At the hunting grounds, only the nobles of the Tiger Clan were permitted to enter. Those who were not from the demon race—unless they had received an invitation, held significant positions, or made substantial contributions—were also excluded. Not a single human cultivator was in attendance. Nor was there any adversary of the Tiger Clan present.
Yet, Lin Shuang, seated inside Rongbaozhai, had already identified a spy hidden among the demon clans—the Tiger Clan’s crown prince!
She calmly flipped through a fox fur while watching the footage of the prince’s exposure in today’s *Yao News* broadcast, then sent a message.
“He’s been caught.”
“The rest is up to you.”
“Understood.”
Huangpu Yuan’s voice came through the communication stone.
Almost as soon as her communication ended, the live broadcast of the hunting grounds reached its climax.
The group of minor demons surrounding the prince instantly took a step back.
Zong Xing, She Qiong, and Yuan Ya all had their pupils dilate in shock.
“Tianji, the Tianji Order!?”
“Prince, are you a heretical cultivator!?”
The Tiger Prince was stunned.
Even the Tiger King was momentarily taken aback.
The Tianji Order was a human cultivator organization, its origins rooted entirely in human territory.
For such a heretical sect to establish a foothold within the demonic realm, they had to pay exorbitant passage fees and traverse treacherous mountains and rivers.
Their large-scale infiltration into the demon territory had only gradually begun in the past decade, and their initial scale was not significant.
Therefore, the demon race’s comprehension of the Tianji Order had never been as profound as that of the human sects.
Despite the recent spate of mysterious disappearances, many clans had not linked these crimes to the heretics of the Tianji Order.
But now, everything was different!
The launch of *”Immortality Begins with Qi Cultivation”* not only vividly presented the landscapes and cultures of various human and demon clans but also revealed the sinister plots of the heretical Tianji Order to players.
From the very start of the game, players were captured, bullied, and killed by the Tianji Order.
By the mid-game, once players had gained some strength, they embarked on quests to resist and capture the heretics.
They had memorized every detail about these evil cultivators.
Now, seeing a black token—engraved with the words “Tianji,” exuding a sinister, ghostly aura—fall to the ground like in the game, and witnessing the panic and pallor on the Tiger Prince’s face, all the “players” at the hunting grounds understood!
The game had truly reflected reality!
“The prince is a heretic! He’s part of the Tianji Order!”
“Isn’t the Tianji Order a heretical group from the human realm!?”
“That’s the one—the one abducting our demon children!”
“Tianji Order! Arrest the prince! Arrest him!”
The Tiger Prince’s face turned deathly pale.
He never expected to be exposed so completely.
“No, it’s a misunderstanding… I don’t know anything! I don’t know what that evil object is!”
The Tiger Prince tried to defend himself.
“Silence! Cease the city-wide projection of today’s demon news broadcast at once!”
The Tiger King slammed his palm onto the armrest of his throne, shattering half of it!
He glared furiously, “I don’t even know what the Tianji Order is! Prince, you tell me!”
The Tiger Prince’s eyes darted around craftily.
“This was just a token given to me by an old human healer I saved. He told me to wear it as a protective talisman.”
“What heretic? What abductions? I know nothing about any of that.”
“Could it have been that old man who did all this?”
The expressions of She Qiong and the others darkened.
If they hadn’t played the game, they might have believed the prince’s excuses.
But the game had told them everything—sudden power surges and drastic personality changes. All of it matched the prince perfectly.
The Tiger Prince took a step back. Finally, he realized that the game he had been so addicted to had issues.
But soon, he turned to his father with a desperate look.
“I’m innocent! I know nothing! Father, please believe me!”
“This matter will be discussed back at the palace!”
The Tiger King narrowed his eyes and extended his hand.
“Hand over that Tianji token!”
A faint, restrained smile flickered across the Tiger Prince’s face.
She Qiong and others couldn’t help but clench their teeth.
Was this what the game had warned them about?
Heretics were cunning, infiltrating the ranks of the powerful and protected by them.
When the lower beings tried to expose them, they were oppressed by the higher-ups.
The heretics had their protectors!
