This Human Immortal Is Too Serious-Chapter 499 - 497 The Heavenly Fox Will Never be Enslaved!

The Water God didn't understand why the Martial God and the Goddess of Fortune, who were supposed to be quite familiar with each other, started to find each other unpleasant upon meeting.

Clearly, the relationship between the two gods was decent, and when the other wasn't present, they spoke of each other in a calm tone.

Of course, there was no special affection between them, limited to the interactions of normal friends.

Take, for example, this moment.

The Martial God boastfully used Divine Arts to open a Cloud Mirror, which revealed the somewhat extravagant banquet of the Celestial Fox Tribe.

All of them were Innate Gods; what hadn't they seen before?

Even if the banquet was filled with seductive music and sights of flesh for sale everywhere, the three Innate Gods remained indifferent, their gaze solely on the young man.

Nothing was going on until the Goddess of Fortune commented, "There's still a branch of the Qingqiu Clan in the Martial God World? What, Martial God, you keep them for amusement?"

The Martial God became furious, slammed the table, and stood up, roaring, "You can insult my Martial Techniques, but you cannot insult my integrity! When have I ever done such a thing!"

The Water God, with two drops of cold sweat on his forehead, hurriedly asked, "Martial God, what's going on? Last time I saw him, he was just a boy from the countryside; how did it come to this in the blink of an eye?"

The Martial God raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly, speaking in a gentle voice, "This is a long story. I'll chat with you slowly about it."

The corners of the Goddess of Fortune's mouth twitched slightly, and she also began to observe this 'disciple of the Martial God'.

Wu Wang, clad in a black robe, sat with a smile at his place, continuously toasting and drinking with the Celestial Fox Tribe members who came to offer drinks. However, each time he sipped lightly, clearly not wishing to become drunk.

Next to Wu Wang, Meng Xianglin and Chun Luan were showing signs of drunkenness, but their Martial Arts cultivation was fairly good, so suppressing the drunkenness wasn't difficult.

The fox girl Lu'er, seeming like a personal maiden to Wu Wang, knelt beside his low table, topping up his drink and adding dishes, even trying several times to help wipe the Envoy's mouth.

Wu Wang, however, behaved very naturally, calmly enjoying the fox girl's service.

It wasn't the first time he was served by maidens.

At this moment, the sensation of being watched... returned...

To be precise, it intensified.

Had the Martial God gotten other Innate Gods to watch him?

What, wanting to see a risqué scene?

"Sir, your residence has been arranged," Lu'er said softly. "After the banquet, I will take you to your place."

Wu Wang replied, "There's no need for deliberate arrangements; a Martial Artist can cultivate anywhere. I am just waiting for you all to come to a decision."

The fox girl chuckled, "Sir, you may not mind, but we of the Celestial Fox Tribe cannot afford to be impolite."

"Very well."

Wu Wang shook his head slightly.

Beside him, Chun Luan looked at the fox girl with a bit of wariness.

As an experienced young General, she could see through the Celestial Fox Tribe's schemes at a glance.

However, what was unexpected to Chun Luan was that her little junior brother could stay so calm facing the beauty sent by the Celestial Fox Tribe, without a hint of embarrassment, his eyes always clear.

Chun Luan touched her conscience and admitted this fox girl, Lu'er, was indeed charming and amorous, yet also rare in her innocence and appeal, evoking feelings even in a woman like herself, let alone a man.

Meng Xianglin, for instance, although he tried to hide it, kept glancing towards the Celestial Fox Tribe's High Priest with the exaggerated figure.

Seeing this, Chun Luan silently removed him from the list of potential future husbands.

And she had felt a bit of goodwill towards him before.

"Junior brother," Chun Luan reminded, "later, the three of us should find a corner to meditate and wait."

"Hmm," Wu Wang nodded in response. "Senior sister, rest assured, I have my own measure."

