Chapter 290: The Declining Qingqiu Lineage

"Don't move!"

Wang Jianqiang had just regained consciousness when a cold voice suddenly reached his ears.

He turned his head to look.

A face full of tension and worry came into view.

Seeing this familiar face, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Hearing this familiar tone, Tushan Youyou felt a stir in her heart, but the tension on her face did not relax in the slightest.

For a Cultivator, imitating someone's voice is simply too easy.

One could not confirm whether Wang Jianqiang had been subjected to Possession based on voice alone.

Seeing Tushan Youyou still staring at him intently, as if she would launch an attack the moment something seemed wrong.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and spoke a number.

"One thousand two hundred and forty-one."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Tushan Youyou was stunned.

She reacted immediately, her face flushed red, and her expression relaxed in an instant.

After Possession, although the possessor might obtain the memories of the possessed.

They would only obtain a small portion, which would be incomplete and very fragmented.

If Wang Jianqiang had been subjected to Possession.

It would be impossible for him to remember this so clearly.

Seeing Tushan Youyou relax, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Rest assured, it is not so simple for that woman to attempt Possession on Wang."

Tushan Youyou nodded.

Following that, she looked at Wang Jianqiang curiously, "What about that Soul Body?"

"It has already been dealt with by Wang," Wang Jianqiang laughed.

Tushan Youyou nodded upon hearing this.

That Soul Body woman was very strong; logically speaking, not to mention that Wang Jianqiang was only at Golden Core Stage Perfection.

Even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would find it difficult to resist the other party's Possession.

She was very curious about what means Wang Jianqiang used to block it.

However, she knew very well that this already involved Wang Jianqiang's secrets, so she tactfully did not continue to ask.

She changed the subject.

"Who exactly was that Soul Body woman?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "That woman's mouth was very tight; nothing could be asked out of her."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Tushan Youyou nodded with regret, and then her expression stirred again, "By the way, Daoist Friend Wang."

"You previously said that besides that woman in the statue, there was another Soul Body in deep slumber, who is a predecessor of my Qingqiu Lineage."

"Is that true?"

"Of course it is true."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile and looked at the statue lying on the ground, "She was suppressed by that woman and kept in a deep slumber; now that the woman has left the statue and lost the other party's suppression, she must be waking up soon."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Tushan Youyou's eyes lit up.

The two did not wait for long.

About the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn.

The statue that had been lying on the ground suddenly showed movement.

A layer of faint Spirit Light rose from the statue's body.

The next moment.

A wisp of light smoke floated out from within the statue, transforming into an illusory figure.

This figure had a slender build.

Nine fluffy tails extended from behind her skirt, her appearance exactly the same as the statue.

She simply stood there.

Without the slightest affectation.

A powerful force of enchantment spread out invisibly.

It perfectly interpreted the four words: enchantment born of nature.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze toward the nine-tailed woman was somewhat fervent.

As if he might pounce on her at any moment.

A moment later.

He forcibly suppressed this impulse, and his eyes regained a trace of clarity.

"Oh?"

The nine-tailed woman looked at Wang Jianqiang in surprise, "Decent self-control."

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "Fox Queen?"

The woman looked at Wang Jianqiang upon hearing this, a smile appearing on her charming face, "When I was alive, people did indeed address me this way."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, then a trace of evil intent flashed in his eyes, "No, you are seducing me so unscrupulously, aren't you afraid that I might have my way with you?"

"Although you were not awake before, your spiritual sense was always there; you should have already perceived the situation just now, right?"

"With my strength, if I wanted to do something to you, you should be unable to resist in your current state."

Hearing this, the Fox Queen's smile remained unchanged, and she said in a soft tone, "I am merely a soul body about to dissipate; if you are interested, little brother, feel free."

Hearing the Fox Queen's soft and pleasant voice, Wang Jianqiang took a deep breath.

In every glance, every smile, every word, and every sentence, this woman exuded an intense sense of allure.

Just now, he had actually almost fallen for it again.

He curled his lip, "Wang does not like to force others."

Seeing this, the Fox Queen giggled, restrained the aura of allure on her body, and bowed solemnly to Wang Jianqiang, "Many thanks, Daoist Friend, for your help in saving my clansman from Possession and allowing the Heavenly Fox Essence Blood to return to my Qingqiu Lineage."

The dress on the Fox Queen's body was clearly manifested from Spiritual Power, yet for some reason, it seemed truly real.

As she bowed slightly, the neckline dipped down.

Wang Jianqiang caught a fleeting glimpse, and the harvest was not insignificant.

Too strong.

He exclaimed inwardly, while outwardly smiling calmly, "I have a deep friendship with Fairy Youyou, so naturally I could not watch her be harmed by a villain."

The Fox Queen did not seem to have noticed Wang Jianqiang's fleeting glimpse.

She nodded at him with a smile.

Then she turned her head to look at Tushan Youyou, "My clansman, although that Lan Nianbing was lying to you, there is one thing she did not get wrong."

"The Qingqiu Lineage does indeed possess a Secret Technique inheritance, which contains all the secret arts passed down since the founding of our Qingqiu Lineage."

"Next, I shall bestow the complete inheritance upon you."

Lan Nianbing!

So that woman was called Lan Nianbing.

Hearing this name, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

Tushan Youyou, however, felt a shock in her heart.

All the Secret Techniques since the founding of the Qingqiu Lineage?

Does that mean...

That it even includes those Secret Techniques lost during the ancient times?

Legend has it that before the ancient times, the Qingqiu Lineage was once extremely prosperous and was the royal lineage of the fox-human race.

It is just a pity.

At the end of the ancient period, due to some unknown reasons.

The Qingqiu Lineage lost most of its inheritance, its power declined day by day, and that is how it fell to its current state.

She was forced to leave the clan when she was young precisely because of a tragedy that occurred within the clan.

If not for the clan being weak.

That tragedy would not have happened... and she would not have left her home to join the Blood Demon Sect...

After a long while.

Tushan Youyou pulled her thoughts away from her memories and looked at the Fox Queen, who was watching her gently, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes.

"Will the Secret Technique inheritance cause you any depletion?"

The Fox Queen smiled, "I am already a departed soul; even if I do not give you the inheritance, I will inevitably dissipate within three years."

"Rather than that, it is better to fulfill my final purpose."

Hearing the Fox Queen's words, Tushan Youyou fell silent.

Seeing this, the Fox Queen shook her head, "Since the great battle of the ancient times, our Qingqiu Lineage must have developed very poorly, right?"

"With this Secret Technique inheritance, you will have hope to revitalize the clan."

"To restore the clan to its former glory."

Hearing the Fox Queen's words, Tushan Youyou's expression shifted.

When she was forced to leave the Qingqiu Lineage, the Qingqiu Lineage was already beset by internal and external troubles.

The situation now must be even worse.

"Ancestor, what exactly happened during the ancient times? Why was so much of our Qingqiu Lineage's inheritance lost!" Tushan Youyou could not help but ask the Fox Queen.

"Ancient times?"

A flash of nostalgia crossed the Fox Queen's face, and then she shook her head, "You are too weak right now; knowing too much will only affect your cultivation."

"When your strength is sufficient, you will naturally learn some secret histories."

Tushan Youyou nodded.

After that, she did not hesitate any longer and came before the Fox Queen's soul body.

She needed this Secret Technique inheritance, and the clan needed it even more.

"Calm your mind and spirit, I am going to begin."

The Fox Queen reminded Tushan Youyou and pointed her finger toward the center of her brows.
