Chapter 902: Level Seven Talisman Master, Unexpected Change! (Two-in-One)

This way, it temporarily eased Su Qingqing’s declining breath.

But this does not solve the problem. Once Song Changming withdraws his master’s power, the two forces of cultivation within Su Qingqing will erupt again.

“Young Master, I am…”

Su Qingqing exited a meditation state, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked pale towards Song Changming.

“Am I…dying? If possible, I wish to see my mother once before I die, and then choose a place with good Feng Shui…for burial. I love those Seven Sceneries Flower…and you, Young Master…”

Song Changming listened, a headache brewing, knocking on Su Qingqing’s head as she began speaking her last words to herself.

“I never said you were dying, save those words for hundreds of years later.”

As Song Changming spoke, he took out a copper mirror, injecting spiritual power into it to activate.

A light gate opened accordingly, Song Changming led Su Qingqing to enter without hesitation.

He Ya followed along.

Now He Ya, this little tigress, was quite similar to Su Qingqing, serving closely by Song Changming’s side.

Time flew by, since He Ya was rescued by Song Changming, she had been by his side for thirty years, longer than most of the household servants.

Thus, by Song Changming’s side, He Ya was no stranger.

Even purely speaking of strength, this little tigress was Song Changming’s second strongest subordinate, only weaker than Yuan San, the ancestor of the Yin Spirit.

Southern Yuanzhou, the land of Fox Mountain.

A few little fox demon cubs were playing with bees and butterflies in the wild, chasing and frolicking, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Suddenly, the fox ears of those little fox demons perked up like antennas, looking towards the side of a distant hilltop.

There, a light gate opened abruptly in mid-air.

The little fox demons didn’t stay dumbfounded but instead smartly scattered away.

Song Changming walked out, accompanied by He Ya, his silver hair bound high; donned in black armor, his youthful, fair face bore a solemn expression.

Her character was not as lively as Su Qingqing, instead, she was somewhat stiff with a methodical nature.

She acknowledged herself as Song Changming’s guard, and would earnestly fulfill her duties without indulgence.

Though Su Qingqing’s complexion was still somewhat poor, under Song Changming’s protection, she at least recovered enough strength to walk.

“Fox Mountain…” Su Qingqing’s eyes lit up, she immediately recognized this place was the Fox Mountain domain of Yuanzhou upon stepping out of the light gate!

She was quite familiar with this place.

Several stretching mountains lay across expansive primordial forests, similar to Five Finger Mountain.

The peaks towered like clouds, snow persisted year-round, forming a white scene.

“Let’s go.” Song Changming stowed away the copper mirror, rode a thundercloud, bringing Su Qingqing and He Ya to fly towards Five Finger Mountain.

He did not intentionally conceal his aura, thus he was quickly detected by the fox demons on the mountain.

“Who are you!” Several fox demons stopped Song Changming.

They were unlike other demon races, who would attack humans sight unseen.

Only because the fox demons of Fox Mountain were friendly with the human race, both sides had long agreed upon trade, continually exchanging goods over decades.

Therefore, although these fox demons blocked Song Changming, they did not show much hostility.

Song Changming did not offer much explanation either, merely bringing Su Qingqing forward.

One of the fox demons quickly recognized Su Qingqing.

“You are the child of the Divine Fox!” That fox demon immediately said.

“I wish to see my mother,” Su Qingqing nodded, since she was recognized, there was no need for lengthy exchanges.

“Alright, please wait a moment, I’ll report this now.” The fox demon hurriedly went to one of the mountain tops to inform.

Soon after, a powerful perception swept over.

Followed by a white rainbow appearing in front of Song Changming and the others, it was Xi Yanxue, inheritor of the Nine-tailed Divine Fox lineage, Su Qingqing’s mother.

“Qingqing, what is happening?!” Xi Yanxue was not ordinary, immediately noticing Su Qingqing’s withering breath and life force, she was startled.

