Chapter 369: 211, Leave Heavenly Abyss, meet the leader of Falling Star School_2
"The Fox Ancestor in the Jade Coffin is... alive."
"She..."
Nangong Ancestor was so frightened that his hairs stood on end. He transformed back into his original form, ready to abandon the Jade Green Coffin and flee.
However, just as the seven-tailed red fox had run less than a few hundred steps and was about to escape the Main Hall, an invisible force rolled it back.
The Main Hall suddenly closed.
"Just now, I was merely joking with the two of you..."
"Please don’t take offense."
Nangong Ancestor stood near the Jade Coffin, covering her mouth and laughing softly, her face even more charming than before.
As she spoke, the Jade Coffin turned into dust and was swallowed by her.
"My fellow daoists, don’t make a mistake."
"Nangong Ancestor" had a faintly cold gaze, and her delicate body emitted an extremely powerful aura.
It seemed that if Xu Xing and Yin Shou resisted her in the slightest, she would immediately suppress and kill them.
"Silence!"
Xu Xing frowned, teleported directly, and suppressed "Nangong Ancestor" with the Flying Immortal Purple Mansion.
He trapped "Nangong Ancestor’s" body inside the Flying Immortal Purple Mansion.
Endless Killing Formations evolved.
Yin Shou, at the side, also took this opportunity to immediately cast various dark curses.
Xu Xing and Yin Shou were not fools.
If this so-called "Fox Ancestor" truly had the power to suppress and kill them, she wouldn’t waste time talking to them at this moment.
The Fox Ancestor was trapped in an instant.
She deployed her Jade Green Coffin and began to fight against Xu Xing’s Flying Immortal Purple Mansion.
As different Dao Principles collided, rays of light burst forth within the hall.
The lids of the three coffins were lifted by the residual forces.
In the first coffin lay a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, dressed in magnificent clothes.
His hands were crossed over his lower abdomen, with a Jade Gui held beneath his palms.
In the second coffin lay a beautiful woman with a fairy-like temperament, her delicate body covered by a golden silk canopy.
In the third coffin lay a skeleton, its bones like jade.
"Heavenly Fox King?"
Xu Xing was startled.
He didn’t recognize two of the corpses in the coffins, but the middle one was deeply etched into his memory.
It was Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun!
During their time in the War God Temple, Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun and Shi Yuyan had entered the Bronze Immortal Door together, arriving in the Emperor Jin World...
Afterward, he had lost track of Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun.
In his past life, when he was on the verge of dying, he didn’t have much time to inquire about his old friend, the Heavenly Fox King.
He never expected Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun to appear here.
"So, this Fox Ancestor..."
Xu Xing looked at the "Nangong Ancestor" he was fighting with a complex gaze.
The appearance of the Fragrant Fox Sect in the Wu Yi Mountain Range was probably not a coincidence.
However, even though he speculated that this Fox Ancestor might be the Heavenly Fox King, he showed no mercy.
It was a life-and-death battle.
To show mercy without absolute assurance was to harm oneself.
"This king is willing to make an Oath of the Great Dao. If you help me break free, I will lead you out of this Heavenly Abyss and into the real world."
"Otherwise, you’ll just be like headless flies bumping around inside the West Emperor Palace..."
"If you waste too much time and outsiders come in, it won’t be easy for you to escape."
"Nangong Ancestor" gradually couldn’t hold on any longer. Her tone changed, and she began to seek peace.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t beat these two juniors.
It was just that if she used forbidden techniques, the losses would outweigh the gains.
"Alright."
Xu Xing took the opportunity to de-escalate.
After arriving at the West Emperor Palace, the Immortal Blood in his body had already transmitted some information about the palace to him.
This included the method to leave the Heavenly Abyss.
And the secret technique to take the bronze cauldron.
However, the Immortal Blood hadn’t revealed any information about Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun.
The three coffins in the Main Hall.
In the inherited memories carried by the Immortal Blood, there was no record of them.
"Alright, I’ll make an Oath of the Great Dao and lead you out of the West Emperor Palace. But you must also swear not to attack me during this time..."
"Nangong Ancestor" let out a sigh of relief and stated her condition.
Xu Xing and Yin Shou readily agreed.
The three of them immediately signed the Oath of the Great Dao.
The Oath of the Great Dao, in terms of binding power, was not as strong as some evil curses or Blood Oaths.
However, this was true for Bottom-level Cultivators.
At the Shaping Life Realm, if a cultivator violated the Oath of the Great Dao, although it wouldn’t lead to their path being completely cut off, the consequences were generally extremely severe.
The Jade Coffin was spat out again by ’Nangong Ancestor’.
A nine-tailed white fox corpse was revealed as the Jade Green Coffin opened.
"This is a soul corpse..."
"No wonder Nangong Wei was a little abnormal after Returning to the Netherworld..."
The realization dawned on Yin Shou belatedly.
Corpses salvaged from the River of Nether were generally called ’soul corpses’.
According to his speculation, this nine-tailed white fox’s soul corpse must have been mistakenly salvaged by Nangong Ancestor during her Returning to the Netherworld from the Netherworld.
Examples like this were not rare.
Ghost Immortals often mistakenly salvaged others’ soul corpses when Returning to the Netherworld.
However, these soul corpses usually belonged to those already dead.
Nangong Ancestor and this nine-tailed white fox both belonged to the Fox Clan and had similar bloodlines, which was why she had accidentally salvaged this nine-tailed white fox’s soul corpse.
"Has there ever been a Ghost Immortal in the Fragrant Fox Sect’s history who successfully completed Returning to the Netherworld?" Xu Xing wondered.
He guessed that Nangong Ancestor salvaging the Heavenly Fox King’s soul corpse from the Netherworld Wasteland might have something to do with him.
Over thousands of years, why had Nangong Ancestor, of all people, salvaged the Heavenly Fox King’s soul corpse?
The more he thought about it, the fishier it seemed.
"There shouldn’t be..."
"The Fragrant Fox Sect has always relied on other sects. They have never had a Ghost Immortal at the Returning to the Netherworld Realm."
Yin Shou frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Before Xu Xing appeared in the Wu Yi Mountain Range, Approaching Yang Realm Ghost Immortals were already considered dominant in the Wu Yi Mountain Range."
