"This brother, I've decided to make friends with!"
Yang Tian patted Deng Jia on the shoulder.
Although Deng Jia was Young Lady Yaoyao's childhood friend, it was obvious that at this moment, Young Lady Yaoyao had not considered Deng Jia as her consort.
But in Deng Jia, Yang Tian saw a straightforward and hearty personality.
This kind of personality made Yang Tian quite fond of him.
"This..."
Deng Jia didn't expect that Yang Tian actually wanted to forge a brotherhood with him.
This made him a bit flustered.
After all, Yang Tian was an existence at the pinnacle of the Nirvana Realm, besides the Earth Evil Elder, only Yang Tian could pass through the Rebirth Demon Array, and most importantly, Yang Tian was a Talisman Master among human cultivators.
Such an existence was definitely terrifying.
But Yang Tian actually wanted to become sworn brothers with him?
"Deng Jia, why don't you quickly call him brother!"
Earth Evil Elder said lightly.
The potential in Yang Tian was naturally seen by the Earth Evil Elder. It's very likely that Yang Tian could truly become the consort of the Fox Princess, so the Earth Evil Elder hoped that Yang Tian and Deng Jia could become friends.
"Yeah, Deng Jia, call him Brother Yang, Brother Yang is really amazing!"
Young Lady Yaoyao also said with a laugh.
"Since that's the case, I won't refuse!" Deng Jia knelt on one knee before Yang Tian and called out, "Brother!"
"Stand up."
Yang Tian helped Deng Jia up.
"Now you three, follow me, I'll take you to meet the other two elders!"
Earth Evil Elder said, then walked forward.
Yang Tian, Young Lady Yaoyao, and Deng Jia were about to follow when suddenly, a powerful light continued to gather around them.
Upon seeing this light, Young Lady Yaoyao's face changed dramatically: "This is the Teleportation Array!"
"Teleportation Array?"
Yang Tian's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Once the Teleportation Array is activated, all Fox Race members will reach the teleport destination in a short time!"
Young Lady Yaoyao quickly said.
"Then why is there also a light from the Teleportation Array on me? I'm not a fox."
Yang Tian asked in confusion.
Indeed, on Yang Tian's body, there was also a glowing circle, with the light inside the covering constantly rotating and boiling.
"That's because on you, Brother Yang, there is Wang Qiang's Fox Spirit Aura. As long as the Teleportation Array is activated, any fox with the Fox Spirit Aura, regardless of their location, will be teleported to the destination!"
Young Lady Yaoyao explained quickly.
"Oh." Yang Tian nodded, then asked, "Do you know who exactly is teleporting us?"
"It's your clan leader!"
Earth Evil Elder suddenly said coldly.
"Is it Granny?"
Young Lady Yaoyao wanted to ask more, but by this time, she had already disappeared into the light.
And Yang Tian also disappeared into the light.
When he saw light ahead, he found himself in a vast ancient forest.
Surrounding him were foxes, young and old, all of the Fox Race.
They seemed to have just been teleported here, each one looking stunned.
"Brother Yang, are you alright?"
Young Lady Yaoyao's inquiry came from beside him.
Yang Tian glanced at Young Lady Yaoyao, said he was fine, and then his gaze was drawn to several men and women outside the Teleportation Array.
There were three men and one woman.
The woman was Chen Na.
And the three men were Wang Jie and the others.
The three men and one woman floated outside the Teleportation Array, it was clear these four were the ones who activated the Teleportation Array.
The entire Fox Race, more than eight hundred foxes, regardless of age or gender, had all been teleported here by Chen Na and the other three.
Young Lady Yaoyao followed Yang Tian's gaze and looked upwards, also seeing Chen Na, Wang Jie, and the others. She called out in surprise: "It's Granny..."
Quickly, the nearby foxes also recognized Young Lady Yaoyao. Hearing her exclamation, they all looked up into the air. When they saw Chen Na and the three others, they asked in confusion: "Aren't those Chen Na and Wang Jie? What are they doing floating outside?"
"They are no longer our companions, on the contrary, they are humans from the outside world!"
Deng Jia spoke up.
"Chen Na is transformed by our clan leader, and Wang Jie and the three others are transformed by experts from the Dark Organization!" Deng Jia quickly raised his voice: "The clan leader has been possessed by a soul named Fierce Celestial King. The Gate of Darkness was opened by this Fierce Celestial King, and all the young members of the clan were taken in and harmed by this Fierce Celestial King!"
"What?!!!"
Instantly, the fox group was in an uproar.
"Deng Jia, are you saying that my son's disappearance is because he entered the Dark Land?"
"Deng Jia, do you mean that we are now inside the Dark Land?"
"Deng Jia, you've been missing for a hundred years, why should we believe you?"
Everyone spoke anxiously.
At this moment, a cold shout rang out from the sky: "Shut up, all of you!"
It was Chen Na!
