Chapter 222: The Sky Fox Tribe Incident 2
The night sky of the Sky Fox Clan should be full of stars, but tonight it is shrouded in a layer of blood-red mist.
Xiaobai and the gold nugget turned into two streaks of light that streaked across the sky. The emerald leaves of the Tree of Life felt slightly warm in Xiaobai's palms, guiding the direction.
"System, start scanning the Sky Fox tribe's terrain." Xiaobai ordered in her mind, and the Qingli Sword kept buzzing behind her.
[Scan completed. A triple protective barrier has been detected, and there is a high-intensity energy fluctuation in the core area. Taohua is currently in the west side hall, and her vital signs are weak.]
Jin Nugget bared his teeth, his golden hair standing on end. "Those beasts fed drugs to a five-year-old fox? I'm going to pull out their intestines and use them as skipping ropes."
Xiaobai did not respond, but the golden light around him became more and more dazzling.
She remembered Taohua's furry ears rubbing against her hand for candy, and the innocence in her bright eyes.
In the image projected by the system, the layer of gray fog stabbed her heart like a knife.
"We're here." Xiao Bai suddenly stopped. In front of her was a seemingly ordinary peach forest, but with her eyesight, she could see runes floating in the air. "A maze."
She pulled out an emerald leaf and threw it into the air.
The leaves exploded into millions of green lights, and the runes melted away wherever they went.
The peach trees automatically parted, revealing a path leading to the depths.
"Let's go." Xiaobai's voice was as cold as ice.
Outside the west hall, two fox demon guards whose transformed forms were not complete were yawning.
"The kid was crying a lot today. Did the elder increase the dosage of the medicine he gave?"
"Shh, don't talk too much. When the ceremony is completed tomorrow, it will benefit all of us. Hahaha, I'm excited just thinking about it."
Before he finished speaking, two golden lights pierced through their eyebrows.
As the guards fell to the ground, they saw a blonde girl and a red-eyed boy stepping over their bodies.
Blood was still dripping from the boy's fingertips, and his canine teeth were white in his grinning mouth.
Inside the hall, the young man in green was pinching Taohua's nose and forcing her to drink the second pill.
Taohua twitched in pain, and the fluff on her tail fell off in clumps, revealing faint black blood vessels beneath her originally pink skin.
"Stop." Xiaobai's voice was not loud, but it caused the temperature in the entire side hall to drop suddenly.
The young man in blue turned around suddenly, and his pupils shrank when he saw the two people at the door: "Who are you?
The gold nugget has already pounced.
His nails grew three inches and pierced directly into the boy's shoulder blade: "You are the one who fed poison to my little Taohua?"
Amid screams, Xiaobai teleported to Taohua's side. Taohua was already conscious, but she struggled instinctively: "I won't eat... Taohua won't eat... Grandpa said... it's bad..."
"It's okay." Xiaobai gently lifted her up, and the detoxification pill given by the third senior brother turned into golden mist and penetrated into the seven orifices of Taohua.
Those black blood vessels faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The young man in blue suddenly laughed grimly: "The useless forbidden drug has activated her blood, ah..."
The gold nugget directly broke one of his arms.
"Tell me, what ceremony?" Xiaobai's voice was terrifyingly calm.
The young man was sweating profusely from the pain, but he was still smiling: "Tomorrow the moon is full, the elders will let her... let her... mature early... and then..." His eyes swept across Taohua's young body lustfully, "The best disciples in the tribe are already ready, waiting to give birth to pure fox disciples after dual cultivation, and then devour spiritual power, ah..."
A golden light flashed, and the boy's head rolled to the ground.
Xiaobai took back the Qingli Sword, without a drop of blood stained the sword.
"Kill them all." Jin Nugget snapped his fingers, his joints cracking. "Don't leave any alive."
Xiaobai handed Taohua to him: "Take her to a safe place and set up a protective barrier." She looked towards the main hall, where the energy fluctuations were becoming more and more intense. "I'm going to find the clan leader."
Jin Nugget took the peach blossom and nodded seriously: "Be careful, Xiaobai. I feel something wrong there."
Xiaobai didn't say anything, and his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
Inside the main hall, the killing formation formed by twenty-three top Sky Fox clan masters was shrinking.
The white-haired old man in the center is the leader of the Sky Fox clan, Hu Bugui. At this moment, he has five penetrating wounds on his chest and blood is constantly oozing from the corners of his mouth, but he still has his back straight.
"Brother, why bother?"
The blue-robed man at the head was the clan leader's cousin, Hu Ming. He was playing with a jade token and said, "Hand over the family master's order, and I will keep Taohua's body intact."
A trace of pain flashed across Hu Bugui’s eyes, but he immediately said firmly: “The laws of our ancestors cannot be violated.
Devouring cultivation is the way to death, you... ahem... have all been bewitched by the netherworld evil spirit."
"Pedantic!" Hu Ming suddenly became furious. "It is your morality that has caused the Sky Fox Clan to decline. Let me lead the Sky Fox Clan into a new era. When the time comes, the Demon Lord will lend me a helping hand, and I will be able to unify the demon world."
He waved his hand violently, and the killing array lit up with a scarlet light. "I'll ask you one last time, will you hand it over?"
Hu Bugui suddenly smiled. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and made a seal with his hands: "Then let's die together."
Just as he was about to detonate his inner elixir, a green sword light split the roof of the hall and fell straight into the center of the killing formation.
