Chapter 1891: Chapter 1887: Kneel and Kowtow—I Am Your Ancestor (First Update)
"Pathetic?" Xue An shook his head and chuckled lightly, then said casually, "If I didn’t do this, how would I force you to make a move?"
The face of the young fox tribe member darkened instantly, and he said gloomily, "Oh, you really did it on purpose, no wonder you led that guy over to me!"
"Nonsense, this is your fox clan’s business. If you don’t make a move, who will?"
"But I’m already this old, can’t you show some consideration? Really, no respect for elders and care for young ones!" The young fox tribe member had a look of disapproval for the decline of morals.
Xue An looked at him coldly, "Respect elders and care for young ones? Do you not feel guilty saying that?"
"Guilty? Guilty of what? That’s how it is, isn’t it? I’m quite old, yet you’re scheming against me."
A boy who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen, handsome like a maiden, calling himself ’old man’ seemed quite odd.
Xue An paused briefly, then cupped his hands, "Farewell!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
This time, the young fox tribe member became anxious and hurriedly put on a smiling face, "Hey, Xiao Hong, why take jokes so seriously! Old man here is just playing with you, look at how you’re taking it to heart!"
Xue An suddenly stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and slowly turned around, demanding coldly, "What did you just call me?"
"Xiao Hong, what’s wrong with that?" The young fox tribe member said with a grin, "Aren’t you called Red Lotus Immortal Venerable? Calling you this feels more intimate."
"You’re Xiao Hong, your whole family is Xiao Hong, damn it, my surname is Xue!" Xue An shouted angrily, even using swear words due to how worked up he became.
"Oh! Your surname is Xue!" The young fox tribe member nodded and then asked, "What should I call you then? Xue Xiao Hong?"
Xue An stood there, eyes filled with astonishment and confusion, until a moment later he realized, almost spitting out blood, his face turned pale with anger.
Seeing this, the young fox tribe member couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, alright, I’m just joking with you, look at how seriously you’re taking it."
As he laughed, the whole Three-Life Tree trembled.
The space rippled like water, extending deep into the void.
Seeing this, the Nine-Headed Serpent, who was already on high alert, had his pupils shrink to pinpoints.
Because he felt an indescribable vast imposing force from this fox tribe member, as if the light of a firefly facing a bright moon, making him feel so insignificant.
At the same time, Huyue and others arrived quickly.
When they rushed into the scene, they were all stunned speechless.
"Nine... Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox?" Huyue could hardly believe his eyes, softly murmuring with a dazed face.
No wonder he was so surprised.
This scene was truly unbelievable.
Qingqiu Fox Clan is known for its lineage from ancient divine beasts, with strength measured by the number of tails.
Typically, having five tails is considered strong within the fox clan, while those with pure blood can reach up to six or even seven tails.
For example, Huyue, who became a Seven-Tailed Heavenly Fox upon achieving Immortal King status, the youngest in Qingqiu Fox Country’s history to do so.
But due to battles on Earth and the recent fight, Huyue burned two tails, leaving him with only five tails now.
In Qingqiu Fox Country, the member with the most tails, hence the most powerful, was the previous Great Elder.
He had already become an Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox, just one step away from growing Nine Tails and becoming a true Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
Unfortunately, that gap of one tail was like an insurmountable chasm.
Even as the Great Elder faced the Five Declines of the Heavenly Being and ultimately fell, he couldn’t cross that final step.
This shows how difficult it is to ascend to Nine Tails.
In the history of the fox clan, there have been only a few that ascended to Nine Tails.
So Huyue’s excitement at seeing this boy was understandable.
Meanwhile, the young fox tribe member glanced at Huyue, smiled lightly, and said, "Bow down and pay respect, for I am your ancestor!"
This would sound insulting from anyone else, but when this boy said it, it seemed so natural.
And Huyue was truly obedient, his knees buckled, and he knelt in the void.
Not just him, but including Hu Wan and Hu Xing, all Qingqiu Fox Clan members knelt with fervor.
Some fox clan members were trembling all over with excitement.
For them, seeing the presence of a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox in their lifetime meant they could die without regrets.
Facing this kneeling crowd, this young fox tribe member showed a proud look, turning to Xue An, "Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, how’s this? Do I look impressive?"
Xue An shook his head firmly, "I don’t see!"
The young fox tribe member was slightly taken aback, then realized, sulkingly muttering, "Damn, I was careless, got tricked."
At this moment, the Nine-Headed Serpent was quietly retreating deeper into the void.
He understood that in a duel against Xue An, the odds were fifty-fifty, plus his ability to revive, it was a profitable situation.
But adding this mysterious young fox tribe member made the outcome uncertain.
Though he is an exotic beast, he is exceedingly cautious.
So to be safe, he decided to retreat first, other matters can wait for later.
But before he could retreat a hundred yards, the young fox tribe member suddenly turned to him with a grin.
"Planning to leave just like that?"
The Nine-Headed Serpent’s body shook, but he soon calmed down, sneering, "And what do you want?"
Before he finished speaking, the young fox tribe member stood up slowly, lazily stretched, then said in a leisurely tone.
"You led an army to attack, intending to wipe out my tribe, do you think this matter can be left at that?"
Hearing this, many glanced subconsciously at the kneeling Huyue.
No wonder, the tone and attitude were eerily similar to Huyue.
The same laziness, the same nonchalance, even more so.
The Great Elder from the Dragon Clan couldn’t help but mutter, "Now I understand why the Fox Country’s young master was so unreliable before, turns out it’s a family trait!"
At this moment, facing the young fox tribe member’s question, the Nine-Headed Serpent’s face gradually darkened, coldly saying, "Oh? So you’re planning to have a go, huh?"
Though the Nine-Headed Serpent cautiously wanted to leave, it didn’t mean he was truly afraid. At least in response to these words, he showed no signs of backing down.
The young fox tribe member grinned widely, laughing brightly.
"You’re mistaken, I’m just planning to kill you, that’s all!"
