No matter how Yun Yang grumbled inwardly, he was determined to be the elder now. Vertex X23US had called him second uncle and he had agreed to it as well.
"Sigh …" Yun Yang was still amused.
This Fox Crown Prince, Nine-tailed Jade … should be a few thousand years old, right?
His age could be considered an old ancestor in the human world, but he was calling him uncle now?
It felt rather strange.
"Good boy …" Yun Yang felt his teeth ache when he uttered the word while the corners of the Fox Crown Prince, Nine-tailed Jade's lips twitched.
"This … is a greeting gift from your second uncle." Yun Yang was helpless as well. 'I, a twenty-year-old lad, have become the second uncle of a demon that's thousands of years old, but … I can't just not give him a greeting gift.'
With a wave of his hand, a stream of purple Qi landed on Nine-tailed Jade's head.
"Second brother!" The Fox Emperor was shocked. "You mustn't, you mustn't!"
"It's nothing." Yun Yang smiled kindly. "We're all family."
The Fox Emperor looked at Nine-tailed Jade seriously. "Quickly, kowtow to your second uncle!"
The Fox Empress was overjoyed as well.
Both of them were knowledgeable. How could they not see that Yun Yang had actually given them a stream of Primordial Purple Qi?
Yun Yang helped the kowtowing Fox Crown Prince up with a smile and said, "With this Primordial Purple Qi protecting me, no matter what kind of danger I encounter … I can guarantee that Yu 'er won't die once!"
The Fox Empress' eyes were filled with gratitude. This was what she had been most worried about after the crisis her son had encountered. Now, Yun Yang's gift had dispelled all her worries.
"Hahaha …" The Fox Emperor laughed heartily. "Second Brother, I don't have anything to give you, and I don't have anything of equivalent value to give you for what you've done before. When we return to the clan, I'll give you everything in my entire palace treasury!"
Yun Yang was overjoyed and said, "I won't stand on ceremony then."
How big was the treasury of the Fox Emperor's palace? How much good stuff was there? Yun Yang had no idea about these but he knew that they were worth a hundred or even a thousand times more than what he had taken out!
The Qi of vitality and the Qi of reincarnation … Emmie had only taken them out casually and Yun Yang did not feel anything. However, the Fox Emperor's treasury could support Emmie's production of such gases … There should be tens of thousands of them!
Yun Yang felt like he was going crazy with joy.
How could he dare to be courteous? If he lost this courteous gesture, wouldn't he cry himself to death?
…
The group of Fox Race Saint Monarchs were also very excited as they greeted in unison, "Greetings to Second Master."
"You're welcome, everyone." The corners of Yun Yang's lips were twitching.
Although suddenly becoming the second master of the Fox Clan was a win-win situation for Yun Yang, he still found it hard to accept it being accomplished in such a manner.
Also, why was it so f * cking awkward to address him as Second Master?
But no matter what, he had forgotten that it was supposed to be a foolproof plan with no accidents happening, but the Fox Empress, who was the least likely to have an accident, had suddenly dropped the ball without any signs.
The Fox Emperor, who had committed suicide, had spat out his heart's blood and lost his life force. Yun Yang, who had also committed suicide, did not end up well either, receiving the title of Second Master of the Fox Clan!
Looking at all the demons of the Fox clan, all the Fox Sage Lords were able to follow the Fox Emperor and the Fox Empress here. Even in the face of a cultivation treasure like the Qi of the Great Dao, they did not have any ill intentions. Naturally, they were all their most trusted and reliable subordinates. This group of demons was originally filled with resentment and malice towards this newly promoted Second Master, this human brat.
However, they had witnessed Yun Yang generously giving rare treasures like the Qi of Dao, the Qi of reincarnation, and the Qi of vitality to save the Fox Crown Prince. It was equivalent to adding a few more layers of protection to the Fox Crown Prince's identity as the future leader of the Demon Race that was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the Fox Demons. Naturally, their resentment was wiped away and they were only filled with gratitude!
