Chapter 1200: Chapter 26: Assassin of the Alien Race

Just when the selection of the Holy Daughter in Cangdu was in full swing, in a fork on the road within the Sky Fox Tribe Country, on the road leading to Hu Capital.

In a dense, primitive forest, the trees were lush and each tree reached dozens of meters high.

There were a few shadows among the trees, seemingly waiting for something.

They were the assassins who had ambushed several batches of the Heavenly Fox Saintess candidates.

"Hui Yu, we’ve already killed several batches of the Heavenly Fox Saintess candidates. I wonder why the Young Master suddenly issued such an order this time." The speaker was a masked woman, her entire body tightly covered, with only a pair of charming eyes exposed.

"I suspect it’s related to the recent rumors in the clan," replied a tall figure, resembling a pine tree, with harsh, eagle-like gray eyes.

"Are you referring to the marriage alliance between the Sky Fox Tribe and us? Hmph, how shameless! How can those scandalous women from the Sky Fox Tribe match our Young Clan Chief?" Upon hearing this, the masked woman’s expression changed immediately.

The Young Clan Chief was young and handsome, with an unknown number of unmarried young women in the clan secretly in love with him, Ya Ji included.

Now the Young Clan Chief was already an adult, and many expected him to favor them.

But at this time, rumors began to spread that the Young Clan Chief’s fiancée would be the Saintess of the Sky Fox Tribe.

When the news first came out, the group of young women, including Ya Ji, entirely dismissed it because they all knew that the Young Clan Chief disliked women from the Fox Clan.

Especially after the previous Heavenly Fox Clan’s Saintess disappeared, that Hu Linglong from the Fox Clan frequently pestered the Young Clan Chief, causing him great annoyance, even publicly declaring that even if all women in the world died, he wouldn’t marry a Fox Clan woman.

"That may be, but the Young Clan Chief was raised by the Old Clan Chief since childhood and listens to the Old Clan Chief the most. I’ve heard that the marriage between the two clans was agreed upon by the previous Old Clan Chief of the Sky Fox Tribe and the Old Clan Chief," the gray-eyed man replied, also filled with dissatisfaction.

In their minds, the Young Clan Chief was a young genius, worthy only of the most talented woman. Currently, in the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, only Hei Linlin from the Hei Qilin Tribe barely matched up to their Young Clan Chief.

Even if she’s a Saintess, how could a woman from the Fox Clan possibly compare!

It’s widely known that the Heavenly Fox is a Lower Beast Clan; even their Saintess cannot be someone extraordinary.

Such a waste, daring to aspire to their Young Clan Chief, what a monumental joke.

"No wonder the Young Clan Chief wants us to ambush them en route. I don’t believe, that by killing off their candidates, they can still select a new Saintess," the masked woman said, her eyes flashing.

Up ahead on the main road, a few luxurious beast carts appeared, looking very much like the convoy of the Sky Fox Clan escorting the candidate Saintesses.

"Here they come, this time, it’s your turn," Hui Yu said, resting with his eyes closed, clearly unimpressed by the Sky Fox Clan’s convoy.

The masked woman Ya Ji suddenly sprang into action, like a graceful Phoenix Bird, preparing to charge forward.

But just at that moment, a group of masked individuals appeared on the main road ahead.

Those masked people were extremely ruthless, and within just 15 minutes, the strictly guarded escort convoy of the Sky Fox Tribe was overturned, with chaos everywhere.

The brightly dressed candidate Saintesses from the Sky Fox Clan were dragged from the beast carts.

"Please spare me, I’m from the Sun Residence of Langdu; if you let me go, I can give you a lot of money," pleaded a charming and captivating candidate Saintess from the Sky Fox Clan as she desperately begged the group of assassins.

These women, heading to Hu Capital to participate in the Saintess selection, were all outstanding in appearance and came from exceptional backgrounds.

The assassins’ eyes shone with excitement, each one exchanging sly glances.

"Hehe, no wonder they’re candidate Saintesses; their looks are indeed remarkable. Brothers, one for each, let’s enjoy ourselves," several assassins, ignoring the pleas of the Saintesses, dragged the fox women to the side.

Half an hour later, after several screams of agony.

The assassins left, swaggering away.

On the main road, all the guards of the escort convoy had been killed, their deaths pitifully tragic.

In the bushes, the women from the Sky Fox Clan were naked, their faces full of knife marks, rendered unrecognizable.

"What a cruel method, there are others like us targeting these women from the Sky Fox Clan," witnessing this inhumane scene, even the usually unaffected Hui Yu couldn’t help but be slightly moved.

Ya Ji’s beautiful eyes turned red with anger; had it not been for the fear of revealing her identity if she acted, she would have sliced that group of assassins into a thousand pieces.

Although they had also killed quite a few women from the Fox Clan, never had they been like these people. As a fellow woman, Ya Ji couldn’t help but hate these assassins.

Killing is one thing, but why disfigure and rape? Such acts are utterly appalling.

The mastermind behind these people must have some deep vendetta with the Sky Fox Clan to go this far.

"Judging by their skills and attire, they seem to be hired killers specializing in assassinations, but who knows who their mastermind is," Ya Ji thought it was strange that besides the Young Clan Chief, anyone would hate the Fox Clan this much.

"Ya Ji, don’t meddle, or you’ll expose our identity. It’s only about ten days until the Heavenly Fox Saintess selection ceremony. Although their means are cruel, for us, it’s not a bad thing; at least it saves us a lot of trouble. Two groups of ambushers, double the effect," Hui Yu said coldly.

Compared to Ya Ji, Hui Yu remained far more composed.

"That’s right, they seem to be lying in ambush around here for action. If that’s the case, it saves us a lot of effort; you and I can split up. I’ll be responsible for this main road, and you take care of the northern road, act as needed," discussed and decided Ya Ji and Hui Yu to individually ambush the candidate Saintesses from the Fox Clan within the remaining ten days.

The massacre on the main road, the smell of blood hadn’t yet dissipated, as the selection of Cangdu’s candidate Saintesses for the Fox Clan finally came to an end.

"These are the three final candidates from Cangdu selected to participate in this choice for the Heavenly Fox Saintess," Havela managed, after several days and nights of strict selection, to choose three Fox Clan women who excelled in temperament, ability, and appearance from hundreds of candidates.

Two of them were Heavenly Fox Mixed Blood, and one was a Pureblood Sky Fox. These three would set off immediately, escorted by a dedicated military convoy to Hu Capital.

As for Yun Sheng, as agreed with Havela earlier, she would disguise herself as a Medical Woman accompanying the military to escort the three candidate Saintesses on the journey to Cangdu.
