Chapter 223 There are other foxes outside

In a flash, the master stood in front of Xu Chuchu and faced Taoist Master Hetian head-on.

She didn't take any weapon, but waved her sleeve to deflect the attack.

Taoist Master Tian also immediately noticed his master's cultivation level, took a few steps back, and looked at the few people vigilantly.

"Master." The master performed a Taoist greeting with one hand. "Both children are my disciples. My eldest disciple was injured a while ago and is unable to use his spiritual power. However, the orange cat is indeed my eldest disciple's spiritual pet, not a wandering demon. The three of us, master and disciple, happened to be passing through and would like to stay overnight in the village. We have no ill intentions and have nothing to do with this fox demon."

After hearing this, Taoist Priest Tian didn't pursue the matter further and nodded slowly: "Well, since this Taoist nun is guaranteeing me, I won't ask any more questions. But you can't take this fox demon away."

The master said nothing else and just nodded in thanks.

However, Xu Chuchu knew that the reason why the Taoist priest let Daju go so easily was not because of his brief explanation, but because he realized that his master's strength was comparable to his and he did not want to argue.

If he knew that his master's cultivation was fake, only at the fifth level on the surface, and that he couldn't actually survive three moves, the result might not have been this.

Just as a few people were about to leave, the white fox refused to let them go.

"Xu Chuchu, come back!" Its voice became even more gruff. "I really didn't bite that person to death. Save me!"

If Xu Chuchu didn’t notice something was wrong after being called out by her name, she would be unrecognizable.

This familiar man's voice, fox, demon...

"You are... Chen Zhaozhi?!" Xu Chuchu frowned. "Weren't you exiled? Why are you here? Can you really turn into a fox?"

"It's me, save me!" shouted the white fox.

The last time she went up the mountain to pick Ganoderma lucidum, she met the convoy escorting Chen Zhaozhi. When she asked, Chen Zhaozhi told her that he was actually the third prince who died young as rumored, and was the child of the emperor and a sixth-level female fox demon.

Because he was disliked for having demonic blood, he was placed under the name of General Shen who died in battle and raised by the Grand Master.

He always thought that the Grand Master collected energy for him to seize the throne in the future. When he was exiled, he was still dreaming of becoming an emperor. I wonder if he has woken up now.

I just didn't expect that a half-demon could also transform into a demon body. He looked really good in pretending to be an ordinary fox when he licked my feet just now.

"Do you really know each other?" Taoist Master Tian became alert.

Daju whined in dissatisfaction, "Chuchu, do you really have another fox out there? Didn't we agree that I was your only pet?"

"No..." Xu Chuchu held his forehead, "I have indeed dealt with this white fox before, but we are not from the same sect. Please deal with it as you wish, Taoist Priest."

"Xu Chuchu!" Shen Baihu finally saw an acquaintance with a glimmer of hope, so how could he let it go? "Don't you like to meddle in other people's affairs and uphold justice the most? Why don't you care about it now? I was wronged!"

Xu Chuchu remained indifferent: "If you had lied to me less before, I would have trusted you a little more today."

"I really didn't lie to you! I didn't know the deceased at all, why would I bite her? I just happened to pass by!" Shen Baihu's fox face was about to cry, "By the way, you still owe me five thousand taels of gold. If you save me, I won't ask you to pay it back."

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the five thousand taels of gold, but when he did, Xu Chuchu became even angrier.

"Then just burn it to death. You don't have to pay it back." She said unhappily.

"You woman!" The white fox struggled desperately, but the rope that tied it was specially made by Taoist Master Tian, ​​and it couldn't get rid of it at all.

When the villagers saw the white fox talking and struggling, they retreated in fear and urged Taoist Tian to take action quickly.

At this time, the master came forward from behind Xu Chuchu, bent down, and gently asked the white fox: "Little fox, did you come down from that Fox Mountain?"

Shen Baihu quickly replied: "I came from the direction of the capital and was going back to Fox Mountain."

"Then do you know the way to Fox Mountain?" the master asked again.

"Of course." Shen Baihu puffed out his chest proudly, "My family...generations of ancestors all came from Fox Mountain."

Xu Chuchu felt something was wrong when he heard this and wanted to pull his master away, but it was too late.

She only smiled and asked, "Then we will help you investigate the case. If you are proven innocent, will you take us to Fox Mountain?"

"Of course no problem!" Shen Baihu agreed without even asking why.

Xu Chuchu refused to agree: "Master, this fox is full of nonsense. It was he who provoked Xiao Yu's previous attack. His words cannot be trusted."

Shen Baihu was very anxious: "Who are you blaming? He has a guilty conscience and blames me for provoking him? It's like choking on rice and blaming Mixiang. Without my provocation, there will be others in the future."

The master smiled and said, "It's okay. If he doesn't obey, we can burn him later."

After saying this, he turned to Taoist Master Tian and said, "Master, do you have any evidence to prove that the deceased was injured by this fox demon?"

Taoist Priest Tian's face darkened when he was questioned: "There is only one fox demon in this village. If it wasn't it, then who killed it? Besides, even if it wasn't it, fox demons are still punishable by anyone!"

The master advised earnestly: "Master, that's not the way it should be. It was not born as a fox by choice. If it has not hurt anyone, it is better not to take its life at will."

Shen Baihu nodded desperately on the side.

Taoist Priest Tian was about to retort when the village chief came up to him weakly, "Well... my wife suddenly remembered that Yaya once secretly raised a little fox and called it Xiaohua. It shouldn't be a white fox..."

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!" Taoist Tian was furious because he lost face.

The village chief was helpless. My wife just remembered it, and you wanted to burn the fox demon after catching it, so you didn’t even give me a chance to say it.

The villagers panicked when they heard this: "Oh, aren't there other fox spirits in our village?"

"Please ask the Taoist priest to investigate further and help us clean up the fox demon!"

…

"Okay, then let's re-investigate this case!" Taoist Tian had no choice but to agree, "But before that..."

He suddenly grabbed the white fox's chest with his big hand and pressed hard. The white fox screamed, opened its pointed mouth, and spit out a red ball, which fell into the palm of Taoist Tian.

"I will keep the inner elixir of this fox demon for now, to prevent him from taking the opportunity to escape." He said with a righteous look.

It seems that this master eliminates demons not only to be a hero, but also to seize the demons' inner alchemy for cultivation. If he has this opportunity frequently, it will not be difficult to reach the fifth level.