The Fox Empress only felt gratitude towards Yun Yang. Yun Yang had first set up the plan to save the Nine-tailed Jade with the treasures of the three sects, then reacted swiftly and lent a helping hand when she was in grave danger, saving the Fox Emperor and his son. When the Fox Emperor was heavily injured and vomiting blood, the purple Qi that Yun Yang had injected into the Fox Emperor's body had stabilized the Fox Emperor's injuries. Otherwise, the Fox Emperor's injuries would not just be a slight loss of life force; he would only need to recuperate for a period of time!
Moreover, Yun Yang had actually gifted her son a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.
To the Fox Empress, she could give anything to Yun Yang. Even if she were to give the entire palace to Yun Yang, she would feel that it was not enough …
The Fox Crown Prince, the Nine-tailed Jade, was genuinely affectionate towards her second uncle. In fact, Yun Yang's position was not inferior to the Fox Emperor and the Fox Empress in Crown Prince Ding's eyes.
The only one who did not look worried was the Fox Emperor. He seemed to be a little reluctant to acknowledge Yun Yang as his sworn brother, but it was only due to the circumstances. However, from the smile in his eyes, it was not difficult to tell that he was very satisfied with the outcome of the entire matter.
Very satisfied, too.
That night, the Fox Emperor held a banquet.
"This is the Fox Clan's top secret!"
The Fox Emperor's words had decided that this matter would not be leaked.
After drinking.
"Second brother, what kind of aura did you send in?" asked the Fox Emperor.
"It's just an ordinary Qi of vitality." Yun Yang smiled. "It can only ensure that big brother doesn't leave behind any future problems. It's not of much use anymore."
Yun Yang's words were polite and elegant, but those who knew their stuff would probably want to beat him up if they heard it. The Fox Emperor's injury today was due to the backlash from the failure in constructing the reincarnation passage. It was almost like heaven's punishment, so how could it be ordinary? A strange Qi that could eliminate all latent problems was labeled as ordinary and useless. Anyone would be displeased!
"Hahahaha …"
The Fox Emperor, who was directly involved, guffawed instead.
The Fox Empress and the crown prince had already gone to rest, leaving the space for the two brothers who had become sworn brothers due to fate.
"Do you know why I want to be sworn brothers with you?" The Fox Emperor's laughter faded away immediately.
Yun Yang replied faintly, "Big brother is the ruler of a clan. What you think and think naturally has a reason. There must be a reason why you've made the decision to become sworn brothers with a human, but I don't have the mood to guess. What's the use of thinking about it when it's already a fact?"
He smiled faintly. "Not only does big brother have his considerations, this young brother naturally has his reasons for agreeing as well."
The Fox Emperor laughed. "You're open-minded, wise brother, but the main reason why I'm sworn brothers with you … is because of you!"
Yun Yang broke into a sweat. "Me? Me? Isn't big brother thinking too highly of me? "
With a wave of his hand, the Fox Emperor sealed the sealed space with his deific consciousness once more. Only then did he say in a low voice, "Brother Yun, I've always had a feeling that the Demon Race has actually been walking the wrong path. They're treading on the wrong path, going further and further astray."
"Walking the wrong path? Treading on the wrong path? "
"That's right. In the long years of war with the human race, the Demon Race seems to be strong and has the upper hand in the battle, but … the Demon Race has never produced a galactic master since the beginning of time. The overall ability of the human race is weaker than that of the Demon Race, but most of the known galactic masters are from the human race. "
"This itself has proven the advantages and disadvantages of the Demon Race and the human race. Although the Demon Race has the advantage of innate talent, fast cultivation speed, and strong ability, when it comes to being the true ruler of all living beings, the world's Providence favors humans."
"Therefore, the Demon Race's path must be wrong!"
The Fox Emperor's expression was solemn.
Yun Yang pondered with a frown and did not reply.
"My theory is actually not rare among the Demon Race. I'll just say one thing …" The Fox Emperor smiled faintly. "Why do you think the Demon Race transforms?"
"Transforms?"
"That's right, transforms!" The Fox Emperor said, "Don't the Demon Race transforms into a humanoid form? Why do you think so?"
Yun Yang had never considered the reason behind this question, so he could not help asking, "Why?"
"There's no other reason. It's because the humanoid form is the most suitable body for cultivation."
