Chapter 28

Relying on his master's command, "Qing Tian" quickly moved backward. Unfortunately, this time its opponent was not one of the Nine Nether species, but the most prominent figures from the various forces in the Seas and Mountains, so being caught was almost inevitable.

From the moment Qing Qiu Jiuyue realized she was being targeted, it took less than half an hour for these great figures to catch up to "Qing Tian" on the sea surface.

The countless streams of light emitted by the immortal treasures on the sea surface fell like meteors in front of the palace atop the floating mountain.

Although humans had lost the right to fly in the infinite sky, the top-tier immortal treasures like the Seven-Colored Heavenly Compass could still achieve brief suspension and flight over the sea and mountains covered by the laws of the Seas and Mountains.

Therefore, as a super-large war immortal treasure, "Qing Tian" could never escape from the beginning. Thinking that she could run away was just a delusion of the young princess, the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, Qing Qiu Jiuyue.

"Um... everyone... what do you want from me?" Qing Qiu Jiuyue, who had been caught, was sweating profusely as she looked at the people in front of her.

Each of these people was a prominent figure in the Seas and Mountains. It seemed like overkill to mobilize them all to catch a young fox princess who had run away from home, a waste of resources.

"Don't worry, Princess Qing Qiu, we didn't come to make things difficult for you. We just want to buy something from you." Huang Tianwu, the master of Mount Huang, tried to put on a kind and benevolent face, but his naturally intimidating appearance made him look more like a weasel visiting a chicken, making Qing Qiu Jiuyue feel a chill down her spine.

"I don't care about those things, but you can't touch a single hair of our princess. If you want those things, trade your treasures for them." A young man in black stood in front of Qing Qiu Jiuyue, his cold eyes scanning the surroundings, and his powerful demonic aura was released without restraint, lowering the temperature around him by several degrees.

The black fox ears and tail represented his supreme status in the fox demon clan.

A hundred years for green, a thousand years for white, and ten thousand years for black—this was the standard for the hierarchy in the fox demon clan. Black fox ears and a tail represented the peak of the fox demon clan—the Black Fox Elder.

The hierarchy in the fox demon clan was absolute. The Black Fox Elder, who had practiced for ten thousand years, was the backbone of the entire fox demon clan, with combat power surpassing even the queens of past generations. He was one of the top demons in the Seas and Mountains.

In the fox demon clan, except for the almost legendary golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox lineage, the Black Fox Elder represented the ultimate military power of the fox demon clan, the strongest combat force protecting the fox demon clan.

At this moment, the one who came to Qing Qiu Jiuyue's side was one of the three remaining Black Fox Elders in the fox demon clan, the Third Elder known as "Xuanming," the youngest Black Fox Elder in the fox demon clan, and thus specially granted the most honorable clan name "Qing Qiu."

Qing Qiu Xuanming, the strongest guard responsible for protecting Princess Qing Qiu, was a black fox demon that struck fear into the hearts of the Seas and Mountains. With him here, even the top figures in the Seas and Mountains would not dare to truly coerce Qing Qiu Jiuyue into handing over the legacy of the Nine Nether species.

Because he was Qing Qiu Xuanming, one of the most terrifying demons in the Seas and Mountains.

With him here, everyone would have to weigh whether it was worth it to take action against Qing Qiu Jiuyue for the legacy of the Nine Nether species.

"Ha ha ha, of course, we didn't come to start a war with the fox demon clan. We won't do anything to the little princess." The Grand Elder of Xuanwu Academy broke the deadlock first. The older he got, the more he loved the younger generation. He took out a pair of bracelets from his pocket:

"This pair of Xuanwu Rings is a gift for the little princess. Our Xuanwu Academy has recently discovered some Essence of Xuan Water. Would you like to exchange some materials for it?"

Qing Qiu Jiuyue's eyes widened. Essence of Xuan Water was truly a great thing. According to legend, just one drop could transform into countless waters, making it a super material for refining immortal treasures. It was a precious material that was highly valued but rarely available in the Seas and Mountains. She had nothing to trade for such a thing.

"Hmph, Essence of Xuan Water is nothing. I have the Nether Spring Immortal Water, which can preserve youth forever, perfect for the little princess." The Third Commander of Nether Spring Immortal Dao also took out his treasure.

Qing Qiu Jiuyue was startled. The Nether Spring Immortal Water, which could preserve youth forever, was already a legendary treasure. It was said that the Nether Spring Immortal Dao could only collect a few drops a year and had never put it up for trade.

"Princess, I have brought the feathers of the Vermilion Bird. This is the best treasure of our Vermilion Bird Academy, a material for refining the legendary Vermilion Bird Fan. If you carry these feathers, you will be loved by all the birds in the Seas and Mountains." The Deputy Dean of the Vermilion Bird Academy, who had always had good relations with the demon race, also revealed his ace, the feathers of the holy beast Vermilion Bird, which were rare treasures for all demon races.