She had only Su Qingqing as a child, if anything happened to her, Xi Yanxue didn’t know if she could bear the pain.

Thus, her expression appeared tense.

Even when Fox Mountain faced strong enemy attacks, she hadn’t shown such tension.

“Mother, I’m temporarily alright, please don’t worry too much.” Su Qingqing seeing her mother’s excessive tension, hurriedly reassured.

“This visit was precisely to discuss this matter with Madam.” Song Changming also stated.

Xi Yanxue naturally noticed, currently, it depended entirely on Song Changming’s master’s power to sustain Su Qingqing’s life, otherwise, she might not have survived until now.

Xi Yanxue wanted to say more, but her gaze fell on the arriving He Ya, her tone turned cold.

“Why is a demon of the Thunder Wheel Tiger Race here?”

If traced back to ancient times, Fox Mountain did not get along with the Thunder Wheel Tiger Race, their conflicts were constant, linking deep-seated grudges.

Looking closely at the present, the Thunder Wheel Tiger Race hadn’t ceased its oppression against Fox Mountain for being close to humans.

If Thunderstruck Mountain hadn’t been far from Fox Mountain, if they shared a state, the two demon races would’ve fought darkly, be at irreconcilable odds.

Thus, seeing He Ya, this little tigress today wouldn’t have promised a welcoming demeanor.

If not for Song Changming and Su Qingqing, she would’ve acted, not spending breath on He Ya.

“Mother, Sister He Ya isn’t an enemy.” Su Qingqing hurriedly stopped her mother, saying.

“Indeed, she has little relation with the tiger race of Thunderstruck Mountain now, she is my guard.” Song Changming added.

Xi Yanxue, hearing this, still did not show favor towards He Ya, yet for Song Changming and Su Qingqing’s sake, she first welcomed the three into Fox Mountain, intending to discuss further later.

Regardless, the current priority was her daughter’s injury.

Atop one of Fox Mountain’s peaks, a finely polished cave residence opened to a snowy scenery.

Outside the cave, a stone pillar stood tall engraved with the words Divine Fox.

In ancient times, the fox race did possess several bloodlines, all referred to as Divine Fox.

Presently, only Xi Yanxue representing the Nine-tailed Divine Fox remains, others have long disappeared.

Today, Xi Yanxue held an esteemed position within the fox race, owning a fox mountain as her residence as the only fox demon with such privilege.

Within the cave, ice crystals and columns arranged beautifully, akin to a crystal palace.

Although Xi Yanxue was part of the demon race, she retained some human customs, pouring tea for Song Changming, while He Ya received a cold shoulder.

“Speak first of Qingqing’s injury, what is the situation?” Xi Yanxue refrained from returning to her throne, instead she held Su Qingqing, inspecting while inquiring.

That was her utmost concern.

Song Changming recounted the unforeseen incident during Su Qingqing’s breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm to Xi Yanxue.

Xi Yanxue listened, her brows furrowing ever tighter.

Evidently surprised by the major affair during Su Qingqing’s significant cultivation breakthrough.

If Song Changming hadn’t noticed promptly, Su Qingqing could’ve directly perished.

Reflecting on this, Xi Yanxue shivered, fear nodding within her.

“Madam, any clues?” Song Changming inquired.

Xi Yanxue exhaled, responding, “The balance has been disrupted.”

Song Changming pondered over her words.

Xi Yanxue clearly possessed greater insight into Su Qingqing’s unique constitution, continuing, “Simply put, the mastered power was too mighty, suppressing parts of the demon blood, the divine fox lineage within Qingqing rebelled for survival, collapsing into a self-destructive rebellion. If Young Master Song did not intervene, Qingqing might die either from the overpowering force or the self-destruction of the divine fox lineage!”

Su Qingqing listened, her face turning pale, unexpectedly realizing her cultivation would harbor such hidden risks.

The innate qi cultivated before was safe, only because it couldn’t rival the master’s power’s might.
