373: Xiao Bai was very smug.

When the aura belonging to a Great Demon descended upon the entire Cold City.

The Cultivators in the city were all startled.

Xie Jingran, who had just moved here, felt this aura and his hair stood on end.

He stood suspended in the air.

“Good heavens, how can Cold City have such a powerful Spirit Beast? It's terrifying!”

Xie Yuheng was beside him, asking, “Father, what's wrong?”

Xie Jingran explained, “Over there, there is an extremely powerful Spirit Beast. Although the aura it emitted wasn't overwhelmingly strong, the pressure from its Bloodline is the greatest I have ever witnessed in my life.

If such a Spirit Beast is not contained, it is bound to become a hidden danger to humanity in the future.”

Xie Yuheng was stunned.

His family's storeroom held too much Spirit Beast essence blood, some of which even possessed special Bloodlines.

But he had never heard his father evaluate a Spirit Beast like this.

What kind of Spirit Beast must this be!

It wasn't just here.

Mount Tian.

The Snow Fox Clan.

The Snow Fox Clan, having just reclaimed their territory, was extremely busy these past few days, as their clan territory had been ruined by the Tiance Military Prefecture and turned into a military garrison.

The Snow Fox Clan had a “cleanliness fetish,” a spiritual one.

Naturally, they were unwilling to live in a place the Tiance Military Prefecture had occupied.

Of course, the most crucial reason was that since their “home” had already been discovered by the Tiance Military Prefecture, they absolutely had to move.

The Snow Fox Clan was not as powerful as the Yaoguang Immortal Palace. This clan, if not for the possibility of a Silver Moon Snow Fox appearing, would only be considered middle-tier among the Spirit Beast Bloodlines in the Xuanhuang Domain.

Although a Silver Moon has appeared now, Silver Moon cannot be here every day.

The little fox cubs need a safe environment to grow up.

They were looking for a home, developing a new one.

These past few days, they had finally found a location, but discovered that the terrain here was not suitable for construction.

Silver Moon frowned, “Grand Elder, why don't we find another place?”

She was very impatient.

Holding the nascent soul breaking pill but unable to cultivate, she felt truly anxious.

Flowing Water and the others were probably already in seclusion.

Only she was falling behind.

The Grand Elder, holding a walking stick and sporting fox ears atop his head, gave a wry smile.

“Clan Chief, our Snow Fox Clan was born in obscurity. We don't possess any special Bloodlines, unlike those Great Demons who are born as high-tier Spirit Beasts.

If we don't find a proper home, won't the Snow Fox Clan be easily manipulated if we are discovered in the future?

Our talented young cubs could be captured, contracted, and driven by humans for their entire lives.”

Silver Moon waved her hand, “Alright, alright, Grand Elder, stop talking.”

Every time he spoke, the Grand Elder would use this to lecture her.

Forget it, let's leave it at that.

Suddenly, Silver Moon felt a powerful pressure.

This pressure actually made her feel the urge to submit.

Silver Moon grit her teeth.

“This is a powerful figure of the Fox Clan, demanding my submission!”

The Grand Elder and the others could barely stand upright anymore.

“Clan Chief, this pressure naturally suppresses our Fox Clan!”

Silver Moon gave a solemn “Mhm.”

Spiritual Qi burst forth, helping the Elders in the clan share the burden of the pressure.

Afterward, Silver Moon said, “You stay here for now, I must go and take a look.”

Having said that, Silver Moon transformed into a snow-white Silver Fox and vanished under the moonlight.

Inside the courtyard.

Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan stood together, looking at Xiaobai.

At this moment, Xiaobai's entire body of white fur was emitting a white luminescence.

Although she was still a small fox, outside her body there was a powerful shadow of a Seven-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

The Heavenly Fox was proud and sacred, its Dao Pattern between its brows favored by the Heavenly Dao.

These were innate spiritual entities!

Extremely powerful!

This Seven-Tailed Heavenly Fox let out a long howl towards the sky. Although no sound was emitted, the sheer pressure made even Jiang Ning's heart tremble.

Shen Jinhuan asked, “Revered Master, Xiaobai is...”

“Don't be afraid, Xiaobai should have succeeded in the Fusion.”

Jiang Ning watched.

Seven tails—this Heavenly Fox had already reached the Integration Realm during its life!

Such a powerful entity was ultimately exploited by humans for its essence blood and sold. If it weren't for the Great Qian, it would truly be impossible to buy such essence blood!

Within the phantom image.

Xiaobai woke up.

Her pair of pale green eyes were full of vitality.

On her forehead appeared a blue Dao Pattern, identical to the Heavenly Fox's.

Her snow-white, fluffy “collar” made Xiaobai look extremely adorable, yet also filled with a sacred aura.

When Xiaobai looked over, Jiang Ning actually felt as if his mind had been seen through.

Xiaobai smiled smugly.

This was the Heavenly Fox's Divine Ability, called the “Ten Thousand Laws True Eye.” As long as she had enough strength, she could even peer into the Heavenly Dao.

Xiaobai looked toward Shen Jinhuan again.

A mass of black aura on Shen Jinhuan's body formed a Demon Venerable. The Demon Venerable had three heads and six arms, holding various weapons like the Vajra Pestle, its faces terrifying with fangs!

The Demon Venerable sensed Xiaobai's gaze. The foremost head split its fanged face and stabbed down with the Vajra Pestle in its hand.

Boom—

Xiaobai's head shook.

Blood tears flowed from her eyes.

She quickly shifted her gaze away.

She cried out, “Huanhuan, Huanhuan! Who exactly are you? My eyes are going blind!”

As the words left her mouth, Xiaobai realized she had only spoken the first half; the second half had been suppressed by Jiang Ning using Spiritual Qi.

Just as Xiaobai was about to ask Jiang Ning the reason in a wronged tone, she heard someone speak.

In the air.

Xie Jingran stood alone. He looked at the courtyard covered by the barrier, cupped his hands, and asked, “Is Brother Jiang present?”

Jiang Ning waved the barrier away.

He stood face-to-face with Xie Jingran.

Xie Jingran smiled and said, “Brother Jiang, in your courtyard...”

“Just practicing cultivation.”

Jiang Ning smiled.

Xie Jingran did not ask further.

That aura just now did not sound like cultivation practice.

But regardless, that pressure gave him confidence.

Xie Jingran assumed the Heavenly Fox aura emitted by Xiaobai was Jiang Ning's “trump card” or “secret weapon” upon his return this time.

After exchanging a few compliments, Xie Jingran departed.

Jiang Ning returned to the courtyard.

“It was Xie Jingran. He felt the aura and came to see what was happening.”

Shen Jinhuan acknowledged him with an “Mhm.” She cared about nothing except Jiang Ning.

Xiaobai blinked, “I'm that awesome now?”

Jiang Ning: ... “Don't say that.”

“But I learned it from Revered Master!”

“You are not allowed to learn it.”

Jiang Ning said, “You are still small. In the future, you must conceal your aura, lest others harbor designs on you, capture you, and lock you in a cage...”

Xiaobai shivered in fear.

Then, she brightened, “My Elder sister is here!”

Jiang Ning felt it too.

So, he directly opened a gap in the barrier, allowing Silver Moon to enter.

When Silver Moon arrived and saw that Xiaobai was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jiang Ning.

She quickly asked, “Fellow Daoist, I just felt a terrifying Fox Clan aura. Do you know the reason? Although the grade of the aura's owner is not high, the Bloodline is excellent.

It actually made me feel the urge to submit!”

Xiaobai stood tall beside them.
