484: Chapter 484 Let me show you the new home

At the same time.

Within a hidden cave in Huangji Prefecture.

A waterfall cascaded down, the sound of water gurgling, and peach blossom petals drifted with the wind, carpeting the ground in a splendid display.

Purple Sandalwood sat cross-legged, her purple gauze dress scattered casually about. Her jet-black hair was loosely tied up, revealing a slender, porcelain neck. The curves of her chest rose and fell slightly with her breath, enough to enchant countless men.

Behind her, seven fluffy fox tails swayed gently, shimmering with radiant light. Immediately after, a hazy phantom slowly emerged from the Void Realm, enveloped in a faint halo.

"Master!"

Nine-Tailed Fox Venerable glanced at her. "Speak!"

"According to the information gathered by your subordinate during these past days, Great Love Immortal Venerable died at the hands of the Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Sect."

"That Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Sect faced Great Love Immortal Venerable alone, struck him down from the Outer Heavens, and beheaded him in public. Heavenly Venerable Mogong, Medicine Venerable, and Mystic Talisman Heavenly Venerable stood by throughout to maintain order but did not intervene."

"The three stood by and did not intervene?"

Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable repeated, her tone grave. "In other words, the cultivation base of the Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Sect is even higher than that of Great Love Immortal Venerable?"

"Yes."

Purple Sandalwood nodded. "Furthermore... the two god-rank magic treasures in Great Love Immortal Venerable's hands, the Soul-Eater Blade and the Eternal Evergreen Lamp, were both seized."

"What about the Wansheng Dao Court?"

"The Elder tier of the Wansheng Dao Court was entirely wiped out by Mystic Talisman Heavenly Venerable; not a single one was spared. The ordinary Disciples are all imprisoned within a Forbidden Ground, their lives or deaths unknown. Currently, various forces in the Nine Provinces are conducting a purge against the affiliated forces of the Wansheng Dao Court. I'm afraid it won't be long before the traces of this nail are completely uprooted."

After Purple Sandalwood finished speaking, she cautiously looked up at her master's expression.

No joy or anger could be seen on Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable's face, but deep within those fox-like eyes, anger was faintly surging.

"Dao Seeking Sect..."

She softly uttered those three words. "It's the Dao Seeking Sect again."

When she first heard these three words in the Flame Continent, she didn't take them seriously. Later, they ruined a bit of the layout in the Rain God Continent, which brought them into her field of vision. However, Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable still didn't pay them much mind, and the plan continued to proceed very smoothly.

But she never expected—

That such a Sect was actually hiding so deeply. Even with two god-rank treasures in hand, Great Love Immortal Venerable was actually killed by them in public. Three Heavenly Venerables stood by for them, willing to play supporting roles.

"Just where did this Dao Seeking Sect pop out from?"

Purple Sandalwood kept her head down, not daring to respond.

After about ten breaths of time, she finally asked cautiously, "What are Master's next instructions? Does your subordinate need to send people to investigate the Dao Seeking Sect's background?"

"You go?"

Even the Wansheng Dao Court was destroyed by them; wouldn't going there be like throwing a meat bun at a dog?

Just as Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable was about to speak, her eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Stand by for now."

Purple Sandalwood was slightly startled but didn't dare to ask more. She bowed and her figure gradually faded away.

Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable slowly opened her eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then waved her hand.

A black jade fragment flew out from her sleeve and suspended itself before her. She closed her eyes and sank her consciousness into it.

...

Inside the Chaos Space.

As soon as Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable's consciousness entered this space, her pupils constricted and her mind shuddered.

This place was no longer a vast expanse of greyish Chaos.

Below, mountains and rivers were spread out as far as the eye could see. Green mountains were layered in verdant hues, surrounded by green waters; streams gurgled, and birds sang amidst the fragrance of flowers. In the distance, a waterfall cascaded down, and nearby, peach forests were in full bloom. Sunlight spilled through the clouds, reflecting across the entire world, making it warm and bright.

What a paradise away from the world.

