CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 270: SEEKING MARRIAGE WITH FOX RUOSHUI

Ling Tian Sword Master’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Shi Nian, as he grabbed hold of his disciple, his face streaming with snot and tears, "Little Nian, your Master’s wife is about to be bullied."

Ling Tian Sword Master was truly in a hurry.

The reason why the hidden Demon Clan could avoid conflicts was that they concealed themselves in an otherworld, with dimensional barriers hiding their tracks, thus allowing them to live in seclusion.

Now, the ten Supreme Strong of the Royal Demon Clans, joining forces to assault the barrier, its breach was only a matter of time!

The Nine-tailed Fox Clan, indifferent to fame and fortune, yet incredibly proud, if pushed to emerge, conflict was inevitable.

"Master, let’s go have a look," Shi Nian created a layer of faint demonic power fluctuations around them, and then, had the baldy teleport them near the barrier.

Just stepping into the core of the Demon Realm, the commotion was even greater.

Looking up, lightning flashed one moment, and fierce winds blew the next, as if it were the end of the world.

Shi Nian cast a concealment magic on the two of them, to prevent the Demon Clan from discovering them.

Ling Tian Sword Master hurriedly looked over.

Those Supreme Strong of the ten Royal Clans were attacking frantically.

"The barrier is about to break," Hu Yang said sternly, "Focus energy, for the final blow!"

Terrible demonic power surged wildly, and in the next moment, all energy assaulted the barrier.

The barrier burst forth like ripples in the water, dispersing to both sides.

Barrier.

Broken!

Ling Tian Sword Master’s body began to tremble.

He couldn’t help but look towards the inside of the barrier.

Ruoshui, is Ruoshui in there?

As the Demon Clan was about to break through the barrier, amid his worry and fear, there was that little bit of anticipation.

Could it be that he would get to see his Ruoshui?

They had not seen each other for so very long.

Once upon a time.

They both carried too heavy burdens, and Ling Tian Sword Master did not dare to hope for too much.

But now things were different.

He had a good disciple, and all their previous obstacles would be resolved, one by one.

This time, he and Ruoshui, could openly be together.

Ruoshui, are you here?

The barrier dispersed bit by bit.

The space of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan was being forced to appear.

The Nine-tailed Fox Clan, with not more than two hundred in number, lived in a small village.

The village was tranquil with curling smoke, where untransformed young foxes were scurrying about.

Their mothers helplessly followed behind, advising them about something.

Their fathers were busy in the fields, casting gentle glances at their wives and children not far away.

But in just an instant.

This peaceful and harmonious village ceased to exist.

The adult Nine-tailed Foxes immediately embraced their children, their eyes filled with vigilance.

They looked at the suddenly shattered barrier and the many Demon Clan surrounding them, their expressions involuntarily tense.

Having lived in seclusion for ten thousand years, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan never sought conflict, content with their simple lives.

With the situation at hand, it was clear that nothing good was afoot.

Hu Yang took a step forward, smiling as he said, "Greetings everyone. I am Hu Yang, Clan Leader of the Overlord Tiger Clan."

No Nine-tailed Fox responded, becoming even more vigilant.

Even the children instinctively bristled the fur on their tails.

Hu Yang was not annoyed, and he said indifferently, "The Demon Clan is currently facing great troubles, and we’ve been compelled to ask for your help. May I inquire who is in charge of the Nine-tailed Clan now? Hu Yang requests a negotiation."

Despite Hu Yang’s seemingly amiable attitude, the Nine-tailed Foxes showed no reaction.

Hu Yang furrowed his eyebrows, and then, amidst swirling smoke,

the many Nine-tailed Demon Foxes visibly relaxed, moving aside to make way.

The next moment.

A cold voice rang out.

"Is this the attitude you take when asking for help?"

A long sword pierced through the air, aiming straight at Hu Yang’s brow.

The sword’s approach was fierce and chilling. Startled, Hu Yang found it too late to block and could only retreat several steps to barely catch it.

Fortunately, when the sword did not continue its assault, it quickly returned to its master’s hand.

At this moment, the smoke dissipated.

A white-haired woman stood there indifferently.

Her beauty was unparalleled, her expression cold. She quietly observed the many members of the Demon Clan, her eyes devoid of any superfluous sentiment, as if nothing in this world could catch her eye or touch her heart.

Shi Nian glanced at the woman’s signature white hair, then subconsciously looked at the Ling Tian Sword Master.

The Ling Tian Sword Master stared at the woman, tears streaming down his face.

Ruoshui.

It really was Ruoshui.

When they met.

She said her name was Hu Ruoshui.

Who would have thought, she was Fox Ruoshui.

Back then, Ruoshui’s cultivation was far superior to his.

Now, after so many years apart, Ruoshui had grown even stronger.

Even Hu Yang might not be a match for her now.

While he had barely managed to break through to the Mahayana Realm.

Looking at Fox Ruoshui’s icy demeanor, the Ling Tian Sword Master was somewhat daunted.

He even began to doubt.

Was he truly worthy of Ruoshui?

Besides, so many years had already passed.

Could it be that Ruoshui... had long forgotten him?

The complex expression on the Ling Tian Sword Master was evident, and Shi Nian did not speak, simply waiting in silence.

"Ruoshui, guests should be treated with hospitality. Withdraw for now."

As soon as Fox Ruoshui made her move, two men and two women revealed themselves.

The Nine-tailed Fox Clan, both men and women, were stunningly beautiful, often the higher their talent, the more beautiful they appeared.

Hu Yang glanced at the few Nine-tailed Foxes standing beside Fox Ruoshui, his expression changing subtly.

Including Fox Ruoshui, these five members were probably the Supreme Strong of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.

It was apparent that the two men and two women who appeared later were two couples.

It was said that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan was proficient in Dual Cultivation Techniques, and male and female practicing together enabled them to increase their cultivation more rapidly.

This clan was particularly exclusive, typically seeking partners within their own group.

But before the Nine-tailed Fox Clan secluded themselves from the world, they were the most sought after ideal partners among the other Demon Clans.

After one incident where a female Nine-tailed Fox nearly got forcefully abducted to become a Dual Cultivation Partner, the clan made a resolute decision to recede into an Otherworld space, henceforth avoiding worldly affairs.

Thinking of the numerous rumors about the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, Hu Yang’s gaze shifted and settled on Fox Ruoshui.

This member of the Fox Clan was recognized as a perfect Daoist couple.

Fifty years ago, Fox Ruoshui emerged into the world and seemed to have been entangled with a human man; sadly, it ended unresolved, and she returned alone to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.

Back then, the affair was a sensational one, and it was said that this white hair of Fox Ruoshui was for that man.

But Hu Yang didn’t care for any of this.

He was contemplating something else.

For Fox Ruoshui to cultivate to such a realm on her own indicated that her talent must be incredibly astonishing!

If he could become her Daoist couple...

With that thought, Hu Yang’s lips curved into a smile.

This visit was indeed the right decision.

Hu Yang looked at Fox Ruoshui with explicitly covetous eyes; Fox Ruoshui frowned slightly, her eyes flashing with concealed menace.

The male member of the Fox Clan beside her stepped forward, blocking Hu Yang’s view, and then asked, "What brings everyone here with such a grand gesture?"

With a slight smile and the air of a gentleman, Hu Yang said, "Clan Leader of the Overlord Tiger Clan, Hu Yang. Today I have come to propose marriage to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan and ask for the hand of Miss Ruoshui. Miss Ruoshui and I once shared a night of romance and have long been devoted to each other. I implore everyone here to grant us your blessings."
