Chapter 778: It Feels like There’s Something Wrong
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Xiaolan also nodded in response.
Right at this moment, the fox holding the tiger skin pa.s.sed by An Lin.
Its eyes immediately lit up upon seeing the exquisitely beautiful Xu Xiaolan.
Beasts and humans were different species, so even if a Celestial Maiden was to appear before them, they would only marvel at her beauty, but that would be the extent of their emotional response.
However, the foxes were different. They were attracted to humans as well, which was why vixens would often adopt a human form. This reflected the strong yearning they had toward the beauty of humans.
Xu Xiaolan’s features were extremely intricate, her skin was as fair as white jade, and she possessed a regal disposition from her vermilion bird and true dragon bloodlines. She was like a G.o.ddess who had descended upon the world, striking awe and wonder into the hearts of all the onlookers.
The fox was unable to resist such a peerless beauty.
It immediately let loose a wolf whistle before strutting over to Xu Xiaolan with a sly grin. “Hey there, pretty woman, what are you doing here in Luo Hu City? I’m the top dog here, so if you have anything you need help with, I’m your fox, hehehe…”
Many of the beast onlookers gathered around with sinister smiles.
This fox would often target the humans who came here, and it looked like that woman was about to become his latest victim.
“You can help? Do you know the reason why there is so much unrest in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool?” An Lin suddenly asked.
“Shut the f*ck up! You think you can talk over me?!”
The fox glowered at An Lin before slas.h.i.+ng its sharp claws toward An Lin’s neck, leaving a series of afterimages and a sharp whistling sound in its wake.
It was going for the kill from the get-go.
However, a delicate, fair palm flew toward it at an even quicker speed.
In that instant, the fox felt an overwhelming sense of despair and impending death.
It turned its head with shock and horror etched onto its face.
It didn’t even get a chance to react before the terrifyingly powerful palm was upon it.
Bam!
The palm did not even make contact with the fox before its head exploded like a watermelon.
Xu Xiaolan glowered coldly at the headless fox. “How dare you attack my An Lin? You can go repent in h.e.l.l!”
The fox’s headless body remained standing for a split second before collapsing to the ground.
All the beast onlookers drew sharp intakes of breath as they stared at Xu Xiaolan with awe and veneration.
The Spirit Nurturing Stage Master Fox had been insta-killed by a single palm? This woman was not someone they could mess with!
Some of the more cowardly beasts, such as the Mouse Tribe, were already scurrying away in fear of being slaughtered.
“As expected of my master’s wife, that was awesome!” Xiao Ze’s eyes lit up as he began to applaud.
“Xiaolan is so reliable!” An Lin also joined in on the applause. However, the situation felt a bit weird, as if their roles had somehow been reversed.
Xu Xiaolan was a little embarra.s.sed. “Sorry about that. My anger got the better of me, and I killed it before interrogating it for information.”
An Lin waved his hand with a nonchalant expression. “It’s alright. Spirit Nurturing Stage trash like this won’t have any useful information anyway.”
Spirit Nurturing Stage trash? All the beast onlookers drew another sharp intake of breath.
That human had to be quite powerful to say something like that.
All of them made mental notes not to mess with these three in the future…
Many of the beast onlookers began to disperse. Avoiding danger was an instinctive precautionary measure, so even though they were quite violent and bloodthirsty, they wouldn’t recklessly give their lives away by challenging someone that could clearly crush them.
Of course, this did not apply to those nutjobs in the central region of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.
“Master, where do we go now? Should we go undercover to try and gather some information?” Xiao Ze asked.
An Lin rolled his eyes before glowering at him. “Go undercover? Are you f*cking kidding me? Only weak trash would choose to do something like that! Powerful beings like us should take more direct routes!”
“More direct routes?” A hint of confusion appeared on Xiao Ze’s face.
An Lin turned his eyes toward the central area of this city. “Let’s go storm the City Lord’s Manor!”
Things like going undercover sounded quite advanced.
However, tactics like those were only utilized by people who were too weak to stand up against their enemy and could only gather information through sneaky tactics like this.
Some of them would go on to have their covers blown before being killed.
Others would do a better job or perhaps be luckier and continue to rise through the ranks, thereby allowing them to gather the information they needed.
However, even in the latter case, it would be an extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming endeavor.
In a small city like this, the City Lord was most likely the one who knew the most.
An Lin was not in the mood to go undercover.
Was he supposed to approach the City Lord, then slowly gain their trust before obtaining information? What a joke!
If he really wanted to know something, he could just beat the c.r.a.p out of the City Lord!
What if the City Lord refused to tell them what they wanted to hear? Just continue beating them until they obliged!
Everything was much easier when one had absolute strength.
The sound of an explosion suddenly erupted from the City Lord’s Manor.
“Roar!”
A golden tiger with a pair of golden wings fled into the distance.
A white-robed figure suddenly appeared before the golden tiger before launching a fist toward it.
Countless golden symbols erupted from the golden tiger’s body, instantly encompa.s.sing an area over a thousand feet in radius. This was an extremely uncommon sealing domain!
An Lin flashed through the air like a flying sword before tearing ruthlessly through the golden domain and striking his fist into the golden tiger’s body!
Boom!
Heaven and earth rumbled.
Howl…!
The golden tiger wailed in anguish before plummeting from the sky.
On the ground below, Xu Xiaolan made a series of Dragon Tribe hand seals.
A series of chains constructed from water suddenly appeared from mid-air before binding onto the golden tiger’s body like water snakes.
“Roar! Release me at once!”
The golden tiger struggled with all its might, but the chains of water grew even tighter, and it was completely unable to break free.
“I told you not to run, but you wouldn’t listen to me!” An Lin descended beside the golden tiger. “What is the cause of the sudden unrest within the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, tell me everything you know!”
“I-I don’t know anything!” the golden tiger yelled.
“Electrocution!” An Lin commanded.
Zap…
A dazzling bolt of lightning flashed from Xu Xiaolan’s fingertip before striking the golden tiger.
“Ah!” the golden tiger howled in agony.
Its body was convulsing uncontrollably, and its fur had been charred black by the fearsome bolt of electricity.
“How about now?” An Lin interrogated again.
“I seriously don’t know!” the golden tiger wailed with an aggrieved expression.
Boom!
Xu Xiaolan took the initiative this time to inflict some more torture.
“Are you going to talk?”
“I don’t know anything, what am I supposed to say?”
Boom!
The golden tiger was on the brink of death.
“Are you going to talk?”
The golden tiger: “…”
“Forget it, let’s go find someone else. It looks like this tiger really doesn’t know anything.” An Lin sighed.
The golden tiger was ecstatic upon hearing this.
“Kill it first. Its hide is pretty to look at…” An Lin added.
The golden tiger’s body shuddered violently. “No! Please spare me! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything I know!”
An Lin chuckled coldly. “Hurry up!”
The combination of electrocution and intimidation through threats was quite an effective one.
“I really don’t know the specifics! However, the Jade Bone Immortal Bug has made an announcement, calling on all Soul Formation Stage City Lords like me to gather at the capital city of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, Bai Hu City, in two days. That’s all I know! ”
The golden tiger trembled with fear as it spoke.
An Lin looked carefully at the golden tiger’s expression before transmitting his voice to the mirror hidden up his sleeve, “Magic mirror, is the golden tiger lying this time?”
“No,” the Vermilion Bird Mirror replied.
An Lin nodded before forcing the golden tiger to hand over the coordinates of Bai Hu City.
He then turned to Xiao Ze. “Let’s go to Bai Hu City!”
