Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

However, Tiger Third Sister could only watch in agony as Lin Yaoxie did as he pleased in the environment, and in her heart, she begged Lin Yaoxie to have mercy.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Ins and Outs

Looking at the past of the fox demon clan and their complete defeat at the hands of the Moon Worship Cult Leader and his followers, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but feel weary and disgusted with this stagnant fox demon clan.

Perhaps the fox demon clan would feel excited or moved by the sacrifices and risks made for them by their leaders, such as the Moon Worship Cult Leader, the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, and Tiger Third Sister.

But what is the reality? It is precisely because of these people's so-called dignity and insistence that the fox demon clan has fallen from being precious beasts of the celestial realm to being dirty and filthy tools of humans, thus becoming dependent on others and used as tools.

Even if their later dedication and sacrifice are described in the most noble way, it is nothing more than them filling the deep pit for their wrong decisions and leadership.

"Just like this naive fox spirit who claims to bear the heavy burden of the fox spirit clan, even though the fox spirit clan's final chance to succeed and live freely is right in front of him, he still insists on trampling on the fox spirit clan's status again." Looking at the subconscious smugness and arrogance in Tiger Third Sister's heart, Lin Yaoxie said with deep disdain.

"So this is why you want to find out who we are? Just so your pointless arrogance will make your sisters and the fox demon clan suffer in vain?" Lin Yaoxie asked Hu Sanniang, who was also in the illusion.

"Look at the fox demon clan now, and then look at the fox demon clan led by the nine-tailed fox who was once comparable to the ancient divine beasts. Don't you think about why this is the case?"

"It's because little girls like you, who haven't even grown their hair yet, have become leaders of the fox demon clan! An incompetent leader is leading his incompetent followers down a path of continuous decline."

"Look, look, just like how you directly submitted to the Moon Worship Cult Leader with such simple and brutal violence, and paid a bloody price, now you, the actual leader of the Fox Demon Clan, have bowed your head to me, Lin Yaoxie, whose origins are unknown. Where is the dignity that your Fox Demon Clan has always been so proud of?"

"You tuck your tails between your legs and beg for forgiveness, yet you have absolutely no loyalty. Whether it's the Immortal Realm that wants you to repent or the Moon Worship Cult Leader who uses you as tools, they both want you to at least demonstrate the unique value and loyalty of the fox demon clan! However, you use vague concepts like dignity and freedom to betray others everywhere. Do you have to pay another bloody price before you truly realize how foolish you are?"

As Lin Yaoxie watched the weak and powerless fox clan wandering around and being crushed to the bottom, he recalled his own tragic experiences. His original contempt had completely turned into something akin to anger, and his gaze gradually shifted from reprimanding ignorant children to genuine rage towards adults.

"No, no, do you want us to watch the fox demon clan be caught between the immortal realm and the mortal realm, and then the race will be torn apart? Do you want the Moon Worship Cult Leader to completely wipe out all the fox demon clan members except for the nine of us?" Tiger Third Sister looked at the arrogant Lin Yaoxie in front of her and tried her best to resist the ideas he wanted to transmit to her that were completely opposite to her own values.

"So this is your excuse for pretending to be righteous? When a group can't even protect the freedom of its own individuals, why cling to this dilapidated building instead of letting things fall apart like a fallen tree scattering across the lake?"

However, the seven sisters beside her had no intention of listening to Lin Yaoxie any further. Although they, like Hu Sanniang, knew that they were no match for Lin Yaoxie, the fact that their efforts as eight sisters had been so ruthlessly denied and trampled upon plunged them into pain and anger.

Lin Yaoxie continued to look at the information gathered by the Fox Clan's Soul-Searching Technique. Now, the spells and illusions used by the eight members of the Fox Clan were completely under Lin Yaoxie's control. The Fox Clan's spells were searched by the eight foxes together, and through repeated reconnaissance, the information gathering on a certain thing reached a very high level of precision.

