How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

The Fox Clan's territory in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

Today, Hu Qing'er dressed up specially, wearing a long blue dress that made her skin look as white as snow.

She stepped forward lightly and bowed gently to the fox spirit in front of her: "Clan leader, Qing'er is ready."

Fox Charm looked up at Fox Qing'er, her eyes filled with expectation and affection, and said softly, "Qing'er, no matter what the final outcome is when we go to the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, you will always be the most outstanding child of our fox clan."

"Remember, when you meet all the prodigies and divine beasts, be sure to show them proper etiquette. As for whether you will succeed, that's all up to fate."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qing'er nodded heavily: "Qing'er understands and will remember the clan leader's teachings."

An elder who was waiting in the wings stepped forward and said respectfully in a low voice, "Clan leader, the time is almost up. Clan leaders Devouring Python and Crimson Flame Tiger should already be waiting outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons."

"Okay, let's go over there then."

Fox Charm nodded and led Fox Qing'er and the clan elders toward the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

Before long, Fox Charm saw that the two clan leaders, Devouring Python and Crimson Flame Tiger, were already waiting there.

Seeing that Fox Fairy was late, Crimson Flame Tiger's brows furrowed with urgency: "Seven-Tailed Fox, why are you only arriving now? All the prodigies of the Imperial Clan and the divine beast lords are waiting in the hall for us to report on the affairs of our two clans!"

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze swept over and fell upon the graceful Fox Qing'er standing behind Fox Mei'er. He paused slightly, his face full of doubt: "Hmm? Why did you bring a junior from the clan along?"

When Hu Qing'er saw the two clan leaders looking at her, she quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Qing'er greets the two clan leaders."

The two clan leaders nodded slightly in response.

Fox Fairy raised her eyes slightly and spoke in a soft and charming voice: "My Qing'er is sixteen this year, so I brought her here to broaden her horizons and have the opportunity to witness the demeanor of the imperial clan's prodigy. It is also her good fortune."

The Devouring Python beside him didn't think much of it, but solemnly instructed, "You can come into the hall with us, but once inside, remember not to talk nonsense. Otherwise, if you anger the two divine beast masters and the young heroes, the consequences... none of us can bear them."

Fox Charm covered her mouth and chuckled, replying, "Don't worry, Devouring Python. Qing'er has been well-behaved and calm since childhood, and would never talk nonsense."

"In that case, please come with us into the hall." The Devouring Python nodded slightly and said no more.

Inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

Last night, after the six people and two beasts had a hearty meal, they had been refining the pure spiritual energy of the python meat in the hall to stabilize their cultivation. At this moment, everyone was resting with their eyes closed.

A lowly demon guarding the hall bowed and quickly entered. Upon seeing the people inside, he immediately knelt down, his posture respectful: "This lowly demon greets the two divine beast lords and all the young heroes! The three clan leaders and several elders are waiting outside the hall and wish to enter for an audience!"

Everyone slowly opened their eyes.

Han Bingli's gaze was as cold as snow, and her tone was indifferent: "Let them in."

A moment later, the palace doors slowly opened.

The three clan leaders—Seven-Tailed Fox, Sky-Devouring Python, and Crimson Flame Tiger—entered the hall in an orderly fashion, accompanied by their respective clan elders.

Upon seeing the group of people seated in the hall, the demons immediately bowed, their tone filled with reverence: "We greet the Divine Beast Lord, the Divine Phoenix Lord, and all the young heroes!"

From his high position, Jin Xiao's phoenix eyes swept indifferently over the group of demons below, his voice authoritative: "Rise! You have all come together to resolve a matter between our two races. Have you settled it?"

The Devouring Python stepped forward first, cupped its hands respectfully, and replied, "Reporting to Lord Divine Phoenix, the high-ranking officials of both races have been completely purged, without exception!"

