Chapter 911 - 897: Foxfire

Within the blazing red radiance, a colossal red phantom that blotted out the sky slowly appeared above the Royal City.

It was the massive true body of a Ten-tailed Fox Beastman; its red tail-feathers were as fluffy as a cascading galaxy, every single tail-hair gleaming with a glaze-like flame, breathtakingly beautiful and shockingly terrifying.

He gazed down upon the Beast Tide below; wherever his eyes swept, even the fiercest Demon Beasts could not help but shrink back, their fur standing on end.

His ten fiery red fox tails moved lightly, releasing meteor-like flames that fell with unerring precision onto those Demon Beasts.

"Ah..."

Those Demon Beasts roared in agony, the burning pain unbearable.

No matter what methods they used, it was all useless.

"It’s the True Sun Fire, ah..."

The burning of the True Sun Fire—once it fell upon a Demon Beast, it would be incinerated.

So the Demon Beasts that had just been swarming ferociously and slaughtering Fox Clan Beastmen were all swallowed by the flames.

Su Muyao looked at that gigantic fox-shaped phantom, her Heart String violently trembling. "Linye..."

That was her Linye; Su Muyao’s heart began to race uncontrollably.

She couldn’t control herself and kept staring at that phantom.

But looking more closely, Su Muyao finally realized that Hua Linye’s true body was not quite right.

It was different from his normal state; those flames seemed to be carrying his blood.

"Something’s wrong, his injuries must be very serious, otherwise he wouldn’t use blood to catalyze his Fire Ability."

Under normal circumstances, he only needed to activate his Fire Ability to unleash so many flames.

But right now he was borrowing Power enhanced by his own blood.

"Linye..."

Su Muyao was so anxious she could hardly bear it, but she was in Time Reversal.

No matter how hard she tried, how desperately she struggled, she could not stop Hua Linye.

After those Demon Beasts were blocked, the Red Fox within the phantom transformed into his true body.

His true body

A tall, straight, alluring figure slowly emerged; his red robes snapped in the raging wind, his hair cascading like a waterfall, with an Ice Crystal Jade Hairpin slanted in his hair, the fox-shaped pattern at the tip gleaming with a cold light.

His features were so beautiful they bordered on demonic; his skin fairer than snow, his lips tinged with a cool flush of crimson. Though his face was exquisitely flawless, his entire being was shrouded in a commanding aura that looked down upon the world; every gesture radiated the unique nobility and killing intent of a Fox Clan king.

Especially that overwhelming pressure that descended, suppressing countless Demon Beasts.

In an instant, he saved innumerable Fox Beastmen.

The moment they saw him appear, the Fox Clan Beastmen were incomparably excited.

"The King, it’s our King, our King has appeared."

"Our King truly is here."

"It’s the King who saved us."

The Fox Clan Beastmen felt that with their King here, the Fox Clan would definitely be fine.

But things were far from that simple.

The Forbidden Land’s passage had been opened, or rather, violently torn open, and Demon Beasts were pouring out endlessly.

The number of those Demon Beasts was far too great, not something the Fox Beastmen could handle.

Even if Hua Linye could hold them back.

Hua Linye’s body, at a glance, was clearly severely internally injured.

With the impact of those countless Demon Beasts, no matter how powerful Hua Linye was, it was still not enough.

No one knew how long it lasted, how many days and nights passed.

Within the Fox King City, much blood had been shed: the blood of Demon Beast corpses, and the blood of Fox Beastmen.

There were even traces of Hua Linye’s blood.

Only his blood had all turned into flames, striking down the Demon Beasts with precision.

Later, Hua Linye vaulted to the Forbidden Land’s side and directly severed one tail. At the price of one tail, he released a vast Fire Ability and a gigantic red barrier of light that nearly covered the entire Fox King City.

"Linye..."

Su Muyao cried out this name in anguish.

Even knowing he could not hear her, she still couldn’t help calling.

Her eyes reddened, tears welling in her sockets.

She knew Hua Linye had sacrificed the Power of his tenth fox tail to resolve these Demon Beasts.

Once the red light shrouded everything, Su Muyao could scarcely see what was happening inside.

When everything finally returned to calm, the few Fox Beastmen remaining in Fox King City were gone.

The entire Royal City had become an empty city.

The passage gate of that Forbidden Land had been closed again.

The Demon Beasts were completely sealed inside.

They could never come out again.

Hua Linye’s figure, naturally, also vanished.

What state he was in now, Su Muyao had no idea at all.

Su Muyao poured all her spiritual power into Time Reversal, then headed toward that Fox Clan Forbidden Land.

There she saw a door sealed by Restriction, like a Boundary Stele, blocking the Demon Beasts from entering.

At the same time, the entire Fox King City had been hidden away.

Foreign Beastmen could not find this place either.

So the other Beastmen only knew that the Fox Clan had disappeared, but did not know what exactly had happened here.

Nor did they know what the Fox Clan Beastmen had done to protect this land.

...

When Su Muyao returned from the Time Reversal scene, her face turned pale and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Mother, Mother, what’s wrong with you?"

Da Bao was terrified at the sight of Su Muyao in this state.

Su Muyao wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and said, "It’s fine, I just overused my spiritual power."

The scenes she had witnessed in Time Reversal, Su Muyao did not dare tell Da Bao, for fear he would worry if he knew.

"Mother, hurry and take an elixir."

Su Muyao gave a small smile. "Alright."

She took an elixir out from her Space Bracelet and put it into her mouth.

Once she swallowed it, her complexion improved greatly.

These were elixirs she had prepared before setting out, precisely for critical moments like this.

All the medicinal herbs had been gathered by people Xuan Che sent.

And along the way, whenever she saw useful herbs in the mountains and forests, Su Muyao had also collected them.

When resting, she would refine some medicine as well.

"I’m fine now, don’t worry."

Su Muyao reached out to gently smooth Da Bao’s hair; looking at Da Bao’s features, it was as if she could see Hua Linye through him.

She missed him so terribly, and worried about him just as much.

But that endless longing and worry, she could only press down hard in her heart, not allowing Da Bao to notice anything.

After resting a little, Su Muyao took Da Bao to the Fox Clan’s Forbidden Land.

Upon reaching the Fox Clan Forbidden Land, Su Muyao and Da Bao stood before the rear mountain grounds that had been burned by flames, both falling silent.

Just looking at this scene, they knew what had happened here.

There was still a lot of blood.

Even thicker than in Fox King City, the blood of Fox Beastmen and the blood of Demon Beasts mixed together, making the very air feel oppressively heavy.

"We must kill all the Demon Beasts."

Right now, Su Muyao’s heart was filled with boundless hatred for the Demon Beasts.

Da Bao’s expression was equally resolute, his beautiful fox eyes flickering with flames of anger.

"There should be a sealed Boundary Stele here. We can enter inside, but the Beastmen and even the Demon Beasts within cannot come through it into this place."

"Search and see where it is."

In Time Reversal, she had seen it.

Da Bao activated the Fire Ability within his body, and at once he sensed a bloodline-connected aura.

He said excitedly, "Mother, I can feel Father’s Power—under that tree, the Boundary Stele."

"Come, let’s go take a look."
