After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 263 - Is He More Popular than the Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants?
Chapter 263: Is He More Popular than the Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants?
At the Fox Clan border, a sea of dark, elite corpse puppets surged forward like a tsunami.
Unlike the usual wandering undead, these corpse puppets, under the command of the Holy Son of the Ghost Controlling Sect and several protectors, were organized and disciplined, clad in ghost armor, each with the strength of Core Formation to Nascent Soul stage. They advanced relentlessly, transforming the Fox Clan border into a zombie apocalypse.
In contrast, the Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants stationed at the border, though all at least at the Deity Transformation Realm, were few in number and unprepared for the Ghost Controlling Sect’s full-scale attack today.
The Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants could sweep away swathes of corpse puppets with a single sword strike, but the moment the puppets were cut down, new ones would rush forward to absorb their flesh, merging with their companions to form even more powerful elite corpse puppets.
Initially, the Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants held their ground behind the city walls, but when dozens of corpse puppets, led by giant undead, breached a gap in the defenses, the entire Fox Clan border quickly fell into chaos.
A breach in the line needed immediate reinforcement, or else it would become an unstoppable avalanche, leading to total collapse.
But the Ghost Controlling Sect had launched their attack without warning, and the Fox Clan couldn’t summon enough Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants to counter in time.
Worse, during this critical moment, the Fox Clan couldn’t reach Ye Qingchuan or his Void God Realm Azure Dragon protectors.
Had Ye Qingchuan been here, he could have commanded his protectors to decimate the corpse puppets effortlessly. But now, when he was most needed, he had vanished.
With no leadership, the Fox Clan was left with only their own elders and a few dozen Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants to face the Ghost Controlling Sect’s onslaught.
“Quick, retreat! The Ghost Controlling Sect is serious today!”
“Damn, where’s that bastard Ye Qingchuan? He swore the Ghost Controlling Sect wouldn’t dare invade, and now when they’re here, he’s nowhere to be seen!”
“We can’t hold them back! We need to save ourselves!”
Witnessing their comrades being devoured by corpse puppets, the remaining Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants lost their will to fight.
With their leader missing, their morale plummeted. They weren’t willing to die for the Fox Clan, which wasn’t even their homeland.
Nearby, Fox Clan elders saw the Immortal Attendants retreating and panicked. This was a critical moment for their defense. If the Immortal Attendants abandoned them, the Fox Clan’s territory would be overrun, and they’d have to flee to the Cherry Sea Secret Realm, their last refuge. Losing their territory would spell the end of the Fox Clan.
But when an elder tried to stop them, one of the Immortal Attendants struck him down.
“Get out of the way, old man! Can’t you see the thousands of elite corpse puppets? Without higher-ranking Immortal Generals, we can’t hold them back!”
“Do you expect me, a genius of the immortal sects, to die for your beastmen? Stop joking around!”
With that, the Immortal Attendants flew away, leaving the Fox Clan in despair as the corpse puppets began to breach the city walls.
Watching this scene of chaos, the Holy Son of the Ghost Controlling Sect, standing atop the corpse puppet army, couldn’t help but laugh hysterically.
“Hahahaha!!!”
“Saintess, do you see that?”
“Look at those pathetic immortals! The Dragon Dynasty’s trash is nothing more than this!”
“Where is that dog Ye Qingchuan? Is he too scared to show his face?”
“What a joke! Hiding behind the Fox Clan like a coward, with four Void God Realm protectors, and not even fighting? Haha!”
Li Xuan was ecstatic, mocking the Dragon Dynasty and Ye Qingchuan to the red-robed Saintess beside him.
After today, he would push through the Fox Clan territory, and his corpse puppet army would reach unprecedented heights.
Then, he would return to the Ghost Controlling Sect with an undead empire and secure his position as the next successor of the sect.
“Where is that bastard Ye Qingchuan?”
Beside him, Mu Yanli in her red dress and blood-stained white hair watched coldly, impatient.
According to their agreement, if Ye Qingchuan appeared with the Azure Dragon protectors, she would help Li Xuan fight him off.
She didn’t mind; she still remembered how Ye Qingchuan had almost killed her during the battle at the northern border. She was ready to use Li Xuan as bait and kill Ye Qingchuan herself.
But strangely, Ye Qingchuan was nowhere to be seen.
“Could he have been killed?”
“By whom? The Empress?”
