Yun Qingyue's Jade Pendant

The order was given, and everyone scattered in an instant like precision machines.

The five led by Wang Hu were like venomous snakes in the shadows, silently closing in on the entrance.

The two patrolling disciples only felt a chill at their necks before losing consciousness, dragged into the shadows.

The guard atop the watchtower had just sensed that something was wrong when an almost imperceptible flash of black light streaked past, leaving a bloody hole between his brows.

The five worked in seamless coordination, swiftly clearing the entrance before infiltrating the tunnels and eliminating the hidden sentries.

Li Zhen and the others moved like nimble combat engineers, planting runes and formation flags at key points.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen led the remaining eleven elite fighters like a sharp sword, driving straight down the main tunnel into the depths!

They moved with astonishing speed. The occasional Sky Wolf Sect disciple they encountered in the tunnels was cut down by fierce attacks before they could even see who had come.

Lu Chen and his group's sudden intrusion instantly silenced the cavern.

"Enemy attack—!" The scar-faced leader reacted first. With a sharp shout, he grabbed the wolf-toothed club at hand and sprang up.

But in Lu Chen's eyes, his movements were as slow as a snail's.
