I defeated the saint with a parry.

"The fox clan really knows how to use their methods!"

Xu Ling suddenly realized many things, and things that were previously unclear became clear: "This game is indeed very big."

"Rumor has it that there is a princess in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, possessing both fox and human blood, yet she is highly respected and even known as the Female Prime Minister. Several times during conflicts between the two kingdoms, this princess has been in charge of command, repeatedly averting border crises for the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. You must be referring to yourself, sir?"

"Li Xi of the Fox Clan greets Young Master Xu."

After Li Xi stopped disguising herself, her entire demeanor changed drastically. She exuded an eerie beauty in every gesture, and her aura became exceptionally powerful, at least at the Sea Gazing Realm.

Upon hearing Xu Ling reveal her identity, Li Xi smiled and gave a polite greeting like a well-bred young lady: "I love acting, so when we were closing in, I couldn't help but act a few more times. I hope Mr. Xu won't blame me."

Xu Ling chuckled twice: "I don't blame you at all, I just feel like killing you."

My family doesn't understand. I just transmigrated here and was tricked twice by someone pretending to be my sibling. And all that effort he put into helping me find the murderer was for nothing. Can you believe how angry I am?

"Oh dear, Young Master Xu, please don't be so harsh with me." Li Xi's seductive charm was fully displayed in the word "seductive": "We've even shared life and death together."

"If you truly hate me, why not let me give you another dream right here? Then you can remember the good and forget the bad. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Xu Ling: "Is this how you got the Li family to believe in the existence of Li Xi and Li Yang?"

"Young Master is indeed a young master, you understand so quickly," Li Xi said with a charming smile. "Back then, I went to great lengths to make them remember 'Li Yang and Li Xi.' Fortunately, this connection was only for my own selfish reasons, so even if it doesn't succeed, it won't affect the overall situation."

"The crimes committed by the three Li brothers in our clan are so serious that even killing them a thousand times wouldn't be enough. Simply wiping out their entire family would be too lenient for them."

"It was all for the sake of the righteous cause that King Kang spoke of. They actually gave away hundreds of households of their own clan to King Kang to make some kind of antidote for the demon calamity. In the end, not only did they fail to produce an antidote, but they also produced large quantities of Blood Fusion Pills that were designed to target the demon race."

"Our village is hidden in the mountains to avoid the conflict between the Great Chu and the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. The three Li brothers and I are all descendants of humans and demons in the village... For hundreds and thousands of years, even when facing demonic calamities, our village has lived in peace. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth... But the three Li brothers went out to travel and brought back the King Kang, that jinx."

"Do you think they deserved to die?"

Xu Ling asked, "So how did you survive?"

"Back then, the third son of the Li family saw that my younger brother Li Yang and I were still young, so he secretly sent my younger brother and me into the mountains to fend for ourselves. My younger brother died on the way, while I was luckier. When the fox clan elder found me, I was still alive, which is how I survived until now."

"After the eldest and second eldest brothers found out that the third son of the Li family had let my brother and me go, they were also sent to be used as materials for the Blood Fusion Pill."

No wonder the Li family only has an eldest and a second son; the third son, who was supposed to make the Li family rich, never appeared. It turns out he failed here.

"Before Li Tao died, he told me that my brother and I were actually the bloodline of the third prince, which is why he disregarded Prince Kang's orders and secretly let us go. What's even more ridiculous is that Li Tao said the rise of the Li family was intentional on Prince Kang's part. Prince Kang discovered that the bloodline of our village was not enough, and more bloodlines were needed to fill the gap, so Li Family Village was the best blood bank..."

"The so-called antidote to the demon calamity is just a trick to deceive them. The Blood Fusion Pill, which can wipe out the demon race, is Kang Wang's true objective. Of course... he might not necessarily use it against our demon race."

Xu Ling suddenly realized: "So Li Tao really did go to his death willingly."

"So what? Their remorse before death is nothing but the tears of a venomous snake. All of this is the consequence of their greed. They have no one to blame but themselves. If it weren't for the greater good, and the fact that leaving them with their whole corpses would have been more effective in deceiving the spies of the Demon Suppression Bureau, I would have reduced them to ashes."

Li Xi gritted his teeth as he spoke of his deepest hatred: "King Kang is guilty! Great Chu is guilty too! I want King Kang dead, and Great Chu destroyed!!"

"This Zhou Tian Yin Yang Reversal Array and the secret techniques of Jin Yu Lou are my gifts to the Great Chu."

