Bai Xuan couldn't suppress the joy in his heart when he heard the news about Huan Ji. If he cultivated with Huan Ji and benefited from her pure Heavenly Fox bloodline, he could completely stabilize his cultivation that had been forcefully raised. There was even a possibility for him to go further.
Li Mu looked calm on the surface, but he was more excited than Bai Xuan in his heart.
After finding Huan Ji, he only needed to find out where the elder of the Sage Sect was in seclusion to completely reverse the situation of Qianhu Country and take the first step to pacifying the Demon Country.
Bai Xuan looked at the Lynx Demon and asked, "Why are they hiding in your clan?"
The Lynx Demon grinned and said proudly, "Hu Jiu once saved our clan, so he doesn't suspect us at all."
Li Mu sighed in his heart. Hu Jiu had never been right about people. He didn't know when he would learn to be more careful.
Leopard Five and the other demons showed a look of disdain. Betraying his savior was not a shame, but an honor. Even if he was a demon, they looked down on such a shameless person.
Bai Xuan said with satisfaction, "You can leave now. I will reward you well."
"Thank you, my king!"
The Lynx Demon left with gratitude. Bai Xuan murmured, "What should I reward him? Eagle Seven, why don't you let him be your subordinate for the time being …"
Li Mu was already the commander of Bai Xuan's second guard. He thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "First Elder, I think we can't keep this demon."
Bai Xuan looked at him and asked, "Why?"
Li Mu said, "First Elder, Hu Jiu is the savior of their clan. They betrayed their savior so easily. It shows that the Lynx Demon Clan is ungrateful and two-faced. This kind of demon is the easiest to buy. If they can betray Hu Jiu today, they can betray me and First Elder tomorrow. I really don't dare to keep him by my side."
Bai Xuan recalled Li Mu's words and his eyes gradually became deep.
No one knew betrayal better than him. For people like them, there was nothing they couldn't do under the temptation of benefits, power, and strength.
Bai Xuan was such a person himself, but he didn't want to have such people around him.
He hoped that the subordinates around him could be as loyal as Eagle Seven, instead of being on guard against their betrayal and betrayal.
He smirked and said, "The Mountain Cat Clan is so despicable. Indeed, they cannot be entrusted with important tasks. I grew up with Junior Sister and we are like brothers. Betraying Junior Sister is the same as betraying me …"
He looked at a personal guard beside him. That personal guard had followed Bai Xuan for more than ten years and understood the meaning behind his gaze. He nodded lightly at him.
Bai Xuan then said, "Hu Da, Ying Qi!"
Li Mu and a Fifth Realm fox demon stepped forward and said in unison, "Here!"
Bai Xuan said in a deep voice, "I order you to lead your men to the Mountain Cat Tribe and bring Junior Sister Huan Ji back."
The two of them replied again, "Understood!"
After being promoted twice by Bai Xuan, Li Mu was now the leader of the second personal guard team. As for Hu Da, he was Bai Xuan's confidant. His cultivation had reached the peak of Fifth Realm. Before he left, Bai Xuan seemed to have given him a powerful talisman.
This operation was led by Hu Da. Li Mu's cultivation wasn't high, but he was deeply trusted by Bai Xuan. He was able to participate because he followed behind Hu Da to take credit.
Outside Thousand Fox Country, on a flying ship, Hu Da let out a long sigh and said, "I hope the Mountain Cat Clan can keep them."
Li Mu also hoped, "May the heavens protect them. Please don't leave …"
Mountain Cat Clan.
Inside the cave.
Hu Jiu looked at Huan Ji in confusion and asked, "Lord Huan Ji, we're safe here. Why do we have to leave?"
Huan Ji explained, "I've recovered a little. If I continue to stay here, I might bring disaster to the Mountain Cat Clan. Bai Xuan sent so many people to find us. It's best not to stay in one place for too long."
Hu Jiu nodded and said, "Alright then."
He walked out of the cave and said to the two Mountain Cat Demons, "Sorry to disturb you these days."
One of the Mountain Cat Demons smiled and said, "Not at all. Lord Jiu once saved our clan. This is a chance for us to repay you."
Hu Jiu said, "I'm here to tell you that we're leaving. That traitor is looking for us everywhere. If we continue to stay here, you'll be implicated."
A trace of panic appeared in the Mountain Cat Demon's eyes, but he quickly said firmly, "Lord Jiu, don't worry. No one knows you're here. You can stay here without worry. Otherwise, we don't know when we'll be able to repay you."
