Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 1273: Urgent Return to the Fox Clan

    

never inquired about the child's life or death afterward. He also sympathized with the child's plight and sent him to the dark guard training camp the next day."The path you choose is your own. Only..."What's going on This is my place of seclusion, why are there beasts here!"

The old immortal spoke sharply.

With a smile, Ripples bent down and scooped up the whirlwind in her arms.

"This is my pet, named Cyclone. He doesn't trust me to take care of the old immortal alone, so he came to keep me company."

"Hurry him away, lest he defile my place of quiet cultivation."

The old immortal continued.

"A place of cultivation You dare say it soiled your territory It's the other way around! Your filthy ground should be ashamed for sullying my feet!"

Ripple smiled sweetly, and at the same time, her disguise completely vanished, transforming into Ellen's appearance.

"Who are you What brings you to my territory"

The fox spirit's face finally changed, and he also knew why he felt flustered.

"Who I am is none of your concern. You only need to know that this place no longer belongs to you. Either leave and cultivate elsewhere, or be beaten back to your original form. The choice is yours."

After ripples finished speaking, a wave of pressure slammed the cunning fox spirit to the ground.

"Spare me, sir! Please spare my life!"

The weasel knew it had kicked an iron plate and could no longer disguise itself. It bared its fangs and ears, and a yellow tail wagged as it trembled and begged for mercy.

"I said pick it yourself, don't you understand"

The sound of ripples lowered by two points.

"I... I choose to become a solitary cultivator."

The cunning fox spirit, very aware of the situation, spoke.

Let's begin!

Ripple said.

The fox spirit had no choice but to offer up the demon pill he had cultivated. The next second, the demon pill was grasped in Lian Ri's hand.

Liàn Yī watched the wisps of blood-red and black stench swirling around the demonic pill, her face growing cold. This thing must have caused a lot of harm, otherwise it wouldn't have such a heavy aura of resentment. Walking down the path of evil was only a matter of time.

"No!!!"

The cunning fox demon roared ferociously.

It was too late. Ripple crushed the opponent's demon pill with her bare hands.

After the demonic pill shattered, its power quickly dissipated in the air. Only the resentful energy remained lingering in place, unable to find a way out.

As the demonic pill shattered, the yellow weasel spirit, who had previously looked like an ethereal immortal, was instantly transformed back into its original form. A large yellow weasel appeared before Lian Ri, its fur visibly dimming and losing its luster.

Ripple waved his hand, addressing the malicious energies:

The person who wronged you has a head, and the one who owes you money has an owner! After taking revenge on this beast, leave here to reincarnate!

Immediately, the allowed grievance energy enveloped the yellow weasel who was about to flee. It surged into the creature's eyes and mouth, instantly entering its body. The weasel then began rolling on the ground, black blood oozing from its skin, a truly gruesome sight.

Ripples touched the whirlwind's head and commanded:

"Let the whirlwind sweep those little nuisances away, and don't let them have a chance to run amok in the mortal realm."

"Yes, master!"

After receiving the mission, Fenghuang instantly vanished into the ripples, going to catch the yellow weasel.

Because this cunning fox spirit, the so-called place of quiet cultivation on this hillside, is actually its den. Any fox who practices cultivation, more or less, has stained itself with human life. Therefore, Lian Yi's action is doing justice for heaven, but there are rewards to be gained.

Needless to say, if we let this whole den of foxes cultivate into human forms by sucking people's vital energy, who knows what kind of havoc they would wreak on the mortal realm!

In his past life, he was recognized as a human emperor by eliminating this group of beasts during the eve of the lunar new year. A temple was even built for him to be worshipped in, granting him a wave of faith power afterward. This allowed him to seamlessly blend into the demon race.

After the malicious qi had been forced out of his body, the yellow weasel was left as a dry corpse with no signs of life. Outside the door, there came a sharp, agonizing cry from the yellow weasel.

Ripples raised her hand and cast a spell, turning the resentment into figures of innocent girls who bowed their heads to Ripples in mid-air.

"You have avenged your great revenge, go reincarnate!"

Ripple sighed and with a wave of her hand, sent those innocent souls away.

The whirlwind returned to Rippleside's side.

"Master, the task has been completed!"

Let's go!

The ripples waved a hand, placing the bodies of those foxes in front of the Taoist temple. With a flick of their sleeve, they destroyed the temple and then embraced the whirlwind to leave this place.

Early the next morning, a villager went to the temple to offer incense. That's when he realized there was no temple left. He saw collapsed houses and corpses of yellow weasels all over the ground. The man was terrified and screamed all the way to town to report it to the authorities.

The authorities immediately dispatched brave individuals to investigate the hillside. After confirming there was no danger, they sent more people to conduct a thorough inspection. They unearthed several skeletons of young women from the collapsed backyard. Only then did people realize that the women they had sent to serve the old immortal had been murdered. Families cried out in grief and anguish, their numbers unknown.

Even some people with hearts full of hatred, wielding hoes, clubs, and pitchforks, smashed the bodies of the weasels to pieces, seeking revenge for their dead children.

From then on, the villagers in the area never believed in any old immortals again. They paid a bloody price to understand that nothing good falls from the sky for free, and that you have to pay something to get something. Some things they could give, some things they gave up and lost everything.

As the ripples left the fox spirit's den, she quickened her pace back to the demon realm. She knew in her heart that the fox spirit had been deliberately sent to slow her down.

To eliminate the threat completely, she acted decisively even though she knew about it. She dealt with it without hesitation and continued on her journey. She believed she should be able to meet Lian Yexi in the demon clan's territory.

Fox Clan Territory in the Demon World

Bai Shuo had been guarding the fox den alone since his daughter left. His wife was also in seclusion, refusing to come out. He originally planned to go into seclusion with her, but as his daughter was away training, he couldn't bear to leave. So he could only venture out for a while every now and then, taking a stroll and seeing if there were any messages from his daughter.

That day, he received a message from his daughter saying that she would be back soon. She also specifically told him to pay attention to other demon clans wandering around the outskirts of the fox clan's territory recently.

Baishuo looked at the jade slip in his hand, frowning. He felt that his daughter seemed to have encountered something, or perhaps discovered something, but it wasn't convenient to say in the jade slip, so she sent such a veiled message.

Bai Shu received the jade slip, turned and left the fox den, went to the fox clan's territory for a stroll, but found nothing unusual. He then ran to the border between the human and demon clans, hoping to wait for his beloved daughter.

After wandering around for four or five days, Bai Shuo discovered that a demon cultivator from the wolf clan had been peddling human goods in the fox clan territory these two days. There were high-grade pills suitable for him, a great demon, and small trinkets suitable for little fox cubs. Most importantly, the other party was actually inquiring about his daughter, Bai Lianyi.

Bai Shuo's mind immediately began to make calculations, diverting a sliver of his attention to the other party and marking them. He also reminded the fox cubs in his clan to stay away from the wolf.

Just as he finished doing all that, Bai She sensed his daughter's aura and instantly disappeared from the fox den.ng drained their savings to support their aging parents, this was a stark contrast to the situation where one would abandon their parents at the first sign of trouble. This left Old Master Song with a...
