"What about the second matter?" The first was so difficult that the second surely would not be easy either, but Shen Luo still asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.
"The second concerns my daughter, the Jade-Faced Princess. She was killed by the Pilgrim back then, and her soul returned to the Nine Netherworlds. Judging by how much time has passed, she should have reincarnated by now. If you could find my daughter, forget joining forces-the Bull Demon King would probably agree to anything you asked. But when the Demon Clan descended, the Nine Netherworlds also came under attack. It is said that the Reincarnation Well was shattered, leaving no one able to trace the paths of reincarnation..." the Ten-Thousand-Year Fox King said.
Shen Luo gave a bitter laugh. As expected, this was another nearly impossible task.
"That is the situation. Whether you can accomplish it will depend on your abilities, Fellow Daoist Shen." The Ten-Thousand-Year Fox King rose to take his leave.
"Senior Fox King, speaking of the Jade-Faced Princess, she perished at the hands of immortals and Buddhists, and the Bull Demon King hates them for it. As her father, you must harbor resentment too. Why are you willing to join forces with me?" Shen Luo escorted the Ten-Thousand-Year Fox King to the entrance of his cave abode. After a moment's hesitation, he asked the question anyway.
"I am not that stubborn bull. Though the vengeance owed for Jade Face is carved into my bones and heart, the lives of my other clansmen are lives too. I am merely doing what the chief of the Jade Fox Clan ought to do." The Ten-Thousand-Year Fox King gazed up at the sky, fell silent for a moment, then spoke calmly.
With that, he stepped forward and slowly walked away.
