Chapter 63

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, nor am I the type to shout about slaying demons and monsters. I'm just curious!"

Zhu Ganglie smiled and spoke, lightly shaking the Yongyang Ruler in his hand, and the white fox he had captured was released.

This action also won the favor of Xiaoxiao and the maidservant by her side, but the maidservant remained highly alert, coldly asking Zhu Ganglie, "Young Master, who are you? Why did you track us to our residence?"

As they spoke, they firmly protected Xiaoxiao, shielding her behind them.

"Nothing else, just curiosity. Why can this young lady move about invisibly without leaving a trace, even concealing the aura of a pure fox?"

Zhu Ganglie did not hide his intentions and spoke directly, his eyes sharply focused on the young girl not far away.

"Then tell me who you are first, and I'll tell you!"

Hearing Zhu Ganglie's words, Xiaoxiao, protected by the two fox spirits, replied with a playful tone, her two dimples resembling the crescent moon, seemingly not at all panicked by the appearance of the Daoist.

This pure aura made Zhu Ganglie quite pleased, and he smiled, saying, "My name is Zhu Ganglie, from the Shenxiao Dao."

Although Zhu Ganglie's words were somewhat perfunctory, the young girl smiled and blinked, saying, "The reason I can become invisible is because of the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, a treasure of our clan! We have two leaves, one in the hands of the Tushan foxes, and one in the hands of the Qingqiu foxes.

I originally lived in Tushan, but after my mother passed away, the Elder Tuyumei rebelled against me. The two nannies brought me here to seek refuge with the Qingqiu foxes.

However, the Qingqiu foxes disappeared, and the Qingqiu Mountain was occupied by others. We had to hide here to avoid being captured by the Elder."

After hearing these words, Zhu Ganglie's gaze darkened. The six-tailed fox spirit must be the Qingqiu fox. He did not expect that the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf had other leaves, not just the one he had. It seemed he would have to be more cautious in the future.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie's contemplative expression, the nanny Wang slowly said, "The Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf is an ancient spiritual object. It is said there are nine leaves. A single leaf only has the effect of concealment, but if all nine leaves are gathered, it is said to grant immortality and a great power.

However, the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf is extremely difficult to find, and few people can gather all nine."

As Wang spoke, she looked at Zhu Ganglie and said, "We are being pursued. If the Daoist can help our young lady enter Qingqiu Mountain and take control of the Qingqiu foxes, we are willing to gift the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf to the Daoist!"

After Wang finished speaking, she glanced at Xiaoxiao. In Wang's eyes, Xiaoxiao reluctantly said, "The Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf is a treasure given to me by my mother. I originally wanted to keep it as a memento, but since Wang Nanny said so, I will give it to you. Otherwise, we will have to hide here every day.

The two nannies want me to cultivate here!"

Zhu Ganglie was amused by the little girl's expression but had no interest in helping them enter Qingqiu Mountain.

Although he liked the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, one leaf was enough. Moreover, Qingqiu Mountain was the lair of the nine-tailed fox spirit, and it was unknown how dangerous it was. With his current strength, it was better not to get involved in this mess.

He was about to refuse.

However, the two nannies clearly saw Zhu Ganglie's expression. The captured fox spirit bowed and said, "The Daoist is a celestial being, and we dare not have any expectations. However, the Tushan clan is also an ancient celestial lineage, once having a connection with the great sage Dayu, so we are not considered fox spirits.

We ask the celestial being not to refuse.

The nine-tailed foxes in Qingqiu Mountain have mysteriously disappeared. The current occupant is a newly ascended fox spirit, who claims to be the Ten Thousand Year Fox King, but is not a pure fox, but a wild fox spirit.

We see that the Daoist is from a prestigious lineage and is powerful. We ask the Daoist to help us for the sake of our shared lineage!"

As the two fox spirits spoke, their expressions showed a hint of pleading. They had been easily defeated by Zhu Ganglie in battle, knowing that he was powerful and not a low-level cultivator or a fox spirit they could resist.

"Young Master, this is the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf. I will give it to you now. Please help us, so Xiaoxiao can cultivate here in peace."

