The Fox Comes from Outer World

After leaving the palace, the car drove directly to the outskirts of the city. Since the car was carrying patients with the disease, they didn't stop in the city any longer. This time, the carriage was no longer a carriage from Cang Wu Palace, but a rather simple and light one. It was obvious that the person driving the carriage had already changed to a more trusted one.

Yueze and I sat alone in the car, and he gently held my hand all the way.

The Winter Solstice is an important festival. Even in the homes of the common people, we have to worship our ancestors and worship our parents. So we are accompanied by the smell of paper money and sandalwood. The surrounding scenery became more and more desolate. Within the smoke of the incense stick of paper, one could even see the vague shadows of ghosts. These were all lonely souls that had not been reincarnated yet, enjoying the offerings of the human world.

All the souls in the mortal world should have reincarnated into the Underworld after their bodies were destroyed. However, there were some souls that could not be reincarnated successfully due to obsession or some other reasons, causing them to remain in the mortal world and become wraiths. Normally, the Underworld would send ghost servants to capture these ghosts and clean them up. However, on Winter Solstice, this was the day the ghosts enjoyed worship. The gods of the Underworld would turn a blind eye to this, so the cautious ghosts that hid in the dark would all come out.

There were ghosts who would look up in curiosity at the passing cars. I was a monster and I could feel the unusual aura, so I carefully lifted the curtain and looked at it. In the wilderness, there were many lonely ghosts. At this time, Yue Ze also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Curious, I whispered to him, "You can see them?"

Yue Ze nodded slightly: "I can vaguely feel it."

Yue Ze understood magic, perhaps he had also practiced it before? I sighed and lowered the curtain. "Are we going straight home?"

Yue Ze shook his head: "There is one thing that I have yet to finish."

As he spoke, he tapped his palm, and the car came to a halt. Surprised, I followed him out of the car. I thought he was going to order the car to take us straight back to Southfall, but instead he just ordered the car to be parked on the outskirts of the city.

He said, "We'll wait for Bai Lin to leave together."

I nodded happily and walked beside him under a withered date tree. The twigs and branches of the jujube tree were twisted, and under the dark sky, under the light of the sun, the dry branches of the jujube tree flew up into the sky, as if asking something angrily.

Yueze told me that Bai Lin, disguised as a witch, would be praying for the royal family tonight. When the ceremony was over, she would immediately arrange for us to leave the palace, so we had to wait here for a while longer.

After Yueze said this, he became a little silent. The cold wind blew his long hair, making me feel a little uneasy.

After leaving the palace and getting rid of the rest of the Pear Garden artistes, leaving the Cang Wu Palace guards' line of sight, they should have been safe, but Yue Ze's mood seemed to have become strange. I felt a little uneasy and was about to ask him why, but then a strong wind started blowing all around me.

The forest was rustling from the wind. The ghosts that were wandering around were screaming as they fled in all directions. Startled, I raised my head to look at the sky. At this moment, Yue Ze whispered in my ear, "The sky is abnormal!"

Indeed, as the red light flashed in the sky and the wind blew, the leaden clouds began to churn violently. Everyone could understand that there was a natural change in the situation. However, I have already gotten used to it. Squatting on the ground while hugging my head, I silently cursed the damned Jade Emperor. You wouldn't be using heavenly tribulation on me for such an important holiday today, right? From the strange color of the sky, it was clear that this was the sign that the heavenly tribulation was coming!

I didn't want to believe my eyes, but the faint thunder of the thunder dragged me back to reality. Yueze also pulled me up, saying with concern, "White kid, what's wrong with you? Is the thunder making you sick? "

I smiled wryly, looked up at the sky, and closed my eyes in resignation.

What was coming could not be avoided. He had originally thought that the next Heavenly Tribulation would wait until next year's spring. It seemed that the heavens had changed their minds.

I withdrew my hand from Yueze's grasp and jumped back into the car. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Please send me back to the Azure Emperor Palace!"

After hearing that, Yue Ze's expression changed drastically as he stared at me in bewilderment. I helplessly pointed to the sky and said, "You also know that I have the Bai Clan's Divine Seal on me, right? I have the blood of the Celestial Fox Immortal on me, so the heavens want me to experience this tribulation. This tribulation, only those with dragon Qi can save me. "

The situation was urgent, so I could only half-lie and briefly explain to Yue Ze the reason why I wanted to return to the Azure Dragon Palace: "So, only the chosen one with true dragon qi can help me face this disaster."

After Yueze heard this, he revealed an expression that surprised me, "So …" As expected … It's because of the dragon aura on Yan Hua's body. "

There was something strange about his words, and I couldn't help but be taken aback. Yue Ze expressed his doubts to me. "I already guessed the reason. Since that's the case, then you don't have to be in a hurry to return. Surely, the Emperor of Cang Wu Country is on his way back now?"

I was surprised but Yue Ze actually jumped on the car and patted my shoulder before sitting beside me. "When I fought with Yan Hua the last time, I already noticed his profound mana. "Later on, I requested the mages to calculate and the divination told me that the reason why Yan Hua's mana was higher than mine was because he had a dragon aura bestowed by the heavens. If I want to unify this world, I must first destroy his dragon aura …"

He told me in detail, and I was appalled. It turned out that Yue Ze already knew about the dragon aura on Yan Hua's body. Besides saving me, he had other plans this time.

"Could it be that you actually want to destroy the dragon aura on Yan Hua's body?" I was stunned. I was still pointing at his dragon aura and living!

Yueze shook his head, "The dragon's Qi was bestowed by the heavens. It was cultivated through all one's life. It is extremely precious, so why would I casually destroy it? I just went to find a mage, found a way to transfer and seize it, and used it as a plan to unify our country. "

Transfer? Seize? I looked at Yueze in shock. I really didn't expect him to have this kind of thought. I never knew that dragon qi could be transferred to another family. If I knew earlier, I would have snatched away Yan Hua's dragon qi.

A sense of defeat followed. I was still worried. "Yan Hua's martial arts are not weak, and his mana is higher than mine and yours. How can I seize his dragon aura?"

Yue Ze lightly patted my shoulder. "You just have to wait patiently for this."

Just as I was about to ask, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky, and it struck a mountain forest not far from where we were resting!

With a hong sound, the towering ancient tree broke on its side, creating an earth-shattering sound within the forest. The expression on the face of the guard beside him changed slightly. Yueze looked up at the sky, slightly worried.

My face was already drained of color — the thunder had begun, and it might soon land on my head! "With my physique, I've been able to draw the lightning from the heavens, but where are you, Yan Hua, to protect me?
