Chapter 262: Chapter 132: The Heroic Sakura Association Schemes to Protect Shuangrui, Masterfully Laying an Inescapable Net (Part 4)

A black veil covered her face, revealing only a pair of bright and cunning eyes, flashing with a vigilant icy light in the darkness. Those eyes were like cold stars twinkling in the night sky, full of shrewdness and calculation.

Soon, she arrived at a secretive valley.

In the valley, a group of people dressed in dark blue tight-fitting clothes had been waiting for a long time. The black bat patterns embroidered on their clothes appeared particularly sinister and terrifying under the hazy and eerie moonlight, as if they could take flight at any moment, bringing endless fear.

These people were members of the Shadow Alliance. They stood tall and imposing like pine trees, with expressions as cold as frost. A terrifying aura of killing intent surrounded them, as if they were messengers from Hell, bringing darkness wherever they went.

Liu Tingting saw the group and nodded slightly—a gesture both elegant and slightly arrogant—then quickly walked towards the leading man. The man was tall and burly, like a towering mountain, with a stern and rigid face like a cold stone, exuding an innate, undeniable authority, as if he were the ruler of this dark world.

He was the Vice Alliance Leader of the Shadow Alliance, Dark Night Owl.

”Liu Tingting, you’re not exactly early,” Dark Night Owl’s voice was deep and hoarse, like sandpaper scraping, piercingly loud in the silence that was close to dead silence in the valley, causing the branches to rustle with startled movement, and even the surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly at his voice.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, slightly raised his head, looking down at Liu Tingting, with eyes that seemed to be scrutinizing a subordinate who had made a mistake.

Inside, Liu Tingting’s heart gave a slight jolt, but her face broke into a gentle smile, her laughter echoing in the night air, carrying a hint of allure and defiance, as if declaring her confidence to Dark Night Owl.

She instinctively smoothed the hair blown by the mountain wind behind her ear, thinking secretly, ”This Dark Night Owl is still so troublesome to deal with. I must handle this carefully. I have to prove myself in front of him, I can’t let him underestimate me. When I obtain the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, and become a powerful figure in the Immortal Realm, he too will have to bow to me.” Then she said, ”Vice Alliance Leader, you already know, it’s not easy to slip away from Shi Feiyang and his bunch. However, I haven’t missed a single task. My goal has never changed, I will use the power of the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird to become an influential and powerful Immortal in the Immortal Realm. By then, our Shadow Alliance will be invincible in the Immortal Realm.”

At this time, a gust of mountain wind howled past, blowing the surrounding dead branches to creak, as if playing a strange rhythm for her words, or cheering for her ambition.

As she spoke, she spread her hands, making a show of helplessness, but her eyes glinted with firm resolve.

Dark Night Owl frowned slightly, his tightly furrowed brows seemed capable of crushing a fly, as he took a step forward, his shadow under the moonlight looming over Liu Tingting, like a mountain pressing down upon her.

The mist surrounding them grew thicker, as if forming a natural barrier, isolating them from the outside world, making the valley seem even more mysterious and oppressive. Dark Night Owl extended a finger—it was like a cold iron rod—pointing at Liu Tingting, and said coldly, ”Hmph, I hope so. You claim the progress is smooth, yet we still don’t have the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird in our hands. How am I supposed to trust you? How many Immortal Cultivation Divine Pills have you taken from our Shadow Alliance? Aren’t you grateful?”

Liu Tingting was angry inside but remained calm on the surface, silently cursing, ”This old bastard, how dare he doubt me! When I succeed, the first one I’ll deal with is you.” But she remained unruffled, meeting Dark Night Owl’s gaze with confidence in her eyes, as if she could see through all difficulties.

She stood slightly on tiptoe, straightening her back, meeting Dark Night Owl’s gaze without backing down, and said, ”Vice Alliance Leader, don’t rush. I’ve been meticulously caring for those two Auspicious Beasts every day lately, and they’ve already relaxed their guard around me. If it weren’t for Shi Feiyang’s meddlesome group, I would have succeeded long ago. But we’re close, just give me a little more time, and I’ll bring them in hand. When I join the Immortal Realm with the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, I will stir up a storm in the Immortal Realm, proving the might of Liu Tingting to everyone.”

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gong Simeng was conversing with Shi Feiyang.

As she listened to Shi Feiyang detailing the plan, her eyes sparkled with delight.

That light was like the most brilliant star in the night sky.

She couldn’t help but clap her hands in applause, her face alight with a brilliant smile, saying, ”Husband, your plan is truly ingenious! I knew you wouldn’t be swayed by that demoness Liu Tingting. Your wisdom is unparalleled. With you here, we can surely uncover Liu Tingting’s plot and foil her plans completely.” As she spoke, she twirled excitedly in place, her dress swirling like a joyful butterfly.

As they talked, a dark night owl landed silently on a branch nearby, like a ghost.

Its feathers were black as ink, blending into the night almost seamlessly with its surroundings, except for a pair of ghostly green-glowing eyes, exuding an eerie aura in the darkness.

Suddenly, the night owl lifted its head and let out a shrill cry, that sound sharp and prolonged, piercing the oppressive night sky almost to the point of suffocation, like a wail from Hell, making one’s heart tremble with fear.