But at that moment, Chen Na's eyes were filled with Blood Aura; obviously, she was no longer Chen Na.
And a massive Spiritual Breath surged from Chen Na's body, pressuring everyone like a celestial mirror, leaving them breathless.
"Grandmother, please stop..."
Young Lady Yaoyao said anxiously.
"I am not your grandmother, I am the Fierce Celestial King..." Chen Na let out a harsh shout, but at that moment, her body trembled as if something inside was struggling. Then, an urgent voice came from her mouth: "Run, everyone, this is a Corpse Refining Array, the Fierce Celestial King is using our Fox Race's lives to pass through the Death Zone..."
Upon hearing this voice, all the foxes' expressions changed.
This voice was clearly that of their Clan Leader.
"What's going on? Why is the Clan Leader's voice coming from Chen Na?"
"Could it be that Deng Jia was right, the Clan Leader's body is possessed by the Fierce Celestial King?"
"Aren't we in grave danger? The Fierce Celestial King uses the Clan Leader to bring us here, intending to refine corpses?"
As they discussed this, all the foxes turned pale with fear.
"Fierce Celestial King, you may have come to find Wang Lingzhan, but if you dare to use the lives of the Fox Race to refine, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Yang Tian shouted.
Instantly, all the foxes turned to look at Yang Tian.
In the sky, Chen Na also opened her blood-red eyes and glanced at Yang Tian, then said coldly: "Yang Tian, I already knew it was you from the beginning, but you clown have no right to speak to me!"
"He has a tiny bit of right!" Wang Jie suddenly said from the side: "After all, he broke from the mid Fetus Refining Realm to the peak of Nirvana Realm in just one day."
"Really?"
Chen Na frowned.
"Yes, but even at the peak of Nirvana Realm, you're just a piece of meat stuck in my teeth."
Wang Jie sneered.
"What arrogance!"
Yang Tian felt a surge of murderous intent, but he knew that even at the peak of Nirvana Realm, he was no match for Wang Jie. Wang Jie was likely more terrifying than imagined.
"Enough talk!" Chen Na suddenly raised her voice: "I order you to hand over Yang Tian and your princess immediately, and I'll make your death swift. If not, we'll make you live a fate worse than death!"
Immediately, all the foxes erupted: "What should we do now? Even the Clan Leader is under their control, how can we fight them?"
At this moment, an icy voice echoed within the Teleportation Array: "If you don't hand over Yang Tian and Yaoyao, how do you intend to kill my clansmen?"
Upon hearing this voice, Young Lady Yaoyao exclaimed excitedly: "It's Elder Earth Evil, one of the three Great Elders!"
"Elder Earth Evil?"
The foxes, hearing this, instinctively looked up.
They saw an elder floating above the Teleportation Array, none other than Elder Earth Evil.
"I don't care what kind of elder you are, I see your cultivation hasn't come easily either. Leave this place, we only need these foxes to pave the way into the center of the Dark Land. This has nothing to do with you."
Wang Jie glanced at Elder Earth Evil and said flatly.
But Yang Tian heard a trace of respect in Wang Jie's voice.
Yes, Wang Jie showed a hint of respect towards Elder Earth Evil.
This was mutual respect between masters.
"It's you who should leave!" Elder Earth Evil said coldly: "You shouldn't have come here; this is the territory of the Fox Race! Not only did you forcefully invade the Fox Race's forbidden land, but you also massacred my clansmen. Now you intend to refine them all, if I let you succeed, I'm unworthy of being an elder of the Fox Race!"
Wang Jie sneered: "You're wrong, I haven't refined all of you. On the contrary, I'm letting Yang Tian and the Fox Princess come out to find us."
"Outrageous!"
For a moment, Elder Earth Evil was infuriated.
"So, you're not planning to hand over Yang Tian and the Fox Princess? Fine, I'll let you witness our power!"
Wang Jie looked at Yang Tian within the Teleportation Array and suddenly waved his hand.
At that moment, from Chen Na's body, a soul emerged, the soul of the Fierce Celestial King.
Once the Fierce Celestial King's soul appeared, Chen Na's body transformed, reverting to the appearance of the Fox Race Leader.
"Clan Leader..."
Seeing the Fox Race Leader, all the foxes exclaimed excitedly.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault..."
The Fox Race Leader looked at the foxes inside the Teleportation Array with a trembling face.
She wanted to say more, but Yang Tian sensed something and shouted: "Clan Leader, be careful!"
But it was too late.
In the sky, the Fierce Celestial King suddenly opened a gaping maw and spewed a stream of Soul Corpse Fluid, which landed on the Fox Race Leader and ignited rapidly. In no more than moments, her life and soul turned to ashes, scattered in the wind.
"Clan Leader, no!!!"
All the foxes cried out in terror.
But everything had ended.
The Fox Race Leader was directly obliterated by the Fierce Celestial King, his cold laughter echoing through the sky: "Since you refuse to follow our instructions, the death of this old woman is your fate!"
