Following the voice, a strong gust of wind rose up from behind me, heading straight for me.
I didn't dare to be careless. I picked up the Armor Remover Sword and turned around to face the enemy.
The person who launched the sneak attack was obviously the Qingqiu tribe leader that Yaoyao had defeated. She was still in her Snow Fox form. Her sharp claws were in front of her as she charged at me. Before she reached me, her mouth was filled with the stench of blood. It made my stomach churn.
I suppressed the disgust in my heart and held the Armor Remover Sword to dodge the attack.
Unexpectedly, she turned around and tried to grab my neck again.
At that moment, the Sacrificial Evil Spirit's cold voice resounded from below the stage. "Presumptuous!"
In an instant, the fox flew out and hit the ground hard. Her four legs twitched a few times before she stopped moving.
I had wanted to spare the Sacrificial Evil Spirit's life because I didn't expect the Sacrificial Evil Spirit to make a move on her own.
It seemed that she knew what I was thinking so she didn't want to make things difficult for me.
The High Priest's child glared at me with bloodshot eyes when he saw that the tribe leader was dead. He roared, "I will kill you!"
Then, he wanted to charge at me.
This person really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. What could a Seal Celestial Master do to me?
Before I could make a move, the High Priest had already jumped onto the stage. He waved his hand and a gust of wind swept the youth away. He was nowhere to be seen.
The High Priest knelt in front of me and begged for mercy for the youth.
He was quite clever. The youth had offended me earlier and should have been sentenced to death.
Hence, he waved his hand to sweep him away. Then, he begged for mercy for him to appease the anger in me. Perhaps, I would spare his son's life.
If I insisted on killing him now, the High Priest probably wouldn't have any complaints.
However, I couldn't stay in Qingqiu Country forever. Although Yaoyao won today and became the tribe leader, she was simple-minded and would need the High Priest's care in the future.
If I kill his son, after I leave, even if he doesn't plan to take revenge, at least he won't do his best to help Yao Yao like he is doing now.
I waved my hand to get the High Priest to stand up, indicating that I didn't have any intention to kill him.
After the High Priest thanked me, he followed me down the stage.
I returned to my original spot and asked about Yaoyao's current situation.
He said that Yao Yao is fine now, she just needs to rest well.
I nodded and carried Yao Yao. I walked around the stage and headed straight for the Fox King Palace.
Since Yao Yao was the new clan leader, from now on, the Fox Palace would naturally be her residence.
Not long after returning to the Fox King Palace, the Great Elder walked in.
He first cupped his hands at me, then asked about Yaoyao's injuries.
After getting my reply, he thumped his chest and stamped his feet, pretending to be relieved.
Although his appearance was disgusting, since Yaoyao wanted to be the tribe leader, she had to ally with everyone she could ally with. I didn't mind. Instead, I asked about the situation on the arena where the Qingqiu tribe leader had six tails.
I was curious about this and asked the High Priest about it, but he didn't know either.
This Great Elder was the former patriarch's faction, so he might know a thing or two.
Moreover, he had come to express goodwill, so he had to contribute something.
In addition, the former patriarch was already dead, so there was no need to hide this matter.
Thinking about this, I asked about it.
According to him, the reason why the former patriarch had six tails was that she had absorbed the Monster Pearl that the Qingqiu tribe had kept for thousands of years.
The Monster Pearl could provide a huge amount of energy. The former patriarch was already at the peak of the Yang God Celestial Master rank, so she thought that the Monster Pearl could help her advance successfully.
However, advancing didn't just require a huge amount of energy, it also required great opportunities.
Hence, after she had absorbed the Monster Pearl, she realized that she couldn't advance, so she could only use the energy in her body to form the sixth fox tail.
That way, she could avoid the danger of her body exploding.
Hence, the sixth tail was a helpless move, and it wasn't a sign of advancement.
After hearing this, I understood why her sixth tail was so short.
However, I didn't expect that the Monster Pearl would contain such a huge amount of energy, which surprised me.
Since the matter here had been resolved, I didn't want to delay any longer. I planned to ask the High Priest for a Monster Pearl and leave after Yaoyao woke up.
Unexpectedly, the High Priest told me that the Monster Pearl was a treasure of the Qingqiu tribe and could only be kept by the current patriarch. However, the former patriarch was dead, and we couldn't find the location of the Monster Pearl.
While I was worried, the Great Elder told me that the Monster Pearl didn't have many Monster Pearls left in the Qingqiu tribe, and the former patriarch had refined them all.
After listening to this, I was a little surprised.
I didn't expect that the fox monster would pay so much. It seemed that if I wanted to get the Monster Pearl, I would have to break her body.
With this thought, I didn't linger and hurried to the previous arena.
Fortunately, the fox monster's body wasn't taken away. It seemed that the tribe members were sensible.
If anyone were to take away her corpse without permission, they would be criticized by others.
The body was fine, but I was worried about how to take the Monster Pearl.
While I was thinking, the evil priest walked forward and reached out to grab the fox monster's body. He didn't say anything, but when he returned, he gave me a fist-sized Monster Pearl.
The Monster Pearl was white, and when I held it in my hand, I could feel a warm current flowing through it. From these two points, I could tell that it wasn't an ordinary item.
