To avoid being surrounded, the five people retreated to a wall, with their backs against it.

Gradually, a woman emerged from the alley.

The woman seemed familiar from somewhere.

After some thinking, he finally remembered.

The woman is with the Lord of Skull Fortress!

"Luo Yang, our boss wants to see you," the woman said.

Going to see the Lord of Skull Fortress, I’m afraid I won’t come back alive.

Luo Yang said, "I’ll visit him in person when I have time."

The others didn’t understand their conversation.

Who can guarantee there won’t be trouble after meeting the Lord of Skull Fortress?

The Boss and Second-in-command of Skull Fortress are extremely dissatisfied with Luo Yang, likely wanting to kill him.

The woman said coldly, "If you don’t come, what will happen to your family?"

Hearing this, Luo Yang became furious.

He’s able to accept being targeted himself; but if his family is involved, he’ll get angry.

But getting angry is useless, Skull Fortress is so ruthless, whatever they say might actually happen.

Luo Yang held back his rage, thinking it’s better to talk with the Lord of Skull Fortress. They probably just want the Blood Devil; agreeing to help find it should be enough.

Moreover, the enmity with Eight Immortals Hall is becoming more obvious now. Without some allies, it might be hard to deal with.

After all, Eight Immortals Hall is not easy to deal with either.

After some thinking, Luo Yang said, "I’ll go with you."

Then he turned to Hong Jiaxin and said, "You all head back first, I’ll catch up with you later."

Hong Jiaxin worriedly said, "We’ll go with you."

Skull Fortress people probably wouldn’t agree.

Skull Fortress is enemies with the Ten Great Alliances; Aunt Thirteen, Xiao Xiao Niu, and Zhang Jing are all from the alliance.

"No need, you all go ahead. I’ll catch up. Don’t worry about me," Luo Yang reassured Hong Jiaxin.

"What if the toxin in your body acts up, what then?" Hong Jiaxin asked with concern.

Luckily, the magical pond water from Shennong Scripture worked, otherwise, he’d be doomed.

Though it can’t completely heal, that’s another annoying issue.

Luo Yang confidently said, "No problem. I can hold on."

Aunt Thirteen said lightly, "Be careful."

She was referring to the Demon Soldiers released by Eight Immortals Hall that might want his life.

Aunt Thirteen didn’t know how strong the Demon Soldiers were either.

"Got it, you all get in the car," Luo Yang urged.

The Skull Fortress people definitely didn’t want the Ten Great Alliances people following them, so after Hong Jiaxin and the others left, Luo Yang followed the Skull Fortress people.

Zhang Jing said coldly, "I must follow you!"

Her eyes were red, filled with hatred.

It’s not easy to kill Luo Yang, but Luo Yang smiled and said, "No need to rush for revenge. With your current abilities, you can’t do it. Go with them."

Zhang Jing angrily said, "I want to follow you!"

It’s not that Luo Yang wouldn’t allow it, but Skull Fortress wouldn’t agree.

By then, if the Lord of Skull Fortress wanted to kill Zhang Jing, that would be troublesome.

Luo Yang might not be able to help even if he wanted to, he advised, "Sister Jing, don’t make a fuss. You’re going to a place where others won’t allow you to go. Go ahead. I’m returning to the village anyway. You wait there."

Seeing Luo Yang resolutely refusing to take Zhang Jing along, Hong Jiaxin also advised, "Sister Jing, let’s go."

She moved to pull Zhang Jing into the car.

Zhang Jing gave Luo Yang a cold stare and said slowly, "I won’t let you go!"

Without saying, Luo Yang knew that’s what she thought.

Honestly, Luo Yang didn’t feel guilty, after all, Elder Zhang first wanted him dead.

If he hadn’t struck mercilessly then, no one knew what the consequences would be.

Luo Yang said calmly, "Didn’t I say? I’ll wait for you to kill me. The premise is you must have the ability to do so. Okay, go ahead."

Hua XiYi instructed, "Hehe, you need to be cautious. The enemy is strong."

Smiling, Luo Yang nodded and said, "Sister Hua, please watch over the leader for me."

Hong Jiaxin heard this and pursed her red lips.

Watching as the four beauties got into the car, Luo Yang waved to them.

After the car drove off, Luo Yang said, "Now, where are we going?"

The woman said coldly, "I need to blindfold you and take you somewhere."

Blindfold?

This is a dangerous move.

But Luo Yang knows the Shadow Fist Technique; if the woman wants to attack, unless using Techniques, it’s quite difficult to overpower him with Henglian Kung Fu.

Seeing Luo Yang hesitate silently, the woman coldly added, "Won’t kill you!"

Luo Yang laughed, "Whether they kill me or not doesn’t matter, I’m a dying man anyway."

Upon hearing that, the woman looked at Luo Yang curiously.

No injuries on his body, and he seemed energetic.

She smirked coldly, "In front of our Lord, it’s best not to say such things. If the Lord gets unhappy, you might actually get killed."

The Lord of Skull Fortress and the Second-in-command still needed Luo Yang to treat a strange illness, they might let him live a few more days.

"No need for blindfolding. Let’s go," Luo Yang said.

"No way! You must be blindfolded!" the woman insisted.

Being cautious, Luo Yang had no choice but to close his eyes, waiting for her to blindfold him.

The woman approached, tightly wrapped a cloth around Luo Yang’s eyes and said, "Follow me."

She was ahead, holding his hand.

They walked a bit further, hearing the sound of a car door opening.

Getting into the car, sitting in the backseat.

The car first moved slowly, then sped up for half an hour, seemed the destination was quite far.

The Second-in-command Shui Mei of Skull Fortress could only live in water, estimating the destination might be by the sea or river, or perhaps by a lake.

After about forty minutes, the car finally stopped.

The woman got out first, leading Luo Yang by the hand into the house.

Soon they went down to the basement.

Only then did the woman untie the cloth covering Luo Yang’s eyes.

Luo Yang opened his eyes, the bright lights around made him uncomfortable.

After a few seconds, he was able to see the surroundings clearly.

It’s a long corridor, unclear where it leads.

The Boss and Second-in-command of Skull Fortress disliked sunlight, always living deep underground.

Perhaps it made escape more convenient.

The woman gestured for Luo Yang to continue down the corridor to meet someone.

Luo Yang nodded, walked to the end, pushed open the door, yet another corridor, slightly sloping downward.

After walking a few dozen meters, he suddenly heard the sound of water.

Needless to say, Shui Mei must be nearby.

Indeed, after a few more meters, the space opened up to a larger room with a big pool, likely connected to an underground river.

Shui Mei suddenly emerged annoyed from the water, Luo Yang was startled and quickly greeted, "Elder Sister Shui Mei."

Speaking with Shui Mei, Luo Yang always worried she might suddenly suffocate or drown.

"Why did you betray us?" Shui Mei’s cold voice demanded.

"Elder Sister Shui Mei, how did I betray you? I’m dying anyway. You might not want to know my experiences," Luo Yang sighed, sitting by the pool.

Hesitating a bit, Shui Mei swam over.

Luo Yang worried she might suddenly drag him underwater, which would be tragic.
