Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Don’t leave your back to...
Some humans simply cannot understand the happiness of wolves. After all, not everyone has a fragrant, white, and fluffy partner.
Jun Zechen had long developed the good habit of being thrifty and frugal. Eating whatever the fox had left over was also an instinct he had inherited from when he was a dog.
He didn't think there was anything wrong, and neither did the fox. However, the shop assistant thought there was a big problem. It didn't seem normal for a human to eat the fox's leftovers.
After dinner, just as Hu Miaomiao and the others were about to leave, they heard a commotion outside: someone was crying, someone was trying to persuade someone. The waiter sighed, "Another one's lost."
Hu Miaomiao pricked up her ears. "Ouch?"
Jun Zechen translated: "What's outside?"
"A missing child... I don't know how many children have been killed. Every family with a child has been killed. Someone reported it to the police a few months ago, but nothing was done in the end..."
Jun Zechen lowered his eyes and looked at Fox. He paid the money and left with Hu Miaomiao in his arms.
She rested her paws on the man's arm and whispered, "Are you still alive?"
"Yes, it must be a human sacrifice." Jun Zechen stroked her fluffy head and comforted her gently, "Don't worry, they will be fine if we kill the old fox."
The little fox rubbed his head against him and said, "It's very painful to lose a loved one."
She had no connection with her blood relatives, but Jun Zechen made her lose them again and again.
The gray cat taught her what life and death meant, and the black wolf taught her what separation meant.
Everyone says that the demon race is cold-blooded and heartless, but Hu Miaomiao wishes her blood were cold so she wouldn't be sad.
She has a strong sense of empathy, and when she puts herself into her past self's shoes, she feels indescribably depressed.
She thought, if someone kidnapped Jun Zechen, she didn't know what they would do.
Just like when she heard that Jun Zechen was disfigured, Hu Miaomiao didn't even dare to think about fighting against the demon catcher before, but anger made her do it.
She licked her paws and said, "Tsk tsk, take care of yourself and don't make me worry." Jun Zechen: "..." Shouldn't he say this to her?
Hu Miaomiao didn't get a response, so he raised his little head and saw that the man had a complicated expression and was unhappily scratching his clothes with his claws.
Fox Badao said, "Speak!"
"Um."
The Domineering Fox and her Little Delicate Wolf returned to the house and quickly became busy.
Because as soon as I entered the door, someone brought a message saying that the prince wanted to see me.
The emperor of the human world has three thousand beauties in his harem, and all of them are beauties with good genes. The prince's appearance is even better. Although he is not as good as a monster, he is also very eye-catching in the human world. Hu Miaomiao secretly looked at this rare species, and was immediately covered by Jun Zechen's eyes.
She tried to pry his hand away, but the man's hand was like a welded cage. After trying for a long time, she couldn't see anything. Hu Miaomiao had to give up and listen to their conversation.
In reality, it was a plan for the full moon night. The location where the old fox planned to sacrifice the young boys and girls had been found. There was a tunnel under the emperor's bedroom leading to the cold palace, and the altar was located in the deserted cold palace.
Most of the guards in the palace have been replaced by the prince's men. They only need to go and stop it on that day. The problem now is that they have not found the boys and girls who were taken away.
Hundreds of people seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, without a trace at all.
The prince said, "I suspect it was some kind of sorcery used by the Imperial Master."
Even if they used sorcery, it would be impossible to hide so many people overnight. The only way was to wait for the old fox to reveal a flaw when the sacrifice began.
Hu Miaomiao had a serious fox face and listened to their conversation in a serious manner, secretly fiddling with the key in his sea of consciousness.
Monsters cannot hide people, but artifacts can.
--
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the full moon day. Dark clouds cover the bright moon, and this night is particularly cold and depressing.
The prey that had been secretly awaited for a long time finally arrived. The orderly footsteps hurried through the night, surrounding the entire palace.
The emperor, who always paid attention to health preservation, broke his usual habit today and did not go to bed early. Instead, he rested with his eyes closed. Until there was a loud bang, the palace door was kicked open, and the eunuchs shouted noisily: "Your Highness, His Majesty has gone to bed, you...ah!"
A scream rang out, blood splattered on the floor, and the old emperor suddenly opened his eyes. His cloudy eyes revealed a hint of panic, "My son, what are you doing?"
The Crown Prince, clad in battle armor and holding a long sword, was followed by a large group of warriors. His face was filled with sorrow as he said, "Father, I cannot bear to see you make the same mistake over and over again."
"How dare you! Are you trying to rebel? Come, protect me! Protect me!"
The old emperor was completely panicked when he saw this situation. You know, he has been obsessed with the elixir of immortality all these years because he was greedy for power and afraid of death. Now the elixir of immortality has not been completed yet, and his son had already planned a rebellion!
How could he not panic?
He wanted to ask for help and look for his former guard, but when he looked back, there was no one behind him. The mysterious national teacher was at the critical moment of refining the immortal pill and could not take care of him at all.
On the other side, Hu Miaomiao and the other demon landed silently on the roof of the cold palace. In the center of the courtyard, there was a huge altar with strange patterns on it. Just looking at it made people dizzy.
The fox tribe's long-lost high priestess was wearing a dark purple hat and holding a scepter. A palm-sized golden mirror in the shape of a teardrop floated in front of her.
She muttered something, and as she spoke, the golden power emitted from the mirror slowly gathered on her. In addition, the runes under the altar were also transmitting power to her.
