"Sky Fox Inheritance... you... you... my lord, you... you’re a Pureblood Sky Fox." Several Half-Beast guards turned pale with fright.

To carry the Sky Fox Inheritance and have an aura comparable to a Beast King—she could only be a Pureblood Sky Fox.

Cangdu Moon Spring Town, though a Vassal Country of the Sky Fox Tribe Country, was not part of the core prefectures of the Sky Fox Tribe; even the Town Mayor here was only a Heavenly Fox Mixed Blood.

This lord who looked so inconspicuous actually turned out to be a Pureblood Sky Fox.

They had been blind fools and offended a Lord Sky Fox.

Yun Sheng had no idea that the Eight Desolate Beast Clan had always valued bloodlines above all. So even though they had occupied the Bahuang Continent for many years, there actually weren’t that many true purebloods and Half-Beasts who carried Beast Blood.

These guards had seen Yun Sheng’s ordinary looks earlier, and her strength didn’t seem impressive. Most importantly, Moon-shaped Spring Town was a very remote little town; those young masters and ladies of the Sky Fox Nobles would never normally show up here.

"My lord, please, we beg you to spare us. We were blind and ignorant," the guards were so scared they threw down their Weapons and all knelt, begging for mercy.

"Still not getting out of the way? I have important business in town. If you delay me, your end will be the same as these blades." Yun Sheng snorted twice, and with a sudden burst of force from her hair, she twisted the sabers into several twisted balls of scrap iron and tossed them to the ground.

Seeing that, the Half-Beast guards no longer dared question Yun Sheng’s identity at all. They hurriedly bowed and scraped, apologizing over and over as they watched Yun Sheng enter the town.

Not until Yun Sheng had entered the town did those Half-Beast guards, scared half to death, finally come back to their senses.

"Tch, a Lord Sky Fox personally gracing us—this has to be reported to the Town Mayor."

Compared to a Half-Beast Sky Fox, the status of a Pureblood Sky Fox was like cloud and mud. Thinking of this, the guards hurried to report to the Town Mayor of Crescent Spring Town.

In a luxurious official residence on the far eastern side of Crescent Spring Town, music and dance filled the air. Half-Beast women in revealing clothes were dancing gracefully.

A Half-Beast man in gorgeous robes was lounging lazily on an ornate couch, a slender Cat Clan Half-Beast woman in his arms.

The Half-Beast man looked to be just over thirty, with a wickedly handsome face. A pair of fiery red fox ears jutted from his head, and behind him swayed a bunch of fluffy fox tails—he was a Sky Fox Half-Beast.

Though he was a Half-Beast, his physique was different from that of an ordinary Sky Fox.

Most people of the Sky Fox Clan were tall and slender, but this Sky Fox before them had a broad, imposing build.

On his forehead was a tiger-striped "王" character.

This was the Town Mayor of Crescent Spring Town, Hu Yixue.

Speaking of Hu Yixue, in the region of Cangdu he was somewhat famous—not only because he was the Town Mayor of Crescent Spring Town, but also because, among Half-Beasts, he was a very rare Witch Beast Master.

The so-called Witch Beast Masters were what the Beast Clan of the Bahuang Continent called Summoners.

Hu Yixue’s father was a Pureblood Sky Fox, while his mother was a woman of the Lightning Tiger Clan. So Hu Yixue was a Fox Tiger Beastman, and his strength was somewhat greater than that of ordinary Sky Fox Half-Beasts.

Relying on his father’s connections, Hu Yixue had been assigned to Crescent Spring Town to serve as Town Mayor.

Though Crescent Spring Town was remote, it had one big advantage: the sky was high and the Emperor far away. Pureblood Sky Foxes were rarely seen, so Hu Yixue had become the local tyrant of this area.

Any beauties, any gold, silver, and jewels, any Divine weapon—all of it ended up in Hu Yixue’s hands.

Hu Yixue’s influence firmly controlled every profitable industry in Crescent Spring Town.

Recently, Hu Yixue had just taken this seductive Cat Clan Half-Beast woman into his arms, and spent his days indulging in the land of beauty, not stepping outside his residence and knowing nothing of what happened beyond.

"Town Mayor, bad news, the Tribe... someone from the Tribe has come," a guard stumbled in at last, his face full of terror.

"Who’s here?" Hu Yixue’s fox eyes narrowed at once.

"Town Mayor, just now a Lord Sky Fox arrived at the town gate. She has just entered town, and we don’t know where she’s gone now." The Half-Beast guard recounted the earlier conflict between the Lord Sky Fox and the guards.

"Nonsense. If a Lord Sky Fox had come, how could there be no prior notice? She must be a fake." Hu Yixue had after all stayed in the Sky Fox Tribe and knew something of the Sky Foxes’ temper.

Although the Sky Foxes were a Lower Beast Clan within the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, within the Sky Fox Tribe Country, those Pureblood members of the Sky Fox Clan were utterly arrogant and extravagant.

Never mind a backwater like Crescent Spring Town—normally, they wouldn’t even deign to come here.

Even if they did come and were offended by guards, they would definitely just kill those guards on the spot. How could they possibly allow them to live till now?

All in all, that so-called Lord Sky Fox had to be a fake. Only these brainless guards would fall for such a trick.

If a real Sky Fox had come, it would absolutely be announced with great fanfare in advance, and Hu Yixue would be required to go out to greet them.

"But, that Lord Sky Fox used the Sky Fox Inheritance. Your subordinate and all the townsfolk saw it," the guard was still unyielding and presented a shredded saber before Hu Yixue.

Heavenly Fox Binding?

Heavenly Fox Binding—he had indeed heard of it. That was the true Sky Fox Inheritance.

Hearing this, Hu Yixue shoved the cat-girl in his arms aside, took the blade, and inspected it carefully.

The blade had already been twisted into a ball of scrap iron. From its shape, it was not something ordinary Mana or fighting spirit could have produced.

Moreover, even among Pureblood Heavenly Foxes, not everyone could possess the Sky Fox Inheritance.

Heaven knew, among Purebred Heavenly Foxes, only one in ten could awaken the Sky Fox Inheritance.

Only Sky Fox Nobles with superior talent among the Pureblood Sky Foxes would be sent into the Beast God Altar to undergo the baptism and awaken their Inheritance.

Any Purebred Heavenly Fox who awakened the Sky Fox Inheritance was one of the most core noble members of the Sky Fox Tribe.

Hu Yixue stared at the blade, his heart full of doubts.

Could it be that the other party really was a Pureblood Sky Fox?

But why would a Pureblood Sky Fox suddenly come to Crescent Spring Town? Could it be that someone in the Sky Fox Tribe had begun to suspect him?

"Regardless of whether she’s real or fake, keep a close watch on that woman’s every move for the next few days," Hu Yixue weighed the pros and cons and decided to first send people to the Sky Fox Tribe to make inquiries.

Once he confirmed her identity, he would then decide what she had come to Crescent Spring Town for.

If there was the slightest sign that the woman had anything to do with his plan, then even if she was a Sky Fox, he would kill her all the same.

After Hu Yixue gave his order, the residence immediately dispatched several skilled spies, who slipped into the town to search for Yun Sheng’s whereabouts.
