Full Moon Ancient Well.
Beside the well.
The Three-tailed Fox Demon, who had been standing there, ready to accept her death, froze for a moment. She stared blankly at the people before her, listening to Ye Changfeng's words, and felt her heart tremble...
The Three-tailed Fox Demon clutched the Mysterious Fire Mirror tightly.
At that moment.
Her hand suddenly relaxed.
"That's right..."
She lowered her head in silence. A trace of misery crossed her beautiful face, her expression utterly blank. In a voice filled with resentment, she murmured to herself:
"We only did what we had to do."
"Why..."
"Why can't they show us even a little reason?"
"They hunted us down and tried to wipe us out. They've been pursuing us for three whole centuries."
A thread of venom flashed in the Three-tailed Fox Demon's eyes.
At that moment.
Hearing the Three-tailed Fox Demon mutter to herself, Lu Xueqi and the others were all at a loss.
They'd been hunted for three centuries?
By whom?
Who had been hunting them?
Ye Changfeng looked at the Three-tailed Fox Demon calmly.
He knew all about the Fox Clan's past, naturally, but...
Why had they tried to seize the Mysterious Fire Mirror?
That, he didn't know.
"Phew—"
The Three-tailed Fox Demon took a deep breath.
She reined in her emotions a little, then raised her eyes to look at Ye Changfeng and the others. In a quiet voice, she said:
"I'll compensate the people of Little Pond Town for their losses. After that, I'll take Sixth Brother and leave."
With that.
The Three-tailed Fox Demon added softly:
"Thank you."
"Mm."
Ye Changfeng gave a slight nod.
Just then.
The Three-tailed Fox Demon noticed Lu Xueqi.
For some reason, she felt that Lu Xueqi seemed familiar.
"You..."
"Are you from the Qingyun Sect?!"
