The little white ape suddenly became unwell and failed at the critical moment, which made Qin Xiyao worried. Fortunately, the viper and the steel-billed shrew were fine and could help her take care of the little white ape.

She began to suspect that the mist in the Misty Forest was poisonous!

But, if the Misty Forest is really poisonous, why are she, the adder, and the steel-billed shrew all fine?

This foggy forest is a bit weird!

At the foot of Qingqiu Mountain, after getting Qin Xiyao's permission, the viper and the steel-billed shrew quickly hid in the Qiankun Ring to accompany the little white ape and calm its emotions.

Qin Xiyao walked slowly along the long mountain path.

——

At the top of Qingqiu Mountain, in the tribe leader's cave, Hu Ji was practicing. Suddenly, her throat started to itch. She couldn't suppress it with her spiritual power for a while, and she couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood, which spurted out directly!

Hu Ji's cultivation has reached the realm of refining emptiness, but she has never been very satisfied with her cultivation.

Therefore, on Qingqiu Mountain, whenever she had nothing to do, she would hide in her cave to practice.

She couldn't understand why he suddenly vomited blood. This had never happened before!

She wanted to continue to circulate the dark spiritual power in her body to practice, but for some reason, no matter how hard she tried, she could not continue to practice, and her heart always began to feel inexplicably irritated.

After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, Hu Ji lost interest in continuing her practice. She walked out of the cave and planned to walk around Qingqiu Mountain to relieve her emotions.

Qin Xiyao has now reached the halfway point of Qingqiu Mountain. After walking a distance on the mountain road, she will be able to safely reach the Jiuyou Secret Realm.

She knew that there were foxes living in Qingqiu Mountain. After arriving at the foot of Qingqiu Mountain, she did not dare to stay and moved forward quickly. However, just because she did not provoke the Qingqiu foxes, it did not mean that they would not provoke her!

While Hu Ji was standing on the top of Qingqiu Mountain looking at the scenery, she happened to see Qin Xiyao passing by from Qingqiu Mountain!

Hu Ji finally met a human being like Qin Xiyao, and her heart began to blossom with joy.

She planned to extort some treasures from Qin Xiyao's human. Therefore, when Qin Xiyao was about to leave Qingqiu Mountain and was about 100 meters away from the Nine Nether Secret Realm, Hu Ji quickly came down the mountain and asked Qin Xiyao for a toll.

"Xuankong Continent still charges tolls?"

Qin Xiyao had a big question mark in her mind.

Even in the 21st century, she wouldn't be charged this much for walking on a mountain road, right?

The woman who asked her to pay for the journey looked to be in her thirties and was graceful and elegant. No matter how Qin Xiyao looked at it, she couldn't connect her with bandits or robbers!

"Qingqiu Mountain is the base camp of the Fox Clan. You trespassed into Qingqiu Mountain, and I only charged you a small fee. Why are you so surprised?"

Qingqiu Mountain is located in the deepest part of the Misty Forest. All the cultivators in the entire Xuankong Continent know that Qingqiu Mountain is the base camp of the fox clan.

Therefore, Hu Ji appeared in front of Qin Xiyao and announced her identity, without fear that Qin Xiyao would do anything bad to her!

In Hu Ji's eyes, Qin Xiyao's cultivation level was lower than hers, and she came to Qingqiu Mountain alone. Was she still worried that she would not be able to get the travel expenses from Qin Xiyao?

"What if you don't give it to me?"

Qin Xiyao didn't want to give Hu Jilu money, so she started to test her.

She used the Nine-Light Purple Eyes to investigate Hu Ji's cultivation, but Hu Ji's cultivation was higher than hers, and she kept preventing her from using the Nine-Light Purple Eyes to investigate her own cultivation.

Qin Xiyao couldn't find out Hu Ji's cultivation level, so she had to give up!

"Then it will probably be difficult for you to leave Qingqiu Mountain!"

Hu Ji sneered.

Qingqiu Mountain is her base camp!

"What if I left Qingqiu Mountain?"

Although Qin Xiyao could not find out Hu Ji's cultivation level, she knew that Hu Ji's cultivation level was higher than hers.

Theoretically, she had no chance of escaping from Hu Ji's base camp unless Hu Ji let her go.

She asked the question even though she knew the answer, in order to prevent Hu Ji from pursuing her relentlessly after she left Qingqiu Mountain.

"If you can really escape from me and leave Qingqiu Mountain, I promise to let you go! I won't cause you any more trouble!"

Hu Ji didn't believe that Qin Xiyao could leave from under her nose!

Making this promise at this moment actually made her seem generous in front of Qin Xiyao.

"Then if I don't pay the toll, I'll just have to force my way through!"

This is exactly what Qin Xiyao was waiting for!

Although, she was not sure whether the promise of livestock would count!

In order to reach the Jiuyou Secret Realm as soon as possible, Qin Xiyao plans to use the Bagua Qiankun Shifting Method to break into Qingqiu Mountain.

But her movements were still a little slow, and Hu Ji used her charm technique on her before she could use the Bagua Qiankun Shifting Technique.

Qin Xiyao, who was under the spell of Hu Ji, became increasingly conscious and could no longer distinguish east from west, south from north!

Of course, at present, Hu Ji only wanted to punish Qin Xiyao and make her suffer a little. Therefore, when she used her charm on Qin Xiyao, Hu Ji deliberately showed mercy and did not kill her.

After all, she had no grudges against Qin Xiyao, and Qin Xiyao's refusal to give her toll would not make her angry or ashamed!

The reason why Hu Ji used her charm on Qin Xiyao first was because she realized that Qin Xiyao would not honestly give her the toll.

"This charm technique is too powerful, isn't it?"

Qin Xiyao sighed in her heart.

The little white ape hiding in the Qiankun Ring realized that Qin Xiyao was in a bad condition and seemed to be in danger, so he bypassed the viper and steel mouth and ran out of the Qiankun Ring.

When it saw Hu Ji, its eyes turned red instantly and it rushed directly in the direction of Hu Ji.

Hu Ji's attention was so focused on Qin Xiyao that she didn't even notice the little white ape approaching her.

It wasn't until the little white ape stretched out its forearm and scratched her fair face, leaving five red scratches, that she noticed the little white ape!

However, its charm didn't work on the little white ape. After the little white ape scratched its face, the charm was broken!

After Qin Xiyao regained consciousness, she once again forcibly put the little white ape into the Qiankun Ring, and then she escaped using the Bagua Qiankun Shifting Technique!

After arriving at the Jiuyou Secret Realm, the little white ape's emotions gradually stabilized, and he told Qin Xiyao about the grudge between him and Hu Ji.

Qin Xiyao then realized:

It turns out that long before King Wu of Zhou defeated King Zhou, Bo Yikao, in order to save his father Ji Chang, presented a white-faced monkey that was good at singing and dancing to King Zhou as a tribute. The white-faced monkey was very smart.

It played in front of King Zhou and Su Daji. After all, Su Daji was possessed by a nine-tailed fox. After listening for a while, she became intoxicated, lost in thoughts, and became so obsessed that she could not control herself and revealed her true form.

Seeing Su Daji reveal her true form, it went straight forward and grabbed Su Daji's face. Su Daji was frightened and stepped back. At this time, she had already woken up from the beautiful singing!

Upon seeing this, King Zhou punched the white-faced monkey to death!

Su Daji took the opportunity to confuse right and wrong in front of King Zhou, saying that Heibo Yikao presented the white-faced monkey as tribute in order to assassinate King Zhou!
