Chapter 2214: Chapter 2210: Not United as One

Until Aunt Meng introduced Blood Hand Granny, saying that Tang Ming is the mayor of West Continent Town and will be building a city there in the future.

Blood Hand Granny was anxious inside, yet it didn’t change her Poison Hand nature. She got along with Aunt Meng and didn’t say much more. As soon as Tang Ming entered, she threw a bucket of cold water on him.

"Of course not. There are many who can perform Alchemy, but those who can catch my eye, Hu Jiusheng’s eye, are few. His surname is Tang, and he is my son-in-law."

Hu Jiusheng’s voice wasn’t loud, but it sounded like a thunderclap in Blood Hand Granny’s ears.

Blood Hand Granny was born in West Continent City. At that time, the City Lord of West Continent City was surnamed Tang and was called Tang Mosheng.

It can be said that in her era, she witnessed Tang Mosheng’s control over West Continent City, during its most prosperous time.

At that time, who in West Continent City didn’t speak well of the Tang Family? Without the Tang Family, they were all miners, all at the bottom.

Those people not only enslaved them but wouldn’t even let them eat their fill.

Blood Hand Granny’s brother and father were beaten to death while mining. But after Tang Mosheng came here to build the city, everyone received a Cultivation Technique and could become strong. Hence, West Continent City became very united.

Later, the Demon Abyss broke through the plane of Taoyuan World, and the Underground Demon Pond started to have powerful demons continuously rushing forth.

To care for the old, weak, women, and children of West Continent City, Tang Mosheng arranged to send Blood Hand Granny and her mother to West Desolation City.

Later, Blood Hand Granny heard that West Continent City was breached, and the City Lord Tang left because he was injured.

Hu Jiusheng was one of the managers of West Continent City in those years. During the construction of West Continent City, he followed Tang Mosheng.

Now, he says that Tang Ming’s surname is Tang and is his son-in-law, which naturally implies that Tang Ming has a significant connection to the previous Tang Mosheng.

"So that’s it, I never thought, old fox, that you’re such a nostalgic demon."

Blood Hand Granny started laughing heartily, and as she laughed, tears rolled down her face.

Hu Jiusheng sighed deeply and then said, "Blood Hand, you were also from West Continent City back in the day. I know, you’re unhappy about your son’s affair. But it’s not that we didn’t want to help you, we just couldn’t. Back then, the Jiulong Dynasty was still under the control of Jiulong Tower."

Blood Hand Granny suddenly raised her head, looking at Hu Jiusheng in astonishment: "You mean, those who targeted this old woman back then were from Jiulong Tower."

"Hahaha, I didn’t say that, and besides, Jiulong Tower isn’t a monolith, is it?"

Hu Jiusheng smiled and then walked out.

Tang Ming remained silent for a long time, then deeply bowed to Blood Hand Granny: "Senior, your body has not yet recovered. I will have someone send you some Elixir Powder for strengthening your health. I’ll be going to West Continent City with Mei’er later. If there’s anything, we can talk later."

Blood Hand Granny nodded. She leaned back on the rattan chair, closed her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Tang Ming, what do you think of this old lady? Should she stay, or should we let her fend for herself?"

Following Tang Ming out, Hu Mei’er asked as she looked at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming shook his head: "It’s hard to say now. We have to see her attitude. I really hope she can stay. We don’t have many strong people on our side. Your father and the Great Demons in your family can only rely on the Formation to guard the Fox Spirit Mountain Range. To rise again as West Continent City, we probably need to plan long-term."

"Hmm, you’ve got a point. What we can rely on most now is your father’s status and the old connections my father left behind. But those guys in West Desolation City aren’t pushovers either."

Hu Mei’er sighed deeply and then said.

"The only hope now is that there’s no movement from the Underground Demon Pond side for a while. This way, we can have enough preparation time. I was really afraid before that Blood Hand Granny was injured because of the demons. That would be when we’d really have a headache."

Tang Ming sighed, and the two walked into the dining hall.

The dining hall was filled with many people. The Fox Demon Clan wasn’t good at planting; they only raised small demon beasts called gray-eyed rabbits as food.

Gray-eyed rabbits are a type of demon beast with very low intelligence, and because of their strong reproductive abilities, many demon clans raise them as food.

After Tang Ming and the others came, the types of low-level demon beasts increased, such as the blue-tailed chicken and long-haired pig, which made the fox demons in Fox Spirit Mountain dazzled.

Yesterday, Tang Ming planted a batch of vegetables, and today there were many more vegetables accompanying the meat on the dining table.

Because of Hu Jiusheng, these fox demons rarely ventured down the mountain and had little contact with outsiders. When they ate a meal cooked by humans, their faces all showed an expression of enchantment.

Tang Ming’s lips curved upward slightly, and then he said: "Mei’er, your clansmen are really easy to please. Just a few delicious meals can win their loyalty. If they ever go down the mountain, they’ll be easily lured away."

The people of the Fox Clan, with more women than men, are all attractive. Tang Ming felt that Hu Jiusheng’s decision not to let them go down the mountain freely was a wise one.

"Haven’t you heard that the Fox Clan is the most clever? I think my clansmen certainly like the Immortal Chef profession. They’re sure to ask you to teach them culinary skills next. You should be prepared."

Hu Mei’er whispered to Tang Ming, who shook his head in disbelief.

But just as Hu Mei’er’s voice lingered in Tang Ming’s ear, a charming figure approached Tang Ming.

"Nephew Tang Ming, I have a request and hope you will agree."

Fox Bachang approached Tang Ming, bowed slightly, and smiled as she spoke.

Hu Mei’er gave Tang Ming a "I told you so" look, and Tang Ming laughed: "Aunt Ba, what is it? If there’s anything I can help with, I certainly will."

The Clan Leader of the Fox Demon Clan in the Fox Spirit Mountain Range is Hu Jiusheng, and assisting Hu Jiusheng are eight Great Demons titled the Eight Elders.

These eight people, due to their power and strength, were named Eight to One.

The Fox Clan has always revered the number nine because their most powerful bloodline is the Nine-tailed Demon Fox descended from the Heavenly Fox.

Hu Mei’er and her father Hu Jiusheng are both of the Eight-tailed Fire Fox bloodline. Eighth Elder Fox Bachang, however, is a variant of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox.

Hu Mei’er previously mentioned to Tang Ming that over the years, as Hu Jiusheng was imprisoned and Hu Mei’er captured, the Fox Spirit Mountain Range relied on Hu Jiusheng’s Formation and fame, and survived only thanks to this female fox’s boldness and arrogance.

Her combat strength long surpassed Hu Jiusheng, but she admired him greatly and wished to marry him. That’s why she unhesitatingly handed over her authority and wholeheartedly supported Hu Jiusheng.
