84: Chapter 84: The Ending of the Clan's Extermination Remains Unchanged

"Oh no, something has happened!"

Bai Jiuxiao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ran towards the Fox Clan.

"Let's go, let's go take a look!"

Long Ze transformed into his true form, carried Feng Yange, and the group headed straight for the Fox Clan.

Inside the peach blossom forest, foxes were scurrying about, being frantically hunted by a group of Cultivators. The miserable screams of the foxes were accompanied by the cunning smiles of the Cultivators after they succeeded.

"Keep one alive!"

Feng Yange leaped forward and happened to encounter several Cultivators surrounding a small fox, not forgetting to let out lewd laughter.

"Sword!"

Feng Yange shouted, and the Cultivator looked up to see Feng Yange, his eyes lighting up. "What a beautiful woman..."

In the next second, Sword pierced through his chest. The Cultivator fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Bai Jiuxiao was frantically searching for his family. Seeing his clansmen lying in pools of blood, he let out a sorrowful roar and attacked the Cultivators assaulting the Fox Clan with his sharp claws. However, his injuries had not yet healed, and he was slashed by a Cultivator at the Spirit Emperor Realm, causing blood to flow freely.

"Little Seven!"

Mo Yuan grabbed Bai Jiuxiao by his fox back and tossed him to the arriving Jun Chen. His purple eyes were filled with chilling murderous intent. With a wave of his hand, that Cultivator was killed without even having a chance to counterattack.

Long Ze was responsible for saving the foxes, while Ling Feng and Xuan Li searched for and killed the attackers to rescue the foxes. Soon, those Cultivators were all killed.

The Sword in Feng Yange's hand slashed across the last Cultivator several times. The man knelt on the ground, his robe soaked with blood. His original greed was now replaced by nothing but fear.

"Who are you all? How did you get into the Spiritual Vein?"

Feng Yange asked coldly. The Cultivator looked down at the jade token at his waist. Feng Yange was quick-witted, flicking the jade token away so it landed in her hand. The Cultivator's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Feng Yange.

"We are all humans, how can you help these lowly foxes?"

Feng Yange applied force with the Sword in her hand, and blood began to ooze from the Cultivator's neck. Terrified, he begged for mercy, "Don't kill me, I don't want to die."

"I can spare you, but you must honestly tell me why you are here, who you people are, and how you got in." Feng Yange tightened her grip, and the Cultivator was so scared that he confessed everything.

"I am a Cultivator from the Eastern Continent. After the Earth Core Secret Realm opened, Cultivators from all continents came. We caught a fox outside and deceived her, and she brought us into the Spiritual Vein."

Feng Yange thought of the people who had been hunting Bai Jiuxiao earlier. No wonder she had discovered so many unfamiliar faces; she hadn't expected so many Cultivators to arrive after the Earth Core Secret Realm opened.

"What is that fox's name?"

Feng Yange pressed him, and the Cultivator quickly pointed behind a stone pile in the distance. "She is over there, her name is Bai Lian."

"Besides you people, how many others know the entrance to the Spiritual Vein?"

"No... no more."

Having received her answer, Feng Yange tied him up, dragged him along, and walked towards the rockery. Sure enough, she saw a red fox hiding in a crevice of the rocks. Feng Yange pulled her out directly, tied her up, and threw her on the ground.

The surviving foxes were placed together, and the foxes hiding in the dark revealed themselves after hearing Bai Jiuxiao's voice. The leader was the Clan Chief of the Fox Clan. He was covered in injuries, and the other members of the Fox Clan also had injuries of varying sizes, but over a dozen foxes had been killed or wounded.

Feng Yange took out a large bottle of spirit spring water and walked to Bai Jiuxiao. Looking at his deep, bone-exposed wounds, she fed him the spirit spring water. The foxes of the Fox Clan showed terrified expressions, looking at Feng Yange with guarded yet expectant eyes.

"A-Ze, give them the spirit spring water to drink." Feng Yange took out several bottles of spirit spring water and handed them over, but the foxes dared not drink, clearly not trusting her.

