While the candidates for the Saintess of Cangdu were in an uproar, somewhere in the Celestial Fox Tribal Country was a fork in the road leading to Hu City.
In a dense primeval forest, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and each tree was dozens of meters tall.
There were several figures in the trees, and they seemed to be waiting for something.
They were the assassins who had killed several batches of Celestial Fox Saintesses this time.
"Gray Feather, we've already killed several batches of Celestial Fox Saintess candidates. I don't know why the young master suddenly gave such an order this time. " The one who spoke was a masked woman. Her whole body was wrapped up tightly, and only a pair of pretty eyes could be seen.
"I think it has something to do with the rumors in the tribe earlier," the one who replied was tall and slender like a pine. He had a pair of gray eyes that were as fierce as an eagle's.
"You mean the marriage between the Celestial Fox Tribe and us? Bah, how shameless! How can those bastards of the Celestial Fox Tribe be worthy of our young master? "The masked woman's eyes immediately changed when she heard that.
The young master was young and handsome. Many unmarried girls in the tribe had a crush on him, including Yaoji.
Now that the young master had come of age, many of them hoped that the young master would take a fancy to them.
But at this time, there was a rumor in the tribe that the young master's fiancée would be the Saintess of the Celestial Fox Tribe.
When the news first came out, the girls, including Yaoji, didn't believe it at all because they all heard that the young master hated the women of the Celestial Fox People very much.
Especially after the disappearance of the previous Saintess of the Celestial Fox People, Hu Linglong of the Celestial Fox People kept pestering the young master. The young master was so annoyed that he even announced to the public that he wouldn't marry a woman of the Celestial Fox People even if all the women in the world died.
"Even so, the young master grew up with the old master since he was a child, and he listens to the old master's words the most. I heard that the marriage between the two tribes was agreed upon by the previous chief of the Celestial Fox Tribe. "The grey-eyed man was also dissatisfied.
In their minds, the young patriarch was a young genius and only the most talented woman was worthy of him. Among the Bhakra Orcs, only Hei Linlin of the Black Qilin Tribe was barely worthy of their young patriarch.
She was the Celestial Fox People's woman, so what if she was the Saintess?
It was common knowledge that Celestial Fox was a lesser beast. Even their Saintess could not possibly be someone extraordinary.
This kind of trash actually had the delusion of climbing up to their young patriarch. What a big joke.
"Then it's no wonder that the Young Clan Head wants us to kill them halfway. I don't believe that they'll be able to choose a new Saintess after killing all of their candidates, "the masked woman said, her eyes flashing.
Several gorgeous beast-drawn carriages appeared on the official road ahead. It seemed that they were the carriages used by the Celestial Fox People to escort the Saintess candidates.
"They're coming. This time, it's your turn." Gray Feather closed his eyes to rest. Obviously, he did not think highly of the Celestial Fox People's team.
The masked woman, Yaoji, suddenly swayed like a graceful phoenix and was about to attack.
But at this moment, a group of masked men suddenly appeared on the official road ahead.
The masked men were extremely vicious. In less than 15 minutes, the heavily guarded Celestial Fox Tribe's convoy was killed.
The gorgeously dressed Celestial Fox People's Saintess candidates were pulled down from the beast-drawn carriages.
"Please, don't kill me. I'm from the Sun Mansion in Langdu. If you let me go, I can give you a lot of money," a charming Celestial Fox People's Saintess candidate begged the assassins.
These women who went to Hu City to participate in the selection of Saintess were all outstanding in appearance and family background.
The eyes of the assassins lit up, and they winked at him with malicious intent.
"Hehe, as expected of a Saintess candidate. Her appearance is really outstanding. Brothers, each of us has one. Let's have some fun. "The assassins ignored the pleas of the Saintess and dragged the Celestial Fox women aside.
Half an Hour later, after a few screams, the assassins left.
The assassins swaggered away.
On the official road, all the guards who were escorting the convoy had been killed. They died miserably.
In the bushes, the Celestial Fox People's women were naked. Their faces were full of knife scars and they were unrecognizable.
"What a vicious method. There are people who want to kill the Celestial Fox People's women like us." Seeing this inhumane scene, even Gray Feather, who was usually not easily moved, could not help but be slightly moved.
Yaoji was so angry that her beautiful eyes turned red. If she was not afraid of exposing her identity, she would really cut the assassins into pieces.
Although they had killed many Celestial Fox People's women, they had never been like these people. As a woman, Yaoji could not help but hate these assassins.
Killing people was not a big deal, but why did they have to disfigure and rape? This kind of behavior was outrageous.
The person behind these assassins must have a blood feud with the Celestial Fox People. Otherwise, they would be so cruel.
"Judging from the skills and clothes of those people, they seem to be killers who specialize in assassination. I wonder who is behind them." Yaoji also felt very strange. Except for the young patriarch, who else hated the Celestial Fox People so much?
"Yaoji, don't meddle in other people's business, lest we expose our identity. There are only about ten days left before the selection ceremony of the Celestial Fox People's Saintess. Although those people are vicious, it may not be a bad thing for us. At least, it will save us a lot of trouble. Two groups of people will get twice the result with half the effort, "Gray Feather said coldly.
Compared with Yaoji, Gray Feather was much calmer.
"Yes, I think that group of people will ambush in this area. In this case, it will save us a lot of effort. You and I can divide into two groups. I will be in charge of this official road, and you will be in charge of the one in the north. We will act according to the circumstances. " After a discussion, Yaoji and Gray Feather decided to kill the candidates of the Celestial Fox People's Saintess in the remaining ten days.
The smell of blood from the killings on the official road was still lingering. The selection of the Celestial Fox People's Saintess in Cangdu was finally settled.
"These are the three candidates who will represent Cangdu in the selection of the Celestial Fox People's Saintess." After several days and nights of strict selection, Heshi finally selected three women of the Celestial Fox People who were better than others in temperament, strength, and appearance among hundreds of candidates.
Two of them were mixed-blood Celestial Fox, and the other was a purebred Celestial Fox. These three people would set off in the next few days. They would be escorted all the way to Hu City by a special escort army.
As for Yun Sheng, she would disguise herself as a military doctor as agreed with Heshi earlier. She would escort the three candidates of the Saintess to Cangdu.