The three masters closest to Hu Bugui had not yet reacted before their heads flew off.
"Who are you? Get out here and ruin my good deeds." Hu Ming took several steps back, shocked and angry.
When the smoke and dust cleared, a girl who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old stood there holding a sword.
Her white clothes were as white as snow, a red feather in her hair moved without wind, and her eyes were so cold that all the fox demons shivered at the same time.
"Kill your people." Xiaobai said.
After a brief silence, the hall erupted in laughter.
A fox demon with tattoos all over his face wiped away tears of laughter and said, "Chief, this is your rescuer? A young girl who is still wet behind the ears?"
Hu Bugui was trembling all over. He stared at Xiaobai's face, his lips trembling as he spoke incoherently, "Yes, is it Bai... His Highness Baili?"
Xiaobai did not deny it.
Her eyes swept over every fox demon present. In the dimension they could not see, countless black causal lines extended from these fox demons, each of which connected to the souls of innocent people. Especially Hu Ming, a small piece of purple crystal was growing in his heart.
"Netherworld Parasite." Xiaobai said softly, "It has indeed infiltrated here."
Hu Ming suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Let's play tricks together."
Twenty attacks came at Xiaobai at the same time. There were fox fire, poisonous fog, magic weapons, and illusions.
The fox clan's most elite forces were unreserved at this moment.
Xiaobai just raised his finger.
"net."
The Qingli Sword stood suspended in the air, emitting a light brighter than the sun.
All attacks melted away in this light, and all illusions shattered in this light. The fox demons screamed, their eyes were burned, and their skin began to fester.
"Is this divine light? How is it possible that the gods have already fallen, and the gods cannot interfere in the affairs of other realms. How is it possible?"
Hu Ming was horrified to find that his cultivation was rapidly depleting. "Impossible, how could the God Clan's current abilities... possibly... kill me in just a few moves."
Xiaobai had already appeared in front of him, with the tip of the sword against his heart: "Look into my eyes."
Hu Ming looked up involuntarily. In those golden eyes, he saw the collapse of the starry sky, the creation of the world, and the filth deep in his own soul.
Purple crystals grew wildly within his body, trying to resist, but were suppressed by the more powerful golden light.
"The Demon Lord's running dog." Xiaobai poked out Hu Ming's heart with the tip of his sword, and the purple crystal embedded in it was still beating.
She crushed the crystal, and Hu Ming's body turned into ashes.
The other fox demons wanted to escape, but found that the palace door had been sealed at some point.
Xiaobai's figure flickered in the crowd, and a head fell to the ground with every pause.
There were no screams, no struggles, only terrifyingly precise killings.
When the last fox demon fell, Xiaobai put away his sword and turned to look at Hu Bugui who was standing there in a daze: "Long time no see, little fox, it seems that she called you like this in my memory, but I am her reincarnation."
Hu Bugui was lost in memories. Ten thousand years ago, he was just an ordinary cub of the Sky Fox Clan. He was lucky enough to receive a fairy fruit from the goddess Bai Li. He knelt down with tears streaming down his face: "Your Highness...it's really you. I will recognize you even if you are reincarnated. The Sky Fox Clan swears allegiance to you until death."
"Get up." Xiaobai supported him and injected a stream of pure divine power into his body. "Taohua is safe, but the crisis of the Sky Fox Clan is not over yet."
Hu Bugui felt that his wounds were healing miraculously. He said anxiously, "Your Highness, Hu Ming and his companions have been practicing forbidden techniques for a long time, and there are many accomplices in the clan. I will deal with them immediately and then welcome you back."
"I know." Xiaobai looked outside the hall, where he could hear the sound of fighting. "The gold nuggets will be cleaned up. Now, tell me where the Nether Pearl is."
Hu Bugui's face changed. "Your Highness, what are you here for? The three Netherworld Pearls are the key to suppressing our clan's forbidden land. If you want, I can give them to you. However, two of them have been moved to other places, so it will take some time."
"The Demon Lord wants them." Xiao Bai interrupted him, "The purple crystal in Hu Ming's body is the proof. Take me to the forbidden area, and I'll take as many as I can get first."
At this moment, the roar of gold nuggets came from outside the hall, followed by an earth-shaking explosion.
Xiaobai's expression changed and he moved outside the hall in an instant. He saw the gold block in the air reveal its true form. It turned out to be a golden-haired roar as big as a mountain, confronting three elders who were wrapped in black mist.
A black pearl was suspended between them, constantly releasing distorted space fluctuations.
"The Netherworld Pearl, they actually took this one out of the forbidden area. It seems that something happened in the forbidden area a long time ago. No wonder I haven't received any news. I thought everything was really fine." Hu Bugui exclaimed.
Just as Xiaobai was about to step forward, a red warning popped up on the system:
[The projection of the demon king's consciousness has been detected. Danger level: world destruction.]
The black pearl suddenly exploded, and a vague purple figure appeared in the air. The pupil-less eyes stared directly at Xiaobai, and the entire Sky Fox Clan's territory began to shake.
"Bai Li..." The voice of the Demon Lord sounded like thousands of people whispering at the same time, "You can't stop it. The parasitism is complete. I must avenge you for sealing me. I won't let you go."
Xiaobai tightly grasped the Qingli sword, and the Bifang tail feathers in his hair suddenly caught fire.
Thousands of miles away, Aotian, who was soaking in the holy spring, suddenly opened his eyes: "Xiaobai is in danger."
