The Fox Empress stood up and said softly, "Pass the decree!"
Both Saints of the Fox Clan stood up at the same time and bowed to receive the order.
"The Fox Clan's Emperor, Nine-tailed White, has passed away today. A nation can't be without a ruler, a clan can't be without an emperor. The crown prince, the Nine-tailed White, is diligent and intelligent. He can inherit the position of the Fox Sovereign and be called … the Jade Emperor. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Ascend the throne today!"
"Yes."
…
The Fox Empress bowed to Yun Yang. "Please lend us a hand and preside over the situation, uncle."
Yun Yang was stunned. "Me? I'm a human. If I were to step in, the Fox Clan might not be able to escape the demon race's censure. "
The Fox Empress smiled sadly. "The demon race wanted to annihilate the Fox Clan first. The Fox Clan can only wait for death to come. Is that the only way to be loyal to the demon race? I'm not as foolish as Nine-tailed White. Only uncle, only the human race can protect our bloodline now … There's no need to say more … Uncle is the sworn brother of the Fox Emperor and the Cat Ancestor, Yu 'er's only senior from today onwards. "
"Nine-tailed White … has dominated the demon race all his life. It's said that he has countless sworn brothers, all of them loyal to each other. Until now, only uncle is still by his side. Please lend us a hand and preside over the situation, uncle! "
The Fox Empress and the Cat Empress bowed together and repeated what they had said earlier.
"… Alright."
Yun Yang agreed solemnly.
"Yu 'er ascends the throne today. Third brother, if the Fox Clan can get through this, there's nothing to say. However … if we can't … "
The Fox Empress smiled sadly. "Sister-in-law … I don't want to die yet. I want to bring him to the human race and be your disciple. "
The Cat Ancestor said, "The same goes for us."
"Please agree to it, uncle."
"I thought … to accompany him in a grand battle this time … to accompany him with this life of mine, so that we wouldn't have wasted our life together. I didn't expect him to stay … such a tiny hope. God has been kind to me. "
"Since he's still here, if we go … with his current state, I'm afraid …"
The Fox Empress said softly, "If uncle has any concerns, we're willing to destroy our own cultivation base and cultivate with him."
Yun Yang replied, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? No matter what happens in this battle, I guarantee that you will be safe and sound for the rest of your lives. After the war, we'll return to the Bound of Universe together and stay in the Palace of Nine Supremes. We'll be safe and happy, waiting for the day both of you return. "
"Alright, thank you for your kindness, Uncle."
…
On the second day, the grand funeral of Fox Emperor and Cat Ancestor was held in Fox Emperor City.
Originally, the funeral of an emperor was never a simple matter. To say that it was extravagant was a kind of blasphemy. But now that the Fox Clan was in a precarious situation, they really couldn't care about such extravagance.
Even the black mourning of the entire Fox Emperor City was done spontaneously by the people of the Fox Clan. Cries of pain could be heard from every corner of the city, shaking the heavens and earth.
…
High up in the sky a little further away.
Many huge figures appeared as He Cheng of the Fox Emperor City cried bitterly — —
Eagle Emperor, Roc Emperor, Tiger Emperor, Leopard Emperor, Crane Emperor, Eagle Emperor, Wolf Emperor …
Even the Dragon Monarch and the Phoenix Monarch, the two highest decision-makers of the demon race, were standing there silently.
They looked at the white mourning of the city and listened to the deafening cries.
These Demon Sovereigns all had different expressions and attitudes. Roc Emperor and the others were trembling, their eyes red as they stared at Fox Emperor City. They wished they could go there personally and send their two brothers off for the last time.
On the other side, two statues stood up in the city. They were the statues of the Fox Emperor and Cat Ancestor.
Golden light flashed, and when one looked over, it was two golden coffins that rose with the mourning cries in the city.
Thick, dark clouds surged over from all directions, shrouding the entire sky above Fox Emperor City.
At that moment, a majestic sword light soared into the sky, breaking through the thick layers of clouds. It was Yun Yang, soaring through the sky and sweeping away the wind and clouds. He shouted sternly, "Brothers, have a safe journey!"
Above the thick layers of clouds, a thunderclap shook the heavens. Countless electric currents surged and crisscrossed.
In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed, and wind and rain intertwined.
Yun Yang stood in midair, his entire body emitting a golden radiance. He pointed the sword in his hand towards the western sky.
My brother has perished, and I shall pave the way for him with this sword!
This was the highest form of etiquette of the demon race!
It was also the highest form of camaraderie between demon brothers.
If they were not close enough, they would not have the right to use it.
To obtain the right to guide the way, one had to either be appointed by the deceased when they were alive, or have the approval of the deceased's family, or even the entire clan.
