Verifying His Identity!

Elder Hu You expressed great satisfaction with Xinghe's reaction.

This was the only outcome that made everyone happy.

Chu Xinghe had considered jumping out and pointing at a group of the Fox Clan to declare that he was the new generation's prophet!

But if you actually do that, the inevitable result will be being killed on the spot.

What the heck?

How dare the Fox Clan kill Chu Xinghe, who inherited the legacy?

It's simple. Let alone the fact that Chu Xinghe isn't a true Fox Clan and didn't receive the complete inheritance, even if Chu Xinghe did receive the entire inheritance, it would be a joke for an outsider to become the highest ruler of the Fox Clan.

It's like your ancestors were emperors, then the dynasty fell... Thousands of years later, your family has worked hard for generations to rebuild the empire, and you're just about to ascend the throne... when a little kappa comes along and tells you, "I am the rightful heir, and I must sit on this throne."

In this situation, just tell me whether you're going to kill him or not.

If you hesitate for even a second and don't finish off the other person, it means that even if you were cured of this disease, you'd still be drooling.

Chu Xinghe knew that he was now that little kala-mi. Regardless of whether he actually received the Prophet Inheritance today, he could never sit in the prophet's position; that would be a dead end.

Now things are much more harmonious... All the high-ranking Fox Clan understand that although Chu Xinghe did not receive the complete inheritance and the legendary nine-tailed fox did not appear, the divine power bestowed by the simultaneous appearance of the fourteen generations of prophets is absolutely genuine.

Chu Xinghe, who possesses divine power and wants to crush them under his feet, must be eliminated.

But Chu Xinghe, who possesses divine power yet is willing to start from the bottom, is the hope of the Fox Clan!

So, when Elder Hu You asked Chu Xinghe whether he had received the inheritance, he was essentially asking Chu Xinghe, "Do you want to live or die?"

If you claim to be a prophet... then congratulations, all the prophets of the past are dead... so we're sending you away too, so you can join the prophets of the past, isn't that perfectly reasonable...?

If you say you're not a prophet, then congratulations! A bright child with divine power— your Future is promising!

The ritual ended, and Chu Xinghe finally escaped with his life.

However, this is only the first hurdle.

Chu Xinghe's fabricated past was riddled with flaws, as Hu Han had already informed many of the Fox Clan's leaders.

However, since Chu Xinghe was to be offered as a sacrifice at the time, whether Chu Xinghe's past was true or false was actually not important.

After all, it was just a sacrificial offering.

But things are different now. Chu Xinghe unexpectedly obtained a portion of the Prophet Inheritance, and all the high-ranking Fox Clan know what that means.

In this situation, it becomes necessary to delve into Chu Xinghe's past.

Don't be fooled by Chu Xinghe's constant talk of sacrificing his life for the Fox Clan; we're all old foxes... take that with a grain of salt.

Surely nobody's going to take this seriously?

Therefore, it is now necessary to accurately verify Chu Xinghe's identity and background, which is also what Chu Xinghe is most worried about.

Don't be fooled by the fox- Fox-Pattern Mask's seemingly high-class appearance; it's not invincible... If the Fox Clan truly possesses some secret technique, they might be able to uncover the Fox-Pattern Mask's hidden secrets. And once Human Race identity is exposed, it won't just be a matter of life or death.

I reckon they'll be in a situation where they can neither live nor die.

Just as Chu Xinghe had guessed, the High Priest Hu Shang and all the high-ranking members of the Fox Clan were gathered in the Fox Clan Temple.

The meeting had a simple agenda: to discuss how to deal with the Hu Xinghe issue.

It is an indisputable fact that Chu Xinghe possesses the divine power of the Fox Clan's prophet. From the perspective of the Fox Clan's fundamental interests, if such Xinghe is nurtured, he may become a new prophet of the Fox Clan in the Future.

However, Chu Xinghe's origins are also unknown. If he is truly a person with evil intentions, and the Fox Clan raises him, it would be a disaster for the Fox Clan.

"He doesn't even have a tail. I even doubt if he's a true Fox Clan. I suggest the Grand Elder use our Fox Clan's bloodline secret technique to determine if he truly possesses Fox Clan blood!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, the Grand Elder remained silent, but the High Priest waved his hand.

"That's unnecessary... If he weren't Fox Clan, the Prophet Inheritance would never have chosen him; his Fox Clan identity should be beyond question."

Some have questioned the high priest's statement.

"Has the High Priest forgotten the Disgrace of Hu Ying two hundred years ago?"

Upon hearing the words "Disgrace of Hu Ying," all the Fox Clan leaders present paled.

The Disgrace of Hu Ying can be said to be the greatest disgrace in the history of the Fox Clan. Two hundred years ago, a Fox Clan named Hu Ying returned to the Fox Clan as a wild fox. Although Hu Ying was a wild fox, the Fox Clan still chose to accept Hu Ying.

And this Hu Ying did not disappoint the Fox Clan. He displayed unparalleled talent and leadership skills, rising from a wild fox to the position of elder.

But no one expected that this Hu Ying was not actually a true Fox Clan, or rather, not a pure Fox Clan. He was a hybrid fox born from the Fox Clan had defected from the enemy tribe and other races.

Hu Ying Shadow rose almost to the position of candidate for the Great Elder of the Fox Clan, but as Hu Ying status grew, his plan for revenge began.

Hu Ying devised countless insidious schemes, murdering countless powerful members of the Hu Ying Fox Clan, nearly wiping out the entire Fox Clan at his hands.