I didn't look at it carefully and put it away. Then, I hurried back to the Fox King Palace.
Not long after, Yao Yao woke up.
I told her that I had to leave immediately as the fatty was waiting for me to save his life.
At first, she wanted to ask me to stay, but when I mentioned the fatty, she didn't try to persuade me anymore.
She just told me to bring the fatty back to see her after his wounds were healed.
I nodded, then left with the sacrificial evil spirit.
After we left the Green Dragon Mountain, I contacted the fatty and asked him about his body condition.
After learning that he was all right, I felt relieved.
However, we didn't stop and took a taxi to Mount Yellow Crown. When we arrived, it was already the next morning.
The fatty came to meet us at the foot of the mountain. His face was even paler than it had been a few days ago. It seemed he hadn't told me the truth on the phone.
I didn't ask him again. I was afraid that if I asked him again, he would just brush me off.
Once I met Master Guan, I would know the details.
When the fatty saw us, he wasn't as excited as the last time. On the contrary, he was curious.
From his appearance, it seemed that Master Guan hadn't told him about it yet.
After the fatty led us to the main hall, he retreated.
When Master Guan saw me, he was delighted. He came to greet me and asked, "Nephew, did you succeed?"
I quickly took out the monster core from the Xiangliu pouch and replied, "Junior was lucky and didn't disappoint you."
Then, I handed the monster core to him.
When Master Guan saw the monster core, his eyes lit up.
However, he quickly regained his composure and carefully examined it. After a long time, he said, "There's a huge amount of energy inside. This is indeed the monster core."
After he said that, he cupped his hands to thank me.
Seeing him like that, I didn't dare to neglect him. I quickly returned his greeting and asked him how confident he was in treating the fatty.
After pondering for a while, Master Guan said, "My Divination Sect only knows how to perform divinations. I don't know much about curing people.
Fortunately, a few days ago, Junior Martial Brother told me about a method that can restore my disciple's meridians.
However, if I want my disciple to fully recover, I will need nephew's help. "
After listening to him, I was startled.
It wasn't because he wanted my help, but because Master Guan had mentioned his Junior Martial Brother.
If I remembered correctly, Master Guan only had one Junior Martial Brother, and that was Nangong.
If that was the case, Nangong had returned a few days ago.
That was good. I could ask him about what happened on Mount Lao.
Since I was worried about the Sect Leader of Mount Lao, I asked Master Guan about Nangong's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, he told me that Nangong had left Mount Huang Guan before me and that I didn't know where he had gone.
His words disappointed me. It seemed that Nangong already knew that I would come to Mount Huang Guan today.
If I missed him this time, I wouldn't know when I would be able to find him again. It seemed that he had done this on purpose.
I also didn't know why he had been hiding from me.
After pondering for a long time, I couldn't figure out the reason. I didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer and put it aside for the time being.
Then, I asked Master Guan about his request for my help.
Daoist Guan didn't linger and told me the key points in detail.
According to him, before he left, Nangong had told me that if I wanted to repair the fatty's tendons and veins of the heavens, I would have to transfer a large amount of Dao energy to his body.
Since the amount needed was too great, even the amount of Dao energy in Yang Shen Heavenly Master's body was far from enough.
Therefore, the only feasible method was to find a True Dragon's Vein and use it to connect the shattered veins of the heavens in the fatty's body.
Then, I would have to use the monster core and the secret technique that Nangong had told me to heal the fatty's injuries.
However, the fatty's body was deteriorating, and it was too late to find the True Dragon's Vein.
Therefore, Master Guan could only ask me to borrow the jade bracelet on my chest.
Master Guan also knew about the existence of the dragon's vein in my jade bracelet.
Previously, when I was sealing the acupoints, the dragon's vein was absorbed by the jade bracelet.
Later, in order not to be discovered, Master Guan asked the fatty to use the Five Emperor Coins to seal the dragon's aura.
However, his words made sense. If we didn't use the dragon energy in the jade bracelet, we would have to find the True Dragon's Vein.
Although there were many in Wangwu Heavenly Cave, the road to Mount Wangwu was too long, and the fatty's body wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. If something unexpected happened on the way, it would delay us even more.
With that thought, I took the jade bracelet off my chest and handed it to Master Guan.
Although I didn't know what kind of secret technique Master Guan had mentioned or why he needed such a large amount of dragon energy to heal the fatty, it would inevitably affect Tong Tong during the process.
Out of consideration for Tong Tong's safety, I called her out.
After seeing Tong Tong, Master Guan didn't have much of a reaction. He just looked at her with interest and asked me, "Inborn Yin Fetus?"
I trusted Master Guan and didn't want to hide anything from him. I nodded and smiled.
Master Guan didn't pay attention to Tong Tong. He nodded and asked me to take a rest while he went to prepare.
I had retrieved the monster core and given the jade bracelet to Master Guan. I didn't need to get involved in the fatty's affairs.
I stayed in the main hall for a while, but Master Guan didn't make any movements. Seeing that there was nothing to do, I took the evil sacrificial spirit and Tong Tong to stroll around the Yellow Crown Mountain.
Around two hours later, I had walked around the West side of the Yellow Crown Mountain and was about to rest in the Heavenly Dipper Pavilion. At this time, a Daoist child caught up with me and told me that Master Guan wanted to see me.
