Chapter 2282: Chapter 2277: Demon Fox Conference

Fox Bachang walked in cheerfully from outside, seeing Mountain Ghost Granny and Hu Jiuze, she slightly bowed and greeted the two, "Senior Mountain Ghost, Sister Jiuzhe."

"Mmm. Sit down."

As the master of the courtyard, Hu Jiuze pointed to a stone bench beside her and then spoke.

Fox Bachang nodded, then said, "Thank you, Sister Jiuzhe. Sister Jiuzhe, Senior Mountain Ghost, I just went to see City Lord Tang Ming. There’s something I’ve always been puzzled about and would like to discuss with you two to help me understand."

Fox Bachang repeated the conversation she had with Tang Ming to Hu Jiuze and Mountain Ghost Granny.

Mountain Ghost Granny was full of surprise, while Hu Jiuze’s face showed no expression due to her being a ghost cultivator. Only her voice seemed quite excited: "Tang Ming truly asked you like this, excellent, this young man has finally come to his senses."

"Sister Jiuzhe, you agree with Tang Ming’s view?"

Fox Bachang did not expect that Fox Bachang and Mountain Ghost Granny would be so supportive of Tang Ming’s idea.

As a manager of a power, Fox Bachang had always been diligent and was quite satisfied with her affairs.

When Tang Ming was capable of purifying demonic lands, Fox Bachang stood behind Tang Ming for the interests of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range at the first moment.

Even, because of her love for Hu Jiusheng and Hu Mei’er, she began to love Tang Ming by association.

But in Fox Bachang’s heart, Tang Ming was, after all, a human, and she was a Fox Demon. The Fox Demon Clan collaborating with humans had its own limits. For her, West Continent City was just a city entered for the benefit of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range.

The most important thing about entering West Continent City was gaining benefit for the Fox Spirit Mountain Range.

"In the eyes of the Demon Monarch and demons, Fox Demons and humans are the same, all enemies of the Demon Abyss in Taoyuan World. They will not see you differently because of your race. If West Continent City falls, Fox Spirit Mountain will be destroyed. Not agreeing will only make the cooperation more polarized. Even if you support Tang Ming, in reality, Tang Ming is just an outsider to you."

Mountain Ghost Granny laughed softly, then said.

Her words made Fox Bachang’s eyes narrow, then she said, "But do you think my words are wrong? If West Continent City can’t hold on, the formations set up by Hu Jiusheng in the Fox Spirit Mountain Range can serve as a second line of defense."

"Of course, it’s incorrect. The formation defenses of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range and Dou Niu Mountain are known to me, but they should be used to guard against Sea Demons and demons straying in the Demon Abyss Sea."

Mountain Ghost Granny raised her head to look at Fox Bachang.

Fox Bachang’s pupils narrowed, then she said, "I see your point. Rest assured. West Continent City and the Fox Spirit Mountain Range will always be allies. I will treat West Continent City as my home base."

Watching Fox Bachang leave, Hu Jiuze sighed deeply, "This person, Fox Bachang, has a good heart, but is too self-assured. She thinks what she believes is good must be good, always forcing her ideas onto others. However, the Fox Spirit Mountain Range has been well managed over the years."

"That’s why I spoke to her that way earlier. I think she should have understood my meaning, ’lipless teeth grow cold,’ even the clever rabbit has three burrows, putting all your eggs in one basket is asking for trouble."

Mountain Ghost Granny grinned and then spoke.

Hu Jiuze nodded: "Your move is high indeed. I believe Fox Bachang’s wisdom should lead her in the direction you’ve pointed out."

After returning, Fox Bachang convened the Elder Council of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range. Specifically, she called everyone except the busy Hu Jiusheng and Hu Jiuze, who was accompanying Mountain Ghost Granny.

Before Hu Mei’er, Hu Jiusheng, and Hu Jiuze returned to the Fox Spirit Mountain Range, these people were holding meetings in this way. Now, everyone standing together created some of the atmosphere of those old days.

Hu Siqiong, sitting beside Fox Bachang, frowned slightly, listening to the words Fox Bachang spoke, she kept nodding.

As Fox Bachang finished speaking and looked in her direction, Hu Siqiong grinned: "Indeed, I think, Old Lady Mountain Ghost’s words are very right."

"Fourth Elder, do you really think so? Haven’t we given enough to West Continent City? Is our son-in-law being a bit greedy?"

Another elder, sitting not far behind the main elder, spoke up.

Hu Siqiong glanced at him, then said, "The Tang Family is on the Immortal Mountain Plane. If Tang Ming wanted, he could have been brought to the Immortal Mountain long ago, but he didn’t go. West Continent City is prepared to deal with demons. I think Old Lady Mountain Ghost’s words were already clear enough."

"Yes, I support the Fourth Elder’s words, we can’t put all our eggs in one basket."

Hu Sanqiu nodded then said.

"Alright, you’ve all heard my previous words. I am not here seeking your opinion, but to inform you of my decision."

Fox Bachang’s gaze swept over the people, then spoke.

Her words made the surrounding elders take a deep breath. Fox Bachang rarely decided independently, but when she did, most elders would express support.

Because, Fox Bachang’s independent decisions, though few, always brought about tremendous change for the Fox Spirit Mountain Range.

Eventually, they realized that Fox Bachang’s decisions, despite opposition, didn’t result in the anticipated mishaps, but rather brought great benefits to the Fox Spirit Mountain Range.

"Eighth Elder, please speak, we all support you."

Several elders from Fox Bachang’s faction nodded and then said.

"Mm, then I’ll start with the arrangements. I’ll apply to the City Lord to set up an underground cave mansion beneath West Continent City, assigning our untransformed young ones there. Firstly, they can help the city with some labor. Secondly, it will keep them safer."

"Secondly, the Fox Spirit Mountain Range and Fox Tail Mountain Range will serve as the foundation and barrier protecting the Spirit Tree Plains. In the future, the defenses on the mountain will be guarded by transformed clan members and some stationed troops. We are more familiar with the Fox Spirit Mountain Range, so we should play a guiding role to the stationed troops."

"Third, and most importantly, the grain from the Spirit Tree Mountain Range is extremely crucial. There are potential enemies in the Demon Abyss Sea. The words left by our ancestors must not be forgotten, the greatest enemy of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range comes from the sea."

Fox Bachang’s words sent a chill down the spines of the Demon Fox elders in the meeting room.

From Fox Bachang’s previous explanations and her independent tone, it was evident that the Fox Spirit Mountain Range, where they depended on for survival, might not be as safe as once imagined.