The Disgrace of Hu Ying became the greatest disgrace in the history of the Fox Clan, and the Fox Clan has been in decline for two hundred years, almost falling out of the ranks of the eight great Demon Race.

Upon hearing someone mention the Disgrace of Hu Ying, all the high-ranking Fox Clan fell silent.

Because the Hu Ying back then seemed to have no problems. Although he was a mixed fox, everything about him seemed exactly the same as that of the Fox Clan. Even the bloodline method couldn't verify that there was anything wrong with the Hu Ying.

So it was after that incident that the Fox Clan took every precaution against all returning wild foxes, but even so, some mixed foxes still managed to infiltrate the Fox Clan.

Clearly, with the Disgrace of Hu Ying being brought up again, everyone has fallen into deep thought.

Could this Hu Xinghe also be a mixed-breed fox? If he really is, then even bloodline techniques can't verify his problem...

Back then, Hu Ying was so outstanding that the Fox Clan spared no effort in nurturing him, but in the end, it led to a disaster for the Fox Clan.

Two hundred years later, a Hu Xinghe, even more terrifying than Hu Ying, has arrived... He obtained part of the prophet's legacy without warning. However, if he is also a sly fox who has infiltrated the fox clan, then if the Fox Clan raises him, it will inevitably bring catastrophic disaster to the Fox Clan.

Even the high priest, who had just said there was no problem with his identity, fell silent.

"If this Hu Xinghe is truly a mixed-breed fox, then even bloodline techniques cannot verify it... the only way is..."

Hu You's gaze swept over all the Fox Clan's high-ranking members, then he continued, "The only way is to have the Snake Spirit Clan verify this with their Nether Snake Mark!"

Upon hearing Elder Hu You Spirit speak, everyone nodded in agreement.

Because Hu You said made sense; back then, Hu Ying discovered his hidden secret only because of the Nether Snake Mark of the Snake Spirit Clan.

The Nether Snake Mark is a secret technique of the Snake Spirit Clan. Not only can the Nether Snake Mark the Snake Spirit Clan to recruit servants, it can also read the deepest secrets of the other party's heart through special means.

Therefore, as long as the snake spirit is found and verified with the Nether Snake Mark, it will be clear whether Hu Xinghe has ulterior motives or not.

The High Priest knew that this Hu Xinghe was no ordinary person. If he was truly sincere in returning to the Fox Clan, then he was definitely the Future and the hope for the Fox Clan.

But if he harbors ulterior motives, it would be a disaster for the Fox Clan.

Therefore, the Nether Snake Mark is correct!

The authenticity of the Nether Snake Mark is determined by its presence.

If it's true, then without a doubt, the Fox Clan will spare no effort to nurture him; if it's false, then the Fox Clan will destroy him at all costs!

The only problem is that while the Fox Clan and the Snake Spirit Clan are not exactly enemies, they are certainly not close either.

Ordinary snake spirits lack the power of the Nether Snake Mark and can only take in servants. The Fox Clan would never allow the Snake Spirit Clan to take in their own members as servants. If Hu Xinghe is truly the hope of the Fox Clan, he would be devastated if the snake spirits took him in as a servant.

If verification is done directly without accepting servants, then only the patriarch of the Snake Spirit Clan She Meng, or the deputy patriarch She Kui, would have this ability.

But the Snake Spirit Clan is notoriously greedy... It would be absolutely impossible to get the two of them to help without paying an enormous price.

Although the Fox Clan is one of the eight major Demon Race Fox Clan, it has long been in decline, and the Disgrace of Hu Ying Fox Clan hundred years ago further weakened it.

The Fox Clan now occupies the most barren lands, with very few resources. Asking She Meng or She Kui to help would likely worsen the already impoverished Fox Clan.

"Clan Chief, if Hu Xinghe truly belongs to the Fox Clan, then whatever price we pay today will be worthwhile. Future long as he grows up, our Fox Clan will surely regain its glory!"

"Yes! Chieftain, if he truly is a threat, eliminating him now will prevent Future troubles."

Finally, Hu Shang nodded.

"Elder, you must personally make a trip to the Snake Spirit Clan. No matter the cost, we must use their help to verify our Snake Spirit Clan!"

"Yes!" Hu You stood up and nodded.

"Elder, please don't be anxious. We can inform Hu Xinghe about this first and see his reaction. If he truly harbors ulterior motives, he'll likely expose himself before we even have a chance to invite the Snake Spirit Clan!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, the eyes of many Fox Clan leaders present lit up.

No problem! Everyone knows how terrifying the Nether Snake Mark. If this Hu Xinghe really has something wrong with him, wouldn't he be scared to death on the spot if he heard that we were going to use the Nether Snake Mark to verify his identity?

So that's right! Let's tell Hu Xinghe about this and see how he reacts!

Soon, Elder Hu You found Chu Xinghe, who had just been assigned a place to stay.

Without further ado, Elder Hu You presented the research findings from the Fox Clan Assembly. To help Chu Xinghe understand what the Nether Snake Mark was, Hu You explained it in detail, even recounting the Disgrace of Hu Ying to Chu Xinghe.

After Hu You finished speaking, she stared intently at Chu Xinghe, wanting to see how he would react.

If he's afraid, then there's something wrong with him!

If he hesitates or wavers, then it means there's something wrong with him!

If he dodges, then he's in the same boat!

But soon Hu You was stunned... because after Chu Xinghe finished listening, there was no fear... no hesitation... no evasion... only...

Excited?
