After spending the night in Liuxi City, Lingyun and his group left the city in the morning.

Abao habitually spread out the map.

"Brother, the next city is the Demon Burial City. Beyond the Demon Burial City lies the sphere of influence of the Imperial City."

"Demon Burial City?" Ling Yun glanced subconsciously at the little white fox sleeping soundly in Yan Ruyu's arms.

Is there any particular custom or rule?

Abao scratched his head and recalled for a moment, then said:

"It is said that tens of thousands of great demons came to the Golden Cloud Continent ten thousand years ago and fought a decisive battle here. They all died, and some families can still dig up huge demon corpses to this day."

Therefore, this place was called the City of Burial of Demons.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; it seemed that the Demon Burial City had nothing to do with the little white fox.

Yan Ruyu and the others had always been very curious about the little white fox's background. Logically speaking, a Nine Heavens Fox with such pure blood must be a Nine Heavens Fox from the Great World.

There is no such race as the Nine-Headed Fox on the Golden Cloud Continent.

The little white fox didn't know her own origins. She only knew that after she woke up, she was next to the World Tree. She had no parents and was raised by the World Tree.

Ling Yun affectionately ruffled the little white fox's head, which immediately drew a protest.

"Oh dear, Brother Lingyun, don't disturb my sleep!"

The group exchanged smiles and spurred their horses forward.

When they were a thousand miles away from the City of Burial Demons, Ling Yun and his group suddenly stopped.

Because the little white fox suddenly said:

"Brother and sister, stop! I feel like I've been here before!"

I've been here before!

Everyone immediately looked around and discovered a towering mountain that pierced the clouds to the east.

Halfway up the mountain, we were already in the clouds, and most of the mountain was covered in snow.

The mountainside is surrounded by barren wilderness, without a single tree.

Ling Yun sensed that the blood of the Demon Emperor had been spilled here, causing the surrounding area to become barren.

As far as the eye can see, the land is barren and desolate, all the spiritual energy has been evaporated.

Everyone looked at the little white fox and asked curiously:

"Didn't you say you've been in Haoling Mountain since you can remember?"

The little white fox scratched its head with its tiny paws, its big, dark eyes darting around as if it were trying to think.

After a moment, she pointed to the snow-capped mountain and said:

"I feel like I've been there before, my brother and sister really do, I really have that feeling."

The group exchanged glances, turned their horses around, and prepared to go see the snow-capped mountains.

However, as they approached the wilderness, the horses refused to go any further, instead kneeling on the ground with a pleading expression.

You should know that these five horses were top-quality celestial steeds that Ling Yun had captured, with extremely noble bloodlines, yet they were so afraid of the wasteland.

It is clear that the so-called battle of hundreds of thousands of powerful demons here back then was real, not just a legend.

Immediately, Ling Yun waved his hand, and the group arrived at the foot of the snow mountain in an instant.

Upon arriving here, the little white fox seemed to regain some of its memories, and tears streamed down its face uncontrollably.

"Waaah... Brother and sister, I'm so sad. I don't know why, I just feel so upset, waaah..."

Seeing the usually carefree little white fox crying so sadly, Yan Ruyu felt sorry for her and hugged her tightly.

At that moment, Ling Yun narrowed his eyes and looked towards the mountaintop. The next moment, he led everyone to the mountaintop.

The flat area a hundred feet square on the mountaintop is enough to overlook half of the Zhao Kingdom from below, and the starry sky can be seen from above.

Ling Yun then said in a deep voice:

"There is a secret realm here, which should be the ruins of a battlefield from back then!"

A hidden realm!

Everyone's pupils contracted, and they became even more convinced that the great demon war of that year was real.

Immediately, Ling Yun pointed to a spot ahead, and everyone entered the secret realm.

The moment they entered the secret realm, everyone felt a chilling demonic aura.

Upon seeing the scene before them, everyone's pupils contracted, their eyes filled with shock.

Within a vast expanse of the secret realm, lay hundreds of thousands of great demon corpses.

There are countless ancient pure-blooded demons such as True Dragon, White Fox, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Nine Netherworld Hound.

The river formed from the blood of a great demon has remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years.

At the heart of the secret realm lies an abyss with a diameter of a thousand miles and no bottom in sight.

Upon arriving at the secret realm, the little white fox cried even more bitterly, yet she still only had vague memories, knowing only that she had been here before and witnessed life and death separations.

Yan Ruyu comforted the little white fox with heartache while looking at Ling Yun.

"Brother, the little white fox is only eight months old, how could it have been here before?"

Ling Yun knew everything with just one glance at the secret realm.

With a wave of his hand, the River of Time appeared before everyone's eyes, capturing a scene from this place ten thousand years ago.

Everyone watched intently as the image gradually became clearer.

There stood a pair of exquisitely beautiful men and women dressed in white, followed by 100,000 terrifying demons from the True Immortal Realm.

Before them stood a man in a black robe, and behind him were ancient demons such as the True Dragon and White Tiger.

The man in black robes pointed at the man in white and threatened him:

"Hand over the World Tree immediately, or the Nine Heavens Fox Clan will perish!"

Facing the man in black robes whose true form was a devouring black fox, the man in white coldly said:

"Giving you the World Tree would be tantamount to bringing disaster to the world. Even if my Nine Heavens Fox clan is wiped out, I will never hand over the World Tree!"

The next moment!

The man in the black robe turned cold and revealed his true form, which blotted out the sky.

At the same time, the man in white revealed his true form, which was none other than the Nine Heavens Fox.

Behind them were powerful demons from the Nine Heavens Fox lineage.

The bloody battle begins!

The fierce battle left A Bao and the others deeply shaken.

The Nine Heavens Fox lineage is so powerful that even Ling Yun is taken aback.

At the end of the scene, the man and woman in white exchanged a glance, both with resolute intent in their eyes, and then rushed towards the man in black robes.

He self-destructed!

That abyss, stretching for a thousand miles, was created by the aftershocks of the self-destruction.

If it weren't for the fact that this battle took place in a secret realm where the laws of nature were perfectly intact, it would have shattered the Golden Cloud Continent and even fragmented hundreds of surrounding great worlds.

After all, battles between true immortals and immortal kings can easily destroy star fields.

In the instant the man and woman in white self-destructed, they sealed and teleported a small tree and a white fox cub to the bottom of Haoling Mountain.

After watching the footage of the battle from back then, everyone fell silent.

The man and woman in white are the little white fox's parents.

Ling Yun remained silent for a moment before beginning to speak:

"Back then, the World Tree appeared in the world ruled by the Nine Heavens Fox Clan. When the alien races learned of this, they took measures to protect the World Tree from falling into their hands."

The Nine Heavens Fox Clan refined their territory into a secret realm and teleported it to the Golden Cloud Continent, hoping to safely pass through the most vulnerable infancy period of the World Tree.

However, a traitor within the Nine Heavens Fox Clan reported their location to the Devouring Black Fox Clan, which led to that great battle.

"That's how things started and ended!"

After hearing this, the little white fox was heartbroken. She had always longed to see her father and mother, thinking that they had forgotten her here.

She kept fantasizing that one day they would come to pick her up.

I never imagined that my parents had already passed away ten thousand years ago.

At this moment, the little white fox would rather its parents abandon it than see them perish.

Seeing the little white fox's sad face, Ling Yun tenderly held it in his arms and gently comforted it:

"Don't be sad. You need to cheer up, develop well, and remember what your enemy looks like."

You are the only remaining Nine-Headed Fox in the world!