Jun Zechen's eyes were cold and gloomy. "She wanted to refine the Floating Life Mirror."
"What?" Hu Miaomiao asked in surprise, "Isn't the Floating Life Mirror a divine artifact?"
The Fox God said that the Mirror of Floating Life was born with the gods and should have belonged to her. Since it was hers, how could others refine it?
Jun Zechen said, "The Mirror of Life only recognizes gods, so what if she were to become a god?"
"Ancient records state that thirty thousand years ago, a fox demon lived. Blessed by heaven and earth, she should have cultivated to become an immortal. However, due to her lust for worldly love, she gave up her divine nature and lived with a mortal for a hundred years. Unexpectedly, a hundred years later, when the mortal was about to die, he dug out her demon core, obfuscated the secrets of heaven, and seized her divine nature, transforming into an immortal."
"What about her?"
"The talisman on the ground happens to be the method used by that mortal to block the secrets of heaven. The godhood she wants to seize..."
Jun Zechen hugged the little fox tightly with a cold expression, "I won't let her succeed. Stay here and don't move." He put Hu Miaomiao down and disappeared on the spot.
When he appeared again, he was already in the formation.
The high priestess had long sensed their arrival. Her once aged face regained some vitality, her wrinkles smoothed out, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged woman. The fierceness in her eyes could not be concealed. "Boy, it was you who ruined my good fortune back then. Why do you have to pick on me?"
The demon race has a long lifespan, but she was the only one who got retaliated against for trying to peek into the secrets of heaven. She should have accepted her fate.
But a fox that was born different, born with a magical weapon and will become a god in the future, gave her hope.
The fox was so young that she could easily control it.
So, she put aside the prophecy and with just a few words changed the fate of a fox that was supposed to become a god according to God's will, turning it into a disaster that all foxes hated.
She took away the unformed Floating Life Mirror from the fox cub's body.
He even greedily seized her luck.
If she didn't want to conceal the truth from Heaven, she should have dealt with her quickly. How could she have allowed her to survive until now?
Everything was planned well. He just had to wait for the fox to grow up and then take the opportunity to devour her soul and replace her.
Unexpectedly, a mad dog appeared out of nowhere, ruined all her plans, and released the little fox under her control.
Her face was grim. "We have no grudges against each other. Why do you have to offend me for a fox? You'd better think carefully about the consequences of offending a god."
"God?" The man's black robes transformed into tough armor, his unruly black hair flowing behind him without a breeze. His cold and handsome face seemed to come from the god of war in heaven, and the storm and murderous intent in his eyes made him look like a demon from hell. A sneer lingered on his lips, "You are worthy of this?"
His arms suddenly extended into a pair of fist blades, like three wolf claws, about as slender as a dagger, and its sharpness was still difficult to conceal even in the dark environment. He suddenly appeared behind the old fox, and the fist blades were wrapped in a strong wind and blew fiercely. The air seemed to be torn into a rift, and crackling sparks flew everywhere.
The old fox looked grim and wanted to dodge, but Jun Zechen's movements were too fast. She was still half a beat slower and only had time to block with her arms.
Blood foam flew everywhere, and her shoulder was torn apart. She turned pale with pain and kept chanting spells while enduring the pain of the broken arm.
However, she was interrupted one after another. Jun Zechen did not give her time to breathe. His attacks were fast and fierce, making it impossible for her to complete the ritual for a while.
No, she must hold on.
Just that little bit!
The old fox gritted his teeth, dodged the attacks, and struggled to make hand gestures with his only remaining hand.
The wind blew through the clouds and mist, and when the first ray of moonlight shone on the altar, a burst of blood light enveloped her and Jun Zechen's bodies.
Jun Zechen's body suddenly paused, his pale green pupils trembling violently, faintly swirling with blood...
Time is up.
The high priest's eyes lit up and he raised his hand to summon the Mirror of Life.
However……
Aside from the blood mist that enveloped them, there was silence.
Floating Mirror?
The high priest turned around in surprise.
The little blue and white fox was holding a floating mirror, which was no bigger than a palm, in its mouth. It was sneaking away on tiptoe with its tail between its legs.
Sensing that something was amiss in the atmosphere, she mechanically turned around and met the high priest's ferocious gaze.
Little fox: “…” There is… murderous intent.
She blinked innocently, and ran away with the Floating Life Mirror in her mouth. She scurried away for a long distance, leaving only a few strands of fox hair floating in the air, as if silently mocking the high priest.
What a shame and humiliation!
"Evil beast! How dare you! Return my Mirror of Life to me!"
The high priestess's eyes were bloodshot, but at this moment she felt a sudden pain in her back, and an arm pierced through her from behind to the front. She vomited blood, stared with her eyes, and turned back stiffly.
The man's expression was hidden in the darkness, and his voice was like a demon in the night, like a gust of cold wind. "Don't leave your back to the enemy."
Otherwise, there is only one word to end up with - death.
The high priestess's skin was wrinkled and aged with visible wrinkles. Her eyes were bloodshot, and the blood at the corners of her mouth was flowing more and more. She trembled her lips and murmured silently: No...
It shouldn't be like this, she can't die... She hasn't become a god yet, she is going to become a god.
In the red light, her figure fell to the ground with a bang. The light of the formation gradually dimmed, but the scarlet blood mist seeped into the man's body.
Drops of blood dripped from the fingertips, and the originally green pupils were replaced by scarlet.
