"A White Teeth Comb, a Jade Bone Table, a set of golden thread clothes."
"Oh, it’s that. Where is your home?"
The fox head suddenly closed its mouth and did not answer.
Tie Dan’s eyes flashed with a blood-red light, and it seemed as if invisible hands forcibly pried the fox’s mouth open. The fox’s mouth spewed fresh blood, blood tears flowed from its eyes, and it wailed miserably,
"Under a locust tree fifty miles northwest from here!"
After saying this, the fox head vomited several liters of blood, gasped, and died.
Tie Dan didn’t say another word, pinched the formula, flew into the sky, and stirred up a violent wind, rushing fifty miles straight. Sure enough, he saw a forest, with Demon Qi swirling and Death Qi soaring to the heavens.
From afar in the forest, he saw a large locust tree, so Tie Dan landed and looked around at the Feng Shui, seeing the layout of a tomb, and with spiritual breath gathering, he knew there was a tomb under the tree, with a fox inside. Without wasting words, he stomped his foot, shouted,
Then a group of foxes crawled out from the tree hole, kneeling on the ground like humans to worship him. The leading white fox spoke in human language,
"We did not know the Immortal Master’s arrival, what instructions do you have."
"Here to give you your dowry."
Tie Dan took out the Jade Bone Table from his sleeve and tossed it to them.
The demons, seeing this, were overjoyed and expressed their thanks, vying to kowtow.
The white fox hastily said,
"Too heavy, this gift is too heavy! Such great grace is beyond repayment, how can we repay such an Immortal Fate?"
"Three months ago, someone massacred the nearby Mystic Sect, who did it?"
The white fox hesitated for a moment,
"Perhaps the Demon Sect did it."
"I guess you don’t know where they went, do you?"
The white fox kowtowed,
"Immortal Master, have mercy, we are merely unformed mountain spirits, how dare we spy on the side, coveting the Immortal’s magic battles. We only vaguely saw the mountain filled with Thunder Fire, blood rain pouring, the fight lasting seven days and nights before stopping."
"You all have not formed yet, what about your young lady? Wasn’t she in the temple then? What did she do? Maybe she saw something, call her out."
The white fox was startled, crouching on the ground, not daring to lift its head.
Tie Dan sneered, taking out the White Teeth Comb,
"Call her out, wasn’t she coveting these treasures of mine? Here, specially delivered to her. Come, come and take them."
The white fox trembled all over, closed its mouth, and said nothing.
Tie Dan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Getting married...truly getting married?"
The white fox suddenly roared in anger,
In the next instant, sword energy surged like the wind, the fox heads fell to the ground, and in a thought, the entire brood of foxes was killed.
Tie Dan took a step, traveled through the earth, directly stepping into the tomb, entering the Yin residence where the fox demons gathered.
But he was still a step slow, as that group of foxes had blocked him for a while, the ’young lady’ had already traveled through the earth and escaped without a trace, leaving only a secluded fragrance filling the bridal chamber, with red candles lit, pretending to be a bridal room.
Tie Dan was not in a hurry to chase, he flipped the long sword on the bed, lifted the quilt, and took a look.
Sure enough, the groom was here.
This was clearly a Mystic Sect disciple who lodged at the Jungle Temple, but had his limbs severed, skinned, and turned into a cripple.
According to the scene in Xingxuan Temple, this person should have been thrown in front of the Xuan Nu Statue and bled to death.
It’s just that Tie Dan, upon entering the temple just now, found that the corpses had been dragged out of the main hall, deliberately torn apart, and piled into a Jingguan-style, not quite matching the usual style of the Divine Sect.
Moreover, counting carefully, the number of heads in the Jingguan didn’t match the number of hands and feet in the courtyard.
Now, seeing the fox tomb, Tie Dan understood. Obviously, there were three or four people in the Jungle Temple who, though harmed by the Divine Sect, were not dead at the time. They were secretly picked up by this group of foxes and made into grooms, becoming vessels for Energy Replenishment.
Just like the one on the bed, all Primordial Yang Essence Blood, life energy Cultivation, were completely sucked dry by that demon, until oil ran out and the lamp was extinguished, leaving only a skeleton, bones, and a shell. Once no energy remained, they were given to the little foxes to gnaw on.
No wonder that demon wanted the Xiaoyao Sect’s magic treasure in his hand, concentrated with Death Qi, to cultivate with, balancing Yin Yang, alive and dead. I suspect the Energy Replenishment method she acquired, along with these grooms, was also a reward for serving as traitors to the Divine Sect.
Merit is rewarded, fault is punished.
"You’re right, demons will ultimately remain demons. If they’ve bitten humans, they cannot remain."
So Tie Dan sliced the skeleton on the bed with a sword, assisting that brother in Soldier Disintegration, set a fire, and burned the demon nest under the locust tree to ashes. Then he followed the fox’s scent and pursued to the north.
