Chapter 1333: Linghu Master, how are you? The remaining soul of Zimo Patriarch
"Mr. Linghu, how are you?"
Chen Xuan's indifferent voice came from behind Master Linghu.
The moment they saw Chen Xuan appear, Master Linghu and Xue Hu'er's expressions changed drastically at the same time.
"You...when did you appear behind us?" Young Master Linghu asked in horror.
He was deeply impressed by Chen Xuan.
After all, Chen Xuan was the immortal cultivator who almost deprived him of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox inheritance and even almost cost him his life.
Even now, Master Linghu has already advanced to the middle stage of fusion, and Chen Xuan's cultivation is even lower than his.
But the moment he saw Chen Xuan, he couldn't suppress the creepy sense of crisis.
"Haha, I didn't expect Master Linghu hasn't forgotten me yet!"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Soon, his eyes turned to the snow fox beside Master Linghu.
"Fairy, are you Master Linghu's furnace?"
When Xuehu'er heard this, her pretty face immediately turned red. If Chen Xuan wasn't a strong man in the fusion stage.
There is a gap of one level in cultivation between her and Chen Xuan, so I'm afraid she would have to attack Chen Xuan directly.
"Senior, please don't talk nonsense. I, Xuehu'er, am not Young Master Linghu's cauldron." Xuehu'er said hurriedly.
Chen Xuan looked surprised.
He glanced at Master Linghu with surprise and understood everything in an instant.
"Haha, Master Linghu, have you changed your character? Why didn't you bring so many furnaces and tripods with you this time?"
Chen Xuan's words really made him lose face.
Especially, his glorious image in Xuehuer's heart these days collapsed in an instant.
"Friend Chen, we are old friends after all, please don't talk nonsense. When did I get a furnace?"
Young Master Linghu seemed to be pretending to be angry, but he kept blinking at Chen Xuan while speaking.
It seemed like he was hinting at Chen Xuan to go easy on him.
Chen Xuan, however, acted as if he hadn't seen it and said directly: "Mr. Linghu, whether you admit it or not is fine. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I am too lazy to care."
"I'm also curious, why did you two appear in the Sky Fox Mountains?"
Chen Xuan’s words made Master Linghu feel horrified.
If Chen Xuan knew that they followed him all the way just to kill people and steal treasures, even if Master Linghu had a powerful backer like the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, he would probably die at the hands of Chen Xuan.
After all, Chen Xuan’s methods back then are still hard for him to forget.
In fact, after so many years, Master Linghu's fear of Chen Xuan has become deep in his bones.
"Ahem. Fellow Daoist Chen, you are a cultivator of the human race, but you appeared in the Sky Fox Mountains. I am a little curious!" said Master Linghu.
"Haha, Mr. Linghu, if you are so reluctant to say it, then I will tell you about the furnace?" Chen Xuan sneered.
Upon hearing this, Master Linghu gritted his teeth and showed a look of determination.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, if you knew the truth, you can kill me or chop me up as you please. But you cannot touch a hair of the Snow Fox Fairy. Otherwise, I will never let you go." Master Linghu said angrily.
Seeing that Master Linghu was still protecting her at this moment, the inexperienced Snow Fox was immediately moved.
I wish I could throw myself into Master Linghu's arms right now.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"Okay, why are you pretending? Tell me first!" Chen Xuan said coldly.
When Master Linghu saw this, although his expression still showed that he was ready to be slaughtered by Chen Xuan, he immediately realized that Chen Xuan probably had no intention of killing him.
Otherwise, with Chen Xuan's methods, he would have died countless times already.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, the biological father of this Snow Fox Fairy has a cave in the Sky Fox Mountains. To be honest, it is the cave you entered."
"In order to get the things that Snow Fox's biological father left for Snow Fox Fairy, we have no choice but to follow you all the way."
Master Linghu explained seriously.
Chen Xuan was stunned.
Curious eyes looked at Master Linghu.
