Mount Changbai.
At the foot of a seemingly ordinary hill.
Ooom.
There was a ripple in space, and soon, a ten-meter-long scarlet fox demon with a pair of wings over its back abruptly appeared on the grass.
The fox demon shook its fur as it landed and reared its head, baring its fangs and barking a few times at the skies, sneering smugly. "That trash Three Blades Lin wants to kill me?"
"This king has entered the holy grounds of our race and been granted daemonic cultivation methods by the elites of our race, along with a mediocre-grade soul weapon. My cultivation has improved greatly, and not even the Dragoncroc Emperor or the Golden-Winged Roc would be my match if they were alive."
That fox demon was the Scarlet Fox King that Three Blades Lin and Pei Donglai had hunted down all those days ago.
The Scarlet Fox King had been a Feral King at the time, but it was now a Feral Emperor. Moreover, it had obtained daemonic cultivation methods and a daemonic weapon granted by a fox elite, its ability had grown exponentially and its entire fox body was bloated.
It was considering …
Should it unite every Feral in the Hua Nation and stand against the Hua Nation … when the time comes, it could occasionally capture a handful of tender humans for a sumptuous feast.
After all, the Scarlet Fox King was a vicious character.
It had directly or indirectly caused the deaths of over a hundred thousand people, but not even the King Marquis could do anything about it since the elites of the fox race wanted to protect it.
As its cry echoed, several rank-eight and rank-nine Ferals darted toward it from the distance, prostrating themselves on the ground and exclaiming slogans such as' Welcome back, my king 'through spirit acoustics.
The Scarlet Fox King was immeasurably smug and spoke in human tongue, saying, "You've suffered in my absence."
"But now that I've returned, I won't let you suffer anymore."
"In fact, I'll even trade daemonic cultivation methods for you in the future, grant you daemonic weapons … and guide you to our holy grounds for cultivation."
The Scarlet Fox King began to brag.
In any case, bragging was free, and he could make these idiotic beasts follow him wholeheartedly. Why not?
Foxes were cunning.
A fox that could cultivate to this level was naturally even more cunning!
It had been a Feral King around Mount Changbai and Greater Khingan Mountains in the first place, and had many high-ranked Ferals under its command. However, after Jiang He had slain the Golden-Winged Roc and the Dragoncroc Emperor, the Hua Nation went on a killing spree, causing the Feral Kings within Hua Nation's borders to flee and go into hiding. Without the protection of a Feral King, the high-ranked Ferals in the Hua Nation benefited from it.
These high-ranked martial artists lived in groups of threes and fives, almost all of them living in the wilderness.
They hunted high-ranked Ferals, harvested their materials, and searched for floral spirits and rare treasures in the wildlands. In fact, even the Superpower Research Department's purchase price for Feral materials had been slightly lowered recently.
The Crimson Fox King immediately ordered his Ferocious Beasts to spread the news that he had returned and advanced to the Emperor level.
In just a few hours, nearly a thousand ferocious beasts had rushed over from the Changbai Mountains and the Greater Khingan Mountains to pay their respects to the Crimson Fox King … No, it should be the Crimson Fox Emperor.
Among the thousand Direbeasts, there were more than twenty high-ranked Direbeasts alone. All of them were communicating telepathically through Mentality, shouting, "Fox Emperor!"
That left the Crimson Fox King even more smug.
After all, it had lived a miserable life in the Holy Grounds of the Foxes.
Everything had to be bound by rules and regulations. How could it have the freedom it had in the mountains?
The rules of the Holy Grounds of the Foxes were strict, and the title of Daemon King was not something a mere Daemon Fox would dare to use. Only the Sufferance-tier daemons who had survived heavenly retributions would dare to call themselves kings. How could it not be smug now that it was addressed as the Fox Emperor?
It sat on a boulder and raised its head. The red fur on its body burned like flames as it spoke in human language, "This Emperor is aware of your situation. This Emperor will take care of the few powerful martial artist squads nearby …"
The fox demon did not notice that a sword beam had landed on the clouds in the sky.
Of course, it would not have noticed it given its cultivation.
Up above the clouds, Jiang He looked down in surprise.
It was a …
Feral Emperor?
"Wasn't it said that all the Feral Kings within the Hua Nation's borders were killed and hidden? Why would there be a Feral Emperor here at Mount Changbai? "
Jiang He's eyes twinkled as he stared down below.
The Feral Emperor's body was circulating daemonic yuan energy.
Was it a daemonic cultivator?
