The Divine Land expanse of land, vast and boundless After subtracting people ere known as the spirits of the ten of thousands of creations, innuether with humans in this space between Heaven and Earth Like a household having chicken, duck, pig and dogs, ferocious beasts like panther, wolf, tiger and jackal, were all what humans commonly known and seen
And since ancient times, different kinds of rumours had travelled and spread in the world, in the Divine Land surrounding secluded wildlands, a the barren mountains and unruly rivers, there were soent beasts, remnant species of the chaotic primeval times left in the mortal world In the next hundred thousand years, countless tales of hot-blooded youths travelling over htfully talked about, spreading around by word of mouths
And in those ht not be the est monster but without any doubt, the fox spirit species was the most mysterious, end that had some human relationshi+ps
Like the ‘Black Water Mystical Viper’ type of ancient huge beasts which had becaet of those countless youths ished to prove their abilities and training, the fox spirits instead when h there had also been always folktales where the fox spirits inflicted injuries on humans but the difference as compared with the other creatures was, the fox spirit race usually leave behind touching stories of falling in love with a hu humans, was really a prominent and unusual matter
Of course, all these were just spread by the ordinary folks, coenuine cultivators’ eyes, the fox spirit clan was a group of extreth were unlike the Black Water Mystical Viper those kind of inconceivable ancient demonic beasts but those fox spirits instead understood the relationshi+ps between huends even said that when their cultivations reached a certain level, the fox spirits would develop an ability to transfornant human and demon love tales
And within the fox spirit clan, there was a faent andTaoism cultivation, the number of tails would continue to increase, a hundred years of cultivation would have three tails, known as demon fox; thousand years of cultivation would have six tails, known as elk fox; and until the stage of nine tails, it would be the supreme realm of the mortal demonic creatures, nobody knew exactly how many years of cultivation it would take to reach that realend, when the fox spirit had reached the level of nine tails, it was already an unequalled demon, its power exceeded deity, known as ‘Nine tailed Celestial Fox’!
Just that this legend was too mystical, not many common people knew about it but in Ghost Li’s heart, it was as clear as a o, in that Fire Dragon Cave, that pair of fox spirit figures dying for love, was the first jolt in his life to his once unwavering faith
Even until now occasionally in his dreaure, was still vaguely distinct
Faint streahts fros, causing the third level of the altar to constantly waver between brightness and darkness In front of Ghost Li and Xiao Hui, from the deepest recesses of the darkness, in the faint eerie blue lights, an enored
A white fox, a gigantic white fox!
This was the first tiantic white fox, fro, he could see that the white fox ice as high as hiht, that pure white fur body was still so beautiful, the smooth fur was like the best silk cloth in Central Plains
This was a creature that captivated the hulance, just that its body was so massive, subconsciously it felt somehow scary And in reality, this white fox was in an extreitated state
The altar space which was initially tranquil, right noas filled with the white fox’s wails and howls, the pair of deep black eyes set on the fair and white skin, right noas filled with madness
The blue lights becahter, somehoind had started to blow Ghost Li’s clothes flapped in the wind, Xiao Hui’s shrieked out loud, bared its teeth at that white fox,stances
Abruptly, a screa the ground, it actually stood up and al frozen ice radiated brightly with blue light, in the ruht of threetowards Ghost Li
Ghost Li frowned, the Soul-Absorbing stick gloith dark-green light, swiftly carrying hiures shi+fted, two of the enor explosion, broken ice scattered all around
Before they even ca faint blue light, lighted up at the say increased tre blocks of ice slowly floated up into the air, glittering profusely, extrenificent
Ghost Li frowned even deeper, this nine-tailed celestial fox’s evil poas as expected powerful, those demonic beasts that he had encountered the past years, other than the unie beast Black Water Mystical Viper, this nine-tailed celestial fox in front of hiest
However, when his eyes looked past those innuhts, that white figure with eyes filled with grief and anguish, it was an expression he had not seen for a long ties, started to oscillate in his heart, no ainst this white fox
