Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 552: Chapter 438: Honest People Have a Tough Life_2

What the East Profound Grand Competition organized by the Three Great Sacred Lands couldn’t accomplish over a century, the Celestial Fox achieved easily.

Simply because it truly devours people!

"Master Tihu, we can’t let this continue any longer. Just now, another reprimanding Golden Book was issued from the palace, saying the Elders are dissatisfied with your conduct and accuse you of letting the Celestial Fox wreak havoc. They intend to report you to the Holy Master..."

After a flash of sword light, Qin Yi, who was forced to rush to Youze, quickly reported to True Monarch Tihu.

Her speech was rapid, and her expression extremely tense.

She feared death too!

As a direct disciple of the Celestial Saint Palace, and having been informed a few days ago about what kind of existence the ’Celestial Fox’ is, Qin Yi was even more aware of its terrifying nature. Being beside a Longevity True Monarch wouldn’t guarantee her safety.

Yet, she had no choice but to come in person this time.

Because her teacher in the Celestial Saint Palace gave her a death order, telling her that if the Celestial Fox couldn’t be expelled from the Celestial Profound Realm within half a month, the Celestial Saint Palace would dissolve the Nanxuan Alliance, rendering her position as Alliance Leader unnecessary.

Qin Yi couldn’t allow the Nanxuan Alliance to dissolve.

After losing the position of Saintess, the Nanxuan Alliance was her only hope to break through to the Peak Realm. If she lost her position as Alliance Leader, she might not advance past the Nirvana Realm and into the Peak within the next five hundred years.

Five hundred years!

It’s known that past Saintesses of the Celestial Saint Palace reached the Peak Realm before a hundred years old!

"Hm, I understand."

Receiving the Golden Book from Qin Yi, True Monarch Tihu glanced at it, then continued striking the foundation of the Star Palace with his sword, expressionless.

His mood grew increasingly vexed.

That damned Celestial Fox!

How could True Monarch Tihu not know why the creature avoids Jiangzhou? It’s because a ’living Taoist Lord’ resides there now. The Demon Fox has been severely beaten by those Taoist Lords each time it entered the Celestial Profound Realm, instinctively avoiding the area, making Jiangzhou a safety zone.

That detestable junior of the Chen Family!

Relying on the fact that he’s a Star Monarch Taoist Lord, he’s claimed all of Jiangzhou and released the message that Jiangzhou is a ’safety zone’ in the Celestial Fox’s eyes, causing those cultivators above the True Self Realm to hide inside and refuse to come out!

If not for Chen Zhixing spreading the news, given the chaos in the East Continent, many high-tier cultivators would’ve certainly sought protection around him, the Longevity True Monarch, perhaps not needing to establish the Star Palace Array and capturing the Celestial Fox as it feeds!

As for how many high-tier cultivators might die in the process.

As if none are dying now!

True Monarch Tihu no longer wished to think about how many high-tier cultivators have been devoured by the Celestial Fox recently, as recalling the figures made his heart clench painfully.

If this continues, the entire Celestial Profound Realm’s high-tier cultivators might soon be completely devoured!

Of course, it’s not that exaggerated.

The Three Great Sacred Lands and Longevity Families still have some methods to resist the Demon Fox, and as long as they are prepared, activating their Mountain Protection Arrays and hiding, they can ensure their small regions aren’t invaded.

But what about average cultivators outside of these?

Not to mention anything else, but in recent days, figures of overseas loose cultivators have started appearing on the streets of Jiangzhou. Even those who initially opposed the rule of the Sacred Lands and Noble Families have fled to Jiangzhou seeking refuge under threat, illustrating the terror the Celestial Fox brings!

Reflecting on those overseers who let the Celestial Fox in initially.

"Incense Burning Valley deserves death!"

Incense Burning Valley deserves death?

Yes, haven’t they all died out?

Upon suddenly hearing these words from Master Tihu’s mouth, Qin Yi’s expression turned odd.

She had received news seven days ago, with Immortal Ascension Sect’s Longevity True Monarch investigating the realm of Incense Burning Valley, confirming that all the cultivators there had died, leaving no survivors.

However, to those below the True Self Realm, the Celestial Fox doesn’t pose any threat.

So, who eliminated the remaining Incense Burning Valley cultivators?

