After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 84 83. Slave. Fear (4.0K words - please subscribe)
The "Tiger Clan" is the absolute overlord of the spirit world.
Even though Grandma Fox was at the middle level of the Crimson Palace, and even though she was a temporary overlord among the Three Kingdoms, she became a turtle in a jar after she fell headfirst into the "big mouth" of the "Chen Wang Hu".

Although it was hung upside down, it curled up like a cat with its tail pulled, and frantically tore off the black spots on its body.

But the black spots are increasing.

Soon, it was tied up.

It continued to struggle madly.

But as the whole fox was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, only the ridges on the surface of the black spots moved left and right, as if a weak young girl was resisting in vain with her fists the size of red bean paste buns.

The last scene was the hatred on Grandma Fox's face revealed through the gaps in the black spots, but immediately afterwards another black spot completely obscured that hatred.

Song Yan was also secretly shocked. After digesting the "tiger blood of the accomplice king" and locating the central palace, he had understood a lot of things.

For example, every pattern he had seen on the colorful black shadow before could be regarded as a "soul shackle". As long as one was handcuffed with this shackle, he would become a ghost obeying the orders of "Chan Wang Hu".

In layman's terms, this is equivalent to a "growing, advanced, enhanced version of a die-hard fan"
These minions can help you "guard the home", and their other functions have yet to be tried, but it can be expected that they will have a good enhancing effect in various spell fields such as "shadow puppets, paper figures, illusions", etc., but correspondingly, the benefits of this essence and blood on "physical strength, physical attack" and so on are almost zero.

Normally, a pair of shackles can bind a ghost and turn it into a ghost.

But it took Grandma Fox dozens of shackles to tie it up.

And now, I am still struggling powerlessly.

In a flash, many thoughts flashed through my mind.
Bang!
Grandma Fox's body fell to the ground, but because she had lost her soul, she had become a corpse.

Song Yan carefully felt around in the grandmother's arms, found a storage ring and threw it into her arms, then picked up the grandmother's body.
Upon closer inspection, they saw that the grandmother's body was covered with wounds, especially on her left shoulder, where there was a "black bruise that was spreading to the surrounding area at a speed visible to the naked eye." No one knew who she had fought with.

He had no way to touch the black scar for the moment, and didn't want to touch it, so he had to pull it off as if removing rotten flesh, and ripped off the grandmother's left arm along with the wound.

The black wound spread rapidly and instantly covered the grandmother's left arm.

When the wind blew, the left arm turned into ashes and scattered, leaving no trace in this world.

Song Yan's pupils constricted, but he was secretly glad at the same time.

If the grandmother had not been covered in wounds and extremely weak, if he had not broken through to the Crimson Palace realm and had not kept many trump cards, the outcome of this battle would have been completely overturned.

As his thoughts turned, he quickly stuffed the one-armed grandmother into the storage space, and then his spiritual consciousness suddenly spread out and began to search the surroundings.

At this time, if there are still monks around, he will kill them without hesitation.

But this was the ferry where he and his grandmother chose to escape. It was very deserted. Not to mention monks, there were not even many ordinary people. Only a few miles away, in a wooden house by the river, there was an old man who was trembling with fear at the sound of fighting.

Outside the wooden house, there was a black-sailed boat, which was obviously a shop for carrying people across the river.

Song Yan's mind moved slightly and he no longer cared about pretending to be an ordinary person.

There's a lot of commotion here. If we don't leave quickly, we'll probably be surrounded from all sides soon.

He pinched the sword formula, turned into a rainbow and flew westward in a high-profile manner. After staying for a while, he turned around quickly and returned to the riverside. Then, he jumped into the river with a "plop", swam quickly to the other side, and then flew quickly to the "Xuanqi Desolate Area" in the south. As he walked, he turned and went somewhere else.

So, it is neither west nor south.

Taking into account the "method of investigating spies" used by Nanwu Jianmen before, Song Yan did not plan to go to the mortal world to get an identity at this time. Instead, he planned to stay in the deep mountains and forests first to digest the gains from this battle.

The next day, before dawn, several monks arrived and stopped far away on the north bank of the river.

As time passed, more and more monks gathered.

The old man who ran the ferry shop was also found.

Facing these god-like figures, the old man felt both afraid and as if he had found his backbone, so he told them everything he had seen last night.

The monks looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to the old man's description.

The words "terrifying tall demonic shadow", "disaster-like fight", "rainbow light going to the west" and so on intersect together, giving them a sense of déjà vu that "even though they were not at the scene, they seemed to have witnessed what was happening at the scene".

