The Clan's Collective Allegiance
"At its peak, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan had three Samsara Stage Great Power. Since the Current Patriarch sealed the three Demon Kings with his own body in ancient times, no Cycle Stage Expert has been born in your clan."
"And every clansman who entered the Ancestral Soul Hall to seek answers after that has never reappeared alive. Have you never thought about why?"
Inside the hall, Lin Dong spoke to Xin Xuan and the other high-ranking members of the clan.
The three Demon Kings were extremely vicious. First, they joined forces to backfire on the Patriarch's will, and then they used his body to plant a bloodline curse, preventing the members of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan from reaching the supreme Nine-tailed Realm (Reincarnation Stage).
They lured their descendants into the Ancestral Soul Hall to find the answer, then slaughtered them all to accumulate enough flesh and blood for resurrection.
Those who are able to enter the Ancestral Soul Hall to find the answers are undoubtedly the most talented members of the clan. These contemporary elites have been systematically killed generation after generation, which is also the main reason for the continuous decline in the strength of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan.
If this continues, in less than a hundred years, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan will be wiped out by the Demon King and completely disappear from the Tianxuan Continent. This is a plan to exterminate the entire clan.
"Reason..."
The color drained from the faces of Xin Xuan and the other executives instantly, and they murmured in a daze.
For millennia, every outstanding member of the clan who entered the Ancestral Soul Hall in search of answers has perished one after another, with no one ever surviving. How could such an abnormal clan not have some suspicions?
However, for the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan, whose strength has been declining, the Ancestral Soul Hall is their only lifeline to return to their peak. The clan's higher-ups dare not make such a guess, let alone make such a guess.
Otherwise, if the tribespeople knew this, the tribe, having lost all hope, would immediately collapse.
"Lord Lin Dong, are you implying that there's a problem with the Ancestral Soul Hall?"
Xin Qing, her face pale, clenched her small hands, her expression filled with panic. She didn't have the same concerns as the higher-ups in the clan.
"To be precise, the problem lies with your ancestor. The vitality of the powerful Demon Clan is extremely tenacious, let alone the King Rank beings who are extremely difficult to kill. Your clan's ancient Patriarch, who suppressed three Demon Kings with his own body, has probably suffered a combined backlash from them."
Lin Dong nodded slightly.
"The combined backlash from the three Demon Kings..."
Exclamations and panic quickly spread throughout the hall.
According to the ancient records of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan, the king of the Demon Clan is a super existence comparable to the Reincarnation Stage. Not to mention three, even one of them could blow away the currently extremely weak Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan with a single wave of his hand.
Is there really no hope for their clan, and is it only right that they should be exterminated?
Upon hearing this, a deep sense of despair appeared on the faces of all the beauties in the hall. After holding on for thousands of years, this was the news they had finally received.
"What's there to be afraid of? How much power can the Demon King, sealed for ten thousand years, still have left? Destroying the remnants of the three Demon King is not an impossible task. Let Xin Qing accompany me on this journey, and I will resolve this calamity for you."
Lin Dong stood up abruptly and said calmly.
"Mother, if Lord Lin Dong, as a member of the Outer Clan, is so virtuous, then I, as the Young Patriarch of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan, have an even greater duty to do so."
The seemingly gentle but inwardly strong girl in white immediately stood up with Lin Dong, her gaze fixed intently on the Green-Clad Beauty, and on her own mother.
"Brother Lin Dong, no, Lord Lin Dong, if you can truly bring new hope to my clan, which has struggled for tens of thousands of years, then I am willing to follow the story of our ancestor and lead the entire Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan to serve you."
The elegant and beautiful woman bit her red lips with her silver teeth, as if she had made an important decision, and bowed gracefully.
"Patriarch..."
Several high-ranking members of the clan exclaimed in surprise, then fell silent.
Yes, do they have any other choice? No, this is the only thing the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan can currently offer, and it's a privilege that only their Current Patriarch or Young Patriarch can exercise.
"Serve with the whole clan? No need, I just want to help Xin Qing..."
Lin Dong waved his hand, but before he could finish speaking, Clan Patriarch Xin Xuan interrupted him.
"Lord Lin Dong, please do not refuse. Although our clan is weak, we know how to repay kindness. This is what our clan can offer at the moment. Please!"
A rare look of determination appeared on Xin Xuan's gentle face.
"Well... alright, but let's talk about everything after we return safely."
Looking at Clan Patriarch Xin Xuan, who was determined not to bow to him for a long time, Lin Dong raised an eyebrow and then agreed.
Lin Dong wasn't that kind of pretentious person. The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan, having shed its bloodline curse and risen again, had returned to the ranks of the Overlord Clan in the Demon Domain as soon as it emerged. Moreover, there were several Samsara Stage Great Power within the clan. Such strong assistance was exactly what he needed.
"Lord Lin Dong, please come with me. I will take you to the Ancestral Soul Hall."
Xin Xuan Patriarch Xinxuan smiled with relief, took light steps, and quickly walked out of the hall.
"Aunt Xin, you're too kind."
Majestic Ancient Hall, only three figures stood.
On the Ancient Altar, there is a stone statue of a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, about ten feet in size. The white fox, lying prostrate on the ground, has nine tails that pierce the sky, exuding a monstrous demonic aura.
"Ancestral Land, open!"
With a flick of her Xin Xuan, Xinxuan endured the excruciating pain and extracted a wisp of essence blood from the wound on her wrist. She quickly injected it into the forehead of the stone statue, and as the space rippled rapidly, a huge blood-red portal appeared.
"Aunt Xin, wait for our good news."
Lin Dong grabbed Xin Qing shoulders and together they swept into the blood-red portal.
"You must survive! Our race has waited far too long, far too long, until we're on the verge of collapse. Hope, we need hope..."
With a pale face, Xin Xuan smiled wearily and shakily dragged her delicate body out of the Ancestral Soul Hall. She was going to guard this place with the elders outside the hall until Lin Dong and the other person returned safely.
Within the Ancient Space filled with endless desolation, a boundless crimson ocean stretched before one's eyes. On a vast stone platform in the center of the ocean, a towering figure stood tall, reaching tens of thousands of feet.
She was a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in magnificent feathered robes, with an alluring face that could topple kingdoms. Even with her eyes closed, her captivating charm was enough to drive countless males mad.
Only the nine fluffy tails floating above her buttocks silently reminded the world of the beauty's identity—the Cycle Stage Ancestor of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan, the Patriarch leader from ancient times.
These are her remains.
"Lord Ancestor..."
The girl in white who had just stepped into this place felt a sudden pang of Sense Stage in her bloodline, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her beautiful eyes, falling into the sea.
Lin Dong remained silent, simply pulling the agitated girl in white away from her.
P. S.: I'm wondering if you guys have some kind of misunderstanding about the word "serve"? Here, "serve" means to be loyal, not to have the whole family sleep with someone. ε=(′ο`*))) Sigh.
