In order to avoid being bullied by An Honghan and despised by Master Feng, the little sable devised a new cultivation plan for herself, determined to improve her cultivation level and no longer rely on An Honghan for survival.
An Honghan pressed the sword in his hand a little deeper into the white fox's neck.
The white fur on the white fox's neck was stained red with drops of blood, causing the fox to grimace and howl in pain.
As an animal himself, Xi Xizhi certainly didn't want to see this scene.
But when she thought about the other person's identity and Old Man Xu's safety, Xi Xizhi knew exactly what she should and shouldn't do, and stood quietly to the side, not daring to make a move.
The white fox's eyes welled up with tears from fright. Under An Honghan's coercion, it finally opened its pointed mouth tremblingly and said, "There's a mechanism on the other side of the cave."
Her delicate, tearful voice sent chills down Xi Xizhi's spine.
She truly lives up to her reputation as a vixen; her every word and action exudes allure.
Xi Xizhi carefully examined the white fox for a while, thinking to herself, "It's a good thing it hasn't transformed into human form yet, otherwise who could resist its charm?"
I wonder what she looks like, being a fox spirit?
Isn't it said that fox spirits are naturally alluring and are top-tier beauties?
"Master Feng, how is it able to speak human language while in beast form?" This was a question that had been lingering in Xi Xizhi's mind.
She had tried many ways to speak before, but all of them ended in failure.
Master Feng was also puzzled, "Perhaps there was some kind of opportunity..."
With a deep gaze fixed on the white fox, Master Feng frowned and continued, "Explain yourself."
After being intimidated by An Honghan, the white fox had no choice but to honestly confess, "It is... the Demon Transformation Fruit."
The Demon-Transforming Fruit will indeed cause them to fall into the path of demons.
However, at the same time, it also has another effect, which is that it greatly increases their demonic power, so that they can speak even without taking human form.
The white fox's cultivation level increased so rapidly because it ate a Demon Transformation Fruit every day.
The white fox explained everything in detail.
I see……
However, Xi Xizhi would never do something like consuming a demon-transforming fruit just to speak earlier. Her path was undoubtedly to ascend to immortality; sacrificing something small for something big would be utterly unwise.
"Give directions".
After listening to the white fox explain the effects of the Demon Transformation Fruit, An Honghan said coldly.
The words "give directions" implied that they wouldn't loosen the net binding the white fox, leaving it no chance to escape. It must be said that, at times, An Honghan's calculations were remarkably ingenious.
Xi Xizhi secretly admired him, thinking that he truly deserved to be the ruler of a country.
Master Feng carried the white fox and walked ahead, following the fox's directions as they made their way out.
Xi Xizhi and An Honghan walked behind together, keeping a certain distance from Master Feng.
As soon as the three stepped out of the cave, the Imperial Guards immediately turned their gazes toward them.
When they saw the fox wrapped in Master Feng's arms, they all showed excited expressions.
As expected of a highly skilled expert invited by His Majesty! His methods are extraordinary!
With just one move, the demon was subdued.
Seeing everyone's happy expressions, An Honghan coldly said, "Don't be too happy yet, there's more than just the White Fox demon here."
Everyone felt as if they had been doused with cold water, their smiles frozen on their faces.
What?
More than one?
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" The imperial guard who had led the way for them earlier stepped forward again and asked.
An Honghan is not the type to answer every question. Moreover, he has an extremely strong desire to control his authority and hates anyone who dares to disobey him.
His gaze swept coldly over him, and he said, "All Imperial Guards, listen to my command."
As soon as An Honghan finished speaking, rows of Imperial Guards stood neatly in front of them, each one standing at attention.
"From this moment forward, surround the bottom of Broken Heart Cliff. No one is allowed to enter. Report any disturbance immediately."
To prevent the half-demon from escaping, some precautions must be taken.
"Let's hurry and find Old Man Xu." Xi Xizhi tugged at An Honghan's sleeve, signaling him to hurry up. They had already wasted a lot of time in the cave, and if they delayed any longer, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"All of you, stay alert and guard this place well. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you all responsible." An Honghan flicked his robes, turned around, and left with Xi Xizhi.
Guided by the white fox, An Honghan and the others arrived at the other end of the cave.
The area is lush with vegetation and quite secluded.
It's hard to spot the hole that's more than half a meter high unless you look closely.
The cave was hidden by the dense foliage, with only a small part of it showing.
“This is it. I always enter through the cave in front, but the Lord takes this path.”
She and her lord always walked separately, for fear of attracting attention and causing unnecessary trouble.
"Let's go in and take a look." An Honghan brushed aside the surrounding weeds and took the lead.
Master Feng wanted to rush ahead, but since His Majesty had already gone in, he dared not go against his wishes.
The light in this cave is much brighter, and the route is not as winding as before.
Master Feng held the white fox in one arm and the demon-detecting mirror in the other, illuminating the way ahead.
Xi Xizhi was filled with worry for Old Man Xu's safety and hurriedly followed An Honghan.
But soon they discovered that the road ahead had disappeared, leaving only dusty mountain walls all around.
"Where is the headquarters?" An Honghan asked coldly.