As the ironclad Tianji token was handed to the Tiger King and the prince stepped into the ranks of the royal guards, separating himself from the other clans, She Qiong and others could only inhale helplessly.
Clearly, they couldn’t force the prince to confess today.
The Tiger King was determined to take the prince away.
[This!]
[It’s over—there’s something wrong with the Tiger King too!]
[The Tianji Order actually has the entire demon realm under its control…]
[Is it really going to end like this?]
[Didn’t the previous Nine-Tailed Fox King go mad, and then the Tiger King took over? Could he have already colluded with the Tianji Order back then?]
[It’s not impossible! Logically, even if the Fox King died, the Fox Clan should have had a late-stage cultivator to inherit the title of Demon King.]
At that time, the Fox Clan’s Elder was said to have been slain by the corrupted Nine-Tailed Fox. The Tiger King participated in the suppression campaign, claiming to restore order, and later assumed the position of the new Demon King, as recorded in the *Demon Classic* compiled by the Hundred Flowers Sect. In the subsequent years, the Tiger King intensified his control over various clans, but after seizing power, he accomplished nothing of significance.
[Search the Tiger King’s body! Maybe he has a Tianji token too!]
The disciples from the Twelve Sects flooded the chat with speculation.
The discussion grew increasingly heated and passionate.
Just as the truth about the Tianji Order’s crimes in the demon territory was about to be exposed, the Tiger King intervened.
Within Tiger City’s borders, no one could defy the one seated on the throne.
Otherwise, they would be instantly annihilated by the five thousand Tiger royal guards.
This overwhelming tyranny drowned out the truth right before their eyes.
Knowing the enemy was evil, yet powerless to resist.
[This generation of demons is… beyond redemption.]
[It’s like all the sect leaders of the Twelve Sects are in cahoots with the Tianji Order… the entire Tiger City is doomed…]
“Senior sister! What should we do? Should we release a new game update to tell the players what to do?”
Zhao Keran was getting anxious, watching the live broadcast from the first floor of Rongbaozhai.
But Lin Shuang remained cross-legged, glancing at the screen before closing her eyes.
“Fool, games are just games. How can they solve real-world problems?”
Zhao Keran was taken aback.
[Can’t we? Lin Shuang, I don’t believe it! You can do it!]
[Nonsense! Look at what your game has done to the demon world…]
“It can only provide players with existing information. Real-world issues must be resolved by the players themselves.”
“If they can’t do it… then it’s time for him to step in.”
[!]
Lin Shuang pressed the communication stone in her hand.
She had already said it in her message.
For this task plan, she would handle the first half, and he would take over the second half.
This had been their prior agreement.
Zhen Chuanjiu, the three of them working together, each contributing their strength.
Lin Shuang smiled as she looked at the hunting scene broadcast still playing in Rongbaozhai. It should have ended when the Tiger King gave the order, yet it continued to air city-wide.
Just as they trusted her.
At this moment, she trusted him too.
Alright, it’s your turn now, Da Bao.
As Lin Shuang pressed the communication stone and Xiaoa counted down the rest period in one incense stick’s time, the live broadcast of the hunting grounds suddenly shifted.
The scenes that unfolded were countless—far more terrifying than in the game—depicting young demons going missing, families frantically searching to no avail, and the Tiger City authorities turning a blind eye.
Then, squads of wolf-dogs, foxes, deep-sea tribes, and human disciples launched a joint search across the southern outskirts.
[!]
The day turned into night. The wolf-dogs and human disciples were exhausted, but at last, young demons were discovered in the heretics’ hideouts!
Their fur was dull, scales peeled off, and some bore gaping wounds… and worse, unknown bones were carelessly discarded in bushes, lying in the cold, damp darkness.
“Hatred born from pain—higher talent means greater nourishment for our cultivation…”
“Scream in agony!”
The camera focused on a black-robed figure, his face twisted in a sinister grin.
In the broadcast, the dying young creatures could barely be distinguished by species. They were roughly stuffed into woven baskets, piled together, their tails and ears indistinguishable… blood seeped from the baskets, trickling onto the wooden boards…
Creak, creak—the wheels of a cart rolled over the soil, blooming with blood flowers.