However intense the anger of the eight sisters was, and how firm the will of the fox demon clan was, in front of Lin Yaoxie, these things were nothing more than powerless people shouting slogans. Such powerless beings, no matter how loudly they shouted their slogans, were nothing but self-deception.

"Staying in this illusion is pointless." Lin Yaoxie had no interest in the pitiful history of the fox demon race. Unable to find any more information about the Moon Worship Cult Leader, Lin Yaoxie forcibly shattered the illusion created by the Soul Searching Technique.

After all, Lin Yaoxie already knew roughly what the eight sisters of the fox demon clan knew. He already knew everything about the Moon Worship Cult Leader's injury and return to the country, as well as the increase of his spies, through his own Yaoxie Workshop in Suzhou.

As the space created by the Soul Searching Technique was shattered by Lin Yaoxie, Lin Yaoxie, Hu Sanniang, and her seven sisters were completely ejected from this illusion, and their insignificant attacks on Lin Yaoxie came to an abrupt end.

Because after releasing the Soul Searching Technique and being interfered with and occupied by Lin Yaoxie in the illusion, the eight fox demons all suffered internal injuries of varying degrees. Most importantly, the intense aura that Lin Yaoxie, whose heart was filled with rage, released the moment he left the illusion directly suppressed the eight fox demons.

If Hu San Niang and her eight fox demons were once ancient divine beasts, nine-tailed foxes, they might not have been intimidated by Lin Yao Xie's serious display of power (only a third of his strength). However, now they only possess the physical strength of a nine-tailed fox, but lack any matching cultivation or magic.

The eight fox demons were no match for Lin Yaoxie, who could easily defeat the Moon Worship Cult Leader. Looking at this incredibly powerful person in front of her, Tiger Third Sister realized how foolish and ignorant she had been, actually thinking of Lin Yaoxie as just a powerful and mysterious figure.

Only after witnessing Lin Yaoxie's strength firsthand did Hu Sanniang realize that, like the Moon Worship Cult Leader, she was limited by what she had seen and experienced in the past, and completely lacked the imagination to imagine a being with the same terrifying strength as Lin Yaoxie. This was also the reason why they had both misjudged Lin Yaoxie's strength.

"Let the seven of us hold him off here. Tiger Third Sister, you try to escape!" Although Chi'er could see the difference in strength between the two sides, the other six sisters still hoped that Tiger Third Sister, as their leader, could escape.

"What a touching and profound emotion! Go ahead and give it a try." Lin Yaoxie put his hands behind his back and began toying with the eight fox demons again.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: No Way Out

"You can run away as you please, but I, Lin Yaoxie, guarantee with my reputation that I will never leave this circle." Lin Yaoxie drew a circle under his feet, looking at the fox demon clan with a provocative expression.

If Lin Yaoxie's anger before stemmed from the foolish behavior of the fox demon clan, which only followed the crowd and pushed their clan's affairs onto an equally foolish next leader, now Lin Yaoxie, looking at these eight fox demons who were simply trying to survive, had the idea of ​​toying with them.

Now, these eight fox spirits, stunned by Lin Yaoxie's words, were only thinking of protecting each other's lives. This wasn't the hypocritical, pretentious talk of saving the entire fox spirit clan they had clung to before; it was a genuine and simple fear of death they had felt from Lin Yaoxie, and a real desire to protect the lives of their beloved sisters.

This is why Lin Yaoxie asked Zhao Ling'er, the Moon Worship Cult Leader, and various other people why he could become so powerful, so unreasonable—it was because of his pursuit of desire.

These eight fox demons no longer carried the burden of being the last remaining hope of the fox demon clan; all that remained was the desire to preserve their lives.

After realizing what was happening, Tiger Third Sister and her seven sisters immediately began to flee in eight different directions without any hesitation.

"Come on, struggle, little fox demons, and then figure out how you can become stronger." Looking at the eight little fox demons struggling under his enormous demonic hand, Lin Yaoxie also recalled his own stubbornness and struggle all along.

