Sheng Lingfeng nodded. “It was a fox, yes. It was a black-purple fox.”
Yu Huang suddenly asked another question that was completely unrelated to the topic. She asked, “Dad, do you know where the Grand State Master’s hometown is?”
Sheng Lingfeng said thoughtfully, “He’s the same as She Ying. They’re both from the Abyssal Origin Forest, right?” The truth about Mo Xiao being an Abyssal Demon Beast was deduced by Sheng Lingfeng through Mo Xiao and She Ying’s relationship.
If ordinary Beast Tamers died in battle, they would still be in human form after death. However, after Mo Xiao died in battle, he looked like a Nine-Tailed Fox.
It could be seen that he wasn’t a human, but a demon beast.
Yu Huang said, “You’re wrong. The Grand State Master is from the Demon Beast Continent.”
Sheng Lingfeng was shocked. “What?! He’s from the Demon Beast Continent?” Sheng Lingfeng subconsciously rejected this truth. He said, “How is that possible? The doc.u.ments we found about the Grand State Master were from more than a thousand years ago. The first time he appeared in the records was when he was a Supreme Master. The Demon Beast Continent is much more powerful than the Holy Spirit Continent. Why would he come to us?”
What did this feel like?
It was like a rich young master who was born in Jingdu suddenly ran to a remote mountain village to farm. It was ridiculous and laughable.
Yu Huang didn’t explain why the Grand State Master came to the Holy Spirit Continent. She asked Sheng Lingfeng, “Dad, you’ve been training in the Demon Beast Continent for a period of time and have a certain understanding of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Have you heard the legend of the Scourge Black Fox among the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?”
Sheng Lingfeng was even more shocked. “You even know about the Scourge Black Fox?”
“I heard the partic.i.p.ants there mention it on the Doomsday Battlefield.”
“It seems that the Doomsday Battlefield is a good information collection station.” Sheng Lingfeng shook his head and laughed. After laughing, he said, “Of course I’ve heard of this.”
“Can you tell me in detail?” Yu Huang had only heard some broad information in the Doomsday Battlefield. She wanted to hear Sheng Lingfeng tell her in detail.
Sheng Lingfeng slowly said, “Two thousand years ago, the first wife of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s Patriarch gave birth to a rare single-child fox. You might not know, but in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, the more babies there are, the worse the talent of that batch of children. Back then, the Patriarch and the entire clan were overjoyed that the Patriarch was pregnant with a rare single child.”
“Everyone thought that the Patriarch’s wife would give birth to a peerless genius, but who knew that the Patriarch’s wife would actually give birth to a black Nine-Tailed Fox in the end? I heard that in order to stop the Scourge Black Fox from destroying the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, the old Patriarch decided to put righteousness before family and strangle the Scourge Black Fox to death. However, the Patriarch’s wife loved her son and forcefully dragged her weak body to escape from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan with the child.”
At this point, Sheng Lingfeng suddenly laughed sarcastically. “Everyone on the Demon Beast Continent praises the Nine-Tailed Fox patriarch for being righteous, but I don’t agree with his actions. That’s his child. Because of some groundless legends, he considered his child a jinx and even said that he wanted to put righteousness before family. That’s not righteousness.”
Sheng Lingfeng snorted and scolded, “That’s inhumane!”
Yu Huang raised her eyebrows and looked at Sheng Lingfeng. She thought to herself, “That’s right!”
Yu Huang asked calmly, “Then what happened to the black fox?”
“As far as I know, the mother and son didn’t manage to escape from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan in the end. Before they died, the dying Patriarch’s wife actually threw the child into the Time Valley in despair. She would rather the child be strangled by the chaotic energy in the Time Valley than let him be taken away by the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.”
“By the way.” Sheng Lingfeng thought of something and said, “The Nine-Tailed Fox that I told you about before has awakened a portion of the divine beast bloodline and three lives, and is the child of the old patriarch and his second wife.”
“The eldest son is the Scourge Black Fox, but the second son is the only genius who awakened a portion of the divine beast bloodline a thousand years later. The old patriarch’s love for the second son is really…” Sheng Lingfeng shook his head and sighed with emotion.” They really have different treatment despite having the same father. ”
Back then, Yu Huang had encountered that group of Nine-Tailed Foxes on the Doomsday Battlefield. When she heard them repeatedly call the ‘black fox’ a ‘dirty and lowly jinx’, she thought about her G.o.dfather’s black fur and vaguely guessed the Grand State Master’s background and ident.i.ty.
Now that she learned about the Grand State Master’s childhood from Sheng Lingfeng, Yu Huang’s heart ached for him even more.
What natural jinx?
The black fox she knew wasn’t a jinx.
As a child who had been abandoned and hunted by his clansmen since he was young and had grown up alone in the alternate world like an orphan, not only did the Grand State Master not go down the wrong path, but he had even sacrificed his life for the Holy Spirit Continent.
He was clearly the kindest fox in the world!
“Father, the Grand State Master is from the Demon Beast Continent and is also a black fox. This morning, he even successfully summoned the phantom fox in front of us. Do you think it’s possible that he’s the black fox abandoned by the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan two thousand years ago? Could the phantom fox he summoned be the ancestor of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?”
“Could he be the Psychic Divine Fox?!”
Yu Huang’s bold words stunned Sheng Lingfeng on the spot.
“This…”
“Is that possible?”
Although Sheng Lingfeng knew the legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox, when he was still a child, Mo Xiao was already the Grand State Master of the Divine Moon Empire and one of the only two Prime Masters in the Divine Realm Continent.
Therefore, when Sheng Lingfeng heard the legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Scourge Black Fox on the Demon Beast Continent, he didn’t a.s.sociate the Scourge Black Fox with Mo Xiao.
He had always believed that Mo Xiao was a human. It was only when he discovered a few years ago that Mo Xiao had a deep relationship with She Ying and could enter and exit the Abyssal Origin Forest freely that he suspected that Mo Xiao wasn’t a human but a demon beast.
But now, Yu Huang actually felt that the Grand State Master was a child of the Divine Beast Clan’s Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
Wasn’t it ridiculous?
But.
Her a.n.a.lysis was very reasonable.
Although Sheng Lingfeng said that it was impossible, a voice in his heart said, “Yes, this is true!”
