Chapter 111 Terrifying News

At the execution ground, the officials lined up to be beheaded.

One head after another fell to the ground, but their souls, barely leaving their bodies, were drawn into Su Baichen's Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

This banner is looking increasingly sinister now.

His soul belonged to him, while other things belonged to the little fox.

Incredibly, the black fox was greedily devouring what was produced when death occurred—the death aura!

"How come there's a ghost fox? It seems the recent turmoil in the court has affected the stability of humanity, allowing such a demon to enter the capital."

Beside Su Baichen, Yu Xiangke said calmly, raising his finger to cast a spell—

Su Baichen quickly asked, "Senior, what are your plans for dealing with it?"

Yu Xiangke was slightly surprised: "The Ghost Fox is of the bloodline of the ancient Nether Fox, capable of communicating between the Yin and Yang realms, using death energy..."

The Moonflower feeds on the creature, making it a kind of mythical beast with ancient bloodlines.

"But its appearance often means large-scale death and has always been regarded as a symbol of disaster."

He didn't say what he was going to do to the fox spirit, but that often means he's said everything.

Su Baichen said, "I think it's quite interesting."

Yu Xiangke asked in surprise, "You want to keep it as a spirit beast?"

It's not that you can't keep a ghost fox; quite the opposite, it's a creature that, once it's made up its mind, will never betray you. It's just that it feeds on death energy, which is somewhat abstract for most people.

This time, Su Baichen didn't hesitate much and nodded.

Yu Xiangke chuckled: "Alright, but this little thing is very sensitive and timid; most people can't get close to it."

Su Baichen dispelled his illusion.

Ever since he encountered this little fox and was able to smell his scent, he has become more attentive to his illusionary concealment techniques.

It now appears that the ghost fox sensed the aura of death emanating from him.

This is an aura belonging to the realm of spiritual perception, which is a weakness of the Illusory Yin Eight Transformations.

Su Baichen's illusionary concealment could only roughly cover up the death aura that clung to his body.

And now that the illusion has been broken—

The dark, ghostly fox immediately jolted awake, raising its head and humming as it looked around. Then, it spotted Su Baichen in the distance.

It no longer cared about absorbing the death energy of the execution ground, and charged over with abandon.

I finally found you! You smell so good!

Su Baichen heard the little fox's joyful voice and chuckled as he picked it up, saying, "Since you like my scent so much, why don't you come with me from now on?"

He decided to get a pet to relieve his boredom, since he had been seeing his senior classmates together every day lately and he was starting to feel lonely.

The little fox was completely intoxicated by someone's alluring aura, and could only whine and whine incessantly.

Yu Xiangke asked in surprise, "You've seen it before?"

Su Baichen thought for a moment and said, "I guess it might have been following me all the way."

Yu Xiangke instantly realized, and said, "So that's how it is. The dense death aura you slaughtered along the way attracted this little thing that feeds on death aura."

"It appeared because of the death of the extraordinary person; perhaps it can be considered an 'auspicious omen.'"

For the first time, ghosts and foxes were given the title of "auspicious omens".

After watching the beheading, Su Baichen carried the little fox and headed towards the courtyard where his senior brother lived.

Knock on the door, and the door opens.

A pretty woman glanced at Su Baichen at the door, then said softly, "It's Baichen. This is your home too, why did you knock?"

Su Baichen said, "Propriety must not be disregarded."

If only Feng Linzi is here, then of course he can come and go as he pleases.

But since there is also a lotus here, he has to go through the trouble.

Feng Linzi said from inside the house, "Come in quickly."

Su Baichen carried the little fox inside.

Youlian looked at it curiously a couple more times, but didn't say anything.

Feng Linzi glanced at it and said, "This ghost fox looks familiar—ha, I saw it by the roadside when we came out of Mangdang Mountain. I didn't have time to pay much attention at the time, but I didn't expect to end up with my junior brother."

Su Baichen also sighed, "Perhaps it's fate."

It was just a small animal, and they quickly put the matter aside.

Feng Linzi asked seriously, "How many extraordinary individuals were purged from the court this time?"

Su Baichen replied, "A total of one hundred and forty-three officials, both high and low."

Upon hearing this, Feng Linzi's brow furrowed with displeasure: "These extraordinary people—are truly terrifying."

"To ordinary people, extraordinary people are like their own relatives and friends. They probably don't know or understand that these people they regard as relatives and friends might want to kill them at any time."

Just as they were talking, Youlian suddenly interjected, "Do you have people like that around you too?"

Su Baichen and Feng Linzi were both taken aback.

Su Baichen then nodded and said, "Yes, our Changchun Palace also has it, but because the mountain was closed for two hundred years, the intrusion is not too serious."

"I have a senior brother who is also one of the extraordinary individuals."

Feng Linzi said, "Wu Nianzi? That makes sense. I was wondering why he's always seemed a bit strange since he was little. It's like he's wearing a mask on his face, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable."

At this point, Youlian suddenly said, "What they are best at is putting on a fake and kind smile, but it is ultimately not real."

Su Baichen's heart skipped a beat: "Sister-in-law, did you have many people like this around you before?"

Youlian nodded, finally opening up.

"Many times throughout my life, I have suddenly turned around and seen the servants, fellow disciples, and even relatives behind me, their expressionless faces suddenly changing into gentle smiles."

"It's like a sophisticated mask that completely conceals some terrifying truth deep within them."

"Lin Lang, Bai Chen, you brothers grew up surrounded by genuine kindness, so you probably can't understand my feeling of being surrounded by false masks the moment I open my eyes."

This description is indeed somewhat abstract, but if we look at it from another angle—surrounding Youlian are nothing but hypocrites with "fake smiles"!

The sense of terror was instantly amplified.

Su Baichen said, "Sister-in-law, you've really had a tough time. So, are you being hunted down because you discovered their secret?"

Youlian nodded and said, "My father is the current Demon Lord, and I overheard his conversation with another person by chance—"

"I don't know who that person is; I only overheard them talking about how they planned to seize the country together!"

"And that person's tone and voice sounded very much like that of a righteous and highly accomplished person—"

Su Baichen and Feng Linzi were both stunned, because there was a lot of information in what Youlian said!

First of all, the Yuanmo Cave has basically been occupied by aliens, and even Youlian's father is an alien.

If it weren't for the fact that extraordinary beings cannot inherit their lineage through blood, Youlian would probably be an extraordinary being too.

Secondly, there are definitely extraordinary individuals who have climbed to high positions within the righteous path, which is terrifying.

Finally, the righteous path and the demonic path are preparing to unite and steal the country once again.

As for why I said "again"?

After all, the three kingdoms of Wu, Wei, and Yong were already in a state of being usurped.

To be honest, Su Baichen now feels like he could rush into the Three Kingdoms and wreak havoc.

After all, it's almost obvious without even thinking that the top leaders of these three kingdoms have probably all been replaced by other people!
