Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

She's a stunning beauty!

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and nodded calmly: "I remember what you promised me."

"I understand, and I will not forget what I promised you, Master. But I have a request, and I hope you will grant it?"

The nine-tailed celestial fox remained kneeling, her alluring eyes sparkling, her voice melodious, her expression sincere yet pitiful.

"explain."

"I have been trapped in the Xuanhuo Altar for three hundred years and have not seen my clansmen for a long time. May I find my clansmen and see them?"

The nine-tailed celestial fox especially longed to see her son, the six-tailed white fox.

Years ago, she stole the Mysterious Fire Mirror, angering the Incense Valley, and was thus suppressed in the Mysterious Fire Altar.

The six-tailed white fox was left all alone, and the nine-tailed celestial fox longed to know how her son was doing.

Xu Qing pondered. He also knew that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had a son, the Six-Tailed Celestial Fox, and it seemed that the Xuanhuo Mirror was in the hands of the Six-Tailed Celestial Fox.

It seems the nine-tailed celestial fox wants to see her son.

"Okay." Xu Qing thought for a moment and agreed.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was overjoyed, never expecting Xu Qing to agree so readily.

"Please, Master, place a restriction on me. When the time comes, I will return."

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was also grateful. It would have been outrageous for her to leave without any means of restraint.

Even if the other party doesn't mention it, it's better to bring it up yourself.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "As expected of the leader of the fox clan, you are indeed very clever."

If the nine-tailed celestial fox were to leave like this, he would naturally resort to swift and decisive measures.

He placed a restriction on the nine-tailed celestial fox, gently patted its shoulder, and said:

"I will give you one month to meet. When the time is up, you shall return to Qingyun Sect with me."

"Thank you, Masato!"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was overjoyed. Being given a month was a pleasant surprise for her.

Xu Qing waved his hand, and the latter used magic to escape into the air.

“My lord, although you have set up a restriction, if she returns and retrieves the Mystic Fire Mirror, she can use its power to remove the restriction you left behind…”

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox leave, Yun Yilan couldn't help but remind her.

"Hehe, she wouldn't dare," Xu Qing chuckled.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is a clever fox spirit. If it dares to be ungrateful, it will surely suffer his wrath.

Even Yun Yilan was suppressed by Xu Qing, who knew that Xu Qing was incredibly powerful.

Moreover, Xu Qing is not just an individual, but also the leader of the righteous sect, the Qingyun Sect.

If it were truly a matter of targeting a particular group, most of the righteous sects in the world would have to give him face.

Moreover, Xu Qing was well-versed in the characters in the original work, and this nine-tailed celestial fox was by no means a heartless and ungrateful demon.

In the original novel, it was Zhang Xiaofan who rescued her, and later the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox also saved Zhang Xiaofan from danger on several occasions.

It is clear that this nine-tailed celestial fox is a demon with feelings and loyalty.

Seeing this, Yun Yilan said no more.

"Activate the Mystic Fire Altar, open the Eight Desolate Mystic Fire Array, and summon the Crimson Flame Beast!"

Xu Qing then gave new instructions.

Yun Yilan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "My lord, the Crimson Flame Beast is a ferocious beast of fire, and it should not be moved lightly. What do you intend to do?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," Xu Qing said coldly.

Without further ado, Yun Yilan personally activated the Xuanhuo Altar.

The eight fierce god-like pillars of this mysterious ancient altar were all trembling. Once the Eight Desolate Mystic Fire Array was activated, the volcanic spiritual energy gathered in the entire earth vein was absorbed by this great array.

Rumble, rumble!

A fierce flame erupted from the Xuanhuo Altar, illuminating the sky and the Fenxiang Valley with its blazing heat.

The terrifying aura made everyone in the Incense Valley tremble.

Shangguan Ce was shocked: "This is a sign that the Eight Desolate Profound Fire Formation is being activated! Why is the Valley Master activating this great formation!?"

