Chapter 1253: Hu Mei
Feeling the fist wind from behind, the thin and tall old man was astounded. He chanted hurriedly, then a 30 meters giant gray wolf phantasm emerged.
The giant wolf phantasm suddenly looked back. The sharp claws of its 2 forelimbs glowed with long black claws and menacingly clawed Liu Ming’s demonic flame arm.
With a loud noise, they collided instantly!
As soon as the claw light from the giant wolf phantasm touched the demonic flame, it collapsed like being evaporated. It couldn’t stop the punch at the slightest.
The next moment, a black light flashed, and a cl.u.s.ter of black demonic flames pierced through the thin old man’s chest in an instant.
The face of the tall and thin old man turned pale. After the giant wolf phantasm that emerged up from his body let out an unwilling whine, it collapsed. A fist-sized gray light cl.u.s.ter flashed out from his forehead, trying to escape.
Seeing this, Liu Ming raised his arm and grabbed at it across the distance. Suddenly, the s.p.a.ce fluctuated, and a giant black claw condensed and grabbed the gray light cl.u.s.ter.
From Liu Ming’s appearance to killing the opponent, it was almost a blink of an eye. The Celestial State tall and thin old man had no strength to fight back.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape in the gray light cl.u.s.ter, an almost desperate voice came out.
“I’m the elder of Shadow Wolf Race. As long as you don’t kill me, I can give you whatever you…”
Before he finished speaking, Liu Ming showed a trace of impatience, ignored his wailing, and searched his soul.
This soul search really shocked Liu Ming.
It turned out that the current situation of the Sky Fox Race family was much worse than Liu Ming imagined. It could even be said that they were almost completely defeated by Shadow Wolf Race and Green Snake Race.
Including Patriarch Saint King Lei Su, several Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses had all fallen. There were also countless Sky Fox Race cultivators who died tragically at the hands of these two races.
However, according to the information known by the thin and tall old man, Yao Ji, the princess of Sky Fox Race, was not hunted down. She escaped when the Wan Bo Palace was attacked. Now the 2 clans were teaming up to hunt down Sky Fox Race’s remaining forces, and Yao Ji was the top priority.
This tall and thin old man rushed toward a suspicious location to search for the Sky Fox Race beastkin cultivators after getting this news.
Not to mention, another piece of information shocked Liu Ming even more. This time, the Shadow Wolf Race and the Green Snake Race were able to defeat the Sky Fox Race so easily because of the Mystic Comprehending State traitor of the Sky Fox Race.
Coincidentally, this traitor was Qing Lan’s enemy Hu Mei.
After Liu Ming learned about this situation, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He clenched his palms tightly. The soul of the tall and thin old man dissipated into smoke.
Naturally, he would not leave behind the items on the Celestial State beastkin cultivator. After looting for a while, he launched a fireball to burn the corpse into ashes.
After doing all this, Liu Ming cast Che Huan Totem to conceal his aura again. After checking the direction, he flew toward the suspicious location of the Sky Fox Race’s beastkin cultivators that the tall thin old man remembered.
At the same moment, in a magnificent palace deep in Wan Bo Palace.
3 figures were sitting cross-legged here. They faintly formed a circle. Rays of lights shot out from their hands.
Among the 3 figures, one was a woman in a pink dress with a slim figure. Her appearance was extremely beautiful. She was like a fairy from heaven, but there was an endless charm in her eyes.
Purity and coquettishness were perfectly blended together in this woman, making people unable to look away when they saw this woman for the first time.
However, the other 2 sitting next to this woman didn’t pay much attention to the woman in pink dress.
One of them looked as pale as paper. He had long and narrow cheeks. He wore a tight-fitting green robe. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. There was a pair of snake pupils shining with cold light, giving people an eerie feeling.
The other person was an old man wearing a gray cloak. He had an ordinary appearance, but the pair of slender eyes were extremely deep, making people feel that his scheming was extremely deep.
Every move of the 3 of them carried great power. They were all Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses.
However, the aura exuded by the woman in the pink dress was somewhat weaker than that of the middle-aged man in a green robe and the old man in a gray robe.
In the middle of them was an incomparably complicated totem. A white light beam rose from the array, and a bead glittering in green light was wrapped in the white light beam.
This bead was only about a foot in size with 7 star patterns engraved on the surface. It exuded a faint brilliance. The bead seemed to contain endless green lights. One could tell at a glance that this was an extremely precious treasure.
They each shot a light beam which formed 3 circles of halos that wrapped the green bead inside. Under the effect of the totem, the lights constantly infiltrated into the green bead as if they were refining this treasure.
The green strange bead shone with rays of green light from time to time, easily shaking away the light beams they launched. Under the joint refinement of the 3 Mystic Comprehending State powers, they still couldn’t do anything about this strange bead.
After a long time, the green bead was still as stable as a rock. There was a trace of anxiety on their faces.
