Chapter 832: The Origin of the Black Fox Scourge
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Kunlun, take me away.”
Upon hearing Mo Jing’s words, the Prime Masters who were still conscious immediately felt that something was wrong. They watched helplessly as Mo Jing’s body was surrounded by a murderous undead power. In the next second, Mo Jing’s figure disappeared from the world.
“Mo Jing is missing!”
Before the battle, the old Prime Master who had stood up to question Mo Jing struggled to his feet. He pointed at the place where Mo Jing had disappeared and said in fear, “Before Mo Jing disappeared, he chanted an incantation and was praying for Kunlun to take him away! Could it be that Kunlun is not dead?!”
“Could it be that Mo Jing used some method to revive Kunlun?”
The others who were injured but still able to move also got up one after another. They looked at the place Mo Jing disappeared from with fear and dread written on their faces. Suddenly, the old Prime Master said, “Let’s go and capture everyone from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan! If Mo Jing can kill all the genius disciples of the hundred sects, we can kill all the clansmen of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!”
“I want to see if he will still hide after seeing his clansmen die because of him!”
Upon hearing this old man’s suggestion, although some people hesitated, due to their fear and hatred of Mo Jing, they still rushed towards the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
When they came, they were aggressive, but when they left, they were in a sorry state. Only the large area of blood-stained ground was warning everyone that a famous battle of the G.o.ds had happened here.
However, the illusion was still not over.
Yu Huang and the others saw that the blood on the ground had been completely absorbed by the bamboo in the forest. The next spring, many fresh bamboo shoots appeared in the bamboo forest. At this moment, an old man in a black robe led a group of teenage boys and girls into the bamboo forest.
The old man walked towards the bamboo forest. Without a word, he took out his weapon and cut down all the bamboo in the bamboo forest. Then, he completely pushed down the two-story bamboo house. Then, he set fire to the place where Mo Jing lived.
This group of people stood beside the burning bamboo forest. Their expressions were filled with despair and deep hatred.
The old man said, “From now on, no one is allowed to mention Mo Jing’s name again!”
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, “The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was implicated by Mo Jing this time and our entire clan was almost exterminated. Everyone, remember, the black nine-tailed fox is a jinx. He will bring calamity to our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan! In the future, if a black nine-tailed fox is born in our clan, we must kill it in its infancy!”
“Yes!”
Only when the last flame was extinguished and Mo Jing’s last trace in this world was erased did this group of people leave.
At this moment, the illusion finally ended.
In Yu Huang’s ears, the old man’s words were still echoing in her ears. Previously, in the Doomsday Battlefield, the members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan treated the black nine-tailed fox as a jinx. Her adoptive father was even almost strangled to death by his biological father the moment he was born. Could all of this be traced back to this period?
“Sigh…”
A sorrowful sigh pulled Yu Huang back to her senses.
When Yu Huang and the others heard this sorrowful sigh, they raised their heads in surprise and discovered that the environment around them had completely changed.
There was no bamboo forest, no peach trees, and no embroidered fox cloak fluttering in the wind.
The world they were in was pitch black.
And this sorrowful sigh came from the depths of the darkness.
Sheng Xiao subconsciously held Yu Huang’s hand with his left hand and Feng Yuncheng’s hand with his right. Feng Yuncheng held Donor’s hand while Kunlun held Yu Huang’s hand.
The five of them held each other’s hands and walked towards the pitch-black world.
They walked like this for a long time before they heard a second sigh—
“Sigh.”
Everyone was confused again.
Not knowing who was sighing, they stared at their surroundings warily.
Boom!
A beam of light suddenly shot towards Yu Huang and the others from above.
Yu Huang and the others narrowed their eyes and slowly opened them again. They saw a skeleton sitting with a sword under the light.
Under Yu Huang and the others’ gazes, flesh and blood suddenly grew on the white skeleton. Soon, the skeleton turned into Mo Jing.
