Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 399 - 208: Straw Dogs

The Celestial Fox Demon King heard this, and her captivating eyes curiously sized up Shen Chongming.

"Fetal Breathing Realm?"

"To observe this child, he is no more than thirty years old, yet his cultivation has already reached the Fetal Breathing Realm. His True Essence Spiritual Power is pure and robust, certainly not forcibly built up through Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or elixirs!"

"The sword in his hand..."

"That is... Sword Intent!?"

Upon seeing the dark green Cyan Bamboo Sword in Shen Chongming’s hand, the gaze of the Celestial Fox Demon King immediately perceived the terrifying and concentrated Sword Intent upon it!

"The strength of the owner of this sword is even more terrifying than the owner of that voice!"

The Celestial Fox Demon King was secretly alarmed, yet greatly relieved!

Luckily, she restrained herself and did not act rashly!

"These human cultivators are too cunning!"

"Indeed, anyone who can cultivate to such a realm is shrewder than the last!"

The Celestial Fox Demon King cursed inwardly but wore an enchanting smile on her face, respectfully bowing and speaking:

"Greetings, young friend."

"I am from the Southern Border, and have mistakenly intruded upon your noble’s territory today, offending you greatly."

"Please kindly inform your noble’s patriarch that I shall leave at once."

Patriarch?

Shen Chongming’s expression slightly froze, then he glanced at the Cyan Bamboo Sword in his hand.

He was unaware that his grandfather Shen Yuan had harnessed a stroke of fortune extracted from Bai Ze using the White Jade Turtle Shell, making a great sacrifice, and activated the Turtle Shell, simulating Bai Ze at the Golden Core Peak to suppress the Celestial Fox Demon King.

He simply thought the Celestial Fox Demon King felt the Sword Intent of Lingshan Sword Immortal on the Cyan Bamboo Sword and mistakenly believed their family had a Sword Immortal Realm patriarch.

Thinking of this, he felt secretly delighted and decided to make the most of this false pretense.

Immediately, he arrogantly clasped his hands and said:

"Senior is too polite; those who come from afar are guests. You should have been invited to my residence for a good reception."

"But before closing off, my elders instructed us not to entertain guests, and I hope senior will understand."

So the person is in seclusion...

The Celestial Fox Demon King understood, smiled slightly, and said: "I understand, hence I will not disturb further, farewell."

After speaking, she flew over Yunshui City, heading eastward.

Seeing her figure disappear, Shen Chongming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hastily returned to Yunshui City.

...

To the east of Yunshui City is the region of Yingchuan County.

At this time, within Yingchuan County, Ou Chang from the Yin Corpse Sect had just harvested a city’s blood sacrifice and was preparing to head to the next city when he suddenly sensed the presence of the Celestial Fox Demon King.

His eyebrows slightly furrowed, his figure flashed as he appeared before the Celestial Fox Demon King.

"This area is vast, with plenty of blood sacrifice. Fellow Daoist, why did you come to my side?"

Seeing Ou Chang questioning, the Celestial Fox Demon King somewhat irritatedly replied: "Fellow Daoist Ou, don’t speak of it; I didn’t gain any benefit this time, and nearly lost a whole body of Dao practice." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Upon hearing this, Ou Chang was somewhat surprised.

The Celestial Fox Demon King did not conceal anything, directly recounting her experience in Yunshui City.

"The two Golden Core cultivators in that city are truly cunning. Fortunately, I was cautious; had I rushed in, I might have been killed by those two on the spot."

Ou Chang silently memorized the location mentioned by the Celestial Fox Demon King, his eyes flickered briefly.

"Seeing this Yangnao Land has just revived not long ago, who would have thought there would be Golden Core Realm monsters hidden in the world!"

The Celestial Fox Demon King sighed and said: "What’s so strange about this?"

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins here have been destroyed, but surely there would be some remnants of Blessed Secret Realms."

"Those cultivators who managed to survive would hide within the Blessed Secret Realms to cultivate, unaffected greatly."

After saying this, her gaze turned to the city ahead.

"Fellow Daoist Ou has gained abundantly; this city shall be relinquished to me?"

Ou Chang pondered briefly, and did not desire to argue over a human city with her.

"No problem, there are plenty of human cities here, I shall not compete with you."

"Farewell."

His figure flashed, flying into the distance.

Seeing him leave, the Celestial Fox Demon King released her Divine Sense, carefully inspecting the city below. Not sensing any trace or seal of the Shen Family, the three fox tails behind her fluttered in the wind, sweeping towards the city.

The three massive fox tails emitted a potent, alluring aura.

In that instant, the city’s men, women, young and old, were all infected by this aura, resembling living corpses as they moved towards the enormous fox tail.

In just a moment, the Celestial Fox Demon King swept away the common people of an entire city, flying into the distance.

...

Fengxian County.

The Lord of Fushan, Wushi Puppet, abducted numerous Western Wilderness people along the way, and upon reaching Fengxian County, the entire Imperial Extreme Tripod was nearly filled.

Finally seeing a mundane city appear, a trace of delight appeared on Wushi Puppet’s face.

"Ordinary blood sacrifice is sufficient to refine Blood Pills. With limited remaining space in the Imperial Extreme Tripod, it’s time to carefully select and find more cultivators."

Wushi Puppet’s figure flew over multiple cities in Fengxian County, abducting Liu Family cultivators and disciples of Qiyun Valley.

The news spread, and Li Heshan, far away in the Commandery City, appeared solemn.

The opponent came all the way from Western Wilderness, and he largely guessed that the Cliff Mountain Courtyard Dean Yao Lin and Zhongli Qing and others in the distant Western Wilderness might have already met a grim fate.

Suspected to be of Golden Core Realm, not to mention himself, even the entire Qiyun Valley was no match for them.

Standing sorrowfully by the pavilion in Immortal Welcoming Garden, his expression was desolate.

Since arriving in Yangnao Land with Zhongli Qing years ago, he had tended this land for nearly seventy years.

In recent years, some results were finally becoming apparent, and there was hope to reverse the decline of Qiyun Valley, only to suddenly suffer such a heavy blow...