Having said that, he raised his hand and produced two storage rings, using his demonic power to steadily deliver them to Xiao Ningyun, and then reported to his superior:

"One of these two storage rings contains the corpses of all the demon kings and lesser demon emperors of both races."

"The other one contains all the resources of both races: spiritual herbs, medicinal plants, spirit stones, minerals, and treasures—all are included!"

Xiao Ningyun's eyes lit up, and she happily accepted the two storage rings, quickly scanning them with her divine sense.

The ring was overflowing with the corpses of over a hundred high-level demonic beasts, neatly arranged, along with a mountain of rare medicinal herbs, spirit stones, and rare ores, making its value immeasurable.

Her face lit up with joy, and she happily put both rings away.

Just then, the Seven-Tailed Fox led Fox Qing'er forward, bowed again, and said earnestly, "My two divine beast lords, my fellow young heroes. This girl is a junior disciple of my Seven-Tailed Fox clan, named Fox Qing'er."

"She is sixteen years old this year. She has excellent physical constitution, superior talent, and a pure heart. She is a rare genius that our fox clan has only seen once in ten thousand years. Unfortunately, our fox clan has a shallow foundation and I am afraid that this girl's talent will be buried."

"I humbly request that you grant her a chance to follow one of the young heroes and serve him."

Fox Qing'er quickly bowed and said softly, "Fox Qing'er greets the two divine beast masters and all the young heroes."

Upon hearing the Seven-Tailed Fox's words, the Devouring Python and the Crimson Flame Tiger were already cursing in their hearts.

The Crimson Flame Tiger stared intently at the Fox Fairy, inwardly cursing, "You seven-tailed fox, didn't you say you only brought her here to broaden her horizons? How did you end up sending her to the Imperial Clan?"

The Devouring Python felt the same way, cursing the Seven-Tailed Fox a hundred times in its heart: "Damn it! As expected of that old fox, so cunning! You sent your junior to the Imperial Sect, fine! But why didn't you inform me so I could bring my junior along too!"

The two clan leaders were cursing in their hearts, but their smiles remained bright.

Han Bingli was also slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected the Seven-Tailed Fox to be so clever as to send over the best junior of the clan. This way, the relationship with the sect could be further strengthened, and the path could be paved for the juniors.

Han Bingli immediately used her Emperor Soul to carefully examine Hu Qing'er and found that Hu Qing'er's cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly King Realm, and her bloodline was also pure. Indeed, as the Seven-Tailed Fox had said, her bones and muscles were excellent.

After thinking about it, bringing them into the sect is actually quite good. Lu Hou and Jin Xiao live in the Divine Beast Hall. If Hu Qing'er is also arranged to go there, and she goes to the evolution pool a few more times, there is a real chance that she will evolve into a nine-tailed fox. Cultivating more divine beasts will also benefit the sect.

Then, Han Bingli turned to her fellow disciples and said softly, "Senior Brother Yunzhi, Hu Qing'er's talent is indeed quite good. Why don't you take her in?"

Ling Yunzhi immediately shook his head and refused, saying, "No, no, I'm used to being alone. You should find someone else."

Then, Han Bingli looked at Su Qingruo. Before Han Bingli could speak, Su Qingruo said, "Senior Sister Bingli, like Senior Brother Yunzhi, I'm used to being alone. I'm really not used to having a spirit pet by my side."

"Senior Sister Bingli, don't look at me. Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed. I just want to focus on refining my sword," Chen Ping'an said.

Chen Daoxuan shook his head and echoed, "Senior Sister Bingli, Junior Brother Ping'an is right. It's really not used to having a woman by your side all of a sudden."

Han Bingli was truly helpless, so she could only turn her gaze to her junior sister in the high position.

Hearing the voices rejecting her, Hu Qing'er clenched her small hands tightly, her eyes reddened slightly, and she felt a little disappointed. She looked to Xiao Ningyun in the high position with her last hope, hoping that she would accept her.
