The Power Behind the Nine-Tails Demon Fox

Clearly, Ye Xuan's answer pleased her immensely, filling her heart with joy.

At last, she gracefully bowed before him once more. This was already the fourth time she had bowed before Ye Xuan.

Each time, she submitted more willingly than the last.

"As expected of the Human Emperor, the shared sovereign of heaven and earth. Your wisdom and strategies are boundless, and your majesty is without equal. I admire you greatly; even a saint could be no more than this."

"When Empress Nuwa sent me to take advantage of the grievances in the palace and told me to remain by the Human Emperor's side from then on, I was actually somewhat unwilling."

"Even knowing that this deed would bring immeasurable merit, I still felt somewhat ill at ease. But today, having witnessed the Human Emperor's vast divine might, my heart is stirred. From this day forth, I willingly offer to serve at your side, pour your tea and water, and attend to your daily needs, finding it as sweet as a drink. Would Your Majesty be willing to accept me?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan felt a faint stir in his heart.

He gave the peerless demoness before him a peculiar look.

This was the foremost demon consort of all time, as well as the leader of the fox clan in the Primordial World, the Fox Lord of Green Mound.

Had she really been conquered by his kingly aura just like that?

However he thought about it, it felt like a dream, too unreal to believe.

Even so, Ye Xuan still had some doubts.

This woman might well be a ticking time bomb. One wrong move, and he really could capsize in a gutter.

In the end, he decided it was better not to touch her for the time being.

If he died on top of her again, he would be truly screwed.

Ye Xuan pondered for a long time before finally deciding to change the subject.

"Since you are the Fox Lord of Green Mound, how many members does your Green Mound demon fox lineage have in total now?"

The utterly enchanting Su Daji replied softly:

"Your Majesty, the Human Emperor, our Green Mound demon fox lineage seldom involves itself in worldly affairs, so we have managed to accumulate some strength."

"We have over a hundred thousand demon foxes who have awakened their intelligence."

"More than sixty thousand have reached the Earth Immortal realm and can take human form."

"More than twenty thousand are at the Heavenly Immortal realm or above and possess considerable combat strength."

"Among them, there are roughly ten thousand three-tailed demon foxes and more than three thousand six-tailed demon foxes."

"Only the two elders of our clan have reached eight tails. I alone have nine."

Ye Xuan was startled by this.

He had never imagined that this Green Mound demon fox clan would possess such immense strength.

A hundred thousand had awakened their intelligence.

Sixty thousand could take human form.

Twenty thousand had exceptional combat strength.

There were also plenty with three or six tails.

In that case, the world really had underestimated this demon fox who brought chaos to Yin Shang.

It seemed this Fox Lord of Green Mound was far beyond what ordinary people imagined.

Delighted, Ye Xuan could not help but gaze at Su Daji as he spoke:

"Since your Green Mound lineage has such great numbers, I would like to borrow some of your people. Would you be willing?"

Su Daji cast Ye Xuan an alluring glance, an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes.

Her voice also became somewhat sweet and playful:

"What are you saying, Your Majesty?"

"Since the Holy Mother instructed me to serve by the Human Emperor's side, I naturally belong to Your Majesty."

"My people are naturally Your Majesty's subjects as well. I only hope that Your Majesty will show compassion to the demon fox lineage. It has not been easy for the Green Mound demon foxes to carry on their legacy to this day, and I do not wish for the Green Mound lineage to perish at my hands."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded. His gaze then grew somewhat profound as he raised his head and looked into the distance.

"Though I hold the exalted position of Human Emperor, the shared sovereign of heaven and earth, in truth I am also walking on thin ice."

"Take Chaoge City, for example. In truth, it is not an impregnable fortress. Its various powers are tangled and complex, and even I, the Human Emperor, cannot rest easy."

"Then there is the realm of Cheng Tang, which has been passed down for over six hundred years. Most of the eight hundred vassals under heaven, including the Four Great Vassal Kings, outwardly submit while defying me in secret, merely going through the motions."

"In recent years, the winds and rains have not come in their seasons, leaving the people throughout the realm destitute. The whole of Yin Shang's realm is swaying in the wind and rain, teetering on the brink."

"At present, great chaos is imminent throughout the realm. Though I am in Chaoge, I am like a blind tiger, cut off from information and unable to see clearly. The realm is also in danger of being overturned."

"I intend to set the realm in order and make the divine might of Yin Shang shine."

"The foremost task is to establish an intelligence organization without equal."

"As it happens, most of the women of your demon fox lineage are beautiful. If members of your Green Mound lineage formed an organization dedicated to gathering intelligence, nothing could be more suitable. It would be as easy as lifting a hand for your people."

"There is no need to call upon the higher ranks of Green Mound. All I need is twenty or thirty thousand demon foxes capable of taking human form to lie hidden throughout Yin Shang and gather intelligence."

"Besides that, I only need some demon foxes who have awakened their intelligence to pass the information along. What do you think?"

At these words, the Fox Lord of Green Mound's eyes lit up.

After giving it careful thought, she immediately felt that the plan held great promise.

For one thing, it would not harm the foundations of the Green Mound demon fox lineage.

There was no need to call upon Green Mound's higher ranks at all.

For another, if it really succeeded, the organization would become not only the Human Emperor's eyes and ears, but also those of her Green Mound demon fox lineage.

It was practically killing two birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty truly thinks of everything. If this intelligence organization is successfully established, it will surely become Your Majesty's eyes and ears."

"From then on, the major affairs of Yin Shang will never again escape Your Majesty's control. I shall begin making arrangements immediately."

"I will strive to establish it for Your Majesty as soon as possible. But what should this organization be called?"

Ye Xuan pondered briefly.

"Since this intelligence organization is to be established by your Green Mound demon fox lineage, you shall be its leader."

"As for its name, let us take it from the sacred land of your demon foxes: the Green Mound Shadow Guards!"

"Green Mound Shadow Guards-"

Su Daji silently repeated the name several times and immediately felt somewhat gratified.

Ye Xuan was naturally pleased as well.

As someone who had transmigrated, he naturally knew the importance of an intelligence organization.

If this intelligence organization really could be established, it would undoubtedly be the first super special forces unit of the Primordial World.

It would be an underground covert organization, primarily engaged in espionage and stealing intelligence.

The women of the demon fox clan were all beautiful. If they were the ones stealing intelligence, it would likely be quite easy.

In that case, not even the slightest rustle of wind or stir of grass in Yin Shang's realm would escape his eyes and ears.

If it really could be established, he would have two special forces units at his disposal.

The first was the war elephant cavalry that stormed cities and strongholds.

The second was the Green Mound Shadow Guards who gathered intelligence.

Ye Xuan then discussed the plans for the Green Mound Shadow Guards in detail with Su Daji, the Fox Lord of Green Mound.

They also discussed the general framework for establishing it.

Many of the theories were things Su Daji had never heard or seen before. Hearing them was like having divine wisdom poured into her head, and her admiration knew no bounds.

Just as the Human Emperor and Su Daji were talking in secret,

Saint Nuwa had arrived at a special place.

Saint Nuwa had found the person she was looking for.
