Chapter 1858 - 1854: The Three-Lives Tree (Second Update)
Chapter 1858: Chapter 1854: The Three-Lives Tree (Second Update)
Hearing this voice, the faces of the fox siblings, Huyue and Hu Ying, turned pale.
"Oh no, why is it him welcoming us! We’re doomed now, completely doomed." Huyue’s expression turned extremely grim.
This Fifth Elder, Hu Xing, was an existence that even gods and ghosts would avoid.
Moreover, unlike Hu Wan, this Fifth Elder Hu Xing was in charge of punishment, and he was impartial and stern towards everyone.
There was no one in the Qingqiu Fox Country who wasn’t afraid of him.
Especially Huyue, who, being mischievous, had been beaten by this Hu Xing many times since childhood, so upon hearing it was him, Huyue was so scared that he considered turning around to flee.
Even Hu Ying was shocked and filled with fear.
Sensing Huyue’s tremble, Ah Rou grasped Huyue’s hand from behind,
and this silent handhold quickly calmed Huyue down.
At the same time, Xue An smiled faintly and said loudly, "Didn’t expect the Fifth Elder of the Tribunal Hall to welcome us personally, how considerate."
Saying this, the door of the starship slowly opened, and Xue An stepped outside.
Huyue took a deep breath and then followed him.
When everyone exited the starship, they saw a group of people standing in the void not far away.
This group consisted of men and women, all quite young, each with a handsome appearance and finely dressed, though the tails some had behind them revealed their identity.
They were members of the Fox Clan from the Qingqiu Fox Country.
Leading them was a man in his thirties.
This man had a cold and stern face, rarely smiling, but his features were very handsome. Combined with his chilling aura, he possessed a unique charm.
He was none other than the famous, fearsome Fifth Elder, Hu Xing, of whom countless Fox Clan members were terrified.
Upon seeing Xue An, Hu Xing first scrutinized him closely and then showed a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
The news of the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable’s rebirth was the most explosive news in the Multiverse recently.
Naturally, Hu Xing had heard of it.
Moreover, the Third Elder Hu Wan had recounted the events involving the Dragon Clan upon returning.
Thus, it was only after this information that Hu Xing came to welcome Xue An here.
But he never expected that he wouldn’t be able to perceive Xue An’s strength.
One must know that Hu Xing was a renowned Immortal King expert.
His power ranked high even among the Demon Race.
Yet even such a being couldn’t gauge the depth of Xue An’s strength.
This was truly terrifying.
For the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable to have been reborn for such a short time, yet to not only reestablish himself as an Immortal King but also reach an unfathomable height in this period.
Hu Xing was deeply shaken by this and raised his evaluation of Xue An’s strength significantly.
At the same time, Xue An glanced at the welcoming entourage and couldn’t help but smile, "Such a grand welcome, Fifth Elder, did you know in advance that we would come?"
Hu Xing suppressed his mixed feelings, replied in a deep voice, "After the Third Elder returned with the news, I led the people waiting here, and sure enough, we awaited your arrival!"
Xue An nodded, with a half-smile, "How thoughtful of you!"
At this moment, Huyue and Hu Ying both stepped forward to bow.
"Fifth Elder!"
Seeing these siblings, a peculiar look appeared in Hu Xing’s eyes, and then he looked towards Ah Rou not far away.
The moment his gaze fell, Ah Rou seemed struck by lightning, her body shaking violently, and her face turned deathly pale.
Xiao Sha saw this and sneered, stepping forward, blocking Hu Xing’s gaze directly.
"Hey, old man, is it a bit too much to target a defenseless mortal woman?"
Old man?
This address left Hu Xing somewhat taken aback.
"Dragon Clan? Or a newly hatched dragon baby?"
Xiao Sha’s face instantly darkened, "You’re the newly hatched dragon baby, old lady here is already an adult!"
This display of fierce words didn’t anger Hu Xing.
In reality, no one would get mad at a little girl capable of melting one’s heart.
He chuckled and then looked meaningfully at Xue An and the others, including Huyue.
"Lord Red Lotus, Huyue, please come with me, the Great Elder has been waiting for you in the Fox Country for quite some time!"
Cold sweat instantly appeared on Huyue’s forehead, and he stammered, "The...Great Elder wants to see me?"
"Yes! Let’s go, don’t keep the Great Elder waiting anxiously!"
With that, without waiting for a response, he turned and flew towards the Fox Tribe Domain.
Huyue’s entire body trembled with nervousness.
Even though he had long made up his mind, facing the situation still made it hard to maintain composure.
Xue An sighed softly seeing this, "Huyue!"
"Ah... huh?"
"Let’s go, what’s meant to be seen has to be seen, what’s bound to come is unavoidable, and this matter needs to be faced eventually!"
Huyue’s breathing gradually steadied, and he finally nodded heavily, "Yes!"
The Fox Tribe Domain was vast, and this time they did not take the starship but flew by themselves, following Hu Xing and the others inside.
Unlike the Dragon Clan who resided together on a massive planet, the Fox Clan lived scattered.
The Fox Tribe Domain was filled with countless radiant planets.
These planets varied in size, but undoubtedly, each was inhabited by the Fox Clan.
As Hu Xing and the others flew through the void, the fox populace on these planets were also alerted.
"Here they come, the Fifth Elder has returned!"
"The one following behind is the renowned Red Lotus Immortal Venerable? He’s so handsome!" a fox maiden said, her eyes shining brightly.
"Pfft, you swoon over everyone, do you even consider who they are!" Another fox maiden spat, but she too looked dazzled at Xue An.
"I heard that this Red Lotus Immortal Venerable is a young man as flawless as jade. Seeing him today, he truly is extraordinary. If one could have a human-fox romance with him, wouldn’t it become a wonderful tale?"
These fox maidens giggled and blushed, talking dreamily and mischievously.
As one of the top demon races in the Multiverse, the passion and boldness of the fox maidens were well-known.
Such an unreserved display of discussing men could only be seen in the Qingqiu Fox Country.
Meanwhile, the attention of the male foxes was entirely on Huyue.
"The eldest prince has returned, but can he pass this ordeal?"
"Indeed, how could the eldest prince take a mortal woman as a companion, it’s incomprehensible."
"Red Lotus Immortal Venerable coming back with him is probably because of this matter! After all, he is our eldest prince’s sworn brother!"
"Heh, what can Red Lotus Immortal Venerable do? If the Great Elder gets mad, no one can help!"
Besides, many young male foxes focused on Hu Ying.
"The little princess went out and gained a lot of strength!"
"Yes, and she has become even more beautiful!"
As the entire Qingqiu Fox Country secretly discussed.
Xue An and others, following Hu Xing, arrived at the core of the Qingqiu Fox Country.
In front of a tree growing in the void, its height unknown, with branches and leaves covering billions of miles of the starry sky.
This was the most sacred object of the Heavenly Fox Clan, the Samsara Tree.
Hu Xing stopped and stepped aside, saying in a deep voice, "Lord Red Lotus, the Great Elder is waiting for you ahead, please!"
