"Let me go! You human!"
The black fox's face turned red as it struggled frantically, its limbs flailing wildly in the air while it cursed.
His body surged with black spiritual energy, attempting to break free from Qin Luo's control. However, all his resistance was futile in front of Qin Luo.
Those seemingly ordinary hands were like iron clamps, tightly gripping the black fox clan member. No matter how he twisted or exerted force, he could not break free even a fraction.
The black fox's eyes were bloodshot; the suffocating feeling made him realize death was approaching. "You, you dare touch me? I... I am a member of the fox clan. If you dare to harm even a hair on my head, the fox clan will never let you go!"
Ignoring his threat, Qin Luo remained expressionless, his gaze calmly falling on the middle-aged fox clan man and girl nearby, and asked in a light tone, "How much do you know about the fox clan?"
This sudden question instantly jolted the middle-aged man out of his daze of shock. He trembled, quickly composed himself, and though lingering fear remained on his face, he hurriedly and respectfully replied:
"Your Excellency, I am the patriarch of the current Lingmeng Huanhu clan. The affairs of the fox clan are complicated, but I still know some of the details."
"If that's the case, then things are much easier..."
After saying this, Qin Luo suddenly released his grip. The moment the black fox-man's feet touched the ground, a look of relief at surviving a close call immediately appeared on his face.
However, before this joy could fully unfold, the next moment Qin Luo made a handshake from a distance.
A terrifying force instantly spread out, and the surrounding space transformed into a soft curtain under the grasp of the void, twisting and deforming as it rapidly enveloped the black fox clan.
The black fox clan felt an irresistible, powerful pressure squeezing in from all directions, and before they could even struggle, they were swallowed up by that space.
"You... Ah!"
Once the distorted space returned to normal, all that could be seen was a flat mass of flesh lying on the ground, emitting a pungent odor that almost made one want to vomit. Mixed in with the flesh were bits of clothing and hair, a scene of utter chaos and a gruesome sight.
Qin Luo remained calm and composed, glancing indifferently at the pool of minced meat, his tone full of disgust, "You almost dirtied my hands."
The middle-aged man and the young girl witnessed this bloody and horrifying scene and were both stunned into silence. The girl instinctively turned her head away, covered her eyes with her hands, and dared not look at the gruesome scene any longer; her body was still trembling with fear.
The middle-aged man was also deeply shocked; the ruthlessness of this young human man far exceeded his expectations.
But recalling the evil deeds the black fox clan had committed against them, the shock in their hearts was quickly replaced by a sense of pleasure.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, and said sincerely with a respectful expression:
"Our benefactor's actions are truly gratifying, eliminating this major threat to our Lingmeng Huanhu lineage. We will never forget such a great kindness."
"I don't want to hear this nonsense. You know what I want: the matter of the fox clan and that... the spot for the Divine Beast Festival."
Qin Luo's gaze was cold as he looked at the middle-aged man, and an invisible aura swept out from him.
He still held onto the impression of the monsters as fierce and brutal, and did not lower his guard because of the seemingly docile and harmless middle-aged man and girl in front of him.
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, the middle-aged man immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly said:
"My benefactor, the Divine Beast Festival is an extremely grand celebration among our divine beasts. Each time it is held, it attracts countless powerful demon beasts and forces from all sides. The places in this festival are extremely precious, and there are many ways to obtain them."
He paused briefly, gathered his thoughts, and continued:
"Some powerful clans or those with divine beast bloodlines will be given a spot. They will then select the most outstanding members of their clans through internal selection. Others will obtain a spot through trading, but this is extremely rare."
Discerning the truthfulness in his words, Qin Luo frowned slightly and pressed further, "Does your fox clan have any quotas?"
The middle-aged man's expression clearly hesitated, a struggle flashed in his eyes, his lips trembled, and he was engaged in a fierce internal battle.
However, when his gaze inadvertently swept over Qin Luo's cold and stern face, and he recalled the ruthless and decisive way Qin Luo had dealt with the Black Fox Clan, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the words of excuse that were on the tip of his tongue were instantly swallowed back.
“Our fox clan in this desolate region has the bloodline of the ancient Qingqiu foxes, and we have been allocated five spots this time,” the middle-aged man hurriedly said, his voice trembling slightly, as if afraid that a single wrong word would bring disaster.
"Five?" Qin Luo narrowed his eyes, a deep thought hidden beneath them.
Five spots are neither a lot nor a little.
Seeing the doubt in Qin Luo's expression, the middle-aged man assumed he was questioning how such a desolate place could possibly have so many spots, and hurriedly explained:
"My benefactor, you may not know this, but the Divine Beast Festival is of extraordinary significance. Once it is held, the ancestral land will be opened. Within that ancestral land lies countless great opportunities, and the most important of them all is the opening of the ancestral pool."
"This ancestral pool is the fastest path for those descendants of top-tier divine beasts to transform. This is because the ancestral pool implements a brutal elimination system, where the winner takes all and the loser will be completely transformed into a part of the ancestral pool, with no chance of survival!"
Qin Luo raised an eyebrow, his expression remaining calm. In a world where the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon, such a cruel elimination mechanism is all too common, and he didn't find it surprising.