"The Demon Race transforms into a humanoid form. There's a natural disdain towards the existence of their original form, and they don't have their own cultural heritage either. They have to imitate and learn from humans in everything … To the Demon Race, it's not only a sad thing, it's also a terrifying thing."
"The Fox Emperor's words seem to be biased. The Demon Race has its own unique innate talent. Each race has its own unique racial trait, such as the Dragon Race's Breath, the Phoenix Race's Nirvana, the Cat Race's Nine Revolutions of Fate, and the nobles' immortality. Aren't they all unique traits that the Human Race doesn't possess?" Yun Yang retorted.
"What you said is true, but it's only one-sided. The Demon Race's heritage. If it's built entirely on the race's unique innate talent, the path ahead will only become more and more deviated. To truly walk on the path of Dao, the most crucial shackle is to shed the demonic form and become a human entirely! Only then is it possible! "
"However, the Demon Race doesn't have any direction to follow in this regard!"
The Fox Emperor sighed softly. "This is also one of the main reasons why the Demon Race intends to enter the Bound of Universe."
"We need such a path."
"However, even if we really conquer the Bound of Universe and truly rise above the Human Race, it'll be difficult for us to walk out of this path."
The Fox Emperor said faintly, "If we conquer the Bound of Universe, the Human Race may become the Demon Race's slaves and food. It can greatly improve the Demon Race's living conditions, but it won't help us advance to a higher cultivation level. Moreover, with the expansion of our territory, the unprecedented abundance of food, and the continuous reduction of our opponents, the Demon Race will soon overflow. In the end, the entire Bound of Universe will be destroyed! "
Yun Yang coughed and said, "Big brother, you're going a little overboard. It's not that the Demon Race doesn't have any knowledgeable people, they won't be able to see this prospect. How can the future be determined with just a few words?"
"It's not overboard at all. If the Human Race can maintain the upper hand and guard the passage between the Human and Demon Realm, only then will the Demon Race restrain themselves and recuperate. Only then will there be room for maneuver. However, if the Demon Race wins, based on the teachings of the Demon Race since they were born, it's impossible for them to let the Human Race go. "
"Do you know why I sent the entire Fox Clan to the Blood Soul Mountain? Why I can communicate with He Buyu, Fan Yunbang, and the others? Is it because I really can't do anything to them? No, as long as I'm careful in my arrangements, plotting, and paying a small price, there are plenty of opportunities to annihilate them. And with my unique talent, what is a small price to pay? "
"The reason why I don't do anything is because once the Blood Soul Mountain is damaged, it will be the starting point of the Demon Race's annihilation other than the Human Race's!"
"At least from my point of view, once there's a final outcome, the Demon Race will definitely lose no matter what. Only by maintaining a delicate balance between the two races is the way to long-term peace, even if this balance is unusually terrifying and dangerous!"
The Fox Emperor said faintly, "Before the rise of the Phoenix Emperor and being recognized as the wisest of the Demon Race, the wisest of the Demon Race has always been the Fox Clan. In terms of thinking about the future, there won't be any Demon Race that can think more than us, the Fox Clan. However … the unfavorable speculations about the Demon Race are all restricted to the higher-ups of the Fox Clan in secret. Not a single trace of them will be leaked out. "
"Once this news spreads, the entire Demon Race will definitely be in chaos, and the hearts of the Demon Race will be shaken."
"For example, although the Demon Emperor will consider the truth of these speculations, and may even agree with them, but for the sake of the Demon Race as a whole, he will still insist on waging war against the Human Race. Only by using war as a medium to transfer the current crisis of the Demon Race to the Human Race can the Demon Race be stabilized for a while. After all, the theory of the Demon Race's eventual annihilation needs time to be proven, and it will only come true in the future. And the current situation of the Demon Race is already very short of time!
"Of course, many of the above are the discoveries of the seniors, but even more … including the most pessimistic … speculations, are my own views."
The Fox Emperor sighed softly and said meaningfully, "Originally, our Demon Race was united. Regardless of the final victory or defeat, everyone had no regrets … In fact, there was no harm in dying together in the end … but now, things are very different."