「At the bottom of the sea, in the Temple of the Water God.」

The Martial God chattered on about the incident of Wu Wang returning the treasure, while the Water God nodded repeatedly, and the Goddess of Fortune whispered, "Playing hard to get," which almost made the Martial God roll up his sleeves and have a fight with her.

The Martial God said, "Qing Shan is just naturally naive, how can you think of him that way? He's still a child!"

The Goddess of Fortune snorted, "What does that show? A mighty Innate God, completely fooled by a creature."

"You understand nothing!"

The Martial God shook his head. "Anyway, don't cause trouble... Eh? Why does it seem like someone is revealing murderous intent? Did you curse them with misfortune?"

"Have you sensed me using Divine Power?"

The Goddess of Fortune looked at the Cloud Mirror with interest, lightly tapping her delicate finger forward. The mirror's scene changed, revealing a corner outside the great hall.

There, several figures slowly emerged, with calm expressions heading towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

They were all men, each with the handsome appearance of the Celestial Fox Tribe, but their gaze was quite cold. Upon reaching the gate, they immediately looked towards 'Qing Shan'.

The Goddess of Fortune displayed a faint smile and murmured, "Now this is interesting."

「Inside the great hall.」

Wu Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, looking up at the young Celestial Fox clansman leading the group. Their eyes met in mid-air, sparking a few arcs of electricity.

"Sir," the fox girl Lu'er suddenly said, "I will take you to your residence."

Wu Wang nonchalantly lifted his drink, smiling. "Your brother?"

The fox girl was stunned for a moment.

No one within the tribe had ever mentioned the existence of her elder brother, but Wu Wang seemed to have known about it for quite some time, having likely investigated the Celestial Fox Tribe thoroughly.

Seems like I've guessed correctly.

The young fox man strode quickly towards Wu Wang, and the originally harmonious atmosphere in the great hall changed instantly.

The High Priest and several Elders simultaneously got to their feet.

The High Priest scolded, "Tian Lan, this is not your place!"

"Mother, aren't you being a bit too partial? On such an occasion, to keep your only son isolated outside."

This man held his head high, gazing at the High Priest, the saber at his waist gleaming with a faint light as he proclaimed, "Hearing that the Envoy has arrived, I naturally want to come and learn a thing or two, to prove that our Celestial Fox Tribe's martial arts are not inferior to that of the Human race's Martial Artists!"

"Don't be ridiculous! Someone come!"

"Could it be that, Mother, you think the Celestial Fox Tribe is inherently inferior to the Human race?"

Hu Tianlan shouted angrily, "Having your youngest daughter, my little sister, humbly curry favor with a Martial Artist of the Human race who lacks a noble lineage! Is this really our Celestial Fox Tribe's way to survive?

"If we demean ourselves, who will still look at us with respect! Dignity can only be regained through martial force!"

In the great hall, the 'nobility' of the Celestial Fox Tribe were silent, most of their gazes falling on the High Priest.

The High Priest trembled with anger, but Hu Tianlan's words were like a knife, precisely stabbing into the soft belly of the Celestial Fox Tribe.

The voices of opposition within the Celestial Fox Tribe seemed to have come to life at this moment.

Suddenly, Wu Wang's voice floated over, neither light nor heavy, yet it seemed to carry a certain weight.

"So, the mastermind behind the attack on my border patrol team is this son of the High Priest, a Martial Artist of the Celestial Fox Tribe named Tian Lan?"

The High Priest hastened to say, "Sir, this matter..."

"So what if I did it?"

Hu Tianlan's lips bore a sneer. "Could it be that the Envoy thinks, here in our Celestial Fox Tribe's territory, you can still take on three hundred as you did in the arena of Liuli City?"

Wu Wang just gave him a look, his expression unchanged. He turned his gaze to the High Priest and asked, "What does the High Priest have to say?"

"Sir, his words are utter nonsense, we..."

BANG!

Meng Xianglin smashed the low table in front of him, his hands dripping with liquor. He stood up tall, exuding the might of the Martial Emperor Realm.

