Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 444: My Self (Read in 1 hours)

In the picture, he embarks on the path of self-examination.

Reincarnate as a mortal, a demon, or an immortal.

The reincarnation of the past lives and every past event flowed through his mind, reminding him of the feeling when he realized the truth.

I am myself. I am Chen Yuan, and I am also the eight-tailed demon fox.

Reincarnated from a fox since childhood.

From being cautious and prudent to being flamboyant now.

From having a kind heart and keeping his promises in everything, he is now wantonly indulging himself, killing people at will, without asking about the past or the good people.

Am I still the same me who was when I realized the truth?

If not, have I betrayed my original aspiration?

His tailless body shrank rapidly and fell, his tired eyes filled with confusion.

"puff···"

Exhausted, he slammed heavily into the dust, stirring up a cloud of ashes and dust.

Qingqiu no longer exists. All that remains is a barren wasteland with the remnants of fire scattered everywhere.

He curled up on the scorched earth, letting the ashes and dust stain his hair and the remaining fire burn him.

······
In the various demon sects in the Linglan Realm, the Demon Lord Fanxu who stayed behind in the sect began to feel uneasy as soon as the sky suddenly darkened and the bloody meteor shower fell.

When he rushed to the place where the soul lamp was stored, he immediately found that his fellow disciple who brought his disciples to Qingqiu today had returned to the void, and the soul lamp had quietly gone out.

Seeing this, their first reaction was shock and anger.

Then, those who were about to die were ordered to seal the mountain gate and operate the mountain protection formation with all their strength.

As for those who still had sufficient lifespan, they would give the order to activate the mountain protection formation and then set off for Qingqiu.

They were extremely fast, and their spiritual awareness was as strong as the vast ocean. Before they arrived at Qingqiu, they could sense that the Fire Avenue was raging in the Qingqiu area.

Going further ahead, I saw that Qingqiu no longer existed, only a piece of scorched earth burning with flames remained.

"this?"

They looked suspicious. What on earth had happened here? Could it be that the people of Qingqiu were plotting something?

Just as they were about to investigate further, someone spotted Lan Xi fleeing and immediately intercepted her, shouting angrily:
"Lan Xi! You are so bold that you dare to plot against my many demon sects!"

Upon hearing the voice, the Demon Lord Fanxu who had rushed over sent his spiritual sense over.

Seeing Lan Xi being stopped, they immediately moved closer, surrounded her, and said with an angry look:
"Lan Xi, you dare to plot against my Demon Sect, aren't you afraid of our reckoning?!"

"You are really generous enough to use the entire Qingqiu to plot against people like us from the Demon Sect!"

"You have a wolfish ambition. Do you want to destroy all the demon sects like me? And become a god here?"

The Fanxu who had gathered around had ferocious expressions on their faces, but no one dared to attack. Even their spiritual senses were alert to the surroundings.

Because they all knew that even if Lan Xi killed herself in the formation, she would never be able to cause such a big commotion, unless she used the legendary Qingqiu lineage's secret technique of cutting off the tail.

But they all knew the serious backlash after using the secret technique of cutting off the tail.

Now it seems that Lan Xi is fine. Although she looks a little frightened, her aura has not dropped, and it is obvious that she has not used the secret technique of cutting off the tail.

Lan Xi was surrounded by these people from the Demon Sect. She raised her hand without hesitation and said:
"My fellow Taoists, I, Lan Xi, swear a blood oath here. It was definitely not me who harmed you just now. I have never even had such a thought!"

"If there is even a trace of falsehood in this statement, I, Lan Xi, will be punished by the heavens!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

The blood mist condensed into a talisman in the air and then merged into nothingness.

There were bursts of muffled thunder in the sky, but no lightning struck.

Seeing this, the Fanxu people surrounding her all frowned.

Since they can cultivate to the level of returning to the void, they are naturally not stupid.

Considering how Lan Xi had just escaped, they reacted immediately.

The one who killed their fellow disciples was the outsider who killed Zhenlu and the Xingyue Twin Demons.

But the problem is, this person is obviously just an eight-tailed demon fox. How could he cause such a commotion without using the legendary secret technique of cutting off the tail?
And since he was able to cultivate to the Eight-Tails realm, how could he use this secret technique that kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of his own people for no reason?

Who provoked him that he would use such a secret technique to kill people?
Just as they were about to ask, Lan Yi had already guessed what they were thinking, and shook her head and said angrily:
"I don't know why he did that, he's a lunatic!"

"Not only did he steal my Nine Yin Fox Girl from Qingqiu, he also humiliated me in every way. Just now, he inexplicably used the Tail Cutting Secret Technique to kill many of his fellow Taoists."

The many Returning Void Demon Lords who had come to call for punishment looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment of hesitation, someone spoke up:

"Where is this person now?"

