Chapter 1069: Chapter 774: Meeting the Leopard-Fox! (Part 2)

"Ah——!"

Mansa let out a horrific scream, falling from mid-air and crashing into the ground, leaving a deep pit.

The cage lost control, and the light dimmed.

At the same time, a fiery red figure darted out from the shadows, grabbed Xiao Jin by the back of the neck, and swiftly disappeared into the depths of the ruins.

Mansa crawled out of the pit, transformed into human form, his face sullen as he glared in a certain direction, gritting his teeth to spit out two words, "...Divine Fox Clan?!"

"There are still remnants, go after them for me!"

"Kill them!"

...

Xiao Jin was tossed into a concealed cellar, his back hitting the cold stone wall, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Who——!"

He was just about to take action when the person in front of him removed their disguise.

The man’s build became even taller and more graceful, and the ordinary appearance turned exquisite and stunning, fiery red fox ears emerging from his hair, ten fluffy tails spread out behind him, shimmering like a brilliant glow in the dim cellar.

Shen Li said softly, "Stupid leopard, don’t make a move, look at who I am."

Xiao Jin was dumbfounded, "Shen Li?! What are you doing here?"

"I was about to ask you that." Shen Li crouched down, frowning as he inspected his injuries, "Why aren’t you with Xiao Tang’er?"

Xiao Jin opened his mouth, momentarily speechless.

Shen Li’s tone turned cold, "I entrusted her to you, expecting you to protect her well, and here you are, coming here to act crazy?"

Xiao Jin glanced away guiltily, muttering, "I ran into Liu Ye, that damned fish wants to harm Shen Tang, I must catch him!"

Shen Li’s expression slightly changed, "Then what about Xiao Tang? Is she alone?"

"No, Lu Xiao is with her too—" Just as Xiao Jin finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, angrily hitting his head, "Wait, no! Lu Xiao was affected by Return Nest, so he’s not in a great state either!"

Leaving her with Shen Tang, not to mention protecting her, they might even hurt her.

Shen Li’s face completely darkened, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jin hurriedly explained what had happened earlier, feeling increasingly guilty as he spoke, his voice eventually dwindling to a whisper, "I, I acted impulsively at that moment and rushed over, but what should I do now, I can’t even get out."

"You ..." Shen Li took a deep breath, the veins on his forehead throbbing as if he wanted to strip the leopard skin away, "I entrusted her to you, hoping you would protect her well, and you ended up losing her?"

Xiao Jin, for once, didn’t retort, lowering his head, ears drooping.

"What should we do?" For once, Xiao Jin displayed an at-a-loss expression, filled with self-blame and more worry.

If something were to really happen to Tangtang...

He would never forgive himself.

Just as Shen Li was about to say something, he suddenly clutched his heart, his expression changing slightly, "Something’s not right, Xiao Tang has also arrived at the Divine Hall."

"What?" Xiao Jin stood up abruptly, almost hitting the top of the cellar, "Tangtang is here?! How did she get here?!"

"I once gifted her a strand of origin power, and now that she’s here, I can feel it." Shen Li closed his eyes, sensing the direction from which the origin power emanated.

"She’s in the Outer Zone... no, she has already entered the Central District, we need to find a way to meet up with her."

Xiao Jin was so anxious he was spinning in circles, "How to meet up? This place is so large, and the Divine Hall people are everywhere—"

Shen Li glanced at him, his gaze meaningful.

He pointed outside the cellar, "Five kilometers away, there lies the weapon depot of the Divine Hall in the Central District, and there are energy bombs inside."

Xiao Jin froze for a moment, then his golden eyes lit up suddenly!

"You want me to blow it up?"

Shen Li raised an eyebrow, "Can you do it?"

"Leave it to me!" Without a word, Xiao Jin dashed out.

Shen Li watched his retreating figure, smiling wryly.

This leopard, causing trouble is what he’s best at.

A few minutes later.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion erupted from the direction of the weapon depot, fiery red flames shooting skyward, shaking the very earth. The shockwave from the explosion sent tremors that could be felt several streets away.

Shen Li stood at the mouth of the cellar, watching the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, his mouth twitching.

...He asked Xiao Jin to ignite a bomb, not to take down the entire weapon depot.

Shen Tang and Lu Xiao had just sneaked into the teleportation channel of the Central District when the explosion’s thunderous bang left their ears ringing.

The ground underfoot trembled, and dust rained down from the rock walls above. The guards in the channel were in chaos, some shouting "The weapon depot exploded," others shouting "There are intruders," and some shouting "Quickly report to the Holy Seat."

Shen Tang steadied herself, looking up in the direction of the explosion.

That violent thunder energy, she was all too familiar with it.
