"Then why did you come out so late at night?" Lin Muyu changed the topic and asked another question.
The girl named "Hong Luo" had tears flowing down her face. She blinked her eyes at Lin Muyu and actually asked, "Who are you? Why should I tell you?"
"Me?"
Lin Muyu smiled brightly, "Oh, I am hunting in the mountains …"
Hong Luo's eyes were red, "You're lying. The insignia on your collar is the insignia of a general of the Qin Empire. Moreover, there are so many stars. You must be a high ranking official. You … Who are you?"
"I am the one interrogating you, not you interrogating me." Lin Muyu's eyes turned cold as she said, "Speak, why did you leave the camp and come to the wilderness?"
Hong Luo didn't say anything. Tears flowed down her face, but her hands moved behind her back as if she was hiding something.
Lin Muyu lightly circulated her energy and the gourd vine flipped over. The thing that Hong Luo was trying to hide in her sleeve fell onto the grass with a plop. Lin Muyu picked it up and saw that it was two remnant scrolls. On the top of the scrolls were the words "Cosmic Seal". She couldn't understand the rest of the words. Lin Muyu was stunned, "What is this?"
Hong Luo began to cry, "Give it back to me, give it back to me!"
Her voice was too loud. The voice of the Yao came from the distance, "Who is it? There is someone in the forest. Let's go take a look!"
With a "pa" sound, Lin Muyu knocked Hong Luo out with a clean palm strike and placed the Cosmic Seal into his Cosmos Sack. Then, he picked up Hong Luo and activated the Falling Star Steps, heading straight for the city pass. In less than ten minutes, he arrived at the place he had come from. With a low shout, the gourd vine flew up and wrapped around the stone walls, bringing him quickly to the top of the city wall.
The guards were startled. With the light of the torches, they saw that Lin Muyu had returned with a young fox girl. They couldn't help but laugh, "Young General has returned from hunting?"
Lin Muyu was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. She said, "Pay attention to the surroundings."
"Yes, Young General."
…
When he carried Hong Luo into the central tent, Wei Chou, Xu Ying, Tang Zhen, Xiahou Sang, and the others had all arrived. Looking at Hong Luo lying on the bed, their gazes were all cold.
Xu Ying cupped his fists and said, "Young General, apart from the barracks concubines, no females are allowed in the imperial camp. This … this young fox girl is indeed beautiful, but Young General shouldn't break the rules because of this."
Lin Muyu explained somewhat awkwardly, "Old General Xu, you're thinking too much. Just now, I spied on the Demon race's camp and captured this young girl from the Fox race. It wasn't for anything else. I just wanted to obtain some useful information from her."
"If that's the case …" Xu Ying smiled and said, "This old man has thought too much, please forgive me, Young General."
"It's fine. Wake her up and interrogate her."
"Yes!"
Wei Chou walked forward, his fingertips infused with battle qi. He lightly pressed on Hong Luo's forehead and she immediately woke up. She stared dumbfoundedly at the group of people around her, her face pale. "You … you indiscriminately slaughter the innocent, give me back the scrolls, give me back the scrolls!"
"What scrolls?" Wei Chou was stunned.
Lin Muyu took out the two scrolls and smiled helplessly. "I don't know what's written, let's see how we interrogate her. She won't say anything and won't tell me the true reason the Demon Race attacked Demon Subduing Pass."
"That's easy!"
Xiahou Sang laughed as he walked forward, his eyes full of lewdness. "I haven't played with the fox race yet …"
Hong Luo was at a loss of what to do. Her tears fell again as she looked at Lin Muyu, crying, "That human, since you kidnapped me and brought me here, you must protect me. You can't … you can't …"
Lin Muyu leaned on her long sword. "But you won't tell me why the Demon Race attacked Demon Subduing Pass. As long as you tell me, I will guarantee your safety. How about it?"
Two lines of tears hung on Hong Luo's beautiful face. She closed her eyes and reached out to untie her clothes. Half of her snow-white bosom was revealed. She closed her eyes and cried, "Hong Luo will never betray the Saintess. You evil humans want to take away Hong Luo's chastity. Then hurry up. I'm not afraid of you!"
Wei Chou was stunned. "Commander, what … what should we do?"
Xiahou Sang smiled. "What else can we do? We'll talk after we're done …"
Lin Muyu coughed. "Xiahou Sang, stop. Forget it. Since she would rather die than speak, then even if you took her body, it would be meaningless. Go down."
Xiahou Sang said unwillingly, "But it can boost morale, my lord!"
"What's the use of boosting morale? Remember, you are a soldier of the empire. In my tent, no one is allowed to be promiscuous. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my lord!"
Lin Muyu looked coldly at Hong Luo and said, "I'll have to trouble you for a bit. I'll temporarily imprison you in the Demon Subduing Pass camp. I'll decide how to deal with you after this war is over."
Hong Luo looked at her in a daze, wanting to say something but hesitating.
… …
The next day, as expected, the Naga army of nearly forty thousand madly attacked the city. The fierce battle lasted for an entire morning. Both sides suffered losses, but Lin Muyu also saw through it. As long as the imperial army did not leave the city, the Demon Race could do nothing to them. In terms of siege ability, the Demon Race was simply too inferior. They didn't even have scaling ladders and only relied on their most primitive beast instincts to attack the city. They were immediately frightened out of their wits by Lin Muyu's fire attack. It would be a wonder if this kind of army could conquer Demon Subduing Pass.
In the afternoon, a conch horn sounded in the distance. The Naga army once again retreated like the tide.
