"The Kuimu Wolf of the past was a collector's item I desired. The Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade in your hand is also a collector's item I've yearned for."

"So, please become part of my collection."

Saturday brought his hands together and bowed to Ye Bai.

Countless clay-made Pet Beasts howled and rushed in, surrounding Ye Bai in the blink of an eye.

"There's nowhere left for you to dodge, even the previous Kuimu Wolf had no chance of escaping under such a siege of Pet Beasts."

"You're doomed!"

The old man's eyes revealed a maniacal glint.

With a thought, the Pet Beasts merged into a giant piece of clay, sealing Ye Bai inside.

"Haha, suffer the suffocating pain within the clay."

"Then I will turn you into a clay puppet, specifically for dealing with the Twenty-Eight Constellations."

"I do love witnessing the comedy of compatriots slaughtering each other."

At this moment, the old man's hands suddenly broke off, falling onto the back of his flying beast with a thud.

A large amount of blood gushed from his severed arms.

"Here's an example of a villain dying from talking too much."

Ye Bai's voice came from behind.

"My Heaven-Swallowing Pelican is skilled at spatial transfer."

"You're quite overconfident indeed."

"I transferred out long before the clay could close in."

Ye Bai found the Seven Stars to be somewhat overrated.

The old man grinned bizarrely.

"As expected of Kuimu Wolf, indeed hard to deal with. But can you discern whether the me before you is the real me?"

The flow of blood gradually slowed, and the old man showed a frenzied expression.

However, Ye Bai soon felt something was off because the old man was too calm, and there was no smell of blood from the blood.

"Your clay puppets can deceive so well?"

"Then where has your true body hidden?"

Ye Bai used the Eye of Truth and found that the realistic figure in front of him was actually made of clay.

"The true body slipped away long ago. I made this clone as the clay was closing in."

"Kuimu Wolf, I have other important matters to attend to."

"Just wash your neck clean and wait for my return."

"Our Seven Stars' scheme is larger than you'd imagine."

"Moreover, do you really think I didn't notice that Mechanical Wood?"

"Actually, I deliberately lured you out."

"My real body is heading to the venue at this moment."

"You hold him at any cost, even if you all have to sacrifice everything to keep him here."

"If necessary, you can self-destruct your soul core to hold them here."

The previously vanished clay Pet Beasts appeared again, surrounding Ye Bai once more.

At this moment, a janitor outside the arena suddenly staggered.

When he regained his senses, his eyes had turned into a strange earthy yellow.

"It's time, let's prepare for action."

The janitor just raised his head and saw Ye Bai waving at him nearby.

Ye Bai's mouth curved into a smile, yet it sent chills down his spine.

"Should I call you Han Zhuang, or Saturday?"

"I didn't expect your public identity to be an over fifty-year-old solitary old man, yet in reality, you are Saturday of the Seven Stars, feared throughout the underworld!"

"What exactly are you plotting by lurking in the Flame Country?"

"If you're willing to tell me, I promise to leave you an intact corpse."

Ye Bai waved both hands fiercely, and seven Myriad Dragon Slashes appeared beside Saturday.

They sealed off Saturday's escape routes from all directions, and any slight movement would cause him to be pierced by the swift-moving swords.

"Haha."

Saturday laughed heartily.

"As expected of Kuimu Wolf, you saw through my painstakingly laid out plans."

"It's been a long time since I've met someone this interesting."

"If I weren't pressed for time, I'd honestly like to spar with you, but now I have to achieve a quick victory to complete the leader's task."

"Such a pity, I didn't bring over the clay army stationed in the cemetery, but handling you alone is more than sufficient."

Multiple giant-tooth sharks made of clay suddenly emerged at Saturday's feet.

They opened their bloody maws, lunging towards where Ye Bai stood.

Meanwhile, Saturday rode on the back of one of the giant-tooth sharks and rapidly retreated in another direction.

At this moment, a black flame suddenly shot out from the shadow of a giant-tooth shark.

As it touched the clay, it spread wide.

Saturday's back sprouted wings made of clay as he watched, wary, as the giant-tooth shark was baked into ceramics by the intense heat.

The giant-tooth shark was burnt red by the fierce flames, emitting thick black smoke all over.

Despite its desperate wails, it was futile.

In just a moment, the giant-tooth shark was baked into countless fragments and vanished.

Saturday could feel the soul of the giant-tooth shark had been snatched by the black flame.

"As expected, your clay is afraid of high temperatures. Under scorching heat, clay is as fragile as glass."

"With just a gentle strike, it crumbles completely."

"And the soul hidden within the clay will be devoured by Hellfire."

"Saturday, this is your flaw."

"You're strong, but when something that can counter you is found, your strength is vastly diminished."

Waves of black flame emerged from the shadows, lunging towards the clay-made giant-tooth shark, aiming to trap Saturday as well.

Saturday showed a particularly irritable, slightly annoyed expression.

His ploy had been seen through.

Moreover, he was restrained by Ye Bai's Pet Beast, evoking a sense of dread in Saturday.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Saturday appeared very angry.

Having his plan discovered, to prevent being captured by Ye Bai.

Saturday directly landed on the ground, his body dissolving like mud.

As he departed, he threw out a few harsh words.

"Kuimu Wolf, the next time we meet, it will be your end."

"I won't let you off easily."

"You've disrupted the Seven Stars' plan, we won't let you go."

Saturday spat out his words and vanished without a trace.

At this moment, Ghost Golden Sheep and Jing Muxie came over.

"Ye Bai, what happened here? Why is there so much clay?"

Ye Bai recalled the Hell Nether Wolf.

"I just encountered Saturday and had a skirmish with him."

"Saturday's strength is quite formidable, more than I expected. He excels at manipulating clay to attack enemies."

"His true name is Han Zhuang, and we can use this as a clue to continue our investigation."

"See if we can uncover the names of other Seven Stars members."

Ye Bai's words made Ghost Golden Sheep and Jing Muxie furrow their brows.

They had never noticed anything unusual, only sensing intense battle, which led them to rush over.

"We've been investigating for over ten years without discovering the true identities of the Seven Stars."

"Kuimu Wolf, you just encountered him briefly and unraveled the identity of Saturday. Impressive."

"But we can be sure, the Seven Stars will definitely strike the Young Qilin Cup, kidnapping the participants."

"They seem to have colluded with the Spirit Saint and the Necromancer."

"Seven Stars, Resurrection Association, and the Evangelical Association must have formed some undisclosed pact."

"Since we've discovered the Seven Stars are in action, should we halt this edition of the Young Qilin Cup to avoid any accidents?"

Ghost Golden Sheep proposed a suggestion.

"No, we can't stop the Young Qilin Cup; we need to continue with it."

"Stopping it would disgrace Flame Country, and it's not the most difficult time yet. With just our three forces, we can still thwart the Seven Stars."

"What I'm truly worried about is Celestial Center City."

"The blood-red mist there lingers, once a haunt for demons."

"I'm concerned there might be issues arising there."

"Even more worried the Necromancer will summon the souls of the deceased there."
