Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wuhu, Immortal Fox Village, along with the cities in the circular area around them could see a very dazzling and distinct red light in the sky. It covered most of the sky as if it was blood that could not be washed away.

Once that phenonon appeared, all the players who had been asking for a fortune telling from diviners were shocked to find that the old n who had been focused and calmly calculating with their fingers suddenly cast aside whatever they were doing and stand up abruptly with panic on their faces. They stared into the distant red clouds that seed to be crying blood in the distance with quivering lips.

“This is the blood light! Once it appears, a great disaster is bound to happen!”

“How can this be?”

“How can this be?!”

Then, they lowered their heads and began calculating madly. The frown between their eyebrows grew deeper, and their facial expressions grew more unpleasant. The players on the streets were baffled.

It would have been fine if only one diviner had acted this way, but all the diviners in the cities and near them acted in a similar manner. All of them abandoned the business they were conducting at that mont and paid attention only to the matter of the bloodlight!

Soon, various rumors erupted in the cities!

All the players began guessing that sothing major had to have happened.

Many people then received a request from the diviners to vanquish a demon and protect the path of justice.

“The fox monster has run wild! She will bring about disaster to all lives! The whole world must get ready to face the disaster of death! We call upon the heroes of the world to gather in Wuhu and work together to get rid of the fox monster who has entered the path of demons and prove that justice will prevail!”

“Fox monster?”

“As expected, sothing major has happened in Immortal Fox Village.”

An increasing number of people got to know what happened from the information they gathered from the diviners. The matter had started in Fox Cave, and there was a high possibility that it was related to the operation of the big sects!

Cities went into commotion, and countless players sent ssenger pigeons to each other! While the news spread, large groups of people ford parties and headed out to Immortal Fox Village and Fox Cave. There was a magnificent number of players outside the city, and not a single one could be found in the cities! Such a grand scene had never been seen before!

More than one thousand players outside the Guanlin Temple in Immortal Fox Village beca the first batch of players who suffered through the tribulation. They were mostly people who had co after Hu Mu to Fox Cave when she began to act strangely. They surrounded her and tried nonstop to find a chance to trigger the quest, but...

The quest that they expected had indeed been triggered, but unfortunately for them, they were not the ones who did it!

A forlorn and piercing howl rose into the air, and Hu Mu suddenly turned into a married woman with a curvaceous body. Imdiately after, a red demonic aura enveloped her body while her eyes turned red. Right under countless players’ terrified gazes, she turned into a coquettish but terrifying nine-tailed fox. The mighty montum that broke through the limits posed on her by her body enveloped the entire forest, and it oppressed the players nearby so much that they could not move.

Hu Mu struck the ground with all nine of her tails.

The ground rumbled, and dirt flew everywhere. The stones that were sent flying did so with a powerful force and shot out in every direction. The nurous players spread in a wide area were shot full of holes by the sharp stones. Their bodies then resembled a sh, and their blood poured continuously out of their bodies.

The Nine-tailed Fox went completely berserk!

All those who went near her were killed instantly. Even the people at the edge of the forest were not spared. She was so fast that even hearing about it was shocking. She instantly arrived behind the players, and her claws tore through their weapons. All those who ca in contact with her were torn to shreds, as if the Nine-tailed Fox was a pair of scissors, and they were paper. They were easily ripped apart, and their blood sprayed everywhere. The Nine-tailed Fox’s claws contained the power of Wind Spirit Spin, and it swept everywhere. Every single ti the woman attacked, there were more than just one or two people who would fall. Instead, a large group of players would die.

The Nine-tailed Fox was fast and brutal.

She jumped into an area dense with players and struck out. Wherever she went, she did not stop to kill, because she could kill as she moved. Just like that, whenever Nine-tailed Fox approached an area inside or outside the forest, the players fell to the ground like harvested wheat.

More than one thousand people died or were scattered in an instant. Only a few people were lucky enough to escape from that hell on earth. They stood one-third of a mile away while trembling and not daring to approach the forest.