The small Mountain Cat Clan was actually so loyal. Hu Jiu was touched but still refused, "Remember, you've never seen us. No matter who asks, you have to say this."
The Mountain Cat Demon nodded and said, "I'll go inform the Elder. Lord Jiu, you must tell the Elder about this."
Hu Jiu walked back into the cave and waited for the Elder of the Mountain Cat Clan to come.
However, he didn't see the Elder of the Mountain Cat Clan. Instead, he felt the fluctuations of a formation outside the cave.
Hu Jiu and Phantom Princess strode to the entrance of the cave and found that the cave was already covered by a formation. The Mountain Cat Clan was standing outside the formation.
Hu Jiu looked at them and asked, "What are you doing?"
Phantom Princess took a deep breath and said, "Can't you see? They don't want us to leave."
The Elder of the Mountain Cat Clan stood outside and looked at Phantom Princess and Hu Jiu. He smiled and said, "Lords, your injuries haven't healed yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Hu Jiu of course understood the meaning of the Mountain Cat Elder's words. She was stunned and couldn't accept it. She said, "I once saved your clan. You actually betrayed me!"
The smile on the Mountain Cat Elder's face gradually turned into mockery. He said lightly, "Lord Jiu, you're too naive. Don't forget that this is the Demon Kingdom. We don't follow the rules of humans. Elder Bai is looking for you everywhere. As long as we hand you over, our Mountain Cat Clan won't have to hide in this remote mountain. We can get rich rewards and move to the Thousand Fox City with abundant Spiritual Qi. How can I let you leave like this?"
Hu Jiu stared at him and said, "You can't be so shameless as a demon."
The Mountain Cat Elder replied, "Lord Jiu, don't be so naive in your next life."
Hu Jiu didn't talk to him anymore. She began to attack the formation with all her might. After more than a month of pursuit and several life and death battles, she could only use less than ten percent of her strength. She barely had the cultivation of the Fourth Realm.
Phantom Princess was better than Hu Jiu, but she was also seriously injured. She didn't have time to heal and her magic treasures were all used up. She couldn't even deal with a Fifth Realm opponent now.
The formation set up by the Mountain Cat Clan wasn't strong. Whether it was Phantom Princess or Hu Jiu, they could easily break it at their peak. But now, they were helpless against this formation.
After Hu Jiu realized that it was hopeless to break the formation, she gave up attacking and walked to Phantom Princess. After a moment of silence, she said, "Lord Phantom Princess, I'll explode my demon soul later and break this formation. You can take the chance to escape. With our strength, we can't avenge the Lord of Heaven, Little Snake, and Sixth Sister. Don't die for nothing. Leave the Demon Kingdom and find a safe place to cultivate slowly. Or go to the Great Zhou's Divine Capital and find that lecher, Li Mu. He's had his eyes on you for a long time.
He'll take care of you … "Phantom Princess said lightly," This isn't the first day you know me. "
Hu Jiu gritted her teeth and said, "Lord Phantom Princess, staying alive is the most important thing."
She had lost her father, brother, and all her followers. Moreover, she had no hope of revenge. In this boundless darkness, Phantom Princess calmed down.
She stayed in the cave and didn't break the formation. She just waited quietly.
Hu Jiu couldn't persuade her, so she stood quietly beside her and didn't say a word. It was obvious that she was prepared to face everything with her.
Outside the cave, the faces of the entire Mountain Cat Tribe were filled with excitement.
"I didn't expect that such a great merit would fall on our heads."
"This time, our Mountain Cat Tribe can also turn the tables."
"Maybe this is our luck …"
The Mountain Cat Elder looked at the excited tribesmen and said in a deep voice, "Be careful. Watch them carefully. If you let them escape, what awaits you won't be the Grand Elder's reward. Instead, you'll be blamed …"
A Mountain Cat looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "Elder, don't worry. They have already given up …"
The cat demons looked in the direction of the cave entrance. Indeed, they realized that the people inside the cave were no longer attacking. Although they were very powerful in the past, they were like foxes that had fallen from grace. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry could bully them. The Fey Nation, where strength reigned supreme, was that cruel.
As the Mountain Cat Tribe waited anxiously, a stream of light finally shot over from afar and landed in the valley.
Dozens of figures jumped down from the flying boat.
The Mountain Cat Tribe quickly came forward. The Mountain Cat Elder bowed and said, "Greetings, Lords!"
The rest of the Mountain Cat Tribe also bowed.
Hu Da went straight to the point and asked, "Are they still here?"