Amidst the wails of countless young demons…
“What is this?”
“They found the missing children!”
(Note: The character “妖” appears to be an unintended typo in the original Chinese text, as it doesn’t form a coherent word with “children” in this context. The translation assumes it was meant to say “missing children.” If “妖” was intended to convey a specific meaning like “supernatural” or “bewitched,” please provide clarification for accurate translation.)
“Heaven…”
At Rongbaozhai, everyone watching the news broadcast was stunned.
Lin Shuang, on the first floor, watched the projection of the evil cultivation hideout being inserted into the Tiger King’s hunting broadcast and also furrowed her brow.
On the second floor, game “players” removed their headsets, staring at the horrifying scenes.
Outside Rongbaozhai, at the Hundred Flowers Sect’s novel shop, in the human cultivation technique stores, and along the entire human cultivation street—every demon in Tiger City who had been forced to watch the Tiger King’s hunting speech—had their chests heaving and eyes burning with fury.
“Another sixteen young snake demons have gone missing recently…”
“Nearly eight bear disappearances…”
“The children of the lion and leopard tribes have also begun to disappear…”
The voice resembled that of a narrator, accompanying the unbearable sight of young demons being tortured before being callously tossed like cargo onto wooden carts.
No one knew where they were being taken.
Pain and hatred fueling cultivation advancement?
“Dare you humans!”
“Damn it! Humans! We bears will never forgive you!”
Inside and outside Rongbaozhai, along the Human Cultivation Street, demons roared into the sky!
But soon, their voices fell silent.
Where were these humans…
The trucks in the footage were heading straight to the four gates of the Tiger City.
Guards and royal soldiers personally took charge, transporting them into the city.
The audience watching the water screen was stunned into silence.
Several voices—sounding like narrators, news anchors, or even tribal elders—spoke.
“Disappearance cases have reached over a hundred. Just last month in Tiger City alone, there were this many.”
“I reported to the Tiger King, requesting soldiers to search, but the Tiger King said the Deep Sea Clan was stirring and refused to weaken Tiger City’s defenses at such a time.”
“Many wolf-dog demons vanished, and the Tiger King kept stalling… Now it’s the bears’ turn, and I’ve pleaded with the Tiger King again and again…”
“We’ve searched the entire snake territory… but couldn’t find the missing children…”
The demon watching the demon news could barely breathe.
The children were being transported into the city by Tiger soldiers!
The one refusing to investigate, making endless excuses, was the Tiger King!
The one who dropped the suspected evil cultivation token was the Tiger King’s own son!
The broadcast didn’t give them a moment to breathe. Before they could even process it, the scene returned to the Tiger King’s hunting grounds.
The Tiger King appeared utterly oblivious to the inserted scenes of “tragedy” and “discovered hideouts.” Disregarding the protests of the other demons, he picked up the Tianji token dropped by the prince and hastily boarded the royal chariot drawn by eight spirit horses, speeding back to the palace.
Silence spread quietly through every demon’s home and shop as they watched Demon News.
A suffocating gaze silently passed between the demons.
Rebellion, dissent, or opposition to the Tiger King—if caught within the city—would result in public execution at the city gates, bringing shame to one’s clan…
Who could, who dared, who was capable of confronting the Tiger King and seeking justice for the myriad demons?!
No one.
Anger, yet forced restraint.
The old demon’s eyes flickered with weary nostalgia. They hadn’t always been like this.
In the era of the previous Demon King—the Nine-Tailed Fox…
“Wait a second!”
As the demon remained silent, a new generation emerged on the hunting grounds!
Amid the silent crowd, a young demon stepped out before the Tiger King, who stood at the peak of the Tribulation stage.
Despite the warning glance from She Qiong, the daughter of the Silver King of the Snake Domain, Yuan Ya, and the subtle hints from Zong Xing’s father, many young demons stepped forward at the hunting grounds.
Their hearts trembled, but their voices rang firm.
“Tiger King, this matter is far from over! The disappearance of so many demon children demands an explanation to everyone!”