Mo Jing held a bamboo-shaped stick sword in his right hand. He was tilting his head and pressing his forehead against his sword.
Mo Jing looked like a real person, but Yu Huang could sense an extremely dense undead aura from him. She immediately realized that this person was just a wisp of consciousness that Mo Jing had left in the Reincarnation Mirror.
After recognizing the person, Sheng Xiao and the others quickly knelt down and bowed to Mo Jing respectfully.
Mo Jing looked at them silently for a long time before muttering to himself, “Even if the entire world doubts me and slanders me, his world will always have a door open for me. He will help me escape. My friend Kunlun never lies to me.”
Yu Huang and the others didn’t say anything. They only lowered their heads and listened quietly.
They understood that Mo Jing wasn’t talking to them. He just missed his good friend.
“I’ve known Kunlun since I was in the Beast Tamer Academy. He was rash and aggressive, but he never killed innocent people. I’m evil and c.o.c.ky. I seem easy to talk to, but I’m actually a very paranoid person. I’m very honored and satisfied to have a good friend like Kunlun.”
“But after he died, I could never get over it. Regarding this, I always wanted to do something…” However, Mo Jing stopped talking about what he had done.
Mo Jing looked at the five youths kneeling in front of him with a playful gaze. There were humans, elves, and an ape in their team. These were a few races that were completely unrelated, but an incomparably deep friendship had developed between them.
Mo Jing suddenly smiled. He asked Yu Huang and the others, “Do you know what the Reincarnation Mirror is?”
Yu Huang and the others shook their heads.
Sheng Xiao said respectfully, “Senior, please enlighten us.”
Mo Jing said, “Letting Kunlun leave and die alone was something I regretted even until my death. This Reincarnation Mirror is a Time Mirror that I burned with my Divine Master skeleton. My original intention was to use it to return to the night when Kunlun bade farewell to me. I wanted to tell Kunlun that I believed his guess and was willing to fight alongside him.”
“But I’m not a powerful blacksmith. In the end, I still failed and accidentally made it into an endless Reincarnation Mirror.”
Hearing this, Yu Huang couldn’t help but say boldly, “Kunlun Divine Master’s world will always be open to you. This means that in his heart, you will always be his best friend. So, please don’t take it to heart.”
Mo Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly. “How can I let it go? He clearly guessed everything correctly. He guessed that I wouldn’t be able to escape death either, so he planned to use his death to exchange for a safe place for me! What right do I have to be treated like this by him?! He treated me so sincerely, but I questioned him back then and even let him face everything alone.”
“I’ve let Kunlun down.”
Yu Huang lowered her head even more when she heard this and didn’t reply.
Mo Jing looked at them and said, “To those who are disloyal and selfish, it is indeed a mirror that can create endless reincarnation. However, to those who value friendship and are willing to go through fire and water for their friends, the Reincarnation Mirror is a mirror that can create miracles.”
“The moment you resolutely jumped into the Reincarnation Mirror, you pa.s.sed the test of the Reincarnation Mirror.” Mo Jing smiled weakly but with relief. “Only those who can obtain the recognition of the Reincarnation Mirror have the chance to summon the remnant consciousness of Kunlun and obtain the inheritance of Kunlun Divine Master.”
Yu Huang’s heart skipped a beat. She thought that if Xiao Shu was here, he would definitely be overjoyed.
However, Xiao Shu was a cautious person. Even if he was with Yu Huang, he might not jump into the Reincarnation Mirror to save Estelle. In this world, there were very few people who were worthy of Xiao Shu risking his life, and Estelle was definitely not one of them.
Mo Jing said, “The half-blood demon you’re looking for has indeed fallen into the Reincarnation Mirror.”
Half-blood demon?
Was he talking about the Night Elf Estelle?
Yu Huang asked curiously, “Senior, is the half-blood demon you’re talking about a dark-skinned, ugly man with a pair of black wings on his back?”
Mo Jing frowned slightly. “What, you don’t even know that your friend is a half-blooded demon?”
