"To be precise, it's about the unspeakable secret of your fox clan. Your eldest brother died because of this."
She paused, then turned to Jiu Ming and added:
"And you, or should I call you 'Jing Mo'."
As soon as these words came out, Jiu Ming's suspicious eyes froze for a moment, and then the sharp eyes that seemed to see through people's souls stared at her intently:
"What did you call me?!"
Shen Wuyou did not answer, but continued:
"Including your mistaken belief that Lan Chen leaked and exaggerated the story of the cat tribe's nine tails, I also saw the truth from his memories. So I can tell you very clearly that the cat tribe's demise is related to the fox tribe, but Lan Chen's original intention was not to do so. He never intended to tell others about the confidential conversations between close friends.
"Jing Mo, he is innocent. He was worried about you until his death, worried about his only best friend... and his only remaining brother."
Shen Wuyou recounted everything she had seen in detail. Looking at the two demons' constantly changing expressions and increasingly complex and disbelieving eyes, she was met with fierce suspicion and rebuttal, as expected.
Lan Ji was the first to speak up. "If it's really as you say, then why am I no match for Big Brother even after using the forbidden technique? If Father is truly sinister and ruthless, why would he use this forbidden technique on Big Brother instead of gaining supreme power himself?"
"I'm not the inventor of this forbidden technique, so how can I know its secrets?" Shen Wuyou said helplessly. "I can only observe from your elder brother's memories. Perhaps your body is severely damaged, preventing you from fully absorbing this power. Perhaps you need some opportunity, or perhaps some time, to reach your elder brother's level."
There were originally twelve tribes in the Snow Region, large and small. Due to the Fox King's ambition, he used Lan Chen to destroy eight tribes. Now the only four remaining tribes cannot be underestimated.
"As for why the Fox King didn't use the forbidden technique on himself..."
Shen Wuyou speculated:
"I think one reason is that this forbidden technique was used for the first time, and he didn't fully trust it. Naturally, he was unwilling to take the risks involved, so he pushed his own child out to protect him from disaster.
As for these two... forbidden techniques not only steal innate talent and strength, but also vitality. Therefore, regardless of whether the technique succeeds or fails, it always comes at the cost of lifespan and vitality. The evil cultivation techniques gained by burning vitality will only end a person's lifespan. To maintain Lan Chen's vitality, the Fox King took the vitality of other children. As for why only close relatives were required, this was probably the result of Bai Ban's experiments.
She paused at this point, looked at Lan Ji, whose eyes widened, and suggested, "Although these are all speculations, I can guarantee that they are 90% true. If you still can't believe it, why not go and find out the truth and see if it is true."
"Oh, you are encouraging others to create resentment with just these words. You are really powerful!" Jing Mo stood with his arms folded and sneered.
"What's your hurry?" Shen Wuyou smiled meaningfully, looking at him and said, "Aren't you going to avenge the cat clan? There's a rift within the fox clan, so wouldn't that be a good opportunity for you?"
"Or... you simply don't want to find out the truth, you don't want revenge, and you've been making things difficult for the Fox Clan all these years just because you're upset that Lan Chen betrayed you?"
"Ridiculous! I'm so happy that the Fox Tribe has wiped me out!"
"...oh."
"Oh what?! I don't believe you! I don't believe you! Understand?!" He emphasized those words.
She rolled her eyes helplessly and said nonchalantly, "How about a bet? If I win, you give me the Shaying Tower, and if you win, I remove the parasitic seeds?"
"Oh, what a bullshit bet! You won't lose anything, but I'll lose the entire Shaying Tower?"
"What? You're already sure you'll lose before you even bet? Then why are you wasting your words? Just listen."
On the road of angering others, Shen Wuyou is invincible and alone in his pursuit of victory.
"You—damn it!"
Jing Mo choked, furious, wanting to beat her to death right then and there. Then, tragically, he realized the parasitic seed in his body could kill him in an instant. He couldn't hit her or scold her, and holding his breath was practically killing him!
"Oh, thanks for the compliment."
She responded expressionlessly, then turned to look at Lan Ji:
"If you have complete faith in your father, why would you be afraid to give it a try? If you're hesitant now, it means you still have doubts. Why not just follow your heart?
"As for what Jing Mo said just now... Haha, if I really wanted to, why not take us with you? That way, even if I really was deceiving you, I can't escape your Five Finger Mountain, right?"
Lan Ji pondered for a long while after hearing this, and finally looked up at Shen Wuyou, his eyes full of undisguised murderous intent:
"If you dare to lie to me, I will destroy you completely without leaving a trace of your body!"
"Yeah, okay." She answered readily.
Looking at Jing Mo who was sneering at this, she smiled slightly: "I remember that your current cultivation level can hide your tail, right?"
Although it was a question, the tone was very affirmative.
Jing Mo looked at her malicious eyes, and for a moment he felt like the hair on his back was about to explode——
"What are you going to do?!"
"Turn into a cat and join the fox tribe together."
"Impossible! I will never set foot in the Fox Clan again in my life!" He resisted fiercely.
"You want revenge, right? Are you afraid of taking revenge on the wrong person? And being used as a knife by your enemies?" She smiled kindly.
“…”
The fox clan's territory is in Lanting, the Snow Region. It is the most strategic location, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Lan Ji's situation was similar to Lan Chen's at the time; he was also forbidden from leaving the house without permission and from contacting outsiders. Fortunately, Lan Ji was straightforward and easily provoked. The Fox King tested him several times and ultimately determined he was no threat, so he moderately allowed him to go out and cause trouble, thus finding a pretext for war.
