Chapter 222 Tomb of the Demon Emperor

Han Bingli looked at Xiao Ningyun, who was sitting in a high position, and said softly, "Junior Sister, would you like to take this little fox in? You already have Lu Hou and Jin Xiao by your side, so one more won't make a difference."

The moment she finished speaking, Jin Xiao, who was sitting on the back of the chair, bristled and immediately refused, saying, "No, no, no! Absolutely not!"

"My master's arms are already crowded enough, there's no room for a little fox."

Hearing Jin Xiao's rebuttal, Han Bingli, Su Qingruo and the others all smiled helplessly. It wasn't that they couldn't keep it up; it was clearly that Jin Xiao was secretly jealous.

Come to think of it, Junior Sister already has two Great Emperor Divine Beasts by her side. If Fox Qing'er were to follow Junior Sister, she would probably be bullied terribly.

Below, Hu Qing'er's expression stiffened slightly, her last hope suddenly dashed. But she was calm and composed, and in an instant she suppressed the disappointment in her eyes, revealing a sweet smile. Just as she was about to bow and apologize, Xiao Ningyun, who was in a higher position, spoke up.

"Sister Bingli, I already have Lu Hou and Jinxiao. If I take in Hu Qing'er as well, I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of her."

"However, we can take her back to the sect and hand her over to our sixth junior sister. With such a low cultivation level, it would be perfect for her to take in Hu Qing'er and protect her."

Upon hearing his junior sister's words, Ling Yunzhi immediately nodded in agreement. His sixth junior sister had been alone since childhood and had never had any companions. It would be perfect for her to take in Hu Qing'er.

Han Bingli agreed with her junior sister's words and immediately turned to Hu Qing'er, asking, "You heard what junior sister said, right? Would you be willing to return to the Myriad Laws Sect with us to serve Sixth Junior Sister?"

Hu Qing'er's dim eyes lit up instantly, and she was overjoyed. She immediately bowed and said, "Qing'er is willing to go back to the Imperial Sect with you young heroes to give it a try."

"Don't be too happy yet." Han Bingli said in a slightly cold tone, "If you want to join my Wanfa Sect, you must sign a contract. As for what kind of contract to sign, that is entirely up to Sixth Junior Sister to decide."

Fox Qing'er remained silent for only a moment before softly replying, "Qing'er understands. No matter which contract the Six Kinships choose, Qing'er will accept it willingly and without the slightest complaint."

The fox spirit standing to the side finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she hadn't managed to get Qing'er to acknowledge her as her master among the other prodigies present, she still had the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the sect leader's six relatives, and she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Just then, the Crimson Flame Tiger rubbed its paws furtively and said cautiously, "My divine beast lord, esteemed young heroes, my clan also has several tiger cubs who admire you all and are willing to sign contracts. I wonder if you young heroes could take them all back to the Imperial Sect and let the sect's geniuses choose them. As long as a genius takes a liking to them, any kind of contract is fine, any contract is acceptable, any agreement is fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Devouring Python beside him quickly chimed in, "That's right, what the Crimson Flame Tiger said is absolutely correct. My python clan also has a few young pythons with considerable talent who admire you young heroes. We hope you young heroes will grant their request."

The sudden request caused Ling Yunzhi and the others to exchange glances. They were unsure how to decide and all turned their gazes to Han Bingli.

Han Bingli pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement: "Alright. Five slots will be allocated to each of the three clans: fox, tiger, and python. After returning to the sect, if any junior brothers or sisters are willing to form a contract, they can stay in the Myriad Laws Sect. If no one chooses them, they will return to their clans on their own."

The three clan leaders were overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately bowed deeply: "Yes, yes, if no one is interested, it's because their aptitude is too poor. We will bring our juniors over later to accompany you all back to the Imperial Sect."

Just as the three clan leaders were about to step down...

From her high position, little Ningyun swung her short legs and looked at the three clan leaders curiously, asking, "Are there any other fun places in your Demon Beast Forest?"

The three clan leaders exchanged glances. The Crimson Flame Tiger and the Devouring Python shook their heads and bowed, saying, "Young hero, the Demon Beast Forest is nothing but demons, various spiritual herbs and medicines, and some mineral veins. There's really nothing fun about it that you're talking about."

