The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Since the hunting pack is scattered, who told you that I am still alive? Who sent you here?" Hu Lei asked Modu.

"In our most desperate moments, it was the prophet Mang Gusi of the Lord of Immortality who showed us the way out of this maze. With her guidance, we gradually began to see hope," Modu said quickly.

"'Prophet Manggus'...what does she want to do?" Hu Lei's tone became much more serious."

"But Modu still hadn't noticed it yet, and still said respectfully:"

"This prophet prophesied: The Buli people have been divided for too long. Only your return can unite all the hunting packs and restore their former glory! Only now do we know you are still alive... It must be the manifestation of the Immortal Lord!"

"The prophet told us that Yaoqing's fox general would take you away during the Luofu Martial Arts Ceremony. This was the perfect opportunity for us to sneak in and free you from your prison—just as she said! And we did it!"

Jiao Qiu shook his head as he listened. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. You've all been deceived by that so-called prophet. She's only sending you here to die."

"But her prophecy came true! The war chief is right here!" Mudu glared at Jiaoqiu, wishing he could tear him to pieces."

But Jiao Qiu said calmly, "Once word of the Prison of Hell spreads, the Cloud Cavalry will block all ports. You thought you had escaped prison, but in reality, you were simply transported to a larger prison called 'Luofu.'"

"Lord Hu Lei, please allow me to kill him, this vile creature stirring up trouble! I assure you that the Star Raft will arrive soon!"

"Right now, the entire Luofu region is distracted by that foolish martial arts ceremony. This is our perfect opportunity to escape. Once you return to your loyal territory, your revenge on Xianzhou will be just around the corner."

"Modu is furious with Jiaoqiu. Can't this bastard just be a hostage? What's the point of trying to sow discord all day long?"

"'Chance?'" Hu Lei sneered. "Return to a weakened, defeated hunting pack, subject to the manipulation of a ridiculous false prophet, becoming a banner she waved in her hand? Her plan is full of loopholes. The only paths she has prepared for you are 'escape' and 'death.'"

"After being a leader for so many years, doesn't Hu Lei understand his current situation?"

"How could a so-called prophet who dared to plot against him not have some ability? Not to mention defeating him, even if we were only equal in strength... once he returned to the hunting pack, there would be no way he could regain his position!"

"After all, he is the war chief. He saw through Huanlong's thoughts at a glance. He is really clear-headed among humans... No, he is clear-headed among wolves."

Li Bai exclaimed in admiration.

Because he found that he had no reaction at all!

This is very painful.

Could it be that he is only suitable for writing poetry and not for playing such official tricks?

"Seven hundred years have passed. Most of the Bu Li people who were truly loyal to Hu Lei are long gone. They were either killed by Fei Xiao or died from other causes."

"At a time like this, if Hu Leiruo still can't demonstrate his overwhelming power, then he can only serve as a mascot, similar to Liu Xie to Cao Cao."

"More importantly, that prophet is a phantom! He's an envoy of destruction! Hu Lei really can't suppress him!"

"So, what should Hu Lei do next? Let Xianzhou find Jingliu and then fight with Jingliu?"

Li Bai looked at Hu Lei curiously.

I have to admit that this bloodthirsty and cruel Bu Liren... is actually quite charming.

Unconsciously, Li Bai gradually immersed himself in the situation.

"Listen carefully, Wolf will never allow himself to become prey. From now on, you must obey my orders."

Hu Lei stared at Mo Du coldly. The strong sense of oppression made Mo Du immediately lower his head in respect.

Hu Lei then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and looked at Jiao Qiu: "Jiao Qiu, since you said that 'Cloud Cavalry will block the port,' then I will let you go to the port and see for yourself whether Cloud Cavalry is what you thought it was. Tell me the answer to your observations."

"What did you say?" Jiao Qiu was so surprised that he opened his eyes wide.

"Isn't Hu Lei afraid that he will escape?"

""grown ups--! ""

"Modu was about to speak when Hu Lei glared back at him: 'Modu, when have you ever heard of a wolf leader obeying the orders of its cubs?'"

“I’ve never heard of that…” Modu quickly lowered his head, trembling. “I, I didn’t give you any orders. I will absolutely obey your instructions.”

Jiao Qiu was puzzled: "Why don't you send your men? What tricks are you trying to play?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't you want to escape, Jiaoqiu?" Hu Lei's calm expression concealed a strong confidence. "You will come back, because you fox people will always return to your masters... no matter how far you run."

"What exactly is Hu Lei planning?"

Cheng Yaojin really couldn't understand.

Normally he plays dumb, but this time…it’s for real!

Without taking any measures, they simply let Jiao Qiu go? Isn't this clearly giving Jiao Qiu a chance to escape?

"Perhaps... he saw that Jiao Qiu wanted something from him," Changsun Wuji speculated. "Don't forget, Jiao Qiu also wants to make Hu Lei into medicine and give it to Fei Xiao! As long as he has this idea, Jiao Qiu will naturally go back."

"Fuji has a point. Besides, at this stage, it's quite risky for people like Hu Lei to travel. But Jiao Qiu... is completely risk-free. It's a good idea to let him go out and gather information."

"What's more, they're just not taking any measures on the surface, but they're definitely deploying people to monitor us secretly."

Li Shimin felt that a hero like Hu Lei, no matter how confident he appeared on the surface, would definitely do everything well in secret.

Otherwise, if you fail because you didn't do something well, you are not a hero, but a clown.

…………

"Although Hu Lei and his group can hide in the bustling city for now, it's only a matter of time before they're discovered. What's their plan, if they dare to let me go?"

Jiao Qiu frowned, unable to understand Hu Lei's plan.

"Unable to figure it out for a moment, Jiao Qiu followed Hu Lei's words and left the alley directly."

"To his surprise, he got out so easily. Neither Hu Lei nor the other Bu Li people could stop him."

"Hu Lei actually let me go free. What on earth is he playing?" Jiao Qiu murmured softly.

"Maybe he could try to secretly send a warning... No, maybe he could just leave here if he had a chance."

"But the moment this thought arose in my mind, Jiaoqiu felt the cold gaze of a fox man."

"That gaze was too sharp, as if warning Jiao Qiu - any self-righteous thoughts will eventually lead to serious consequences that will be regretted."
