After Yang Huaimin said this, He Song couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What he said is possible. Monsters are best at pretending to be innocent. Even if they are caught in the act, they will tell those high-sounding lies with a pitiful attitude.

However, the next second, someone asked a question that made He Song most worried.

"He Song, where did you catch this fox?"

He Song's grip tightened slightly, staring intently at Yuan Ce who had asked this question, and then lowered his eyes again, "It's quite embarrassing to say this. I was thinking of trying my luck with the hunter and seeing if I could get anything out of him, but I ended up falling into his trap."

This statement inevitably caused some people to exclaim in surprise.

"The hunter is just an ordinary person, right? With your current level, you shouldn't be at a disadvantage, right?" Before He Song could explain the whole story, another person raised a question.

But as soon as these words came out, He Song's body froze visibly.

But soon, He Song adjusted his state, touched his nose, and said very uncomfortably: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I thought so at the beginning."

"A hunter with only strength, I naturally didn't consider him as an opponent."

"But that's where the problem lies. He discovered me when I was following him, and then led me to a cave with a spirit-binding formation."

He Song paused as he spoke, then pointed at the curled-up fox on the ground, "Hey, this fox was discovered at that time."

Having said this, He Song stopped.

"Soul Binding Array?" Yang Huaimin frowned.

This formation is different from the ones usually used by Tianyan Sect disciples. It can trap anyone indiscriminately, and can only be successfully set up after reaching the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

If one performs this formation below this realm, even if successful, there will be backlash, and in serious cases, even the cost may be life.

"How did you get away?" After thinking about the interests involved, Yang Huaimin, Yuan Ce and Tang Han asked this question almost at the same time.

But the reason for asking this question was not that they did not trust He Song, but if this formation was not broken by He Song, it would be enough to prove that Chongtou Village was not as simple as they thought.

Maybe there is a powerful person guarding here.

He Song wanted to tell Ning Wan about how she saved him, but after a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke out, remembering his promise to Ning Wan that he would never mention it to anyone else.

"It was a master who rescued me. Unfortunately, I was injured and unconscious at the time, so I didn't see her face clearly."

When He Song spoke, his tone was full of regret, sorrow and admiration.

"Injured?" Yuan Ce grasped another key point almost instantly, "Are you saying that the hunter injured you while you were trapped in the spirit formation?"

I thought I would get a positive answer this time, but He Song's expression suddenly became extremely serious. Realizing that something was wrong, everyone's breathing slowed down a bit, and their eyes instantly fell on He Song.

"Not really."

"After the hunter left, another woman came and slashed me with a dagger made of a special material. If that expert hadn't arrived in time, I would have died from excessive blood loss."

He Song mentioned this matter again and still felt a lingering fear.

The feeling of being on the verge of death was so strong that he no longer held out hope of surviving.

Thinking of this, He Song's expression suddenly changed, and he remembered something particularly important: "This fox and that woman must know each other, and there is a deal that only they know about."

As soon as the words fell, eyes fell on the fox one after another.

Perhaps it was not used to being stared at by so many people, the four-tailed fox buried its head in its tail, and no matter how the people in front of it looked at it, it was unwilling to raise its head.

Yang Huaimin frowned slightly when he heard this. "Have you ever seen that woman?"

"Not really." He Song answered without hesitation. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth again: "However, that woman might have some connection with that hunter."

"When the hunter locked me up there that day, I seemed to have heard something vaguely. He is the only one who knows about this place."

Being able to say such words and yet having this secret discovered by another person can only mean that the relationship between these two people is not ordinary.

Originally, these words were just said casually, but as He Song finished speaking, the fox that was pretending to be dead reacted, and its ears that were originally drooping suddenly stood up.

"Tang Han, if I remember correctly, you seem to have something that can make animals speak?" When Yuan Ce saw this scene, he immediately walked sideways to Tang Han's side and spoke in a low voice, but it was not really a whisper.

Tang Han nodded.

The fox also stood up, with extremely complicated emotions hidden in its eyes, as if it wanted to speak, but did not want to make the secret between itself and the woman public.

After a brief spell, Tang Han attached a talisman to the fox. As the talisman disappeared, a satisfied smile appeared on her lips. "Now you can tell me what your relationship is with the woman who went to the cave?"

After hearing this, the fox did not speak as He Song and the others wished. Its four long tails swayed slightly, which was enough to show that its emotions were unstable.

Seeing that the fox was unwilling to speak, Yuan Ce couldn't bear to watch and quickly joined in, "Don't be afraid. We in the Tianyan Sect are not indiscriminate. It's not your fault that you are a demon. As long as you haven't harmed innocent lives, we will not take your life."

Everything in the world has its own laws.

Although their duty is to eliminate demons, they are not thugs who kill demons whenever they see them.

The arc of the fox's tail swung a little wider. Just when everyone thought they could not find a breakthrough from the fox, an extremely pleasant female voice fell into everyone's ears.

The gentle tone of voice can make the whole room fall into extreme silence.

——"I am the real Qingniang, and the wife of the hunter you are talking about."

"The woman who injured the Immortal Master is the real fox demon. I made a deal with it, which led to the current situation."