Xiaoxiao opened her hand, and a green leaf the size of a finger appeared, emitting a pure life aura.

Seeing the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, Zhu Ganglie's heart stirred. Perhaps this was the opportunity for him to break through to the Manifestation Realm. He reached out and touched the leaf in Xiaoxiao's hand, absorbing it into his third eye.

This made the two nannies beside her look alarmed, fearing that Zhu Ganglie would take the treasure and run. However, Xiaoxiao showed no suspicion of Zhu Ganglie, displaying a trusting expression.

As soon as the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf entered his divine soul, Zhu Ganglie felt the leaf in his third eye move. The two leaves flew out of his body, floating in front of his third eye, drawing in the essence of heaven and earth.

For a moment, a vast amount of the essence of heaven and earth was absorbed into the two leaves.

With a snap, the two leaves merged, emitting a green light, and then re-entered Zhu Ganglie's third eye.

At this moment, Zhu Ganglie felt his divine soul filled with a vast amount of the essence of heaven and earth. A green life aura enveloped his divine soul, nourishing and strengthening it.

To Xiaoxiao and the others, the Daoist was surrounded by a green aura, which was quite beautiful.

Feeling this life aura, Zhu Ganglie immediately activated the Ice Spirit Dao, refining the life aura.

After a while, Zhu Ganglie suddenly felt his divine soul vibrate, and the green aura around him was completely absorbed into his divine soul. A sense of unprecedented enlightenment filled his mind.

This feeling made Zhu Ganglie extremely happy, and he wanted to laugh out loud, releasing his joy. He did not expect to break through to the Manifestation Realm and achieve the Possession Realm.

Achieving the Possession Realm not only greatly increased his strength but also granted him a lifespan of three hundred years. With these three hundred years, he could cultivate to the Golden Core Realm without haste.

Originally, he planned to cultivate the Great Vajra Form, but now he could cultivate the Possession Realm and condense the Gang Qi with peace of mind.

This would greatly help him return to the Shenxiao Dao and find the ancient witch. The journey was dangerous, and more strength meant more confidence.

After organizing his divine soul, Zhu Ganglie smiled at the three people in front of him and said, "Thank you, young lady, for the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf. Now that my realm has improved, I have some confidence in helping you. However, I don't know the strength of the Ten Thousand Year Fox King?"

Hearing Zhu Ganglie's words, the three people were overjoyed, especially seeing his realm improve and his strength increase, giving them more hope of reclaiming Qingqiu Mountain.

Xiaoxiao bowed slightly and said, "We thank the Daoist for your assistance! The Ten Thousand Year Fox King once joined the Seven Kill Sect and cultivated the Seven Kill Dao, reaching the Manifestation Realm. We cannot defeat him. If it weren't for the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, we would have been captured by them."

"Seven Kill Sect?"

Zhu Ganglie's brows furrowed slightly. He did not expect a wild fox to join a sect. If so, dealing with the Ten Thousand Year Fox King would require more caution.

However, even if the Seven Kill Sect was a major sect, he was not afraid. Having broken through his realm with Xiaoxiao's help, he needed to repay this favor.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie's expression, Wang Nanny blamed her young lady for being too straightforward. If she scared away the Daoist, they would have no hope.

However, since her young lady had already spoken, Wang knew they could not hide anything. Otherwise, the Daoist might think they were deceiving him and leave in anger.

She stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Daoist, the Seven Kill Sect is a sect of miscellaneous cultivators. The highest realm among them is the Possession Realm, and they cultivate on Seven Kill Mountain, hundreds of miles away.

We don't know the specifics, but the Ten Thousand Year Fox King has mastered two spells, the Five Yin Bag and the Chaotic Heaven Banner, which are very powerful."

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie felt greatly relieved. Since it was a minor sect, he did not need to worry about the Ten Thousand Year Fox King having any powerful abilities. He smiled and said, "You are honest. However, it's just a minor sect, so you don't need to worry. I will remove the fox king today!"

"Thank you, Young Master, for your assistance!"

Xiaoxiao said with joy, and the two women beside her bowed with gratitude.