At this moment, a Celestial Fox Tribe Elder's eyes shone with a pink light, an authoritative spiritual presence suppressing Meng Xianglin's momentum.

"Hmph!"

Meng Xianglin flung his sleeves and transmitted a message to Wu Wang, "Escaping is the best option."

Wu Wang merely nodded with a smile, staring directly at the High Priest.

The High Priest's expression changed constantly, her face alternately bright and dark, as strong waves of Spiritual Power kept emerging around her.

Clearly, some Elders supported Hu Tianlan, but the majority of the Elders were in support of the High Priest.

The division within the Celestial Fox Tribe was even more apparent and severe than Wu Wang had imagined.

And the primary reason for such a divided opinion was actually due to the actions of the Shrine Institute beforehand—the current state of the Celestial Fox Tribe was mostly forced by the Shrine Institute of the Luili Realm.

Wu Wang, after all, had some conscience.

If his side was in the wrong, then he couldn't be too aggressive.

He stood up, turned to look at Hu Tianlan, his calm voice spreading throughout the entire great hall. "Son of the High Priest, I have only three things to tell you.

"First, I have come here by the command of the Liuli god to solve the difficulties of the Celestial Fox Tribe, not to target you.

"Second, surrounding your Celestial Fox Tribe territory now, there are more than two hundred thousand well-equipped troops, thirty-plus commanders, and more than ten high-level Martial Emperors secretly dispatched by the Shrine Institute, possessing enough strength to obliterate this branch of the Celestial Fox Tribe.

"We only need to use a single devastating stratagem—besiege without attacking, set fire to the forest—and this place will quickly change from a paradise into scorched earth.

"Third, I am not threatening you, but rather stating the contingency plans that the Shrine Institute had already prepared before I took over this matter."

The faces of everyone from the Celestial Fox Tribe changed drastically.

On the side, Lu'er frantically prostrated herself, pleading, "Please calm your anger, Envoy! My brother is just… just a bit willful."

"Stand up, Miss Lu'er. Doing this will only incite greater rage in your brother."

Wu Wang rolled up his sleeves, walked past Lu'er, glanced down at the enticing smooth back beneath her gauzy, light skirt, his gaze then falling on the somewhat twisted, handsome face of Hu Tianlan.

Chun Luan and Meng Xianglin advanced together, warily watching every corner.

Wu Wang said, "The Celestial Fox Tribe now faces only two paths. One is for me to mediate, handing over the culprit behind the ambush of the patrol team, which is this Young Master Tian Lan.

"To do wrong is to pay a price; that is a common human sentiment.

"The second path is to completely sever ties with the Luili Realm now and act against me."

With his back towards the High Priest, Wu Wang stood in the center of the great hall, facing Hu Tianlan directly.

"I have limited patience. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to consider."

"There's no need to consider it!"

Hu Tianlan took a deep breath, his nostrils flaring slightly as his right hand grasped the hilt of the curved blade at his waist.

Many figures around them hastily retreated.

"Mother!" Hu Tianlan shouted angrily. "The Human race covets our land, covets the beautiful young girls of our tribe! They have never had any respect for us!

"If the Celestial Fox Tribe submits today, tomorrow will be—!"

"You shut up!"

The High Priest suddenly let out a loud shout, "What can you do other than cause trouble!"

Hu Tianlan coldly said, "Mother, what do you mean by this?"

WHOOSH!

The High Priest's figure suddenly appeared in front of Hu Tianlan, raised her palm, and slapped it across Hu Tianlan's face, causing him to stagger.

The High Priest shouted angrily, "I should have never had a son like you! Guards! Take him away for the Divine Envoy to deal with!"

Immediately, guards rushed forward, but several protectors stepped in first to shield Hu Tianlan, warily looking around.

"HAHAHA!"

Within the circle of his protectors, Hu Tianlan threw back his head and laughed loudly, his eyes slightly reddened, already showing a resolute determination.

