Chapter 70: Confrontation with the Black Fox

The Black Fox’s bloodline was not on the same level as the heavenly fox Sima Qian.

This Black Fox would almost certainly never cultivate into a Great Demon in its lifetime.

Now Pan Yi was telling him that eating Bai He could make him a Great Demon.

How could Bai He possibly let this happen?

Those eyes stared straight at him, sending shivers down his spine.

"Thank you for your generosity. Rest assured, once I eat him and become a Great Demon, I will go kill that person called Ye Shiyuan for you. That way, in your terms... it will be mutually beneficial."

Bai He gritted his teeth and said, "Pan Yi, you actually cooperate with demons! The Lingguang Sect will never accept you."

"Little Elder Bai, I have been in the Lingguang Sect for many years, of course I know the rules. So, only you will know about this. If you die, who will know? Then, without Little Elder Bai, without Ye Shiyuan, the Master will eventually start valuing me."

Pan Yi was already imagining his bright future.

Bai He gritted his teeth.

He should have killed Pan Yi back then, just killed him outright.

Then none of this would have happened.

"Host, don’t worry. The system hasn’t detected any danger to you."

Bai He could hardly believe that at a time like this, the system could even say something like that.

"Are you sure? You really think I’m not in danger right now? Look carefully, do I look like I’m not in danger?"

Mo Zhu felt a little innocent. "Host, these are system readings. It has nothing to do with me."

The Black Fox slowly stepped in front of Bai He.

It could no longer wait, it wanted to devour him.

Yet when it tried to apply its spiritual power onto Bai He, it was as if something had rebounded.

It wasn’t the Xuantian Barrier, Bai He had already retracted the Xuantian Barrier.

This was the invisible armor provided by the system earlier.

It was worn on his body, although it wouldn’t be much against a Great Demon like Sima Qian, it was more than sufficient to handle the fox demon before him.

The Black Fox looked at its own palm and feeling a burning sensation. "How... how is this possible?"

Even Pan Yi was astonished.

He had tried to strike Bai He, but it had no effect.

Instead, his own force seemed to sink into a sponge, completely absorbed.

"Hmph! You two actually think you can do anything to me? I am an elder of the Lingguang Sect, Pan Yi. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?"

The system’s data, after all, wasn’t lying to him.

Bai He felt a surge of satisfaction, he was fine.

As long as he waited a little longer, Ye Shiyuan would surely come looking.

After all, his disappearance was no trivial matter.

"How can this be..." Pan Yi tried several more strikes against Bai He, all without effect.

It seemed as though Bai He was completely protected by some force.

Pan Yi had to kill him.

If Bai He survived, his collusion with demons would be exposed and then his life would be over.

"Pan Yi, I told you earlier to release me. You refused. You didn’t really think I was afraid of you, did you? Now, you’ve already lost your chance."

"Host, you were scared earlier. Now you’re getting arrogant?"

"What do you know? When it’s time to be arrogant, you must be arrogant. What if in the next moment, I can’t even be arrogant?"

Bai He inwardly despised Mo Zhu a little.

"What kind of person did you bring me? Didn’t you say he was weak? He isn’t even half your strength."

The Black Fox began to feel fear.

To offend the Lingguang Sect?

How could that end well?

And the person before it wasn’t just an ordinary disciple, he was an elder of the Lingguang Sect, the Junior Brother of the current Sect Master, and even a disciple of the founding ancestor of the Lingguang Sect.

How could a small fox demon dare to defy him?

Originally, the fox demon had thought that if it could become a Great Demon, it would have nothing to fear.

But now, in this situation, how could it not be afraid?

"Ahem, Black Fox, you haven’t done anything heinous, have you?"

"Immortal, you must believe me. I’m very weak, and I’ve always hidden here to cultivate. I’ve never harmed anyone. It was he who said he could help me become a Great Demon. I was deceived for a moment, and that’s why... Immortal, please spare me."

Bai He nodded slightly.

If this Black Fox were like the Heavenly Fox Sima Qian who had killed countless people, he might not have spared her.

But if she had only been quietly cultivating, without harming anyone, Bai He had no desire to punish her further.

"If you release me, I won’t pursue this matter any further."

Hearing this, the Black Fox immediately tried to lift the immobilization spell from Bai He.

However, Pan Yi grabbed the Black Fox: "Are you insane? Don’t lift it for him!"

"Let go! He said he would spare me."

"You trust what he says? He won’t spare you! Kill him, do whatever you can to make sure he dies."

Bai He looked at Pan Yi in disbelief.

He seemed completely mad and trapped in some delusion.

Taking advantage of the moment, the Black Fox actually freed Bai He’s restraints.

Bai He immediately regained full mobility.

The fact that he had reached the Golden Core stage wasn’t widely known and Pan Yi had vastly overestimated him, truly thinking Bai He was no match.

If Pan Yi hadn’t used such despicable underhanded methods, Bai He would never have been captured and brought to this place.

...

"This should be the place."

Following the special compass in Gu Wenyuan’s hands, Bai He finally found a cave.

Gu Wenyuan said that Ye Shiyuan’s Master was inside.
