I hesitated for a moment before shaking out the Soul-Chasing Cord and binding our wrists together.

Xiang Zhennan laughed and waved his hand dismissively, "That's fine! We'll keep each other in check."

Too lazy to argue with Xiang Zhennan, I continued along the central tower.

We walked in silence until we reached the central area before slowing down. I could clearly feel the endless killing intent hidden within the luxurious tower before us.

The further I went, the more intense the killing intent became.

It seemed as if every brick and tile here exuded an aura of slaughter.

Ye Yang walked up from behind and stood shoulder to shoulder with me. "Be careful, there are traps and mazes here."

Ye Yang carefully crouched down and reached out to the ground. As he did, a space opened up in the ground out of nowhere.

Ye Yang instinctively tried to pull back, but Xiang Zhennan suddenly pushed him from behind, shoving him into the opening.

As I watched Ye Yang fall, I lunged forward, reaching for the back of his clothes.

Before I could touch Ye Yang's clothes, Xiang Zhennan suddenly flung his left arm outwards, sending the Soul-Chasing Cord, along with his severed arm, towards me.

Struck by the force of the severed arm, I plunged into the mysterious space along with Ye Yang.

Black Night Owl, enraged, struck at Xiang Zhennan with a palm strike, but the latter reached out from the sleeve of the severed arm and exchanged three blows with Black Night Owl. "Xiang Kai, Bu Youming, are you not going to act?"

Xiang Kai and Bu Youming stood there dumbfounded.

Old Liu flew forward to block Black Night Owl, who was trying to pursue Xiang Zhennan. "Come with me! We can't linger."

"You..." Black Night Owl was cut off by Old Liu, who pulled him off course.

Old Liu said urgently, "Let's go! If we get trapped here too, no one will save our lord. Let's go!"

Black Night Owl stamped his foot and, taking Old Liu with him, disappeared into the towers of the central region, roaring before he left, "You just wait, as long as there's one member of Liangjie Hall left, we'll fight you to the death!"

Xiang Zhennan turned to look at Bu Ting and smiled. The latter gave him a thumbs up. "Well done. Now, is it our turn?"

Xiang Zhennan nodded slightly. "Who's going to say it?"

Bu Ting hesitated before saying, "I will!"

Xiang Kai said anxiously, "What are you talking about?"

"We're fulfilling the mission of the Right Four Guards!" As Bu Ting looked at Xiang Kai, Yan Junyi and Xia Xiaotian simultaneously fell to the ground.

Yan Junyi said sharply, "You poisoned us!"

Bu Youming glared at Bu Ting. "What do you want to do?"

Bu Ting said slowly, "The Emperor is about to return. The Emperor and the Greed Wolf must be together, so the Greed Wolf can only be one of us."

"Although Ye Qianyang is sworn brothers with the Emperor, Ye Yang is not Ye Qianyang. He only obeys Li Po. Such a person can only create hidden dangers if he stays by the Emperor's side."

"All four of you have the Greed Wolf fate."

"It's just that Ye Yang's Greed Wolf star fate has already formed. With his suppression, your Greed Wolf fates won't appear. Otherwise, you should have already determined a winner when you were in the Great Dream Village."

"Think carefully, couldn't the conflicts between you have been avoided when you were in the Great Dream Village?"

"At that time, the collision of the Greed Wolf fates caused you to clash with Liangjie Hall. Later, because of Ye Yang's suppression of your fates, a battle that was supposed to happen was dissolved."

"When Ye Yang dies, the Greed Wolf star fate will be redistributed, and the situation of the wolves fighting for their lives will reappear. One of you will inevitably become the Greed Wolf."

Bu Ting paused here and said, "Among the four of you, only one can become the Greed Wolf. The others will die a violent death."

"If you were given some time, the four of you would naturally compete to become the Greed Wolf. The others would either die in battle elsewhere, or die at the hands of the Greed Wolf."

"But the Emperor is about to return, and we don't have time to wait any longer."

"So, we can only make a choice for you."

Bu Ting raised his hand and pointed at Yan Junyi and Xia Xiaotian. "Yan Junyi and Xia Xiaotian must die."

"Xiang Kai and Bu Youming can only survive one."

"In a moment, we will kill the two of them first. As for Xiang Kai and Youming, your survival will depend on fate. I have a turntable here. Whoever the pointer points to will have to die."

"Bullshit!" Xiang Kai, enraged, suddenly raised his Life-Stealing Hook, but before his hook could reach its intended position, it clattered to the ground.

Xiang Kai also fell down.

Bu Ting said, "I said I would help you make a choice, so I won't let you disturb the plan."

Xiang Kai roared, "Third Uncle, that's not what you told me!"

Xiang Zhennan said, "I didn't lie to you. The Emperor's return is related to the survival of the art and the lives of the people. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"You didn't reveal the secret of the Emperor's return to Li Po, and you even helped us stop Li Po. That's good, it shows that you have righteousness in your heart."

"But I didn't tell you that the wolves fighting for their lives would have to be staged again. If I did, you wouldn't have come."
