Why Was the Fox Ancestress So 'Enthusiastic'?
The Fox Ancestress's 'enthusiasm' was somewhat unexpected by Wu Chu.
For Wu Chu, it's always best to stay away from trouble. Who would deliberately create trouble for themselves? Especially since this isn't a small problem; if he's not careful, he could face retaliation from the strongest beings in the Primordial Land.
When Wu Chu first encountered Houtu, he didn't have this thought because he knew what kind of being Houtu, and he knew how powerful the Witch Clan was.
But this Qingqiu Fox, she probably didn't even survive the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.
Wu Chu didn't believe that, given their current relationship, the Fox Ancestress would risk the future of the entire clan for him.
So, why did the Fox Ancestress do this?
Seeing Wu Chu's puzzled expression, the Fox Ancestress smiled and said, "If I were to back down today because of these unknown dangers, would you also back down if my clan were to seek your help in the future? Effort and reward are mutual. Otherwise, how could I ask for your help if my clan were to need it in the future?"
Well!
This is a very simple theory of effort and reward.
Wu Chu realized that he had overcomplicated things.
Sure enough, in this era, the people of the Primordial Land were still quite simple-minded. Even the Fox Clan, which was known for its wisdom, was not actually that cunning.
As for why the other party did this even though they knew his cultivation level wasn't very high, it was obvious that they were after the Merit Supreme Treasure he possessed, as well as the Great Dao fellow cultivators he had befriended.
Although she didn't yet know what kind of brilliant achievements Wu Chu's fellow Daoists would make on this Primordial Land in the future, all she needed to know was that Wu Chu was acquainted with that senior who possessed the vast Purple Qi, and that was enough for her to do so.
Once you understand these things, there's no need to be surprised why the Fox Ancestress was so 'enthusiastic'.
Wu Chu nodded slightly and said, "That may be true, but I still think we should pretend for now. If you don't mind, then please bear with me for a moment and act as a junior disciple of our Purple Jade Mountain, and come with me to meet those enemies."
"What's so difficult about that?" The Fox Ancestress chuckled, spun around, and transformed into Little Moon Spirit's usual appearance. She winked at Wu Chu, "Brother A Chu, do I look like her?"
Wu Chu's lips twitched slightly. He nodded and said, "When you smile, squint your big eyes a little more, and don't wrinkle your little nose so much, then you'll look even more like him."
Is that so?
'Little Moon Spirit' squinted her big eyes slightly, making them look like crescent moons, and playfully wrinkled her little nose at him, just like the usual Little Moon Spirit. The Little Fox standing to the side was dumbfounded, completely unable to tell the difference.
"That's it!" Wu Chu laughed heartily, turned around and went back to the Main Hall. "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment!"
Upon entering the Main Hall, Wu Chu Chuchao, the ancestor's Puppet, bowed and said, "Please forgive me, senior, another demonic invasion has occurred. I do not know if it is a hidden avatar of that Demon Lord. I must take this avatar of yours with me. Please lend me your assistance!"
After saying this, he bowed again, then reached out and picked up the Puppet, hiding it in his sleeve.
"Fellow Daoist, let's go!"
After leaving the Main Hall, Wu Chu spoke, then rode on a cloud and flew into the sky.
With the ancestor's clone present, a Daluo Realm Fox Ancestress by his side, and the Merit Supreme Treasure Yi Yibao within his body, Wu Chu was truly confident.
The two soared into the air, a flash of purple light enveloped their figures, and then they vanished from their spot in an instant.
When the two reappeared, they were already hundreds of thousands of miles away in the sky, at the edge of the Guardian Formation.
This involves using the power of the Guardian Formation to perform long-distance instantaneous movement within the array's coverage area. It consumes the array's energy and can only be used by the array's controller.
The array controller of Purple Jade Mountain is the Sacred Tree Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple. This Mountain Protection Array is its companion spirit array, which belongs to the Innate array, so it consumes the energy of the Sacred Tree.
The Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple Sacred Tree has now become Wu Chu's Companion Spirit Root, so Wu Chu can also utilize this ability.
In the distance, a strong wind howled, and a group of demons rode the wind, heading towards this direction amidst Rolling black clouds. Hundreds and thousands of demons, large and small, were hidden among them.
However, these monsters were disorderly, and the procession looked disorganized. Although it appeared noisy and imposing, the banners were scattered, giving the impression of a rabble.
Having witnessed the awe-inspiring presence of our nation's soldiers during the grand military parade, Wu Chu found these soldiers, who couldn't even form proper ranks, utterly insignificant.
The demon king in the lead was quite imposing, with a hooked nose, piercing eyes like an eagle's, a strange white pattern on his forehead, and multicolored, flamboyant hair. Although not tall, he looked quite fierce.
Wu Chu and the Fox Ancestress appeared before the group of demons and asked, "Who are you? Why have you trespassed on my Purple Jade Mountain territory?"
Of course, this question sounded a bit like he was asking a question he already knew the answer to, because he had already seen several familiar figures among the monsters, and had also heard some of the monsters say that the White Ye King looked like him. Judging from the appearance of the leading monster king, he did indeed look somewhat like the White Ye King that the lesser monsters had been talking about.
Wu Chu found it rather strange; the White Ye King had arrived far too quickly. Only a year had passed in total. Could it be that the White Ye King had been waiting for him all along the way?
If that's the case, then it can only mean that the White Ye King has also fallen into demonic possession; otherwise, why would he be waiting for him halfway there?
If the White Ye King is here, then where is his demon general Zhujian?
Do these monsters know how to scheme now?
A hint of doubt flashed in Wu Chu's eyes as he transmitted his voice to the Fox Ancestress, "Qingqiu, could you please help me see if there are any powerful beings hiding behind those black clouds?"
"Okay!" Little Moon Spirit version of the Fox Ancestress nodded slightly.
At the same time, Wu Chu asked Yibao in his mind, "Yibao, can you sense if the other person has any hidden demonic energy? I don't think I can sense it!"
"It's as obvious as a lighthouse in the dark, how come you can't sense it?"
Faced with Yibao's merciless criticism, Wu Chu could only explain by saying that his cultivation level was far inferior to hers. He guessed that this demon king's cultivation level was also at the Golden Immortal Realm.
The White Ye King's eagle eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "The master of Purple Jade Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves? Didn't you summon me here to discuss releasing my demonic brothers? I am the White Ye King!"
"Oh? You've arrived quite quickly!" Wu Chu chuckled and said, "Then, shouldn't the White Ye King give me an explanation as to why the creatures of Tianmu Mountain are causing trouble here?"
At this moment, the Little Moon Spirit Fox Ancestress transmitted a message to Wu Chu, "There are no other powerful beings. The beings in the black clouds are also of average cultivation, mostly at the Earth Immortal Realm or Heavenly Immortal Realm. However, the White Ye King is leading them, although only at the early Golden Immortal level, seems to have a powerful hidden force within him. With this force, he could briefly reach the Taiyi Realm."
She paused, then transmitted her voice again, "However, I've heard that the White Ye King's true form is a bird, but this White Ye King's aura doesn't seem to belong to a bird."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chu blinked and chuckled inwardly: So, this White Ye King is an imposter? We've really come to the same conclusion; you've got some brains! Zhujian Demon General!
However, since the Demon Ancestor's avatar did not descend, the Ancestor's avatar Puppet can be saved!
Praise!