"There were quite a few cultivators who entered that cave with us, so why did you two follow me all the way?"
"Master Linghu, don't play tricks on me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
When Chen Xuan said this, his expression suddenly turned cold.
The next moment, a group of gold-eating insect kings appeared around Master Linghu and Xuehu'er at some point in time.
Completely block the two people's escape route.
Seeing this, Master Linghu and Xuehu'er suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, this... You are not really going to attack me, are you? You know clearly that killing me will not benefit you at all." Young Master Linghu said anxiously.
"Do you really think I'd be scared?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he said it lightly, the sense of crisis he brought to Master Linghu was suffocating.
"Hey, I know that Fellow Daoist Chen, you will definitely not be afraid. But, I don't understand why Fairy Snow Fox insists that I follow you." Master Linghu said awkwardly.
Chen Xuan glanced at Master Linghu with surprise.
After seeing that Master Linghu did not lie, he looked at Xuehuer.
Now, Snow Fox's face turned extremely ugly.
"Senior, if I tell the truth, can you spare my life?"
"Firstly!"
"Yes, senior. Because, I can feel the aura of the thing my father left for me from you. Senior, Xuehu'er may not want other things. But the thing my father left for me is very important to Xuehu'er. It may even affect my future cultivation. If you can be so kind as to give that thing to Xuehu'er, Xuehu'er will be very grateful to you."
Snow Fox didn't dare to hide it.
He quickly explained.
Chen Xuan's eyes swept deeply over Xuehu'er. Then he said, "Fairy, the cave you said was your father's cave. Your father left some very important things for you in the cave."
"And you felt what your father left you in me. That's why you and Master Linghu followed me all the way, right?"
Upon hearing this, Snow Fox nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I am very curious, fairy, who is your father?"
"My father... my father is Zimo. Many seniors call him Patriarch Zimo. Speaking of which, my father and the seniors do have some connections. He is also a demon cultivator who has a very good relationship with your human race. Senior, can you, for my father's sake, return the things my father left for me?"
Snow Fox sounded so pitiful.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan naturally couldn't bear to make things difficult for Xue Huer.
What's more, Ancestor Zimo is considered a senior master of both the human and demon races.
As a younger generation, he cannot bully the children of his elders.
But Chen Xuan would not completely believe that Xue Huer was the daughter of Patriarch Zimo just because of what Xue Huer said.
"Fairy, do you have any evidence to prove that you are the descendant of Ancestor Zimo?" Chen Xuan said.
"Reporting to the senior, I naturally have a way."
When Xuehu'er said this, her pretty face turned red for some reason.
Soon, she reached out and took a piece of beautiful jade from her chest, and handed it to Chen Xuan respectfully.
"Senior, this jade token is something my father left me. He said that if there is a chance in the future, he must let me take this jade token to the demon clan's Sishui City."
"He said, although I have the blood of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox in my body, I am also a cultivator from the demon race. I must not forget my roots."
Chen Xuan listened carefully to Xue Huer's explanation.
But his eyes were looking at the jade token handed to him by Xuehuer.
hum!
Chen Xuan made a casual move, and the jade token in Xue Huer's hand instantly fell into Chen Xuan's hand.
At this moment, Chen Xuan flipped his palm.
An identical jade token suddenly appeared in Chen Xuan's hand.
It was Chen Xuan’s own identity card as an elder in the fusion stage of Sishui City.
"It turned out to be an identity card of a fusion-stage elder from Sishui City."
Chen Xuan looked surprised.
Soon, he looked at Xue Hu'er and said, "Lend me a drop of your blood."
Before Snow Fox could react, Chen Xuan moved his fingers quickly.
A drop of essence blood dripped rapidly from the fingertips of Snow Fox and quickly fell into the token of the elder of the fusion period of Si Shui City in Chen Xuan's hand.
Not long after, a striking light suddenly emerged from the token in his hand.
An old, illusory figure also appeared.
