176: System Alarm

“If that Human Race brat is truly as you all describe, then the Prodigy cultivated by the Human Race in this generation is far too terrifying.”

Inside the dim great hall, a group of people sat in a circle, each of them emitting an aura far exceeding that of a Great Emperor.

Above the round table, a Powerhouse whose body was a hundred zhang tall slowly extended a claw and gently tapped the table.

The others all looked in his direction.

“If we truly allow this Human Race youngster to grow, our plan to attack the Heaven Domain is likely to be obstructed. He must die. The boundary of the Fissure is the best time to kill him!”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. This was exactly what they were thinking; if the opponent truly escaped back to the Heaven Domain, they would have no means to deal with him.

A Saint-level strength being able to contend with a Quasi-Emperor—this situation could simply be described as Heaven-Defying.

Not to mention, he even carried the lives of several Great Emperors and several Quasi-Emperors on his hands.

“If he stays stationed at the Human Race city, we won’t be able to make a move. We must find a way to lure him to our side so we can kill him; otherwise, we have absolutely no way to deal with him.”

Another person spoke, his tone full of impatience. His clansmen had recently suffered extremely heavy losses, reportedly having been tricked during a certain plan.

“We must find a way to make him leave the Human Race city and penetrate deep into our rear base. Only then can we strike across space and eliminate him.”

“He has three Peak Great Emperors Protecting the Dao right beside him. Relying on our subordinates to kill him is absolutely a pipe dream.”

Another person spoke loudly. Clearly, no one had any good ideas.

Just then, the Powerhouse with the weakest aura at the round table slowly extended his claw, revealing a strange smile on his face.

“I do have a method. As long as we can find a way to infiltrate his side and learn about the people important to him—if we can't kidnap him, can't we kidnap those people? Then, we just need a reason to lure him out.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded. But deciding which Powerhouse's family should approach the target and gather information became the new difficulty.

“You don't need to discuss this matter. I happen to have a lowly daughter born from a union with a Human Race member. Although she possesses the characteristics of our Blood Fox Clan, she looks more like a human. As long as she is properly disguised and hidden, she basically won't be discovered.”

That person spoke again, and everyone nodded. Following that, they began to haggle with each other, discussing how to contribute resources.

To hide an alien race member and infiltrate the Human Race, they not only had to spend vast amounts of money to grease connections but also had to expend considerable effort to establish an identity for the person.

This was an extremely difficult step. If they couldn't even accomplish this, there would be no way to enter the city.

The resources consumed were naturally enormous.

After the discussion, everyone finally reached a conclusion. The Blood Fox Clan Chief returned to his territory shortly after, a look of resentment on his face.

Their clan was not adept at fighting, but rather excelled at commerce and manipulating people's hearts. The Blood Fox Clan had long lacked a Powerhouse above the Great Emperor realm to preside over them, causing them to become subordinates of other races.

They endured hardships for many years, accumulated vast resources, and poured everything into cultivating the current Blood Fox Clan Chief, thus gaining independence from the other races.

This history made it difficult for them to forget. Now that they needed to use cunning against the Human Race, the intelligence of the Blood Fox Clan immediately became apparent.

“My Lord, you have returned.”

A woman who looked incredibly enchanting wore a Human Race robe, yet her entire body possessed the appearance of a fox.

Although her expression was highly anthropomorphic, she was a genuine fox with no human characteristics on her body.

“Bring that wretched girl here.”

After speaking, the Blood Fox Clan Chief walked straight into the great hall and slowly sat down on the main seat.

The woman looked quite excited.

“Yes, My Lord. I’ll go bring that wretch up right away. You’ve finally hardened your heart and decided to kill her!”

The woman spoke as she headed toward the distant prison cell, followed by several servants.

Soon, a Human Race-looking girl was brought into the great hall. Her clothes appeared very ragged, and her wrists and ankles were covered in marks from being chained up for years.

The girl raised her head, her light pink pupils trembling continuously, looking utterly terrified.

Two delicate white ears grew prominently on her head, and a snow-white tail was attached behind her.

“I have a task for you. If you can handle it well, when you return, I will add your name to the Clan Register, officially making you a member of my Blood Fox Clan.”

The Blood Fox Clan Chief’s words immediately made the smiling woman show a look of disbelief.

“My Lord, absolutely not! You cannot let this little wretch formally join the Blood Fox Clan. Her Bloodline is so mixed, and she is related to the lowest race. You absolutely cannot let her—”

The woman’s words were cut short by a fierce glare.

“When is it your turn to make demands when I speak?”

The Blood Fox Clan Chief’s gaze was as if he wanted to devour someone. The woman was immediately startled and silently lowered her head.

“This time, you will go to the Human Race, disguise yourself as one of their clansmen, and approach one person for me.”

As he spoke, he took out a portrait and slowly unfurled it in front of the girl.

“You will approach him, gather information about him, and immediately send back a message once you know the most important people around him.”

The girl blinked while looking at the portrait, then nodded.

“If I can bring the information back, can you let me see my mother?”

A hint of hoarseness entered the girl’s sweet voice, and her tone was extremely weak.

The Blood Fox Clan Chief was about to get angry, but he forcibly swallowed his saliva. Since he needed the girl to cooperate now, he had to appease her properly.

“No problem. As long as you can bring the intelligence back, I can let your mother meet you, and I will also let your mother join my Blood Fox Clan.”

The Clan Chief’s words significantly improved the girl’s mood, and her expression brightened considerably.

[The System detects that the Host has been targeted by a Powerhouse above the Great Emperor level. Warning!]

Li Haotian was originally in a good mood, drinking and chatting, when he suddenly heard the System’s voice, almost causing him to choke.

“What the hell! Explain yourself! What exactly happened? Why am I suddenly being targeted by a Powerhouse?”

Li Haotian felt the hair on his entire body stand up. He truly had never encountered a Powerhouse above the Great Emperor level, and he couldn't help but feel panicked now.
