Chapter 388 - Fox Demons (2/2)

Purple lights swept the forest like a storm. Though Xiao Chen had unleashed his Immortal-override Steps in its entirety, he was still nearly hurt by those rays of light. He yelled, “Enough! I’m just joking with you…”

“Joking? I don’t have the mood to joke with you! Speak! What else did you do?!” At the tail of her sentence, several rays of light charged at him again.

“I didn’t do anything! If I really did something, do you think I’d be alive to talk to you?!” Xiao Chen tried to speak as he dodged.

It took a while before Su Lianyue finally calmed down. With a red face, a heaving chest, and rapid breathing, she glared at Xiao Chen who was hiding behind a large tree far away.

“Is, is it over?” Xiao Chen carefully poked his head out. “Thump!” The large tree snapped at the spot where the top of his head was.

“I’m going to wipe out all the fox demons here sooner or later, lest they harm the humans of this world!” Su Lianyue still looked like she was ready to kill.

Xiao Chen coughed and walked out of the forest. Why did he have the feeling that he was bullying her? But this demoness’ unexpected side was something he didn’t think he would see.

After this little incident, their mood seemed to have taken a somewhat strange quality. Neither of them said anything throughout their journey. Every time Xiao Chen thought of how that fox demon seduced them, he would shiver for no reason. How could the quick-witted Su Lianyue not be able to guess what he was thinking from his reaction? She could only gnash her teeth in anger.

It was nearly two hours later when they entered an area of the forest shrouded with even denser fog. When they faintly hear the pleasurable moaning of men and women in front of them, they quickened their pace. What they saw was seven to eight men suspended in the air, their bodies entwined by several foxes’ tails as their vital essence was repeatedly absorbed. Their faces, however, were filled with intoxication.

“Take this, you evil creatures!”

“Swish!” The Unsullied Sword turned into a drawn-out ray of light and flew in their direction, cutting off the foxes’ tails. With a yelp, the foxes immediately ran and disappeared among the fog. The men fell to the ground, their faces a frightening shade of white and their eyes glazed over. They didn’t even have the strength to stand.

Noticing the sudden appearance of a pair of man and woman, one of them asked weakly, “Wh-Where is this… Wh-Who are you…”

These men’s messy clothing and their bewitched expressions earlier made Su Lianyue even more resentful. She flicked her sleeves and her purple rays of light immediately drew blood, claiming these men’s lives.

“There is no good man in this world!”

Xiao Chen shrugged, pretending he didn’t see anything. These men had most of their vital energy absorbed, so they wouldn’t live long either. Su Lianyue glared at him. “You’re no different either!”

He didn’t argue with her. They continued going for another five kilometers or so, where they saw no less than a hundred corpses. These people had all died from the depletion of their vital essence. Even more ironic was the fact that most of them wore the apparel of Orthodox sects’ disciples. On the contrary, there were only very few Devil’s Practice followers among the body count.

Su Lianyue sneered. “This is your so-called Orthodox Path.”

Xiao Chen frowned deeply but didn’t argue with her. These people all died in bliss, so none would harbor malicious grudges. Besides, they had their vital essence absorbed. Not even the Corpse Refinery Sect would want these corpses. That was why this forest would accumulate its sea of bones over the years.

“I’ve long heard of a Cave of a Thousand Foxes near the Mountain of Myriad Caves, with countless foxes and a nine-tailed fox with thousand-year cultivation. You have to be very careful, Young Master.” Su Lianyue’s gaze lingered on his face but a faint, curious smile crept onto her face when she saw him standing in place like a block of wood. She snorted and continued walking.

“Thank you for the reminder, Fairy.” Xiao Chen followed her and they continued walking until the fog gradually began to clear up. However, that was only because the Negative Qi around them had gotten denser. 500 meters ahead of them was an expanse of white fog.

Over there, the white fog rolled and shifted incessantly as if monsters were pulling strings from within. The place formed a zone with gravitational force, looking like a deep and unmeasurable whirlpool on the seabed.

When they went near, they instantly felt an enormous spatial force. Xiao Chen couldn’t even use his Divine Sense to get a feel of what was going on inside. Frowning, he said, “It must be the Ghost-wailing Hill inside, the origin of the unnatural phenomenon last night.”

“Be careful.” Su Lianyue’s voice was rather emotionless. She titled the tip of her foot and flew into the whirlpool at the heart of the white fog, her purple dress fluttering around her. In a split second, as if the whirlpool had sucked her in, she vanished without a trace.

Xiao Chen cast a spell and the white glow coating the Unsullied Sword brightened sharply, shrouding him in it. He also followed suit in flying into the whirlpool. The moment he stepped inside, he felt a great restrictive force that made it difficult to breathe. He felt as if a tremendous, incorporeal force was dragging him into a different place. The white fog filled his vision so much so that he couldn’t see anything else. It was like he was hovering in the sky.
