An indescribable demonic power was surging wildly in the body of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe. It was a power far beyond the King Realm that could shake heaven and earth. He struggled desperately, trying to stand up in the strange blue divine light, but he was not able to resist it at all. This power seemed to be able to suppress the Green Fox Tribe naturally. It was impossible for anyone of the Green Fox Tribe to resist it, no matter how strong he or she was.
“Why haven’t you triggered the Dummy Spell yet?”
He glanced at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe and shouted angrily.
The latter secretly activated the Dummy Spell he had cast, kneeling on the ground and gritting his teeth.
“Fortunately, I was prepared for this a long time ago. I cast a Dummy Spell on every candidate for atavistic transformation. Even if they succeeded, they would still be at my disposal. I…”
He activated his secret skill as he spoke.
Several lines of blood burst out from his ten fingers and darted toward Bi Yan’s head, neck, limbs, waist, and abdomen.
These lines of blood were like the threads that controlled a puppet.
The blue divine light emanating from Bi Yan’s body seemed to be unable to block these lines of blood.
“Watch out.”
Li Mu was about to thrust his broadsword.
He instinctively knew it was very likely that these lines like puppet threads would be a great disadvantage to Bi Yan.
However, Bi Yan just smiled.
Without turning around, she stretched out her hand.
The thin lines of blood instantly gathered into Bi Yan’s soft, tender, and white palm like iron wires attracted to a magnet and turned into a slowly spinning blood-red ball.
“No matter how good you are at calculating, there are always things beyond your control.”
Bi Yan turned around and looked at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe as if she were looking down at an ant.
Blue flames swirled in her palm, directly melting the blood-red ball and turning it into ashes.
“No. That’s impossible.”
The young master opened his eyes wide like a dead fish.
“How could my secret Bloody Spell be broken so easily?
“How could that be possible?”
As the blood-red ball was melted, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and blood spurted out of his mouth. He suddenly became dispirited, as if the power in his body had been drawn away.
When the chief of the Green Fox Tribe saw this scene, his heart sank.
“This is a counterattack. The Dummy Spell is useless now.
“What power of ancestral bloodline has this girl acquired this time? It is said that the Dummy Bloody Spell can fully control the atavistic transformation. How could it have been broken so easily?
“We are in big trouble.”
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe had experienced so many bizarre and mysterious things, so he clearly knew what it meant when a Green Fox who had completed the atavistic transformation got out of control.
Especially when Bi Yan’s atavistic transformation was obviously purer and more primitive than any previous bloodline atavism.
“What am I going to do?”
Although he was strong, his mind went blank.
By this time, Li Mu had realized that after Bi Yan completed her atavistic transformation, she had become so powerful that she didn’t need his protection at all.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe had set a tricky trap, but it was meaningless to Bi Yan.
Now that things turned out this way, the Green Fox Tribe had lost control over everything.
“Young Master, thank you very much. If you had not showed up out of nowhere at the critical moment and helped me break through my congenital and postnatal limits, acquire the bloodline with the same purity as that of my ancestors and gain their bloodline memory and power, I wouldn’t have been able to break free from the control of the Dummy Bloody Spell. I’m afraid that, like my peers who have completed the atavistic transformation before, I will end up being controlled and deprived of the original source of power and becoming a puppet controlled by others… Young Master, you have saved me once again.”
Bi Yan turned around and looked at Li Mu, with tears streaming slowly down her face.
Li Mu raised his hand subconsciously and wiped tears off her face.
Her pretty face felt soft and slightly cold, like suet white jade, making Li Mu’s heart skip a beat.
“We are friends. I have done what I should.” After saying that, Li Mu suddenly thought that it might be a little inappropriate to touch her face, so he hurriedly tried to withdraw his hand.
However, Bi Yan raised her hand and grabbed Li Mu’s hand. She pressed her face into his palm and gently rubbed the back of his hand.
There was an inexplicable, happy and satisfied look on her exquisitely beautiful face.
“If possible, I don’t want to be your friend.”
Bi Yan was smiling while crying.
Li Mu was stunned.
He didn’t know why, but he could feel a kind of deep sorrow flowing silently from Bi Yan’s heart to her cold little hand.
Li Mu, however, was not good at comforting people at all.
In particular, he was not good at comforting such an incomparably enchanting beauty in tears.
“Thank you, Young Master.”
With a smile on her face, Bi Yan raised her head and looked into Li Mu’s eyes.
With that, she slowly backed away.
“You?” Li Mu looked at her in confusion.
“Young Master, I can’t go with you. Please don’t blame me.”
Bi Yan was crying while smiling.
“I’m sorry. I’ve got to stop here. I can’t go farther with you.
“You drew your knife for me and made an enemy of the entire Green Fox Tribe for me.
“For the sake of me, you didn’t hesitate to fight to the death.
“But I’m sorry, Young Master. I can’t go with you.
“Please forgive me for being so selfish and willful. That’s why I didn’t take action until just now.
“I just want to experience the feeling of being protected and cared for by you.
“I want to know how it feels to let you hold my hand and lead me to run wildly on the vast land beneath our feet in the wind that blows through our hair, with our sleeves fluttering in the air and white clouds drifting by…
“Perhaps this is the last time in my life I can be so close to you and smell you.”
Her crystal tears fell from the sky.
Bi Yan walked step by step toward the men of the Green Fox Tribe.
Her body gave off blue divine light, and she was like a goddess from the immortal realm.