Only the Seven-Tailed Fox bowed gently to Xiao Ningyun, her voice soft: "Young hero, there have always been two ancient legends in the Monster Forest."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ningyun's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately asked, "Which two rumors? Tell me quickly."

The seven-tailed fox composed herself and continued, "One of them was the sealed Primordial Dragon Emperor, who has already been killed by the Divine Beast."

"The second one is the Demon Emperor's Tomb."

"The Demon Emperor's Tomb?" Upon hearing this, Han Bingli and the others also became interested.

At this moment, the Crimson Flame Tiger spoke up, saying, "Seven-Tailed Fox, this rumor is even older than that of the Primordial Dragon Emperor. Moreover, we have lived in the Demon Beast Forest for so long, and we have not discovered any Demon Emperor's tomb. I think this rumor is mostly false."

The Devouring Python chimed in, "That's right, if it were true, we would have discovered it long ago."

Han Bingli looked at the two clan leaders and said in an icy tone, "You two, let the Seven-Tailed Fox finish speaking first."

The two demons shrank back and immediately bowed: "Heroine, please forgive us. We were too rash and hasty just now."

Han Bingli glanced at the two demons and said, "Alright, you two, don't say anything for now."

Seeing that the young heroes were eager to hear, the Seven-Tailed Fox continued, "Legend has it that long ago, this place was not called the Demon Beast Forest, but the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. The one who ruled the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was the legendary Golden-Winged Roc, the master of the Demon Emperor's Tomb. This Demon Emperor's cultivation was terrifying, no less than that of the previous Dragon Emperor, and perhaps even stronger."

Upon hearing this, Han Bingli thought to herself, "The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons? Why didn't even she know that the Demon Beast Forest was once called the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons in her previous life? It seems that this legend is indeed quite ancient."

"Later, it was rumored that because of the great calamity of ancient times, the Demon Emperor was seriously injured in the great battle in order to protect the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. His origin was damaged. After returning to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, he built a tomb for the Demon Emperor. Not long after, the Demon Emperor perished and was buried in the tomb for the Demon Emperor."

"However, no one has ever been able to find this Demon Emperor's tomb since ancient times, so... that's why the two patriarchs of the Devouring Python clan said that most of the rumors are false."

Upon hearing this, Han Bingli and the others pondered how much truth the Seven-Tailed Fox had instilled in them.

Only Xiao Ningyun's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "This Demon Emperor's Tomb is interesting. Since this used to be the center of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the Demon Emperor's Tomb can't be too far away. I'm going to find this Demon Emperor's Tomb."

Upon hearing their junior sister's words, Ling Yunzhi, Su Qingruo, and the others all thought of her ancient double pupils.

Han Bingli had also thought of this. If the rumors were true, then her junior sister's ancient double pupils should be able to find the Demon Emperor's tomb. If they were false, then she would just play along with her junior sister.

The five of them exchanged glances and nodded in agreement with their junior sister's words.

Han Bingli looked at her junior sister and said with a smile, "Alright, since junior sister wants to go find the Demon Emperor's Tomb, then let's go together tomorrow."

Hearing Han Bingli's words, Xiao Ningyun smiled happily: "Great! Then let's set off tomorrow."

The three clan leaders were all taken aback. Why did they suddenly go looking for that elusive Demon Emperor's tomb?

Han Bingli looked at the three clan leaders and said, "Send the little demons from your clans over when we return to our sect! We need to go find the Demon Emperor's tomb tomorrow."

"Yes, we will obey your orders, young hero." The three clan leaders had no choice but to bow and reply.

The seven-tailed fox thought for a moment, then asked softly, "Young heroes, the Ten Thousand Demon Forest is too vast. Qing'er grew up here and is familiar with the place. Perhaps... she could stay and guide you?"

Upon hearing this, Han Bingli nodded slightly: "Very well, then let Hu Qing'er stay here!"

"It's alright, you can all leave now!"

"Yes." The three clan leaders and the elders bowed in unison.

Before leaving, Fox Charm glanced at Fox Qing'er, her eyes full of expectation.