*****

When the Fox Cave Yao Hua’s wife had created with her illusions crumbled, the effects of the illusion were lost, and the surroundings changed. Alarge group of players returned to the forest from Fox Cave.

Because of it, the second wave of slaughter began!

“Run!”

When they saw that a large group of players had stirred up the Nine-tailed Fox’s ruthless and rciless killing intent because they had coveted Yao Hua’s corpse, Dream Clouds, Wind Void, Musical Note, and the rest noticed just how bad their situation was. They cried out and retreated without hesitation. All of them moved like lightning.

Once the people from the three great sects retreated, the group which had been moving to Yao Hua’s weapons from the side and the back beca the targets of the Nine-tailed Fox.

Whoosh!

The cruel and rciless red light flashed in the Nine-tailed Fox’s eyes, and she shot through the players who had been flying through the air to reach Yao Hua. She arrived right in front of Yao Hua’s corpse ahead of them, and the killing intent in her body was quickly reduced by a large margin.

Half a second later, the players who had frozen in the air scread in fright and broke down into countless bits.

Dream Clouds and the rest of the group managed to leave the dangerous place. They sucked in a sharp breath while filled with fear. They felt like they had just brushed shoulders with the God of Death and did not dare to stay around for even one second longer.

They knew that the matter had not co to an end just then!

The Nine-tailed Fox had only stopped for a mont because she saw Yao Hua’s corpse. Once she realized that it was impossible for her to resurrect him, the slaughter they witnessed just then would beco just an insignificant prelude to the main event that was bound to co.

As expected, when they were less than one hundred and nine yards away from the forest...

Boom!

Lightning crackled in the horizon, and a thunderous boom rose into the air. The color of the world changed!

“Who killed my Yao Hua?!”

A hysterical and absolutely livid howl sliced through the sky in a forlorn and bitter manner. The shrill sound wave shook the entire land, and screams of pain rose and fell in the forest.

However, it only lasted for a few seconds before silence returned.

“RUN!”

The expressions of the people who had been running away changed. They felt a pair of eyes threatening death lock on their bodies in the abnormal silence. A powerful suction force affected their bodies, and their speed was drastically reduced. Imdiately after, a murderous aura that filled the entire area rushed at them from behind.

The nine fiery-red fox tails swayed madly. The fox monster’s face had a brutal expression, and only hatred and anger were left in the red pupils!

“She’s too fast!”

“Split up!”

No one knew who made the suggestion, but right when it was spoken, the people from the three great sects quickly split into three groups and headed into three different directions. The nine-tailed Fox bared her teeth and fixed her eyes on one of the groups without any hesitation.

“Damn it!”

The group with Dream Clouds, Wind Void, and Musical Note was ford in haste, but all the mbers had chosen it for the highest survivability rate. None of them had been targeted by Nine-tailed Fox, and they ran one hundred and nine yards away before they summoned their horses. Then, they snapped their reins and urged their mounts to rush forward! There was still a grave and anxious expression that refused to go away on their faces. Even though the Nine-tailed Fox had been lured away from them, they were still unable to tell whether they could shake off the Nine-tailed Fox just like that.

“Just what realm is she in?! She’s so damn powerful!”

“Bastard! She killed more than thirty of our brothers!”

The people cursed up a storm while they were on their horses. Based on the information the system gave them, they ca to know that the ones after whom the Nine-tailed Fox had went were all slaughtered.

Each group was a mix of people from the three great sects. However, since Class One Hall and Chivalry Sect had the greatest number of people in each group, they were also the ones who suffered the most devastating losses. Towering Palace was luckier in this regard. They lost less than fifteen people.

However, the sight of a large number of their own sect’s elites dying was sothing no one wanted to see.

“Whoever wants Yao Hua’s divine weapons, you can go ahead and take it! Chivalry Sect has given up on it! Let’s go!”

Wind Void’s face was dark. She called out to her n, and the people from Chivalry Sect left with a trail of dust behind them.

Dream Clouds and Musical Note turned their heads around and cast a glance at the forest which had returned to calm while sitting on their speeding horses. Complicated expressions filled with the refusal to give up up appeared on their faces.