Meanwhile, eight fox demons were running through the mountains and forests behind the dilapidated inn. Although Lin Yaoxie was terrifying, the eight fox demons inexplicably believed that as long as they ran out of the forest, they could escape Lin Yaoxie's clutches.

"But why are we running away? Is it to go back and continue protecting our own people? Or is it to protect our seven sisters who have always been by our side?" The eight fox demons thought to themselves as they ran.

The impact of Lin Yaoxie far exceeded that of the Moon Worship Cult Leader. If the Moon Worship Cult Leader's invasion only changed the way of life and personal goals of the fox demon clan led by Hu Sanniang, then Lin Yaoxie's impact completely made Hu Sanniang and her seven sisters rethink their roots and the meaning of their existence.

Whether it's fortunate or regrettable, when the eight fox spirits ran in eight different directions to the forest's exit, they still hadn't found the answer to the meaning of their existence.

As the eight fox spirits stared with shining eyes at the exit of the forest, each filled with a mixture of relief and worry, what they saw before them nearly drove them to despair.

"You eight little fox demons run really fast, but have you found the answer to the question yet? Or are you just going around in circles like you are now?" The one who appeared was none other than Lin Yaoxie, whom they were desperately trying to escape.

"Why?" Tiger Third Sister and her seven sisters looked at each other with confusion and despair, their eyes gradually becoming filled with despair.

"I've already tried my best to escape, no..." Tiger Third Sister's eyes gradually changed from hopeful to lifeless, staring blankly at Lin Yaoxie.

"I was hoping you could figure it out yourselves, after all, you claim to be the most powerful fox demons in illusion magic, but you can't see through it at all." Lin Yaoxie shrugged, seemingly giving his little disciples a helpless instruction.

"You mean illusion magic?" Tiger Third Sister's eyes regained some light, because Lin Yaoxie was actually reminding her of something.

Lin Yaoxie looked at the clueless Tiger Third Sister who still clung to the desire to survive and escape, and said with satisfaction, "That's right, you've fallen into my illusion. This is the seventh time you've screamed and run back into the forest after encountering me. You, Tiger Third Sister, finally dare to ask me a question?"

"It was repeated seven times? Impossible! Why don't we have any memory of it at all!" Cheng'er, standing next to Tiger Third Sister, shouted in disbelief.

"The best way for any living being to recall what it has done is to look directly at the results of what it has done. What you have done is simply to avoid facing the real support of this illusion and to run away aimlessly following your desire to survive. Such fruitless things will naturally leave no results. In other words..." Lin Yaoxie said mysteriously.

"...In other words, if we continue like this, it will only lead to an endless cycle." Tiger Third Sister looked at Lin Yaoxie's grinning face.

“Yes, if you can’t find it in a day, you’ll only feel tired and hungry. But how will you survive in a world where you can’t sleep or drink water?” Lin Yaoxie guided Hu Sanniang and her seven sisters step by step.

"We can only find the supporting structure of this illusion, right?" Tiger Third Sister looked at Lin Yaoxie's confident expression and knew that the illusion created by this evil man was definitely not an ordinary illusion that could be easily solved with another Soul Searching Technique.

"What is it?! Tiger Third Sister, think of something! If this continues, we're all doomed..." Even the once energetic Cheng'er lowered her voice after only saying half of what she said, which showed how disheartened the seven sisters were.

"It's clearly not this forest, and it can't be the Forest Demon herself. What could it be?" Tiger Third Sister racked her brains in this heavy and desperate atmosphere.

Time passed by, but despite trying everything, Tiger Third Sister couldn't find any relevant clues. She paid no attention to anything around her.

"Tiger Third Sister, is it really okay for you to keep thinking like this? Especially is it really okay to focus your thoughts on these trivial things?" Lin Yaoxie's sudden voice pulled Tiger Third Sister back from her thoughts.

