Chapter 15 The Fox King Presents His Treasure
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and Yang Chan stood outside Wansui City, and before the Fox King of Wansui could speak, he revealed his purpose.
The next moment, he chuckled softly, flicked his sleeves, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Guards, bring in this wicked City God who deceives his superiors and has committed countless evils!"
"Splash—"
Before long, the clanging sound of chains dragging on the ground could be heard.
Two strong demon soldiers shoved a celestial official who was shackled and chained forward.
But the celestial official wore a tattered gauze hat, a dirty scarlet official robe, disheveled hair and beard, and a deathly pale face.
It was that little devil city god who colluded with demons and wreaked havoc in the area!
He was pushed in front of Chen Xuan and Yang Chan, trembling violently, repeatedly pleading, "Immortal Master, spare my life! Immortal Master, spare my life!"
The Fox King immediately sneered and said, "This fiend, as the city god of this region, does not think of protecting the people, but instead colludes with demons. His crime is unforgivable. It just so happens that I have a bad relationship with this fellow, so I secretly sent a spy to be planted by his side. After learning that this fiend had been exposed and fled in panic, I ordered my men to capture him quickly. Now, I'm doing you a favor by offering him to the two immortals to deal with as they see fit."
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but feel a bit more appreciation and admiration for the Fox King's demonic ways.
Regardless of how the other person treats others.
Or perhaps it's about the cunning and tactics used to overthrow the opposing forces.
This mighty Fox King is truly meticulous and leaves no room for error!
That's a brilliant tactic!
Then, Chen Xuan merely glanced at the pleading City God before subconsciously looking at Yang Chan beside him, intending to leave the decision to her.
Although he was a celestial inspector responsible for patrolling the Three Realms, he was also obligated to report to the Jade Emperor.
However, his trip was not on official business, but rather to experience life in the mortal realm. If he had the City God as a burden by his side, it would only be a liability.
With this thought in mind, Chen Xuan cupped his hands to Yang Chan and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang Chan, this villain is a wanted criminal of the Heavenly Court. He has committed evil deeds in Mount Hua, which is under your jurisdiction. Please take him back to the Heavenly Court to report back to the Jade Emperor."
Unexpectedly.
Upon hearing the words "Jade Emperor," Yang Chan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Her mother, Yao Ji, was the Jade Emperor's own sister. However, because she longed to descend to the mortal realm, she was punished by the Jade Emperor and imprisoned under Peach Mountain, where she suffered a thousand years of loneliness.
In the end, he even lost his life because of it.
Although the Buddhist sect was secretly pushing things along, the Jade Emperor's cold-heartedness was a knot in Yang Chan's heart that was difficult to untie.
After careful consideration, Yang Chan gently shook her head and said in a cold voice, "My Yang family... has never had any dealings with the Heavenly Court. As a deity of Mount Hua, most of the time we only submit a petition to Heaven. This job is probably too difficult for us. Perhaps it would be better to trouble you, fellow Daoist..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan thought to himself, "Just as I expected."
He was naturally aware of the feud between Yang Chan and the Jade Emperor, and immediately looked troubled: "This...this..."
Seeing his furrowed brows and embarrassed expression, Yang Chan smiled and said, "Could it be that I've made things difficult for you, fellow Daoist?"
Chen Xuan waved his hand, and as he pondered, a plan suddenly came to mind.
A glint flashed in his eyes as he slowly walked toward the trembling City God.
When the City God saw Chen Xuan approaching, he thought Chen Xuan was going to spare his life and hurriedly kowtowed, saying, "Immortal, have mercy! Immortal, have mercy!"
however……
[Crackling sound—]
Chen Xuan remained silent, and faint lightning crackled in his palm.
The lightning was initially weak, but in an instant it transformed into a purple bolt the size of a bowl, crackling loudly.
The city god was so frightened that he looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with horror!
The next second, before the City God could react, Chen Xuan directly struck out with a 'Palm Thunder'.
Before the city god could even let out a scream, he was instantly reduced to ashes, leaving only an empty shackle.
The remnant soul of the City God drifted aimlessly, utterly bewildered...
Those clear eyes seemed to be saying:
Holy crap, so I was just a part of your game?
You two were dating, showing off your love, all sweet and affectionate, so why did you suddenly want to take my life?
Fine, fine, so today I'm going to die, huh?
I'm speechless!
"Done!"
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he reached out his hand, his five fingers like hooks, and with a suction force, he drew the soul into his palm and put it into a jade bottle.
He patted the embers of thunder and fire in his palm and said casually, "This way, it will be much easier to carry. I'll report back to the Jade Emperor when I return to Heaven."
"..."
"..."
"..."
quiet!
The entire room suddenly fell into a deathly silence!
Yang Chan, the Fox King, and all the demon soldiers present stared at Chen Xuan in disbelief.
hiss--
6!
Once he came to his senses, the Fox King clapped his hands in delight, his voice echoing across the land: "Brilliant! Brilliant! Little Master Xuantian truly has a wonderful idea; this plan is brilliant!!"
Yang Chan stood to the side, observing Chen Xuan's decisive and efficient actions, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. She nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist's move is indeed brilliant!"
This matter is now concluded.
Afterwards, the Fox King of Ten Thousand Years sincerely invited Chen Xuan and Yang Chan to visit Wansui City and treated them to a simple meal.
Chen Xuan and Yang Chan exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.
Although the Fox King cooperated with them to bring the evil City God to justice, he had his own selfish motives.
But it saved them a lot of trouble, so it was a favor in itself.
The Fox King himself led the way, with Chen Xuan and his companion following closely behind. Surrounded by a group of demon soldiers, they entered Wansui City as guests.
Within this Wansui City, the houses were neatly arranged, and the streets were bustling. Although it was inhabited by demons, it was still well-organized.
On both sides of the street, there were peddlers, taverns and teahouses, and the passersby were all monsters with animal heads and human bodies. When they saw the Fox King, they all bowed and paid their respects, not daring to make a sound.
Upon arriving at the main hall of the palace, they found that some demons had already prepared a feast.
The hall was adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, resplendent in gold and green. On the tables and chairs, delicacies from land and sea, rare fruits and fine wines were laid out.
The dishes didn't include dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but they were still panda paws and orangutan lips, and also included fine wines like the Dew of a Hundred Flowers and the Elixir of Ten Thousand Years. It was an extremely lavish feast, showing great emphasis on hospitality.
……
The three took their seats, and the Fox King, Wan Sui, frequently raised his cup to urge them to drink, while Chen Xuan and Yang Chan also raised their cups in accompaniment.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
Chen Xuan was already slightly drunk. He put down his wine cup and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Fox King, where is your daughter, Yu Mian? Is she still holding a grudge about what happened last time?"
Upon hearing this, the Fox King's smile faded slightly, and he looked apologetic, but he did not reply.
He winked at the little demon behind him, who understood and went inside. A short while later, the little demon came out carrying a brocade box.
Immediately afterwards, the Fox King personally took the brocade box, placed it on the table, and slowly opened it.
Inside the brocade box lay a piece of withered wood. The wood was a fiery red, almost crimson color. Although it had lost all life, it was still extremely bright and vivid, with a faint shimmering light. It exuded a refreshing aura of innate wood, which invigorated anyone who smelled it.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he exclaimed in shock, "This...this is...!!!"
