Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Compared to the Moon Worship Cult Leader and his followers' ruthless cultivation methods, which resembled those of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, the strongest member of the Fox Clan, who chose to live a pastoral life and pursue the path of inner sainthood thousands of years ago, is only a six-tailed Fox Elder. The vast majority of other adult Fox Clan members have only the strength of about four tails.

"Our fox demon clan doesn't know what the Moon Worship Sect and the Nanzhao Kingdom are, but our fox demon clan has not had contact with the outside world for thousands of years, and we have no intention of doing so in the past, present, or future. So please ask this Grand Preceptor to return," the fox demon elder said calmly, despite the shock he had suffered.

The reason why Elder Fox has been preoccupied since his coming-of-age ceremony today, and why he is still deeply troubled even now with a formidable enemy at hand, is because everything today is exactly the same as the prophecy he heard in the mourning hall that day.

Rewinding to several decades ago, after sending Tiger Third Sister and a bunch of little fox demons back to their home, the fox demon elder returned to the two statues in the mourning hall, only to find two fox demons who looked exactly like the statues standing before him.

It's not that these two people are less beautiful than the two statues, but rather that their appearances are almost ethereal, like spirits. Their faces are shrouded in a thick fog, and their forms are like gas floating in the air.

"Elder Fox Demon is unworthy to pay respects to our two ancestors, the Nine-Tailed Fox Immortal and the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon," Elder Fox Demon said respectfully.

These two seemingly ethereal fox spirits each have nine tails behind them; they are none other than the two nine-tailed fox sisters from ancient legends.

"No need for such formality. We are merely withered old men." A dry, decaying voice came from nowhere.

Two nine-tailed foxes, who were praised, sung about, loved and revered in ancient times, spent all their accumulated cultivation and power in order to create a Demon Fox Valley that could not be easily found in either the human world or the immortal realm, as well as a barrier to protect the Demon Fox Valley.

So now the two nine-tailed foxes exist in an almost symbiotic way. Their youthful and beautiful appearance, melodious and ethereal voices, and powerful bodies have all vanished, leaving only their humble coexistence. Only their withered and exhausted tails on the back of their bodies still remember their glorious past.

"My two ancestors..." The fox elder was torn by various pains. However, when his two ancestors were fighting, he was just a little fox demon with no power, like Tiger Third Sister.

Even though Elder Fox had so much to say, having witnessed the two nine-tailed foxes make their decision, he felt that whatever he said would only trample on their beliefs and hearts.

"You are now an elder of the fox spirit clan. You shouldn't waste your time on the two of us. Let's get down to business." Although the voices of the two nine-tailed fox spirits were extremely cold, they inexplicably carried a kind of benevolent aura.

"Yes, the thing I need to tell our two ancestors is that a new hope for our fox demon clan may have truly been born." The fox demon elder couldn't contain his excitement.

"So you've found the darlings of the sun and moon who share the same origins as us?" The nine-tailed fox spirit's body fluctuated violently, and the fox elder seemed to sense their joy as well.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

There are all sorts of legends about the fox spirit clan, but the stories about the nine-tailed fox fairy and the nine-tailed fox demon are almost all true.

The reason why the two were able to train into nine-tailed foxes is largely because they were chosen by beings far superior to those beyond the Six Realms to serve the sun and the moon when they were born. Blessed by heaven and earth, they are naturally much stronger than other members of their kind.

"Yes, the snow-white little fox spirit that was brought before your two statues just now is what we believe to be the new moon's darling. As for the sun's darling, we believe it was divided into seven parts, each belonging to one of the seven little fox spirits."

0.o…0

The moon's light far surpassed that of the sun, and the sun's light was divided into seven parts. Ah! The nine-tailed fox spirit's expression suddenly dimmed.

Just as Elder Fox was about to press for more information, the Nine-Tailed Fox stopped him, uttered one last sentence, and then vanished.

"On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, an evil force will attack the Fox Demon Valley. This is a crisis that will wipe out the entire clan. At that time, we will summon the eight little fox demons to this mourning hall. We need to make preparations for this."

The fox elder recalled the prophecy of that day and knew that today they were facing the crisis of extinction that the two ancestors had foretold. For this reason, the fox elder even sent people to build this fake fox valley.

The fox elder had complete confidence in the fox clan's exceptional talent for illusion magic, which they had possessed since their inception. Thus, the fox elder looked at the Moon Worship Cult Leader with a respectful and obedient demeanor, observing him.

“Cult Leader Baiyue, you can see how dilapidated the Demon Fox Valley behind me is. The Demon Fox Clan can’t help you much.” Seeing that Cult Leader Baiyue did not respond, the Demon Fox Elder lowered his head and said.