“Investigate the connection between the prince, the Tianji token, and the disappearances!”
Yuan Ya, her eyes red, trembling but lifting her head.
“Let the prince be investigated!”
She Qiong, Zong Xing, and many other young demons voiced their demands together.
In the game, they wanted to be heroes.
But they were always blocked at the final heretic task—the game wasn’t just a test of wisdom and cultivation, but also of courage and determination.
If no one stepped forward, the truth would remain buried forever.
Just like in their game’s “beginner village,” the old human healer who saved them in their weakest days.
If the powerful refused to help, the weak would only meet tragic ends.
“We demand that Bear City, Snake Domain, and the General’s Mansion be allowed to participate in the investigation of the prince!” the young demons raised their voices bravely.
At least, they were stronger than those who had disappeared!
The Tiger King, already rising into the air, was nearly furious, his Tribulation aura fully unleashed.
“You don’t need to tell me—I will investigate myself!”
Several Tribulation-level royal guards beside him immediately struck, suppressing Yuan Ya and the others!
“I will not spare a single one of today’s troublemakers!”
She Qiong couldn’t suppress his anger.
But just as Zong Xing was about to rush forward, his father, the Bear King, suddenly stepped out.
As a distant bear soldier ran toward them, he loudly declared to the royal chariot, “Tiger King, we have found the culprit behind the disappearances!”
Almost like lightning splitting the sky, a fluffy, massive snow-white tail with red curls tore through the horizon!
With a thick, long tail, he flung a figure in black robes into the Tiger King’s chariot!
“Prince, do you recognize this person!”
The Tiger Prince’s face turned pale in an instant, already stepping back.
But several Tiger King’s elite guards around the royal carriage, like scavengers erasing all traces, instantly reduced the black-robed figure to pulp!
The crown prince immediately relaxed and sat back down boldly.
Yet the tip of a red-tailed fox, amidst the snow, dragged through the air. On its right hind leg, a small tuft of fur held a strange, seemingly incomplete yellow talisman.
In an instant, the talisman ignited at the tip of its tail.
“Senior apprentice sister, what kind of talisman is this? It looks familiar, like I’ve seen it somewhere before.”
“It even resembles those incomplete talismans you usually draw…”
Zhao Keran, while watching today’s “Yao Wen” on the first floor of Rongbaozhai, couldn’t help but speak up.
But just after she finished speaking, she was startled to find—Lin Shuang had vanished!
Lin Shuang smiled faintly, patting the air beside Zhao Keran, “Right, it’s an unfinished teleportation talisman I drew.”
“!”
[…]
[???]
“It can teleport three streets away.”
[…]
During her Ningyuan cultivation, she had secretly learned teleportation talismans that could only cover the distance of one street.
Now, having reached the stage of refining the spirit, its effect had improved.
Three streets—was already sufficient.
Lin Shuang almost instantly transformed into water and disappeared from Rongbaozhai.
She reappeared outside the Tiger City Hunting Grounds, three streets away.
Teleportation was forbidden here, yet this area had been torn open from the void by this enormous tail.
The black-robed figure was thrown into the royal carriage, drawing most of the Tiger King’s elite guards’ attention.
In the next moment, Lin Shuang tightly clung to this fluffy fur from a dizzying height.
Her body slid down like on a slide, all the way from its strong, muscular thigh.
“Gosh, I wish I had drawn the talisman a bit higher.”
[!]
[…]
[Could this be the half-day teleportation array she inserted while braiding Erbao’s fur when she arrived at Tiger City that day?]
[She colored it so vividly just to hide a teleportation talisman on its fur?!]
[Wait… Did Erbao just speak…?!]
Lin Shuang grabbed the fluffy tail with one hand, and while it was moving rapidly, she drew several more teleportation talismans in midair.
Instantly, half-dead, battered black-robed figures began falling from the void!
All the demons watching today’s demon news felt that these black-robed figures looked familiar.
—They were exactly the evil cultivators who had appeared at various child-abuse locations earlier!
And now, one by one, they fell from the talismans Lin Shuang drew midair.