"Alright, I understand. Return to the Holy Palace and inform the Holy Master. State that the matter of the Celestial Fox is beyond Tihu’s abilities. Expulsion or sealing is impossible in the short term. To complete the sealing, it will take at least three months, and if anyone in the palace is dissatisfied, they can replace me."

Qin Yi: "....."

Master Tihu, you can’t do this!

A cry was suppressed in Qin Yi’s heart. If she reported like that, she feared she would immediately lose the title of Nanxuan Alliance Leader, becoming an ordinary disciple of the Celestial Saint Palace. Even her teacher wouldn’t be able to speak on her behalf!

"Master, does it really...take that long?" A flash of terror crossed Qin Yi’s now pallid face, not wanting to accept this reality.

"Three months is just the best-case scenario. If progress doesn’t go smoothly, it might drag on for a year or two." True Monarch Tihu said without a change in expression.

"..."

"Moreover, until the Celestial Fox is expelled from the Celestial Profound Realm, you disciples above the True Self Realm had better stay within the Sect if you want to avoid death."

"..."

Qin Yi despaired.

After despair, came fear.

Especially upon hearing from Tihu that if the Celestial Fox set its sights on her, even sticking close to Master Tihu wouldn’t save her from being devoured. Apologizing once, she immediately scampered back into Jiangzhou, losing all the courage she had coming here.

Watching Qin Yi leave.

A silhouette of Yimiao appeared slowly beside Tihu.

She glanced at the departing back of Qin Yi with sympathy: "She really is unfortunate."

"That’s her own fault."

Tihu didn’t even turn his head, his engraving work uninterrupted.

True Monarch Yimiao didn’t mind, merely sighed: "My situation back then was similar to hers. My luck was just slightly better, encountering many opportunities and benefactors. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be who I am today."

True Monarch Tihu was made to laugh by her!

True Monarch Yimiao’s words were quite hollow!

"Senior, if you truly feel sorry for Qin Yi, why not give me a hand engraving this Array of Circulation Stars’ foundation? Perhaps, if you move quickly enough, the array could form within seven days, possibly making you her benefactor."

"Engraving an array?" Yimiao blinked, then looked at Tihu as if he were an idiot.

"What, Senior, is there a problem?" Tihu felt a little uneasy under her gaze.

"What do you think?"

"Please, Senior, speak plainly."

"Tihu," perhaps realizing she shouldn’t continue teasing, Yimiao sighed, "Think carefully, how long did it take each time the Celestial Fox was driven away in the past?"

Upon hearing this, Tihu recalled that in the records, the Celestial Fox never stayed for over two months before being expelled from the Celestial Profound Realm.

Suddenly, a hint of shame crossed his face.

"It’s Tihu’s incompetence, not as good as previous seniors."

"..."

Sighing, as if tired of toying with him, Yimiao patted his shoulder:

"Forget it, keep working. I’ll find those two brats from Ziwei at once."

True Monarch Tihu: "...."

In a spacious and well-lighted room, the light of a lamp flickered warmly, creating a comforting warmth that alleviated the surrounding chill.

Two figures were sitting there, one held a scarlet fruit, the other poured fragrant tea.

"I haven’t come here for so many years, but the star tea here is as exceptional as ever," the woman with snow-like hair said, lifting her teacup.

"If Senior Yimiao likes it, you can come often," said Chen Zhixing with a polite smile.\nHis gaze fell on the immortal pot before involuntarily, as he added meaningfully, "Although, this tea is only ordinary."

"活人道主果然深不可测."一妙真君轻摇了摇头道.

"不单单是他,白羽也在,一个不够,还有两个呢,把那些东西交给他们去解决,应该比那醍醐省事吧."

"也是."

醍醐真君停下了自己的动作,看着白羽将切成块的灵果丢入口中,听着祂吐槽道:"要问我说,妖狐吃光高阶修士不是很正常的一件事情吗?换我来做这种事情,长生世家的那些人不也得摒手就擒?"

"持剑者入世,未欺少年."

为再迟上片刻而去送死,她可不愿意,可为了将来她又不得不信任醍醐.

因为她很清楚与其替五百年后的自己抓住未来,不如交易一个自己能安心待在宗门里慢慢沉淀的时间.

最起码这里的护山大阵,是能保她安然无恙的.
