Chapter 844: Third Uncle Meets Sima Song

The Heart Fox Elder died, and Hu Jiuwei only then turned around, her eyes flashing with a hint of sorrow.

The Elder who had accompanied her for years died just like that; she felt some reluctance, but she knew this was not a time for grief.

"Let's go, we must leave the Fox Clan cavern quickly."

"Alright."

Chen Chuyang said nothing, followed her movements, and hurried away toward the distance.

Hu Jiuwei worried that the Fox Clan might make a big move, wanted to go back and see, Protector those who were daydreaming.

One Heart Fox Elder alone could not accomplish anything; besides, there were others who teamed up with her. Hu Jiuwei knew that rushing back also meant clearing those threats early, to prevent the Fox Clan from falling into chaos.

As for Chen Chuyang, she had no mind to deal with him now; Chen Chuyang also understood this and followed the whole way.

The road back was swift; they knew the path and that there was no danger. In less than a few hours they arrived at the entrance, Hu Jiuwei began communicating with the outside Protector, and soon an exit opened.

Hu Jiuwei waited a moment, and after confirming no danger, she went out again.

Chen Chuyang followed, and Heishanyang followed as well. They would not doubt that Hu Jiuwei would act. After the light flickered, they arrived outside, back at the entrance they had entered. Several Fox Clan Protectors stared at Chen Chuyang and the others, but most of them stared at Hu Jiuwei, wanting to see if her bloodline had changed.

After watching for a while, those Protectors quickly closed their eyes and continued to guard the place.

The Great Elder appeared quickly, came to greet Hu Jiuwei as she emerged. Seeing Hu Jiuwei's face, the Great Elder swallowed the words he wanted to say, did not speak, and instead followed behind her back into the Fox Clan's Dadian, where Hu Jiuwei instructed the Great Elder to arrange matters for Chen Chuyang.

Then he vanished.

The Great Elder promptly arranged for Chen Chuyang and hurried away.

Heishanyang, who had been silent, chuckled and transmitted his voice: "Kid, something's happened inside the Fox Clan; Hu Jiuwei, that woman, is about to take ruthless action."

Whether she allies with the Monster Race or humans of this world, Hu Jiuwei can treat them as invisible.

Only Tianwai beings, whether human or Monster Race, are unforgivable.

Heishanyang knows best the oppression the people of this world endure; many ancestors were killed by Tianwai Strong Ones, or became Pill Refining material for them, and none managed to escape.

These Strong Ones are Tianwai‑farmed food; once ripe, they will be harvested.

Regarding Tianwai, the Strong Ones of this world are filled with murderous intent; if not for insufficient strength, they would have already killed their way out.

Hu Jiuwei is no exception; she knows Tianwai too well, which is why she swiftly cleans out those people of the Fox Clan to ensure its stability.

These matters they cannot intervene in, nor may they intervene.

Chen Chuyang understood, so he behaved obediently in the room, with no intention of leaving at all.

"Kid, aren't you going to help? The Fox Clan has plenty of beauties; you could let them taste a woman's pleasure before they die, that would be a help to them."

The main thing is those Fox Clan's yin essence, which is a good thing.

Just killing them like that is such waste.

Even if refined into pills, they have many uses.

Not to mention the Fox Clan's blood and their pelts, all good material for forging weapons.

On the Monster Race, the whole body is treasure.

It must not be wasted too much.

"Haven't you had enough?"

Heishanyang chuckled: "Of course, my appetite is huge; a single pill is not even enough to fill a tooth gap."

If he could eat a bit more, Heishanyang naturally would not be polite.

Even if he ate it all, it's fine; he can endure it.

Chen Chuyang gave him a cold stare and said, "You just think that way; those Fox Clan people won't allow you to do that. If you really do it, you won't be able to leave the Fox Clan."

"……" Heishanyang naturally knew it was just a joke.

One night passed quickly.

That night was sleepless.

Inside the Fox Clan, many things happened; the scent of blood lingered and has not yet dissipated.

That night, Hu Jiuwei swiftly cleared out some Fox Clan members; those people were all Tianwai Monster Race individuals.

Anyone with that thought and who defected was killed without mercy.

At such times, one must be ruthless, must strike hard, and cannot be merciful.

Otherwise, if that happens again, wouldn't Hu Jiuwei…?

After one night, the Fox Clan's members were reduced by about a tenth; at dawn, many were still cleaning up.

The Great Elder sat face‑to‑face with Hu Jiuwei, his face weary, and said, "Clan Leader, what have you encountered?"

Hu Jiuwei gave her a glance and slowly recounted what had occurred inside the cavern.

She disclosed everything, including the news that she had slept with Chen Chuyang, as well as the news of the Nine‑tailed Celestial Fox's resurrection, with no concealment.

After the Great Elder heard, his mouth gaped, unable to close for a long time.

After a incense stick's worth of time.

The Great Elder stood, stared at Hu Jiuwei, walked around her once, and finally made a decision.

Indeed different—the aura, the temperament radiating from her body, had changed.

The Clan Leader had undergone a massive change; her bloodline was the focal point.

"Clan Leader, your bloodline."

"It is already in Advancement, and will soon complete Advancement," Hu Jiuwei said with a complex expression; this was one of the benefits she gained.

Regarding Chen Chuyang, she felt both love and hatred; several times she harbored murderous thoughts, but set them aside.

"Because of him?"

"You could say so."

The Great Elder fell silent; after receiving Hu Jiuwei's confirmation, she didn't know what to say.

"Then how will you deal with him?"

Hu Jiuwei lifted her head, looked at the Elder, and asked, "Elder, what should I do?"

The Elder fell silent again.

She had no experience, and didn't know how to handle such a matter.

"Clan chief, perhaps we should leave it for now and let time decide."

Hu Jiuwei thought for a moment; it could only be that way.

"Very well, it can only be so."

The two stared at each other, and for a moment they were lost in thought.

Or perhaps they had no solution either, not knowing how to deal with it.

Acting directly was clearly impossible; Chen Chuyang's strength was too great, and if they struck, they might be killed by the shock.

Not acting, however, left them unable to swallow their resentment.

Moreover, the presence of the nine‑tailed celestial fox gave the Elder another thought; within the Fox Clan, the two bloodlines of nine‑tailed celestial foxes might…

Meanwhile.

Outside Longshe Cheng.

A caravan on the move encountered enemies.

Third Uncle Chen Shen led the clan members in resistance; the opponent struck ruthlessly, and with a single move killed two guards.

Chen Shen was naturally angry; they had gone out so many times without ever facing a robbery, yet this time they were ambushed.

The assailant concealed his shape and face; Chen Shen exchanged a few moves and felt increasingly familiar.

"Are you a leftover of the Sima family?"

The masked man's heart trembled, his actions stalled, and Chen Shen seized the chance, piercing his arm.