One fell—killed by the Tiger King’s elite guards. Another fell—killed again!
“Dare you intrude the hunting grounds? Die!”
“Capture them!”
An attack surged toward the tail and person.
But Lin Shuang, gripping the tail fur with one hand, quickly transformed into water!
The rapidly moving massive tail seemed to sway in clear spring water… In an instant, it accelerated, then vanished into the void again!
[White fur floating on green water!?]
[Isn’t this the cultivation technique Huangpu Yuan learned at the 6000th layer!?]
[What, this fur belongs to Huangpu Yuan! Is he a dog?]
[He’s Erbao?!]
“White fur floating on green water,” a mid-tier cultivation technique emphasizing acceleration.
Combined with Lin Shuang’s water transformation, the white fur floated as if gliding effortlessly through water… drifting invisibly through the air.
Appearing from the void at times, disappearing into it at others!
Torrential rain poured mercilessly from the sky.
In an instant, the entire hunting ground was drenched, and all the demons were caught in the downpour.
“Roar—”
The Tiger King’s peak tribulation roar swiftly alerted his elite guards, who immediately locked onto the tail and the figure in midair.
Yet in the blink of an eye,
That tail, wandering through the lake water, dragged a terrified, trembling figure.
“Don’t attack! It’s me!”
“Father, save me!”
The tiger clan’s prince, drenched like a drowned chicken, was soon ensnared by several thick red-tinted snow-white fur strands digging into his skin.
His neck was bleeding from the tail’s grip!
Tiger King: “?”
She Gan, Zong Xing, Yuan Ya: “…!”
Tiger clan guards: “..??”
[…]
[Dragon-siphoning water sword… picking up dropped spirit pouches while fighting monsters… Lin Shuang’s signature move.]
[This…]
[Have you seen enough now?]
The Tiger King, a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm, fell silent.
He looked up at the void, frowning deeply, “Let him go, and I’ll spare your lives.”
But in the next moment, a triggered talisman was sent to another black-robed evil cultivator teleported in.
Instantly,
The delicate fox face half-hidden in the void turned, revealing a pair of crimson fox eyes.
Soul search.
The deepest memories in the evil cultivator’s consciousness appeared before everyone like a water screen.
The Tiger King narrowed his eyes, “Fine, proceed! If this person truly has any connection with my son, I will give the Demon Realm an explanation. If not, none of you will leave here today!”
“Yes, it really has nothing to do with me. I just happened to get this wooden tablet from an old man…”
Though bound, the tiger prince couldn’t help but smile.
He wasn’t that foolish. In his previous dealings with the evil cultivators of Tianji, he had always concealed his identity.
Even the lower ranks of Tianji were unaware that he was the Tiger Prince, and no one had ever laid eyes on his true face!
But halfway through his sentence, he was chilled by Lin Shuang’s smiling gaze from atop the fox.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fur around his neck tightened!
The tail floated toward the black-robed evil cultivator.
In an instant, the soul-searching scene showed him!
‘Fool, don’t ask how I manage to move them. Just deliver the people to the nearest city gate!’
‘Someone will come to pick you up.’
The concealed tribute teleportation array was so well-hidden that no demon would ever suspect its location lay directly beneath the central palace of Tiger City.
They all believed that the more remote and secluded the place, the more suitable it was for concealing crimes.
Yet, they exploited precisely this psychological assumption.
The real tribute teleportation array was built beneath the Tiger King’s sleeping quarters.
‘This batch is urgent. The Venerable One said to make the Tiger King act quickly!’
The memory scene from the evil cultivator clearly echoed in the water screen.
Their conversation at the time also played.
The prince, hanging in midair, struggled in terror, “Lies, all lies! How could it be Father?”
All the demons present were stunned.
The Tiger King’s fingers crackled menacingly as he was about to stand, when the water screen shifted again.
In this evil cultivator’s memory scene, his conversation partner was clearly the figure hiding behind the screen. That figure had mismatched tiger ears, a slightly thin frame… almost identical to the hanging prince’s tiger ear outline and back silhouette!
Lin Shuang, gripping the fur, raised her eyebrows.
‘You and I have a connection’ talisman.
