Chapter 398: Xianhu Niangniang

Only after truly arriving at the Immortal Fox Sect did Xiao Han finally understand the true meaning of Yang Qianshan's inexplicable words.

Because, at this moment, he was facing a figure: the Sect Master of the Immortal Fox Sect—Xianhu Niangniang.

She was a bewitching beauty with a fiery figure, draped in fox fur, appearing to be in her twenties or thirties, possessing both the youthful vitality of a young girl and the seductive charm of a mature woman.

The most critical thing was...

The other party's eyes, like autumn water, carried intense charm as she gazed at him with a smile.

"Immortal Fox heard that a Spirit Array Grandmaster had taken the initiative to visit my Immortal Fox Sect. I had assumed it would be a white-haired old man; I never imagined that you, Excellency, would be so young. It truly has opened Immortal Fox's eyes."

Her seemingly casual, delicate laughter carried a thick sense of allure. If a man with slightly weaker strength were nearby, he might have already lost control, sinking into it and letting her manipulate him at will.

But Xiao Han merely glanced at Xianhu Niangniang indifferently and said with a calm expression, "Excellency, you had best withdraw your Charm Technique Supernatural Power. This seat has come to seek cooperation; playing these little tricks is meaningless."

At the same time, he cursed Yang Qianshan thoroughly in his heart for not giving him a heads-up.

Watching her look as if she wanted to swallow him whole, Xiao Han's mouth twitched. If she were an enemy, Xiao Han would have long since swept her away with a single strike of his long spear.

Alas, he had to cooperate with her, so he could only endure it for now.

And Xianhu Niangniang was clearly a tactful person; after keenly sensing the dissatisfaction in Xiao Han's words, she immediately adjusted herself.

Sitting upright in her seat, an air of dignity and grandeur instantly emerged. Clearly, this was the true demeanor of this renowned Xianhu Niangniang.

"Hehe, it was Immortal Fox who was reckless." Bowing elegantly, Xianhu Niangniang smiled naturally.

"I wonder what this cooperation you speak of is regarding?" Xianhu Niangniang's voice was slightly more serious, and carried a hint of curiosity.

A completely unfamiliar Spirit Array Grandmaster had visited suddenly; Xianhu Niangniang's heart was filled with more suspicion and caution, which was why she had tested him just now.

However, Xiao Han's calm and composed response left Xianhu Niangniang feeling uncertain. Her Charm Technique could even cause significant influence on those of higher levels.

If one wanted to achieve Xiao Han's level of resistance, there were only two possibilities: first, their cultivation must far exceed hers, at least at the level of a Great Perfection Earth Sovereign; second, the other party's mental strength must have reached a terrifying degree.

Regardless of which possibility it was, the other party was not someone she could afford to provoke, so she was curious about what the Immortal Fox Sect could possibly have that would catch his eye.

Xiao Han did not care about the calculations in Xianhu Niangniang's heart and got straight to the point: "I heard the Immortal Fox Sect has some conflict with the Shadow Demon Sect?"

Xianhu Niangniang did not deny it, a faint smile lingering on her lips, "Are you here to mediate, or..."

She had already made a guess in her heart. Since it was cooperation, there naturally had to be a basis for it; perhaps some unlucky soul had already been targeted.

"Does the Immortal Fox Sect Master not want to take action against the Shadow Demon Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Xianhu Niangniang was stunned for a moment, then could not help but laugh until she shook.

Finally, when she saw displeasure appear in Xiao Han's eyes, she stopped, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "You are truly so straightforward."

There are naturally techniques to negotiation, and one must not let others see one's bottom line, but this was the first time Xianhu Niangniang had seen someone like Xiao Han, who revealed his purpose without any concealment from the start.

Xiao Han could not help but feel helpless; negotiation was not his strong suit. If possible, he would prefer to roll up his sleeves and get to work.

Therefore, Xiao Han could only lay his cards on the table and base things on reality.

"How does Excellency intend to cooperate? And what must my Immortal Fox Sect pay?"

Xiao Han's actions instead dispelled most of Xianhu Niangniang's vigilance. After all, for someone so honest, their character was somewhat trustworthy, and there was no need to worry too much about the other party backstabbing an ally.

