Chapter 291 - Master Is Omniscient

Chapter 291: Master Is Omniscient

He couldn’t figure out where the demon in front of him was from and why he was so clueless.

‘Could he be a human?’

‘However, he doesn’t seem to have the features of a human… His skin is bright yellow, and his facial features are distorted.’

“How many Nine-Tailed Foxes are competing for the position of successor?”

Chen Chen asked again.

After giving it some thought, the Divine Dragon Demon Emperor answered carefully, “Two. Both of them are late-stage Essence Soul realm powerhouses who are famous in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.”

Chen Chen’s face turned sullen after hearing that.

‘Late Essence Soul realm… that basically means that I can rule out Hu Xian’er.’

‘She didn’t even become a potential candidate, now I won’t be able to use her to achieve my agenda.’

‘This is tough…’

Besides, he wasn’t familiar with the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range.

With his current abilities, it was indeed impossible for him to do much.

“How many of the cultivators on the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range are above the Essence Soul realm?”

Chen Chen asked again.

“About thirty-something. The Demon Emperors of the eight major demon clans who didn’t go to the human territory are basically all here.”

Chen Chen took a deep breath after hearing the answer.

‘Thirtysomething Demon Emperors… Saving Hu Xian’er alone is already difficult enough, I should forget about the rest.’

Of course, he had to meet Hu Xian’er before he could make a decision.

At the thought of this, Chen Chen launched a divine sense attack, knocking out the Divine Dragon Demon Emperor before entering the room again. He then walked towards the demoness who had passed out.

The demoness’ cultivation level was only at the peak of the Core Formation realm, and she should be the Demon Emperor’s maid. Thus, it was much easier to control her than the Demon Emperor.

Seeing that she was still unconscious, Chen Chen gave her an elixir.

In the blink of an eye, the demoness awakened.

“Lord… Lord, how can I help you?”

The demoness cringed when she saw Chen Chen, her face full of shock and horror.

Chen Chen said with a smile, “I just gave you a poisonous elixir. If you can’t get the antidote within three days, you’ll definitely die.”

Chen Chen wasn’t lying about it. Ever since the encounter at the Dark Immortal Sect, he had been bringing plenty of poisonous elixirs with him, and the one he fed the demoness was just one of the few types.

If she couldn’t get the antidote within three days, she would not only die, her death would be absolutely tragic.

The demoness was extremely frightened, and her body began trembling vigorously. Without uttering another word, she started kowtowing to Chen Chen.

She wasn’t a fool either, and she knew that the terrifying Chen Chen could kill her in a matter of seconds. There was no need for him to use a slow-acting poison at all. Clearly, he needed her to do something for him.

“Lord… if you have any orders for me, please let me know. All I’m asking is that you spare my life.”

As soon as she said that, a hand swayed in front of her, and by the time she recovered from the shock, she had already reappeared in that room.

That almost made her think that everything that happened just now was her hallucination.

“Go out and walk around.”

A voice that sounded in her head immediately made her snap back to reality.

The demoness opened the door carefully and walked out.

“Make your expression more natural, don’t look like you stole something.”

“Yes! Yes!”

The demoness answered and began to pretend to be calm. As a Core Formation realm demoness, she could still pretend.

…

Before she knew it, she had already been wandering in this mountain for an hour, but that voice never sounded again, which was quite a relief for her.

However, just as she was approaching a courtyard somewhere on the mountainside, the voice sounded again.

“Go in.”

Hearing this order, the demoness didn’t dare to disobey at all as she hurriedly turned around and walked towards that courtyard. However, before she could step into the courtyard area, she was stopped by a Nascent Soul realm Demon King who jumped out from the shadows.

“Dear guest, you can’t enter this place as and when you wish.”

The Demon King stretched out his hand and blocked the demoness as he stopped her in a cold tone.

The demoness subconsciously moved backwards, but at this moment, the Nascent Soul realm Demon King got a great shock and stood still.

“Go in.”

Hearing the command in her head, the demoness walked past the Demon King and approached the courtyard.

However, at this moment, an isolation array appeared in front of her to stop her.

The demoness had an ominous hunch when she saw the array.

