Thinking of the puppy, Zhu Nanzhi couldn't help but recall the silver-white dog tail that Mu Qingyue had once shown her...

Hmph, Mu Qingyue even wanted to give the tail to my husband; luckily, he wasn't fooled and instead gave the tail back to her...

Hmm?

In this situation, would my husband be happier if I didn't use the Beast Transformation Technique?

Zhu Nanzhi glanced back at the pure white cat tail she had transformed using the Beast Transformation Technique, falling into contemplation.

Attaching a tail without using the Beast Transformation Technique...

It might be worth a try.

With this thought in mind, Zhu Nanzhi refocused her attention on assisting Lu Jin'an. After finishing her tasks, she noticed the sweat gradually appearing on her husband's forehead, quickly darted out to prepare a midnight snack.

Just as she left, Qiu Qingtang silently stepped inside.

After standing at the doorway for a while, she softly asked, "When we were at my Qiu's Holy Land, you said Zhiyu would definitely be at Qingqiu...

But I don't understand, how exactly can you make Zhu Tianqi and the others appear in Qingqiu?"

Lu Jin'an casually replied, "You'll understand when the time comes... In fact, Zhu Tianqi and the others will be waiting there tonight."

"Hmm?"

Qiu Qingtang furrowed her brows slightly, but seeing Lu Jin'an unwilling to elaborate, she let it go.

She quietly exited the room, turning her head towards the direction of the Demon World, muttering to herself, "How do Zhu Tianqi and the others listen to you?"

······

Demon World, Qingqiu Qiu Clan.

The Four Great Fox Clans were still amidst internal strife during this period.

Even though the current Tushan Clan Leader and Yousu Clan Leader knew it was Lu Jin'an who ambushed their holy land, they would certainly not halt their counterattacks.

Because the losses were too severe.

Once the balance among the Four Great Fox Clans is disrupted, the clan preserving the most strength will naturally engulf the others.

To prevent this, the Tushan, Yousu, and Pure Fox clans have united, aiming to bring down Qingqiu's strength by a notch.

They're especially hostile towards the Qiu Family.

Because the guide, Qiu Qingtang, originated from the Qiu Family, no matter how you look at it, the Qiu Family cannot escape responsibility.

Thus, the Qiu Family's situation has been extremely tough lately.

Already experiencing the Heavenly Human Five Declines, Qiu Miaoyu has been reclusive, remaining in the caves without showing herself.

Deep in the cave, the gaunt-faced Qiu Miaoyu gazed at the flickering bit of void light between the mountain walls with complex, cloudy eyes.

This was an anomaly she discovered not long ago.

Without a doubt, it was left by Lu Jin'an, with Qiu Qingtang guiding Lu Jin'an to leave it.

Because it contains the spiritual power of the Human Clan.

And among the Human Clan, only Qiu Qingtang with Lu Jin'an could stealthily come here and leave such a trace.

Qiu Miaoyu has been contemplating the purpose behind this left by Qiu Qingtang, ultimately concluding it is a contingency plan...

Hence, she did not inform anyone about this spatial node and even intended to cast spells to further conceal it.

However, progress was limited.

Since Qiu Miaoyu did not understand the Path of Space and feared inadvertently damaging the spatial node, rendering this all futile.

So afterwards, she secluded herself in the cave, using her demon energy to mask this spatial node.

As for the ongoing internal strife among the Four Great Fox Clans...

Qiu Miaoyu didn't want to intervene, nor did she have the energy, because to her, a glimmer of hope for life lay before her.

Often this kind of lifeline easily erodes one's Determination.

Her eyelids lowered slightly, just as she was about to cast more concealment spells, the furious voice of Qiu Ze outside echoed: "Yu Yunzhou, this is our ancestor, you..."

The voice abruptly stopped, followed by a violent tremor.

Boom—

The tightly closed Stone Gate of the cave was blasted apart, Qiu Miaoyu's face changed slightly, transforming into a giant pink fox, her elderly demeanor turning apprehensive: "Yu Yunzhou, you mean what..."

Qiu Miaoyu's questioning voice ceased abruptly, as the imposing figure that entered her gaze caused her to tremble involuntarily.

"Greetings, Your Majesty..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Qiu Miaoyu lowered her fox head, unable to hide the panic in her eyes, never expecting that Zhu Tianqi would personally be here.

The internal strife among the Four Great Fox Clans... such a trivial matter... shouldn't require his personal intervention, right?