It was only then that Tiger Third Sister realized that her seven sisters were fighting against some kind of shadow.

"What are these things?" Tiger Third Sister asked Lin Yaoxie nervously.

"This is the accumulation of all your negative emotions. It's not so easy for you to vent them in this illusion," Lin Yaoxie said, each word striking at Hu Sanniang's heart.

Chapter Eighty: The Will to Survive

Watching her sisters struggle painfully with their own negative emotions, Tiger Third Sister, already in great pain, couldn't help but shed tears.

"You've given up thinking now that you're just one step away from success? But by wallowing in your pain, you're only intensifying your sisters' suffering." Lin Yaoxie's words kept echoing in Hu Sanniang's ears.

Despite the pain, Hu San Niang forced herself to think. Even though her body was groaning from exhaustion and internal injuries, she forced her brain to keep thinking and figure out what made this illusion possible.

“This illusion reflects the evil forces within us…” Tiger Third Sister thought of something.

Then Tiger Third Sister looked up at her sisters who were fighting and asked, "What were you thinking about in the woods besides running away?"

Chi'er remembered that she was thinking about the meaning of running away, and the other sisters should be too. "Now, among the seven sisters, only Chi'er, who has the strongest physical abilities, can barely answer."

"What's the point of running away?" Tiger Third Sister already had the answer to break the illusion in her heart, but just like when she faced the Nine-Tailed Fox spirit, she was unwilling to answer, afraid that her inner desires would taint her wishes.

“Yes, yes, now as long as we keep saying things like ‘I, Tiger Third Sister, must escape this illusion to protect the fox demon clan,’ we can ensure that our wishes are not trampled on.” Lin Yaoxie was trying to elicit the wrong answer from Tiger Third Sister’s heart.

Hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, Tiger Third Sister turned back to look at her seven fox demon sisters who were still struggling to survive. Having made up her mind, she spoke loudly and resolutely:

"The purpose of our eight sisters escaping this illusion is to save our lives," Tiger Third Sister revealed the inner thoughts of herself and her seven sisters.

The moment she spoke, Tiger Third Sister seemed to feel a sense of ease and relief, as if all the heavy burden on her shoulders had been lifted off her shoulders.

"Congratulations, Miss Tiger Third Sister answered correctly!" Lin Yaoxie clapped his hands in a mocking manner, and the illusion he had created dissipated.

The moment Tiger Third Sister and her seven sisters emerged from the illusion, they collapsed onto the snow. The eight fox demons couldn't even maintain their human forms and fell to the ground in their fox forms.

"Looks like you're all exhausted, but you haven't had much time to rest. Get up now and wake up the four people who came with me, then cooperate with them and do your best..."

"All that the two of you can do is keep this dilapidated inn afloat."

Lin Yaoxie, calm and collected, looked at the eight fox demons lying on the ground without any tenderness or sympathy, but spoke in a commanding tone.

"You bastard, are you still going to order us around?" Although Tiger Third Sister's words were full of anger, her weak voice had no power at all.

"You're the ones who said I should go easy on you and then you'd have to be my slaves. Fine, if you won't do it, then ask this person how they're going to treat you."

Just as Hu Sanniang looked at Lin Yaoxie with a question in her mind, Lin Yaoxie just rolled his eyes at her and then said fiercely towards the direction of the woods: "You inhuman thing hiding in the woods, get out here and let me see your dog face."

With heavy thuds, a nine-headed serpent approached Lin Yaoxie. The monster's lower body was covered in scales, while its upper body had nine forked heads and necks, one of which was the body and head of the Moon Worship Cult leader.

"As expected, your fox demon clan has betrayed us again, but now is not the time to deal with you." The nine-headed hydra monster stared intently at Lin Yaoxie with all eighteen of its eyes.

"You're the leader of the Moon Worship Cult? Oh dear, I told you to show me your true skills, but I never expected you to turn out like this." Lin Yaoxie said with a look of disdain.

