Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

"Senior! It's a little embarrassing... Could you... not transform?"

Su Qianxue said softly.

Ji Nanbei wanted to laugh, but he held it in.

"I warned you before not to get close to humans easily, but there's no other way now. You'll definitely need to use your human form; it'll make it easier to move around in this city and increase your cultivation efficiency."

Su Qianxue sobbed for a while, then fell silent.

I should have never gone to find those despicable humans.

Although that male human was very handsome, he was just as bad!

As expected, the senior was right; there aren't many good people among humanity!

Ji Nanbei had no idea what Su Qianxue was thinking.

After taking a deep breath, Ji Nanbei organized the information in his mind and then walked towards the door.

He had to go and meet Su Qianxue's relatives.

That day, the fox brought Su Qianxue here and addressed her as "Young Master"...

Ji Nanbei couldn't be at ease just because of this; he still needed to take the initiative to probe and gather more intelligence.

Push open the door.

The next moment, an old man suddenly appeared in front of Ji Nanbei.

"Young Master, what can I do for you? What do you need? This old servant will take care of it immediately."

His attitude was extremely respectful.

Ji Nanbei nodded.

It seems...not bad.

"Come in, I have something I want to ask you."

Ji Nanbei's voice was devoid of emotion. After speaking, he turned and walked into the house.

This surprised the old man.

What's wrong with our young master?

The old man remembered that when he first found this young master, the young master was still like a child.

No, it should be said that the young master is still a child.

But looking at it now...

It seems that the young master has changed completely, changed quite a bit.

Turning around and walking back into the room, Ji Nanbei didn't look at the old man behind him.

When this person appeared, Ji Nanbei did not sense any fluctuations in spiritual energy.

The realm cannot be detected at all.

This feeling is somewhat similar to that of the Seventh Elder of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect.

When that person is on the road, they will disappear.

Even though Ji Nanbei was using Xiao Jingxi's body and had only the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't detect the other party's location.

Therefore, Ji Nanbei guessed that this old man was very likely a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The Nascent Soul stage is a very special realm.

There's a saying in the cultivation world: those below the Nascent Soul stage are nothing but ants.

This isn't absolute; there are geniuses who, even at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, can rival the combat power of a typical Deity Transformation cultivator.

But that's too little.

Of all the people Ji Nanbei has met, only Xiao Jingxi has a chance of reaching that level.

Therefore, the difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the previous stages is indeed like heaven and earth.

Ji Nanbei wasn't surprised that the old man was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Celestial Fox Clan was, after all, a former royal family of demons, so it's not surprising that they have some heritage.

Entering the room, Ji Nanbei casually sat down on a chair to the side.

The old man didn't hesitate much, followed Ji Nanbei into the house, and closed the door.

"Young Master..."

Before the old man could ask anything, Ji Nanbei spoke first:

"It may seem strange to ask now, but I don't know your name yet, senior."

Su Qianxue didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have kept calling him "old man".

The old man was taken aback, then suddenly bowed.

"You flatter me by addressing me as 'Senior,' young master. My given name is Ming, and although I am from a collateral branch of the family, I was granted the surname Su by the late emperor."

Ji Nanbei immediately understood.

It seems that Su Qianxue is indeed a descendant of the previous Demon Emperor.

The man before us is a minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor.

"Then I shall call you Lord Hades."

Su Ming was about to say no, but Ji Nanbei beat him to it.

"Please don't refuse such a trivial matter, Elder Ming. Now that our Celestial Fox Clan is in such a state, it's pointless to dwell on a title or status."

The words that were about to come out of Ming Lao's mouth were swallowed back down.

At this moment, Elder Ming had his head down.

However, even without looking, Elder Ming could sense that this young master was completely different from the previous two days!

Not to mention that she's lost all her childishness.

On the contrary, it gives people a sense of decisiveness, without being bothered by trivial matters.

That kind of demeanor, that kind of way of speaking.

Ming Lao actually felt as if he were facing the White Emperor.

Sensing this, Elder Ming felt only joy.

The Celestial Fox Clan is currently lacking a leader capable of achieving great things.

The Celestial Fox clan has already hit rock bottom. If it cannot rebuild itself from the ashes, the future of the Celestial Fox clan will only be one of increasing weakness and eventual extinction.

"Yes! Thank you, young master."

The Old Man of the Underworld responded.

Ji Nanbei, however, paid no attention to what Elder Ming was thinking, and instead said in a deep voice:

"Elder Ming, please sit down. I have some questions for you. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I still know very little about my Celestial Fox clan."

The Old Man of the Underworld looked up.

sit down

There were only two seats in the room at that moment, placed side by side on one side of the table, separated by the table.

This…

Despite his strict adherence to hierarchy, the old man of the underworld instinctively wanted to decline.

However, upon seeing Ji Nanbei's gaze, Elder Ming no longer refused and instead sat down to the side.

That look in his eyes carried an undeniable air of authority.

Ji Nanbei himself was unaware that, by adopting Su Qianxue's identity and unleashing his full aura, he had actually managed to subdue a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, the main reason is that the concept of hierarchy among the underworld officials is too strong.

There is an innate respect for this young master.

"Young master, if there is anything you wish to ask, please feel free to ask this old servant. This old servant has already answered all your questions to the best of my ability."

Ji Nanbei nodded.

"How many members of my Celestial Fox clan still remain...?"

Ji Nanbei began to inquire in detail about the current situation of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

And the Old Man of the Underworld did not hide anything and told everything.

The Celestial Fox clan is now pitifully small.

Of the entire clan, only Su Qianxue remains as the direct descendant.

All the collateral branches combined barely exceed one hundred.

These were mostly members of the Heavenly Fox Clan who were not located in the Heavenly Demon Capital at the time of the Heavenly Demon Capital Incident.

That's how he managed to escape by sheer luck.

Within the clan, only Elder Ming remains as a Nascent Soul cultivator.

There are only a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, the rest are mostly at the Golden Core stage.

The Celestial Fox clan possesses extraordinary talent, and around the Golden Core stage, they master the secret technique of transformation.

Therefore, those who travel outside are basically members of the Heavenly Fox Clan at the Golden Core stage.

After learning about it, Ji Nanbei was astonished.

The demon royal family's current strength is no match for one of the Nine Gates.

After listening, Ji Nanbei remained silent for a long time.

In the silence, Elder Ming tried several times to speak and comfort the young master.

He also knew that the strength of the Heavenly Fox Clan was now rather unacceptable.

However, she ultimately didn't say it.

Elder Ming felt that this young master was not someone who would be discouraged by the strength of the clan.

Soon, Ji Nanbei raised his head.

"So, what is the goal of the Heavenly Fox Clan now?"

Old Man Ming was taken aback.

Is that even a question?

"Of course, it's to reclaim the Heavenly Demon Capital, regain the Demon Emperor's throne, and rule the demon race!"

Ji Nanbei shook his head.
