Chapter 60 - 58: The Revival of the Nine-tailed Fox

Chapter 60: Chapter 58: The Revival of the Nine-tailed Fox

The Investigators held Seimei Misawa’s head down. His eyes filled with humiliation as he struggled, with great difficulty, to lift his head. He gritted his teeth and glared daggers at Jiang Chaosheng.

"You... you just have more Divine Artifacts than me.

It was an unfair victory! You only won because of your Divine Artifacts!

Otherwise, you never could have beaten me!

What I possess is a thousand years of..."

"A thousand-year Yin Yang Master legacy, is that it?"

Jiang Chaosheng cut him off impatiently and asked,

"But do you know where that thousand-year legacy of yours came from?"

Seimei Misawa froze for a moment.

"Of course, it comes from our ancestor, Lord Abe no Seimei!"

Jiang Chaosheng looked at Seimei Misawa, his expression blank.

"Abe no Seimei was just an ordinary man. Where would he have gotten any Yin Yang Art?"

Seimei Misawa’s eyes flew wide, and he roared in fury,

"Lord Abe no Seimei was no ordinary man!

He possessed immense Divine Power! He subjugated a Fox Demon on the Magpie Bridge, sealed it within his body, and passed down its power!"

There were many legends about Abe no Seimei in East Sakura.

Some said Abe no Seimei was the son of a Fox Demon.

Others said he subjugated a Fox Demon on the Magpie Bridge and obtained its power.

The Seimei Family believed the latter to be the true version.

They did, in fact, have a Fox Demon inside them.

Seimei Misawa, in particular, was a firm believer.

This was because he had already managed to briefly communicate with the Fox Demon inside him.

Little did he know, this was a sign that the Nine-tailed Fox was about to reawaken.

Jiang Chaosheng landed on the ground and sauntered toward Seimei Misawa, saying casually,

"The Nine-tailed Fox, Daji, is a great ancient Demon from my Xia Kingdom. Your ancestor was merely a common Astronomer in the imperial court. Was he worthy of subjugating the Nine-tailed Fox?"

Jiang Chaosheng stood before Seimei Misawa, looking down at him and said indifferently,

"You go on and on about the heritage of the Yin Yang Masters, and you keep saying I only beat you because of my Divine Artifacts.

Heh, the Nine-tailed Fox in your belly is also part of the Xia Kingdom’s heritage. It’s just another Divine Artifact."

Seimei Misawa stared at Jiang Chaosheng in shock, his eyes filled with rage.

"How dare you insult my ancestor! How dare you insult my ancestor!

The Nine-tailed Fox in my body is Yumizakai, not some Daji!"

Jiang Chaosheng extended a hand toward Seimei Misawa.

"The Nine-tailed Fox is about to reawaken. She’ll suck you dry of your Yin Yang Qi.

If you don’t want to die, take out the Demon Core.

I’d rather not cut open your stomach. It’s disgusting."

Seimei Misawa began to struggle wildly.

"That’s impossible! You’re insulting my Yin Yang Master Family!

You’re a despicable coward with none of the grace of a victor!"

Was there anyone in the Seimei Family who didn’t regard the story of Abe no Seimei and the Nine-tailed Fox as their family’s glory?

It was the honor and faith that generations of Yin Yang Masters from the Seimei Family had sworn to protect.

But this man before him was saying that the Yin Yang Master Family had only managed to pass down its legacy for a thousand years because they had obtained a Divine Artifact—a Divine Artifact from the Xia Kingdom!

This was an assault on the Seimei Family’s faith!

It was an attempt to shatter the pride of the Yin Yang Master Family!

An Investigator angrily grabbed Seimei Misawa by his white hair.

"Stay still! Don’t make me put a bullet in your head!

Believe me, I really want to kill you and avenge Leader Liu!"

Seimei Misawa paused, then let out a miserable, desolate laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHA! I, Seimei Misawa, the greatest Yin Yang Master of this generation in East Sakura, am to be humiliated by a group of mortals?"

Seimei Misawa’s hair was a mess, and hatred began to well up in his eyes, so intense it seemed ready to spill out.

"In that case, none of us will live!"

His hair disheveled, Seimei Misawa suddenly bit through the tip of his tongue. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as a crazed smile spread across his face.

"I, your descendant Seimei Misawa, offer my lifeblood and Yin Qi as a sacrifice! I beseech you, Lady Nine-tailed Fox, to revive and protect the glory of the Seimei Family!"

Suddenly.

A blinding white light erupted from Seimei Misawa’s body!

A terrifying pressure descended in an instant!

Dark clouds blotted out the moon, and the sky turned black as ink.

A furious wind howled mournfully as a torrential downpour began, as if the heavens had sprung a leak.

The heavens themselves were weeping for the revival of a peerless great Demon.

The Investigators sensed something was wrong. They let go of Seimei Misawa and scrambled back.

They raised their weapons, watching Seimei Misawa warily—or rather, watching the white light enveloping him that was gradually taking on a human form.

Jiang Chaosheng narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky.

’This rain smells wrong. This isn’t the Jing River Dragon King’s doing.’

The Jing River Dragon King moved to Jiang Chaosheng’s side, stepping forward to shield him like a loyal guard.

His ancient dragon eyes were fixed on the white light around Seimei Misawa as if facing a formidable enemy. He spoke slowly,

"What a powerful great Demon!"

The Evil Crow flew onto Jiang Chaosheng’s shoulder and said gravely,

"That kid from East Sakura sacrificed his entire lifespan to the Nine-tailed Fox.

