Immortal Grove Mountain.
Tushan Xue stared blankly at the fallen corpse.
A sword had pierced Dong Qian between the brows.
Yet there was scarcely any blood around the wound.
The moment Qingyang Yu's demonic sword pierced her, it had drained her vital blood and Nascent Soul together.
Her once gentle face was now ashen as paper. Her eyes remained half-open, their pupils unfocused.
Only bewilderment lingered on her face.
As though, even at the moment of death, she had not understood why that sword had come for her.
Tushan Xue's lips trembled twice. Something seemed to explode inside her chest.
She jerked her head up toward Qingyang Yu, then toward the two Devil Lords above, her voice shrill. "You—you dared kill a member of our Heavenly Fox Clan!"
High Person Qingxuan sat cross-legged in the Void. Every blood-red eye covering his body turned toward Tushan Xue at once.
A mocking smile contorted his face, crowded with grotesque eyes. "Even now, Princess Tushan, you're still putting on an act?"
Tushan Xue went rigid.
High Person Qingxuan spoke unhurriedly, as though telling an amusing joke. "Weren't you the one who asked us to kill this clanswoman of yours?"
Tushan Xue's face went white in an instant.
Before she could argue, the Hatred-Severing Devil Lord lowered her head as well.
But first, the Devil Race powerhouse glanced at Dong Qian's corpse. Then she smiled knowingly.
Only then did she look up at Tushan Xue and smile enticingly. "And not just this Human-Fox Hybrid."
She raised a finger and gave it a gentle wag.
"You also asked us to kill Hu Shan. You said that was the only way the Heavenly Fox Clan would send a Body Integration Cultivator."
Tilting her head, she said with a grin, "Princess Tushan, you told me that yourself.
