Chapter 398 Seeing Old Friends Again
Upon entering the world of the divine soul, Lin Zhaofu immediately sensed a familiar aura.

She actually broke through to the Nascent Soul stage?

Lin Zhao was somewhat surprised, but only slightly.

She saw that the fox spirit who had previously made a promise with her to fight her a year later was being stopped by a young man dressed in purple robes.

Lin Zhao altered his appearance to resemble Zhao Ling'er and walked up to her. Before he even got close, he heard the purple-robed youth laughing and saying to Hu Sheng.

“Miss Fox Sheng, I know you are a top expert in the Nascent Soul region of the Divine Soul World, but now that you have advanced to the Divine Transformation realm and arrived in this region, you should know that the Divine Transformation realm is not a place where so-called Nascent Soul stage prodigies like you can show off your abilities. Your Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline is not pure, so don’t use the name of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox to intimidate me.”

As the young man spoke, his gaze lingered wantonly on Hu Sheng's slender and shapely figure: "After all, which Nascent Soul stage prodigy wouldn't show respect to their seniors when they reach the Divine Transformation stage? Hu Sheng, your Heavenly Fox Clan knows the rules best, and you wouldn't break them, would you?"

Once cultivators reach the Nascent Soul stage, the law enforcers in the upper realm's activity areas become less willing to take action. After all, the Nascent Soul stage among upper realm cultivators is a veritable den of hidden talents, especially those listed in the top 100 of the Prodigy Ranking, each with an impressive background.

Of course, the law enforcement officers weren't afraid. They figured it was better to avoid trouble; these prodigies would check and balance each other internally. So, they turned a blind eye to everything. As long as these people didn't actively request their intervention, the officers would assume it was a mutually agreeable arrangement.
However, those who can stand out from the Nascent Soul stage genius list and advance all the way to the Divine Transformation stage are all a bit arrogant. How could they possibly call out the enforcers on their own initiative?
This has led to situations in the Nascent Soul stage region where older Nascent Soul stage cultivators bully newcomers who have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage from the Prodigy Ranking.

These veteran Nascent Soul cultivators, who have been constantly crushed by the prodigies on the Nascent Soul stage ranking list, are somewhat magnanimous and take the advancement of their juniors lightly. However, the majority of Nascent Soul stage cultivators are not like that.

After all, seeing a former prodigy trampled underfoot by someone as ordinary as a Nascent Soul cultivator gives one a real sense of turning the tables and becoming the master.

Hu Sheng was also unlucky.

These people wouldn't dare to bully those experts with powerful backgrounds who rank in the top ten of the Nascent Soul stage. People like her, who have a ranking but not a very high one, and whose family background is decent but not enough to intimidate these scoundrels, have become their best targets for bullying.

Hu Sheng was born a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and her mother was also a young lady from a collateral branch of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan. To put it grandly, she had access to the Ancient Dragon Clan and the Celestial Phoenix Clan of the Upper Realm. But to put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that there are so few orthodox bloodlines in the Celestial Fox clan now, Hu Sheng's background wouldn't be enough for the Celestial Fox clan to count her in. After all, Hu Sheng's father was just an ordinary Upper Realm spirit fox who cultivated to become an immortal.

Therefore, Hu Sheng was so angry at the man's flattery that her face turned pale, but due to her own lack of strength and the fact that none of her companions had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she could only swallow her anger.

She knew she shouldn't have entered the Nascent Soul stage cultivation area alone this time; she should have gone with her clan members. That way, how could this scoundrel dare to approach her?

Thinking this, Hu Sheng gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Guangyuan, if you don't get out of here, be careful the Heavenly Fox Clan will come after your Lu family!"

The purple-robed youth laughed heartily, finding Hu Sheng's angry expression extremely vivid. He clapped his hands with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful! The Heavenly Fox Clan would cause trouble for our Lu family because of you? Everyone knows that the women of your fox clan are naturally promiscuous and amorous. If your fox clan members come to our door, be careful and I'll say that you seduced me. Do you think the fox clan will protect you then?"

Lin Zhao, listening from the side, couldn't stop her lips from twitching.

This man may be despicable, but he's not stupid. He knows to separate the Heavenly Fox Clan and the Fox Clan so that no one can find fault with him for insulting the Heavenly Fox Clan.

It's important to know that the Fox Clan and the Celestial Fox Clan are two completely different concepts.

The Celestial Fox Clan is a bloodline that can rival the Celestial Phoenix and the Ancient Dragon, while the Fox Clan is just an ordinary beast race. Lu Guangyuan's immediate categorization of Hu Sheng as part of the Fox Clan is nothing more than bullying the weak and fearing being branded as an idiot for disgracing the Celestial Fox Clan.
However, judging from his tone, the fox clan seems to have a very bad reputation in the upper realm.

Otherwise, Hu Sheng wouldn't have been so angry that his chest heaved and he couldn't refute her.

Lu Guangyuan's gaze remained fixed on Hu Sheng's ample bosom as he said with a smile, "Be sensible. You're always following me around. What we do in the Divine Soul World won't affect your body in the Upper Realm, Miss Hu Sheng. If you're comfortable, I'll be comfortable too. If you don't comply, then I'll be the one who's comfortable."

He took a step closer to Hu Sheng, extending his spiritual power to pull her into his arms.

His hand did not land on Hu Sheng's rounded shoulder, but instead touched the hilt of a cold sword.

"You're a lousy person and you're talking nonsense. Having someone like you, a Nascent Soul cultivator, here is an eyesore for me. Go back to your original body and recuperate for a year or two. Learn to speak properly before you come out again."

Lu Guangyuan met a pair of cold eyes. The next moment, endless spiritual energy and sword intent burst forth from the hilt of the sword. Before Lu Guangyuan could cry for help, his soul was shattered and he was forced back to his physical body.

His soul and body were shattered in one blow; it won't be able to recover for at least a year or two.

When Hu Sheng saw that she had been rescued, she was about to express her gratitude when she saw the person's face. The scene in her memory resurfaced, and her expression was extremely interesting.

She hadn't forgotten that she had also provoked the other party and made a promise to fight.

Now that the opponent can send Lu Guangyuan, who completely suppressed him, away with a single move, it would probably be as easy as playing around for him to beat him.

"Zhao, Zhao Ling'er?" Hu Sheng took two steps back, then realized the gap between himself and the other party. If the other party really wanted to settle old scores, he would not be able to escape. With a bitter smile, he gave the other party a greeting as an equal.

Lin Zhao returned the greeting: "Miss Hu Sheng, you don't need to be so polite. I only made a move because I didn't like him. As for our previous duel, let's just consider it as our youthful impetuosity back then."

Upon hearing this, Hu Sheng didn't even realize he had breathed a sigh of relief. He sized up Lin Zhao for a while and said, "I think I understand why Qu Shu didn't fancy the celestial beauty of the upper realm, but took a fancy to you."

Hearing this assessment of him, Lin Zhao didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh and say, "Although I'll pass on the challenge, could Miss Hu Sheng do me a favor?"

Hu Sheng's expression shifted for a moment, realizing that he hadn't been saved for nothing; the other party still wanted him to give something in return.

She remained silent for a long time, even considering the conditions for offering herself, before finally saying with a resolute expression, "Tell me, as long as I can do it."

Lin Zhao found this person really strange. She was just asking for directions, why did he have such a tragic expression?

"Miss Fox Sheng, do you know how to get to the area where Nascent Soul stage cultivators are active in the lower realm? I was brought here and don't know which way to go."

Fox Sheng: "..."
