The three of them looked shocked.
“Not good. The Wuji Heavenly Venerable has caught up.” The little white fox said urgently, “Quick, follow me…”
“You have returned to your lair. Where else do you think you can flee?” The voice of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a fissure appeared in the void.
The figure of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable stepped out from within. He made no attempt to conceal the powerful might emanating from his body, like a god, awe-inspiring across the nine heavens.
Upon seeing the unparalleled beauty of the little white fox, a trace of amazement flashed in the depths of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s eyes. He smiled and said, “I never expected that in my lifetime, this seat would still be able to witness the grace of the Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom. This trip has not been in vain.”
“It is a pity that this peerless beauty of yours will soon fade away and perish.”
“Ye Changsheng, fox demons are the most skilled at bewitching people’s hearts. Do not let this fox demon deceive you. Hurry and come to this seat’s side. I will protect you.”
“Protect me?” Hearing these words, Ye Qiu sneered, “At a time like this, you still pretend?”
“Is it not simply that you want the treasures on my body?”
“Old turtle, you might as well give up that idea. Even if I die, I will not give the treasures to you.”
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s face darkened, “Ye Changsheng, do you seek your own death?”
Ye Qiu said disdainfully, “Do not think I am unaware. You never intended to let me live. Hypocrite.”
“Hahaha. You are quite clever, lad. Since that is the case, there is nothing more to say.” The Wuji Heavenly Venerable reached out with his right hand, surging with killing intent.
At that moment, a stern shout rang out.
“Who dares to act arrogantly in the demon race? Seeking death!”
Subsequently, four figures shot out like streams of light from the mountain range, charging towards the Wuji Heavenly Venerable.
Clearly, these four figures were all powerhouses of the demon race.
“Come back! All of you, come back!” The little white fox cried out anxiously.
“Hmph!” The Wuji Heavenly Venerable snorted coldly. Two beams of light shot from his eyes. In an instant, the four figures turned into bloody mist.
“Mere Tongshen realm ants daring to attack this seat. They deserve death.” The Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s face was full of indifference.
The little white fox said hatefully, “Wuji Heavenly Venerable, this is the Southern Ridge, not your Yin-Yang Sect. You are massacring on my territory. Are you not afraid you will not be able to leave?”
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable remained unconcerned and laughed, “This seat came here precisely to slay you and flatten the demon race.”
The little white fox’s expression changed slightly.
“Who has such bold words? So it is the sect master of the Yin-Yang Sect. Truly arrogant!” A resounding voice echoed.
Boom!
In the next moment, a powerful aura rose from the depths of the mountain range, tearing through the clouds, like an ancient demon god emerging into the world.
Immediately afterwards.
A burly giant appeared.
He stood over ten metres tall, with eyes like bronze bells. He carried an axe in his hand, like a small mountain peak. Powerful aura emanated from his body.
With every step he took, he left a massive footprint, causing the ground to shake and mountains to tremble.
The burly giant arrived beside the little white fox, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly, “Greetings to the Lord!”
Then, he asked in surprise, “Lord, why has your cultivation fallen to such a degree?”
The little white fox replied, “Some things happened. It cannot be explained in a few words.”
The burly giant said, “Lord, you should return to the palace to rest first. I will deal with him.”
“Elder Bear, he is a Saint King. You cannot defeat him.” The little white fox said.
“A Saint King?” The burly giant looked up at the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, his face showing shock. Then he grinned and said, “I have never killed a Saint King before. If I can take him down, Lord, could you reward me with some fine wine?”
The little white fox knew Elder Bear was joking. She was about to speak when “whoosh whoosh whoosh”, more than a dozen figures flew up from the depths of the mountain range. They were all demon race powerhouses, preparing to come to their aid.
“Get back.” The little white fox shouted sternly.
Elder Bear added, “Your cultivation is too weak. You cannot handle a Saint King powerhouse. All of you, return.”
Immediately, the dozen or so figures vanished.
High in the sky, the Wuji Heavenly Venerable looked at Elder Bear and chuckled lightly, “I thought some extraordinary expert had emerged from the demon race. It turns out to be just a bear. How disappointing.”
Boom!
As the Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s words fell, he raised his palm, carrying overwhelming might, and struck down towards Elder Bear.
“Old scoundrel, you are too arrogant.” Elder Bear roared in fury. He charged into the void with his axe raised, directly meeting the Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s palm.
Boom rumble rumble…
When the two collided, the void within ten thousand li annihilated. Terrifying energy spread in all directions.
“Elder Bear has only just broken through to the Great Saint realm. He is no match for the Wuji Heavenly Venerable. I must help him.”
After saying this, the little white fox prepared to act, but Ye Qiu grabbed her.
“Your injuries are very severe. You cannot fight again.” Ye Qiu said.
“Are you worried about me?” The little white fox smiled faintly and said, “Did you not hear what the Wuji Heavenly Venerable said? He wants to flatten the demon race. If I do not act, Elder Bear will surely lose.”
“The only chance now is for Elder Bear and me to join forces and hold off the Wuji Heavenly Venerable.”
“You need not worry about me. I have several lives. It is not so easy for me to die.”
Ye Qiu said, “Give me the Demon Refining Pot.”
“What are you doing?” The little white fox looked puzzled but took out the Demon Refining Pot.
Ye Qiu took the Demon Refining Pot, directly erased the connection between him and the imperial artefact, then handed it back to the little white fox. He said, “Quickly bind it as your own!”
The little white fox was somewhat surprised and said, “This is an imperial artefact. You are willing to give it to me?”
Ye Qiu replied, “I hope it can help you block the Wuji Heavenly Venerable. If you cannot hold him off, the demon race will be destroyed, and I will die too.”
“Besides, this imperial artefact originally belongs to the demon race. Giving it to you is merely returning it to its rightful owner.”
“You do not need to thank me…”
Smooch!
Before Ye Qiu could finish, he froze, because the little white fox had kissed him on the cheek.
“Ye Changsheng, this is the first gift you have given me. I will not stand on ceremony with you.”
After saying this, the little white fox took the Demon Refining Pot and charged straight into the high sky.
Ye Qiu stood rigid in place. Only one thought filled his mind: I was kissed by a fox demon?
“Little brat, was it sweet?” The Long-Browed Real Person asked with a cheeky grin.
Ye Qiu snapped back and glanced at the Long-Browed Real Person.
“What is with that look?” The Long-Browed Real Person said, “I truly envy you. Loved by humans, adored by demons.”
“Nothing good ever comes out of a dog’s mouth. Get lost!” Ye Qiu shouted.
In the void.
The battle was fierce.
However, even with the little white fox and Elder Bear joining forces, they still could not contend with the Wuji Heavenly Venerable.
The power of a Saint King was simply too terrifying.
“Bang!”
Elder Bear was sent flying, blood sprinkling across the sky. His body hurtled ten thousand li, smashing through several mountain peaks.
The little white fox rapidly formed seals with her hands. She sacrificed the Demon Refining Pot into the void, releasing strands of imperial might that caused heaven and earth to collapse.
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable quickly retreated. He glanced at the Demon Refining Pot, a trace of greed appearing in his eyes.
Faced with an imperial artefact, he was very cautious and did not act rashly.
However, at that very moment—
