Chapter 875: Chapter 865: Heaven-Devouring Fox Race

"The Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake harbors exceedingly violent ice power."

Gu Chenfeng slightly frowned and said, "But this ice power cannot be easily refined and absorbed, or else one would be contaminated with an incurable cold poison."

"Cold poison?" Flame Shadow trembled all over, quickly stepping back several paces, and exclaimed in horror, "What I fear most is cold poison. If I get contaminated by that, it would truly be a fate worse than death."

"Compared to it, fire poison is not as frightening. Fire poison can be forcibly suppressed, but cold poison is another matter. Young Master Feng, you must be extremely careful."

"If you get contaminated with cold poison, I wouldn’t be able to save you. At that time, I could only watch you wait for death."

Upon hearing these words.

Gu Chenfeng glared at Flame Shadow and said irritably, "A mere cold poison is not enough to harm me."

At this moment.

The surface of the calm lake suddenly got covered by ice, rapidly sweeping over.

Not long after.

On the icy surface, two threads of cold air transformed into two beautiful women in white robes.

The two beautiful women were members of the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race, with cultivation only at the Demon General Realm.

The two women glanced at Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow, their beautiful eyes showing a hint of surprise, evidently recognizing that Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow hailed from the Immortal Realm.

One woman slightly bowed and politely asked, "What business do two immortals have in visiting our race?"

Gu Chenfeng courteously clasped his fists and said, "We have an important matter and wish to meet the Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader, please notify her."

"Please wait a moment." The members of the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race bowed again, then vanished with the cold air.

Flame Shadow cheerfully laughed and said, "The hospitality of the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race is far superior to some other races. Hopefully, we can successfully obtain the Infinite Golden Crow."

"Let us hope so." Gu Chenfeng nodded.

In less than a minute.

The two women transformed and appeared once more, one of them politely bowing and saying, "The clan leader invites you, please follow me."

"Thank you." Gu Chenfeng clasped his fists in thanks.

With a wave of her jade-like hand, a cold, icy stairway leading to the palace instantly appeared, akin to a path leading to heaven.

"Not bad, not bad." Flame Shadow said, greatly pleased, "Truly a powerful race; I appreciate such hospitality."

Under the guidance of the two clan members, Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow entered the magnificent grand palace of the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race.

Flame Shadow transmitted a laugh and said, "Young Master Feng, the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race is incredibly strong. I have detected nine Demon Venerable experts, and astonishingly, twenty-seven Demon Emperors."

"Such terrifying strength is already comparable to the Celestial Shadow Immortal Palace. If we wish to forcibly seize the Infinite Golden Crow, it would be very challenging."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The arrival of Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow immediately drew the attention of many Heaven-Devouring Fox clan members.

Among the numerous Heaven-Devouring Fox clan members, there were several talented prodigies, and even talented clan members at the Demon Emperor level.

"People from the Immortal Realm? What are they doing in our Heaven-Devouring Fox Race?"

"Oh, what a handsome man, and his cultivation doesn’t seem weak. I like him."

"With my late Demon Emperor stage Realm, I can’t ascertain that boy’s cultivation depth, nor can I detect any energy fluctuations from him."

The Heaven-Devouring Fox clan members discussed amongst themselves, their gazes focused on Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow.

Sweeping a glance over the Heaven-Devouring Fox clan members, Flame Shadow slightly marveled, "As expected of a strong race, their younger generation has numerous talented individuals, even some at the Demon Emperor level."

Not long after.

The Heaven-Devouring Fox clan members led Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow into an imposing hall.

Inside the hall.

The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader sat on the throne, her beauty astonishing, her posture elegant, exuding a regal aura with every gesture, and inherently possessing authority and poise.

Her eyebrows were long and slightly raised, resembling two light willow leaves, with her elongated, enchanting eyes beneath them.

That breathtaking face paired with such a unique aura made her seem like a fairy out of a myth, unforgettable.

"Such a peerless beauty is rare in the world." Flame Shadow couldn’t help but be amazed internally.

Gu Chenfeng glanced at the Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader and politely clasped his fists, saying, "I am Gu Chenfeng, having long heard of the great name of the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race. I apologize for the sudden visit and hope the clan leader can forgive the intrusion."

"I am Flame Shadow, greetings to the Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader and the eight Elders." Flame Shadow also politely paid his respects.

The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader coolly swept a glance at Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow, and asked with icy indifference, "You two from the Immortal Realm, why have you come here?"

Gu Chenfeng once again clasped his fists and said, "Then I shall speak directly. I heard the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race acquired the Infinite Golden Crow, and we have come this time to negotiate a trade for it."

"Infinite Golden Crow?" The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader’s beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and she said coldly, "That is a treasure of our race; why would we give it to you? Show them out."

The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader immediately issued an order to expel them, clearly unwilling to trade the Infinite Golden Crow.

Flame Shadow transmitted a bitter laugh, saying, "Young Master Feng, it’s not going to be easy after all."

Gu Chenfeng did not give up and continued, "Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader, I am willing to trade a powerful Immortal Technique for the Infinite Golden Crow."

The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader remained unmoved and coolly said, "Our race has its own heritage and doesn’t covet your Immortal Techniques. The Demon Race does not cultivate Immortal Techniques."

Beside him, Flame Shadow quickly added, "Then how about a Top Grade Immortal Artifact?"

The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader still shook her head and refused, "An Immortal Artifact is nice, but the Infinite Golden Crow is more important to our race. The Demon Realm won’t make use of Immortal Artifacts either. Leave, no matter what treasures you bring, our clan leader won’t trade them."

"Not even an Ancient Immortal Artifact?" Flame Shadow persisted.

The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader replied coldly, "Our clan leader doesn’t need it, nor are we lacking."

Gu Chenfeng pondered for a moment and clasped his fists, saying, "Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader, I can also offer you a large amount of Top Grade Elixirs to help you enhance your cultivation."

The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader could not help but ask with a cold laugh, "Boy, what kind of elixir do you think can aid a late-stage Demon Venerable peak in enhancing their cultivation?"

Reaching the Demon Venerable Realm, even a Ninth Grade Pill cannot significantly enhance cultivation.

Moreover, the Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader is at the pinnacle of the late Demon Venerable, already half a step into the Demigod Realm.

No matter how powerful a Ninth Grade Elixir is, it cannot help her enhance her cultivation.

Reaching the peak of the late Demon Venerable, breaking through further to the Demigod Realm requires an opportunity.

A Ninth Grade Pill obviously isn’t the answer.

At this moment.

The Grand Elder of the Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan spoke, "The Infinite Golden Crow is a creation of heaven and earth, harboring extremely pure and enormous power, far surpassing the efficacy of a Ninth Grade Elixir."

"This item is exceedingly important to the clan leader. No matter what treasures you bring, the clan leader won’t trade with you. Go back."

"Young Master Feng, what do we do now?" Flame Shadow asked, looking dejected, having run out of ideas.

Gu Chenfeng slightly furrowed his brow and once again clasped his fists, asking, "What if I can expel the cold poison for the Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader?"

"Expel the cold poison?" The Heaven-Devouring Fox Clan Leader was visibly shocked.
