“She’s already left the Imperium Vulpes Divine City. You’ve got the wrong idea,” the Divine-winged Fox said while leaning on his walking stick.

He was losing his vigor, looking deathly pale and spiritless. His old injuries had not healed, and after the hand-to-hand fighting, he suffered more injuries. He could barely control himself.

“Ha-ha, has she really left?” Wei Sinian sneered. “How can I not know it? The spies of the Demonic Snake Abyss have been secretly watching you for a long time. Divine-winged Fox, do you think that nobody knows your identity after you rescued the Green Fox God from the Green Fox Temple?”

The Divine-winged Fox was startled.

There might be some people who knew his identity, but they should be the high-level masters of the Green Fox Tribe and definitely shouldn’t be the people from the Demonic Snake Abyss.

Recently, there had been news that the chief of the Green Fox Tribe and his son had died in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. For this reason, the Green Fox Village should be safe for the moment.

The people from the Demonic Snake Abyss arrived here before those of the Green Fox Tribe. They killed mercilessly in order to find Bi Yan… It seemed that something was wrong.

“Everything in the Imperium Vulpes Divine City is under the control of the Demonic Snake Abyss. We have been paying attention to Bi Yan since she awakened the bloodline of the Green Fox God.” Wei Sinian smiled faintly. “After all, after she awakened the divine bloodline, she had divine blood in her body. Her divine blood contains the secret about how to become a deity. It can be used for the sake of the Devouring Skill of the Demonic Snake Abyss. Ha-ha, you rescued Bi Yan from the Green Fox Temple and hid her here. However, the whole process is under our control. We haven’t made any move because we’ve been waiting for an opportunity. Now, it’s time to take action.”

Upon hearing those words, the Divine-winged Fox suddenly understood many things.

For example, when he went to the Green Fox Temple to rescue Bi Yan after he sensed that she was in danger, he realized that things went more smoothly than he had imagined.

It seemed that some people were secretly helping him.

Now, it seemed that they were the people from the Demonic Snake Abyss.

Their plan was to help him save Bi Yan first and then wait for a good opportunity to take her away.

This way, it wouldn’t arouse suspicions from other clans.

In this way, they could minimize the risks while maximizing the reward.

It was a terrifying plan.

The Divine-winged Fox stared at Wei Sinian.

“During the fight in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, several super Heavenly Legends, including the young master of the Green Fox Tribe, Feng Xingyun, Ye Tianxie and the Witchcraft Saint, died one after another. Only this person has gotten out of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm alive.

“He is really something!

“He is very shrewd, cold-hearted, and good at plotting and scheming against others.

“He is probably the most formidable person among the top four Heavenly Legends in the Ziwei Star Zone.”

The Divine-winged Fox said, “If you have been closely watching this place, you should know that I’ve already sent her away.”

Wei Sinian smiled, slowly walked out of the courtyard, and then said, “Divine-winged Fox, you used to be the chief of the Green Fox Tribe and the ruler of Green Fox Temple. You know the secrets of the six major clans and the background of the Demonic Snake Abyss. Therefore, you’d better not try to resist in vain or play any game of words to make me change my mind. My request is very simple. Give Bi Yan to me. I’ll just take her divine blood today, and I’m not going to kill her. You still have a chance to save her. This is the best option for you. If you chose to stubbornly resist us, you would end up like the corpses in the village.”

The Divine-winged Fox looked at the village, which had been burned down by flames and could not be restored. Sorrow and grief flashed across his eyes.

Back then, the practitioners of the Green Fox Tribe followed him, remained firmly loyal to him even though he was framed and gave up his position as the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, and lived with him in this small village. However, all of them died in today’s fight.

“Even if I gave Bi Yan to you, you would not spare anyone’s life.” The Divine-winged Fox tried to contain his grief and anger. “The reason is that you don’t want other clans to know about Bi Yan’s divine blood.”

At such a moment, as the former chief of the Green Fox Tribe, he remained perfectly calm and judged the situation soberly.

