“Little li, where is your sacred ground? Hurry up and bring us there!” Leng ruoxue looked at the sky and urged.
“Little tanuki?” Hearing Leng ruoxue’s form of address, the little white beast was taken aback. It thought to itself,”who is this little girl calling?”
“It’s you. ” Leng ruoxue looked at the little white beast’s dazed expression and knew that it had yet to react.
“I’m not called little tanuki. ” The little white beast sighed helplessly. It seemed that this little girl was a lazy person! She didn’t even ask for its name and just called it little tanuki.
“Oh!” Leng ruoxue gave a light reply and did not continue.
The little white beast, who had been waiting for Leng ruoxue to ask for its name, saw that she did not continue to ask as it had expected. It then asked in confusion,””Why didn’t you ask for my name?”
This little girl’s reaction was really too different. It seemed that it was not easy to guess her thoughts! Sob … Why did the heavens send such a difficult little girl to solve the problem of their clan? This little girl was clearly not someone who knew her place. At this moment, the little white beast made an important conclusion to Leng ruoxue.
“The name is not important. If you want to tell us, we will ask you even if we don ‘t. If you don’t want to tell us, it’s useless for us to ask.” Leng ruoxue said in a tongue-twister-like manner.
“Uh! I’m Mo Li. ” The little white beast introduced itself.
“Mo Li? You’re Clearly White. Why are you called Mo Li? It’s so strange. ” Before Leng ruoxue could say anything about Mo Li’s name, Yue Qing asked curiously.
“Uh! My name doesn’t seem to have anything to do with my color. Our leopard cat race doesn’t name ourselves according to color. ” After hearing the moon eye’s words, the little white beast’s forehead was filled with black lines, and it couldn’t help but secretly sigh in its heart. When did soul-gnawing beasts become so stupid? It really didn’t dare to imagine how the soul-gnawing beast clan had managed to survive until now. Could it be said that they were just too lucky?
“Oh! Little black! Hurry up and bring us to your race’s Holy Land!” After hearing Mo Li’s explanation, Yue Qing urged him with embarrassment.
The little white beast, Mo Li, let out a sigh. He was completely depressed. He had already said that his name was Mo Li. Did he still need to emphasize that his name was not little black? He didn’t know if this soul-gnawing beast was really stupid or was deliberately toying with him. It was really infuriating! However, it was the little girl who needed its help now, so it naturally couldn’t get angry at them over such a small matter. So, after thinking about it, it held back.
......However, it still couldn’t help but remind him,””Please call me Mo Li, not Blackie.” Although the meaning of black and ink was similar, black was black, and ink was ink. They definitely could not be mixed together! Mo Li insisted on this.
“Alright! Li! Hurry up and bring us there!” Yue Qing said disapprovingly. Since this little beast was not satisfied with little black, then she would just change the way she addressed it. It was not a big deal.
“Let’s go!” Mo Li sighed and decided not to argue about the name anymore. Otherwise, it would be so angry that its soul would fly out of its body.
Following that, the white light enveloped Leng ruoxue and the rest. They were teleported to the gate of the Holy Land that Mo Li had mentioned.
The so-called Holy Land was actually an unusually large and gorgeous Palace. The top of the palace reached into the clouds, and it was impossible to see the end. One could only imagine how large the palace was.
“Go in! There’s a lot of space inside, and there are many passages. You must follow me closely and don’t run around! Otherwise, if you end up trapped here, I won’t be able to save you. ” Mo Li reminded. This Palace was the crystallization of the Fox clan’s wisdom. It was full of traps and mechanisms. Since no one had been in control of the palace for many years, it was similar to an ownerless Palace. However, this ownerless Palace would automatically set up defenses, especially when it sensed an aura that did not belong to the Fox clan. Therefore, it was impossible for any outsider to leave the palace alive unless they were led by a member of the Fox clan.
“Which path leads to the sacred land’s core?” Leng ruoxue asked as she looked at the numerous paths in front of her, which were covered with top-grade black crystals and were so bright that they could reflect a person’s image.
“Hahaha! Xue ‘er, don’t worry! None of these paths were! Follow me,” Mo Li pushed open the door of the room closest to them and walked in.
Leng ruoxue and the rest followed him in, only to realize that the room was completely empty. There was nothing at all.
Mo Li smiled mysteriously when he saw the confused expressions on Leng ruoxue and the others ‘faces. Then, he raised his little paw and a white light covered Leng ruoxue and the others again. Then, he brought them through the wall.
She could only watch as she passed through wall after wall. The walls were all made of crystals, so one could imagine how hard they were. Furthermore, she had never experienced such an experience before. Leng ruoxue felt extremely strange, and she did not know what kind of feeling lingered in her heart.