“The Lost Heaven Divine Bead really deserves to be the inheritance treasure of the Sky Fox Race. With the power of the three of us, we still can’t do anything to it.” The middle-aged man in a green robe frowned, withdrew his hand, and said flatly.
The old man in a gray robe smiled and put down his hands.
Seeing the other 2 stop their hands, a trace of displeasure flashed deep in the eyes of the woman in a pink dress, but she didn’t show it at all on her face. She waved and canceled the light beam.
“Why should Patriarch Bi Kun be impatient? Saint King Lei Su has fallen now, and the Lost Heaven Divine Bead is in our hands. With the help of Fairy Hu Mei, I believe that we will be able to refine this bead soon. By then we can open the secret realm of the Sky Fox Race.” The old man in a gray robe said with a slight smile.
“Yes, according to our original agreement, as long as you 2 help me control this bead and become the Saint King of the Sky Fox Race, I’m willing to give the endless treasures acc.u.mulated by our Sky Fox Race over countless years to you as rewards.” “The woman in a pink dress said with a slight smile.
“It’s good that Fairy Hu Mei can remember this agreement. This time our 2 clans have suffered a great loss in order to help you.” The old man in a gray robe glanced at Hu Mei and said so.
“That being said, we have been using refining this bead days and nights for more than 2 months, but there is still no sign of success. If we delay like this, I’m afraid things will change. I remember Lei Su had some friendship with the Blood Vine Race’s Saint King Blood Smear, so it’s hard to guarantee that the Blood Vine Race won’t get involved in this matter.” The old man in a gray robe said at this moment.
The expressions of the other 2 changed slightly when they heard about Blood Vine Race.
“It’s not that I didn’t try my best. Partriach Ji Dao doesn’t know that the Lost Heaven Divine Bead can only be activated by the patriarch who has accepted the sky fox inheritance. I’m really helpless about this.” A strangeness flashed in the depths of Hu Mei’s eyes, and she said with a wry smile. She looked like a fragile girl.
The 2 of them frowned upon hearing this.
The inheritance of the Sky Fox Race had always been pa.s.sed down from generation to generation, but after Saint King Lei Su got set up, he was besieged by several of them. Under his desperate struggle, he died tragically without leaving a corpse.
Although He Mei had the talent of eight tails which happened only once in ten thousand years and the difference between eight tails and nine tails sounds like only one tail, the difference couldn’t be measured by this.
“In that case, aren’t we helpless?” The middle-aged man in a green robe said with a cold face.
“As far as I know, the princess of the Sky Fox Race, Yao Ji, has a pure bloodline, which is the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox. If we find this woman, will there be a chance to refine this bead? “The old man in a gray robe said after thinking about it.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the green robe suddenly showed a gleam of joy on his face as he looked at Hu Mei.
“Although Yao Ji’s blood is pure, she has never experienced the inheritance of Sky Fox Race after all. I’m afraid she may not be able to refine the Lost Heaven Divine Bead. Moreover, this woman was secretly taken out by someone arranged by Saint King Lei Su during the war. Now I’m afraid it’s hard to find her.” Hu Mei’s beautiful eyes flashed as she said with a light sigh.
The other two looked at each other without speaking.
“Having said that, it is still a way. Let’s try it first. After all, letting that Yao Ji escape will always be a hidden danger in the future.” The old man in a gray robe said with a flick of his eyes, then he took out a piece of gray talisman. After whispering a few words, he raised his hand and the talisman shot out of the palace in a gray light.
“You 2 don’t have to worry. I have already thought of a method, which may be useful.” Seeing the old man in a gray robe’s movements, Hu Mei’s eyes flashed with a hint of anxiety. She suddenly said.
“Oh, tell me about it.” The old man in a gray robe asked immediately.
“Although I have never been in touch with the Sky Fox Race inheritance, I know the bloodline sacrifice mystic art in my clan. If there is a Mystic Comprehending State Sky Fox Race cultivator corpse, I can use this mystic art to refine this Lost Heaven Divine Bead.” Hu Mei said lightly.
The middle-aged man in a green robe and the old man in a gray robe were moved slightly. During this war, several Mystic Comprehending State corpses of Sky Fox Race were in their hands. Hu Mei knew this very well.
But if they couldn’t refine this bead and open the secret realm, the other forces would take the opportunity to intervene. They would lose more than gain by then.
The middle-aged man in the green robe and the old man in a gray robe looked at each other for a few moments. Their complexions became uncertain for a while.
After a while, it was the old man in a gray robe who broke the silence first. He said decisively, “Well, since this method may work, let’s try it.”
The middle-aged man in a green robe pondered for a moment, then nodded.
“Okay, let’s start now.” Hu Mei said delightedly. She waved and launched a pink light to shroud the entire hall.
Several hours later, a b.l.o.o.d.y light beam soared into the sky above the main hall. It lasted for a long time.
TL: This Hu Mei seems to be up to something suspicious… Could this betrayal be a preplanned move?