"I didn't know Your Majesty..."

Qiu Miaoyu cautiously continued to inquire, but Zhu Tianqi didn't spare her even a glance, slightly raising his hand, demon energy surged, Qiu Miaoyu was unable to control her shrinking demon energy, subsequently flung against the mountain wall with a wave of Zhu Tianqi's finger.

Thud—

In the muffled sound, Qiu Miaoyu's face changed, suddenly realizing the reason for Zhu Tianqi's visit.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed a spatial node!"

Yu Yunzhou dispelled Qiu Miaoyu's demon energy, observing the spatial light particles on the mountain wall, remarked: "This spiritual power... is most likely from Lu Jin'an."

Zhu Tianqi nodded slightly, confident in his mastery of the Space Dao, on the Yunding Continent, he dared to claim second, no one dared claim first!

In the future, Lu Jin'an might reach his level, but definitely not now.

Thus, while sensing the Candle Dragon's body, he detected a very hidden spatial fluctuation concealed here.

Consequently, he rushed over and indeed discovered this one-way spatial node.

"Lu Jin'an..."

Zhu Tianqi chuckled softly, addressing Qiu Miaoyu: "Lu Jin'an may act more domineering than Zheng Dongliu, but he's equally loyal, he even thought about rescuing you...

But it's unlikely for your sake."

"Perhaps it's for that Little Candle Dragon..."

"Your Majesty, should we destroy this spatial node?" Yu Yunzhou gently asked.

"No!" Zhu Tianqi raised his hand: "Why startle the snake? Since that brat has the audacity to show off his paltry skills before me, it's only right to let him taste a bitter surprise."

"Do you mean to counter his trick?"

"Not only will I counter it!" Zhu Tianqi turned to the Dragon Saints flanking the cave: "Relay my orders, gather the power of all Dragon Saints, and relocate the Dragon Soul Hall here!"

!

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Saints present showed slight changes in expression, for the Dragon Soul Hall has stood on Dragon Island throughout history, hosting numerous deceased Dragon Saints and Dragon Emperors' Dragon Soul Power, representing a true sacred place for the Dragon Clan...

Relocation... how could it be easy?

Furthermore, what if this damages the Dragon Clan's Destiny?

"Your Majesty, I feel..."

"Hmm?" Zhu Tianqi's gaze sharpened: "You dare to question my words?"

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare, just..."

"Your Majesty's intention is to catch Lu Jin'an off guard?" Yu Yunzhou interjected: "If it's for Zhiyu, clearly he has prepared to have Zhiyu return to the Dragon Clan, but he set up a spatial node here to quickly reach the Dragon Clan...

When he finds out you've moved the Dragon Soul Hall here, he'll surely be incredulous, then coupled with the Dragon Soul Hall, you can directly suppress him here..."

Saying this, Yu Yunzhou bowed: "Your Majesty's foresight is beyond Lu Jin'an, we are in awe!"

"Enough with the flattery." Zhu Tianqi replied impatiently, without refuting.

He wouldn't underestimate Lu Jin'an, but he also believed Lu Jin'an couldn't have anticipated he'd relocate the Dragon Hall to Qingqiu!

By then, even if Lu Jin'an ascends to Immortality, he wouldn't escape suppression by all his might!

Moreover, that kid is now drowning in indulgences, not to mention advancing, it'd be impressive if he doesn't regress!

"The relocation of the Dragon Soul Hall is temporary, in the future it should stand in the center of the Yunding Continent!"

Zhu Tianqi's expression turned aloof: "Let me remind you all, though the advantage currently lies with the Dragon Clan, Zheng Dongliu hasn't perished, nor has Lu Jin'an, we must not relax our vigilance now more than ever...

The outcome depends on this!

All Dragon Saints lowered their heads in unison, Yu Yunzhou looked towards Qiu Miaoyu on the side: "Your Majesty, how should she be handled?"

"Keep watch over her." Zhu Tianqi said indifferently: "If she dares step out of this place, you'll join your ancestors underground."

After all, Lu Jin'an might also be here for Qiu Qingtang's Grandma, so for now, this old woman cannot die.

Zhu Tianqi flicked his sleeve: "The Fox Clan's internal strife... I'll resolve it personally."

Yu Yunzhou remained silent while keeping his head low.

Zhu Tianqi passed by him, patting his shoulder: "Should the task succeed, you'll be the first meritorious one."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Yunzhou knelt down.