"I don't know. When I saw him perform the Tail-Severing Secret Technique, I immediately fled Qingqiu with my children and grandchildren. I didn't dare to watch any longer."

Lan Xi didn't know the answer to any of the questions, which made many Fanxu Demon Lords look dissatisfied.

"Lan Xi, no matter what, this person is from the same lineage as your Qingqiu. It was you who brought him back to Qingqiu that day."

"Today you are recruiting a son-in-law in Qingqiu. All my fellow apprentices have died in Qingqiu. Do you think you can just let it go with a few words?"

"That's right. If you don't give me an explanation, your Qingqiu lineage will be expelled from the Linglan Realm today!"

Lan Xi's face looked grim. When she was stopped, she had guessed that this situation would happen.

She felt aggrieved, but she still said patiently, "What kind of explanation do you want?"

"Humph! All of us brothers and sisters are here for the Nine Yin Fox Girl. What do you think?"

Lan's expression changed slightly, and she frowned and said:
"I'm sure you all know how difficult it is to form a Nine Yin Fox Girl..."

"Then I don't care. If you don't pay a Nine Yin Fox Girl to my White Bone Mountain, even if I can't kill you today, you will still die when my fellow disciples from the White Bone Mountain who went on the expedition to the Earthly Immortal Realm come back."

"That's right! This is also what my Blood Refining Sect means."

"Lan Xi, be good and pay for the Nine Yin Fox Girl. You will have a chance to make a comeback in Qing Qiu in the future. Otherwise, hmph."

······
The many demon cultivators surrounding Lan Xi were talking to each other, and Lan Xi's face turned red.

She was filled with remorse and blamed herself for being so blind in the first place, coveting his divine status and inviting that madman into Qingqiu.

Now he has brought disaster upon himself, losing both his wife and his army.

Looking at the ferocious faces of the people around her, she forced a smile and nodded:
"Okay, although this is not my wish, my fellow disciples died in Qingqiu after all, so I will follow your words."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

The Nine Yin Fox Girl, the only one in Qingqiu who could squeeze money out of the many demon sects, was going to give away so much.

In the next hundreds or thousands of years, Qingqiu will probably never recover.

The most important thing is that after losing the land of Qingqiu, the situation of their Qingqiu clan will be worrying in the future.

If the many Demon Lords who have returned to the Earthly Immortal Realm from their expedition come back, they will most likely be recruited as affiliates of some top demon sect.

Unless, she also has the courage and determination, like that madman, to kill them all using the secret technique of cutting off the tail.

But what happens after that? What happens to her fox descendants in Qingqiu?
Thinking of this, the worry on her face became even more intense.

But the many Returning Void Demon Lords surrounding her didn't care what she thought, but continued to ask:
"Lan'e, you said that madman used the secret technique of cutting off the tail, so he should be unable to move now, right?"

"I really don't know!"

When Lan Xi mentioned this, she looked annoyed, and the thought that had just flashed through her mind quickly grew:
"If you continue to force me, I will use the secret technique of cutting off my tail to kill you and me together!"

Seeing that Lan Xi didn't seem to be bluffing, the faces of the demon lords surrounding her froze slightly. After quietly retreating a little, they smiled again and said:

"Fellow Daoist Lan Xi, please be patient. We are just asking."

"Since Fellow Daoist Lan Xi doesn't know, let's go look for it ourselves."

"Yes, what happened today was not what Fellow Daoist Lan Xi wanted. Although we lost a Return to Void, she also lost Qingqiu. So please don't make things difficult for her."

After they said a few hypocritical words, they flew away one after another.

Looking at the backs of these people, Lan Xi's face became gloomy, and she suddenly had the idea of ​​leaving this world with her fox descendants.

Qingqiu is gone anyway, and continuing to stay here will only serve as a tool for others. I will wait for those demon sects to return from the expedition and then recruit them as my subordinates.

Instead of doing this, it is better to leave this world directly!

Thinking of this, a hint of determination appeared in her eyes, and she transformed into the true form of the eight-tailed demon fox.

With both claws raised, dark blue fox fire rose, and the space seemed to have become fragile due to the extreme cold.

"Kakaka..."

The sound of the ice being forcibly broken spread, and the consciousness of the Fanxu Demon Lord, who had just flown away, returned to explore.

But Lan Xi tore open the space and drilled into it, and her breath dissipated in the endless turbulence of space.

"This bitch!"

"Stinky fox!"

"We should have asked her to swear a blood oath first!"

They turned back in frustration and tore open space to follow his trail.

But the endless turbulence in space seemed to have been deliberately disturbed by Lan Xi who had left, making it impossible for them to find any clues with their deduction method.

Unable to track them, they cursed a few times in frustration and then dispersed.

