Outside the provincial capital.

Inside a manor-style villa.

The young man sitting cross-legged on the floor of the hall suddenly opened his eyes. The turbidity receded and clarity emerged. A hint of gentle sadness revealed at the corner of his mouth, which looked particularly incongruous.

"It's okay to lose the body. It was a good thing in the first place. There's nothing to regret. The ten-year plan will soon be completed. Qilinzi is the hope of our clan. When the time comes, the immortals outside the Great Wall will follow our lead. This old woman also wants to meet that thousand-year-old snake demon."

Right in front of the hall, an old fox was sitting on a wooden chair, looking like a human, with eight tails hanging down behind it. Its demonic power was unfathomable. As a fourth-level demon fox, this fox lady had practiced for thousands of years. However, it was as difficult for a nine-tailed fox as it was for a snake fairy to transform into a dragon. Relying on time alone was far from enough.

"Aunt, those two Taoists mentioned Zhu Huai." The young man suppressed his heartache and stroked the long sword in his hand.

"How strange." The aunt muttered.

More than ten years ago, the child born from an ox and a snake was reincarnated into a half-unicorn under the urging of the Millennium Ginseng King. The Heaven sent down a thunderbolt to punish the evildoer, but it did not mean to kill it all.

But the birth of the Qilin, accompanied by strange phenomena, alarmed all the people in the caves of Lesser Khingan Mountains.

Qilin is the guardian of life and fortune. Just having it by your side has many benefits. What's more, its blood is extremely precious. Taking large amounts of it can transform one into a complete person.

Ordinary people can use it to awaken their spirits, and monsters can absorb it to make the leap to the dragon gate. In short, it is to improve the essential level of life.

As a result, tens of thousands of bears came down from the small cave and clashed with the local Liuxian family at that time.

Under the leadership of Zhu Huai, the Ma Liuxian tribe was on the verge of annihilation.

Brown bears all over the mountains rushed into Niujia Village. The scene was naturally horrific and resulted in thousands of deaths.

Such a big commotion was bound to alarm the alien world. Even Zhu Huai felt extremely difficult to deal with when he arrived after getting rid of the snake fairy leader. He had no choice but to find the fox aunt who was familiar to him.

The two sides decided to take Qilinzi away and create a mountain torrent to rush into the nearby Songhua River, making it impossible to detect any trace.

But when an evil spirit was born and a great resentment was encountered, the thunder from the sky finally rolled down.

In order to protect the harvest, Zhu Huai summoned his own small cave. A thunderstorm occurred, and the already broken world was completely unable to move. They could only hide in a large lake on a nearby mountain. Qilinzi was also on the verge of death.

Using the fragments of the small cave, the fox clan worked together to set up the Ershi Linzhai ceremony, using the evil thoughts of the dead souls to nourish Qilinzi, waiting for her to wake up again.

"It must be Zhu Huai's old debt, or it could be the three calamities of heaven, earth and man that I am incarnated into as the Nine-Tailed Fox. No matter what, the answer will be revealed tonight. The Gao family must not know about this. The magic sword in your hand was born out of hatred, and it is most suitable for taking Qilin blood. Zhu Huai is seriously injured, and this dirty thing can re-detonate the remaining power of the thunder in his body."

The aunt's face was determined. As long as she could get enough Qilin blood, she would be able to be promoted to Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox and reach the fifth level. By then, all the immortals outside the Great Wall would have to bow down to her.

The three-tailed fox controlled the young man to stand up. The magic sword had eroded the original soul of the body, but she was in a state of summoning a spirit at the moment and could isolate herself from the impact for a short period of time.

"I am willing to die for my aunt."

"Silly girl, I can't bear to see you die."

The old fox pointed to the door.

"I've got help for you."

The new successors of Higashi-nin all knelt on the ground, and being able to hold Hirumaru in a lucid state was enough to become everyone's ninja leader.

...Niujia Village.

The buffet at Mr. Niu’s house was very popular.

The guests can eat as they please and leave after they finish eating. In ancient times, only truly wealthy families could afford to set up such a banquet.

Seven people sat around a table. Jiang Yuan poured himself a glass of white wine. The food in front of them was real. The Ershi Linzhai ritual required the puppets to act as usual during the day and produce things that were not poisonous insects or strange snakes.

"According to the clues provided by Sky Eye, the demon disappeared from the suburbs and his activity range should be in this area. I wonder if there is any news about the two Wudang successors." Sect Leader Tang asked.

"Our target is not the demon sword, and we came here by chance." Wang Ye picked up a piece of prawn, "This village is noisy at night..."

Before he could finish his words, the host of the banquet, Mr. Niu, came over.

"May 5, midnight."

The middle-aged man had a smile on his face and looked like he was chatting, but the only thing that came out of his mouth was this one sentence, like a machine that could not be stopped. His face now looked the same as the man in the house last night, except that he was no longer feminine.

After rambling for more than ten times, Mr. Niu turned and left, but Feng Baobao jumped up and took off his mink hat.

On the back of the head under the long hair was a face that looked like a human or a snake. When it saw the sunlight, it let out a terrible scream. Black air filled the air. Zhang Chulan snatched the mink hat and put it on again.

Master Niu turned around, expressionless.

"Excuse me, everyone. My wife cheated on me in the past, and there is a small conflict between us... May 5, midnight..."

Just like a machine being rewound, this being who was definitely not a human began to chatter again, and May 5rd was today.

……

Night falls.

The company team pitched a few tents in the village, but knowing that there would be no peace at night, no one stayed there.

"I have reported the situation here to the company. The investigation team will arrive as early as tomorrow morning. However, if what Mr. Niu said is true, we may have to consider how to spend the night." said Master Tang.

"There is still an hour left. Let's put the matter of the demon aside for now. Thousands of people died in Niujia Village. This is no small matter." Xiao Zizai's smile disappeared from his face. Destroying the spirits did not give him a sense of satisfaction, but the moral constraints as a human made him unable to turn a blind eye.

"A demon has been born." Zhang Chulan pondered, "Master Wang Ye, isn't the Qilin a symbol of good fortune?"

"They may not be evil, but the chaos they caused may have caused real harm, just like the child in the fable who knew about disasters in advance. Whenever a disaster happened, he could give advance notice, but over time he was regarded as the carrier of disasters and was eventually beaten to death. This cannot be considered the child's fault after all."

Wang Ye added firewood to the fire. His brother might be something similar, or maybe not. Without his exact date of birth, he could only make a rough guess. If the result was the same as his turbulent fate, then he would have to take precautions against the worst. As long as he didn't ask about the other party's date of birth, he could control his thoughts on sealing his brother. A turbulent fate was totally incompatible with a peaceful and prosperous age. Putting himself in danger and keeping an eye on the other party all the time was a compromise choice made out of helplessness.

At a certain moment, the sound of a sad and gentle flute was heard among the villages.

Beside the campfire, Deng Youfu's eyes were bloodshot and he was about to lose his mind. Sect Leader Tang raised his hand and threw out a few silver needles, which pierced into the opponent's acupoints. The next second, fire rain fell from the sky and white light illuminated the open space.

Without any communication, the people present left one after another.