Just that while he was hesitating, the nine-tailed celestial foxin the air streaked over with lightning speed, as if they had received a mysterious command
Ghost Li’s face turned cold, stretched to grab Xiao Hui and hugged it in his boso stick and flew to the side In a hts flashed everywhere, the solid ice like rain, collided against each other incessantly In every flint-spark ht and blue solid ice, pursuing after that dark-green figure
The dark-green shadow like ghost, always escape at the critical ht, up or down, avoiding this never-ending layers of hail
The white fox’s sharp whistle turned even higher, just that for sory screa on, a dark-green figure suddenly flashed, out of nowhere Ghost Li had traversed those layers of ice and dashed near the white fox
The white fox was shocked, its beautiful white fur oing to conjure soht leapt up suddenly from behind, almost at the same time, the white fox’s body shuddered, like it had suffered a heavy blow, its eyes unfocused and in that instant, the evil power dissipated entirely, its body collapsed
And the next ht shot out, grabbed the white fox’s throat
The white fox groaned, its eyes showing i at its expression, it instead closed its eyes, as if resignated, waited to die
The place where the hand touched, it was icy cold yet still soft, Ghost Li’s hand landed on the white fox’s throat, the enormous body was just in front of him but for some reason, it was like a weak little bird in his hand
Xiao Hui crouching in Ghost Li’s bosom, suddenly softly called out
Ghost Li quietly looked at the white fox in front of him, sloithdrew his hand
The white fox slowly opened its eyes, reflecting into its eyes, was that ure in front of it
One hu at each other like that!
[Rumble]
Following the sound, that blizzarding hail behind Ghost Li, lost its de and started to fall, when the ice collided against each other, the ice crystals splattered everywhere, white icefroure
After a long tiradually settled down, Ghost Li and that white fox figures eain
Xiao Hui had again crawled up to Ghost Li’s shoulder, three of its eyes blinked and blinked, looked at Ghost Li and looked at the white fox again and then looked around, it suddenly developed an interest in the beautiful ice crystals scattered all around and jumped down from Ghost Li’s shoulder, sat on the floor, took up sohts and started to play with it
The white fox’s eyes, from Ghost Li shi+fted to Xiao Hui, it looked intently and then back to Ghost Li, after a while, said, “Why didn’t you kill me?”
Its voice had evidently calmed down Ghost Li did not answer ilanced behind the white fox, very quickly, he found the thing that he had suspected
A dark red chain as thick as a huht faintly e from the chain, even separated by a distance, one could feel that unusual power
The white fox had abruptly lost its pohile battling, evidently the chain had activated its power But it was not unusual too, if not for this powerful control, with the legendary celestial fox’s unmatched power, how could the Inferno Altar trap it?
The white fox stared at Ghost Li, Ghost Li did not answer its question, it seemed not to mind because what it was concerned about, was entirely another matter
“How about Xiao Liu? Is it that you killed him and then took the Inferno Mirror?” Its voice seemed low, as if exhausted
Ghost Li was silent, after a while he unhurriedly said, “The Xiao Liu that you mentioned, was it an elk fox who had six tails?”
The massive white fox’s body trembled and it lowered its head
“It is dead!” Ghost Li’s voice was not loud but clearly said
The white fox’s eyes looked to the ground in front of it, dimly said, “How?”
“Ten years ago, I withtwo friends heard that there were so trouble below Little Pond Town Black Stone Cave and so went to investigate” Ghost Li’s face was still as water, indifferently spoke about the past For the ently reverberated, occasionally Xiao Hui could be heard playing
“Until the end, it saw that things were co to an end and the three-tailed fox was dead too, it decided to commit suicide, before it died, it tied the Inferno Mirror on my arm” Ghost Li took the Inferno Mirror out frohts, the ancient flahtly
The white fox stared blankly at the Inferno Mirror, after some time, it quietly said, “Xiao Liu was my son!”
……
The surrounding stillness seemed dead, Ghost Li looked at that sorrohite fox in front of hiraved deeply inside his heart, that white fox figure entering the molten lava, as clear as if it was in front of him
Ten years of time, like it was just only yesterday
What was it, that quietly changed, your heart my heart?
“The death of your son, I am partly to blame” Ghost Li faintly spoke, “In the future if you have the chance, go ahead and kill me”
