66: An eight-tailed fox spirit! A letter from the river god!
"Boom!"
[Remember this site's domain w̑̈̑̈k̑̈̑̈̑̈ȃ̈̑̈n̑̈̑̈.c̑̈̑̈ȏ̈̑̈m̑̈̑̈ — super considerate]
A tyrannical, malevolent, vast Demonic Qi, filled with chilling killing intent, erupted from deep within Tushan!
"Roar!"
A hoarse, prolonged howl echoed, sweeping in all directions with Tushan as its center!
An indescribable pressure instantly enveloped the surrounding mountains and forests, as if a peerless ferocious beast had awakened from its slumber.
On the mountain peaks at the edge of Wind Chasing Ridge, numerous demon cultivators went limp, unable to control their bodies, and directly fell to the ground!
The eagle demon, just about to deliver a letter, let out a mournful cry and plummeted, crashing into several large trees.
Even the Eagle King couldn't resist this pressure. It struggled desperately but still trembled and knelt down.
What is going on!?
The Eagle King struggled to raise its head, its eagle eyes gazing at Tushan in the distance. Immediately, its pupils constricted sharply, and a deep look of horror appeared on its face.
In the very distant center of Tushan.
A colossal Fox Demon, over a thousand zhang tall, entirely crimson like blood, with enormous eyes like blood moons, and eight tails fluttering behind it, stood silently in the center of the mountain forest!
The source of the violent aura was precisely it!
The crimson fox, its figure like a great mountain, had cold eyes filled with killing intent, scanning one by one the demon cultivators who were preparing to attack Tushan.
Everywhere its gaze landed, the demon cultivators there were scared out of their wits, terrified to the extreme.
"Eight... Eight-Tailed Demon Fox!!!"
A certain demon king stammered, his voice trembling.
Immediately after.
Unable to suppress its fear any longer, it shrieked.
"Tushan actually has an Eight-Tailed Demon Fox!"
Before the sound faded, that demon king struggled to escape backward, not even bothering with its own son.
As for besieging the Fox Demon and capturing a few beautiful Fox Demon concubines for itself?
What a joke!
An existence like an Eight-Tailed Demon Fox could kill it with just a breath!
Attacking Tushan was simply courting death!
Damn Bear King, making us come to our deaths while he hides in his lair!
At this moment, every demon king who had led their subordinates here cursed the mastermind in their hearts.
Now, their hearts were filled only with regret, fearing that they would be remembered by the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox, in which case they would die without a burial place.
For a time.
Some demon kings even had the thought of abandoning their territories and fleeing alone.
As the demon kings fled, their subordinates naturally followed suit, desperately scrambling to escape, tumbling and crawling away.
A moment later.
Not a single demon cultivator remained around Tushan; all had fled the area.
And just then.
The colossal crimson fox, towering over heaven and earth in the center of Tushan, slowly dissipated into a rain of light.
The terrifying pressure vanished, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.
In the Tushan Ancestral Land deep within Tushan.
Tushan Yiyi, covered in blood, her face pale as snow, staggered out of a tomb.
"Young Miss!"
The beautiful Fox Demons waiting outside rushed forward, helping Tushan Yiyi, who had almost fallen.
A graceful Fox Demon with an alluring face, sharp-eyed, noticed the blood on Tushan Yiyi's chest and was instantly greatly alarmed.
"Young Miss! You used the Heavenly Fox Essence Blood!?"
Hearing this, the Fox Demons were all shocked.
Not all Fox Demons could possess several tails.
Having multiple tails was a symbol of identity, Bloodline, strength, and status.
Only a very small number of Fox Demons possessed such a Bloodline.
Tushan Yiyi and her sister were among them.
This was one of the reasons for their noble status and the respect they received from other Fox Demons.
They were born with Heavenly Fox Essence Blood within them. If it were damaged, it could very likely affect their cultivation and Lifespan!
It could be said to be crucially important and not to be lost!
But now, Tushan Yiyi had used the Essence Blood within her.
The price paid was undeniably immense!
"If not for this, our ancestor would not have reacted. If they weren't scared away, our Tushan would be destroyed. At that point, what meaning would even the most noble Bloodline have?"
Tushan Yiyi slightly furrowed her Liu Mei, enduring immense pain, yet her tone remained cool and clear.
For Tushan, for her sister, she could give anything!
"Quickly, take Young Miss to heal!"
The Fox Demons hurriedly helped Tushan Yiyi leave the Tushan Ancestral Land... Taihang Mountains.
Skinny Egg returned to report, bringing Xu Qing three letters.
One for him, and one each for Liu Mei and Bai Ling.
These were letters the River God had Skinny Egg bring back. The contents didn't seem freshly written; they were more like a diary.
"Day 1 back in Jingyue River, teasing the village kids isn't as fun anymore, I want to go back to Taihang Mountains."
"Day 2 back in Jingyue River, bad news! A teacher came to the village, and all the kids were taken to study and learn characters! I want to go back to Taihang Mountains even more!"
"Day 3 back in Jingyue River, why haven't the spirit fruits arrived yet? I had nothing to do yesterday and accidentally ate all the spirit fruits! River God, you're too greedy! I want to go back to Taihang Mountains even more... I miss Sister Bai Ling, I miss Sister Liu Mei... I miss you..."
"This peiyuan pill is delicious! It's sweet, like candy beans. Remember to send me a few more bottles next time! Also, why is Skinny Egg delivering the spirit fruits? What happened to Fat Ball? Did you catch him secretly eating Peaches of Immortality?"
"Last thing, are there any Spirit Pills that can make my face thinner? I also want a melon seed face like Sister Bai Ling's."
These last two paragraphs were written by the River God on the spot.
Xu Qing read for a long time, unsure whether to laugh or be angry.
He estimated that by the time Skinny Egg returned to Taihang Mountains to report, the River God had already eaten all the peiyuan pills.
While that stuff wasn't the legendary Immortal Pill, it couldn't be eaten like a meal!
Also, refining a Spirit Pill to slim the face?
Why are all women in the world the same?
How could even the dignified River God pursue such impractical things?
In his previous life, wasn't this kind of thing purely a 'IQ test' medicine?
Moreover, the River God ate Spirit Pills and spirit fruits like meals, wanting to eat a whole basket at a time. What kind of Spirit Pill could help her?
"This girl, I think she's beyond saving. How could I make her such a Medicinal Pill and tarnish the reputation of my Divine Ability!"
Xu Qing shook his head and sighed deeply.
He turned to the Pill Furnace, lost in thought.
This Spirit Pill for a slimmer face... how was it refined again... Xu Qing was racking his brain.
Suddenly.
A Bloodline-derived tremor abruptly appeared!
A divine light flashed in his golden vertical pupils. Xu Qing suddenly turned his head, gazing into the distance, far into the depths of the great mountains!
The Earth Hearing Technique was fully unleashed, and when it reached its limit.
"Roar!"
An extremely faint, hoarse roar entered Xu Qing's ears!
A trace of pressure descended, seemingly wanting Xu Qing to submit.
Xu Qing remained unmoved, his Qi circulating, instantly dispelling that wisp of pressure.
Divine light burst forth from his eyes.
He gazed into the distance, quickly finding a direction.
"Tushan, huh..."
...PS: Tragic, the air conditioner broke this morning, started blowing hot air. The outside temperature is nearly 40 degrees Celsius, and the room is stuffy, which directly caused me heatstroke!
My body felt like it was splitting open all day. I barely managed to type a bit, I'll rest for a while and then write some more. I'll make up for what I owe tomorrow!
