The soul fragment was dumbstruck.
He was rather bewildered.
Even when Jiang He had single-handedly pushed back two True Immortals and several Heavenly Immortals, displaying frightening combat ability despite being Heavenly Immortals, he was not as bewildered as he was now even though he was shocked and panicked.
In his twenties?
Was he not two hundred?
Could he have heard wrongly?
Right now, he was a soul fragment in the form of an illusory white fox with five tails.
His fox eyes leveled suspiciously at Jiang He as he said, "Brother, you have cultivated up to full-fledged Heavenly Immortal in your twenties, condensing 108 Heavenly Immortal Dao and matching Golden Immortals in combat ability. It is truly unbelievable, and not even the peerless prodigies of the celestial battlefield are comparable to you."
"Eh?"
Jiang He's eyes widened as he raised his palm to slap him, only to lower it as he coldly said, "If you weren't just a soul fragment, I would have given you a good beating. I've already told you that I'm in my twenties, but you just had to be so stubborn. Did you really think that I wouldn't kill you?"
Even as he cursed, he realized that his words were a little rough. After all, he was a full-fledged Heavenly Immortal — how could he be so vulgar?
Hence, he shook his head and said, "Whatever. Why waste my breath on trash like you? Hu Mei, search his soul! "
"No, no, no!"
The Immortal Fox's soul fragment promptly cried, "Don't search me, don't search me! I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"The Green Hill Foxes are considered a faction in the celestial battlefield. We have two Grand Luo and thirteen Golden Immortals, two of whom are handmaidens of Mother Nüwa."
"As for the immortals from the other immortal sects on the homeworld, they are recuperating on the Horned Dragon Star in the Three Coves Quadrant, and would only return after some time."
"By the way, our clan also has an innate soul treasure and several acquired soul treasures. The ancient bell you took is called the Primordial Bell, and our Grand Luo found it in the celestial battlefield."
"The one you killed before was an elder of our clan, one of our thirteen Golden Immortals, and his name is …"
Jiang He was left gaping.
What the hell.
Was this True Immortal Fox that cowardly?
There was so much information that Jiang He did not even think to ask, and yet the Immortal Fox spilled everything at once. He only stopped after several minutes, and looked at Jiang He with fawning eyes.
"How would I know if you're telling the truth?"
"Hu Mei, search …"
Even before Jiang He finished, the soul fragment exclaimed, "Don't worry, Brother! Every word I've said is true, and if there's a single lie in what I've just said, my Grand Luo would die without a burial ground."
Jiang He was dumbstruck.
Hiss!
He sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at this remnant soul in shock …
What a guy!
This was a ruthless person!
With that thought, Jiang He took out a shiny collar with a flip of his hand, saying, "You can live if you want to. Wear this!"
"Spirit Beast Bracelet?"
The remnant soul shuddered.
The shining collar was none other than the Spirit Animal Ring, which Jiang He had plundered from the nine factions.
He also had a Spirit Animal Ring that he had grown from the Mysterious Seed. However, the Spirit Animal Ring he had grown was quite mystical, and could capture any daemon with a weaker psyche than Jiang He. That was why Jiang He decided to keep it, and capture a divine beast as a pet in the future.
Against the remnant soul of a True Immortal Fox Demon, an ordinary Spirit Beast Bracelet would suffice.
There was a look of struggle on the remnant soul's face.
He was very clear about the function of the Spirit Animal Ring. Once he put it on, his life would be completely out of his control, and if the owner of the Spirit Animal Ring wanted him dead, he could kill him with a single thought even if they were in a distant planetary system.
Even so …
He was even more aware that he would die immediately if he did not put on the Spirit Animal Ring.
Hence, he sprawled over Jiang He's palm and said in a prostrating manner, "I'm willing to put on the Spirit Animal Ring. Please spare my life."
Ooom!
Jiang He charged the Spirit Animal Ring, which promptly turned into a streak of light and tunneled into the remnant soul. Since the remnant soul did not resist at all, Jiang He quickly gained full control over it.
In that very moment, Jiang He felt a weird sensation in his heart.
If he wanted to, the Daemon Fox's thoughts would not escape his senses.
If he wanted to, he could destroy the Daemon Fox's psyche with a single thought and utterly fall.
"Master!"
The remnant soul was on its knees again, but this time, it was much more respectful than before as it bowed and said, "Master, there is a problem with the information I told you before. The Green Hill Foxes do not only have two Grand Luo, but three, although one of them is stationed at the celestial battlefield and would not leave on a whim."
"Moreover, the Green Hill Foxes have twenty-three Grand Luo, two of whom are handmaidens of Nuwa's Palace, ten of whom are stationed at the celestial battlefield, and eleven of whom are stationed at the clan … but now, there are only twenty-two of them left."
Jiang He was dumbstruck.
Damn it!
He had thought that the Daemon Fox was ruthless when he swore on the Grand Luo of the Foxes … but now it seems that he was even more ruthless than he thought.
Jiang He asked again.
Still, the information about the immortals of other factions was true.
"By the way, the Unbounded Demon Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, the Penglai Immortal Island, the Thousand Cavern Mountain, the Wonderful Sound Sect, the Blood Cloud Palace, the Joyous Union Valley …"
Including the Penglai Sect, Jiang He named the top ten factions and asked, "How powerful are the immortals of those factions?"
"No immortals from the Thousand Cavern Mountain returned. That faction was once an alliance of untitled cultivators on the homeworld and was not united in the first place, and their elites joined other factions after arriving at the celestial battlefield. As for the Blood Cloud Palace and the Joyous Union Valley … all the immortals of those two factions must have died in the celestial battlefield."
"The people of the Wonderful Sound Sect have arrived. But, they don't have any powerhouses. They only have two True Immortals and nine Heaven Immortals. The Wonderful Sound Sect had encountered a powerhouse of the Ancient Race 800 years ago. And, they had suffered disastrous casualties. So, their strength had been greatly reduced.
"On the other hand, the Blood Demon Sect has established a relationship with that person at the Blood Sea, and is now extremely powerful … three Golden Immortals, nine True Immortals, and over seventy Heavenly Immortals have returned to the homeworld."
"Moreover, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Taixu Sect, the Scaled Dragons, and other factions have also sent Golden Immortals back."
"That many?"
Gasp!
Jiang He could not help inhaling sharply and exclaimed in shock, "There are so many elites, and I'm no match for them if they work together against me … now, all I can do is take the initiative and ambush them near Mars or head straight to Horned Dragon Star. I'll kill a few of them with a sneak attack, and then slowly deal with them and think of a way to finish them off."
The Daemon Fox's soul fragment was rather surprised and asked, "My lord, do the elites of those factions have a grudge against you?"
"Yes!"
Jiang He said seriously, "Take the Penglai Sect, for example. Their immortals might not know who I am, but they would definitely try to kill me in the future. Moreover, the immortals of the Unbounded Demon Sect and the Blood Demon Sect would definitely try to kill me if they learn of my existence. So, instead of waiting for them to kill me, I would rather take the initiative and kill them first!"
The Daemon Fox's soul fragment was dumbstruck.
Even if he had already submitted to Jiang He, he was still cursing.
What the heck?
You call that a grudge?
How could I have a grudge against you when I don't even know you?
