Chapter 705: Confirmation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If Yu Huang’s a.n.a.lysis was true, could the Grand State Master really be a rare Psychic Divine Fox?
This guess made Sheng Lingfeng’s throat feel dry.
He swallowed hard and thought of something. He hurriedly lowered his head and warned Yu Huang sternly, “No matter if this is true or false, we have to seal the news. Even if he’s really a Divine Fox and really has nine lives, we can’t let anyone know about this.”
Sheng Lingfeng patted Yu Huang’s shoulder heavily and said, “Other than you and me, don’t let a third person know.”
When Mo Xiao handed the Spiritual Energy Replacement Bottle to Yu Huang, he might not have known the true use of the Spiritual Energy Replacement Bottle. He only hoped that after he died, he could use the remaining energy to help Yu Huang overcome difficulties and develop further.
Therefore, when Mo Xiao injected his spiritual power into the Spiritual Energy Replacement Bottle, he must have been prepared to die.
Now, everyone in the world knew that Mo Xiao was dead, so ‘that person’ naturally knew as well.
If the news that Mo Xiao could still be revived was leaked, it was inevitable that more trouble would arise.
Therefore, blocking the news was the wisest thing to do.
Yu Huang naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. “I understand. I have to go to the abyss now.” Whether Mo Xiao was a Psychic Divine Fox or not, she would know after going to the abyss.
Sheng Lingfeng nodded and said, “If you’re sure, send me a box of Longjing green tea sold exclusively in Rakshasa City. If not, send me a box of black tea.”
“Okay.”
Sheng Lingfeng removed the soundproof cover and deliberately said with a straight face, “The situation is tense now, and a battle is imminent. There’s no time for you to mourn for the dead. It’s better for you and Xiao’er to return to the Holy Spirit Academy as soon as possible and cultivate diligently. I hope you can become more powerful. At that time, you can contribute to the continent.”
Yu Huang glanced at Sheng Lingfeng and said, “Okay, Dad.”
After bidding farewell to Sheng Lingfeng, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao went to the airport together and took the earliest flight back to Rakshasa City.
On the plane, Yu Huang told Sheng Xiao, “When we reach Rakshasa City, accompany me to the abyss first. We’ll go back to the academy together.”
Sheng Xiao thought that Yu Huang wanted to see Mo Xiao one last time. He thought about the hostile relationship between the demon beasts and the cultivation world. He hesitated and said, “If the demon beasts attack, it will be difficult for us to defeat them.” Not only would we be unable to defeat them, but we would also be crushed by them.
Yu Huang said firmly, “No, we can go in.”
Thinking that She Ying loved Mo Xiao deeply and might be tolerant of Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao did not dissuade Yu Huang anymore. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
“Okay.”
They took a flight and arrived at Rakshasa City at noon the next day.
After leaving the Rakshasa City airport, Yu Huang drove to the Abyssal Origin Forest with Sheng Xiao. They only arrived at the periphery of the abyss when it was almost dark.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao parked the car on the gra.s.s. Just as they jumped out of the SUV, they heard the roars of demon beasts coming from the forest.
It was the demon beasts warning the humans from approaching their territory.
Yu Huang did not rashly approach the forest. She closed her eyes and silently released her spiritual power fluctuations. That overbearing spiritual power aura followed the forest and entered the center of the abyss. Before long, an even colder and stronger regal aura spread out from the center.
It was She Ying’s demonic power.
Her demonic power was as cold and eerie as a snake.
After those low-level and intermediate-level demon beasts received She Ying’s order, they calmed down.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao looked at each other. Sheng Xiao hugged Yu Huang and carried her in the air. After Sheng Xiao broke through to the Grand Master realm, he could teleport a thousand meters away in an instant. It only took them ten minutes to reach She Ying.
“She’s nearby,” Yu Huang said.
Sheng Xiao landed in a forest with Yu Huang.
The two of them ran on foot in the dense forest. In a few minutes, they saw a green lake. The lake was covered in mist. There was a rainbow that emitted a charming glow in the sunlight while hidden in the mist. At the end of the lake, there was a small mountain that rose from the ground.
Flowers bloomed on the mountain, and layers of white clouds lingered in the sky. As far as the eye could see, it was like a paradise.
She Ying, who was dressed in plain white, was standing at the foot of the mountain. She looked at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao tiredly.
“Senior She Ying.” Yu Huang noticed that there were traces of soil in She Ying’s hand. She guessed a possibility and asked in a low voice, “You’ve already buried G.o.dfather?”