The phantom of a giant ancient Green Fox with nine tails slowly appeared behind her.
“The Fox God?”
“It’s Green Fox Ancestral God!”
“The Ancestral Fox God has appeared!”
“This is… the power of the primitive ancestral bloodline. She has awakened the power of the most primitive ancestor.”
The experts of the Green Fox Tribe immediately understood.
The face of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe was deathly pale. He suddenly turned his head and stared fixedly at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe was trembling like a criminal to be sentenced.
Bi Yan came up to the men of the Green Fox Tribe and looked down at them.
“Aren’t you going to submit yourselves?”
Her voice sounded like something from the Ninth Heaven that was not to be defied.
At this moment, all the experts of the Green Fox Tribe kowtowed and called out the “Fox God”.
Previously, they had no choice but to kneel down because the blue divine light was suppressing them, but now they were sincerely willing to kneel down and kowtow.
According to the prophecy that had existed for tens of thousands of years in the Green Fox Tribe, the person with the most primitive ancestor’s bloodline would have absolute dominance over the Green Fox Tribe. The chief and elders of the tribe must bow their heads in worship, and even the elders in the Green Fox Temple had to bow their heads.
The person who possessed the bloodline of the most primitive ancestor, regardless of gender and background, would dominate the Green Fox Tribe.
The reason was that the most primitive ancestor was the Fox God.
For one of the devil races that attached great importance to the inheritance and power of bloodline, such prophecy and legend had a power comparable to that of religious doctrines.
The chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe had no choice but to bow their heads and make their obeisances.
“As your humble descendants and subjects, we pay our highest tribute to you, the great Fox God. We are willing to sacrifice everything for you.”
Bi Yan stood in the void.
The wind was blowing through her long hair.
She was facing away from Li Mu.
She was facing the Green Fox Tribe.
She was a peerless beauty. Thirty thousand Green Foxes all bowed their heads.
Li Mu watched her from a distance, and his heart gradually sank.
He knew Bi Yan would not leave with him.
Having awakened the bloodline of the most primitive ancestor of the Green Fox Tribe and manifested the Spirit of the Fox God, Bi Yan not only obtained the mighty power to suppress and control the Green Fox Tribe, but also acquired the memories contained in the bloodline and saw the past events archived in the dust of history.
At the moment the Fox God’s bloodline flowed into the little fox girl’s body, she already took on something that shouldn’t be shouldered by her.
As for Li Mu, from the moment he emerged on the Earth, he was destined to carry the fate of six billion living creatures of the Earth on his shoulders, no matter whether he was willing or not.
He suddenly understood why Bi Yan cried and felt sad.
When she walked to the numerous experts of the Green Fox Tribe and stood in front of them to receive their worship and kowtows, it was destined that the former innocent little fox girl would never appear again.
She was no longer the little fox demoness, Bi Yan.
She was the God of Green Fox.
Li Mu smiled.
He waved at Bi Yan’s back from the distance.
“Goodbye, my friend.”
He turned around and left the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe like a beam of light.
Without the experts of the Green Fox Tribe in the way, it was not difficult for Li Mu to leave.
What happened here today might never be known to the people in the world outside, but many people would always remember it.
Bi Yan sensed Li Mu’s leave, and the last teardrop fell from her eye.
Then, the look on her face gradually became calm and cold.
“Do you confess to your crime?” she asked, looking at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe panicked. “I do, I’m sorry… Please forgive me.”
Bi Yan walked toward the Green Fox Temple step by step.
“As a descendant, you have been speculating on how to obtain the Fox God’s bloodline. Over the years, you have seized the power of other people’s bloodlines using your Dummy Spells and made it your own. You have made up a title of genius for yourself. That’s the most heinous crime you have committed. I should completely destroy your soul so that you will never be reincarnated. However, considering your sincere repentance, I decide to spare you and allow you to serve me. You can be absolved from death penalty, but not from punishment.”
A blue flame was directly injected into the body of the young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
“If you dare to betray me, I will let you live to suffer,” Bi Yan said coldly.
“I wouldn’t dare.” The young master of the Green Fox Tribe shuddered, but he heaved a sigh of relief.
He had finally survived.
All he could do was to behave himself in the future to make the Fox God forgive him.
…
…
When Li Mu returned to the posthouse, the Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, immediately came up to him.
“Young Master, how are things going over there, in the main mansion…” seeing Li Mu coming back safe, he heaved a sigh of relief silently. However, he didn’t see Bi Yan, so he felt that perhaps things had not gone smoothly.
Li Mu said, “Not bad.”
He didn’t want to say much.
Dongfang Piaoliang sensed Li Mu’s unusual mood and hurriedly changed the subject. He said, “Young Master, the ‘God of Sword’, Wang Yanyi, has sent you an invitation. He invites you to go watch a fight at No. 1 Immortal-slaying Platform tomorrow.”
“Um? Watch a fight?” Li Mu was surprised.
He was in too much of a hurry to go to the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe, so he didn’t know about Wang Yanyi’s invitation.
Dongfang Piaoliang told him the whole story.
“Oh?” Li Mu’s eyes lit up. “Well, it’s a big event. I’ll go there.”
Watching a fight between top experts was a rare opportunity.
Then Dongfang Piaoliang told Li Mu the changes in ranking on the new List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions.
“The 16th place?” Li Mu felt a little surprised.
He thought the ranking was a little higher than he had imagined.
