The Love of Mingya in the Fox Spirit

Chapter 145 "A New Era"

The following day, atop Twin Peaks, before the tomb of Dongfang Yuechu, the first rays of morning sunlight fell upon Zhuge Ming's shoulder. (Biqushu.net)

After Tu Shan Ya Ya left, Zhuge Ming came here and sat there for an entire night.

"At the beginning of the month, I think I started to understand the pain you felt before when you couldn't have the love you wanted..."

Looking at Dongfang Yuechu's tombstone, Zhuge Ming smiled bitterly.

He didn't blame Tu Shan Ya Ya for making such a choice; on the contrary, he knew that she was suffering far more than he was.

Her most revered older sister suddenly "disappeared," as did her best friend. The entire burden of Tushan suddenly fell on her thin shoulders, which is why Tushan Yaya in the anime suddenly changed her personality.

Life is full of helplessness, and demons are no exception. On one hand, there is Tushan, which her sister entrusted to her protection, and on the other hand, there is her own silly son. She has to make a choice between them. Tushan Yaya's pain is no less than that of Zhuge Ming.

"Ugh……"

Zhuge Ming looked up at the sky, and a long-lost sense of bewilderment suddenly welled up in his heart again.

"At the beginning of the month, you said, should I, like that brat Fugui, leave Tushan for a while and go find my own path?"

A gentle breeze blew by, and all around was quiet.

Dongfang Yuechu naturally couldn't answer Zhuge Ming's question, and Zhuge Ming knew this, but he asked because he already had the answer in his heart.

People often choose to flip a coin to help them make a choice, not because it has two sides, but because you already know your choice the moment you flip it.

Zhuge Ming stood up leisurely and rubbed his calves, which were a little numb from the pressure for a long time.

He casually flicked out several galaxies, which disappeared into the tomb. Then he took out the Qiankun Fan, waved it at the tomb, and a blue eyeball suddenly floated in front of Zhuge Ming.

Of Dongfang Yuechu's two Void Tear eyeballs, one was used as a continuation artifact in their reincarnation, while the other, thanks to Zhuge Ming's intervention, was not taken by the old hag and remained in his corpse.

Zhuge Ming knew that the old witch dreamed of getting this thing every day, so Zhuge Ming could not leave it in Tushan.

The Void Tear is now a hot potato for Tushan. Zhuge Ming understands the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime" all too well.

He stored the Tears of the Void in his Qiankun Fan and glanced at the tombstone with displeasure.

"Ha, you're really lucky. You've caused me so much trouble, yet you can still lie here peacefully."

After opening his senses and confirming Tu Shan Rongrong's location, Zhuge Ming did not linger and disappeared from the spot in the next instant.

Before leaving, he needed to discuss some things with Rongrong.

-----------

At the headquarters of the Dao Alliance, in the council hall, the top leaders of the Dao Alliance gathered together, their faces solemn.

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, according to our informant, Zhuge Ming left Tushan not long ago."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the hall varied, some were puzzled, and some were secretly pleased.

They had already learned of Zhuge Ming's identity from Wang Quan Fugui after the duel.

He was the "human traitor" who was once known as one of the twin stars of the Dao Alliance alongside Dongfang Yuechu, and later defied the world to save the second leader of Tushan!

This explains why Zhuge Minghui and the second-in-command of Tushan were so intimate at that time.

However, for various reasons, the Dao Alliance leadership did not choose to reveal Zhuge Ming's identity. Instead, they forcibly suppressed the matter and forbade their subordinates from discussing anything related to Zhuge Ming.

"Alliance Leader, I think it's necessary to invite that person to the Dao Alliance. According to our intelligence, he is probably the person in the world who knows Black Fox the most, and he will definitely be of great help to our fight against Black Fox!"

“No! That person’s stance is uncertain right now. It’s hard to say whether he’s on the side of the Dao Alliance. Besides, he has a close relationship with the fox demons of Tushan. Bringing him to the Dao Alliance might cause some trouble.”

