Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 205 The Peril of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox
The behavior of attracting so many people is indeed very strange.

Although Wan Renwang is ruthless, his position within the Demonic Sect is unshakeable, so there is no need to worry about being betrayed after returning.

All of this naturally stemmed from the pressure brought by Zhang Xiaofan and the Qingyun Sect. None of the powerful members of the Demonic Sect were stupid; they all knew that without Wanrenwang, no one in the Demonic Sect could stop Zhang Xiaofan.

Even if Wanrenwang were to be resurrected, he would be in a weakened state. The powerful members of the Demonic Sect would certainly do their utmost to protect him and help him quickly recover his strength.

After all, the Demonic Sect is already weak, and Wan Renwang was almost killed. Zhang Xiaofan has also subdued Huang Niao and Hei Shui Xuan She. If Wan Renwang's strength does not recover quickly, Zhang Xiaofan and Huang Niao will be able to sweep through the entire Demonic Sect.

Zhang Xiaofan knew this, Lu Xueqi knew this, and Jin Ping'er naturally knew this as well. This was the reason why Jin Ping'er was in such a hurry to return.

“That’s right, that’s why I came here immediately to inform you, Master. I suspect that Wanrenwang may have other motives!”

After Jin Ping'er finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed. Zhang Xiaofan's pupils also shrank suddenly, and he said almost at the same time as Jin Ping'er.

Incense Valley!

Incense Valley harbored ill intentions from the start, and Yun Yilan had previously colluded with Wanrenwang in secret.

Therefore, at this time, it is highly likely that Wanren, who was seriously injured, left alone to find help.

Lu Xueqi's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately understood what was going on. She couldn't help but say softly.

"Perhaps Wanrenwang is also worried that with his defeat, many people in the Demonic Sect will choose to join Qingyun, and he will be the best pledge of allegiance!"

As Lu Xueqi spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xiaofan again, her eyes slightly tinged with sourness.

As her husband, Lu Xueqi knew all too well how high Zhang Xiaofan's prestige was within the Demonic Sect. It could be said that the people in the Demonic Sect trusted Zhang Xiaofan far more than his fellow disciples, not to mention people from other sects within the Demonic Sect.

At this time, if Wanrenwang were to return to the Demonic Sect, the news that he was still alive would likely be spread to the Qingyun Sect by some of the sect members who had long wanted to abandon the darkness and embrace the light.

At that time, it would be extremely dangerous for Wanrenwang. Once Zhang Xiaofan arrived, no one would be able to protect his life.

No, it's not that there's no one there.

There's one more person who could—Biyao!
If Biyao were to plead for him, Zhang Xiaofan would naturally spare Wanren Wang's life, only taking him back to Qingyun and detaining him for life. Qingyun Sect is currently very prosperous, and with Zhang Xiaofan's prestige, no one would say anything if he were to keep another mouth to feed.

However, Biyao had long since gone into seclusion at Qingyun Sect. Wanrenwang had secretly sent people to deliver messages several times, wanting Biyao to return to Fox Hill, but Biyao had not responded.

For the past ten years, Biyao has only returned to Fox Hill with Youji and Lu Zhihua to pay respects on the anniversary of her mother's death each year, but she has never seen Wanrenwang.

Of course, even if Biyao were willing to plead for him, Wanrenwang would not accept it. For Wanrenwang, who was always proud and extremely ambitious, such an outcome would be worse than death.

Lu Xueqi, who knew about Biyao's past, had a very close relationship with Biyao. These were Biyao's private and painful matters, which Zhang Xiaofan never inquired about, but Lu Xueqi was very clear about them.

That's why Lu Xueqi instantly understood all this. For Wanrenwang, going to Fenxiang Valley must have been for the purpose of survival.

“No, it’s not just that!” Zhang Xiaofan’s eyes flashed, and other guesses arose in his mind. He spoke softly.

"Three hundred years ago, the fox clan of Fox Ridge Mountain, led by a nine-tailed celestial fox, attacked Incense Valley and stole the Mysterious Fire Mirror. In the end, the nine-tailed celestial fox was suppressed in Incense Valley."

Lu Xueqi's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but show a hint of worry.

"You mean, Wanrenwang wants to use the power of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox to quickly restore his own strength?"

The names Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua are a misunderstanding. They are not because of Lu Xueqi, but because Lu Wuyai is a six-tailed demon fox, so he took Lu as his surname.

Biyao and Youji did not hold a grudge after learning about it, but Lu Xueqi, because of her surname Lu, was still quite close to Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua, and knew that the nine-tailed celestial fox was Lu Wuyai's mother.

"Therefore, I must head to the Southern Frontier immediately. As for Qingyun, I'll trouble you, Senior Sister, to go back and inform Master, Mistress, Sect Leader, and Uncle Shuiyue."

Zhang Xiaofan said in a deep voice that the matter was urgent and he could not go back to report, so he could only ask Lu Xueqi to convey the message. Lu Xueqi nodded slightly and agreed.

Of the four women, Biyao and Youji, having come from the Demonic Sect in the past, now live a completely secluded life in the Qingyun Sect, detached from worldly affairs.

Tian Ling'er is innocent and carefree. Even after getting married, she still retains some girlishness. Otherwise, she wouldn't often drag Bi Yao back to Dazhu Peak to play. Su Ru also pities Bi Yao's background and treats her as half a daughter. Although she and You Ji are nominally the master's wife and disciple's wife, they are more like sisters when they get along.

Lu Xueqi is the only one among the four women who knows how to manage things. Even though Youji is the eldest and handles more household affairs, Lu Xueqi is the true backbone of the family.

Even within the Qingyun Sect, many regarded Lu Xueqi as the head of Xiaozhu Peak and half the wife of the deputy sect leader.

"By the way, you should take the Black Serpent back with you too. Anyway, the bamboo forests on Big Bamboo Peak and Little Bamboo Peak are big enough, and the Black Serpent likes shady places."

Zhang Xiaofan seemed to remember something, turned to look at the Black Water Serpent, and said softly.

The Blackwater Serpent is too large. Bringing it back to Qingyun will allow it to guard the mountain gate and prevent thousands of people from secretly searching for its tracks and attacking it.

Moreover, Dazhu Peak is sparsely populated, which is enough for the Blackwater Serpent to cause trouble. In addition, this way, Master will definitely be happy for a while. He will probably fly down from Dragon Head Peak to Dragon Abyss that very day to gloat over the dead Cangsong Daoist.

Upon hearing this, the Blackwater Serpent stared intently at Zhang Xiaofan, then glanced at the Yellow Bird, worried that it wouldn't get any of the spiritual herbs. However, remembering that Zhang Xiaofan had kept his word and let it go, it obediently swam to Lu Xueqi's side.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan didn't linger any longer. He immediately leaped up and landed on the back of the yellow bird with Xiao Hui on his back. The yellow bird had recovered by now. Although its strength had not fully recovered, its flight was no longer affected.

At that moment, Jin Ping'er suddenly spoke to Zhang Xiaofan, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

“Master, I will go with you.”

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but then he understood that Jin Ping'er was probably worried about her junior sister. Although Zhang Xiaofan could roughly guess that Yan Hong's fate was probably not good, he still nodded.