"I knew it! I knew it! Mother, you only know how to give in! Today ten miles, tomorrow a hundred! Today you use Lu'er as a bargaining chip, and tomorrow countless nobles will come to plunder the women of our Celestial Fox Tribe!

"The Celestial Fox Tribe will never be slaves!

"Attack!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Pink smoke suddenly exploded in the corners of the great hall, and the Elders' faces of the Celestial Fox Tribe changed drastically, with some Elders even kicking over the low tables in front of them.

The High Priest's face clearly turned pale, her ample bosom heaving, and upon seeing the pink smoke, she knew what her son had done.

The peculiar poison of the Heavenly Fox!

This poison had no name; its method of concoction involved using the body fragrance of the virgin girls of the Heavenly Fox Tribe.

The surrounding smoke was only the trigger; the real poison, mixed into the wine and water, was colorless and tasteless. By the time they saw the smoke, they no longer had the chance to react.

CLANG.

Some Elders could not hold their posture, collapsing onto their seats.

Most of the Elders and generals around fell to the ground, weakened.

Chun Luan showed a furious expression, about to charge forward with her spear when her feet faltered, and she collapsed directly to the ground. Meng Xianglin quickly reached out to help her, and although he was drenched in sweat, he was still resisting the toxin in his body.

The High Priest turned to look at the corner.

The Elder responsible for today's grand banquet was... was...

"High Priest," an old woman slowly stood up, "we might as well break out of this forest and seek refuge with other Celestial Fox Tribe clans. The Luili Realm is pressing hard; this place is no longer safe for us."

"Sister?"

The High Priest called out tremblingly, suddenly clutching her chest as she spat out blood. As she raised her palm to gather Spiritual Power, the glow barely sparked to life in the center of her hand before she collapsed forward, powerless.

"Elder brother?"

The voice of Lu'er came through, slightly trembling and also tinged with fear.

"What are you going to do?"

"No one can take you away from my side," Hu Tianlan said coldly. "We will break out tonight. I have already prepared the elite of our tribe, and later I will leave with Mother, you, and all our brothers and sisters."

"What about our tribespeople?"

Lu'er asked with a trembling voice, "Are the tribespeople staying here? Can't everyone leave together?"

Hu Tianlan's expression darkened, but he quickly regained his composure and said indifferently, "There's no need to worry about the tribespeople. As long as our group breaks out and reaches our true ancient nation, we can put pressure on the Luili Realm. This, in turn, can protect our tribespeople.

"At that time, we will come back to take our tribespeople away."

"But, won't the tribespeople be slaughtered? If we anger the Divine Spirits, can we really survive? Elder brother, you said let the elites escape, then... what about the old and the children, are they to fend for themselves?"

Lu'er said with a trembling voice, "We have other solutions, don't we?"

"Lu'er! Do you want me to die?" Hu Tianlan's eyes held a trace of anger.

Lu'er tightly pursed her lips, slowly rose from her kneeling position, and said in a low voice, "Elder brother, I'm the only one who can stop you now. This peculiar poison is concocted with the body fragrance of virgin girls from the Celestial Fox Tribe, therefore it's powerless against virgins. I cannot let you betray our tribespeople."

She slowly raised her head, her small face resolute, eyes ablaze with fire, as small pink orbs began to orbit around her.

"Envoy, you... um, you didn't fall?"

Wu Wang, who had been quietly observing the entire scene, suddenly became the center of attention once more.

Wu Wang shrugged and smiled. "It's probably because I had some random berries earlier. I'm feeling quite alright now."

"Envoy, your two guards have already lost their fighting strength," Hu Tianlan coldly said. "Do you still think you can fight your way out of here by yourself? Kneel down and beg for mercy, and perhaps I will spare your life."

Wu Wang remained silent, as if pondering something.

「At the bottom of the sea, in the Temple of the Water God.」

The Martial God was grinding his teeth, cursing this wily little fox cub.

The Goddess of Fortune, on the other hand, laughed and said, "This Lu'er isn't too bad, at least she cares for her own people. That Tian Lan fellow is too selfish. If he ends up killing your disciple, I will definitely curse him with extreme misfortune."