—Even the minutest forgotten memory details would resurface under the effect of this nearly fifth-tier talisman.
—Similar appearance, past suspicions, all became vivid and intense upon seeing you.
“It’s the prince!”
“It’s really the prince!”
“What, the Tiger King is also… an accomplice?”
A golden long spear pierced through the air in an instant, impaling the tiger prince’s heart!
Before the prince could utter a word, his eyes widened in shock as he stared at the Tiger King seated on the royal carriage—his own father, the ruthless and decisive ruler of all demonkind.
“I, Hu Qian, have no such traitorous son who associates with evil cultivators!”
“You are a disgrace to the tiger clan and a shame to all demons!”
In an instant, the Tiger King leapt into the air.
Esteemed elders of all clans, my Tiger Clan shall provide an explanation to all! Today, I shall use the corpse of my treacherous son to appease the wrath of the Ten Thousand Demons!
A tiger’s poison won’t harm its own cub.
False.
Beneath the massive tail, the tiger prince looked down at the spear piercing his chest, his eyes dazed, his consciousness drifting, soon losing awareness, yet wanting to laugh…
When personal interests conflict, anything can be abandoned—even one’s own child.
Compared to the throne of the Demon King, what was the life of a mere prince…
He closed his eyes, his consciousness fading.
But a peach branch entered his final glimpse of light.
Lin Shuang’s clear, soft whisper reached him in his last moment before returning to darkness.
“Do you regret?”
“I can give you another incense stick’s time.”
An incense stick’s time?
Hu Rong’s eyelids were already struggling to close.
But he smelled the floral fragrance, and heard her gentle yet firm whisper.
“Huangpu Yuan—merge consciousness!”
Hu Rong: “?”
“Four Seasons Spring.”
“Return.”
Before setting off, she borrowed a peach branch from her senior sister Li Hua, unfolding it layer by layer.
Petals drifting, becoming a towering tree!
Hu Rong’s fading breath instantly seemed to freeze in time, pausing at the brink of his last gasp.
Hu Rong: “!”
He quickly looked up, didn’t speak, but grasped the last talisman she had slipped into his hand.
“You and I have a connection.”
Hu Rong: “!!”
As the talisman activated, he pressed his hand against the golden spear of patricidal tiger poison piercing his chest. Instantly, past scenes with his most trusted father flashed by in fast-forward.
Appearing on the water screen.
“What are you waiting for! Let him, a remnant evil cultivator, continue to deceive the masses!”
The Tiger King roared loudly.
His elite guards charged toward the water screen and Hu Rong’s lingering soul.
Seemingly about to destroy his final image!
Lin Shuang raised her eyebrows, gripping the tail fur with one hand, climbing onto the sturdy fox back.
She patted it.
“Here come the Tribulation Realm cultivators, huh.”
[…]
[We’re done for.]
At her peak, Lin Shuang was approaching the fifth layer of Refining Spirit.
Huangpu Yuan at full strength is capable of killing a Void Realm cultivator, but unable to confront a Tribulation Realm cultivator head-on.
They were still in their growth phase, not yet having enough time.
Yet, the fox’s black eyes calmly turned, fixedly gazing at the ground.
No fear, no panic—only steady determination.
Just as the Tiger King’s guards were closing in, suddenly the hunting ground’s surface surged with spiritual energy—a swarm of snow silkworms burst from the earth!
Each snow silkworm carried a cultivator from the Tribulation Realm.
White elder of the clam clan;
Fox clan elder;
Dog and wolf clan elders;
Sea clan elder;
…
Annihilation Pavilion’s Realm of Tribulation
[Zhao family’s silkworm cocoons!]
Indeed, these demon clan elders and human cultivators all charged toward the Tiger King’s elite guards, each blocking a Tribulation Realm expert!
“Reckless! Sea clan, dog clan, human cultivators! Who allowed you to intrude here!”
The Tiger King roared in fury.
But aside from his personal guards, the elder cultivators of the lion and leopard clans didn’t step forward to defend him.
Their expressions were complex.
—Serving a king is like living beside a tiger.
