The next morning, Li Molin and the others got up one after another and headed towards Fox Plain.
Liuli, who was sleeping soundly with her back against the tree trunk, opened her eyes when she heard the sound. She stretched in the warm morning sun, then floated up and followed behind Li Molin and the others.
Soon, the group arrived at Fox Plain. At that time, many white foxes had just woken up. Some lay lazily among the wild grass, while some little white foxes gathered in twos and threes to chase and play, making the whole Fox Plain look peaceful and harmonious, with a warm atmosphere.
The white foxes mostly watched Li Molin and his group with curiosity as they passed by, while some of the young white foxes simply followed behind them, looking up at them with curiosity all the way.
Li Molin led more than ten men in black directly to the low hill where the six-tailed white fox lived. Li Molin bowed slightly and said, "Senior, this junior has come to bother you again."
The six-tailed white fox slowly opened her eyes, glanced at him, and then lazily closed them again, completely ignoring him.
Li Molin pursed his thin lips, a flash of anger in his eyes. He suppressed his anger and went straight to the point: "Senior, you should know that the peaceful life of your fox clan is actually very precarious. As long as this Fox Plain is exposed to the eyes of the Central Plains humans, it will attract countless troubles. Even if you have never harmed humans, senior has not forgotten the 'Fox Calamity' incident in ancient times, has he? Buddhism and your fox clan are sworn enemies. Although Taoism has declined now, there are still many powerful cultivators who do not appear in the world. If they know about the existence of the Fox Plain, they will definitely be interested in capturing a nine-tailed fox to use as a mount, right?"
"With your clan's strength, will you be able to withstand all the human cultivators in the Central Plains?"
"Senior, do you really think Fox Plains is a secret? Then how do you know about Fox Plains, since we demons have lived in the north for so long and cannot set foot in the Central Plains?"
"Could it be that you think we juniors just stumbled upon Fox Plains by chance?"
The six-tailed white fox twitched its head slightly. Indeed, the demons had long resided in the north, and even setting foot in the Central Plains was extremely difficult for them. How could they know about the Fox Plains? She had been pondering this question since yesterday, and her heart was filled with doubt.
But after a moment of silence, she remained unmoved.
At this moment, Liuli, who had transformed into a white fox, hopped over and leaned against the six-tailed white fox, looking up at Li Molin with a provocative gaze.
Li Molin glanced at her, a smile flashing in his eyes.
He squatted down and earnestly said, "Senior, our Demon Clan only seeks to form an alliance with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to advance and retreat together. If one day we truly conquer the Central Plains, we will naturally coexist peacefully with the Fox Clan. At that time, the people of the Fox Clan can freely set foot in any part of the Central Plains, and no human will ever harm you!"
The six-tailed white fox remained unmoved, but Li Molin noticed a glint in the glassy eyes of the fox beside him, as if it was quite fascinated by his words about casually setting foot in the Central Plains.
Li Molin's heart stirred.
Seeing that the six-tailed white fox remained silent, Li Molin felt helpless. He frowned and said, "Senior, could you tell me what you are worried about?"
The six-tailed white fox smiled mockingly, looked up at him, and said calmly, "Humans cannot be trusted, and you demons are even less worthy of being associated with."
Li Molin's expression changed, and he could no longer hide his anger. He said in a low, cold voice, "Senior, have you considered that if you refuse to form an alliance with my Demon Clan today, the first thing my Demon Clan will do after conquering the Central Plains is to slaughter the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?"
The six-tailed white fox chuckled coldly and said indifferently, "We'll see about that later. Liuli, you should send them away."
At that moment, Liuli was still thinking about Li Molin's words about being able to freely traverse any territory in the Central Plains. Seeing that they hadn't reached an agreement, she became anxious and called out softly, "Grandmother..."
"Liuli!" The six-tailed white fox stared coldly at Liuli.
When Liuli saw that she was truly angry, her heart clenched, and she could only nod and reply, "Yes, Grandmother."
Seeing this, Li Molin had no intention of saying anything more. His face darkened with anger, and he stood up with a flick of his sleeve, saying in a cold voice, "Let's go."
The dozen or so men in black had unfriendly expressions, snorted a few times, and turned to follow behind Li Molin.
Liuli transformed into a woman and followed them from a distance. She pouted and thought unhappily, "Why won't my grandmother agree to this? If only the fox clan could roam freely in the Central Plains one day, it would be much better than staying in this fox plain every day."
"Young Master of the Demon Clan!" The six-tailed white fox suddenly spoke, causing Li Molin and the others to stop in their tracks. Even Liuli, thinking she had changed her mind, turned around and looked at her expectantly. However, the six-tailed white fox simply said indifferently, "If you reveal the matter of Fox Plains to humans after you leave today, I will definitely go to the Northern Lands and demand an explanation!"
Li Molin's face turned cold, his expression somber, and he continued walking into the forest with a grim face. A frail-looking man in black approached him from behind and said in a low voice, "Young Master, what if we spread the news about Fox Plains? The Fox Clan will be overwhelmed just dealing with the righteous sects, how could they possibly have time to go to the Northern Lands? Besides, even if she goes, are we afraid of her?"
As Li Molin walked, he kept his head down and pondered for a long time. Then he said in a low voice, "Never mind, we'll probably need the fox clan's help in the future. It's best not to push things too far."
The man lowered his eyes and nodded, saying nothing more.
