Chapter 961

837. Fu Xuan: Good news, the Qingqiu Fox Clan has been grounded.

"Lady Fu, you've worked hard... Go get a check-up later; don't let any lingering side effects remain."

Jing Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

He truly hadn't expected that Fu Xuan would have such a miserable encounter on her trip out.

"So, for now..."

The General of the Yaoqing Xianzhou to the side looked at Fu Xuan with some hesitation.

"There's no problem; Mr. Otto and the others helped me undo it. Otherwise, I would have been controlled by now."

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, Fu Xuan looked at the gazes of Hua and the others and said in a low voice:

"I understand. I hope everyone can supervise me during this time. I can't guarantee whether the methods of the cultivators might have other issues."

"My apologies, Lady Fu, but for the sake of the countless Fox people on the Xianzhou, it must be this way."

Jing Yuan smiled apologetically.

"I know this better than you do, General. If you have time, you should think about what to do. The Qingqiu Fox Clan is not easy to deal with."

"As the number one power under the Shushan Sect, their own strength is also terrifying. We on the Xianzhou have absolutely no way to fight them."

Hearing this, Jing Yuan shook his head.

"There is no way to fight. If we resist, it will only lead to the destruction of the entire Xianzhou. We have all seen the power of the cultivators."

"So, is there a way?"

The Yaoqing Xianzhou General looked at Jing Yuan expectantly.

"No way. The gap in strength is too large; there is simply no opportunity to get involved."

"Then we just watch the Fox people die? They clearly aren't even Tushan Fox Clan!"

Another General slammed the table in a fit of temper.

"The principle of 'presumption of innocence' does not exist in the cultivation world. The cultivation world only cares about cutting weeds and eliminating roots. Even if there is a shred of suspicion, you must die."

Jing Yuan gave a bitter laugh.

"What a cruel rule, but... perhaps it is precisely because of this that the strong in the cultivation world have reached this point?"

"To survive in that world, one cannot be anything but ruthless."

Hua rubbed her temples and said helplessly:

"The most critical issue now is not arguing about whether our Fox people are Tushan Fox Clan, but finding a way to protect them."

"Do the Generals have any ideas?"

At this, the entire conference room fell silent.

Just as Fu Xuan was about to say something, her token suddenly lit up.

Fu Xuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly took out the token.

"Lady Fu, this is..."

"Shh!"

Fu Xuan hurriedly stopped Jing Yuan and tapped the token lightly.

The next moment, Old Yang's projection appeared from it.

"Miss Fu Xuan, I have some good news to inform you. I assume you have already returned to the Star Rail universe, right?"

Fu Xuan nodded, and Old Yang smiled:

"After Otto and I returned to Shushan, we jointly submitted a report letter to the Sect Master. After the Sect Master learned of the Qingqiu Fox Clan's actions, he was quite furious."

"He sent our Dragon Head Peak Senior Brother Xiao to carry the Law Enforcement Hall's decree to the Qingqiu Fox Clan."

"The Sect Master ordered the Qingqiu Fox Clan not to leave the mountain for five years and to reflect behind closed doors."

"Moreover, Lady Shenzi has also expressed her stance on this matter, showing some dissatisfaction with the Qingqiu Fox Clan's unauthorized actions."

"Following the Sect Master's wishes, Lady Shenzi intends to leave the Qingqiu Fox Clan out in the cold for a while. In other words, you don't need to worry about the Qingqiu Fox Clan's affairs anymore."

Hearing this, Fu Xuan was overjoyed.

"Really?"

"Of course. This matter has spread throughout the entire Shushan world. You'll know as soon as you ask around when you get back."

"That's great!"

Fu Xuan clapped her hands excitedly and thanked him repeatedly.

"Many thanks to Mr. Welt and Mr. Otto. If it weren't for your help, we really wouldn't have known what to do."

"It was just a small favor."

Old Yang smiled and added:

"The Star Rail universe is a universe that the Sect Master values highly. This time, the Qingqiu Fox Clan acted without understanding the situation, which offended the Sect Master."

"Even if we hadn't said anything, the Sect Master would have warned the Qingqiu Fox Clan."

"However, you still cannot be careless. After all, the Qingqiu Fox Clan is a race protected by Lady Shenzi."

"Although they made a mistake this time, you must know that if any other spirit race had done such a thing, the Sect Master would have sent people to exterminate them without a second word."

"The Qingqiu Fox Clan is only receiving a small punishment as a warning to curb their arrogance."

"Therefore, you must think of a way as soon as possible, preferably one that lets the Xianzhou Fox Clan receive an endorsement from Lady Shenzi."

"That way, the Qingqiu Fox Clan won't dare to take action against you so easily."

838. This honor fought for by the Shushan disciples.

Hearing Old Yang say this, Fu Xuan's expression turned slightly solemn, and she nodded:

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Welt."

"Since the news has been delivered, I won't take up any more of your time. You are welcome to visit Shushan again next time."

Old Yang exchanged a few polite words with a smile and disappeared without a trace.

Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jing Yuan and the others.

"General, you should have heard Mr. Welt's words just now."

Jing Yuan nodded slightly and said in a low voice:

"The Qingqiu Fox Clan has been grounded, which counts as a punishment. They shouldn't dare to continue taking action against us in the short term."

"For now, we can consider this crisis averted, but we still cannot be careless."

After a pause, Jing Yuan sighed:

"You also heard that Mr. Welt said if it were any other spirit race that dared to do such a thing, they would have long been exterminated by that Sect Master."

"The Qingqiu Fox Clan was only grounded as a minor punishment, which shows that the Qingqiu Fox Clan still holds a different status in that person's heart."

"Now that they are grounded to reflect, they may not dare to take action against us in the future, but we cannot pin our hopes on them."

"Right now, our only way out is perhaps what Mr. Welt suggested: to get in touch with that Lady Shenzi."

"Lady Fu, are you confident about this matter?"

Fu Xuan was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"I have some confidence. However, I need to have some Xianzhou Fox people follow along, but that is inevitably a bit dangerous."

"Stepping into Shushan, there's no guarantee we won't be targeted by other Fox clans..."

Jing Yuan said in a low voice:

"There is no other way now. Once we have prepared, Lady Fu, you should take people there."

"It's just that I'm more curious about another matter now..."

Jing Yuan looked at Fu Xuan, puzzled.

"According to what you said, cultivators are high and mighty and look down on mortals. Why would that Shushan disciple act like that? He seems to be currying favor with you?"

"This matter... involves internal competition within Shushan. All things considered, it's not necessarily a good thing."

Fu Xuan sighed and said slowly:

"When we went to Shushan today, besides seeing the four great spirit races and the cultivators, we also met several figures who hold significant weight in Shushan."

"We have seen some of the internal competition within Shushan."

"Powerful cultivators and geniuses all have their own groups. Shushan encourages healthy competition among disciples; as long as no lives are lost, they don't interfere much."

"Currently, Shushan is divided into several famous factions based on its seven peaks."

"Just the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall on Dragon Head Peak are divided into several camps."

"Although Mr. Welt is from Dragon Head Peak, it is said that he has a very good relationship with many people from Wind Return Peak; they are a group."

"Mr. Otto and Mr. Welt have had grievances before, and the two are not on good terms, so Mr. Otto's group is based over at the Dragon Head Peak headquarters." ===== CHAPTER 962 =====