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult glanced at the fox demon elder, thought for a long time, and then turned away.

Just as Elder Fox thought the Moon Worship Cult Leader was about to leave, the Moon Worship Cult Leader waved his hand lightly, and a black aura emanating from his hand shattered the fake Fox Valley into pieces. Elder Fox and the fox warriors accompanying him were all terrified.

Chapter Seventy-Three: The Clan is Imminent

Seeing the fake Fox Valley that he had led to create with such confidence being easily exposed and destroyed by the Moon Worship Cult Leader, the Fox Elder could not believe his eyes.

Even though the Demon Fox Elder dared not slacken his efforts, the prophecies and advice of the two Nine-Tailed Fox ancestors, along with dozens of top members of the Demon Fox clan, created this fake Demon Fox Valley, which was completely ineffective in front of the Moon Worship Cult Leader.

The reason why the Moon Worship Cult Leader could see through the fake Fox Valley created by the Fox Clan, a race skilled in illusion, by gathering the power of all the elites of the clan, was that the descendants of Nuwa, represented by Zhao Ling'er's mother, the Witch Queen Lin Qing'er, had hidden their identities from him for more than ten years and almost destroyed his plans completely.

From then on, from the leader of the Moon Worship Cult down to the most grassroots members, the Moon Worship Cult spent a great deal of effort researching all kinds of illusions. Whether it was the innate talent of the Nuwa clan as descendants of a race, or the illusions of the Miao people using physical poisons, the Moon Worship Cult had studied them in general terms.

Then, whether it was bad luck for the fox demon clan or a coincidence passed down from the celestial realm to the human realm, the Moon Worshipers, who were practicing illusion magic far from the Nanzhao Kingdom, accidentally encountered a patrolling fox demon clan in the forest near the Fox Demon Valley.

When the two forces met, the two sides looked at each other in surprise, completely unprepared for the other's appearance. However, after hesitating for two or three seconds, both sides, under the command of their leaders, took action:

The fox spirits' patrol team immediately began using illusions that were explicitly specified in the rules but were completely absent from actual use, to conceal their whereabouts.

The Moon Worshipers on the other side were not like the fox demons who lacked combat experience and the determination to kill. They immediately used items and spells to counter the magic.

At this time, the Moon Worship Cult was not strong enough to break the magic of the Fox Demon Clan. However, the treacherous Moon Worship Cult immediately began an indiscriminate attack. As soon as they heard any sound, they would use all kinds of hidden weapons and attack spells in that direction, making a mess of the entire forest.

Meanwhile, although the fox demon clan could completely conceal their figures using illusions, they could not completely block various spells and attacks.

The fox demon clan immediately retreated, but this resulted in several people being injured. The Moon Worship Cult members considered this a huge mistake. However, the first thing both leaders did upon returning to their strongholds was the same: to tell their respective leaders everything that had happened in the nameless forest.

"You mean there are enemies near our Demon Fox Valley?" Elder Demon Fox asked in surprise after hearing the news.

Seeing his wounded fox demons, and recalling the warnings and prophecies he had heard from his two nine-tailed fox ancestors, the fox demon elder made a decision:

That is, no more patrols will be sent to inspect the forests near the Demon Fox Valley, in order to prevent more contact with humans from the outside world. Secondly, the elites of the entire Demon Fox Valley were gathered to build a fake Demon Fox Valley outside the main valley.

Everything the Elder Fox did was to transform the previously isolated Fox Valley and Fox Clan into a completely closed collective. However, even though the Fox Clan could achieve the level of Inner Saint cultivation, their ability to communicate with the outside world was far inferior to that of their two ancestors, the Nine-Tailed Foxes.

In other words, even if the fox demon clan can achieve internal perfection now, it cannot reach the level that the two nine-tailed foxes once led the fox demon clan, where they could isolate themselves at will and calmly handle external affairs when they wanted to communicate with the outside world.

"Are there humanoid races that are skilled in illusion and resemble foxes?" In contrast to the fox elder, the Moon Worship Cult Leader, who had handled countless affairs, calmly turned to his private library, which contained countless books, and began to browse through the relevant information upon receiving the report.

Seeing their master's calm and composed demeanor only further motivated the Moon Worshipers, who then took the initiative to organize more reconnaissance teams to return to the forest where they encountered the fox demons and search for more information.

Through the intelligence gathered by the Moon Worship Cult members, the Moon Worship Cult leader's own vast collection of books and knowledge, and the immense power he wielded, the Moon Worship Cult successfully broke the illusion magic of the Fox Demon Clan, despite the considerable time and effort required.

