"Owner..."
"I've brought the person back..."
After leaving Tianqiong Continent, Long Xu quickly brought Ah Li back to the Misty Sect.
At this moment, standing before Xu Chengyu, the aura of a killing god had long since vanished, and he bowed with eyes full of respect.
This left Ahri, who was standing to the side, completely shocked.
She hadn't expected that the person who commanded such respect from Senior Longxu was so young.
His handsome face looked almost identical to mine.
However, that otherworldly and detached temperament is not something that ordinary cultivators can possess.
Xu Chengyu nodded and turned his gaze to Ah Li, whose nine white tails swayed slowly behind her.
The nine-tailed fox's innate allure was so captivating that even Xu Chengyu couldn't help but exclaim that she was a demon.
That was a gentle charm that emanated from her very bones, and even Nangong Yuan in her current state was far inferior to her.
"Ah Li, from now on you will become my disciple."
Xu Chengyu's sudden voice stirred a flicker of anticipation in Ah Li's heart.
He originally thought that after arriving at the Misty Sect, he would follow Long Xu, but unexpectedly he became Xu Chengyu's disciple directly.
Ah Li was well aware of what it meant that even a casual remark from this being could shake the entire Tianqiong Continent.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ahri knelt down directly in the direction of Xu Chengyu.
"senior..."
"Thank you for your high regard, senior. Ahri will not let you down."
This act of kneeling was not only a tribute to the future master-disciple relationship between the two, but also to Xu Chengyu's life-saving grace.
It's unclear why such a person would cross the continent to a small demon realm to rescue himself.
But if Long Xu hadn't appeared, not only her, but the entire Fire Fox Clan would have long since ceased to exist.
From the moment she became conscious, Ahri remembered the Fire Fox Clan Chief's teaching that she must always learn to be grateful.
After kowtowing three times, Ahri felt a gentle spiritual force lift her up.
Before Xu Chengyu could speak further, Ah Li immediately thought of the bronze coffin that the Fire Fox Clan Chief had given her earlier.
Even a being like Long Xu, at the peak of the Immortal King realm, couldn't open it, which speaks volumes about the power of the seal within.
Only an Immortal Emperor could break through an Emperor-level restriction.
"Master..."
"Ah Li has one more small request, and I hope you can help with it."
As Ahri spoke, a thought flashed through her mind, and soon the bronze coffin appeared in her palm.
Xu Chengyu was somewhat surprised when he heard that even Long Xu couldn't open this bronze coffin.
But he didn't think much of it and just reached out his hand to guide her.
A dark, chaotic power instantly enveloped the bronze coffin.
The previously dim nine-tailed fox totem was relit.
In less than a moment, a crisp sound suddenly echoed in the hall.
A flash of light appeared on the bronze coffin lid, and then it slowly opened.
A stream of scarlet blood essence emerged.
"This is the life essence of the Nine-Tailed Fox..."
Xu Chengyu withdrew his gaze and spoke.
"It seems this was left to you by one of the Nine-Tailed Foxes."
Although they didn't explicitly say who it was, they all knew in their hearts that it was very likely left behind by Ahri's parents.
After all, the separation of one's life essence would have a huge impact on one's cultivation, and it is almost impossible for someone other than a close relative to make such a sacrifice.
Beside the source of one's life essence, there is a spirit stone that shimmers with a dim light.
Seemingly sensing something, it quickly and slowly moved in the direction of Ahri.
The spirit stone slowly shattered the moment Ahri reached out to touch it.
The gentle light quickly transformed into a line of words, appearing in sight.
"Ah Li, when you open the bronze coffin, it means you have found a way to protect yourself."
"The prophecy of the high priest of our clan has come true. It won't be long before the entire barbaric world descends into chaos."
"Crisis is an opportunity, and chaos is the beginning of a golden age."
"We're sorry we can't be by your side anymore. We hope you'll take good care of yourself from now on..."
Upon seeing this, the words quickly dissipated into the space.
Ahri's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She knew very well that her parents cared about her.
The fact that they've gone to such great lengths to send themselves away from the clan suggests that something must have happened within the Nine-Tailed Fox clan that forced them to leave.
She'll go back eventually.
When Xu Chengyu saw these words, he immediately thought of what had happened in the Void Forbidden Land.
The chaotic era prophesied by the Nine-Tailed High Priest is very likely the arrival of the Demon Race.
The start of the Golden Age means that it won't be long before the entire Savage World falls into turmoil.
More opportunities will arise, and those long-forgotten ruins and secret realms will have more chances to reappear.
Xu Chengyu is very clear about his only main mission: to unlock as many rewards as possible within the remaining fifty years.
Once he can break through to the Divine Realm, he alone will be enough to protect the entire Misty Sect.
He hadn't seen the scenery of the last century yet.
Thinking of this, Xu Chengyu quickly calmed his emotions and, without further thought, began to help Ahri refine the life essence.
