Chapter 830: Eight-Eyed Demon King, Tianwai Demon Clan?
Within the Fox Clan.
Beyond the cave realm.
When Hu Jiuwei and the others learned of Chen Chuyang's arrival, they naturally began preparations, greeting them immediately, letting them experience a taste of Fox Clan customs, arranging everything meticulously, and allowing Chen Chuyang and Heishanyang to enjoy it as well.
The next day, they went straight to the main point: entering the Fox Clan's cave realm, fearing Chen Chuyang might back out, and Hu Jiuwei could not keep waiting.
Thus this scene unfolded.
"This place is the entrance to the Fox Clan's cave realm. Once you go in, you'll face the massive pressure of the Fox Clan's cave realm. Since you're not of our Fox Clan and lack Fox Clan bloodline, it will be more severe."
"This is the fur our clan uses to shield against the pressure, made from the fur of our Fox Clan members. Wearing it can exempt you from most of the cave realm Protector."
"Lord Chen Chuyang, you must remember not to lose this cloak; otherwise, you will be subjected to the Fox Clan's cave realm Protector."
Hu Jiuwei clarified the situation in advance, giving Chen Chuyang and Heishanyang two cloaks, each forged from Fox Clan fur, lacking the usual animal odor and instead smelling fragrant.
To Chen Chuyang's surprise, this fur is very precious; fur of this grade is rarely circulated outside.
The raw material is also forged from the fur of Fox Clan members, extremely rare, which is why only Chen Chuyang qualifies to possess it.
The Elder stood nearby, having prepared everything for them.
"Fine." Chen Chuyang willingly donned the cloak, not ignoring the advice.
Heishanyang likewise, not the type to be arrogantly overbearing.
When on someone else's territory, one must respect them and follow the arrangements.
The Elder let out a sigh of relief, fearing Chen Chuyang and his party might refuse, which could cause a series of troubles, undesirable indeed.
This place is Fox Clan territory; if Chen Chuyang were angered and blamed the Fox Clan, it would be very troublesome.
The Elder has experienced Chen Chuyang's terrifying power and does not wish to oppose him.
"Lord Chen Chuyang, the Fox Clan's cave realm is fraught with danger; even if our Clan Leader goes with you, many unexpected perils await."
"Within our Fox Clan's cave realm lie countless illusionary realms; a moment of carelessness can easily trap you."
"Any situation could occur inside, so you must… be cautious and stay as close behind the Clan Leader as possible."
The Elder emphasized this point.
Many clan members before died exactly this way.
They were beguiled, then fell into an endless illusion from which they could not escape, unaware of their death.
Within the Fox Clan's cave realm, danger is abundant; even they cannot guarantee safety with absolute certainty.
"Understood."
Chen Chuyang naturally would not act recklessly; the danger of the Fox Clan's cave realm exceeds his expectations.
No wonder Hu Jiuwei invited him to delve deep into the Fox Clan's cave realm, where danger would increase dramatically.
Hu Jiuwei was uncertain, so he paid a price, letting Chen Chuyang accompany him.
Although the Elder did not speak directly, he still gave Chen Chuyang a side reminder.
He gave many instructions; after the Elder recited every possibility he could think of, he felt at ease.
"Time's up, Lord Chen Chuyang, let's go in."
The cave realm opened, and an entrance appeared before them.
Hu Jiuwei led, Chen Chuyang followed, and Heishanyang trailed behind.
After entering the cave realm, the entrance vanished. The Elder instructed, "Watch the entrance; once they return, open it for them immediately."
"Yes."
Fox Clan members monitor this spot, controlling the entrance; it must be opened from outside for those inside to exit.
Entering and exiting are the same; there is only this single entrance.
This is an exit/entrance solely controlled by the Fox Clan; other races cannot enter.
"Elder, can a human enter the cave realm?"
A figure emerged behind the Elder, having hidden nearby until the entrance closed, then appeared.
The Heart Fox Elder, a powerful elder of the Fox Clan, ranks among the top in strength within the clan.
He is one of the Fox Clan's strong combat forces, only slightly weaker than the Elder.
"The Clan Leader has already decided; what can we say?"
"Moreover, the Clan Leader is determined to obtain the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox bloodline to complete his own Advancement."
"You also know Tianwai's surveillance of our Fox Clan; once we become weak, they will mercilessly enslave us."
"This time, the Clan Leader is determined to succeed, even if it means sending a human inside, no matter the cost."
The Heart Fox Elder spoke, "I'm not doubting the Clan Leader, but can a human truly help the Clan Leader?"
"You must know we've plotted for millennia to obtain the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox bloodline, yet still cannot acquire it."
"Can that human truly secure the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox bloodline for the Clan Leader?"
The Elder closed his eyes, and after a moment opened them, staring deeply at the Heart Fox Elder, saying, "Do not underestimate humans; Lord Chen Chuyang is powerful. The Clan Leader and I are only a few moves away from defeat. This person is unfathomable; you should not test him nor offend him."
"He must have noticed your presence, but simply did not expose it."
"What!" the Heart Fox Elder exclaimed, staring at the Elder in disbelief, "Elder, you say neither you nor the Clan Leader can match him?"
"Indeed," the Elder nodded, "If this person had not refrained from killing us, it's likely the Elder and I would have perished on Longshe Shan."
"White Deer King also pleaded, so you shouldn't tempt death; if he kills you, the Elder and the Clan Leader cannot intercede."
The Heart Fox Elder, shocked, nodded, having realized Chen Chuyang's terror; the Clan Leader is the strongest among the Fox Clan.
Even the Clan Leader is not a match; he would not act foolishly nor sacrifice himself needlessly.
The Heart Fox Elder lifted his head, gazed at the cave realm entrance, and inhaled a cold breath, "Perhaps this time the Clan Leader can fulfill his wish, lead the Fox Clan to rise, and then return to Tianwai."
"Hope, perhaps."
The Elder said lightly.
Inside the cave heaven.
A towering figure halted, turned back, and its two eyes flashed with a hint of madness and joy.
"Someone's coming, indeed someone has entered the cave heaven, hahahaha."
"Heaven won't stop me either."
"I never thought anyone would still enter the cave heaven; even the heavens are on my side of the eight eyes."
The towering man, over two meters tall, had his upper body bare.
His body was muscular, and atop his head were four pairs of eyes.
A total of eight identical eyes, neatly arranged on both sides, symmetrically opposite each other.
His mouth was full of fangs, not human teeth but those of some terrifying beast.
Radiating demonic power, massive and surging, he took a few steps forward, leaving deep footprints on the ground.
Even stones were no exception; they too left a footprint.