The continued existence of illusions requires the support of corresponding magical power, and the simplest, most direct, and effective way to break an illusion is to destroy the source of the magical power that supplies the illusion.

After the Moon Worship Cult learned how to break the illusion magic that the fox demon clan was so proud of, the fate of the entire clan was decided in that instant.

The fox demon clan had long been consumed by the struggles and conflicts of ancient times, and their only remaining energy was focused on how to survive in isolation.

In contrast, the Moon Worship Cult, despite its pitifully short history (in the eyes of the fox demons), has been expanding its power with an almost fanatical faith and by any means necessary.

The difference in their ways of survival and dealing with things determines why the invaders were the Moon Worship Cult, because after that they kept searching for the existence of the Demon Fox Valley, and after finding it, they spared no effort in planning how to conquer the entire Demon Fox Clan on the final day and bring them under the command of their great leader, the Moon Worship Cult Master; it also determines why the Demon Fox Clan was the one who was kissed, because they had lost their wildness over thousands of years, and the only thing they could do was to become stagnant and complacent.

When the entire Moon Worship Cult, mobilized by its members, appeared before Elder Fox, Elder Fox still had no concept of the Moon Worship Cult Leader's strength, and even thought...

The fake Fox Valley 5.4 can block the great demon in this prophecy.

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult had already made a complete plan on how to attack and annex the entire Fox Demon Clan, and even spent a lot of effort estimating the strength of the Fox Demon Clan's leader.

Therefore, when the Moon Worship Cult Leader saw the Fox Demon Elder, he only showed disdain and contempt.

Even though Elder Fox had speculated about the Great Demon's exact strength countless times in his mind, he only truly realized how shallow and ignorant he was the moment he saw the Moon Worship Cult Leader break through the fake Fox Valley. And what the Moon Worship Cult Leader said next completely made Elder Fox feel despair.

"Surrender or death, or you foolish fox demons, choose both?" The Moon Worship Cult Leader, with an air of supreme authority, spoke with a disdainful gaze as he turned his back to the real Fox Demon Valley.

Chapter 74 Deep Consideration

Ever since that day, when Hu San Niang became the true leader of the fox demon clan and surrendered to the Lord of the Moon Worship Cult, the fox demon clan has been used as a useful tool to monitor and control the settlements of neighboring countries around the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The most powerful warriors of the fox clan were all placed under house arrest within the Nanzhao Kingdom. Only those fox clan members capable of protecting them were sent out. For example, the fox elders were directly controlled in the ancestral hall of the fox valley, with no way to escape.

The fox spirits once lived a beautiful and harmonious life in their own fox spirit valley, but now it has become the greatest weapon to imprison them. Whenever Tiger Third Sister and her seven sisters return to the fox spirit valley and see that the once beautiful and fragrant valley has become a lifeless prison, Tiger Third Sister feels a pang of sorrow in her heart.

However, whenever she wanted to give up, the fox demon warriors, her seven sisters, and the fox demon elder, who were imprisoned in the dungeon, would cheer her up and encourage her. It was under such encouragement that Hu San Niang and her 04 sisters were able to persevere when they were sent out on missions.

Standing in the snow, Tiger Third Sister recalled the despair and helplessness of that day, as well as the fox demons who had always supported her. Tiger Third Sister felt angry and regretful at herself for still being so dejected.

"Tiger Third Sister, Tiger Third Sister, we're just at a loss for what to do. Are you going to give up like this?" Tiger Third Sister gritted her teeth, looked at her seven sisters beside her, and stood up after resolving her inner conflict.

“Although we can’t see any intentions right now, we’d better start from the beginning and sort out their background.” Tiger Third Sister looked at her seven sisters.

"Tiger Third Sister is all fired up! Chi'er, I'm going to go!" Chi'er jumped up excitedly when he saw Tiger Third Sister get all fired up and hugged her.

"Oh, that's how it is. Let's start from the beginning. After going through so much, our seven sisters are invincible," Huang'er said with a smile.

"Take it one step at a time, there's no need to rush." ​​Lan'er nodded.

Looking at her seven sisters who had always supported her, Tiger Third Sister's bloodshot head calmed down, and she began to recall all the news about Lin Yaoxie and his group before they arrived.

About three months ago, the fox demon clan heard that the fearless leader of the Moon Worship Cult had been severely injured and returned to the Nanzhao Kingdom with a solemn expression. What followed was that all the spies, including those of the fox demon clan, were moved to the northeast of the Nanzhao Kingdom, which is close to Suzhou City.

