After a moment, he continued, \"It was likely a Nether Fox. But there’s no sign of a struggle; they both left together. When did Nether Foxes and the Void Clan start coexisting peacefully?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Bu, do you know the Nether Fox’s strength?\" Manager Yin asked, his voice tinged with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were on the verge of catching up to the Beauty Serpent when this unexpected variable appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was probably just a fifth-tier Nether Fox,\" Bu Ren replied. \"If it were sixth-tier, it wouldn’t have fled; it would have turned to face us directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Yin nodded, his concern fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly glanced back over his shoulder. \"We’ve been here for ten breaths now. Why hasn’t Ji Lin caught up yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ignore him,\" Bu Ren said. \"Let’s focus on catching the Beauty Serpent first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately resumed their pursuit, accelerating their escape speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chasing for tens of thousands of miles, they still hadn’t spotted the Beauty Serpent, but they could sense she was nearby, just ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding Primordial Qi stirred without wind, clearly caused by the Beauty Serpent’s frantic escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was no mere rebirth, but a twisted transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wooo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing howl erupted, like steel needles stabbing directly into the duo’s Seas of Consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A late fifth-tier resentful spirit burst through the dense Primordial Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions shifted slightly as they hastily activated their Divine Soul Defense Spirit Treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though caught off guard by the sudden assault, they quickly regained their footing, facing the single enemy with their combined strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a fierce struggle, they finally slew the resentful spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving it much thought, they resumed their pursuit of the Beauty Serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, dozens of miles to their left, Song Wen learned of these events from the shadow void and breathed a slight sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His intervention had been timely enough to prevent the duo from catching up to the Nether Fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resentful spirit they had just faced had been hurled by Song Wen himself. Two of the nine tentacles extending from his head still gripped fifth-tier resentful spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, a peak fifth-tier void fiend has appeared ahead of the Nether Fox. If it continues its current course, it will inevitably collide with the creature,\" the shadow void suddenly warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guide me there,\" Song Wen commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by the shadow void, Song Wen quickly arrived several thousand miles ahead of the Nether Fox and encountered the void fiend—a massive, fish-like creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unleashed the Focused Spirit Stab, instantly slaying the fiend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After storing the corpse in his storage ring, Song Wen turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached the Nether Fox’s left side and telepathically instructed it to bypass the battle site, lest lingering traces of spiritual power arouse suspicion from Manager Yin and Bu Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he finished, the shadow void’s voice echoed in his Sea of Consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, a sixth-tier resentful spirit has appeared behind the two humans. It likely detected their residual aura and is rapidly closing in on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen sighed, lamenting his restless fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, when he and his companions had pursued the Beauty Serpent deep into the Primordial Qi Death Zone—over a million miles—they hadn’t encountered a single powerful resentful spirit or void fiend. Yet now, they were appearing one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flicker of movement, Song Wen darted back toward Manager Yin and Bu Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resentful spirit, only at the early stage of the sixth tier, posed no challenge. Song Wen swiftly dispatched it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this count as saving their lives? If so, their scouting the Six Fiends Hall’s mountain valley for me would be a fair repayment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Wen’s relentless pursuit, the Nether Fox finally led them to a location over 20,000 miles from the Six Fiends Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow Void, envelop me with your tentacles and carry me forward,\" Song Wen instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words faded, Shadow Void’s nine tentacles slowly coiled into a sphere, completely encasing Song Wen and concealing his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they were approaching the Six Fiends Hall, the sudden appearance of a Void Refinement Stage cultivator would easily arouse suspicion. However, the emergence of a void fiend would seem perfectly natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sphere sliced through the Primordial Qi, arriving less than 10,000 miles from the mountain valley before the Nether Fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Void’s sensory range within the Primordial Qi Death Zone extended 10,000 miles, allowing it to perceive everything within the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Song Wen’s request, Shadow Void found an earthen burrow and descended into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the Nether Fox raced toward the burrow from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nether Fox, bite off one of the Beauty Serpent’s tentacles and give it to me. Then, take the severed limb and continue forward. There’s a mountain valley about 9,000 miles ahead. Once you reach it, circle the valley a few times and hide the tentacle in a secluded spot,\" Song Wen transmitted telepathically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Nether Fox abruptly slowed its pace, its eyes darting around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, why must I do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Fox was well aware that two human cultivators were following behind it, but it knew nothing about the Six Fiends Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough with the questions! Just do as you’re told,\" Song Wen snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Fox was naturally cunning and fiercely protective of its life. If it knew the mountain valley was the Six Fiends Hall’s stronghold, it would never go near it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen had no intention of explaining the true reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, the Nether Fox was unlikely to face any danger in the mountain valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Divine Blood Gate had strictly forbidden anyone from hunting or capturing Nether Foxes. Even if the Six Fiends Hall members discovered the creature, they wouldn’t harm it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Nether Fox showed no sign of speeding up, Song Wen urged it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up! Those two are catching up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Fox rolled its black eyes, clearly resentful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it dared not disobey Song Wen’s command. Its lips twitched, revealing sharp fangs as it bit through one of the tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unconscious Beauty Serpent seemed to sense the pain, its scaled face twitching uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Fox descended, skimming the ground as it passed Song Wen’s earthen cave. With a snap of its jaws, it tossed the tentacle-less Beauty Serpent to Song Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen held a black cloth pouch in his hand—the very one he had seized from Yan Tong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had taken the time to refine it during his journey here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even begin the refinement process, Yan Tong’s divine soul imprint on the pouch had already vanished, confirming Yan Tong’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mystical light surged from the black pouch, instantly engulfing the falling Beauty Serpent and drawing it inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, Song Wen manipulated the earth to bury himself, suppressing his aura and remaining perfectly still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his right hand, he clutched an Earth Evasion Talisman, ready to escape at a moment’s notice should anything go wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, now that I’ve carried out your orders, what should I do next?\" the Nether Fox transmitted telepathically from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get far away from this mountain valley and find a place to hide. I’ll come find you later,\" Song Wen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of the Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--------------------------------------------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>📖Read (𝗥𝗗𝗖) on the Site till Ch1512.
