Qianqian smiled faintly and explained. “Demon Empress, you don’t have to be too surprised. Ten Holly Grand Elders of your clans are standing beside you as well. I promise you that you will never be mistreated in your clan ever again. Moreover, your enemy—which is the clan that annihilated your clan—is captured, waiting for you to go back and revenge yourself.”
“Holly Grand Elders?”
Demon Empress only saw the painting of Tuoba Qin before. All the White Fox Clansmen had seen it before, and many White Foxes put it up at home and worshiped it day and night. However, she had never seen these ten Holly Grand Elders before. Right now, when she realized that they were those ten people surrounding her and when one of them personally changed and treated her, she was so shocked that she didn’t know what to do for a moment. In the White Fox Race, she was just a nobody at the bottom of society. To her, even the Clan Head of her small tribe was an extremely important person—let alone ten Holly Grand Elders.
“Tuoba Ning sends her greetings to ten Holly Grand Elders!”
Her hands trembled slightly. Dragging her leg that was yet to heal, she tried her best to support herself and was going to kneel at the ten Elders. They were frightened by her actions and held her quickly. One female Elder said in embarrassment, “Tuoba Ning, please don’t. You are friends of these lords and will be our sister. Perhaps… Thearch will let you be her little sister!”
Plop!
Demon Empress went soft and almost fainted.
Another Elder exacerbated the matter. He got closer to Demon Empress, pointed at the battle in the distant sky, and said, “Tuoba Ning, do you know the man fighting with Lord Black Deity? He is an Thearch of the Black Fox Race. Precisely to save you, Lord Black Deity and his group broke out fighting with the Black Fox Clan. You need to thank these lords.”
Roar!
As they spoke, Black Deity let out a deafening shock again before spitting out a series of black energy waves. He rushed into the energy waves too, turned into a black cloud, and sprinted forward. He looked like a comet and carried an extremely terrifying aura. Even though he was tens of kilometers away, everyone felt their soul spirits tremble. Demon Empress and many salve miners lost conscious due to the impact.
“No…”
Hei Hu shouted furiously and unwillingly before being shrouded by the black cloud. Although the other female Thearch started running a while ago, the black cloud was moving too fast and devoured the two instantly. Following that, the auras of them gradually disappeared, along with the black cloud. Black Deity’s body condensed in front.
“Humph, very few Demon Sovereigns in the Endless Deep Sea can withstand Uncle Black’s World-Extinguishing Black Dragon Waves, and these two still dreamed to escape?!”
Qianqian laughed softly, and on the other hand, ten Grand Elders and Jiang Yi were overwhelmed with all kinds of thoughts and emotions. Everyone smelled death in the black cloud falling like a comet. If they were caught by the cloud, they would also be left with nothing.
“Lord Black Deity’s power is unparalleled; Tuoba Qin is awestruck with admiration!”
Tuoba Qin’s entire whole began quivering from excitement. Hei Hu was dead, along with another Empress. Even though the last one escaped via the underground route, he was the weakest. Even Tuoba Qin could kill him effortlessly on her own, let alone she was working with a Blue Fox Thearch.
The Black Fox Race was the most powerful and owed the largest territory. Right now, this large land belonged to them. If Black Deity and his group didn’t come all of a sudden, they would be lucky if their clan was not wiped out—let alone seizing the territory of the Black Fox Race!
“Lord Black Deity’s power is unparalleled! We are all awestruck with admiration!”
Ten Grand Elders all shouted in a deep voice. They really knelt. They were convinced by the might of the greatest demon and were grateful to Black Deity for killing two absolute masters including Hei Hu.
Black Deity waved his hand impatiently and said, “Alright, cut the useless words. Go back to your Imperial City and arrange everything as quick as possible. I have to rush back to the Endless Deep Sea!”
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand, and everyone rose up to the sky. One female Elder carried Demon Empress on her back. They didn’t care about the other White Foxes, Blue Foxes, and slave miners. Jiang Yi’s business was the most important thing. They could attack the Blue Fox slowly. Anyway, since Hei Hu was dead now, no one could stop Tuoba Qin now.
A group of men flew to the White Fox Race’s Imperial City in a mighty contingent. They encountered a lot of Black Fox Heaven Monarchs flying towards them, too. This time, Black Deity didn’t have to act as Tuoba Qin could kill them with ease.
It took them 16 hours to return to the Imperial City. Tuoba Qin attended to them personally. One female Elder continued to treat Demon Empress. She even got a special anti-aging elixir and gave it to Demon Empress. Demon Empress’s demon core was destroyed, and so it was impossible to maintain her beautiful and youthful look in the past. She just kept taking these special elixirs in the long term to preserve her youthfulness.
Jiang Yi waited for a while. Then he saw Demon Empress was almost recovered, with much fewer scars on her face. Her appearance was somewhat restored. Even though she was not as glamorous as before, she looked decent now. Jiang Yi’s Thearch Palace flashed on his hand before Jiang Xiaonu held Xiao Fei and appeared in the inner sanctum.
Once Xiao Fei got out, she looked around and asked Jiang Yi hurriedly, “Big brother, have you found my mother?”
“Xiao Fei!”
When Demon Empress—who was sitting on the bed—heard Xiao Fei’s words and felt her familiar scent, she instantly burst into floods of tears and cried out. Xiao Fei turned stiff, turned around quickly, and saw Demon Empress on the bed. Her petite body shook slightly before burying herself in Demon Empress’s arms and crying.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu looked at each other and left the inner sanctum to let them catch up. Outside, Black Deity sat coldly on one side, and Qianqian and Tuoba Qin were chatting quietly on the other side. When they saw Jiang Yi coming out, Tuoba Qin got up and said sincerely, “Young Master Jiang, I hope that you can leave Xiao Fei and Tuoba Ning in the clan. I promise to treat Tuoba Ning as my sister, and Xiao Fei as my daughter. I will nurture Xiao Fei and help her grow as well. Xiao Fei is likely a divine fox. If she stays in her clan, the rate of her growth will be beyond our imagination. Hei Hu was killed by Lord Black Deity. Even though I can’t promise you that I will unite the Heaven Fox Continent, I can guarantee to keep them safe.”
“This…”
Jiang Yi hesitated. He believed that Tuoba Qin would take good care of Demon Empress and Xiao Fei. With his connection with Black Deity and Qianqian, she would dare to mess around. He previously considered bringing them to the God Bestow City. However, when Tuoba Qin talked about the development of Xiao Fei, he was somewhat troubled.
Xiao Fei took in some soul seeds, leaped to Heaven Monarch Realm, and transformed into human all of a sudden. This was what Jiang Yi saw with his own eyes. Staying here, Xiao Fei had limitless potential. He hesitated for a while and said, “I’m okay with the plan as long as Demon Empress and Xiao Fei agree with you.”
“Alright!”
Tuoba Qin nodded gratefully, waved at an Elder, and said, “Explain the situation to Tuoba Ning. Don’t be forceful, just tell the truth. Whether Tuoba Ning will stay or leave is up to her.”
Tuoba Qin was desperate to keep Demon Empress and Xiao Fei, not only because Xiao Fei might be a divine fox, but also because no one would dare to touch the White Fox Race if they stayed here. Then, she would have a greater chance to unite the Heaven Fox Continent, restore peace in this continent which had been turbulent for hundreds of thousands of years, and make Heaven Fox Continent greater.