About half an hour later, a man holding a white flag rode over from the distance. He was a man of the Fox Race. He also had fox ears and a tail, but his tail was divided into two. He rode a fine horse and wore armor. He looked up at the city and shouted from afar, "I am the envoy of the Fox Race. Someone who can speak!"
Lin Muyu turned and stood on the battlement, her cloak flying. She smiled and said, "I am General Lin Muyu. Speak."
The man of the Fox Race looked up at Lin Muyu and said, "Last night, you kidnapped one of our Fox Race women. Is this true?"
"Yes, so what?"
The man of the Fox Race gritted his teeth, "Lin Muyu, my army has decided to stop the war. Are you willing?"
"You want to stop the war just because you want to. What do you take the Qin Empire for?" Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows.
"Then what do you want?!"
"I want to meet the Saintess of the Fox Race to discuss the matter of stopping the war."
"Okay!" The man of the Fox Race replied without thinking, "Two hours later, a mile away from the city gate, the Saintess will naturally wait for you. It depends on whether you have the guts to come. Remember to bring Hong Luo with you."
"Yes, I will go."
Lin Muyu turned around and jumped off the battlement. She patted the mud off her knees.
Wei Chou said lightly, "Commander, isn't it too risky? You are going to negotiate with them alone?"
"It doesn't matter. Just lead a hundred people and follow me."
"Yes!"
…
The gate of the city gate slowly opened. Lin Muyu carried the Dragon Spirit Sword and rode out of the city. At the same time, she led a horse with the Fox Race girl Hong Luo tied to it. As soon as she got out of the city, she smelled an extremely fishy smell. After fighting for more than ten days, the corpses under the city gate had begun to rot. It was the beginning of spring, and flies were flying everywhere. In a few days, these corpses would definitely rot. If they were not buried in time, it would lead to a plague.
Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others led a hundred elite Imperial Army cavalrymen and followed closely behind. The old general Xu Ying was sitting on top of the city gate. Looking at the figures of the young people from afar, Xu Ying couldn't help but stroke his beard and smiled, "The younger generation is really formidable. They are more courageous than others!"
…
A mile outside the city, after Lin Muyu dismounted with Hong Luo, a group of people slowly came from afar. After stopping in the distance, a girl wearing a fiery-red long-sleeved dress got off the horse and walked over alone. Her appearance was elegant, but she was also from the Fox Race. Behind her were three tails that were wrapped in flames. This made Lin Muyu think of Tang Xiaoxi. However, after Tang Xiaoxi transformed into a nine-tailed demon fox, she was much more beautiful and imposing than this saintess.
"Saintess, it's all because of Hong Luo's carelessness!" Hong Luo cried from afar.
"Are you alright, Hong Luo?" The saintess frowned and asked.
"I'm fine. It's just that the dossier … the dossier was taken away by this person."
"What?! The dossier was taken away? "The saintess gritted her teeth.
Lin Muyu let go of her hand, letting Hong Luo go back. She raised her hand to pull out the Dragon Spirit Sword and propped it on the ground. She said, "You're the saintess of the Skyblaze Sect, right? Now can you tell me why your demon race attacked the human race's territory? Isn't it good that everything was peaceful before?"
"Is it good?"
The saintess's eyes were filled with killing intent. She said, "You sent an army to hunt down our nine-tailed fairy fox, and this is called peaceful?"
"Nine-tailed fairy fox?"
Lin Muyu was startled. "It's the nine-tailed demon fox, isn't it? Even if we humans hunt down the nine-tailed demon fox, what does it have to do with you?"
The saintess suddenly shook her sleeves. Flames lingered around her body, and the three tails behind her rapidly burst into flames. Her expression was even somewhat sinister. She sneered and said, "The nine-tailed fairy fox is the god that our Skyblaze Sect believes in. Why do you think?!"
"Wait."
Lin Muyu opened her hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to act. I'm not the one who hunts down the nine-tailed fairy fox. On the contrary, I'm the one who protects her. Moreover, Xiao Xi is my best friend. How could I kill her?"
"You … you know the nine-tailed fairy fox?"
"Nonsense. Her name is Tang Xiaoxi, one of the successors of the Seven Seas Tang Sect. You attacked the Demon Subduing Pass without understanding anything. You were too reckless."
"We …"
The saintess actually revealed an ashamed expression. She said, "Milord … if you know the nine-tailed fairy fox, can you let me meet her?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Muyu asked.
"It's like this …" The saintess explained, "The Skyblaze Sect has waited for the nine-tailed fairy fox for nearly ten thousand years. Our only mission is to help the nine-tailed fairy fox ascend to the Heavenly Realm. If milord knows the nine-tailed fairy fox, please invite her to see me. This little girl will offer you the three Fire God's Seal fragments."
"The Fire God's Seal fragments?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
"Yes, the one you took away was the tenth Star Universe Seal. I still have two here, the eleventh God's Seal and the twelfth God's Seal. Milord, do you know the Fire God's Seal?"
Lin Muyu was flabbergasted. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "On the human continent, the Fire God's Seal is also known as the Fire Fox Seal. It's the unique technique of the Seven Seas Tang Sect …"
The saintess was speechless.
However, everyone thought that the Fire Fox Seal only had nine heavens. They didn't know that there were three fragments, a total of twelve heavens! It was hard to imagine how strong Tang Xiaoxi would be if she learned the complete twelve heavens of the Fire God's Seal.
Thinking of this, Lin Muyu actually became a little excited. The nine-tailed fairy fox was not a demon, but a god. Tang Xiaoxi's transformation was not a demon, but an immortal transformation!