The Mountain Cat Elder pointed at the cave that was covered by the formation and said, "Yes, we trapped them in the formation and waited for you to come."
Hu Da patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Not bad. When we return, the Grand Elder will reward you."
When the Mountain Cat Tribe heard this, their eyes lit up.
Hu Da walked in front of the formation and slapped out. The formation that Hu Jiu couldn't break made a sound like porcelain shattering and shattered.
Then, Hu Da stood outside the cave and waited quietly.
Soon, two figures walked out of the cave. Hu Da bowed to Illusion Princess and said, "Lord Illusion Princess, come back with us. The Grand Elder has been looking for you for a long time."
Illusion Princess said calmly, "Promise me one thing and I'll go back with you. Otherwise, even if you bring me back, half of your people will be left behind."
Hu Da completely believed Illusion Princess's words. Although she was seriously injured, if she wanted to resist, at least half of the people he brought this time would die. He might even have the risk of dying.
If Illusion Princess was willing to cooperate, that would be great.
Hu Da said without hesitation, "Lord Illusion Princess, please say it."
Illusion Princess glanced at the Mountain Cat Tribe and said calmly, "Cripple the Mountain Cat Tribe's cultivation and erase their consciousness. Beat them back to their original forms."
The Mountain Cat Elder's expression changed drastically. He immediately said, "Lord, don't listen to her …"
Hu Da didn't even think and said, "Okay."
The Mountain Cat Elder panicked and said hurriedly, "Lord, you can't do this. We provided her information. We've done a great service for the Thousand Fox Nation!"
Hu Da said calmly, "Do it."
The weakest demon he brought this time was at the peak of the fourth realm. The Mountain Cat Elder's cultivation was only at the fourth realm. After a few breaths, all the Mountain Cat Demons, including the Mountain Cat Elder, were captured.
"No!"
"No!"
After a dozen screams, all the Mountain Cat Tribe's cultivation was sucked away. Their cultivation foundation was crippled. Even their consciousness was erased.
"Meow …"
"Meow, meow …"
A dozen Mountain Cats with spots on their bodies ran away from the grass. The entire Mountain Cat Tribe was beaten back to their original forms. They could no longer cultivate. Hu Da bowed to Illusion Princess again and said, "Lord Illusion Princess, let's go."
Hu Jiu watched coldly as an old Mountain Cat disappeared into the grass. She looked at Illusion Princess.
As long as Illusion Princess gave the order, he would give her a chance to escape even if he had to self-destruct his demon soul.
Illusion Princess didn't say anything. She walked silently to the flying ship.
Hu Da heaved a sigh of relief and said to his subordinates, "Return to the Thousand Fox Nation."
The operation was unexpectedly smooth this time. Hu Da's subordinates were relieved. It seemed that Lord Illusion Princess knew that even if they fought to the death, they wouldn't be able to escape. That was why she gave up resisting. This was what they wanted.
If they really fought her head-on, every one of them would be at risk of dying.
The huge flying ship flew across the sky at high speed and headed toward the Thousand Fox City.
It was extremely quiet on the flying ship.
Illusion Princess stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. She didn't say anything.
Hu Jiu stood behind her. Her mood was extremely gloomy.
At a certain moment, he suddenly felt something strange.
Behind him, there was a gaze that swept over him many times.
Hu Jiu turned around and met another pair of eyes.
It was a young man with an aquiline nose. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. His cultivation wasn't very high. He was only at the fourth realm. However, he stood side by side with Hu Da, who was at the fifth realm. Several fifth realm demons stood behind him. This meant that he had a high status beside Bai Xuan.
Hu Jiu didn't like Bai Xuan's people at all. She asked coldly, "What are you looking at?"
Li Mu was looking at Illusion Princess. He didn't answer Hu Jiu and looked away.
With his understanding of Illusion Princess, she wouldn't surrender so easily. This time, she didn't resist at all. She must have other intentions.
Could it be that she had no hope of revenge and wanted to assassinate Bai Xuan before she died?
She probably didn't know that Bai Xuan's cultivation had been forcibly raised to the sixth realm by the elders of the Sage Sect. Although his strength hadn't reached the normal sixth realm, he wasn't someone she could deal with now.
Hu Jiu felt that gaze again. She turned around and looked at the aquiline-nosed man.
She found that the aquiline demon opposite her had an ordinary appearance. However, she inexplicably had a good impression of him. Because of this, Hu Jiu started to doubt herself.
When did her taste become so bad? How could she be attracted to this kind of trash …