"Hold on … fox? The Holy Grounds of the Foxes of Mount Changbai? "
Jiang He could not help chuckling when he came to his senses. "I was worried on the way here. The chieftain of the Taixu Sect only told me that the Holy Grounds of the Foxes were at Mount Changbai, but did not specify where it was or how to enter … since that fellow is a daemonic cultivator, he should know how to enter their Holy Grounds, or at least contact them."
"Eh?"
Just as Jiang He was about to descend and capture the scarlet fox, an idea struck him as he remembered something.
Scarlet fox?
Wings on its back?
Human tongue?
Moreover, that fellow clearly had fire-type powers, which was why it could breathe fire, was it not?
"The Scarlet Fox King of the Greater Khingan Mountains? Is that it? I saw a thread about it right after I transmigrated, didn't I? " Jiang He's heart skipped a beat. Even now, he could clearly remember the title of that thread about the Scarlet Fox King of the Greater Khingan Mountains —
"Shocking! A red fox has appeared in the snowy lands of the Greater Khingan Mountains! It's as big as a calf and has a pair of wings on its back. It can speak and spit fire!"
The fellow in front of him, other than his physique, matched him in every other aspect.
As for its size?
That was not much since it was a Feral Emperor, and it was normal for it to be bigger.
"So, this is fate …"
Jiang He could not help smiling. Since he was sure that it was the Scarlet Fox King, he remembered how Three Blades Lin had complained about hunting it down. That fellow seemed to have caused the deaths of many people.
"That's it!"
"When I capture it, I'll send it to the Superpower Research Department and extract its blood essence day and night as a form of punishment."
At that thought …
Whoosh!
Jiang He descended from the skies, riding a white cloud.
"Who goes there?"
The Crimson Fox King stood up from the boulder with a swoosh. His eyes seemed to be shooting flames as he said in a deep voice, "Who are you? This is the territory of my fox clan. Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for making a move and killing you!"
The Scarlet Fox King was a little wary.
That fellow …
Who was it?
Was there such a powerful human in the human race?
Still, once it remembered that it was the Holy Ground of the Foxes that stood behind it, it became fearless and jumped off its boulder, baring its fangs and making a ferocious face as it coldly said, "Tell me your name right now. I, the Scarlet Fox Emperor, would never eat a nobody!"
Jiang He could not help laughing.
Was that fellow that blind?
He smiled. "I'm Jiang He."
"What?"
The Scarlet Fox King was stunned, but soon laughed out loud. "Haha! You're Jiang He, the human who slew the Dragoncroc Emperor and the Golden-Winged Roc? Good, good … I heard that you're not weak, and you would definitely be nourished after eating you. "
Jiang He: "…"
This time, it was his turn to be left dumbfounded.
What the hell.
Did I think too highly of myself?
Could my name not have that little bit of intimidation?
A mere Daemon Fox was not even taking me seriously?
Unbeknownst to Jiang He …
The Scarlet Fox King was nothing in the Holy Ground of the Foxes. How could it have the right to know about Jiang He's feats? It certainly did not know that Jiang He had wiped out the Penglai Sect and wounded the Green Fox King, an eight-retribution Daemon King from hundreds of miles away.
Jiang He was about to attack when he turned to look into the distance.
Space rippled in the distance, and an old man stepped out of the Holy Ground of the Foxes to greet him, saying, "I didn't know you were coming, Brother Jiang He. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you."
The elites of the Holy Ground of the Foxes sensed Jiang He's arrival the moment he arrived at Mount Changbai.
The reason they did not come out to greet him at once was because …
They were panicking!
That was why the elites of the Holy Ground of the Foxes were discussing how they should greet and face Jiang He. Even so, they did not expect that the Scarlet Fox King outside was clamoring about killing Jiang He before they could come to a decision …
That immediately scared the many elites of the Holy Ground of the Foxes half to death.
The old man landed in front of the Scarlet Fox King, shielding it behind him and squeezing out a smile, saying, "Brother Jiang He, this is a junior of my clan. It doesn't know your name, and I hope you would forgive it if it has offended you, Brother Jiang He."
Jiang He said nothing and punched out instead.
Kaboom!
Overwhelming qi and blood shot out with the force of a mountain toppling, the physical strength of a full-fledged Sufferance instantly bursting out. The old man's face fell, and he promptly reverted to his true form as a thousand-feet white fox, spitting out a daemonic weapon to block Jiang He's punch …
Even so …
It was merely a seventh-retribution elite.
Jiang He's single punch sent its daemonic weapon flying and the body of the thousand-feet white fox flying over several thousand meters. The shockwave from the punch also reduced the Scarlet Fox King and the thousand Ferals around it into a pile of meat paste.
Withdrawing his fist, Jiang He smiled. "Don't worry, Brother. Why would I stoop to the level of a little daemon … eh? Why is that little daemon dead?"