"Fellow Daoist! You actually know how to stimulate the residual soul hidden in my identity card. It seems that fellow Daoist should be an elder in the fusion stage of my Sishui City."
"I am the Ancestor Zimo, and I am an elder of the Sishui City demon race who is in the fusion stage. In my life, I owe nothing to the human and demon races, and even less to the Sishui City."
"The only people I owe to them are Xuehu'er and her mother."
"Fellow Daoist, for the sake of being a fellow elder of the Fusion Stage from Sishui City, please do not embarrass my little daughter, Snow Fox."
"If you can spare my daughter, I will use my lifelong experience in alchemy as a reward to thank you."
Seeing this, Chen Xuan remained calm.
But when Snow Fox saw this, two lines of tears rolled out instantly.
"father!"
"Xuehu'er, are you okay?"
"Dad, I'm fine!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Dad is incompetent. He failed to reunite your mother with you. Dad... I'm sorry."
Patriarch Zimo looked apologetic.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan looked calm, but he was somewhat moved in his heart.
He had heard a lot about Patriarch Zimo in Si Shui City.
Chen Xuan knew that this person, who was the first person under the Mahayana stage in both the human and demon races, was not only powerful, but also one of the few alchemists in the demon race.
Who would have thought that in the end he couldn't even protect his own wife and daughter.
"Fellow Daoist Zimo. I am Chen Xuan, the elder of Sishui City. This time, since I can meet the remaining soul of Daoist Fellow, it is also a fluke."
"Don't worry. Since Xue Hu'er is the descendant of my Sishui City's Fusion Stage elder, I will definitely protect her safety."
"If she really wants to go back to Sishui City, I will take her to Sishui City."
"However, the current situation in Sishui City is different from before. The great catastrophe of heaven and earth has just begun. Our human race's Sishui City is engulfed in flames of war every day."
"If Xuehu'er went to Sishui City, the danger would still be great."
"How to decide, please make your own decision."
Chen Xuan looked at Ancestor Zimo with a very solemn expression.
Patriarch Zimo pondered for a moment and bowed to Chen Xuan.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen. If that's the case, please send Snow Fox to her mother. When the time comes, Snow Fox's mother will naturally thank you."
"The energy in my remaining soul is about to run out. I still have something to say to Snow Fox. I won't chat with you anymore. Sorry!"
After Patriarch Zimo finished speaking, his eyes quickly turned to Xuehuer.
Soon, Chen Xuan saw that Patriarch Zimo's lips moved slightly, and he kept sending messages to Xue Huer.
After hearing this, Xuehuer burst into tears.
But at this moment, Patriarch Zimo looked at Xuehu'er with a kind face.
Soon, his illusory body quickly dissipated.
Xue Hu'er looked at the direction where Patriarch Zimo disappeared and instantly burst into tears.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
"Fairy, life and death are normal for us cultivators. Your father's concern for you has never changed."
"Since your father asked me to send you to your mother, I will not break my promise. However, after I finish the things at hand, I need to return to Sishui City immediately. Fairy, please hurry up and tell me who your mother is and where she is."
Upon hearing this, Snow Fox immediately stopped crying.
"Reporting to the senior, my biological mother is in Snow Fox City. However, it may not be easy for me to see my mother." Snow Fox said.
When Chen Xuan heard this, he remembered what Xu Long had told him about Ancestor Zimo, and he suddenly understood.
"If I'm not mistaken, Fairy, your mother should have been punished by the ancestor of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and she hasn't escaped yet, right?"
"If that's the case, please rest assured, Fairy. I will naturally take care of this matter."
Upon hearing this, Snow Fox suddenly looked ecstatic.
"Thank you, Senior! Here, I have some alchemy books and some alchemy experience left by my father. Just consider it as Snow Fox's reward to you, Senior."
As Xue Huer spoke, he immediately handed several jade slips to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan nodded.
His divine sense swept through the jade slip and immediately revealed a hint of surprise.
"This...is so easy to get!"