"The previous few Demon Emperors of the Demon Race were the ones who united the Demon Race, the ones who worked hard to rule the Demon Race. However, when it came to Long Yutian's generation, the Demon Emperors of the Demon Race have begun to diverge, especially the Demon Race of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Race. The entire race has been wiped out. This is something that has never happened to the Demon Race for hundreds of millions of years. However, when it comes to our generation, such signs have begun to appear continuously …"
"Even if we don't count the decline of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Race, there are still seven other races that have disappeared from the Demon Race's history forever!"
The Fox Emperor said, "Back then, my ancestor, the Nine-tailed Fox, left a prophecy … If a Demon Emperor appears in the future, it will be the end of the Demon Race."
Yun Yang mused, "So …"
The Fox Emperor said honestly, "My son has the bearing of a Demon Emperor and the decree of the Demon Race's leader. This is the first reason. Secondly, while brother's arrival has caused chaos among the Demon Race, it has also left an opportunity for the Demon Race. "
"With today's cooperation, the relationship between you, me, and my son, I believe that the relationship between you and my Fox Clan will grow closer and closer … In the future, our interactions will only grow closer and closer. What's beneficial to you is beneficial to our Fox Clan, and even … to the future of the entire Demon Clan."
Yun Yang frowned in deep thought, his expression thoughtful and disbelief written all over his face.
The Fox Emperor stared at Yun Yang for a good while before he asked, "I wonder what brother's opinion of the Demon Race?"
The Fox Emperor's words were a huge blow to Yun Yang.
With his intelligence, he knew that the Fox Emperor's question was not about his current opinion, but about the ultimate strategic goal.
"Firstly, I'm not the one making decisions yet. Secondly, the time isn't right yet. It's difficult for me to make a judgment now. My opinion is inevitably biased. Once it's biased, it's very likely that I'll think too highly of myself and it'll be difficult to reach a consensus. "
Yun Yang said honestly, "At the end of the day, this is the key to the survival of the two races. I need time to consider it, even to take it one step at a time … The final outcome is still undetermined, it's difficult to put it into practice for now."
This was the truth. If Yun Yang had spoken frankly and even patted his chest as a guarantee, saying that he would guide the entire Fox Clan to assimilate into the human race and that the Fox Clan would be fine even if the Demon Race was annihilated, the Fox Emperor might just slap Yun Yang into a pulp!
"Then I'll wait for the day you can make the decision!"
The Fox Emperor laughed out loud and brushed this question aside.
However, he knew very well that his words must have left a deep impression in Yun Yang's heart.
All he needed was a suitable opportunity. Once it arrived, it would be the beginning of a new era for the Demon Race!
"Let's hope that you and I can still sit together and discuss the future like this in the future." The Fox Emperor's face was filled with kindness as he chuckled and said, "There's only one thing. Your nephew calls you second uncle from the bottom of his heart. You can't ignore this nephew of yours. After all, you brought him back to this world with your own hands."
Yun Yang sighed dejectedly and nodded.
No matter what, his contact with the Fox Clan during this period of time had grown deeper. Even if the Demon Race were to be annihilated in the end, Yun Yang would try his best to mediate and try his best to preserve a sliver of the Fox Emperor's bloodline. At the very least, Yun Yang would try his best to protect the Fox Crown Prince!
This was something that went without saying.
The Fox Emperor was only joking now.
The Fox Emperor knew this and so did Yun Yang.
…
"What do you plan to do next? Do you have a concrete plan? "
The Fox Emperor asked.
Now that their relationship had reached such a stage, there was basically nothing that they did not talk about. Yun Yang did not avoid the topic and said, "Now that I have big brother's help … I'm thinking of taking action within two days. After saving the cat ancestor, I'll leave the Demonic Realm immediately."
The Fox Emperor frowned, contemplating the feasibility of the matter.
"There's something that I have to say first." The Fox Emperor said word by word, "Don't have any misgivings about saving the nine lives. If it doesn't work out … don't bother about the Feline Clan anymore, don't even bother about the Saint Lords of the Fox Clan … Prioritize your own safety and escape as soon as possible."
"Yes," Yun Yang replied.
He paused and said, "However, big brother, your people in Demon Peacock City now have to leave as soon as possible. I'm afraid that you'll be dragged into this mess. "
The Fox Emperor said faintly, "Of course. Tomorrow morning, your sister-in-law will leave with your nephew and the eight Saint Lords. They'll meet up with me fifty thousand miles away from here."
