Could it be like the intent of the Flowing Cloud Saber as well—not fully perfected, and thus flawed because it was incomplete?
After a while, Lin Xin could find no other explanation and had no choice but to let it go.
He turned to leave, but just as he was about to fly away, another whistle reached his ears. The little jade fox who had only just flown off had actually returned.
She landed swiftly behind him.
"Senior, please wait!"
Lin Xin was slightly taken aback and glanced at her.
"Why have you come back?"
The little jade fox looked despondent.
"This junior... this junior has nowhere left to go..."
After a brief thought, Lin Xin knew she was not lying.
So long as jade foxes took human form, they were peerless beauties, deeply coveted by humans and demons alike. Countless were captured and made into female slaves. The Jade Fox King could barely protect her clanspeople in the first place, but now that sole umbrella of protection had been killed by Lin Xin. Even the old Demon King the Jade Fox King had lured over had died as well. The jade fox clan had lost its backer.
The outcome was easy to imagine.
Looking helpless, the little jade fox revealed a pink gemstone in her hand.
"This junior had not flown far before receiving the Clan Warning Talisman that had been blocked before. The jade fox clan... is gone..."
Lin Xin glanced at the gemstone, reached out, and drew it over into his hand.
Within it was a brief scene.
Pink pavilions and towers had all been crushed by some enormous force, reduced to ruins.
Aside from paintings of beautiful demon foxes still remaining on a few broken walls, there was not the slightest trace of any jade foxes
