Chapter 198: The Qingqiu Fox Clan!
【As the handsome man took the initiative to attack, you and he were soon locked in fierce combat.】
【After ten exchanges, you were astonished to discover that although the handsome man before you was also at Mahayana Realm Great Perfection, his strength was on an entirely different level from the Northern Abyss King.】
【That discovery immediately set you speculating about his identity.】
【You knew that to possess such strength in the Dead Land, he naturally had secrets of his own, and those secrets were exactly what you most wanted to know.】
【With that in mind, you decided not to keep playing around with him.】
【You erupted with a fierce aura and, with overwhelming force, effortlessly smashed the handsome man to the ground.】
【You planted one foot firmly on his chest, then used the True Eye to inspect his identity.】
【Xuan Fan: Three-Tailed Profound Fox】
【Note: The Three-Tailed Profound Fox belongs to the Qingqiu Fox Clan!】
【Talent: Shadow Stealth】
【Shadow Stealth: Meld into the shadows, concealing one’s aura and form to achieve a stealth effect. Suitable for ambushes or escape.】
【Cultivation: Mahayana Realm Great Perfection!】
【“How is this possible? How can your strength be this great?”】
【Lying on the ground and coughing up blood, Xuan Fan looked at you with a face full of shock.】
【In his view, below the Tribulation Stage, no one should have been his match. That alone showed just how confident Xuan Fan was in his own strength.】
【And yet, for someone so confident in his strength, the fact that you had crushed him to the ground in a single move was something he had never imagined.】
【Xuan Fan’s words instantly pulled you back to reality.】
【At that moment, a trace of shock flashed through your eyes.】
【You had never expected that the Xuan Fan before you was actually a Three-Tailed Profound Fox, and that he seemed to have some connection to the Qingqiu Fox Clan.】
【The moment you thought of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the first person who came to mind was Luo Yiyi.】
【You remembered that Luo Yiyi possessed the royal bloodline of the Qingqiu Fox Clan and was also the daughter of the Qingqiu Fox Emperor.】
【You lowered your gaze to Xuan Fan beneath you. You did not know what sort of relationship existed between the Myriad Demon Hall and Luo Yiyi.】
【From what you had previously learned, Luo Yiyi’s reincarnation into the Dead Land seemed to have hidden circumstances behind it.】
【“What kind of look is that?”】
【Seeing the strange look in your eyes, Xuan Fan felt rather uneasy.】
【“You do not actually think that just because you defeated me, you can seize the Myriad Demon Secret Realm, do you? Let me tell you, in the Myriad Demon Hall, my strength only ranks somewhere in the middle-to-lower tier!”】
【You did not take Xuan Fan’s words to heart. Instead, you said something that made his face fill with shock.】
【“You are not from the Canglan Realm. You are from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, aren’t you?”】
【“What?”】
【Behind you, when Black King heard those words, he looked at Xuan Fan beneath your foot in disbelief.】
【And after Xuan Fan heard you speak his true identity aloud, panic unconsciously surfaced in his eyes.】
【“Y-You... who exactly are you?”】
【“How could you possibly know something like that?”】
【“Let us talk.”】
【As soon as the words fell, you released Xuan Fan.】
【At present, you did not know whether the Myriad Demon Hall stood on Luo Yiyi’s side or against her. Under such circumstances, you felt it was absolutely necessary to have a thorough discussion with them.】
【And if you wanted the other side to explain things to you, then you needed to hold the initiative. That initiative came from the fact that you knew their identity, while they knew nothing of your background.】
【Xuan Fan struggled to his feet, then gave you a long, searching look.】
【“What is it you want to know?”】
【You glanced at the Myriad Demon Secret Realm behind Xuan Fan and slowly said,】
【“Why did you come to the Canglan Realm?”】
【“Should not the Qingqiu Fox Clan be residing in the Weiyang Immortal Realm?”】
【“You!!!”】
【When Xuan Fan heard you say the words “Weiyang Immortal Realm,” his eyes widened involuntarily, and he became even more convinced that you were not someone from the Canglan Realm, but absolutely someone from the Weiyang Immortal Realm or from some other top Immortal Realm force.】
【“I do not know much about that matter. You should speak to our Ancestor instead!”】
【After saying that, Xuan Fan turned and gestured for you to follow him so that you could enter the Myriad Demon Secret Realm and continue the conversation there.】
【However, by the time half his body had already entered the Secret Realm, he realized that you were still standing there without moving at all.】
【“What is wrong?”】
【Xuan Fan temporarily gave up on entering the Myriad Demon Secret Realm and looked at you in confusion.】
【You told Xuan Fan that your body had been contaminated by the Progenitor of the Bizarre Insects, and that you could not enter a Secret Realm. Otherwise, you would contaminate the Secret Realm, and once contaminated, it would no longer be usable.】
【“What?”】
【“What?”】
【Black King and Xuan Fan cried out in unison.】
【What shocked Black King was that the reason the Great Desolate Secret Realm had been polluted was actually because of you.】
【Only at this moment did Black King finally understand why you had not entered the Secret Realm to inspect the situation back at the Northern Abyss Palace.】
【As for Xuan Fan, what shocked him was the very idea that a Secret Realm could be polluted. This was the first time he had ever heard such a thing.】
【“Are you telling the truth?”】
【Xuan Fan asked you once more, wanting to confirm whether this matter was real.】
【You told Xuan Fan that another Secret Realm in Huangzhou had been polluted by you unintentionally, and by the time you realized it, it had already been too late.】
【You told Xuan Fan that you had been to the Heavenly Dao Space and had come into contact with the Progenitor of the Bizarre Insects.】
【At the same time, Black King also spoke up at the side and confirmed that everything you said was true.】
【Although Xuan Fan was extremely unwilling to believe it, from the expressions on your face and Black King’s face, he knew that you were not lying.】
【“Wait here a moment. I’ll go in and report this!”】
【After tossing out those words, Xuan Fan turned and entered the Myriad Demon Secret Realm.】
【After that, you and Black King quietly waited outside the Myriad Demon Secret Realm.】
【Time passed second by second.】
【Until dusk fell, Xuan Fan still had not emerged.】
【At that point, Black King could not help saying,】
【“That brat would not have learned that you can pollute Secret Realms, decided you would not dare force your way in, and then simply stood us up, would he?”】
【After hearing Black King’s words, you shook your head.】
【“He would not!”】
【You were certain that Xuan Fan would not dare break his word.】
【You knew very well that the appearance of the Qingqiu Fox Clan in the Canglan Realm was absolutely no accident. They definitely had secrets unknown to others.】
【And so, you and Black King continued waiting until dawn the next morning.】
【The next day, several figures suddenly walked out of the Myriad Demon Secret Realm.】
【At the front was an elderly woman, while Xuan Fan, whom you had met before, stood obediently at the very back.】
【“Ancestor, this is the human!”】
【From the back, Xuan Fan raised a hand and pointed at you as he spoke to the elderly woman.】
【At those words, the elderly woman fixed her gaze on you, her eyes looking as though they wanted to see through you from beginning to end.】
【“Young friend, where do you come from? Which force do you belong to?”】
【Looking at the kindly smile on the elderly woman’s face, you felt a little uncomfortable.】
【“The Canglan Realm!”】