Roc Emperor, Eagle Emperor, and the others looked enviously at Yun Yang, who was hovering in the air with his sword. Their eyes were filled with sadness.
The final send-off of the demon race's sovereigns was actually done by a human. How pitiful was that?
However, they were speechless. They had long lost the right to send him off. They did not even have the right to speak!
The funeral procession passed through the streets of Fox Emperor City, heading towards the royal mausoleum of the Fox Clan behind the city.
At that moment, a beam of white light soared into the sky.
The Fox Empress, who was dressed in mourning clothes, tore through space and arrived in front of the Eagle Emperor and the others.
The sovereigns looked uneasy at the same time as they bowed at the same time.
"Sister-in-law (sister-in-law), my condolences."
The Fox Empress' cold gaze swept across the sovereigns present.
Following that, she said coldly, "It's rare for sovereigns to be so thoughtful to come and watch my deceased husband's funeral. I thank you on behalf of my deceased husband. I'm truly honored and overwhelmed by the favor. Greetings, everyone."
Emperor Roc said uncomfortably, "Sister-in-law …"
"I dare not!" The Fox Empress immediately stopped him. "How can I be worthy of being addressed as such by Emperor Roc? Please don't address me so intimately. If the people of the Fox Clan misunderstand that I'm colluding with my deceased husband's murderer, I'll be wronged. Sovereigns, please be merciful with your words. Don't push me too far."
Emperor Roc's face turned red, and he was momentarily at a loss for words. He did not know what to say. He stammered a few times and shut his mouth.
"All of you shouldn't be here today. I especially don't wish for all of you to be an eyesore here. I believe that even if my deceased husband's spirit sees all of you here, he will only feel uncomfortable."
The Fox Empress said lightly, "However, I know that my strength is lacking. I can't let all of you leave and let my deceased husband rest in peace. This is naturally my incompetence. It has nothing to do with all of you."
"Since all of you are here, you should have come with a purpose. As the host, I have a request. I hope that all of you can agree. "
With that said, she bowed deeply and refused to stand up straight for a long time.
The Phoenix Emperor coughed and said, "This … Sister-in-law, please stand up … If you have something to say, say it. As long as it's within our capabilities, we definitely won't decline."
The Fox Empress remained bowed and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, could it be that there's something wrong with your ears? Or perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough? I don't dare and don't want to have anything to do with the sovereigns. I'm already too ashamed to meet my deceased husband in the afterlife. Your Majesty, do you really want to force me like this?!"
The Phoenix Emperor laughed bitterly and swallowed his anger. "Sister-in-law … if you have something to say, say it face to face. As long as it's within our capabilities, we definitely won't say a word!"
The Fox Empress said coldly, "Of course it's within your capabilities. Although I don't have much intelligence, I know that everyone's standpoints are different. Your determination to destroy my Fox Clan is clear. How can a mere request be appeased? I only ask that all of you … when Nine-tailed White is buried later … all of you sovereigns must not call him brother or something like that. Please have a good journey and be brothers in your next life. Please!"
"Nine-tailed White … he's no longer your brother. I believe that even if his spirit is in heaven, he definitely doesn't wish for you to call him that anymore. Why does he feel so stifled … When he's dead, everything will be over. If he still needs to be sent off by your words of farewell, it's really not worth it."
"Please."
The Fox Empress swept her gaze across all the sovereigns present in disdain. She snorted coldly again and turned to leave without waiting for any response from the sovereigns.
The Roc Emperor, Eagle Emperor, and the others were ashamed. They lowered their heads deeply. The Tiger Emperor was on the verge of tears. He sniffled and mumbled, "That damned Phoenix Emperor … It's all that damned Phoenix Emperor's fault …"
His voice was not soft at all. Not to mention the fact that all the people present were Sage-level experts with sharp ears and eyes, even the ordinary demons could hear his loud voice clearly.
The Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Emperor's cold gazes followed the voice and looked over.
The Tiger Emperor felt the cold gazes on him and became even more furious. He suddenly exploded and shouted, "What are you looking at? What's wrong? Am I not speaking the truth? Or are you trying to destroy my tiger clan as well for offending your dignity?! "
All the sovereigns were immediately dumbfounded.
The Dragon Emperor could not help but glare. He was not angry, but he was actually a little surprised.
The Tiger Emperor said angrily, "What are you glaring at? You have no idea why our brothers of tens of thousands of years have ended up like this. Oh? If not for that bastard of a son of yours and your bastard father, would the demon clan have ended up like this? Would the friendship between brothers end up like this? Would foxes and cats end up like this? "
The Dragon Emperor was momentarily speechless. "…"
"Now, our brothers are gradually dying. Those of us who are still alive can't even attend our brothers' funerals. We can't even call them brothers. We have to be speechless and speechless … I feel so aggrieved and uncomfortable … What are you glaring at me for? What right do you have to glare at me?! The root of everything is because of your lecherous nature, your so-called dignity! "
As the Tiger Emperor spoke, he actually burst into tears. "My Brother Fox … is gone just like this … My Brother Cat … is gone just like this … is gone just like this …"
The Dragon Emperor took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
This tiger really needed to be taught a lesson!
