130: Sneak into the fox clan’s mansion, first use civil skills and then use military skills.

Half an hour later.

The two, having confirmed their mutual understanding, slowly grew closer.

Han Dapao recounted everything he had experienced in the Demon Realm, tears welling up in his eyes from excitement.

"It's been five years, Uncle Chen, do you know what I've been through these five years!"

"I ran from the Central Region to the Western Region, and then from the Western Region to the Northern Region; I've worked odd jobs and begged for food. At my lowest point, I even... even... I can't even face people anymore!"

He couldn't help but sob when he reached the painful part, finding it truly difficult to speak.

His shoulders trembled like a sieve, making it obvious what kind of inhuman torment he had endured over the years.

Chen Beixuan could roughly guess what he hadn't said, and internally exclaimed, 'Good heavens!'

That scene was too beautiful; he didn't even dare to imagine it.

His hand hung in mid-air, unsure whether to drop it or pull it back.

After some thought, he finally let it fall, patting Han Dapao's back, and said with a stir in his heart,

"Actually, I came here this time to take you away. From now on, you'll follow me, and you won't suffer anymore."

These words were half-true and half-false, without any psychological burden.

In a foreign land, if he could help, he would, especially since Han Dapao could speak Beast Tongue, which was useful to him.

Han Dapao's face was streaked with leopard print from crying.

Upon hearing his words, he immediately stopped crying and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Chen."

He was over forty years old, so he naturally called Chen Beixuan "Uncle Chen."

Han Dapao didn't doubt the truth of these words in the slightest.

If he wasn't here to save him, who would travel all the way to the Northern Region of the Demon Realm to find him?

The higher-ups must still remember him and specially sent rescuers.

And so, a beautiful misunderstanding was born.

Chen Beixuan was pleased with the outcome and naturally wouldn't expose it.

Through their conversation, he learned that Han Dapao had been on the run and had very limited intelligence.

He wasn't clear about the location of the spatial passage, but he guessed that the leaders of the three major demon clans in the city might know something.

Ten years ago, the Human Realm Imperial City suddenly began covert reconnaissance into the Demon Realm, and even though only one in ten personnel returned, they didn't stop.

He was sent in five years ago and had fortunately survived until now.

Now, combining this with the appearance of a Demon Realm spatial passage in Winter Holy City, Han Dapao speculated that the Human Realm might have received advance notice and was preparing for a rainy day, which was why they sent them to gather intelligence.

As for how they infiltrated...

According to Han Dapao's recollection, he was sent in by a Grand Spatial Mage dispatched from the Imperial City.

Chen Beixuan secretly frowned.

He had thought Han Dapao might know some useful information, but it turned out there was still no gain.

"Among the three major demon clans, who do you think is more likely to know?"

"Hmm... the Bear Clan, I suppose, since they hold the position of City Lord."

Han Dapao lowered his head and pondered.

Chen Beixuan nodded and said, "Okay, take me to the Fox Clan's residence."

"???"

"Uncle Chen, I said the Bear Clan..."

"Stop talking nonsense... go to the Fox Clan."

"......"

......

As dusk approached, on the street.

Han Dapao led the way with a strange expression on his face.

The Fox Clan members were all beautiful girls, and their figures were indeed quite alluring...

Could Uncle Chen also want to try something new?

Why did he suddenly feel that Uncle Chen wasn't a proper person?

How strange...

Regardless of his thoughts, Chen Beixuan, who was behind him, was somewhat expectant.

They say fox demons are captivating and enchanting, capable of a thousand charms.

He was curious on one hand, and on the other, he was combining it with the information he had heard in the tavern.

Clan members who were affiliated with major powers, over the years, would inadvertently hear far more various news and intelligence than the City Lord.

So, choosing the Fox Clan was merely due to comprehensive consideration, heaven knows!

Before long, the two arrived at an outer wall.

Han Dapao lowered his voice and said,

"Inside is the Fox Clan's residence. How do you plan to get in?"

"I'll fight my way in."

"Oh... fight your way in..."

..."What! Fight your way in?!"

Han Dapao exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Chen Beixuan chuckled and waved his hand.

"Just kidding, I have my own way of getting in."

Information forced out might be false, but information overheard was highly likely to be true.

So, he planned to infiltrate first, then turn hostile.

"Oh... you scared me to death..."

Han Dapao patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Alright then, I'll wait for you here... you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Chen Beixuan suddenly disappear from his sight, which made him shiver again like a vibrating blade.

"Huh? Where did he go..."

......

Inside the Fox Clan manor, behind a large tree.

Chen Beixuan steadily emerged from the Void Escape and surveyed his surroundings.

Most of the rooms in the courtyard were dark, with only two in the middle lit up.

Aside from a few Fox Clan guards at the entrance, the courtyard seemed somewhat empty.

"Void Escape!"

With the cooldown refreshed, he re-entered the void to travel.

He arrived behind the middle room, appearing by the window.

At this distance, he could already hear the conversation inside, two female voices.

"Clan Leader, that Xiong Yiyi truly left the city and went into the mountains. Our people have already set out and will ensure she dies without a burial place tonight."

"Heh heh, of course she'll go on her mother's death anniversary. Everyone knows how filial Xiong Yiyi is."

"Such a beautiful maiden, what a pity... Remember to do it cleanly, alright? I don't want to face that crude fellow."

"Don't worry, Clan Leader, the Flower Demon Clan has already tied up most of the city's forces. Xiong Yiyi only has two guards by her side."

"That's good. As long as she dies, the Bear Clan will never be able to rise again, and we'll have an explanation for the Green Python Clan."

"Clan Leader, I... have a question, I don't know if I should ask..."

"Speak."

"Logically speaking, with the strength of the Green Python Clan, they could easily wipe out the Bear Clan. Why do they still need us to act?"

"The Demon God Hall has set a rule: the top hundred clans are not allowed to arbitrarily exterminate other clans, otherwise they will be sanctioned by the Demon God Hall."

"Although the law of the jungle hasn't changed, it can still restrain those arrogant great demon clans. Just keep this to yourself, don't spread it around, understand?"

"Yes."

"The bathwater has cooled. Go and heat some more to add."

"Alright, Clan Leader."

Footsteps receded, leaving only the occasional splash of water in the room, inviting endless imagination.

Chen Beixuan's heart stirred by the window.

The ambush on Xiong Yiyi had nothing to do with him; he didn't plan to intervene and waste time.

As for the Demon God Hall...

It must be the rule-makers of the Demon Realm...

The two little foxes chatted for a long time, but there was no information about the spatial passage.

Did these low-level demon clans not know, or were they deliberately keeping it a secret?

"Troublesome, I didn't want to go all out."

At this point, he had no choice but to go in and find out, to force the information out.

"Void Escape!"

Swish!

The world darkened, and Chen Beixuan took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The scene inside came into full view.

Steamy mist filled the room, and a large wooden bathtub sat in the center.

A faintly visible snow-white figure splashed water, several tails playfully resting on the edge of the tub, twitching.

"Is it already hot?"

A melodious voice carried a hint of surprise as she slowly turned her head.

Thud!

The hairbrush in her jade hand fell to the ground, and Hu Linger's beautiful eyes gradually widened!

"Ah!!!!"
