Hu Sanniang knew that the Queen Mother's next move would be to transfer all the cultivation stored in the fox elixir to herself. The Fox King was at the Great Perfection level of the Demon King, and was only one step away from becoming an immortal.
The Qingqiu Fox Clan possesses a secret method that allows a fox demon to pass on the cultivation stored in its fox elixir to its bloodline relatives, provided it so wishes. This is why the Qingqiu Fox Clan has always had so many high-level fox demons.
Although the Fox King had been dead for over two hundred years, her fox core had been well-preserved. While the demonic power within the core was significantly less than it had been in life, it still held approximately 40% to 50%. However, every secret technique came with a price. After using this technique, the fox demon's soul would be shattered, forever unable to reincarnate.
After finally reuniting with her mother and siblings, Hu Sanniang didn't want the Fox King to vanish. She held onto a glimmer of hope. The Nine-Tailed Fox, the ancestor of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, was highly regarded by the Goddess Nuwa. If the Fox King's demon cores were intact, perhaps, after escaping this calamity, the Nine-Tailed Fox, knowing of the clan's suffering, could ask the Goddess Nuwa for the secret method of resurrection?
When the Fox King heard Hu Sanniang say the word "master," he flew into a rage. Their Qingqiu clan was an ancient divine race. When had they ever been a cultivator's pet? The Nine-Tailed Ancestor followed Nuwa because of her special status. Being a divine pet did not disgrace the fox clan. To accept a cultivator as their master was a disgrace to their Qingqiu clan.
"Sanniang, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Have you forgotten your mother's teachings? No matter how hard or difficult it is, we must not disgrace the status of our Qingqiu clan. Yet, you are ashamed to serve as a cultivator's pet?" The Fox King's voice was stern. In his view, Hu Sanniang must have been tricked into signing a master-servant contract by the cultivator. It was no wonder. Their entire clan was wiped out, leaving Sanniang as their sole surviving member. She was so intent on revenge that it was no surprise she'd been deceived. The Fox King had harbored hope, hoping that Hu Sanniang would encounter some great opportunity in the future and avenge her clan against the cultivator.
Hu Sanniang, now a monk's pet, had lost even her own freedom, so how could she possibly have any hope of revenge against the monk? The Fox King was so excited that a dazzling light burst out from his fox pill.
"No! Queen Mother, the Master is very good, truly very good..." Hu Sanniang knew the Fox King's deep resentment towards cultivators, but she didn't know how to explain it to Zhou Yuanyuan. Hu Sanniang had been with Zhou Yuanyuan for so many years, and Zhou Yuanyuan had never taken advantage of her. On the contrary, it was only with the spiritual energy of Zhou Yuanyuan and Xiaoyu that Hu Sanniang healed the cracks in her inner elixir. It was Hu Sanniang who had been eager to seek recognition as her master.
"Sanniang, there's no need to say more. Mother knows the pain in your heart. I only hope that after your cultivation breaks free from the constraints of your master, you can terminate the contract between you. That's all I have to say. Sanniang, take care of yourself!" The Fox King made up his mind to take this opportunity to infuse his demonic power into Hu Sanniang.
There are many kinds of contracts between monks and their spirit pets. Some contracts can be automatically terminated as long as the spirit pet's strength is much higher than that of its master.
The Fox King didn't know what kind of contract Hu Sanniang and Zhou Yuanyuan had made. As a mother, she only wanted her children to be happy all their lives and not be controlled by others.
"Third sister, let me help you."
"Third sister, let me help you."
"Sanniang, we are here to help you"
······
As soon as the Fox King finished speaking, the voices of several fox brothers and sisters on the formation plate rang out at the same time.
The conversations between the Fox King and Hu Sanniang were all conducted through soul transmission. Taoist Master Daoyan didn't know that in the short time since he walked into the hall, the Fox King had already made a decision that made him regret deeply.
Taoist Master Daoyan carried Hu Sanniang to the front of the formation, took out a pitch-black dagger from the storage bag, and was about to kill Hu Sanniang to take out the inner elixir.
On the array plate, the fox king's demon pill suddenly burst out with dazzling light.
The light emanating from the Fox King's demonic elixir had a disorienting effect, catching Dao Yan Zhen Jun off guard. The hand holding the dagger stopped moving, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang. Furthermore, Dao Yan Zhen Jun's other hand let go of Hu Sanniang.
Immediately afterwards, Zhenjun Daoyan was pushed directly away by the strong light bursting out from the Fox King's demon pill.
As Daoyan Zhenjun was pushed forward, the Fox King's bewilderment on him was broken. When Daoyan Zhenjun came to his senses, he found that he was already three feet away from Hu Sanniang.
"Not good!" Daoyan Zhenjun cried out secretly and wanted to rush back to subdue Hu Sanniang again.
On the Seven Star Soul Transformation Formation, the other five fox pills also emitted strong rays of light, which merged with the strong light emitted by the Fox King Demon Pill and wrapped Hu Sanniang from head to toe.
The demonic energy from the six fox pills poured into the demon pill in Hu Sanniang's body, persistently and gently, leaving no room for Hu Sanniang to refuse. In the bright light, Hu Sanniang burst into tears. She knew that when the bright light faded, her mother and her brothers and sisters would completely disappear from this world.
Daoyan Zhenjun stood outside the bright light, filled with anger and resentment. He hadn't expected these fox demons, dead for two hundred years, to still cause such a commotion. While in Daoyan Zhenjun's hands, these fox pills had remained like dead objects, completely motionless.
Although Daoyan Zhenjun didn't know what the Fox Kings were doing, he figured it was something that would benefit Hu Sanniang. Seeing that the bright light wouldn't stop until it faded, and not knowing if the fox pills on the array would still be useful after the light faded, Daoyan Zhenjun gritted his teeth and raised his hand to strike the bright light, hoping to sever the connection between it and Hu Sanniang.
The brilliance of the six fox pills became even brighter, and the light curtains intertwined to burst out with a heavy blow, dissolving the attack of Taoist Master Daoyan.
Daoyan Zhenjun's face turned grim. He was about to use a powerful move to forcibly cut off the direct connection between Hu Dan and Hu Sanniang. Suddenly, a voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Watch out."
Daoyan Zhenjun was startled and quickly retracted his move, creating a protective shield around him. The voice that suddenly appeared in Daoyan Zhenjun's ears sounded like that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Only Daoyan Zhenjun had the right to enter and exit the forbidden area freely. Daoyan Zhenjun was certain that no young girls had ever been present in the forbidden area.
True Lord Daoyan did not act rashly. He immediately looked around and found no one there. True Lord Tianyou, who had just been guarding the door of the hall, was lying inside the door with his eyes closed. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Daoyan Zhenjun was horrified and couldn't help but pull out a few talismans from his pocket and slap them on himself. After a few flashes of light, Daoyan Zhenjun's protective shield had several more layers.