—Those who support the king are feared and eventually meet grim fates.
—The Tiger King has always been tyrannical, even sending spies among them.
Novel plots, human historical records, and recent discoveries of Tiger King’s hidden agents…
The lion and leopard elders hesitated.
“With so many cubs missing, even Hu Rong getting involved in dark cultivation affairs—Tiger King, why not conduct a thorough investigation! The innocent have nothing to fear!”
They solemnly looked at the Tiger King.
Bear and snake clan elders at the hunting site also spoke!
“Tiger King, what are you afraid of! Can’t you wait even an incense stick’s time?!”
Instantly blocked, the Tiger King glared furiously at them.
“Second brother, third brother, fourth sister…!”
He called to his close relatives, but none moved.
General Wei Zhen, the Tiger King’s eighth younger brother, looked down at his own feet.
“Brother, it’s better to investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, our Tiger Clan won’t be able to explain to the Ten Thousand Demons.”
These days, he had recommended this cultivation game to his elder siblings, especially the general and prime minister routes.
Our eldest brother isn’t a good leader.
If this continues, eventually, the entire tiger clan will fall.
And brother had even directed killing intent toward Yuan Ya.
Wei Zhen didn’t move, neither did the other siblings.
The Tiger King glared.
Although he had more allies in this realm, none were willing to assist him!
His fierce, tyrannical gaze swept over each of them.
[The novels and games worked…]
[Scary.]
No demon could ever halt Hu Rong’s soul memories from before death!
His memory finally appeared before all the demons.
From childhood closeness between father and son, to hunting together as he grew older…
Only a real parent and child would have such authentic details, proving Hu Rong’s memories were genuine.
But soon, the warm scenes changed.
“Dad, are we really going to collaborate with those human demonic cultivators? Will the Celestial Secret successfully corrupt the Nine-Tailed Fox King? What if it fails? The Demon King will never forgive us!”
All the demons stared wide-eyed.
Wei Zhen and other younger brothers of the Tiger King were stunned.
“I don’t think this is a good idea. Father, who knows what schemes the Tianji have in store… What if they don’t support you as the new king but instead seek to control us, father and son…”
“We won’t lose anything.”
Hu Rong’s final profound memory settled on the past he now most regretted and wished to change.
His biological father, Hu Qian’s smile at that time, and every word he spoke back then, remained crystal clear in his memory.
Remembered vividly to this day.
“We received cultivation techniques bestowed by Elder Tianji. Our cultivation skills have soared, soon becoming the finest among lions and tigers. Could things possibly be worse than they are now?”
“But if other demons find out…”
“There’s no ‘if.’ Most members of Tianji don’t even know who we are. Remember, never reveal your true identity in front of them.”
Silence fell over the crowd.
All the demon clans and guards turned their astonished gazes toward the Tiger King.
Shame of being deceived, anger at aiding evil…
“Tiger King Hu Qian, you colluded with human demonic cultivators to plot the death of the former Fox King!”
White elder of the deep-sea clam clan, Bai Feng, at the late-stage Tribulation Realm.
An old man in white robes slammed his cane, shattering three miles of ground, his furious voice echoing through heaven and earth.
“You secretly supplied over 1,120 demonic beast cubs to the evil cultivators!”
“According to law, you shall be executed!”
Lin Shuang sat on the broad fox back, slowly climbing down to stand on her wide sword.
She snapped her fingers.
“Senior elders of the twelve sects, come forth.”
“Zhao family’s ancestor, come forth.”
[…?]
[Summon… Elder!]
“Wherever evil cultivators are, humans and demons shall unite to strike them down!”
As soon as Lin Shuang finished speaking, another group of snow worms emerged from the ground.
Ming Chongmen, who was heading to activate the transmission formation, arrived together with the Sea Clan and small demons from the Wolf and Fox tribes.
Elders from the Qing Shui Sect, Bai Hua Sect, Yun Yang Gate, and other factions appeared.
Hu Xun, have you anything to say for yourself for colluding with evil cultivators!”
The enormous nine-tailed fox in front of Lin Shuang raised its head and let out a long roar toward the sky.