Such isolation arrays would block out all sounds, voice transmissions, and divine senses. They had the high defensive ability and were usually used for confining some fugitives or criminals.

Thinking of this, a hint of resistance arose in her heart.

“Lord, I can’t enter with this array around.”

As soon as she said that, the scenery in front of her changed, and immediately afterwards, her vision turned black as she passed out.

…

When Chen Chen stepped into the courtyard, the array had already been repaired.

“Who’s there!?”

A voice asked in a vigilant tone. Immediately afterwards, a white figure lunged towards him like a bolt of lightning.

Chen Chen didn’t resist it.

Dong!

With a crunching sound, the figure bounced back at a faster speed.

Seeing that the figure was about to attack again, Chen Chen adjusted his clothing and said with a smile, “It’s me.”

As soon as he said that, the figure in white suddenly stopped and turned into Hu Xian’er who was shocked and in disbelief.

“Master… Master, why are you here?”

Chen Chen asked with a smile, “You asked me for help, so I’m here.”

Hu Xian’er was speechless as she looked at Chen Chen like he was an immortal.

‘How did the Master know that I’m here?’

‘How did Master enter the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range and find me?’

‘Most importantly, how did Master silently delve into this prison where even the late-stage Essence Soul realm experts can’t enter?’

Hu Xian’er had plenty of doubts in mind, but they all turned into reverence for Chen Chen.

‘He seems to have been omniscient from the day I knew him.’

“Is that Nascent Soul realm Demon King at the door the only one guarding you? They’re belittling you, aren’t they?”

Chen Chen smiled calmly.

Hu Xian’er said with a bitter smile, “Master, with my abilities, it’s definitely impossible to break the array in this courtyard. That Demon King at the entrance is just for show.”

Chen Chen nodded and continued. “Is there a chance for you to make a comeback in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan? If not, I’ll get you out of here sneakily.”

Hearing his words, Hu Xian’er’s eyes were filled with a resentful gaze. “Master, I could have competed for that position, and the old butler supports me too. However, that bitch Hu Mei caught me and forced the butler to support her! Even the old butler can’t break the array so he had to succumb…”

As Hu Xian’er went on and on about it, the sadder she got. She was the closest to the butler in the Nine-Tailed Fox, but after she was locked up, no one was willing to speak for her.

At this moment, she absolutely detested the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

The thought of Chen Chen braving through the odds and taking the risk to come here made her feel extremely emotional, and she wished she could cry out loud.

She finally understood what it meant by “true colors show during times of adversity”.

“Who’s the old butler? What’s his cultivation level?” Chen Chen asked calmly.

“He’s my mother’s uncle. Since my mother passed away, he became the butler of the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range. IF not for him, I would have long been forgotten by my father… he cultivated to the late Essence Soul realm and is the second strongest person within the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range.”

Hu Xian’er answered obediently.

“So what do you want now? Is there still a chance to fight for it?” Chen Chen asked again.

He didn’t decide for her immediately. After all, he didn’t know much about the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s situation.

Hu Xian’er subconsciously wanted to nod, but after thinking that Chen Chen, an outsider, might be in danger if he intervened, she hung her head low and shook her head a little.

“Forget it, Master, I’ll come back for revenge when I make some progress in cultivation.”

The moment she lowered her head, she saw Chen Chen’s bright yellow hand, which took her by surprise.

“Master, what happened to your hand?”

As soon as Hu Xian’er mentioned about Chen Chen’s hand, he quickly retracted it.

“It’s part of my disguise to help me mix into the demons. After all, looking like a demon takes more than just a change of face. To look like a demon, I have to change my entire body so I dyed my skin.” Chen Chen explained.

Hu Xian’er was more and more touched by his words.

‘Master actually decided to forgo his image to save me even though it’s what he cares about the most. This…’

She could only secretly keep his kindness in mind.

“Ahem, since you think you can’t fight, let’s go.”

As Chen Chen spoke, he took out Little Carefree Immortal Palace, and at the moment he was preparing the fox fairy to install it, his face changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction behind him.

There was a figure hovering quietly and staring at him and Hu Xian’er coldly.

He didn’t know how long the figure had been there for.