"Using the Li family's and other brokerage firms' channels, sending the demon race into the Great Chu would be a piece of cake. With the addition of Jin Yulou, we can bury the necessary materials for the secret technique around Fancheng at any time. By utilizing the power of the local ley lines, we can quietly change the terrain of Fancheng. In more than ten years, we can complete the necessary elements for the grand formation."

"Even if someone discovers it during this time, there are ways to deal with it. Those whose memories can be altered can have them altered, and those whose memories cannot be altered can be killed and cultivated into ghost cultivators to cause you some trouble at this time."

"Of course, the fox clan's abilities are not limited to these. My lovely kin, you can even subconsciously overlook those traces that might expose you. Only you humans would think that the fox clan only knows how to seduce people, but you don't know the true uses of charm and illusion."

"Once Fancheng becomes a ghost town, Jin Yulou will have a place to live and won't have to keep running to the underworld for cultivation. This is a fatal attraction for them. I don't even need to urge them; they will take the initiative to help us. Without them, this formation would not be so easy to set up."

She pointed to the group of people around Xu Ling: "You really are surprising, daring to use these ghost cultivators."

Xu Ling laughed and said, "What's so surprising? You know this Brother Zhong too. He dared to risk his life to save us when he was alive, and he's the same in death. All the brothers around me are such upright men. If we don't dare to use people like these, what other people in this world are worth employing?"

"That's a pity. With your strength, you won't be able to get the array core from me."

Li Xi waved her hand, and the foxes around her rushed out, baring their teeth, and she mingled among them.

"Gentlemen!" Xu Ling charged forward, brandishing his sword, his voice echoing behind him, "Follow me!"

"war!"

The two sides clashed quickly.

Foxes are beasts, naturally agile, and adept at transformation as they move. Some foxes turn into white smoke to evade attacks, some burrow underground, and some even rise from their feet to walk in the air...

Zhong Song and his group are no ordinary people either. After becoming ghost cultivators, their attack methods will only become more bizarre.

Someone opened their mouth and exhaled mist, their entire body merging into the mist. After the ghostly aura spread, they disappeared from the spot and began their sneak attack.

Some people simply turn into a puddle of water and disappear from everyone's sight; occasionally, a puddle of water will emerge from the ground and carry away a fox.

The fire demon directly altered the surrounding land, with rolling lava forcing the fox to stay away. He then condensed the lava onto his brothers' weapons, enchanting them completely.

"Ordinary ghosts" like Chung Chung who died are a bit weak, but the special thing about their ghost bodies is that they can pick up broken arms and legs, stick them back together, and still use them. As long as their souls are not harmed, there is not much pressure.

A ghost body is not a soul body; this distinction needs to be made.

Furthermore, this place is located at the boundary between Yin and Yang, and the Yin attribute provides a bonus to ghost cultivators, so even though they were outnumbered, the battle did not turn out one-sided.

Until Xu Ling and Li Xi bumped into each other.

The situation in the battle then began to change.

To Xu Ling's surprise, Li Xi didn't fight him at all, and didn't even have any intention of killing him.

As a result, the trial space wasn't even brought out...

Seeing Li Xi rush towards Zhong Song and the others, Xu Ling shouted, "Why are you running? Come and kill me!"

The next second, Li Xi twisted her body and disappeared. When she reappeared, she was behind him, pressed tightly against his body, and whispered in his ear, "Don't rush, Brother Xu."

"You want me to kill you so badly because of your supernatural powers, don't you think?"

"Although I don't know how you managed to defy your superiors and kill those evil cultivators and those at the Spirit Platform Realm, I've noticed that the premise for you to see through their schemes is either a dead end or that they are hostile towards you... So I just tried it out... and it turned out to be true."

"Brother Xu, you don't know, do you? I have no intention of killing you at all. In fact, you risked your life to protect me on the way here, so how could I bear to kill you?"

As Li Xi spoke, Xu Ling brandished his knife, trying to drive her away. But even a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator was like a toy in front of a Sea Gazing Realm cultivator, so how could he stop her?

Perhaps sensing Xu Ling's anxiety, Li Xi giggled, her laughter echoing throughout the space, charming and captivating, seemingly able to stir the heartstrings of everyone.

"Slurp!"

My neck was licked.

This monster!

Li Xi: "Looks like I wasn't wrong. I don't want to kill you, so what can you do about it! Stay here obediently and watch how I toy with these ghost cultivators."

Seeing Li Xi rush towards his companion, Xu Ling was filled with rage. His eyes turned red, and he grabbed the ink knife and made a move that shocked everyone.
