Yu Lin struggled, dodging left and right and using various methods, but she was unable to stabilize herself in the chaotic environment.

Unwilling to fall behind, Yu Lin flicked her finger and shot out a drop of blood.

Using that drop, she drew a mysterious blood talisman in midair.

As soon as the talisman covered her body, the spiritual energy around her rapidly condensed, forming a pair of three meter long crimson wings on her back.

With each few flaps of those wings, her body could stabilize for a brief moment.

Everyone present either had help or their own methods to cope.

Only Young’er had the lowest cultivation.

Xiao Shou had not taught him much and he was still so young.

If this continued, he might...

As Xiao Shou hurried forward anxiously, he kept sensing Fu Young’s condition.

But in the next instant, what he perceived left him completely stunned.

Fu Young who had been tossed around violently moments ago had originally drifted along expressionlessly.

Then, for some reason, panic appeared on his face.

The thick spiritual energy around his body surged and suddenly everything within a hundred meter radius around him froze in place suspended in midair.

Only Fu Young himself remained, spinning anxiously in circles.

He muttered nonstop, "This is bad. I can sense Master’s aura. Will Master come over? If he sees me like this, will he think I am some great demon? Will he hate me and abandon me? Will he cleanse the sect and kill me? I do not want that. Being killed by the master I like the most would be too tragic."

"You foolish disciple. This blood energy is a sign of your bloodline evolving. What great demon are you talking about?"

Xiao Shou felt that his earlier worry had been completely unnecessary.

He had almost forgotten just how abnormal Fu Young’s spiritual roots and cultivation technique were.

At the Golden Core stage, he could already form a magnetic spiritual root that controlled gravity.

Now his cultivation had actually reached the Nascent Soul stage and who knew how many cycles he had gone through.

Just by looking at the color and density of the blood like spiritual energy around him, one could imagine how much evolution energy he had absorbed.

Yet even after absorbing so much, his bloodline divine ability had still not awakened.

Just how powerful was his bloodline?

Thinking that he had been worried about Fu Young’s safety made Xiao Shou feel a bit foolish.

Even so, he could not help but send a message through his divine sense.

He sensed Fu Young’s reaction.

At first, upon hearing his voice, the boy looked as if he wanted to crawl into a hole out of embarrassment.

But after listening, his expression immediately brightened into an extremely radiant smile.

He then stared greedily at the massive heart within the restriction ahead, his ambition completely undisguised.

Xiao Shou felt a headache coming on and sent another message, "Wipe your drool. It is embarrassing."

"Master!"

Fu Young’s eyes sparkled.

He actually raised his sleeve to wipe his mouth before replying through divine sense, "So I did not turn into a great demon? But I killed so many people who looked like you, Master. Every time I killed one, my heart hurt so much. It feels like my heart has been shattered into pieces and cannot be put back together."

Has something gone wrong with Young’er?

How can he say such cheesy things so naturally?

Sweet talk like that should not be said to his master.

He should save it for a future partner.

Xiao Shou replied in an exaggerated tone through divine sense, "I also killed many people who looked like my foolish disciple, and it felt extremely satisfying. I usually have to hold back and cannot bear to discipline you properly, but this time I did not need to restrain myself."

"Master! I feel like my heart has been put back together."

Fu Young grinned as he sent the reply.

His gaze then turned deep and abyssal as he looked at the people outside the range of his magnetic spiritual power as well as the massive heart.

At that moment, Xiao Shou sensed through his divine perception that several more figures were approaching rapidly.

Three white three tailed fox manifestations about six meters in size arrived, along with one muddy pale black three tailed Terrestrial Fox manifestation around five meters tall.

The aura of that one felt impure and unpleasant.

Each manifestation contained two figures.

So the Fox Clan trained in pairs.

Good.

Now everyone had arrived and gathered around the restriction.

Xiao Shou controlled the massive fox manifestation and carefully observed the situation around the barrier.

The four fox manifestations stopped and, after a brief silence, they dispersed their spiritual energy and revealing eight individuals.

Six of them had silver hair and silver eyes.

Regardless of gender, they looked quite similar at first glance.

But upon closer inspection, the subtle differences in their features made each of them distinct.

The remaining two had black hair and black eyes and brown hair with brown eyes respectively.

The black haired one seemed normal.

But the brown haired one carried an aura that made others feel instinctively uncomfortable.

Overall, just as described in the original story, every member of the Fox Clan was strikingly beautiful.

"Who are you people? How dare you trespass into the sacred grounds of the Fox Clan, trigger the restriction, and disturb the Hell Flame Beast? You deserve death."

Among the eight, a silver haired woman who looked to be about twenty stepped forward and demanded harshly.

Yu Lin flapped her wings lightly in midair while putting on an innocent and pitiful expression as she said, "Fellow Daoists of the Fox Clan, we truly apologize. This Junior Sister Xiao is the most favored by our master. She saw that she could not compete with that fellow over there and acted out of anger, attacking the restriction. Please forgive her."

Xiao Ran understood very well that Yu Lin loved to use underhanded methods, the kind often seen in inner court scheming.
