Chapter 105 Revealing the Secret
Xuan Wu glanced at Tang Xin, his dark eyes filled with a strange smile, and slowly said, "Little girl, your provocation is a bit too blatant. You don't think you can turn me into a gun with just a few words, do you?"

Tang Xin blushed slightly when she realized her little scheme had been exposed.

She had originally planned to have the Great Black Stone take action, as it was one of the Four Heavenly Spirits of the First Generation and should have no problem dealing with these people. However, judging from its appearance, it seemed to have no intention of taking action.

Just as Tang Xin was about to say something more, Xuan Wu changed the subject, looking at the old man behind them with a half-smile: "You are Hu Chun, aren't you?"

All eyes turned to Xuan Wu, especially to Little Gourd, whose gaze was filled with suspicion.

They had no intelligence whatsoever about this unusual creature, nor had it ever appeared in the inn before.

Tang Xin went to the Mountain and Sea, not only did she extract the Phoenix Blood, but she also brought back a special creature.
At this moment, the old man behind the little gourd opened his slightly red eyes and looked at Xuan Wu. His wrinkled old face showed no emotion, and his tone was slow and profound: "Indeed, I am Hu Chun of the Spirit Fox Clan. I have yet to ask your name."

"That old fox..."

Tang Xin noticed that the old man's eyes were blood red, and his brows suddenly furrowed. This red-eyed state was very similar to that of the second-generation mountain guardian and Qin Ying. Could it be that the old fox had also been controlled by Chi You?

According to the information Tang Xin already knew, Chi You not only possessed control abilities but also the ability to possess other people's bodies. However, she did not know which of these two types of foxes existed.

Xuanwu stared at Hu Chun, scrutinized him closely, and then sneered, "Squat down and let me ride you for a while."

As Xuan Wu finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Fox Spring is a high-ranking member of their lineage, a being born since ancient times, with great prestige and a very high status among special beings.

The panda clad in armor actually made Hu Chun squat down and let it ride it?

Hu Chun remained expressionless and smiled faintly, saying, "You are serious."

Xuan Wu nodded: "Then it must be serious."

Black Bear sensed the growing tension and his heart nearly leaped out of his throat. He didn't want the two sides to actually fight, as he wouldn't know who to side with then.

The little gourd coldly retorted, "Are you a wicked spirit that escaped from the mountains and seas? Do you know the identity of Elder Fox Spring? You want him to be your mount?"

Xuanwu gave a soft shout, and a powerful aura swept over like a whirlwind, knocking the small gourd that had taken several steps forward back to the side.

The little gourd looked horrified and somewhat incredulous. It had only uttered a casual remark, yet it carried an ancient aura. Not only could it not get close, but it was also forced to retreat step by step, unable to even withstand this aura.

He never doubted his own strength. Although he could not compare with the Four Heavenly Spirits, there were few special beings below the Four Heavenly Spirits who could pose a threat to him.

The little gourd's momentum weakened a bit: "It seems you were also born in ancient times, but you shouldn't have opposed us."

Xuan Wu scoffed: "You're just a junior. You have no right to speak here. That old thing has been riding me for who knows how long. If I let him ride me today, it won't even be interest."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Little Gourd, seemed to be deep in thought.

Black Bear secretly wondered if this special creature following Tang Xin might have a personal grudge against the elder.

He had seen many non-genuine iron-eating beasts, most of which lived in zoos, but this was the first time he had encountered a genuine iron-eating beast like this.

"Did the boss bring out some ancient, iron-eating beast that was sealed away in the mountains and seas? What a fool..."

Black Bear looked at Tang Xin, hesitant to speak, his face full of helplessness.

Others might not understand what it meant, but Tang Xin knew it perfectly well.

Xuanwu was once controlled by Chiyou and forced to become Chiyou's mount. Now that it says this, isn't that old fox Chiyou himself? "Possessed by Chiyou?"

Tang Xin stared intently at the old man, her expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Fox Spring's expression was strange: "What exactly do you mean? I don't remember having any personal grudges with you, so how could I have mentioned riding you?"

Xuan Wu sneered, his aura extremely fierce, exuding a terrifying ancient pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on everyone, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"Chi You, you disguised yourself very well, but you can only fool others. You have ridden me for countless years, and I can even sense the scent of your soul. When I became one of the first Four Heavenly Spirits, I hadn't even had two days to show off before you controlled me with your evil magic. I can tolerate everything else, but you shouldn't have used me as a mount, causing me to lose face and be ridiculed by the other three spirits! I have endured until now, and finally escaped. If I cannot ride you, I will not die in peace!"

Tang Xin: "..."

Something about its method of revenge feels a bit off.

He doesn't care about anything else, he only cares about being ridden?

This is a panda who values ​​its reputation more than its life...

Luckily, I didn't force myself to ride on its back earlier.

"The Four Spirits of the First Generation of Heaven?"

The White-Eyed Wolf Clan remembered reading ancient records that one of the Four Spirits of the First Generation was indeed an Iron-Eating Beast, which later joined Chi You's camp and became Chi You's mount, named Xuanwu.

The ingrate asked incredulously, "You're Xuanwu?"

Xuanwu raised its head high: "You ungrateful wretch do have some knowledge. I never thought that after so many years, there would still be a junior of the White-Eyed Wolf Clan who remembers me."

Tang Xin: "..." He was just faking it.

The white-eyed wolf exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Xuanwu is the benefactor of my White-Eyed Wolf Clan! Our clan was once hunted down by that Stone Spirit. If it weren't for Senior Xuanwu's intervention, our White-Eyed Wolf Clan would have been wiped out long ago!"

Xuan Wu was taken aback, then pondered for a long time before speaking: "Oh... that matter, it's nothing. I just can't stand that Shi Ling taking advantage of his size to slaughter living beings. His small favor is not worth mentioning."

Tang Xin's lips twitched slightly. Wasn't it the one who, back then, was greedy and broke into someone else's territory to steal the Stone Spirit Bamboo Leaves, only to be discovered and then fight it out?
Judging from its appearance just now, Xuanwu probably doesn't even know that it happened to save the ancestor of the White-Eyed Wolf Clan...

Tang Xin quickly tugged at Xuanwu's short tail: "Stop pulling! They've all run away!"

Xuanwu looked closely and saw that the old man had indeed retreated to a distance.

"Chi You, your remnant soul is probably less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak. Now that you are just a remnant soul, if you don't obediently let me ride you, I'm afraid you won't be able to go anywhere!"

"You're saying Elder Hu Chun is Chi You?"

The little gourd trembled in disbelief.

Xuanwu said, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have taken over Huchun's body hundreds of years ago. But your branch is truly consistent. You served Chiyou as his dog in ancient times and you still do now."

"Elder Hu Chun, what exactly happened?"

The dog-woman turned to look at the expressionless old man.

Fox Spring smiled indifferently: "Ji Xuanyuan did indeed leave behind many contingency plans. Not only did he find a descendant who could inherit the power of time to be the guardian of the mountain, but he also sealed you, one of the first Four Heavenly Spirits, under the flying stone. He probably foresaw this day long ago, but..."

After the old man finished speaking, his figure became very blurry, like the moon reflected in water. He appeared behind Tang Xin without her noticing, his tone full of seduction: "If you hand over the Phoenix Blood, I can tell you a secret."