The communication stones lit up one by one.
Within two days, the monks of the Crimson Palace who had blocked the northern land also rushed here.
Gu Huangzi and the Great Elder looked at each other after they landed and checked.

"It was Grandma Fox." The Great Elder pondered, "As for the rainbow light that went west, although it is hard to believe, it is very likely Song Yan. Song Yan actually escaped from Grandma Fox. This boy has a lot of secrets."

Gu Huangzi snorted coldly, then said: "I will send disciples from the sect to search, do you mind, Great Elder?"

The Great Elder was stunned when he heard this and said, "Your disciple went west, what are you investigating in Wu?"

Gu Huangzi said: "This little trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is something that even a three-year-old child in my Puppet Sect can use. Does he mean he will go west if he goes west?"

The great elder glanced around.

Among the monks of the Crimson Palace level who gathered around him, there was only one from the Nanwu Sword Sect, but there were three from the Puppet Sect.
In this battle, his Jianmen suffered heavy losses.

The Great Elder's expression suddenly darkened, and he said, "Now Grandma Hu has not been found yet, and Song Yan's whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is uncertain. Do you really want to turn against my Jianmen at this time?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Gu Huangzi laughed strangely and said, "That cunning boy might have really escaped to your Wu Kingdom. If he falls into your hands and you keep the secret, wouldn't I be at a big loss?

Turn your face?

Even if we have to fall out, hey, it's all because of you guys!"

The Great Elder had an uncertain expression, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Then let's search together. Find Grandma Hu and Song Yan first, and then we can talk about the rest."

"Okay." Gu Huangzi responded, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "I remember that Song Yan once had a cauldron by his side, named Cao Yuzhuang, but she died in the battle of Hantan Valley, and her whereabouts are unknown. I don't know if she is still alive. If you have any information about this woman, remember to tell me."

The Great Elder said: "There are still remnants of Grandma Fox in the Imperial Capital. You and I should join forces to capture the Imperial Capital first, and then we can talk about it."

Gu Huangzi said: "The Great Jin is about to attack. That is a mundane matter. Let's not worry about it."

The Great Elder said angrily: "Guhuangzi! You want to eat alone?!"

Gu Huang Zi asked curiously, "What do you mean by eating alone?"

The Great Elder snorted coldly: "Grandma Fox went out to fight, and she never thought of not coming back. How much can her storage bag hold?"

Seeing that he was called out, Gu Huangzi said impatiently: "If there is any benefit, I will ask you to share some, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Bone Demon!"

"Okay, okay, let's go together. Look how anxious you are, hehe."

Guhuangzi was leisurely and the great elder was furious.

The balance between the two sides was also broken in the battle with Grandma Fox.
Three months later
Within the territory of Wu State, there is a cave in a desolate mountain with almost no mysterious energy and no human habitation.

Song Yanchang exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, there was a waterfall cascading down.

The ice thawed in spring, and the dry season gradually increased. Now it is early summer again, so the water flow of the waterfall is getting stronger and stronger, rumbling directly against the green rocks below, splashing countless water droplets, and glittering colorfully in the sky.

There were snake nests and poisonous insect nests around here, but Song Yan did not deal with them because those snakes and poisonous insects did not dare to provoke him. Even the cave where he was now was originally the nest of a python. But he just released his breath and stood in front of the nest, and the python moved away obediently.

Wild beasts are more sensitive to qi and blood than humans, so as soon as they see Song Yan, they can tell that he is a creature at the top of the food chain that cannot be provoked.

Song Yan really stayed in this cave for three months without going anywhere. Today, seeing the sunshine and the warm weather, he suddenly felt a little interested.

He stood at the entrance of the cave, tore off his coat, revealing his muscular body.

And behind him, there were vague, mysterious and colorful lines that were vague and vague.

Each of the colorful black patterns seemed to be wriggling, like a creeping evil spirit, and in the center of the many patterns, a strange fox head appeared, which was even more terrifying.

The fox head looked like "a doodle by a mad painter". The composition was a lifelike work by a national painter, but the lines were so crazy and creepy that even ordinary people would feel their legs go weak and they would feel unspeakably terrified when they took a look at it.

The man jumped suddenly, fell down from a high altitude along the waterfall, and fell into the deep pool below.

The water pythons in the pond were startled and ran away.

The man swam comfortably in the water, stretching his body. After swimming a circle, he went to the shore naked, picked a few unknown fruits, washed them in the water, sat cross-legged and began to eat them.

As his mind moved slightly, a transparent white fox ghost floated down to his side, and the "fox head" on his back naturally disappeared.

