Yuan Qi felt like Tu Shan was complaining to her, feeling wronged.
"You don't need to be polite with them. They're just a bunch of despicable and shameless people fighting for power and profit." Tu Shanli's human form was about to give way. He was barely holding on, switching back and forth between his human and fox faces. His former ethereal appearance was completely gone.
Yuan Qi felt a little sorry for him. Tu Shan was a strong-willed person and had never thought about revenge or power struggles. He should have been the patriarch of the Tu Shan clan, but now he was just doing some small business. These people still wouldn't let him go, which was really too much.
She said gently, "Don't force yourself. Just rest. I'll handle these people."
Tu Shanli shrank back to her nine-tailed fox form.
The five people opposite him sneered. Although they could tell that Yuan Qi was a celestial master with some skill, they might not be able to defeat him in a one-on-one fight, but if the five of them joined forces, the outcome was uncertain.
The gray-haired man at the head of the group asked Yuan Qi, "Little Celestial Master, I advise you to leave quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite. You alone are no match for us, and even if another one comes, they might not be able to defeat us. We don't want to kill you, nor do we want to offend the people above."
"Is that so?" Yuan Qi remained unmoved. She rotated her wrist, and with a slight flick of her sword tip, the longsword was enveloped in a layer of golden light. "You've been bullying my friend like this, so I don't want to let you off the hook. Today, I swear I won't rest until I've beaten you to the ground."
The red-haired woman spoke fiercely: "Little girl, you're asking for death."
Five foxes flew into the air and attacked Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi knew that ordinary moves would not be able to deal with these people, so he simply sheathed his sword and directly unleashed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, burning their fur off!
She soared high into the air, dodging the first wave of attacks from the group, and unleashed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire from above.
The foxes, who had cultivated for thousands of years, had never seen anyone use the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, but they had heard of it.
The Red Lotus Karmic Fire can burn away all sins; it would be incredibly easy to reduce a mere little fox to ashes.
The five people dared not underestimate Yuan Qi. The red-haired woman said angrily, "No wonder she was so fearless; it turns out she has the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and a barrier!"
The five of them worked together to create a very sturdy barrier. Clusters of flames of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire landed on the barrier, as if they couldn't get in.
The middle-aged man with gray hair said smugly, "After all, the young girl is still young, and she's not very skilled at using the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, so its power isn't great. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble..."
The others also expressed their agreement, and one of them said, "If this little girl cultivates for a few more years, she might become a formidable enemy. While she's still young, we might as well kill her to prevent her from continuing to help Tushan in the future."
"Yes, that's right!"
"Let's do it this way!"
The group discussed how to deal with Yuan Qi, their faces contorted with ferocious smiles, and they were even preparing to unleash their ultimate moves.
The red lotus flames outside the barrier were getting smaller and smaller, one cluster at a time.
Several foxes laughed, and the red-haired woman mocked Yuan Qi: "Little girl, let us make this clear beforehand. If you don't stop, don't blame us for bullying you. Tell us, how do you want to die? Considering you have some skill, we'll let you choose your method."
Yuan Qi made a gentle blowing motion, and the red lotus karmic fire outside the barrier suddenly grew much larger, and the fire became fierce in an instant.
The originally very solid barrier suddenly developed a large and thick crack, and then a large part of the barrier was burned away, and clusters of red lotus karmic fire fell from the dome.
Five foxes squealed and hopped about, trying to escape the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
"Why did it suddenly get bigger, little girl? Children who play with fire will wet the bed. Hurry up and put the fire away."
The barrier vanished completely, and the crimson karmic fire rained down like raindrops. The five foxes fled frantically, and even the group of red-haired women were burned. She screamed in agony, and in the blink of an eye, her nine tails appeared.
"Oh no, my tail is on fire."
"Your hair is on fire too..."
"Run!"
"Little Celestial Master, spare me! I dare not do it again..."
...
Several foxes began to beg for mercy.
Yuan Qi did not withdraw the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. He watched as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire burned the entire bodies of the people before finally withdrawing the flames.
But it was too late. The five foxes' fur was burned off, and their flesh was also burned. The air was filled with the smell of roasted meat.
The injuries sustained by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire were extremely severe and difficult to treat with ordinary medicine. Moreover, the scars left behind could not be removed by any medication.
These five foxes will become extremely ugly in the future.
Once the foxes realized how powerful Yuan Qi was, their arrogance vanished instantly. The five of them transformed back into their nine-tailed fox forms and knelt before Yuan Qi, begging for mercy.
Yuan Qi said irritably, "If you dare to bully my friends again, I'll roast you and eat you. Get lost."
The five foxes fled frantically, fearing that if they were too slow, Yuan Qi would roast and eat them.
"Seventh Sister!"
"Yuan Qi!"
Bai Youhui and Xiangli Youming jumped off their horses before they even stopped. They were terribly worried when they saw the fire burning half the sky.
Everyone felt that something must have happened to Yuan Qi.
"Are you alright?" Bai Youhui pulled Yuan Qi's arm and spun him around. Seeing that Yuan Qi was perfectly fine, even his hair was in perfect condition, he felt relieved.
No, what if there are internal injuries?
Bai Youhui, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Are you alright?"
Xiangli Youming looked at her with concern: "How are you? Can you speak?"
Yuan Qi shook off Bai Youhui: "I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong with me, but the fox is badly injured."
She formed a hand seal and cast a purification spell, instantly making the fox fur on the ground spotless.
Yuan Qi squatted down to examine Tu Shanli's injuries. There was a rather large wound on her chest that needed to be stitched up, but this place didn't seem suitable for treatment. However, Tu Shanli couldn't withstand any more turmoil, so she simply carried Tu Shanli into the City God Temple.
He took out tools for treating external injuries from the cloth bag and treated Tu Shanli's wounds.
It took a long time to bandage Tu Shanli's wound.
"Didn't they say something happened in Tushan? Where is Tushan?" Bai Youhui had already looked around but couldn't find any trace of Tushan. He was very angry. "Could it be that he saw it was dangerous here and abandoned you and ran away?"
Yuan Qi glanced at him, as if he were an idiot: "There are nine-tailed foxes in Tushan."
Xiangli Youming also looked down on him: "How stupid! Can't you tell this is Tushanli?"
Bai Youhui curled his lip and said sarcastically to Xiangli Youming, "Stop pretending. I know you too well. You probably didn't recognize me just now either."
"Let's go back." Yuan Qi picked up Tu Shanli and walked out.
Xiangli Youming took Tushanli from him and carried him himself. It wasn't that he was afraid of tiring Yuan Qi, but mainly because Tushanli was so handsome and a man, and men and women shouldn't touch each other.
