Hu Family Garden, beneath the Fox-Pressing Pagoda.
In the dim depths beneath the pagoda, Hu Hanyi, dressed in a business suit, once again approached the sealed area with a fawning smile.
The seven-tailed, multicolored fox appeared again on the bronze mirror suspended in midair, her bearing languid and elegant, with a hint of ancient nobility.
She gave Hu Hanyi a lazy once-over and said softly, "You haven't brought what I wanted."
"Fox Demon Lady, that is precisely what I came to report to you." Hu Hanyi was all smiles. "There was a slight mishap in the Fox Demon Tomb."
"My tomb was extremely well hidden. I already told you its rules and gave you a Jade Slip with directions." The Fox Demon Lady asked unhurriedly, "What could possibly have gone wrong?"
"The problem is that Daoist Guaguang also learned where the tomb was!" Hu Hanyi said loudly. "I sent a Family Clan elder down with a large team to find the Remnant Thought Pearl you wanted, but not one of them came back!"
"The Supernatural Affairs Bureau has now destroyed that tomb. I don't know how they got the informa-The Demon Corpse you shed and that Remnant Thought Pearl have both vanished. Fox Demon Lady, it wasn't for lack of effort on my Family Clan's part. The enemy was simply too powerful-"