“Did the Empress find out about his collusion with the Ghost Controlling Sect and send someone stronger to eliminate him?”
“If Ye Qingchuan really was eliminated, then the next target...”
Thinking this, Mu Yanli felt a chill down her spine.
She hoped she was overthinking it.
But even if something went wrong, she had a plan. Since she was only a secret collaborator and hadn’t personally harmed the Fox Clan, the main target of hatred was Li Xuan, not her.
“If anything happens, I’ll let Li Xuan take the fall.”
With that thought, Mu Yanli sneered, looking at Li Xuan with contempt.
......
In the heart of the Fox Clan’s territory, chaos reigned.
“Get out of the way, old man!”
“Please spare the child, she’s only fourteen...”
“You don’t understand, serving immortals of the Dragon Dynasty is an honor for your kind!”
“No! I don’t want to go with you! Mama, help!”
In the streets, a fourth-rank Immortal Attendant took several Fox Clan girls, but their parents clung to him.
Just as the Immortal Attendant was about to strike, a frosty blade severed his arm—spurt!
Blood sprayed as the Immortal Attendant collapsed, letting the girls escape to their parents.
He looked up to see a noble nine-tailed white fox in the sky, her snowy eyes filled with killing intent.
“Saintess Zhiyue?”
“But she... she was crippled, wasn’t she? How...”
“Scum.”
Before he could finish, a thousand-meter-long moon blade struck, tearing through the void and annihilating him with abyssal energy.
After killing the rogue Immortal Attendant, the nine-tailed fox only glanced at the devastated Fox Clan people before heading to the frontlines.
Seeing more corpse puppets attacking the Fox Clan, the silver-haired fairy stepped forward, unleashing a wave of abyssal frost that froze all the oncoming undead.
The Fox Clan people looked at her with awe and gratitude.
A young Fox Clan boy, infected with corpse poison, collapsed in pain. The fairy touched his arm, freezing the infected area.
“I’ve frozen the poison. Cut off the infected flesh, and it will grow back when you cultivate more.”
Her voice was cold, but her actions were gentle.
“Th-thank you...”
The boy looked up at her, his eyes filled with admiration.
Though she was known for her coldness and had killed many, deep down, An Luo Yi was not heartless. She would help the weak, even in this chaotic world.
“Thank you, beautiful fairy sister!”
The boy thanked her again, and more Fox Clan people joined in, calling her a saint or a heroine.
An Luo Yi, surrounded by their praise, couldn’t help but blush.
“You see, you see?”
“My wife is loved by all!”
A hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into an embrace.
An Luo Yi’s cold face flushed red.
“He Ange, you’re always embarrassing me in public. Are you doing this on purpose?”
She pouted.
He Ange smiled.
“I am. Do you not like it?”
“I hate it.”
Despite her words, she didn’t pull away, her face a mix of pout and contentment.
“If it were before, if you had dared to hug me, you’d be begging for mercy under my sword.”
“Turns out, my little junior is not so little.”
“You! You’re terrible!”
Blushing, An Luo Yi gave up arguing and leaned into him.
Meanwhile, He Ange turned to address the Fox Clan people.
“Fellow Fox Clan members, don’t panic. I am this fairy’s junior, He Yuan, and a follower of Saintess Xia Zhiyue.”
“Saintess Zhiyue is fighting at the frontlines, and I’ve been entrusted to ensure your safety.”
“Please follow my instructions and evacuate to the Cherry Sea Secret Realm, where Elder Xuan Que will protect you...”
With that, He Ange organized the Fox Clan refugees and led them to safety, before heading to the frontlines with An Luo Yi to face the Ghost Controlling Sect.
......
In the Cherry Sea Secret Realm, Yan Ruyu had recovered from her fatigue and was about to leave to find He Yuan, the Spirit Phoenix Sect’s Holy Son, to see what he was up to.
But on her way, she encountered a large group of Fox Clan refugees.
Curious, she asked them what had happened.
“You mean a silver-haired fairy and a young man named He Yuan saved you and brought you here?”
The White Dragon Saintess looked stunned, as if hearing that a terrorist had joined a charity.
“Yes! Big Brother He Yuan is a good man!”
“And the fairy sister is kind too! She healed my wounds!”
The Fox Clan boy enthusiastically praised his saviors.
Yan Ruyu was speechless.
“He Yuan...”
“He’s more popular than the Dragon Dynasty Immortal Attendants?”