"Humph! Would Qing Shan be afraid of him?"

The Goddess of Fortune retorted, "Isn't this Qing Shan only in the Martial Soul Realm? How would he fight?"

At this moment, as shown in the Cloud Mirror, Wu Wang raised his hand and touched the thumb ring on his thumb.

The Goddess of Fortune's brow furrowed slightly and her gaze was drawn to the ring, her expression somewhat astonished. She looked up at the Martial God.

"You actually gave this away?"

The Martial God revealed a faint smile. "Qing Shan is worth it."

The Goddess of Fortune's gaze towards Wu Wang couldn't help but contain a bit more curiosity.

The Water God spoke tenderly, "From here on, it's up to Qing Shan to decide."

"Should I bless him with some fortune to turn disaster into luck?" the Goddess of Fortune asked seriously.

"No need!"

The Martial God waved his hand grandly. "My disciple will have no problems."

The Water God muttered, "But he hasn't taken you as his master yet, right? We tried several times last time, but he refused every one, didn't he?"

"Refused?"

The Goddess of Fortune tilted her head slightly, a strand of silver-white hair quietly sliding from her forehead. Then she couldn't help but turn her head and cover her mouth, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

The Martial God was about to say something to save face when Wu Wang's voice came through the Cloud Mirror, prompting the Martial God to abandon the attempt and eagerly continue watching.

Actually feeling somewhat nervous.

「In the underground central hall of the Celestial Fox Tribe's territory.」

Wu Wang was now surrounded by several Elders of the Celestial Fox Tribe and Hu Tianlan, with hundreds of Celestial Fox Tribe guards looming in the periphery.

In the dark corner, Wu Wang had already seen the cold arrowheads.

Chun Luan felt so drained that speaking was difficult. She could only gaze at Wu Wang with worried eyes.

Meng Xianglin looked anxious, but even now could not use his Martial Techniques, focusing only on suppressing the poison within his body.

"If I remember correctly, Envoy, you were at the Martial Soul Realm during the grand examination in Liuli City."

Hu Tianlan sneered, "A mere Martial Soul Realm, you are destined not to escape today's predicament. Do you really not kneel down and beg for mercy?"

"I was about to ask you the same question," Wu Wang said indifferently. "Do you really not kneel down and beg for mercy? Maybe I can spare your Celestial Fox Tribe for the decent performance of your sister just now."

"Insolence!"

Hu Tianlan shouted angrily. The guards beside him were ready to step forward.

These few guards were indeed strong, each with a middle-aged appearance, perhaps having lived for hundreds of years. The aura they emitted was on par with those in the Martial Spirit Realm.

But just as they were about to charge, they instinctively stopped in their tracks.

All because Wu Wang, like magic, had a silver-white long spear in his hand.

"Did you truly think I would dare to come here without anything to rely on? For those who wish to flee from the Martial God World as traitors, it's worth using these treasures."

Wu Wang held the Flying Cloud Spear in his right hand and lightly swung it. An aura sliced through the air, and the dome of the great hall suddenly cracked open.

"Won't you beg for mercy?" Wu Wang asked.

Hu Tianlan's expression fluctuated between dark and uncertain, his eyes greedily fixed on the long spear in Wu Wang's hand.

A Divine Weapon!

The Liuli god actually entrusted such a Divine Weapon to a Martial Artist in the Martial Soul Realm—what an enormous advantage...

CRACK! CRACKLE!

A rich silver light erupted around Wu Wang, and pieces of armor swiftly enveloped him.

A heavy oppressive force slowly spread from around Wu Wang.

At that moment, to the members of the Celestial Fox Tribe, the young Envoy appeared to be a Heavenly God descended to earth, holding a silver-white long spear, wearing silver Battle Armor, and slowly lifting off the ground, looking down upon the world.

HUM!

The spear pointed towards Hu Tianlan.

"Then you've lost your chance."
