Fox Slave A Si's body was trembling, but she still did not speak.
Whether the people of the Lao sister clan deserved to die had nothing to do with her; she only wanted the Xianling Clan to die.
It was precisely because of the previous clan leader that her father and several talented older brothers had all lost their lives.
For the death of Xianling Cui, she would have gladly set up a few tables to celebrate.
But now, the saint of the Xianling Clan was asking whether the Lao sister clan deserved to die.
This caused the anger in her heart to erupt once again.
Anyone could ask this question, but when it came from someone of the Xianling Clan, she could not answer!
"Fox Slave A Si, right? You're a person I can't quite figure out. If you aren't convinced by us, you should stand up and duel with us, and die in battle in the end."
Xianling Nan's black-and-gold eyes stared at Fox Slave A Si. "But you've already knelt down—why worry about saving face? What I hate most are women who pretend to be noble while acting cheap!"
Slap!
Xianling Nan struck Fox Slave A Si across the face.
"Commander!"
A middle-aged man in the distance immediately stood up. "Xianling Nan! I'll fight you to the death!"
Whoosh!
A white blade instantly pierced the middle-aged man's neck, blood spraying outward as he collapsed to the ground.
The few people kneeling nearby, witnessing this, broke out in panicked murmurs and scrambled away from the corpse.
"The saint is the totem of our Baishi Clan. How dare you show disrespect to her?"
Xianling Qi lowered his hand, speaking with a calm expression.
"Uncle Yue!"
Fox Slave A Si, seeing this, hurriedly rose and turned to run toward the middle-aged man.
Xianling Nan struck Fox Slave A Si on the back with her palm.
A white light suddenly burst forth, sending Fox Slave A Si flying through the air, skidding more than a dozen meters before stopping.
"Who allowed you to stand up?"
Xianling Nan walked over with a calm face.
"Xianling Nan!"
Fox Slave A Si wiped the blood from her mouth and stood up from the ground. Her once serene face was now filled with murderous intent.
Xianling Nan shrugged. "I know—the clan leader once sent your clan to attack the Jiaolong Clan, and you failed to complete the mission, with all your experts dead. So you hold a grudge against us, right?"
Fox Slave A Si looked at her own family members, her eyes reddening.
If not for these people, she would have long spoken the words in her heart.
"Forget it, I won't torture you anymore."
Xianling Nan turned to look at Xianling Qi and Pang Xun. "The Fox Slave Clan holds deep hatred for us of Xianling. They can never be used by us. Root them out and annihilate them."
"Xianling Nan! Your Xianling Clan is the one that deserves to die the most! The most!"
Fox Slave A Si wept as she shouted at her.
She never expected that her meek submission would end in death anyway.
If she had known this, she would have taken her clan and left with Xu Mu.
Xu Mu had said he couldn't guarantee everyone's safety, but at least he could save a few.
But she chose to stay here, only to let the bloodline of Fox Slave be completely cut off—she couldn't accept it!
"Though somewhat cruel, it does make sense. This clan has barely anyone left anyway. Kill them all to eliminate future trouble."
Xianling Qi pondered for a moment and agreed that Xianling Nan's reasoning was sound.
Fox Slave A Si gritted her teeth, suddenly erupting with power as she charged at Xianling Nan. "Even if I have to die, I'll drag you, bastard, down with me!"
Xianling Nan grinned. "With you? Even if you did drag me down, underground, you and your father would still have to bow to our Xianling Clan's leader!"
Boom!
A dazzling white light burst between the two. Xianling Nan merely stepped back two paces, while Fox Slave A Si was thrown back four or five meters.
"Unexpected—you've actually reached the Transcendent Realm. Your talent can't be underestimated. Uncle Qi, kill her."
Xianling Nan turned to Xianling Qi and said.
"Alright!"
Xianling Qi raised his hand, and a white blade shot toward Fox Slave A Si.
Fox Slave A Si dodged upon seeing it, but the white blade pursued her relentlessly, impossible to evade.
She had to use her Qi to build a defense against the incoming blade.
But the opponent's technique was too strong—the defense she could muster was no match for the blade.
As the blade visibly pierced through her defense, just as it was about to break through, Fox Slave A Si's figure suddenly vanished.
In her place stood another person.
It was Xu Mu.
Xu Mu grabbed the blade, and the Devouring Spirit Gu on his hand emitted a dark golden light that completely devoured the blade.
This time, Xu Mu did not hide his identity but appeared in his true form.
In the distance, Fox Slave A Si's figure suddenly reappeared beside Chen Xuan. She looked around and realized that Xu Mu had taken the spot where she had stood.
"Xu Mu..."
Fox Slave A Si gazed at the distant figure, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.
[Affection +10]
"Xu Mu."
Xianling Nan squinted. "How dare you, bold enough to come into our Inner Realm?"
"Is this Xu Mu?"
Pang Xun's expression turned solemn. "This is the champion of the martial arts tournament. Are your elders really daring enough to let you come alone?"
"You're right—since I dare to show up here, I must have experts by my side."
As Xu Mu spoke, Chen Xuan and the two black-robed corpses walked over toward him.
Canlang Wei turned back to look at Xu Mu, finding his posture vaguely familiar.
Could he be the same person in black robes who came out earlier?
Xianling Nan stared at Xu Mu and asked, "What business do you have in our Inner Realm?"
"Nothing much—just came to travel. But I saw you bullying this young lady, and it didn't sit well with me, so I decided to meddle."
Xu Mu pointed at Fox Slave A Si, who was following Chen Xuan.
[Affection -5]
Xianling Nan sneered and continued, "Then how do you propose to meddle?"
"Let all the people of the Fox Slave Clan go."
Xu Mu shrugged.
"And if I don't?"
Xianling Nan's gaze turned sinister.
"If you don't? I happen to know a bit of martial arts myself."
Xu Mu pointed at Xianling Nan. "Besides, I've got a big weapon. You should know my nickname: the Matchmaker. I've played cupid between those two before."
"You..."
Xianling Nan glared at Xu Mu, then broke into a bright smile. "Xu Mu, no one can threaten me. Since you're willing to help her, then die together with her! I'll have you know, we have two Fourth-Level experts here!"
"Fourth-Level experts? Oh, I'm so scared!"
Xu Mu showed no concern at all. The two behind him were definitely stronger.
"Xu Mu! Even if the two behind you are Fifth-Level, do they dare to act? If experts from the outside world fight in our Inner Realm, that violates the rules. Do you know the ripple effects? Can you bear them?"
Xianling Nan stared hard at Xu Mu. "I'll give you one last chance: leave, or not?"
"Honey, I just wanted to take a few more wives—stop being mad and come home with me."
Xu Mu suddenly smiled at Xianling Nan. "We've been apart so long. I know you've been longing for me, and I've been eagerly waiting for you, too."
"You! Xu Mu! How dare you insult me! Attack! Kill them all!"
Xianling Nan's expression turned flustered. She pointed at Xu Mu and shouted.
"Honey! I admit I didn't perform well last time, but this time I'll be in top form."
Xu Mu continued.
