360: The changes in the fox heart mark, the white fox girl's decision

Huanwu Mountain.

Halfway up the mountain.

Leng Xuan's brows furrowed tightly; she seemed to have noticed something wrong.

With a wave of her jade-like hand, the illusory fox mirror immediately released a spiritual energy light screen, reflecting the scene outside Huanwu Mountain.

"Not good, Li Guiyan, the Sect Master of the Mo Yan Sect at the Fifth Layer of Enlightenment Realm, has also arrived!"

"If he hadn't come, we could have held out for several more days.

But with him here, we can only hold out for less than two days at most!"

"No, we must prepare quickly!

We must ensure that Xi Rou can escape!"

"That's the only way; we must ensure her survival!"

"However, now is not the best time. The best moment to send Xi Rou away will be when the Spiritual Energy Barrier released by the illusory fox mirror breaks and the Mo Yan Sect's Demonic Cultivators lower their guard."

"Alright, let's do that!"

Leng Xuan communicated with the other two White Fox Elders via voice transmission.

At this time, Leng Xirou, who was nearby, also noticed the changes in the Spiritual Energy Barrier shrouding Huanwu Mountain, and her expression turned grim.

The Spiritual Energy Barrier was clearly under a much more powerful attack now.

It likely wouldn't last more than a few days and would soon be breached by the Mo Yan Sect's Demonic Cultivators!

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed the fox heart imprint on the back of her hand glowing slightly, as if it had sensed something.

Normally, the fox heart imprint would not change unless actively triggered; there was only one situation where such a change could occur.

And that was when the person who signed the fox heart pact with her was sensing her location.

Which meant!

"Su Yun!

Su Yun is here?

Why would he come now?

Does he know I'm in danger?"

Leng Xirou's beautiful eyes widened, her pink lips parted slightly, and her six fox tails wagged excitedly as a series of questions suddenly flooded her mind.

A sense of warmth rose in her somewhat despairing heart.

But then, a look of panic appeared on her pretty face.

If Su Yun had come to find her at any other time, she would certainly have been very happy.

Because Su Yun had come to find her of his own accord; he hadn't forgotten her.

But now it was different. She was facing the greatest crisis since her Reincarnation. Su Yun couldn't come, or he would be dragged into it!

Although she didn't know how he, as a Righteous Path Cultivator, had entered the Eastern Region while it was blockaded by Demonic Cultivators.

But he must have come alone; it was unlikely he had brought experts from the Taixuan Holy Land with him.

After all, the Eastern Region now seemed completely occupied by Demonic Cultivators, and Righteous Path experts wouldn't easily risk entering.

"Xi Rou, what's wrong?"

Leng Xuan was puzzled when she saw the change in Leng Xirou's expression.

"Aunt Xuan, my Human Race Dao Companion has come to find me!"

Leng Xirou's face was pale as she spoke in an anxious tone.

Leng Xuan's expression changed slightly, and she was somewhat shocked.

She actually knew that Leng Xirou was the Reincarnation of the Fox Clan Empress from several hundred years ago.

Because she had basically watched the previous life's Leng Xirou grow up, and the two had an excellent relationship.

So as soon as Leng Xirou arrived at the White Fox Clan, she had reunited with her and told her about the Reincarnation.

Initially, they were chatting pleasantly, but when she heard that Leng Xirou had found a Human Race Cultivator as a Dao Companion and even signed a Fox Heart Pact, she was so angry she almost fainted.

The reason their White Fox Clan had fled to the Human Race's territory and remained in hiding was not only to avoid being found by several major Yao Races but also to minimize contact with humans.

After all, many members of the White Fox Clan had been captured by humans and forced into Master-Servant Contracts.

The naive younger generation of white foxes was easily deceived.

She never expected that even Leng Xirou would have her heart stolen by a human.

But there was nothing she could do; even the Fox Heart Pact had been signed, so there was no point in regretting it.

However, the fact that Leng Xirou's Human Race Dao Companion, Su Yun, had rushed here while she was in crisis was actually quite commendable.

Leng Xirou hadn't misjudged him.

Thinking of this, Leng Xuan spoke up:

"Xi Rou, tell your Dao Companion not to come to Huanwu Mountain; it's very dangerous here!"

Now that the Eastern Region was blockaded, the fact that Su Yun could enter as a Taixuan Disciple meant he possessed a special method.

After she and the other two Elders sent Xi Rou away...

...Xi Rou might be able to leave the Eastern Region with Su Yun's help.

Therefore, Su Yun must not be allowed to come to Huanwu Mountain; otherwise, it would be trouble if he were discovered by the Demonic Cultivators of the Mo Yan Sect.

"Aunt Xuan, you're right. I'll tell him right now!"

Leng Xirou composed herself, circulated her spiritual energy, and activated the fox heart imprint on the back of her hand:

"Su Yun, you've come to the Eastern Region?"

"Xi Rou, I'll be there soon!"

Su Yun's gentle voice came from the fox heart imprint.

"What? Why are you coming here?

I... I'm about to go into seclusion and don't have time to see you. Go back!

I'll contact you when I'm free!

The Eastern Region is currently blockaded by Demonic Cultivators, so you must be careful."

Leng Xirou forced herself to remain calm and spoke in a charming voice, pretending as if nothing was wrong.

She only hoped that Su Yun didn't know about the crisis the White Fox Clan was currently facing.

And that he would listen to her and not come looking for her.

"Xi Rou, I know everything.

Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

Su Yun's firm voice came through.

"You... what do you know?

I already said I don't have time right now. I'll make it up to you the next time we meet."

Leng Xirou said, somewhat flustered.

Her jade-like hand suddenly clenched, and her heart was filled with anxiety.

The area around Huanwu Mountain was surrounded by the Mo Yan Sect; Su Yun must absolutely not come.

How on earth could she stop Su Yun from coming?

She couldn't explain the situation directly.

Wait, although the fox heart imprint allowed them to sense each other's locations, the sensing function could also be turned off.

The spiritual light emitted by the fox heart imprint wasn't very bright yet, which meant Su Yun was still quite far from Huanwu Mountain; there was still time to turn off the sensing function.

Without the fox heart imprint's sensing, Su Yun shouldn't be able to find Huanwu Mountain and wouldn't continue coming.

With that thought, Leng Xirou focused her mind, and the fox heart imprint on the back of her hand flashed with a faint white spiritual light before dimming.

Her voice trembling slightly, she continued:

"Su Yun, I won't say more. I really have to go into seclusion now. I'll find you when I'm free.

Since our White Fox Clan is currently in seclusion from the world, even for you, our Clan Chief would not agree to let you enter.

So, after I come out of seclusion next time, I'll go find you!"

Leng Xirou waved her slender hand, enduring the pain in her heart as she turned off the fox heart imprint's communication function.

Then, she looked at the fox heart imprint on the back of her hand once more and murmured:

"This way, Su Yun shouldn't be able to find his way here!"

A moment later, Leng Xirou composed herself, formed a hand seal with her jade-like hands, and circulated more spiritual energy into the illusory fox mirror.

What she didn't notice was that she had already unconsciously shed hot tears.

Leng Xuan felt distressed as she watched Leng Xirou's heartbroken expression.

She thought to herself:

"The feelings between Xi Rou and her Dao Companion seem to be very deep.

In that case, I can rest assured handing Xi Rou over to her Dao Companion."

"Xi Rou, don't worry! You will be reunited with your Dao Companion!"
