A God-tier Move
Look!
Look over there!!
"The Demon-Suppressing Pagoda has collapsed!"
In an instant, dark clouds surged, and the wind howled and thunder roared.
A thunderbolt struck down from the western sky.
The Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, which had stood for a thousand years, collapsed suddenly before the eyes of all the demons!
Chapter 61 Amazing Operation
"The chaos at Demon Moon Mountain was not a trap to kill the Fox King, but rather an operation by the Fox King to purge the Fox Clan from within."
Under the watchful eyes of all the demons, Zi Yu slowly recounted the truth of the whole affair.
Since the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was erected and the power of the Demon Race race declined, it has become difficult for powerful Demon Race to emerge. Their strength ranks last among the three races, and they have never been able to make a significant impact.
Demon Moon Mountain is the place with the most concentrated Yao Qi in the entire Demon Realm, and it is home to the Purple Fox Clan.
The Purple Fox Race is blessed with unique Demon Race races. Empress Dowager Zi Rong is the clan leader of the Purple Fox Clan. She was originally an abandoned child of the Fox Clan. Because she was born weak and blind, she was abandoned by her parents. By fortuitous opportunity, she was adopted by the previous clan leader.
The previous clan chief adopted her as his goddaughter, cured her eyes, and raised her. However, Zi Rong was not a particularly talented fox.
She wasn't even a purple fox.
"How is this possible?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The Fox Clan present all showed expressions of disbelief. How could they possibly mistake the Purple Fox Clan for the Purple Fox Clan? Moreover, Zi Rong's nine tails were not fake!
"How did a fox with impure blood, not a real purple fox, manage to disguise itself like this?" Zi Yu took out a small knife, stepped forward, and slashed Zi Rong's face.
With a gasp of surprise and heavy breathing from Zi Rong, her skin was torn open, and the outer layer of skin began to wrinkle, revealing another layer of skin and flesh underneath.
All demons:!
She was actually wearing a demonic skin on her own exterior!
Because the Demon Power had completely fused the two layers of skin and flesh, the process of peeling them off was excruciatingly painful, and Zi Rong's screams were extremely shrill. After the complete demonic skin was peeled off, she completely transformed into her original form—a weak fox with mottled fur, Demon Power was even weaker than that of Ye Xun.
The Demon Race present fell silent once again.
The same thought echoed in the hearts of all the demons: They are all complete fools.
The purple foxes stared intently at the nine-tailed demon skin attached to the Zi Yu's hand. With a thud, one after another, they knelt down on the ground, some even sobbing uncontrollably.
"Elder Chief!"
"Chieftain..."
They all recognized that the wrinkled, aged demon skin and the magnificent nine-tailed demon were skinned off the previous clan leader.
"To fuse with Demon Power, this skin must be intact, peeled off while the person is still alive." Zi Yu's voice was filled with pain and anger. "She raised you, yet you betrayed her, simply because she felt you weren't capable enough to succeed as clan leader. You harbored resentment towards her, and you killed her with your own hands."
The fox in the pit screamed, "I didn't! I didn't!!"
"How did it feel when you peeled off her skin and wore it on yourself?"
"I didn't do it! She did it willingly, she willingly gave me her skin! Because she's old, she's old and about to die! Since she's going to die anyway, isn't it better for her to give it to me?"
"You're utterly hopeless!" Zi Yu said. "Her fatal wound is on her back. Even with the fusion of Demon Power, this wound cannot be erased. What excuse do you have?"
Faced with that wound, Zi Rong was speechless.
The surrounding Fox Clan was furious. Over the years, they had revered Zi Rong as their clan leader because they could feel the familiar feeling of the old clan leader from her.
So that's why she felt that way—it was because she was wearing the skin of the old clan leader! And after the Demon Power merged, she was no longer the old clan leader, which is why she was fooled.
Who could have imagined that the old clan chief would be killed by the adopted daughter he raised himself, betrayed and even skinned alive? It's unimaginable how much suffering the old clan chief endured before his death.
They actually mistook the murderer of the old clan leader for the clan leader herself, and made the entire Fox Clan serve her. They are truly blind!
This bald fox is even more cruel, selfish, and vicious, completely crossing the line!
She deserves to die!
Another question arose in the minds of the demons.
"Who are you?"
Zi Yu has obvious characteristics of the Purple Fox Race, but they don't recognize her. Apart from an adopted daughter, the old clan chief left no other bloodline.
"Me?" Zi Yu smiled faintly, "I am not Fox Clan."
How is that possible?
"You clearly possess the aura of the Fox Clan, and your appearance..."
"Back then, Zi Rong killed the old patriarch on Demon Moon Mountain and skinned her fox at the cliff edge. The old patriarch's demon blood poured all over me," Zi Yu said calmly. "I am a thousand-year-old purple fungus that grew on Demon Moon Mountain. Because of the old patriarch's demon blood, I gained a portion of her Demon Power, which is why I can transform into a fox."
"I want to avenge the old clan chief, but Demon Moon Mountain has always been under her control. I can only wait for an opportunity."
The turmoil at Demon Moon Mountain was instigated by Zi Rong to eliminate several elders of the Fox Clan who were not loyal to her. On the day Demon Moon Mountain was closed, Zi Rong led her confidants to ambush and kill the elders. Unexpectedly, one of the elders picked on a weaker target and injured Ye Xun who was watching the commotion. To avoid the elder's deadly long-range attack, the Ye Xun patrolman fled in panic, escaping all the way to Human Race territory to avoid danger. This led to the events that followed.
She appeared near the border of the Demon Race realm, intending to see if there was an opportunity to intercept the Ye Xun. However, the patrol had the Purple Fox Race's help and secretly escaped back to the Demon King's Palace. She thought she was going to miss this opportunity again, but unexpectedly, her foolish disciples ran into Qiaoqiao and her group. Realizing that her chance had come, she followed them to the royal city.
She cast a grateful glance at Qiaoqiao and the others. Although they had brought chaos to the Demon Race, she didn't know when she would have had the chance to expose the true colors of Zi Rong's family without them.