However, just as he clenched his fists, a few figures suddenly appeared beside the Tiger Emperor.
The Roc Emperor crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood proudly beside the Tiger Emperor. The Eagle Emperor followed him like a shadow. There was also the silent Crane Emperor and the Eagle Emperor who rolled their eyes. The Leopard Emperor was slightly behind and walked over slowly …
In an instant, more than ten emperors gathered around the Fox Emperor. Pairs of cold eyes stared at the Dragon Emperor.
The intentions of the emperors were obvious. Do you dare to touch me?!
The Dragon Emperor roared, "What are you doing? Are you trying to force me to abdicate and rebel?! "
The emperors panted heavily and stared at him with very strange gazes. They did not speak for a long time.
"Look, look …" The Dragon Emperor flew into a rage. "Phoenix Emperor, look at this! What has this become! Are there any rules at all? Is this still the royal court of the demon race?! "
The Phoenix Emperor sighed and said, "Calm down, all of you are emperors of the demon race. Look at all of you!"
As soon as the Phoenix Emperor spoke, the hostile atmosphere instantly eased up considerably.
The Tiger Emperor said resentfully, "We can't attend the funeral. We can't even roar to send our brother off. We are no longer qualified. We are inferior to a human … I feel aggrieved … I feel so aggrieved that I want to die …
"This is too aggrieving …
"I just want to vent on this guy …"
The Tiger Emperor choked with tears in his eyes. He was filled with sorrow.
On the other side, the Demon Emperor's face darkened.
This guy? Who are you talking about? He was about to fly into a rage.
The Phoenix Emperor's face darkened. "All of you, shut up!
If you want to fight, fight after the funeral! "
The Phoenix Emperor's words made the final decision. All the emperors stopped talking.
The funeral in the city was carried out in an orderly manner. Countless fox demons waited by the side of the road to send off their emperors, hoping that they would not be lonely in the end.
All the Martial Emperors saw it clearly, they knew it very well.
The two emperors who had dominated the demon race for many years, the two peerless experts who had countless friends and brothers when they were alive, only had one brother sending them off at this moment.
A lonely brother.
And a human at that.
In the demon world, it was customary for brothers to send off experts at the end of their journey.
When it came to the funeral, the more brothers there were to send them off, the more ostentatious and dignified they were.
Now, the Fox Emperor and the Feline Clan's final journey was so bleak.
The Fox Emperor and the Feline Ancestor were of noble status, the sovereigns of their respective races. Their subordinates could not send them off as brothers, and the brothers they had once acknowledged … could not even be present now.
It was not only because the Fox Empress had asked them to do so, they did not have the face to be present as well.
How could they be present?
The so-called brothers were the ones who had plotted against them and forced them into a dead end. Some of them were the murderers who had besieged and killed them. As for the rest, they had watched them being besieged and killed in their final battle. They had watched them being besieged and killed without lifting a finger.
How could they still have the face to go?
They had arrived at the Royal Mausoleum of the Foxes.
Yun Yang sang loudly, "Send off my brother, this life shall be eternal!"
"Descend the coffin!"
On the other side, all the Demon Emperors, including the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor, bowed deeply.
"Send off my brother …" The Tiger Emperor roared, but he only managed to utter the first half of the sentence before he stopped himself, tears streaming down his cheeks, choking on his words.
'I don't even have the right to say this anymore …'
…
"Now, the Fox Emperor City is the only force left of the Fox Clan's core force … The elites outside have all been killed or captured."
"Other than that, there are only a handful of ordinary foxes who have moved to live in the mountains."
After the funeral, it was the ascension ceremony of the Fox Clan's successor.
The Nine-tailed Jade would take over the throne.
On the same night, the Nine-tailed Jade came to the hall to discuss clan matters under the Fox Empress' command.
The Fox Empress then turned to Yun Yang for a secret discussion.
"The Fox Clan's combat power … has three hundred and fifty thousand Saint Kings and above. There are thirty thousand Royal Saints, six hundred and seventy-five Supreme Saints, thirteen Saint Lords, four Half Saints, and two beginner-level Saints. "
"The rest of the Fox Clan's elites are all riled up, wanting to avenge the Fox Emperor."
"The elites of the Fox Clan are not afraid of death. They do not hesitate to fight!" The Fox Empress' eyes were bright as she said fiercely, "I swear that the Demon Emperor will pay the price!"