'Owner.'

Grandma Fox called him respectfully in her mind in a voice that only Song Yan could hear.

Song Yan looked at the white fox ghost and responded with a smile in his mind: "Are you unwilling to accept this?"

After saying that, he did not wait for a response and continued to himself: "Although the monks of the Crimson Palace are powerful, there is no one like you who can sweep away the forces of the same level everywhere, especially in the Puppet Sect, there is an existence that even Gu Huangzi is wary of.

It's outrageous that you can dominate that place.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that there is a flaw in your Longbo blood.

If you can't find that flaw, you will be invincible.

If you see it, it's like a balloon being punctured by a needle.'

'At first I thought your magic shadow was an illusion. After all, in the market of Hantan Valley, the illusion-eating flying ants did tear a trace in your magic shadow, and you reacted quickly and killed the monk who screamed. At the same time, you deliberately ate him with your magic shadow.

It's as if you are declaring that your magic shadow is an illusion.

This only makes things more obvious.'

'Then I began to realize something was wrong, because everywhere I went, everyone showed a fear that was far beyond my expectations.

Including me.
You have to know that I have already digested the blood essence of the Tiger King Clan in Hantan Valley, so I will be more sensitive to the condition of my soul.

If there were no external factors affecting me, I would not be afraid.

So at that time, I began to suspect that you could cast a large-scale fear spell.'

'Later, I met you and we had a big fight. At that time, it was impossible for me to be afraid, but I was still afraid when you transformed.

Later, when I got scared, you increased from more than ten feet to several dozen feet.

I just wanted to take a gamble, so I stuck all the killing talismans I bought on my body.

The rush of those murderous talismans immediately dispelled all the fear in my heart.

You really have changed back.'

Song Yan finished eating the wild fruit in his hand and threw it far away. Watching the water scatter the fruit, he leaned back comfortably and basked in the sunlight.

Grandma Fox has become his accomplice, so Grandma Fox’s secrets are naturally no longer secrets.

The Crimson Palace Realm is divided into the early, middle and late stages.

In the early stage, it was the middle three palaces.

The middle period is the lower three palaces.

The later period is the upper three palaces.

This is called the "Nine Palaces".

In the Nine Palaces, the "left and right palaces" also need external blood, but the power that these external blood can exert is only a few percent of the power of the blood itself. At least 30% to 40%, and at most 60% to 70%.

Only the essence and blood in the central palace can exert its power to 100% and have the potential to grow.

As Grandma Fox is in the middle stage of the Crimson Palace, she has the blood of the six palaces.

The Zhongzhong Palace is "multi-tailed fox blood". The purer the blood is, the more tails it can produce. Each tail is like an "instant mana recovery potion" that can fill up one's own mysterious energy in an instant.

However, the middle and lower palaces of Grandma Fox are not "Longbo blood".

Longbo blood comes from a secret place of the multi-tailed fox tribe - the "Longbo Blood Ancient Pool".

There is "ordinary Long Bo blood" and "Long Bo blood essence blood" in the ancient pool.

Most members of the multi-tailed fox tribe can only absorb ordinary dragon blood.

The same goes for Grandma Fox.

The blood essence of Grandma Fox's lower palace comes from a rare monster of the same level as the crimson palace - the "six-winged terrifying bat".

The biggest feature of the six-winged bat is the "secret art of fear".

The more abundant the mysterious energy is, the more terrifying the "Secret Art of Fear" will be, and the fear will be contagious.

This is a perfect match for Grandma Fox.

The three-tailed fox lady can provide a huge amount of mysterious energy in an instant, so her "secret art of fear" will naturally also increase.

The characteristic of "Dragon Blood" is: the more fearful the target is, the bigger you will be, and the more terrifying the power you reveal will be.

In this way, the "blood of the multi-tailed fox tribe", "blood of the six-winged bat", "blood of Long Bo" and the "mastery of illusion" of the multi-tailed fox tribe itself formed a perfect circle.

Grandma Fox used her multiple tails to launch the secret technique of fear, using Long Bo's blood to absorb fear, and used illusion to disguise and mislead people, making people mistakenly believe that such a large demon shadow was caused by an illusion.
But even if someone thinks that it might be "fear", the "secret art of fear" can force "fear" into your heart, making it impossible for you not to be afraid.

Without certain strength, certain preparation, and certain coincidences, even if one discovers a flaw, one will surely die.

"It was really a fluke this time."

Song Yanchang breathed a sigh of relief.

On the side, the ghost of the white fox trembled and said, "I am terrified."
