Chapter 1211: The Truth Behind the Fall of the Fox Queen

Hearing Yuzu's words, Wang Jianqiang narrowed his eyes.

A moment later, he suddenly began to laugh, his laughter filled with mockery.

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's reaction, Yuzu's expression sank.

Wang Jianqiang's laughter paused, and he shook his head, "Old woman, your skin is as thick as the wrinkles on that old face of yours."

"A hero? Are you even worthy?"

Yuzu's expression turned livid, "Wang Jianqiang, are you insulting me? Do not go too far!"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "No, Wang is merely stating a fact."

Having said this, he paused, then said indifferently, "Wang could have killed you directly without wasting words on you."

"However, Wang has always been upright and self-respecting, and I do not wish to stain my reputation because of you."

"So I shall have a proper reckoning with you."

"Let us see if you are truly worthy of the name of hero."

"Since you brought up the ancient war yourself, it is perfect; I have a question to ask you."

"How did the Fox Queen fall?"

Hearing this sudden question from Wang Jianqiang, Yuzu's heart skipped a beat, and a flicker of uncertainty flashed deep in her eyes.

"What? Are you afraid to speak?"

Just then, Wang Jianqiang's voice came again.

Yuzu's expression returned to normal in an instant, and she shook her head, "What is there to be afraid of? Yuzu fought a great battle against a top powerhouse from Outside the Realm back then, and we both perished together."

Wang Jianqiang sneered, "Perished together? If she had not been ambushed by you and driven into a desperate situation, would she have chosen the path of perishing with the enemy?"

As soon as Wang Jianqiang's words fell.

The scene was instantly in an uproar.

At this moment, everyone had even forgotten their fear of Wang Jianqiang.

The Fox Queen was killed by Yuzu?

This news was too shocking for them.

Although Yuzu also hailed from the Fox Clan, her reputation within the Fox Clan was not on the same level as the Fox Queen's.

If this news were true.

The entire Fox Clan would immediately view Yuzu as their greatest enemy.

Yuzu's heart shook, feeling somewhat incredulous.

When she had seized the opportunity to ambush the Fox Queen while she was fighting the powerful enemy from Outside the Realm, there should have been no one else around.

How did this Wang Jianqiang know?

And how old was he?

How could he know the secrets of that ancient battle?

Her expression shifted, then quickly recovered, and she snorted coldly, "You are slandering me."

"I am of the same clan as the Fox Queen, and at that time, the Immortal Abandoned Land was in the midst of an invasion from Outside the Realm, facing life-or-death survival."

"How could I possibly disregard the big picture and attack the Fox Queen?"

Hearing Yuzu's words, Wang Jianqiang scoffed, "The big picture?"

"Old woman, do you still have the face to say those three words?"

"Not long ago, when the Outside the Realm Army invaded, your Fox Clan did not send a single soldier, and you, as a Great Vehicle Late Stage cultivator, ignored the war entirely."

"Is this what you call the big picture?"

"Stop trying to gild your wrinkled face; it is disgusting."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the surrounding Fox Clan cultivators all revealed looks of shame.

Although the order not to participate in the war was issued by Yu Ya.

But the fact remained that the Fox Clan cultivators indeed did not participate in the war.

Yuzu's expression stiffened, "The reason I did not participate in the war was simply because I was at a critical juncture in my cultivation and could not come out of seclusion."

"If you force this matter to make your point, it is too far-fetched."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Since that is the case, we shall not mention this for now."

Having said this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, "I wonder if you still remember the name Lan Nianbing."

Upon hearing this, a clear flash of panic appeared on Yuzu's face, "How do you know this name?"

She scrutinized Wang Jianqiang with uncertainty.

Lan Nianbing was the very top powerhouse from Outside the Realm who had perished with the Fox Queen back then.

The other party should have fallen along with the Fox Queen.

How could this junior know this name?

Wang Jianqiang gave a playful smile, his finger tapping lightly on the Necklace at his neck.

A blue Spirit Light flew out from the Necklace, transforming into a figure.

Seeing this figure, Yuzu's eyes widened instantly, "Lan Nianbing, you are actually not dead!"

"I survived by sheer luck."

Lan Nianbing looked at Yucha, a flash of wistfulness appearing on her face.

Although Yucha was not as good as the Fox Queen, she was still one of her former rivals.

Ten thousand years ago.

They were the top figures of their respective worlds.

Never did I expect that after ten thousand years, we would meet again only to both be reduced to prisoners.

Of course...

Her condition is much better than Yucha's.

At the very least, she is not in immediate danger of losing her life, and as long as she is willing, she can still obtain resources from Wang Jianqiang.

There is even hope of returning to her peak.

Thinking of this, she reined in the complex thoughts in her heart and looked at Yuzu with an indifferent expression, "Yucha, your strength is not weak; if you had been willing to join forces with the Fox Queen back then, I would have likely perished at your hands."

"But you chose to hide in the shadows and ambush the Fox Queen."

"The Fox Queen was severely wounded and, knowing she could not escape, had no choice but to use a Forbidden Technique, yet she did not use this Forbidden Technique on you, choosing instead to perish together with me."

"Based on this magnanimity alone, you are far inferior to her."

"I never expected that after so many years, your jealous nature and disregard for the bigger picture would remain unchanged."

Hearing Lan Nianbing's words, everyone present suddenly reacted.

This person was actually the formidable enemy who had perished together with the Fox Queen back then!

Mu Lingxi and Chen Jiaojiao looked at Lan Nianbing, a flash of surprise also crossing their eyes.

They had not expected that besides Xiaobai, there was actually another ancient powerhouse on Senior Brother's (Uncle Wang's) person.

Only Youyou was lost in thought; recalling her encounter within the Fox Queen Mansion, a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

On the other side.

Yuzu had already fallen into silence.

She had prepared many plans to deny her crimes, but she truly had not expected this Wang Jianqiang to be so ruthless.

He had brought the person involved directly to her face; how could she still quibble?

No wonder this youth could know so many secrets at such a young age.

It turned out Lan Nianbing was right by his side!

Seeing Yuzu's tacit admission, the surrounding Fox Clan cultivators knew that this dispute already had a result.

The Fox Queen really was killed by Yuzu!

"Yucha, you killed the greatest Clan Leader of our Fox Clan; you deserve to die!"

"Yucha, you are not worthy of being a Fox Clan cultivator!"

"The Fox Clan should feel ashamed because of you!"

The greatness of the Fox Queen was carved into the bones of every member of the Fox Clan.

She had already become a totem in the hearts of every Fox Clan member.

In daily life, a single word of disrespect toward the Fox Queen could potentially trigger a life-or-death confrontation between a Fox Clan member and other races.

Let alone this culprit who killed the Fox Queen?

At this moment.

The eyes of all the Fox Clan cultivators turned red.

A wave of madness permeated the crowd.

Sensing the killing intent of her own kin, Yuzu's composure instantly shattered.

In her rivalry with the Fox Queen, she had almost never gained the slightest advantage.

After successfully killing the other party, the pent-up frustration in her heart had already dissipated.

However, now.

Seeing the behavior of the fellow clansmen, the long-lost jealousy in her heart surged once again.

Why?

Why can someone who has been dead for many years still command such great prestige within the clan?

She is also a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, and the blood flowing in her body is also that of the Fox Clan; why is it that she cannot receive such treatment?