Bai Jiuxiao jumped down and transformed into human form. His white robe was stained red with blood, and there were bloodstains on his white fox ears. He walked to the Clan Chief and knelt down. "Clan Chief, the clansmen who went out with me were all killed by humans. They are the ones who saved me."

Bai Jiuxiao recounted what had happened outside truthfully. Long Ze took the bodies of the Fox Clan members out of the storage ring. Looking at his deceased clansmen, the Clan Chief's eyes became moist, and his hand gripping his cane trembled slightly.

"This spirit spring water can heal the external wounds of the injured Fox Clan members." Feng Yange looked at the Clan Chief. "This Cultivator confessed that he is from the Eastern Continent. They deceived the fox Bai Lian into bringing them in, which is why this disaster occurred."

Feng Yange kicked the Cultivator, causing him to scream in pain. The Clan Chief stared fixedly at Bai Lian. She transformed into human form, looking delicate and charming, crying uncontrollably. "Father, I'm sorry..."

The Clan Chief leaned on his cane and pounded the ground in pain, his expression full of regret and vexation.

"You caused the deaths of so many clansmen, you... you truly deserve to die!"

Bai Lian cried even more sorrowfully. The Sword in Feng Yange's hand suddenly rested against her neck. "Besides these people, does anyone else know the entrance to the Spiritual Vein?"

Bai Lian's face turned pale; she shook her head, her eyes filled with terror.

"This is a matter for your Fox Clan; deal with it yourselves."

Feng Yange took out medicinal herbs and walked to the side, her face gloomy as she began Alchemy. Long Ze and the others helped the Fox Clan resettle. Bai Jiuxiao's leg bone had broken again, and combined with the heavy blows he had received, his injuries were severe. After recounting what he had encountered outside, he passed out.

"Is she really a human?"

After learning the full story, the Clan Chief executed Bai Lian. Even if she was his daughter, having committed the crime of genocide, she deserved to die.

As for that Cultivator, he was handed over to the Fox Clan to be dealt with; he was undoubtedly going to die.

"Our Mistress is human, but she is a good person. If it weren't for her, the Fox Clan would only have Bai Jiuxiao left today." Long Ze was quite satisfied with this Fox Clan Chief; at least he didn't disregard the overall situation just to protect his daughter.

"Thank you all for your help. This is a small token of gratitude from my Fox Clan. Please accept it on behalf of your Mistress." The Clan Chief handed Long Ze a storage ring containing more than half of his Fox Clan's treasures, but Long Ze refused.

"Wait until my Mistress finishes her Alchemy."

After blowing up the furnace several times, Feng Yange successfully refined the Bone-Knitting Pill and gave it to Bai Jiuxiao. Her face was full of fatigue, and she lifted her eyes to meet Long Ze's worried gaze.

"A-Ze, I want to see the Clan Chief."

"I will take you there." Long Ze could sense that his Mistress was in a very low mood. He walked up to her and scooped her up into his arms. "Mistress, are you worried about the safety of the Fox Clan?"

"I thought that by taking Bai Jiuxiao away, I wouldn't cause the genocide of the Fox Clan, but I never expected that such an incident would still occur. I must remind the Clan Chief to strengthen the Barrier."

The Clan Chief was very grateful to see Feng Yange. "My Lady, thank you for saving my Fox Clan and saving Jiuxiao's life. If it weren't for you, the Fox Clan would likely not have escaped this disaster."

"Clan Chief, you are too polite. Bai Jiuxiao is the husband I have chosen, so this is only right. However, Clan Chief, you need to strengthen the Barrier now. Many people have come to the Earth Core Secret Realm this time."

The Clan Chief quickly agreed and discussed reinforcing the Barrier with Feng Yange, leading the Fox Clan members to work overtime for three consecutive days to modify it.

"Clan Chief, it's bad!"

A Fox Clan member ran in stumbling, shouting in a terrified expression, "More humans have broken in!"