"What kind of time is this to still care about the conflict between humans and demons? We have a formidable enemy at hand, and that Black Fox is watching us from the shadows. Without uniting all our forces, how can we possibly defeat the two strongest beings in the world today?!"

……

Wang Quan Fugui sat in the main seat, holding the Wang Quan Sword, listening to the argument below with a blank expression.

After Dongfang Yuechu's death, the position of Dao Alliance Leader became vacant, and Wang Quan Fugui was reluctantly pushed into the position by the crowd.

After all, in terms of both strength and background, Wang Quan Fugui is undoubtedly the best candidate for the leader of the alliance.

In terms of strength, the title of "Sword of Heaven and Earth" is not just for show. The previous head of the Wangquan family was a man of great prowess, leading the Dao Alliance to force the major demon kingdoms to form a demon alliance in order to barely contend with them. As his only son, Wangquan Fugui's strength is naturally beyond question.

In terms of background, there is no doubt about it. Even when Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye, the former patriarch of the Wang Quan family, divided the Wang family into the Wang family and the Quan family, the Wang family's strength was still firmly among the top of all the major families.

Therefore, Wang Quanfugui obtained the position of leader of the alliance very easily.

Looking at the crowd below, their faces flushed with anger over whether or not to "invite" Zhuge Ming to the Dao Alliance, Wang Quan Fugui sighed slightly. He knew they wouldn't reach a conclusion.

Moreover, although he and Zhuge Ming were not close, he had heard many stories about him and the second leader of Tushan from Dongfang Yuechu over the years.

Wang Quan Fugui knew that although Zhuge Ming had suddenly left Tushan for some unknown reason, he would not return to the Dao Alliance, because from beginning to end, this person had never thought of joining any organization.

Whether it's Tushan or the Dao Alliance, he only gets involved because of people he cares about. Now that Dongfang Yuechu is gone, Zhuge Ming has no reason to stay in the Yi Qi Dao Alliance, so he won't be "invited" here.

"Alright, alright, let's forget about that person for now. Let's talk about how to deal with those monsters that have been attacking humans lately."

Recalling Dongfang Yuechu's carefree demeanor before leaving, Wang Quanfugui felt inexplicably angry. He irritably waved his hand, signaling them to stop arguing.

On the surface, the human and demon realms seem peaceful and harmonious, with humans and demons beginning to interact and understand each other. However, some vicious demons still disregard the orders of the Demon Alliance and attack humans in secret.

As a result, Wang Quanfugui hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

In just one month, he had already captured over a hundred powerful demons and brought them back to the Dao Alliance.

Although Wang Quan Fugui never kills monsters lightly, it doesn't mean he's merciful. For those heinous monsters, Wang Quan Fugui never shows any mercy and will kill them with swift and decisive means. As a result, monsters now run away whenever they see Wang Quan Fugui.

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, we can discuss with the Demon Alliance to establish relevant laws and set up a Demon Police force specifically responsible for this matter."

The speaker was Yang Xi, the head of the Yang family and son of the former deputy leader of the Dao Alliance. He possessed the superb Heavenly Eye, a skill inherited from his father, the Three-Senses Divine Lord Yang Yitan, and was no less capable than his father in terms of strategy.

Back then, when Dongfang Yuechu was vying for the position of leader, he was still young; otherwise, it would have been uncertain who would have won the position.

After hearing Yang Xi's words, the other family heads nodded in agreement, agreeing that this was the best approach at present.

"Then it's decided. We'll set off tomorrow. All the family heads, come with me to the Demon Alliance."

Wang Quanfugui slammed his fist on the table and decided that tomorrow he would lead all the Dao Alliance's strongest warriors to the Demon Alliance.

Negotiation requires an equal balance of power between the two sides, especially for monsters. Only when they feel the strength of humanity will they truly consider peaceful coexistence with humans.

If this journey yields any results, then a brand new era will officially begin, an era that belongs to both humans and demons!

