Chapter 624: The Only Way Out!
Some of the guard captains thought that Tang Li Xue's information might even be a trap deliberately given by the Eternal Joyous Cult to divert their attention, so they suggested just ignoring it and focusing on what they were doing right now such as putting down the flames, calming down the chaotic situation, and so on.
When Tang Li Xue heard it from Little Loki, she really wanted to curse those guard captains as a bunch of brainless idiots.
They got such shocking information about the mastermind behind this incident, but they immediately decided it was a hoax information without even checking it.
Tang Li Xue instantly determined that the people who thought so should just stop working as guard captains right away since they were really no longer suitable to work as guards with their worrying IQ, and they should just start working as tofu makers so they could suicide with the tofu they made themselves.
Fortunately, there was still another guard captain who might have an IQ equal to H*lmes...
That guard captain took out the Tracing Compa.s.s and easily determined Tang Li Xue's location which was currently in the main residence of City Lord Mansion.
He immediately deduced that Tang Li Xue might be the one who deliberately gave them this information to pit them against the Eternal Joyous Cult's people, and she might want to take the benefit in their fight as the fisherman in the end.
Tang Li Xue's pink lips instantly twitched violently when she heard Little Loki tell her about that part.
'What the h.e.l.l?! There is clearly something wrong with that guard captain, right?! Isn't he too smart for a mere side character... err, I mean as a guard captain?! He should really just start working as a detective as soon as possible instead~! I am sure he will become famous quickly if he becomes a detective!' Tang Li Xue thought in her heart in annoyance.
But no matter what Tang Li Xue's next plan for the future was, those guard captains could no longer sit back and ignore her information if the true culprit of this tragic incident was really the Eternal Joyous Cult's people.
Moreover, those Eternal Joyous Cult's people had already infiltrated deep into the main residence of City Lord Mansion, and they were clearly up to no good!
There was no way that all of those guard captains would let the Eternal Joyous Cult's people freely do whatever they wanted in this City Lord's Mansion!
Those guard captains immediately decided who would storm into the main residence of the City Lord's Mansion right now to find those Eternal Joyous Cult's people and confront them head-on to catch all of them in one fell swoop.
Tang Li Xue's smile bloomed beautifully after hearing the final decision of those guard captains while muttering victoriously: "That is right~! No matter what I had planned, you still must make your moves to catch the culprit behind the tragic incident~!"
Tang Li Xue stared at the hidden pa.s.sage with a satisfied smile on her stunningly beautiful face and mumbled: "Now I can only hope those Eternal Joyous Cult's people will get all the City Lord's precious treasures smoothly, so I can gladly accept it from them later."
.....
Contrary to Tang Li Xue's expectations, the Eternal Joyous Cult's people and the amber-colored fox were currently facing a completely unfavorable situation!
The people from the Eternal Joyous Cult started to fall one by one under the continuously fierce siege of hundreds of unbreakable stone statues!
The eyes of Eternal Joyous Cult's leader turned crimson in extreme rage when he saw his subordinates get slaughtered one by one.
The Eternal Joyous Cult's leader shouted out loud with a hoa.r.s.e voice: "How dare mere stone statues like all of you block my way and kill my people?! Begone~!"
The Eternal Joyous Cult's leader finally decided to get serious and summoned out his martial soul!
ROOOOAAAARRRR~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
A giant black King Kong appeared behind the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader. It roared out loud in rage while beating its own chest wildly.
The giant black King Kong turned into a black light and merged into the black gauntlet of the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader!
[First Desolation Fist - Prairie Fire]~!
The Eternal Joyous Cult's leader threw a punch at the hundreds of unbreakable stone statues!
As his spiritual Qi spread around from his fist, all of those unbreakable stone statues were broken into the sand at once!
Even the amber-colored fox shuddered in horror when it saw the true might of the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader, while the Eternal Joyous Cult's people yelled vigorously to praise their leader's power.
Unfortunately, their joy only lasted for a few moments before those unbreakable stone statues solidified back from the sand and reverted to normal again in only a few seconds!
The hundreds of unbreakable stone statues swiftly continued their fierce a.s.sault mercilessly!