Qing Qiu Jiuyue could hardly believe her eyes. These were the feathers of the Vermilion Bird, the secret treasure she had begged the Dean of the Vermilion Bird Academy for days without success, the academy's most prized possession.

"I have a set of combined immortal swords that can automatically form the Ten Thousand Sword Killing Array, which should be very suitable for the little princess." The Fourth Sword Master of the White Tiger Academy hesitated for a moment and also took out the best treasure he could offer.

Qing Qiu Jiuyue felt that she had received enough shocks for the day. The combined sword array of the White Tiger Academy was a special immortal treasure reserved for the academy's elders, never given to outsiders.

"This... the ten-thousand-year-old pine seeds of Mount Huang are just ripe. I can offer three pounds." Huang Tianwu, the master of Mount Huang, gritted his teeth and reported his treasure. The ten-thousand-year-old pine seeds of Mount Huang were a treasure for humans, a spiritual substance said to enlighten intelligent beings, of immeasurable value.

It could be said that to obtain the legacy of the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, Princess Qing Qiu Jiuyue, the major forces had almost offered prices that were impossible to refuse.

"Princess, which ones do you want?" Qing Qiu Xuanming protected Qing Qiu Jiuyue behind him. These were almost all treasures that were highly valued but rarely available. Even he found it a luxury to have such a choice.

Indeed, the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox was the hope for the revival of the fox demon clan, the only choice to lead the clan to prosperity.

"This... this... I want them all..." Qing Qiu Jiuyue, dazzled by the array of treasures, really didn't know how to choose. She wanted all of them, and she couldn't bear to give up any of them. It was a luxurious and happy dilemma.

"Then, let's follow the agreement." Qing Qiu Xuanming, who had anticipated this, waved his hand, and the treasures offered by the major forces fell into his hands, then turned into black balls floating in the air.

"Very well."

"Then, let's go and see."

"There's no choice, let's follow the agreement."

"Those who didn't make it in time will cry, ha ha."

The major forces who came together laughed. On their way, they had already decided on the distribution plan, and the prices they offered were equivalent to the shares they wanted.

The Vermilion Bird Academy offered the highest price. The feathers of the holy beast Vermilion Bird were the highest-level treasures in the Seas and Mountains, enough to create a super immortal treasure.

Next was the Nether Spring Immortal Water from the Nether Spring Immortal Dao. The Nether Spring Immortal Water, which could preserve youth forever, was a rare treasure in any era. If it weren't limited to female use, it would be even more valuable and could be exchanged for any treasure in any force.

The subsequent treasures were roughly equal in value, precious but not to the point of being unattainable, but they were still rare and good treasures.

This was related to the research directions of the major forces regarding the Nine Nether species. As the gathering place of the demon race, the Vermilion Bird Academy had the best interest in the Nine Nether species, a foreign species, and was always at the forefront of research, so they were always willing to pay any price to obtain the legacy of the Nine Nether species.

The other three major academies also had in-depth research on the Nine Nether species, followed by other forces. However, the Nether Spring Immortal Dao was special. They had a general interest in the Nine Nether species but were fanatically pursuing the Nether Sea where the Nine Nether species appeared, believing that it was related to a certain legend of the Nether Spring Immortal Dao.

Thus, the division of the legacy of the Nine Nether species was completed. The four major academies and the Nether Spring Immortal Dao took the largest share, while the other forces divided the remaining part. As for the other forces who didn't make it in time, they clearly missed out on the legacy of the Nine Nether species.

"What, those fragments are so valuable?" Qing Qiu Jiuyue, who finally learned from the Black Fox Elder what these great figures wanted, opened her eyes wide, finding it hard to believe that the fragments she had casually thrown into the warehouse could cause such a big stir.

"That's right, but the most important thing is that you are safe, Princess. This time, I failed to protect you. In the future, please let me stay by your side." In Qing Qiu Xuanming's eyes, a hundred Nine Nether species were not as important as Qing Qiu Jiuyue.

For the fox demon clan, they could no longer afford the loss of the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox lineage. For the fox demon clan, the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox was not a legend or a mascot but the only hope to lead the clan to revival.

Without the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, the demon race would be like lifeless mountains, and the entire race would decline. The fox demon clan, now with only three Black Fox Elders, was a stark lesson.

In the distant past, when the last golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox fell, it marked the beginning of the decline of the fox demon clan. Without the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, the entire race degenerated, and only one Black Fox Elder was born afterward.

What a tragedy. When the last golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox was alive, the fox demon clan had thirteen fox demon elders and was a top-tier superpower in the Seas and Mountains.

"Um, it's okay." Qing Qiu Jiuyue, who had received many treasures, was in an exceptionally good mood, then suddenly remembered something.

"Xuanming, are there any other golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed foxes in our clan?" Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