"What about you?"
The Fox Emperor chuckled and said, "On the surface, you'll be leaving the city with the other fourteen Saint Lords and your sister-in-law, but in reality, you'll be waiting twenty thousand miles away from Demon Peacock City."
"I'll accompany you out of the city first and then come back to join in the rescue of the nine lives. However, I won't act directly. "
The Demon Emperor looked at Yun Yang, his gaze warm. "It's not for anything else. If all of you are in a hopeless situation, I'll bring you away. Your safety is my top priority right now. I'm not just saying that."
Yun Yang felt warm and said, "Big brother, you don't have to get involved in this mess. It won't be good for the Fox Clan."
"It's nothing." The Fox Emperor's gaze was deep. "Yu 'er's recovery can only be kept a secret for a while. It can't be kept a secret for too long. Once this news gets out, it'll definitely cause a commotion … Perhaps the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan will be the next Nine-Lives Cat Clan. Is there a need to worry so much?"
"All in all, take care!"
…
Until Yun Yang left the Fox Emperor's Palace, the Fox Emperor's extremely solemn gaze still lingered in his mind. He could not help thinking, 'I've always believed that humans won't fail.' If that was the case, where would the future of the Demon Race lie?
There was a vast territory here that did not pale in comparison to the Bound of Universe, and it was completely unsuitable for humans to live in. Billions of demons lived here. Although they were of a different race, they were still living beings.
Could it be that … could it be that he really had to annihilate these billions of living beings?
After this day, Yun Yang's deep-rooted desire to annihilate the Demon Race was loosened!
…
For the next three days, the resourceful Celestial Wolf and the demon fox did not make any moves. The demon civilians who were used to these two stirring up trouble and creating big news actually felt unaccustomed to it!
In spite of this, the Demon Imperial City was still in an uproar. Even though the higher-ups of the Demon Race had repeatedly ordered that the Demon Race was not allowed to kill each other and that those who disobeyed would be severely punished … who knew if this fellow beside him was real?
What if he was the demon fox?
This opportunity to rise to the top in a single bound did not come often!
Although the officials had tried their best to stop it, public opinion had already risen in recent days. Based on the belief that I might be the main character of providence and that the law does not punish the masses, the number of demons who had died had once again exceeded a million.
…
As for the Phoenix Emperor, he never returned to the Demon Imperial Palace after the incident with the Fox Emperor. Even the Saint Lords he had gathered to set up the Heaven Sealing Formation had all disappeared, their whereabouts a mystery.
…
Early in the morning of another day, the demon fox reappeared.
This time, he had appeared eight thousand miles away from the Demon Imperial City. He was not seen through by the demons, but he had suddenly appeared and started to attack, killing more than ten Saint Emperors and three to four Supreme Saints of the Demon Race consecutively!
He then sped towards the south with a body full of wounds.
Many of the demon experts were naturally unwilling to let him escape unscathed, so they began to surround and intercept him … it was a pity that after half a day of pursuit, there was nothing. The demon fox still managed to escape successfully.
According to the usual practice, the demon fox would immediately disappear after escaping successfully. This time, however, it was only an hour before he was discovered once again, fleeing into a forest.
However, the three Saint Lords who had rushed over after hearing the news had completely destroyed the entire forest, but they still could not find any trace of the demon fox.
By noon, the demon fox was discovered once again. Although he looked like he was in a sorry state, he was still very agile. After a brief contact with the battle, he immediately disappeared into the nearby mountains.
Then, the demon fox appeared in a town slightly further away.
This time, there were many innocent demons who were implicated, and the demon fox escaped once again …
Even so, after a few consecutive battles, the demon fox's range of movement had basically been locked down …
It was in this area!
There was no way to escape!
It was seven thousand to ten thousand miles away from the Demon Imperial City … even if he ran further out, he would not be able to escape. As for charging in, it was even more difficult than ascending to the heavens!
Because of this, the Saint Lords of the Demon Imperial City all rushed over …
Countless demons were muttering. It seemed like the demon fox was doomed this time!
