Fox Demon Encampment, Formidable Enemies Come Knocking
"My benefactor, please wait."
Chen Ning was about to leave.
The old man suddenly spoke up.
Chen Ning looked at him without saying a word.
"My benefactor, my Fox Clan always repays kindness. I hope you can leave your name. If you don't mind, I would like to ask if you could come back to my home with me. I have prepared a delicious meal to thank you."
Chen Ning blinked. From what the people from the Demon Battle Saint Sect had said, he could tell that the old man in front of him was a fox demon.
It belongs to a branch of the Nine Li Demon Race.
Fox Demon Race.
If you can go to their place.
Perhaps we can also find out some things about the Nine Li Demon Race.
Even if it's not possible, it's still a temporary place to stay, allowing for long-term planning.
"Good!"
Chen Ning agreed.
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately led the way. Along the way, Chen Ning learned that the old man was the most respected elder of the Fox Demon Race, and he had no name; some of the younger members of the clan called him Grandpa.
The girl's name was A Yao.
Both of her parents were warriors of the Nine Li Clan. They died in battle while fighting against human forces to protect the Nine Li Royal Clan.
The old man has been taking care of A Yao.
Along the way, the girl occasionally stole glances at Chen Ning's profile.
Sometimes, when she makes eye contact with Chen Ning, she will shyly look away.
The girl was clearly delighted. She was dressed in a blue and white outfit and skipped along the way. Two bells hung from her waist ornament and jingled with each step.
Showcasing youthful energy.
That's all.
We arrived at the grandfather and grandson's residence.
The house was simple, but very cozy.
There were not only the grandfather and grandson here, but also other demons who had transformed into human form.
They would greet the elderly with joy when they saw them return.
However, when they met Chen Ning, they mostly showed hostility.
That hatred runs in their veins.
It is extremely difficult to resolve.
"Sir, they don't seem very welcoming to me."
Chen Ning spoke calmly.
"Don't blame them. Their ancestors also suffered persecution at the hands of some people. However, there are good and bad people, and good and evil demons. This old man can see that you, my benefactor, are different from them."
The old man smiled.
"Yes, Yao'er also thinks that our benefactor... our benefactor is not a bad person."
A Yao smiled sweetly.
"Those bad people are trying every means to find out the whereabouts of the Nine Li Royal Clan. My benefactor is different from them. After saving Grandpa and Yao'er, his first thought was to leave, without asking for anything in return."
Listening to the girl's innocent and carefree words.
Chen Ning blushed.
They're not exactly the same, but they're actually quite the same.
While they may seem similar, they are fundamentally quite different.
I'm here to recruit.
It wasn't persecution.
But.
The atmosphere has been built up to this point.
Chen Ning decided not to tarnish his image in the eyes of the grandfather and grandson.
Rest well and then figure out how to find the Nine Li Royal Clan yourself.
At night.
Chen Ning suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed that several cultivators' auras were gathering around the Fox Demon Race's territory.
"Looks like they haven't given up after all..."
Chen Ning chuckled softly.
Outside the Fox Demon Race's territory.
Several figures flickered continuously.
Sha Qi filled the air.
"Elder Wu, all the elite troops we sent out before perished here. This Fox Demon Race must have some powerful experts."
"You mean, among the Fox Demon Clan, there is Nine Li Royal Clan?"
"Exactly, otherwise, there wouldn't be a master secretly protecting them; that's the most reasonable explanation."
Upon hearing this...
The old man, known as Elder Wu, frowned and said, "Fine! Since that's the case, let's slaughter this entire Fox Demon Clan overnight. Anyway, the bloodline of the Nine Li Royal Clan will still be effective even if they die. We can just try them one by one."
"That's inevitable, but we still need to act quickly to avoid any leaks."
The person speaking with Elder Wu was also a long-faced elder from within the Demon Battle Saint Sect.
However, his cultivation level is weaker than Elder Wu's.
He was more skilled at deciphering the secret texts of the Devil Race and studying trap formations.
One after another, demonic energy traps were set up.
There are also formations that conceal traces of one's presence.
The Demon Battle Saint Sect, in the end, is also one of the top ten super powers.
If someone finds out about doing this, they will be Denunciation by Tongue and Pen by various powerful forces.
It's very troublesome.
Therefore, it is essential to be efficient and decisive in everything you do.
Elder Wu revealed a confident smile.
Finally, I'm about to make a contribution.
This time, the sect leader, in his delight, will surely bestow upon him a glimmer of fortuitous opportunity.
Perhaps I can advance to the Heavenly Martial Realm.
Elder Wu has been stuck at the Nine-Star Martial Venerable realm for decades.
He desperately wanted to enter the Heaven Martial Realm.
And this credit is practically guaranteed.
Although the bloodline of the Nine Li Royal Clan is hidden among various races, there are always people secretly protecting them.
This time.
Their whereabouts were thus exposed.
The one capable of killing Seven-Star Martial Venerable must be a top expert of the Nine Li Demon Race.
But why would a top-tier expert intervene and rescue an old fox demon and a young girl? That's too suspicious.
That means the demons of the Nine Li Royal Clan must be hiding among the Fox Demon Clan.
"Do it!"
Several groups of members of the Demon Battle Saint Sect, dressed in wide cloaks, acted simultaneously.
They charged into the Fox Demon Clan's territory.
Suddenly.
A figure was sent flying backward.
The Earth Martial Realm martial artist took a real, powerful blow to the chest. All his ribs were broken, and he was coughing up blood incessantly.
The one who made the move.
It was the same old man that Chen Ning had saved earlier.
"It really happened. It seems there's no escaping this calamity."
The old fox demon sighed.
The opposing side had more than thirty experts at the Earth Martial Realm level alone.
In the entire fox demon settlement, there are fewer than ten demons with the cultivation level of the Earth Martial Realm.
The disparity in combat strength is too great.
Moreover, this doesn't even include the two old guys at the back of the crowd.
The old fox demon's face turned solemn.
Of the two, he could sense that one of them was far more powerful than himself.
He's much stronger than that hall master I met during the day.
"Gentlemen, you have come from afar. Our Fox Demon Race has failed to provide adequate hospitality. We truly cannot understand what we have done to offend you that warrants such a large-scale conflict?"
The fox demon elder looked at the Elder Wu behind the crowd.
The opponent has the highest cultivation level.
He should be the leader.
"Old fox, as long as you hand over the demon with the bloodline of the Nine Li Royal Clan, we will let you go," Elder Wu laughed.
"My Fox Demon Clan has no royal blood. If it did, why would I be the only one out to face the enemy? There would surely be many powerful members of my Demon Race protecting me."
"Stubborn and incorrigible."
Elder Wu sneered.
"This old fox is now in your hands!"
The long-faced elder, who specialized in the secret scriptures, spoke to someone beside him.
The man nodded.
Then.
His figure shot off with explosive speed.
In an instant.
They arrived before the old fox demon.
This person is also a Seven-Star Martial Venerable.
The fox demon elder was merely Five-Star Martial Venerable.
With a difference of two realms, even if his true form was a demon, he wouldn't last more than a few rounds.
I saw two figures fighting.
Elder Wu couldn't help but laugh, "Old fox, it doesn't matter if you don't hand over the person. We'll find them naturally after we've slaughtered this place."
"Today, I will surely slaughter your Fox Demon Clan!"
