Ayla’s moonlight weakening the elder’s power, the trio barely held ground. When all seemed lost, Ayla unleashed a blinding lunar burst—the elder staggered, defenses crumbling.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeE95uiPTS
Lu Feng’s final thrust pierced the elder’s heart. "We…won’t…be…last…" the elder gurgled before collapsing.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndCppm5T5M
Panting, Lu Feng retrieved the elder’s spatial ring. "We live to fight another—"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hEOsl5qMJ
A dagger hissed through the air. Ayla tackled Lu Feng as a black-clad figure materialized. "The Bloodfiend Sect never forgets!" The assassin crushed a smoke pellet, vanishing into shadows.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTYu2kJVez
"Damn it!" Lu Feng slammed his fist into dirt.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi20snXidzm
Ares coughed weakly, pointing northwest. "Misty Forest…unicorn tribe…next target…three days…"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXKamMCwtg
The pieces clicked. Saving the unicorns could turn the tide—and forge a powerful alliance.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG17yiQamr
"Rest," Lu Feng ordered. "We move at dawn."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvcIomfaKR
As camp settled, a frost-tinged voice cut through the night: "Their schemes are filthier than you imagine."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIBgqdsdrM
A lean figure emerged—bow across back, eyes glacial. "Name’s Ares. Former Bloodfiend hunter. They took…everything." His voice cracked recounting his family’s sacrifice.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU2XFn6cn3
When he revealed the unicorn tribe’s peril, Ayla paled. The mystical creatures were her people’s ancient allies.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV0knvh4G9
"Prove your worth," Lu Feng demanded.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPeXgK1FVz
Ares tossed a black token reeking of blood magic—genuine Bloodfiend insignia. "They harvest unicorn spirits for blood puppets. Stop them, or the forest dies."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KlOkabkVF
Lu Feng’s grin turned feral. A turncoat with insider knowledge? This changed everything.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJqBOnLxpf
"Welcome to Dusk Citadel," Lu Feng clasped Ares’ arm. "Let’s give the Bloodfiends a *hell* of a surprise."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaAcI6SPrG
The Shadowfang Cat purred agreement, tail flicking like a war banner. Somewhere in the Third Realm, destiny shifted its gaze—and smiled.