This time, even the amber-colored fox could no longer protect all of the detained foxes alone from the fierce attacks of those hundreds of unbreakable stone statues!
Among the four detained foxes the amber-colored fox had rescued, one of them was accidentally killed by the unbreakable stone statues!
The amber-colored fox was extremely distressed and frustrated when it saw the detained fox it tried so hard to save and protect had got killed so easily by those unbreakable stone statues.
The amber-colored fox gnashed its fangs in anger and spurted out its vermillion flames toward the unbreakable stone statues.
Meanwhile, the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader had realized that these unbreakable stone statues really could not be destroyed, so he decided to attack the ancient-looking bronze gate which was currently covered with a cage with metal bars.

[Second Desolation Fist - Eternal Drought]~!
BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!
Surprisingly, the ancient-looking bronze gate along with the cage with metal bars still remained intact, but the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader was thrown off back for dozens of meters until he crashed against many unbreakable stone statues.
The Eternal Joyous Cult's leader immediately stood up again, but his appearance was a bit embarra.s.sed.
He almost spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood, but he quickly gulped it down forcefully again to not get even more ashamed.
"Hey, stupid human~! This situation is not looking good for any of us~! How about you listen to my plan first~!" The amber-colored fox approached the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader and said to him.
The Eternal Joyous Cult's leader frowned unpleasantly and replied coldly: "Say what is your plan?!"
"My flames might be able to melt that gate, but it might take quite some time. I must completely focus on doing it and cannot be distracted at all. So... you know what I mean, right?" The amber-colored fox explained vaguely to the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader while kept attacking the stone statues with its flames to prevent them from getting closer to itself and the detained foxes.
The Eternal Joyous Cult's leader frowned even deeper and muttered in annoyance: "So, you want me to protect those useless burdensome foxes while you try to melt that bronze gate with your flames?!"
The amber-colored fox smiled at the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader and nodded while saying: "That is right~! How about it? If you agree, I will do it right away."
The Eternal Joyous Cult's leader did not immediately agree. He pondered it carefully for a while before gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth in aggravation and shouting with an unwilling tone: "All right~!"
"Okay, but if any one of them dies, I will hold you responsible!" The amber-colored fox replied with a cold tone.
"Humph~! You do not need to worry! How could I become a leader of the Eternal Joyous Cult if I am not a responsible person?!" The Eternal Joyous Cult's leader said as he glared displeasingly at the amber-colored fox.
The amber-colored fox was still skeptical of the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader, but it did not have any other choice than to trust him for now in order to get out of this predicament as soon as possible.
Both Eternal Joyous Cult's leader and amber-colored fox did not waste any more time and immediately did their respective task!
Eternal Joyous Cult's leader hastily ordered his subordinates to surround the detained foxes and protect them from the stone statues' fierce attacks!
Meanwhile, the Eternal Joyous Cult's leader also fiercely swung both of his fists around to destroy all of the stone statues that approached the amber-colored fox!
The amber-colored fox spurted out its vermillion flames toward the ancient-looking bronze gate covered with a cage with metal bars.
Unfortunately, the ancient-looking bronze gate was actually much tougher than the amber-colored fox had expected, and its vermillion flames could barely affect the ancient-looking bronze gate.
At this rate, the amber-colored fox might need a few days or even a week to completely melt the ancient-looking bronze gate with its vermillion flames.
The amber-colored fox's expression turned solemn in an instant.
Since it knew that it could not melt the entire ancient-looking bronze gate with its vermillion flames, it decided to cut the bronze gate instead!
The amber-colored fox carefully controlled its vermillion flames until it became a compressed fire beam!
The amber-colored fox started to cut the entire ancient-looking bronze gate and the cage with metal bars using its compressed fire beam like a welding machine!
It slowly cut from the bottom left corner to the upper left corner and moved to the upper right corner.
The amber-colored fox's energy consumption was too rapid, and to be honest, it started to regret its own plan.
But it was already too late to regret it right now, so it could only try to cut the ancient-looking bronze gate along with the cage with metal bars as soon as possible to save more of its energy.
