177: Chapter 177 Invading Silvermoon Valley

"Pr-Princess Your Highness, why have you returned? Quick, while the Grand Elder and the others haven't noticed you yet, hurry and leave!"

One of the Silver Moon Fox Demon Venerables' expression changed drastically, and she anxiously transmitted her voice.

"Ji Lingyue? And Ji Yinshuang, Ji Mingyue, you traitors dare to return? Come with me to confess your crimes to the Clan Chief."

After the other Silver Moon Fox Demon Venerable regained her senses, a glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes. She shouted sternly, her 4-Star Demon Venerable Aura erupting suddenly, and her figure flashed, instantly reaching out to grab Ji Lingyue.

This was an Earth Rank Spirit Medicine!

The Clan Chief had said that whoever could find Ji Lingyue's tracks and bring her back, dead or alive, would be rewarded with an Earth Rank Spirit Medicine.

Now that Ji Lingyue had delivered herself to their doorstep, how could she not be excited?

"Ji Rushuang, you, sigh..."

The Fox Venerable who had transmitted the warning to Ji Lingyue hesitated when she saw this scene. She wanted to intervene but ultimately gave up. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Currently, the Silver Moon Fox Clan was under the Grand Elder's control, and she was ruthless. If she helped Ji Lingyue, she would not be able to escape death in the end.

Being able to send a warning was already doing as much as she could.

"Hmph, get lost!"

Just as Ji Rushuang's hand was about to grab Ji Lingyue's throat, Han Ming let out a cold snort.

Instantly, it felt as if a spring thunderclap had exploded in Ji Rushuang's Sea of Consciousness.

With a "pfft" sound, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body instantly flew backward.

She slammed heavily into the valley's defensive Formation, slid down, and slumped onto the ground, her face deathly pale.

"Seven... Seven-Tailed Silver Fox, a Demon Saint powerhouse?"

At this moment, the Silver Moon Demon Venerable who had started to warn Ji Lingyue finally noticed Han Ming's presence and revealed an expression of disbelief.

In the entire Silver Moon Fox Clan, the last Seven-Tailed one was the Clan Chief who had been murdered by the Grand Elder!

The young man before her had a terrifyingly high Bloodline purity, even purer than the previous Clan Chief!

"You... who exactly are you?"

Ji Rushuang, slumped on the ground, looked at the seven fox tails behind Han Ming, her eyes filled with shock as she asked in a trembling voice.

Males in the Silver Moon Fox Clan were already rare, and a male with seven tails existed only in legends.

Moreover, the Aura emanating from this young man just now was clearly that of a Demon Saint powerhouse; she didn't even have a chance to resist.

Han Ming did not answer and walked toward the Formation entrance of Silver Moon Valley with Ji Lingyue and the others.

"My Lord, you should quickly take Her Highness the Princess and leave! Although you are also a Demon Saint, the Grand Elder has already achieved a Breakthrough to a Nine-Star Demon Saint. Once she discovers you, it will be too late to leave."

The Demon Venerable who had transmitted the voice earlier reacted and hurriedly transmitted her voice to Han Ming.

Han Ming glanced at her in surprise; it seemed not everyone in the Silver Moon Fox Clan was on the Grand Elder's side now!

However, he didn't speak and continued walking toward the Formation entrance.

"Don't worry! Aunt Mei, Young Master is very powerful."

Ji Lingyue saw the woman's worry, stepped forward, and whispered to comfort her.

The fact that Ji Rumei was able to transmit a warning to her earlier showed that she was still on her side.

At this moment, Han Ming had already arrived in front of the valley entrance's Formation. Without any visible movement from him, the Formation automatically opened an aperture, and he walked straight in.

"How is this possible?"

Ji Rumei and the severely injured Ji Rushuang opened their mouths in shock.

This was the Clan-Protecting Formation capable of blocking a Peak Demon Saint; how did this man walk in so easily without any control method?

Ji Lingyue, Ji Yinshuang, and the others also followed him inside.

The moment Han Ming passed through the light curtain, the scene before him suddenly opened up.

The inside of the valley was a world of its own. A space of hundreds of miles had been forcibly carved out by the Formation and the great power of heaven and earth. The mountains were clear, the waters were beautiful, and the Spiritual Qi was dense.

On the distant mountainside, rows of silver-white palaces were arranged in an orderly fashion, with flying eaves and upturned corners, shimmering with a soft luster under the sunlight.

Between the palaces, members of the Silver Moon Fox Clan came and went, some Cultivating, some chatting, in a peaceful atmosphere.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into our Silver Moon Valley?"

Just as Han Ming and the others stepped into the valley, dozens of figures flew out from various palaces, surrounding them tightly.

Leading them were three Demon Saint-level powerhouses, two men and one woman, who looked to be in their thirties. The men were handsome, and the woman was seductive.