Some people returned directly to the sect, while others refused to give up and headed towards the scorched earth Qingqiu.

This time no one attracted their attention, and in less than ten breaths someone discovered Chen Yuan in the ashes and dust.

The eyes of Demon Lord Fanxu, who was the first to discover Chen Yuan, lit up slightly, and he moved close to Chen Yuan.

The cuffs are opened wide, and the suction is spread.

Chen Yuan, whose body was covered in ashes and half burned, was sucked up and thrown towards the big sleeves.

However, a beam of demonic light came across and smashed the sleeves and the arm into pieces.

"Old Fly Demon, you're pretty quick!"

A skinny man appeared beside him, sneered, and opened his domain to include Chen Yuan.

"Hand over that fox!"

The Demon Lord Fanxu, also known as the Fly Demon, became furious and thousands of demon flies clung to his broken arms, forming new flesh and blood.

At the same time, a vague area appeared behind him, entangled with the skinny Demon Lord's area, preventing him from leaving directly.

The buzzing sound of the demon flies echoed, surrounding the skinny Demon Lord.

Upon hearing the voices of these two people, the Fanxu Demon Lords who were also searching gathered together.

This time, they did not question Lan Xi the same way as before.

No one said a word and just attacked the skinny Demon Lord.

Because they knew very well that Lan Xi still had the strength to fight.

If they are pushed into a corner, the secret technique of cutting off the tail may be able to lead them on their way.

But now, the eight-tailed demon fox that had just used the secret technique of cutting off its tail had become a popular target without any ability to resist.

If we can capture this fox, we can get the immortal artifact Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, the Jianmu seedling, the Shinto magic weapon, and even the Xuanwu Mausoleum in the North Sea!
The battle was about to break out, and the skinny Demon Lord Fanxu knew that this was not the time to engage in a fight.

He wanted to escape, but was entangled in the territory of the fly demon and could not get away for a moment. He could only roar and use the secret magic of the magic sect.

The body was divided into six parts, with the limbs, head and torso each carrying a part of the soul, turning into brilliant magic light and rushing in different directions.

Without his support, his territory was immediately broken open and swallowed up by the old fly demon's territory.

As the backlash spread, two of the escaping magic lights suddenly dimmed, but they finally managed to disappear into the sky.

Many Return to Void Demon Lords moved to chase after him, but it was difficult for them to catch up with the skinny Demon Lord who was split into six.

No one knows what kind of secret technique he used to split his body, but even if he moved his body, it would be difficult to catch up with him. It was almost as fast as the golden wind in the world.

After escaping for a distance, the skinny demon's limbs and head exploded at the same time.

Only his torso was now sprouting flesh and growing new limbs and a head.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to normal.

However, the backlash from his domain being broken made his face turn unnaturally pale.

However, there was no anger on his face, instead he looked happy.

After moving several times, he escaped into a bamboo forest.

The bamboo sea is full of light and the bamboo waves are swaying like the tide.

As soon as he came in, he sent a message to his disciples to control the formation. He then could not wait to return to the cave and use the soul-searching technique to search for the fox without a tail.

Just as the soul-searching technique was performed, a seal with brilliant divine light jumped out of thin air and smashed towards the skinny Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord was not surprised but delighted. He raised his hand and threw out a blood-red bamboo basket.

Thousands of wailing sounds came from the bamboo basket, and resentment was like the sea, blocking the seal with brilliant divine light in front of them.

Although the bamboo basket quickly became worn out, the wailing inside became lighter and lighter, and the resentment seemed to evaporate out of thin air.

But the skinny Demon Lord didn't care at all and used the soul-searching technique again.

However, this time, a dragon soul rose up and blocked the soul-searching technique.

"A dragon soul that has lived eleven lifetimes? That's quite interesting. Just follow me in the future!"

The skinny Demon Lord smiled, he didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

"Hey?"

A slight cry was heard, and the skinny Demon Lord looked down, only to see that the fox without a tail had regained its clarity and was no longer confused.

"Hey, so what if you woke up? You've lost your spiritual charm. From today on, your magic weapon belongs to me!"

He sneered, raised his hand, made a seal and pressed towards the struggling dragon soul.

The eight-tailed demon fox has lost its cultivation and is now useless. There is no need to rush it, but we must get this rare dragon soul first.

However, the next moment, he saw the fox take out a spiritual herb and put it into his mouth, and immediately sneered with disdain:

"Now whatever you eat is fake. You have lost all your spiritual charm, so you'd better not struggle. Just let me search your soul and refine your spirit, so as to avoid the pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tail emerge from the fox's hind buttocks.

Then there were two, three, and four.

Seeing the tails coming out, he was so shocked that he raised his hand and slapped the fox.

The vast demonic energy formed a giant hand that held up the sky and pressed down with an incomparably sharp palm wind.
