Chapter 825: I Killed Your Clan Members

Flames burned, melting everything around.

Mist shrouded the surroundings, the icy chill dispersed, and things returned to normal.

The mist lingered for a while, then quickly dissipated, and the Elder again saw the clan leader—just this scene before his eyes.

The clan leader was restrained, his chilling aura sealed, and his body and breath returned to that of an ordinary Fox Clan member.

"Clan leader."

The Elder moved to rescue the clan leader, but Hu Jiuwei lightly barked, "Elder, don't come over."

The Elder halted immediately, anxiously saying, "Clan leader, you must not get hurt."

Hu Jiuwei shook her head, "Elder, you're no match for him; coming here is useless. Don't act rashly, don't make a move."

Heishanyang slowly stepped forward, sizing up Hu Jiuwei, and laughed, "Kid, it still has to be you who steps in. This woman is truly insane; once she decides to act, she doesn't care who you are—she'll strike first and then speak."

Freezing one's own people outright—truly insane.

"However, this woman is remarkable; her bloodline is extremely pure, even purer than those two of yours from Longshe Shan. It seems to be the pure Qingqiu Fox Clan bloodline. Wow, I never imagined this world still harbored such a pure Qingqiu Fox Clan bloodline—truly unexpected."

"If such a bloodline existed in Tianwai, it would surely be heavily cultivated. If the Fox Clan of Tianwai learned that this place hides a Qingqiu Fox Clan bloodline, they'd definitely find a way to enter this world and take her away."

"Strange, this world shouldn't have such a bloodline, unless a Qingqiu Fox Clan left its bloodline here."

Heishanyang examined Hu Jiuwei, laying out all her secrets; Hu Jiuwei blinked and stared at Heishanyang.

The Qingqiu Fox Clan bloodline is her secret; even among the Fox Clan, only a few know of it.

The Heishanyang before her saw it at a glance; Hu Jiuwei doubted the bloodline of this Heishanyang.

The Elder's complexion changed, terror flashing in his eyes.

"Don't be surprised; it's just a Qingqiu Fox Clan bloodline. I've seen it before."

"Your bloodline, girl, is so pure that even in Tianwai, none as pure as yours could be found."

"To reach the True Person Realm in this world through one's own talent shows truly excellent innate roots; if you were sent to Tianwai, you'd surely soar to the heavens."

"But Tianwai is inescapable."

Heishanyang circled Hu Jiuwei, continuously appraising her.

Many secrets cannot evade its eyes.

"Tianwai is controlled by those people; your kind of pure Qingqiu Fox Clan bloodline is their favorite."

"Once they discover you, they'll go mad, capture you, and imprison you."

Hu Jiuwei fell silent; though she wanted to retort, she knew it was all true.

Everything Heishanyang said was exactly what she feared.

It's not that she doesn't want to go to Tianwai, but she cannot.

This sealed world cannot be left at all.

If exposed, endless torment and humiliation would await her.

Hu Jiuwei lacks certainty of leaving, so she remains hidden in this world, never revealing herself.

The Elder felt the same; he couldn't help but glance at the pair Chen Chuyang and Heishanyang, for they know too many secrets, and before them it seems there are no secrets at all.

"Who are you, sir?"

The form of address changed, respectfully calling Heishanyang "Your Excellency".

Heishanyang turned back, clearly enjoying the title "Your Excellency".

"Hahaha, you old fox have good eyes; my identity is not for you to know."

"You old kid are clever, you didn't act."

"If you had acted, huh."

The Elder felt deep relief; fortunately he hadn't acted.

He also didn't lay a deadly hand on Chen Chuyang.

Hu Jiuwei quietly watched Chen Chuyang, sensing he harbored no murderous intent toward her.

He merely sealed her, not intending to kill her.

"What do you want to do?"

Hu Jiuwei lifted her head, staring directly at Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang released his grip; he knew this woman wouldn't act rashly—she was clever.

Sure enough, Hu Jiuwei gave Chen Chuyang a faint glance, her gaze filled with… caution.

"It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do?" Chen Chuyang smiled at Hu Jiuwei, saying, "You rashly barged into my Longshe Shan and now ask me what I intend?"

"How amusing, both of you—state your purpose. If you don't give me a satisfactory reason, I will prevent you from returning."

Although Chen Chuyang spoke with a smile, the murderous intent in his eyes was genuinely cold.

Hu Jiuwei didn't doubt Chen Chuyang's words; this man could kill both of them.

It wasn't a joke.

Hu Jiuwei turned back, exchanging a glance with the Elder, who immediately said, "Your Excellency Chen Chuyang, our rash intrusion into Longshe Shan was our fault; our Fox Clan's Black Fox Elder fell here, and we cannot…"

He then gave the specific reason: the Black Fox Elder had vanished, and they needed to investigate the murderer.

His attitude was exceedingly sincere, never so before.

Chen Chuyang observed their attitude shift quickly, losing the earlier arrogance.

"That is roughly it: the Black Fox Elder and the Fox Heart Dharma Protector died within Longshe Shan's bounds. We came to investigate the murderer; if we have offended, please, Your Excellency, do not blame us."

The Elder lowered his bearing, daring not to let himself go wild.

He kept giving Hu Jiuwei signals, telling her not to speak.

"The two you mentioned, I killed them right here."

Hu Jiuwei: "…"

Elder: "……"

Heishanyang grinned at Chen Chuyang; this is Chen Chuyang, completely undisguised, very direct.

Speaking bluntly, just ask if you're afraid.

The two people who were stunned obviously didn't expect Chen Chuyang to be so direct.

At least he should pretend a bit, fool them, so they can each go home.

"You mean you killed our Fox Clan's Elder and Dharma Protector?"

"Not bad." Chen Chuyang admitted bluntly: "It was me who killed them; do you want to avenge them?"

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

The Elder and Hu Jiuwei simply couldn't understand why Chen Chuyang didn't follow the script, leaving them unable to respond.

"Ahaha, you're mistaken; we didn't come for revenge but to investigate the truth."

"The Black Fox Elder and Fox Heart Dharma Protector came to chase down our Fox Clan traitor, rashly entered your territory, offended you, and were killed by you; that's their own problem, unrelated to you."

The Elder wracked his brain to defend Chen Chuyang; with that sentence, Chen Chuyang looked at him with approval—indeed worthy of being the Fox Clan's Elder, his speech is different.

"Ahaha, you're quite good, Fox Clan Elder, right? That so-called traitor of your Fox Clan is also on my Longshe Shan; do you want to take him away?"

The Fox Clan Elder and Hu Jiuwei were stunned.

Now they completely didn't know what to say.

The two looked at each other, speechless.

Chen Chuyang again didn't follow the script, causing them not to know how to continue.
