Fox Tribe
The little fox barked softly, and seeing Ye Jing'an still approaching, it swung its claws and rushed forward.
"Oh, it's quite fierce." Ye Jing'an gripped the hilt of the sword tightly. After a few rounds, the little fox was kicked away by Ye Jing'an. Ye Jing'an dodged it with a smile.
"Hurry up and catch it." Liu Muzhe rushed towards the little fox, but in the blink of an eye, the little fox lying on the ground disappeared.
"Where did you go? Why did you suddenly disappear?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"Go back and inform the authorities. I guess a large group of people will be coming soon." Liu Muzhe sighed helplessly.
"You're here just in time. I want to see how powerful this fox cub who chased away Brother Liu and my ancestors is." Ye Jing'an has become much more confident since he chased away the man in black last time.
Liu Muze: "..."
Ye Jingan sat on the ground and took out the steamed buns from his bag and handed them to Liu Muze: "Brother Liu, let's sit here and wait for them to come. Eat something so that you can have the strength to fight later."
"Just don't drag me back later. They have many tricks to scare people." Liu Muzhe suffered a lot in the past. He learned many of his tricks in fighting from the fox clan.
"How could that be? I'm very capable now and I will definitely not be a drag." Ye Jing'an said with a smile.
"That would be great." Liu Muzhe chuckled twice. Ye Jingan would be in trouble if they fought later.
If he stepped into their territory, a fight was inevitable, and he was sure to be captured. It was just a matter of how. Liu Muze recalled the last time he was captured. It was truly humiliating. It would be best if he didn't get as embarrassed this time. Last time, he was just an ordinary person in his twenties. Now, he was a terrestrial immortal who had given up his ascension, so he had to be more respectful when he was captured.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the rustling of leaves could be heard all around. Liu Muzhe warned, "They are coming. Be careful."
"What's the point of hiding? Come out and fight!" Ye Jing'an put the half-eaten steamed bun back into his bag, raised his sword and swung it towards the wind-swaying treetops. The strong wind blew the dead leaves towards the tree trunks.
The shrill laughter of foxes echoed from all directions. Several little foxes emerged from behind a tree trunk. The leading fox slowly transformed into a humanoid form. "Why are you invading my fox territory?"
"You have no place to live because there are only trees here. Who wants to compete with you for land? We have something to ask you to take care of. Please lead the way." Ye Jing'an said in a gentle voice.
"Can we, the person in charge, see you whenever you want? Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude." said the fox.
"People who can become humans speak differently." Ye Jingan chuckled and said, "What will happen if I don't leave?"
"You don't know what's good for you." The fox took out a long whip and lashed at Ye Jing'an. After a few rounds, the fox's previous arrogance was greatly reduced by Ye Jing'an. He panted slightly and stared at the two of them warily.
"We are not here to cause trouble. Take us to find your person in charge." Ye Jing'an retracted his sword.
"Let's go together!" shouted the fox.
These foxes were able to coordinate their attacks and their attack speed was so fast that Ye Jingan was clearly at a disadvantage. He had to use his hands and feet to barely block the attacks from all sides. "No?! We're all in your territory, why are you still using your numbers to bully the weak?"
Liu Muze stepped forward and grabbed the shadows that surrounded and attacked Ye Jingan, pinching the back of the neck of a little fox: "Stop it."
The fox, transformed into a human, stared at Liu Muze, feeling that he was familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Seeing the little fox being caught by Liu Muze struggling frantically for help, he said, "Put him down first."
"Okay, take us to see your manager." Liu Muzhe said.
"What's the matter?" asked the fox.
"You fox people killed several humans and couldn't even find their bodies. We came to look for them." Liu Muzhe said.
"You're slandering us! We foxes have always followed the rules. We won't hurt anyone unless we're provoked." The fox said, "Two humans came to provoke us back then, but we were let go after they apologized. How could we possibly hurt someone so easily?"
"That person seems to look somewhat similar to you." The fox looked at Liu Muze carefully, his eyes suddenly widened and said, "Eh? Aren't you the one who caused trouble back then? After so many years, how are you still alive?"
"I want to see your Commander Yi." Liu Muzhe said.
"How dare you come again." The fox sneered, "Okay, follow me."
"You agree now?" Ye Jing'an felt that the normal procedure should be to have a fight and defeat them. They would have no choice but to obey and go to see the person in charge.
He felt that these cunning fox cubs must be up to something. Ye Jing'an stared at them intently and saw that the fox in human form winked at one of the little foxes. Ye Jing'an came close to Liu Muze and whispered to him that something was wrong.
"I know, but there is no other way. They don't dare to do anything to me anyway." Liu Muzhe said lightly.
"You are a terrestrial immortal and I am not. Are you planning to use me as your target?" Ye Jing'an said speechlessly.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Liu Muzhe patted his shoulder.
After walking around for a short distance, the fox came to a big tree and said to Liu Muze with a strange smile, "Please come in."
"What are you laughing at? Blow us up?" Ye Jing'an held Liu Muzhe back and stopped him from entering.