The Nine-tailed Fox has finally gathered enough lifespan—nine thousand, nine hundred years—and she’s about to revive.

This is bad. She actually triggered a ’Heaven’s Weep.’ I underestimated her.

I’m afraid the Old Dragon King is no match for her.

The three of us should attack together. Otherwise, we might not be able to take her down."

Jiang Chaosheng’s gaze flickered.

"Heaven’s Weep?"

The Evil Crow explained,

"The birth and death of sacred beings can trigger celestial phenomena.

This Nine-tailed Fox is likely more than just a simple Fox Demon."

As they spoke, the white light finished taking shape and then contracted...

A devastatingly beautiful woman appeared.

Her hair cascaded like a waterfall, her face was coldly stunning, and her figure was perfectly curvaceous.

Within her beautiful, soul-stealing eyes were a pair of blood-red, vertical pupils.

She wore a black inner garment embroidered with Ancient Qin Language, revealing the deep valley of her ample bosom.

Over it, she wore a white robe, its lapels etched with rows of Runes depicting Profound Mysteries.

She was so beautiful that not even the Succubus Jin Meiting could compare.

A Succubus’s Charm lies in her ability to manipulate a man’s hormones, to make him think with his lower head.

The Nine-tailed Fox’s beauty transcended the physical, originating from the soul itself. A single cold glance from her, and your very soul would be lost.

To say she could steal your soul was no exaggeration.

Meanwhile, Seimei Misawa’s body began to change.

His white hair became as withered as an old Ghost’s, wrinkles crept across his face, and his body shriveled as if his life essence had been wrung from him.

"OHOHOHO... Now you see her power! Now you see her power!"

Seimei Misawa lay on the ground, his eyes wide, laughing maniacally in an aged voice,

"You will witness the power of the Yin Yang Master Family’s Nine-tailed Fox! You will all die! The entire South Sea will be my funeral offering!"

Where was the handsome man from before?

He was nothing but a crazed old man.

"Prepare to engage!"

The Investigators aimed the sights of their guns at Daji.

Daji glanced back coldly.

Truly, a beauty’s glance can create a hundred charms, putting all other palace beauties to shame.

But the world only knew of the Nine-tailed Fox’s beauty, not her ferocity.

Her enchanting allure was merely one of her most inconspicuous traits.

With just a single look, the Investigators felt their throats tighten. They couldn’t breathe, and it felt as if their hearts were about to stop beating.

Daji turned her gaze forward again and glided gracefully toward Jiang Chaosheng.

The Evil Crow shrieked,

"She’s coming! She’s coming! Elder Dragon, what are you waiting for?! Go get her!"

Black water gushed from the Jing River Dragon King’s hair as his Spiritual Qi surged. The falling rain began to turn viscous.

"ROAR!"

A dragon’s roar echoed throughout South Sea City!

The Jing River Dragon King’s hands transformed into dragon claws as he charged toward the Nine-tailed Fox.

As he charged, the Jing River Dragon King’s body began to transform.

Dense dragon scales appeared on his face, and his two legs went soft like noodles, seemingly about to merge into a serpent’s tail.

Daji paid the Jing River Dragon King no mind. She casually pulled a Soul-Calming Talisman from her sleeve and nonchalantly slapped it onto his forehead.

The Jing River Dragon King’s transformation halted. He was frozen in place, stuck in his previous posture and expression.

The Evil Crow’s eyes went wide.

"Holy crap! A one-hit KO! I forgot this chick is a master of all the world’s subtle arts!

The Old Dragon King is a vengeful spirit, so he’s been completely suppressed by her Soul-Calming Talisman!"

The Crow took a deep breath, flapped its wings, and its gaze hardened with resolve.

"Even without my Hiding Device, I’m still the Evil Ancestor!"

The Crow flew toward Daji, but as it got closer and closer, its eyes began to dart about nervously.

’Even if I can’t beat you, I have to show Master my loyalty! I’ll risk it all!’

The Crow flew right up to Daji. She spared it a glance.

The Crow’s bravado instantly deflated. It chuckled obsequiously,

"Big Sis, on account of me being the Evil Ancestor, could you, you know, do me a favor and back off?"

Daji produced an Exorcism Talisman.

The Crow covered its head with its wings, fell to the ground, and wailed,

"I really can’t beat her!

Master, you’re immortal, you can’t be killed, but I can actually die!

Master, you won’t blame me, will you?!"

Seeing this scene, Seimei Misawa laughed until he was out of breath.

"Heheheh, kill them! Kill them all!"

Seimei Misawa’s eyes were locked on Jiang Chaosheng, eagerly anticipating his death.

The Investigators swallowed hard, the saliva thick in their throats.

’Even *he*... can’t beat this mysterious woman?’

Daji walked up to Jiang Chaosheng.

Jiang Chaosheng finally felt the oppressive aura of a nine-thousand-nine-hundred-year-old great Demon.

But due to his unusual mental state, he felt no fear. His mind raced, frantically searching for a countermeasure.

’My Gavel, the Great Celestial Dog Staff... they’re nothing compared to her.’

Daji leaned close to Jiang Chaosheng, sniffed the air, and gently placed a hand on his face.

It was very cold.

The smile on Seimei Misawa’s lips grew wider and more wanton.

’Smash his head! Go on, smash his head!’

Daji gently nestled into Jiang Chaosheng’s embrace.

"Husband, you’ve finally come to take me home."

...

PS: Daji becomes a very popular and important character later on. This isn’t just mindlessly collecting women for a harem, really, it’s not.