Xiao Han felt much more relaxed in his heart. If he wasn't good at it, he wasn't good at it; if it came down to it, he could take a small loss, so he immediately spoke:

"Shadow Demon Sect intelligence, subsequent cleanup, and the experts of the Immortal Fox Sect."

Xianhu Niangniang became serious. Intelligence went without saying; it was nothing more than various information and movements of the Shadow Demon Sect's experts.

Cleanup was also understandable. This person seemed to be alone; to eliminate trouble after the fact, he would likely deal a heavy blow to the Shadow Demon Sect and mobilize a large number of people. Even if he didn't say it, she would have ordered it anyway; she did not want to leave behind any future trouble.

It was just that...

"Excellency, can you explain what the experts of my Immortal Fox Sect need to do?" Xiao Han tapped his finger lightly on the table, his expression relaxed.

"That is what this seat will provide."

Then, under Xianhu Niangniang's shocked gaze, Xiao Han said slowly:

"All experts above the Supreme Realm at the Shadow Demon Sect headquarters, including the Sect Master, will be handled by this seat."

"The Immortal Fox Sect experts will provide support to prevent others from the Shadow Demon Sect from escaping."

Xianhu Niangniang could no longer sit still and stood up immediately, her charming face filled with horror, "What do you mean, Excellency?"

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, "My meaning seems very clear, does it not?"

Xianhu Niangniang took a deep breath, her red lips parted slightly, revealing a proper smile.

"Apologies, Excellency, Immortal Fox lost her composure."

Xiao Han's meaning was indeed very clear, but she could not believe that the other party actually wanted to take on the Shadow Demon Sect headquarters alone?

Since Xiao Han had sought out the Immortal Fox Sect for cooperation, it meant he had a basic assessment of the Shadow Demon Sect's power.

Not to mention the various arrangements at the Shadow Demon Sect headquarters, just that one Lower Earth Sovereign and dozens of Supremes would be enough to make an Upper Earth Sovereign expert feel overwhelmed.

Not to mention the countless disciples of the Shadow Demon Sect; even if their strength wasn't high, they were still a form of combat power!

But even so, Xiao Han still said such shocking words, which could only mean one thing...

"Immortal Fox dares to ask,"

"What is your strength..."

Xianhu Niangniang's tone was cautious now, fearing that if she spoke too loudly, she would offend this great god before her. Since he had the confidence to take down the Shadow Demon Sect headquarters, their Immortal Fox Sect would be no better off.

"My strength?"

Xiao Han nodded lightly; he should indeed give his partner some confidence.

"My current strength should be that of a Spirit Array Grandmaster; it should be a bit stronger than an ordinary Upper Earth Sovereign."

Hearing this, Xianhu Niangniang's eyelids twitched, and a strange look appeared on her bewitching face.

"Excellency, are you aware that the Shadow Demon Sect headquarters has various Spirit Arrays, and when combined with their experts, they can even blast an Upper Earth Sovereign to death?"

The implication was: with your strength, are you trying to seek death?

Xiao Han smiled slightly and asked in return:

"What if this seat can turn the arrays of the Shadow Demon Sect headquarters to my own use?"

Xianhu Niangniang's expression tightened, and she then said earnestly, "If that is truly the case, then I, Xianhu, have no objections."

Thinking of the people of the Shadow Demon Sect discovering that the Sect Protecting Array, which should have been aimed at the enemy, was now aimed at their own people, Xianhu Niangniang felt a wave of satisfaction in her heart.

At the same time, a chill rose in her heart; to be able to seize a sect's Sect Protecting Array for one's own use, the Spirit Array attainments of the person before her were certainly not just "a bit stronger than an Upper Earth Sovereign" as he had claimed.

Xianhu Niangniang began to feel fortunate that the Shadow Demon Sect had provoked such a terrifying enemy; otherwise, these good things would likely not have come their way.

Finally, Xianhu Niangniang raised the most sensitive question, her red lips parting slightly, and that charming, seductive voice that could make one's whole body go numb slowly echoed in the hall:

"Then, shouldn't Your Excellency speak about how we shall distribute the spoils of war after the matter is accomplished?"