At this moment, Hu San Niang and her seven sister fox demons, who were hiding behind Lin Yaoxie, were trembling incessantly. If the evil aura and powerful strength of the previous Moon Worship Cult Leader had already made them uncontrollably afraid, then this terrifying monster now brought them the same terror as Lin Yaoxie.

"Go and wake them up quickly. If you can't wake them up, beat them awake. The Moon Worship Cult Leader isn't stupid enough to not consider you as part of his fighting force," Lin Yaoxie said in a tone that seemed to be chasing away the eight fox demons.

So Tiger Third Sister and her seven sisters practically crawled into the dilapidated inn, but the inhuman, ghostly Lord of the Moon Worship Cult in front of Lin Yaoxie seemed to have no reaction at all.

"It seems this person is about to lose his mind. Is he focusing all his attention on me?" Lin Yaoxie observed the Moon Worship Cult Leader, trying to figure out what the Moon Worship Cult Leader had done to him.

The reason why the Moon Worship Cult Leader suddenly appeared was because he had always known that the fox demon clan represented by Tiger Third Sister was just feigning surrender. The Moon Worship Cult Leader had already placed spies among the fox demon clan.

When Lin Yaoxie and his group arrived at the dilapidated inn, Lin Yaoxie's illusion caused a strange change in the magic used to observe the fox demon clan. The two Moon Worship Cult members responsible for the observation immediately ran to report this to the Moon Worship Cult leader.

The Moon Worship Cult members were still hesitant about whether to tell the Moon Worship Cult Leader about this matter, but almost a whole month had passed since the Moon Worship Cult Leader himself said he would emerge from seclusion after his cultivation.

Thus, two members of the Moon Worship Cult were chosen as scapegoats—no, they were given the noble task of reminding the Moon Worship Cult leader.

This was the first time the Moon Worship Cult Leader, who had completed his cultivation and transformed into a nine-headed serpent, faced his loyal followers, the Moon Worship Cult Leaders. When these followers, who had almost fanatical faith in the Moon Worship Cult Leader, saw this being fused with the Water Demon Beast and still called the Moon Worship Cult Leader, they were greatly surprised.

"'Master, is that the Lord Master?'" the two Moon Worshipers asked in surprise, their words and actions still maintaining the respect they had for their leader, but in their hearts, only the thought of running away remained.

"Hungry, so hungry... Who are you?" The Moon Worship Cult Leader stared blankly at the two Moon Worship Cult members in front of him, while the remaining eight snake heads drooled and looked extremely hungry.

However, just as the Moon Worshippers screamed and fled to the hall, the snake-bodied Moon Worshippers had already rushed into the Moon Worship Sect's hall and began a brutal massacre and a delicious meal.

So, the Moon Worship Cult Leader, who had almost lost his mind, immediately set off and rushed towards Lin Yaoxie, leaving behind only the remains of the equally irrational and crazed Moon Worship Cult members.

Chapter 8H - The Final Battle

"Lin Yaoxie, didn't you say you wanted to fight to your heart's content?" The crazed Moon Worship Cult Leader approached Lin Yaoxie step by step, and it was clear that this nine-headed serpent was covered in blood and exuded a frenzied aura.

Lin Yaoxie turned to look at the dilapidated inn. Hu Sanniang and her sisters had already woken up Zhao Ling'er and the others. Zhao Ling'er, Anu, Lin Yueru, and Tang Gui Xiaobao were standing by the window on the first floor, nervously watching Lin Yaoxie and the Moon Worship Cult Leader.

Lin Yaoxie could tell from their expressions that they each had a lot to say, but he knew he didn't have time to listen to them.

"Although I was thinking about how to improve the coordination between these unbalanced teams, it seems that the opportunity is gone now." Lin Yaoxie's heart was filled with emotion.

However, Lin Yaoxie was not one of those delicate and pretentious girls. She simply waved her hand lightly and then turned her head to face the deformed leader of the Moon Worship Cult.