However, she was now certain that these legendary beasts like the fox didn’t like to walk the ordinary path, and the paths they saw just now were probably just a smokescreen. Who asked them to have such a heaven-defying skill? This was a talent that could not be envied.
They didn’t know how many walls Mo Li had brought them through. When Leng ruoxue and the others felt a little dizzy, they finally arrived at their destination.
The so-called core of the Holy Land was actually the center of the entire Palace, and just by standing outside the door of the core, they could feel the dense spiritual energy emitted from inside.
“Xue ‘er, this is the place.” The ancestor who built this Holy Land was one of the oldest and most famous ancestors of the Fox Tribe. In the eyes of the Fox Tribe, the ancestor’s wisdom was definitely above that of humans. Otherwise, this Holy Land would not have been built so beautifully. It must be known that such a Palace was unique even among the beast tribe.
“Can we go in?” Leng ruoxue asked for Mo Li’s opinion.
“Yes.” Mo Li nodded, but his little body kept trembling. Obviously, he was a little nervous. After all, he hadn’t come back for a long time. He was like a child who hadn’t come home for a long time and was afraid of his home!
With Mo Li’s permission, Leng ruoxue pushed open the heavy door with her slender hands. Then, a strong spiritual Qi gushed out.
Leng ruoxue and the rest walked in and looked at the place that was known as the core of the Holy Land. How should he put it? This was considered a room, but it was not completely a room because the area of this room was too large. Many open spaces were planted with all kinds of flowers. If she didn’t know that this was the Holy Land of the Fox race, she would definitely think that this was the residence of some senior.
The room was completely open and there were no windows. Sitting in the inner room, one could see the scenery outside. There were a few praying mats placed in the middle of the room. A small table was placed in the middle of the praying mats. When Leng ruoxue saw this, she guessed that this was the place where the clan leader or elder of the leopard cat clan discussed matters.
However, it was obvious that the souls of the members of the Fox clan that Mo Li had mentioned were not here.
“Mo Li, where are the souls of your people?” Leng ruoxue could not help but ask.
“You guys follow me, be careful!” Mo Li, who was reminiscing about his family’s elders, came back to his senses and said.
Following that, it brought Leng ruoxue and the rest to the garden.
In an unremarkable corner of the garden, there was a translucent wall. Through the wall, Leng ruoxue and the others could clearly see countless translucent souls like Mo Li floating there. However, some of the souls had gradually turned gray. When those souls turned completely black, they would become real vengeful spirits. By then, even the wall would not be able to stop them.
“This wall contains the souls of our ancestors. Therefore, it can prevent these souls from breaking through the wall. However, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the deterrence of the souls of our ancestors has become weaker and weaker. It won’t be long before they cross the wall and wander around the entire divine world. It will be a disaster for the divine world!” Mo Li said with concern.
“Since their souls haven’t been destroyed, why didn’t they reincarnate?” Leng ruoxue asked in confusion. From what she knew, other than reverent-god level cultivators, it seemed that anyone below the God King level could be reincarnated as long as their soul did not dissipate. The reason why these souls existed was proof that their souls were intact. At least, they did not look like they had any problems on the surface. If that was the case, why were they trapped here? She could not figure it out.
“They’re all cursed and can’t be reincarnated. ” Mo Li said with some difficulty. The cursed clansmen were sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused. Once they were not clear-headed, they would attack each other’s souls. As time went by, the clansmen who were always defeated would become more and more resentful. Therefore, they would gradually turn into resentful spirits. Once one Clansman turned into a resentful spirit, it would devour the other clansmen. It could definitely devour one or more vengeful spirit Kings, and even give birth to a vengeful spirit Emperor! To the divine realm, that would definitely be a great catastrophe of destruction!
“Why are you fine?” Leng ruoxue looked at Mo Li and asked curiously. According to the records, although the soul could retain its consciousness, it would not be as clear as Mo Li ‘s. The soul and the divine consciousness were different. The soul was very fragile and could only remember a limited number of things. However, the divine consciousness could remember everything about its master, including the tasks that its master had assigned to it. Therefore, before Mo Li showed up, she had thought that it was someone’s divine consciousness that was talking to them. It had never crossed her mind that it was someone’s divine consciousness. The one who wanted them to complete the mission was actually a soul.
“In order to keep my mind clear at all times, the clan leader sacrificed himself. Otherwise, I would be no different from the soul locked up here.” Mo Yan lowered his head and said with tears in his fiery red eyes.
The disaster tens of thousands of years ago had caused many of the members of the leopard cat clan to die or be injured. Even after their deaths, the clansmen could not rest in peace and could not be reincarnated. However, the powerful ancestors of the clan might not have died if they had not sacrificed themselves for the sake of their clansmen. Unfortunately, even if they had sacrificed themselves, they could not save these cursed clansmen. The only person who could save the members of the leopard cat clan was this beautiful human girl in front of them …