Chapter 146 "The Masks' Choice"

The One Qi Alliance was making a big move, but this didn't stir any waves in Zhuge Ming's heart, because he was currently standing on the frontier, the very place where he and his brothers had ventured out of the circle years ago.

Near Lingyuan, the towering city walls that once reached into the clouds have disappeared, replaced by a large group of cultivators wearing straw hats.

They stood silently above the Spirit Abyss, their faces hidden behind bamboo hats, revealing no expression.

Looking at their uniformly styled swords, Zhuge Ming knew that they were a branch of the Wang Quan family, members of the Quan family.

As Zhuge Ming approached, one of the Quan family members stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Halt! This is a restricted area. You'd better not proceed."

Upon approaching, Zhuge Ming carefully examined the Quan family disciples before him and noticed that they wore various masks under their straw hats. Zhuge Ming recognized the masks as the ones the mask masters had used to conceal their identities.

Looking at these familiar masks, the voices and smiles of Wang Quanba and the others seemed to reappear before Zhuge Ming's eyes.

Zhuge Ming opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

He knew that his brothers were no longer there. According to Dongfang Yuechu, they disappeared suddenly after handing over all their affairs, and their whereabouts were unknown. The only thing he knew was that they had come to this border region with the Quan family.

This is why Zhuge Ming came to the border again.

He wondered why they had come here, to this nightmarish place that held such painful memories for them, in the end.

"Where is your head of household? Is it convenient for me to see her?"

The Quan family disciple looked at Zhuge Ming with a puzzled expression.

"Who are you? And why do you wish to see the head of the family?"

Zhuge Ming smiled and said casually, "Just say that I am an old friend of Dongfang Yuechu and want to meet Madam Quan."

"An old friend of Dongfang Yuechu?"

Although the Quan family disciples were puzzled, they still waved to signal the disciples around them to go find the family head.

Zhuge Ming opened the Qiankun Fan, his gaze fixed on the outside of Lingyuan, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

"So many years have passed, and the changes on this border are truly remarkable..."

"Have you been to this border region before, sir?"

The Quan family disciple glanced at Zhuge Ming with surprise. After all, even some of the most advanced members of the Dao Alliance had never been to this border region, let alone someone as young as Zhuge Ming.

Zhuge Ming nodded, then fell silent, waiting quietly for Madam Quan to arrive.

------------

A moment later, an old woman, also wearing a straw hat, stood in front of Zhuge Ming with a surprised expression.

"It's you!!!"

Zhuge Ming smiled and waved. The person in front of him was Feng Tingyun, the disciple of Wang Quan Baye, the junior sister of Wang Quan Fugui, and the head of the Quan family.

Feng Tingyun was not as calm as Zhuge Ming at this moment. She first waved for the surrounding disciples to step back, and then looked at Zhuge Ming with a surprised expression.

"So many years have passed, why are you still the same? Can you teach me?"

Zhuge Ming was not surprised that she would ask such a question, because after all, Feng Tingyun was also a woman. No woman could remain calm after seeing someone who was the same age as her but looked as young as she did.

"Um, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you can't do that."

Feng Tingyun glanced at Zhuge Ming with disappointment, then returned to normal.

"What brings you to my border, you traitor to humanity?"

After speaking, Feng Tingyun glanced at Zhuge Ming with some wariness. This man in front of him was a lawless scoundrel who dared to break into Wangquan Manor with Dongfang Yuechu back then. Who knows what he was up to after disappearing for so long and then suddenly reappearing.

Zhuge Ming chuckled. He knew that Feng Tingyun was mocking him. As Wang Quanba's most trusted disciple, Feng Tingyun knew that the Black Fox was behind Tu Shan Ya Ya's attack on the Dao Alliance.

It seems this woman still harbors a lot of resentment towards the two of them for kidnapping Wang Quanfugui back then.

When he needed someone's help, Zhuge Ming forcibly suppressed the urge to retort.

"I came here to find out how the masked people died!"

Feng Tingyun's gaze sharpened, and he slowly turned his head, his body suddenly becoming hunched over.

"You know about Master and the others?"