"Secretly inspect all personnel coming from the direction of Suzhou, especially groups led by men around twenty or thirty years old." This was Hu San Niang's instruction from the messenger side.

The order was given to the leader of the Moon Worship Cult.

After several relocations, the fox demon clan, which was increasingly moving towards the northeast, seemed to have caught wind of something, for example:

"It seems quite a few things have happened in Suzhou."

"Yes, it is said that Suzhou has suffered many natural and man-made disasters, and even the top scholar of the imperial examination died there."

"The key issue is that the top scholar of the dynasty died under mysterious circumstances, and there was a flood during the Dragon Boat Festival, followed by ghosts in the city. It was truly terrifying."

"However, it seems that a scoundrel has come along and taken care of all of these things."

Then, two or three days before Lin Yaoxie arrived at the dilapidated inn created by Hu Sanniang and her seven sisters using illusion magic, Hu Sanniang heard the same news from Suzhou City in the market:

"A famous brothel has emerged in Suzhou. I think it's called Yaoxiefang."

"Yes, all the prostitutes there are top-notch, from the top courtesans to the lower-ranking ones, they are all far beyond our imagination."

"But that boss only stayed in Suzhou for less than half a year before he overthrew and absorbed all the brothels in the Jiangnan region."

"And now there are rumors that this boss has left Suzhou to travel around. I really don't know where this amazing person came from."

A few days later, the observation point set up by the fox demon clan on this path was handed over to the Moon Worship Cult because fewer people traveled this path. The official road, which was used by more people, was now under the supervision of the Moon Worship Cult. Tiger Third Sister and the Seven Sisters did not expect anyone to come to this path, but two days later, Lin Yaoxie and his group suddenly arrived.

Recalling all this, Hu Sanniang seemed to suddenly realize, "The reason why the Moon Worship Cult Leader sent all his spies to the northeast of Nanzhao Kingdom was because he wanted to be wary of a person from Suzhou City in the northeast, a person who could seriously injure the Moon Worship Cult Leader."

"That's not right. Why didn't the person who could injure the Moon Worship Cult Leader immediately chase after him and attack him?" Cheng'er asked hastily, only half understanding.

"Is it because they know the identity of the Moon Worship Cult Leader and are afraid of going deep into enemy territory alone?" Qing'er asked Tiger Third Sister.

“Qing’er is right. And during that time, there were frequent reports of Suzhou City being embroiled in all sorts of strange and unusual events. Perhaps the cunning Moon Worship Cult Leader had already laid many traps before making a move against that powerful person, in order to hinder this enemy.” Tiger Third Sister nodded, and then continued to reason along with Qing’er053’s words.

"And then that person with such high martial arts skills chose to open a brothel in Suzhou?" Chi'er rolled her eyes at Hu San Niang, her expression of disgust seemingly saying that Hu San Niang was simply an idiot.

"You still look at me like that? Although that person didn't have a reason to open a brothel in Suzhou and then not continue the pursuit." Although Tiger Third Sister was angry that Chi'er, this silly fox demon, looked at her with such a condescending gaze, she couldn't deny that there was some truth to what Chi'er said.

"Maybe this is a brothel run by someone else?" Huang'er said thoughtfully.

"By the way, no matter what kind of business they're in, they at least need some kind of armed protection or financial backing. Perhaps this is the person who defeated the Moon Worship Cult Leader and another mysterious person with a lot of money who collaborated to build this world-famous Demon and Evil Pavilion in Suzhou City," Tiger Third Sister said decisively.

"So, Tiger Third Sister, you're being silly again. What benefits can this highly skilled person gain from protecting this mysterious person's Demon Sect?" Chi'er asked, thinking herself clever.

"Hmph, of course he wants to get more information. No matter how strong he is, he's only one person. So, this Chi'er is just stupid."

Chapter Seventy-Five: Rack of Brains

"What did you say! Let's see if you dare to say it again after I catch you." Chi'er was furious and embarrassed, and looked like she was about to rush towards Hu San Niang.

"Stop arguing, let's get down to business first." Greenie grabbed Chi'er, who was lunging at Tiger Third Sister, and then gestured to Tiger Third Sister to continue.

"So, in order to obtain more information, this highly skilled martial artist cooperated with this mysterious, wealthy, and powerful man. In just three months, they turned the Demon Pavilion into a world-renowned brothel, indirectly spreading their spies throughout the entire world." Tiger Third Sister said confidently while making a face at Chi'er.

"While it's debatable whether such a coincidence of two people exists, Tiger Third Sister's current reasoning is quite reasonable." Qing'er thought Tiger Third Sister's words were very correct, so she affectionately patted Tiger Third Sister's head.