Wei Sinian smiled again. He didn’t feel surprised. “With your benevolence, righteousness and wisdom, you deserve to be the chief of the Green Fox Tribe. What a pity! If you were not that benevolent back then, you would still be an influential figure of the Heavenly Fox and be able to protect your faithful wife and children… Maybe you’re right, but you have no other choice. Why don’t you give it a try? Perhaps I’ll become soft-hearted and let you go.”

“I’m going to kill you!” A Green Fox practitioner standing beside the Divine-winged Fox let out a furious roar, drew his sword, and thrust it at Wei Sinian.

A streak of cold light flashed by.

This talented young practitioner turned into a blood mist.

Wei Sinian didn’t even make a move.

A king-level protector by his side killed the practitioner with just one flick of a finger.

“Brother!”

“I’ll kill you!”

Another two young practitioners of the Green Fox Tribe roared furiously and rushed out of the courtyard to fight.

The Divine-winged Fox sighed silently, but he did not stop them.

They were the most outstanding and loyal young men of the Green Fox Tribe. Unfortunately, they were destined to die here today.

The tactical deployment in the small courtyard could not last for too long. In the courtyard, the grasses and trees had begun to wither, the spring had dried up, and yellow leaves were falling off the bamboo fence. In half an hour, the tactical deployment would be broken, and everyone in the courtyard would die. Moreover, it was hard to imagine what terrifying means Wei Sinian might use to find out Bi Yan’s whereabouts. Therefore, fighting to the death was not necessarily the worst option at this time.

Bang! Bang!

The two young practitioners were smashed into blood mist drifting in the air.

“What do you think? Do you still want the descendants of your loyal followers to die like this?” Wei Sinian smiled in a relaxed manner to exert influence.

The Divine-winged Fox sighed and said, “They won’t regret fighting to the death for the sake of the Green Fox God’s bloodline. Even if you were going to kill all of us today, the Green Fox God still wouldn’t show up. You…”

Before his voice faded off…

Boom!

A strange sound came from the sky.

Then, the void rippled, and a figure in a blue robe came out of the ripples.

It was a graceful, jade-like figure.

It was the Green Fox God, Bi Yan.

“Bi Yan, you…” The Divine-winged Fox was greatly shocked upon seeing Bi Yan. A look of despair appeared on his face.

A few days ago, he had to take action and seal Bi Yan in the last small world of the village to prevent her from doing anything silly and dying for that man called Li Mu. He planned to let her out after the storm passed and deal with the matter slowly. Unexpectedly, the people of the Demonic Snake Abyss showed up. He initially thought that the small world could protect Bi Yan, but he didn’t expect that she would forcefully break the seal and come out.

His plan suddenly fell flat.

As expected, Wei Sinian smiled very happily.

“That’s great. Now that she has delivered herself to me, I no longer have to worry.” He waved his hand and said, “Attack by force, break the tactical deployment in the courtyard, and get that woman for me.”

The masters of the Demonic Snake Abyss immediately took action to break the tactical deployment.

“Bi Yan, you… Their sacrifice for you will go in vain!” The Divine-winged Fox was shocked and angry.

Bi Yan looked at the old man in front of her. He resembled her father’s image in her memory, but he looked a little strange to her.

“Father, as the Green Fox God, I don’t fear death. Why shouldn’t I fight to the death today if I can’t protect the village? Mr. Li said that all living creatures in this world were born equal. I shouldn’t let others sacrifice their lives for my sake. The responsibility of deities is to protect their followers instead of letting the followers sacrifice for their sake.” Bi Yan looked determined and composed.

The Divine-winged Fox still wanted to say something.

However, Bi Yan looked at him with a serious look on her face and said, “Father, I respect your will to sacrifice your life, but please understand what I’m determined to do.”

The Divine-winged Fox was rendered speechless.

Just then, the tactical deployment in the courtyard broke into pieces, making a loud rumbling sound.