She Ying lowered her head and looked at the black soil on her slender hands. She smiled sadly and muttered, “I entered his cave abode yesterday and realized that he had already prepared a coffin for himself.” She Ying gestured with her hand. Her eyes were red as she said, “When he was lying in a coffin, he looked so small…”
Yu Huang held She Ying’s wrist tightly and felt her hands trembling. Her heart ached as she hugged She Ying and comforted her with a choked voice, “G.o.dmother, don’t be like this. My heart aches when I see this.”
When She Ying heard Yu Huang call her G.o.dmother, she burst into tears.
Sheng Xiao walked away quietly and asked Yu Huang to talk to She Ying.
After She Ying cried until she couldn’t shed tears anymore, Yu Huang asked, “Can I pay my respects to my G.o.dfather?”
She Ying could reject anyone’s request, but she couldn’t reject Yu Huang’s.
Mo Xiao had never gotten married and had children in his life. His adopted daughter, Yu Huang, was his child. How could She Ying reject Yu Huang’s request?
“Alright, follow me.”
She Ying took off the key on her neck and inserted it into the void.
There was clearly nothing in the void, but Yu Huang heard the sound of the lock being opened. After opening the door, She Ying tore open the barrier and took a step forward. She turned around and said to Yu Huang, “Ah Huang, please come in.”
The barrier door set up by the Prime Master could only be entered after receiving the door owner’s invitation. If one forcefully entered, they would be devoured by the barrier. At best, they would be severely injured, and at worst, they would die.
Yu Huang walked towards She Ying. The moment she entered the barrier, the environment around Yu Huang changed.
Behind her, there was still the lake and the flowers, but in front of her, there was a deserted gra.s.sland filled with weeds. At the front of the weeds, there was a small stone door. On the stone tablet in front of the stone door, the words “Fox Cave” had been carved with spiritual power.
The more majestic the words were, the more shabby the fox cave looked in comparison.
In front of the fox cave, there was a small grave. The soil above the grave was fresh.
Clearly, that was Mo Xiao’s grave.
She Ying quickly walked to the grave and picked up a stone slab on the ground. She said, “I haven’t thought of what to carve.” She stared at the stone and said in pain, “From the moment I engraved the tablet, I truly came to terms with the fact that he really died.”
Without the tablet, could she still deceive herself into thinking that Mo Xiao was still alive.
Yu Huang knelt down in front of the grave and respectfully kowtowed three times to the grave. After kowtowing, Yu Huang suddenly raised her head and said to She Ying, “G.o.dmother, I want to dig up the grave to take a look.”
She Ying’s expression instantly became menacing and sinister when she heard this. “What did you say?” She Ying frowned as she looked at Yu Huang. Her snake eyes were as cold as frost, and it made Yu Huang shudder.
Yu Huang braced herself and said, “I want to check my G.o.dfather’s body.”
She Ying immediately frowned. “Check his body? What are you suspecting? Are you worried that I’ll eat him?” She Ying misinterpreted Yu Huang’s words and sneered. “Do you think I’ll eat the corpses of divine demons to increase my cultivation level, like humans? Our demon beast race has never done these evil things!”
Seeing that She Ying had misunderstood, Yu Huang hurriedly explained, “G.o.dmother, don’t be angry. I’m not suspecting you. I just discovered something. I need to see my G.o.dfather’s corpse and verify it further.” After saying that, Yu Huang asked again, “Will we be eavesdropped when we talk in the barrier?”
When She Ying saw that Yu Huang’s expression was very serious, she realized that she had made a major discovery. Only then did the anger in her heart dissipate a little. “This is the little fox’s private barrier. No one outside the barrier will know anything that happens in the barrier or what is said.”
Yu Huang was relieved.
“G.o.dmother, I think it’s very likely that G.o.dfather is a Psychic Divine Fox.”
“A Psychic Divine Fox?” She Ying had never heard of such a creature. She frowned and said, “What is that?”
Yu Huang stared at She Ying and said, “G.o.dmother, if I’m not wrong, G.o.dfather isn’t a demon from the Holy Spirit Continent, but a divine beast of the Demon Beast Clan’s Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, right?”
She Ying nodded hesitantly. “That’s right. The little fox wandered to the Holy Spirit Continent not long after it was born. What has this got to do with him being a Psychic Divine Fox?”
From She Ying’s words, she confirmed that Mo Xiao was really from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Yu Huang was even more certain that her G.o.dfather was a Psychic Divine Fox.
She told She Ying, “Among the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, there is a kind of peerless genius that is rarely seen in a thousand years. They are called Psychic Divine Foxes. Psychic Divine Foxes are foxes that have awakened the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox Divine Beast, and what is even more magical about Psychic Divine Foxes is that they have nine lives.”
She Ying’s eyes widened when she heard this, and her voice suddenly rose. “What did you say?! Nine lives?”