Both men possessed the strength of a 3-Star Demon Saint, and that middle-aged beautiful woman was a 5-Star Demon Saint powerhouse.

"Ji Lingyue? And Ji Yinshuang, Ji Mingyue, so it's you traitors; you still dare to return? Very good. Men, take them down and hand them over to the Clan Chief for punishment."

After the 5-Star Demon Saint beautiful woman saw their faces clearly, her eyes lit up, and she shouted sternly.

Instantly, over a dozen Silver Moon Fox Clan powerhouses stepped forward together, and a dozen Domain powers instantly enveloped Han Ming and the others.

More and more Fox Clan members gathered around. Many looked at Ji Lingyue in the center with complex expressions, but none spoke.

"Ji Ruhua, you dare? I am the Princess of the Fox Clan!"

Ji Lingyue stepped forward and shouted at the beautiful woman.

"Hmph, what bullshit Princess. Currently, the Fox Clan's Clan Chief is Tribe Leader, and the Princess is Ji Lingshan. Do it!"

Ji Ruhua snorted coldly and waved her hand, shouting.

She was currently the Fox Clan's Third Elder, and she had played a part in plotting against the old Clan Chief; how could she let Ji Lingyue leave alive?

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so Martial Emperor and Martial Venerable powerhouses did not dare to delay. Their True Intent and Profound Truth transformed into chains, instantly winding toward Ji Lingyue and the others.

"Hmph, seeking death! Do you treat me as if I don't exist?"

Han Ming let out another cold snort. This time he did not hold back. With a "boom," all the chains formed by True Intent and Profound Truth instantly shattered.

At the same time, a dozen figures spat out blood and flew backward, slamming heavily onto the plaza at the entrance, all having lost their lives.

"What? It's actually a Demon Saint powerhouse?"

"And it's a Seven-Tailed Demon Saint of our Silver Moon Fox Clan?"

"Where did Ji Lingyue bring such a powerhouse back from? Why haven't we seen him before?"

Suddenly, a chorus of exclamations erupted, and everyone's gaze turned toward Han Ming.

There was curiosity, shock, and disbelief...

"Brat, a mere 1-Star Demon Saint dares to kill in our Silver Moon Fox Clan? You are seeking death!"

The leading 5-Star Demon Saint woman looked at the dozen or so deceased clansmen, her face grim and terrifying.

These were all the core forces of her lineage!

As she spoke, she raised her right hand, her five fingers slightly curled, and she clawed through the air toward Han Ming. A fox claw condensed from silver-white flames tore through space and grabbed toward Han Ming's heart.

Han Ming did not want to waste words. He pointed a finger, and a golden sword shadow shot out, instantly shattering the fox claw. With its momentum undiminished, it struck straight at Ji Ruhua's head.

"Not good..."

Ji Ruhua's expression changed drastically. An unprecedented threat of death enveloped her, and there was nowhere to escape.

The golden sword shadow was too fast, so fast that her Divine Sense could not capture it at all. She could only watch helplessly as the sword shadow magnified in her pupils.

"Third Elder!"

The two nearby 3-Star Demon Saints' expressions changed greatly. They attacked simultaneously, and the silver-white fox fire wove into a barrier to block in front of Ji Ruhua.

But how could a sword shadow condensed from the Metal Rule be blocked by two 3-Star Demon Saints?

"Boom!"

The barrier instantly shattered, and the two 3-Star Demon Saints were sent flying backward, spitting blood. The golden sword shadow's momentum remained undiminished, striking straight at Ji Ruhua's glabella.

"No—"

Ji Ruhua let out a shrill scream, using all her strength to activate the Rule power within her body. The silver-white Charm Rule transformed into layers of illusions before her.

But how could the sharpness of the Metal Rule be blocked by the Charm Rule?

Just as the sword shadow was about to pierce through Ji Ruhua's skull, a hand reached out from the Void Realm, and two fingers steadily pinched the sword shadow.

"Crack."

The sword shadow shattered between the fingers, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated.

A figure in silver robes walked out from the Void Realm, with delicate but somewhat mean-spirited features, and six silver-white fox tails swaying gently behind her.

The Aura of a Nine-Star Demon Saint pressed down like a physical substance, causing the Silver Moon Fox Clan members present to kneel on the ground one after another.

Tribe Leader.

The current Clan Chief of the Silver Moon Fox Clan, the mastermind who murdered Ji Lingyue's mother.

Ji Ruhua's face was deathly pale, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she slumped onto the ground, gasping for air, looking like someone who had just survived a disaster.

"Tribe Leader!"

Ji Lingyue looked at the figure who had just appeared, her eyes filled with flames of hatred.

It was this woman who, while her mother was in seclusion, colluded with the Black Wind Wolf Clan to launch a sneak attack and personally thrust a long sword into her mother's heart.