He hurriedly returned to the forbidden area, wondering if the Valley Master and Dao Xuan Zhenren had started fighting again, which was why they had used this great formation!
However, when he stepped into the forbidden area and saw Xu Qing standing with his hands behind his back, and Yun Yilan activating the formation, he froze on the spot.

No fight broke out?!

"Valley Master?! Why did you activate the Profound Fire Array?!"

Shangguan Ce asked loudly.

"Step back and calm the disciples in the valley!" Yun Yilan gave the order forcefully without explanation.

Shangguan Ce wanted to ask more questions, but Yun Yilan dismissed him with a single look.

His throat bobbed, and he could only swallow back the words he was about to say, saying only, "Yes!"

Shangguan Ce dared not disobey Yun Yilan's orders, for Yun Yilan's orders were absolute within the Incense Valley.

No one can disobey him; this is Yun Yilan's domineering nature.

An ancient array diagram rose from the Xuanhuo Altar, and as a large amount of volcanic spiritual energy was absorbed, the array was fully activated.

Yun Yilan also shouted, "Eight Desolate Profound Fire Formation activated! Crimson Flame Demon Beast—appear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, endless flames and malevolent energy began to condense and compress within the magma vortex at the center of the formation.

First, a giant claw made entirely of liquid flames suddenly shot out and gripped the void, scorching the space with a sizzling sound.

Immediately afterwards, a massive body rose from it—that was the Crimson Flame Beast.

It has no fixed flesh and blood body; its form is the fluid destruction itself.

Dark red lava forms its general skeleton and muscle texture, while blazing white flames surge and roar within its body.

The Crimson Flame Beast's eyes resembled two miniature suns that were constantly collapsing and exploding, radiating pure rage.

With each simple breath, sparks cascaded from its mouth and nose like a waterfall, turning rocks into wisps of smoke as they hit the ground.

"What a magnificent fiery beast!"

Xu Qing's eyes brightened slightly. This demonic beast's aura was no weaker than that of the Blackwater Serpent, and its extremely powerful and yang energy even surpassed that of the Blackwater Serpent.

The flames flowing around his body were of incomparably pure quality, completely opposite to the extreme yin and cold power of the Black Water Serpent.

"Yun Yilan, control it and make it stop resisting!"

Xu Qingfei stepped forward.

"Yes, my lord!" Yun Yilan tried his best to control the magic array, using its power to restrain the Crimson Flame Beast and minimize its power.

Although he didn't understand what Xu Qing wanted to do, he still did as he was told.

Xu Qing landed on the head of the Crimson Flame Beast. The terrifying flames almost scorched through the void. Being so close, Xu Qing could feel a surge of heat.

However, he possessed the chilling power of the Xuan Snake, coupled with the power of his Taoist robe and magical artifact, which was more than enough to isolate him from the intense heat.

The Crimson Flame Beast noticed Xu Qing standing on its head, and a hint of anger appeared in its eyes.

It is a ferocious beast of fire, controlling all the fires in the world, like a fire king.

This human dared to step on its head; that's incredibly audacious.

Therefore, the Crimson Flame Beast's resistance intensified, and Yun Yilan hurriedly increased his control over the Eight Desolate Profound Fire Formation, shouting, "Beast, behave yourself!"

Xu Qing smiled and said calmly, "Don't be nervous, it'll be quick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing used the power of [Merit Fruit].

The aura of the [Gate of All Heavens] emanated, and its divine power enveloped the Crimson Flame Beast, swiftly seizing its strength.

"Roar!"

The Crimson Flame Beast roared, its flames surging like boiling water. Its power had been taken away, and it was furious.

However, it is suppressed by the Eight Desolate Profound Fire Formation, coupled with the domineering power of the [All Heavens Gate].

No matter how angry the Crimson Flame Beast was, it could not escape the fact that its power had been taken away.

Soon, the flames around it quickly died down, and the massive, mountain-like structure began to shrink.

"My lord... this is stealing the power of the Crimson Flame Beast!?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Yun Yilan's old eyes widened in disbelief. What kind of supernatural power was this?!

They were even able to seize the power of this fiery beast!
Unbelievable!