"Believe it or not." The fox snorted and burrowed into the tree trunk.
"It's okay. We've already entered someone else's territory. We'll be caught sooner or later." Liu Muzhe said calmly.
"Brother Liu, you are really open-minded. Can't we be tougher?" Ye Jing'an said.
"Are you as powerful as your ancestors? If you dare to say you are, we will just pick up our swords and fight them. If not, just shut up. Your ancestors and I combined can't beat them." Liu Muzhe said.
Ye Jingan: “…”
Liu Muzhe pulled Ye Jing'an into the tree trunk. Ye Jing'an felt his body lighten. When he opened his eyes again, it was a completely different scene. Various spiritual herbs were growing on the ground, and the elegant fragrance of flowers and fruits came towards him. Many little foxes were playing and fighting. When they saw strangers entering, they hid and looked at the two people curiously.
"It's still the same here as it was back then." Liu Muzhe and Ye Chenyi were surrounded and beaten by a group of foxes in the open space in front. Their clothes were torn to shreds, with fabrics falling here and there, and their hair was messy.
Ye Chenyi was not only the continent's number one demon hunter, but also a renowned handsome man who always paid attention to his appearance. It was the first time Liu Muze had seen Ye Chenyi in such a state of disgrace. However, before he could even laugh at Ye Chenyi's joke, he was also beaten to death.
There were simply too many foxes from the fox tribe, constantly pouncing on them. Just as Liu Muze was thinking, a large group of foxes came towards them from a distance.
"Brother Liu, there are too many foxes coming..." Ye Jing'an was really nervous now. He thought that so many foxes could crush the two of them to death.
"Well, that's not much." Liu Muzhe said calmly.
The leading foxes transformed into human form and walked in front of Liu Muze. One of the white foxes said contemptuously, "Okay, it's really you! Catch them!"
"Hey? Wait!" Ye Jing'an pointed his sword at them. "How do you entertain guests like this? Are you foxes so rude?"
"Guests?" The foxes roared with laughter. "Last time you came to our tribe to cause trouble, Grandmother mercifully let you go. Who knew you would actually steal our clan's secret techniques? Now you dare to come to our fox tribe again? You're really asking for your own death!"
"Who stole your stuff?" Ye Jing'an said disdainfully, "Brother Liu has plenty of treasures. Why would he need to steal yours? That's ridiculous. Stop accusing us of something we don't need!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Catch him and hand him over to the master for disposal!" said the white fox.
Seeing no room for negotiation, Ye Jing'an and Liu Muze brandished their swords and engaged them in a fight. Liu Muze recalled that when he last came, Ye Chenyi had very little cloth left on his body, barely covering his flesh, let alone any secret techniques. So why did the Fox Clan accuse them of stealing?
Fortunately, there weren't many foxes this time, and Liu Muze had dealt with them before, so he clearly had the upper hand this time. The white fox standing nearby watched the foxes being beaten back one by one, frowning slightly. It rushed forward and circled Ye Jing'an and Liu Muze several times, so fast that Ye Jing'an couldn't even see where it was. After swinging its sword a few times without hitting him, Ye Jing'an was dazzled by the spinning and annoyed, yelling, "Get out!"
Just as he was about to rush out, he heard Liu Muze shout, "Don't breathe!"
Ye Jing'an immediately held his breath, but was choked by the white fox's sneak attack. When he wasn't paying attention, he smelled a fragrance. Ye Jing'an pinched his nose subconsciously, but it was too late. His body began to weaken from head to toe. When he was about to speak for help, he found that he couldn't even make a sound.
Ye Jingan fell down in a daze.
"Ye Jing'an!" Liu Muzhe swung his sword fiercely, knocking away the fox that was blocking them, and ran towards Ye Jing'an.
"Stand there!" Bahu put his knife against Ye Jing'an's neck, "Put down the sword."
Liu Muzhe glared at him and put the sword aside without hesitation.
"Take him away!" said the white fox.
"Give me the antidote. Even without the sword, I can still disturb your peace." Liu Muzhe said.
The white fox snorted coldly. He truly didn't doubt the truth of Liu Muze's words. Back then, he had wielded a sword and shattered the Fox Clan. Thousands of years had passed, and he was still able to bring trouble to the Fox Clan with the same appearance as before. His strength and methods must have far surpassed those of before.
"It's okay to give him the antidote. You'd better behave yourself. Do you really think my fox clan is some kind of tourist attraction where we can come and go as we please?" The white fox swept its tail across Ye Jing'an's face, "Take him away!"
Ye Jing'an squinted at the white fox and opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out. He suspected that the antidote might be a trick, and hurriedly winked at Liu Muze.
Liu Muze watched his eyes roll for a long time, probably understanding what he wanted to express, and patted Ye Jingan on the shoulder: "It's okay, I guess it will take a while before we can talk."
Ye Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief. Being carried away by a group of fox cubs was not bad treatment, so he closed his eyes and lay down like a boss with peace of mind.