What exactly was going on?

Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable stared blankly at the scene before her. She had entered and exited this space countless times but had never seen such a change.

Just as she was in shock, she suddenly sensed something and took a sharp breath.

Then, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Spiritual Qi.

In this space, there was actually Spiritual Qi. Although it wasn't particularly dense, it definitely existed.

Although she had long known that this black jade was by no means an ordinary Magic Treasure—even a god-rank magic treasure might not possess its mysteries—for such an earth-shaking change to occur, there was only one possibility.

"How is it?"

A man's voice suddenly reached her ears.

Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable snapped her head up, her expression wary.

She saw a white-robed figure standing with hands behind his back not far ahead, looking at her with a calm smile.

While Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable was sizing up Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan was also sizing up this seductive fox.

After obtaining seven fragments, Chen Xuan had already mastered many of the Chaos Void Jade's abilities. This world before them was something he had opened up himself.

Now, if he wanted to see Number Eight's appearance clearly, it only took a single thought.

The woman before him wore a black gauze robe, the fabric as thin as a cicada's wing, outlining her curvaceous figure in a partially visible manner. Her skin was like snow, her collarbones well-defined, and her waist was so slender it could be held in one hand. Further down were startling curves, looming under the cover of the gauze, adding a few points of temptation.

The features on that face were exquisite to the point of being demonic. Her eyes and brows held a naturally born charm that wasn't intentional but radiated from her very bones. Her fox-like eyes slanted upwards slightly, and as her gaze flowed, it seemed as if she could hook a person's soul away.

Truly worthy of being the overlord among foxes; just a few glances were enough to make one feel a certain 'hardness' rise.

Among the people Chen Xuan had seen, in terms of pure facial delicacy, his own Shu Shichan was naturally the most startling; that face was flawless. But in terms of sheer attraction, this seductive fox before him was definitely number one.

One could say she was exactly what men desired.

"You are? The Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Sect!" Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable asked tentatively.

Chen Xuan said calmly, "Don't be nervous. Bringing you here this time was mainly to let you see if you're satisfied with this new home."

"What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist?"

Chen Xuan withdrew his gaze from the snowy white skin before him and let his eyes sweep over the landscape. "The struggle between the Human Race and the Yao Race has lasted for ten thousand years. It's about time for it to come to an end, isn't it?"

Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable narrowed her eyes slightly. "Indeed. Within ten years, a period should be put to this long slaughter. Either you die, or we perish."

Chen Xuan waved his hand with an air of indifference. "Why the need for such killing? Even if a winner is eventually decided, the remaining side will surely suffer heavy losses and their Origin Qi will be greatly damaged."

He paused and gave a light laugh. "I have a method that doesn't involve fighting. Why doesn't Fellow Daoist listen to it?"

"Your words are quite interesting, Fellow Daoist. Now that Mad Venerable is dead, and both Heavenly Venerable Mogong and Medicine Venerable are significantly injured, even if you've discovered the truth about Great Love Immortal Venerable, so what?"

She tilted her chin up slightly, a cold light flickering in her fox eyes. "The various forces of the Human Race have suffered heavy losses and are in turmoil. Meanwhile, the Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable of my Yao Race has been conserving energy, and along with Heaven-Shaking Monkey Venerable and two other Demon Venerables, there are a total of twelve Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts. Does Fellow Daoist think there's a need to listen to your method?"

"Three others?"

Chen Xuan laughed in spite of himself and shook his head. "Let me show Fellow Daoist something good."

As his voice fell, he flipped his hand, and a demon core appeared in his palm.

That demon core was pitch black all over, with dark gold patterns flowing on the surface, radiating a heart-palpitating pressure.

Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable's pupils suddenly constricted; she recognized the aura of this demon core.

"This is..."

"Desolate Night Wolf Venerable." Chen Xuan provided the answer for her. "The last time in the Secret Realm, I took care of him in passing. Besides him, there was also a little crawler, but the demon core and corpse are gone now."

Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable's face turned ashen in an instant.
