Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body-Chapter 38 - Entering the Illusion by Mistake, From Little Nine’s Intimidation

Immediately after, Elder Zhao’s face suddenly turned deathly pale, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. His entire body trembled, and bean-sized beads of sweat slid down his forehead.

No matter how Shen Tianyi and the others called out, there was no reaction. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

No one knew what kind of pressure he was currently under.

The enormous Nine-tailed Fox slowly came over, and the divine light in its eyes was like ten thousand golden rays, binding him within. Elder Zhao wanted to escape, but where could he escape to?

The world sank into darkness, and the despair that surged in his heart drowned him.

Shen Tianyi was also very anxious. Elder Zhao had clearly fallen into an illusion, but what kind of illusion was it that could make the powerful Elder Zhao fall for it in an instant?

He was extremely astonished and did not dare to act rashly. After all, he might also fall for the illusion if he tried to save Elder Zhao.

“Fortunately, the person who set up this illusion didn’t have any killing intent. If he set up a few offensive arrays, he would have easily killed Elder Zhao.”

Shen Tianyi felt his scalp go numb. He was sure that even the most powerful formation master in the sect could not do this. Where did Gu Xi learn this from?

“Sect Leader, what should we do now?”

The rest looked at Shen Tianyi, hoping that he could make a decision. After all, although the illusion did not cause any physical harm, if one did not wake up for a long time, they would get lost and never be able to walk out again.

“This–”

Shen Tianyi suddenly felt a little awkward. It was clearly the sect’s territory, but he felt like he was in the Mystic Realm.

However, he could not admit this, not in front of everyone. He had no choice.

Otherwise, as the Sect Leader, he would lose too much face. He could not even enter his own disciple’s cultivation place.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Gu Xi also felt that the array formation had been touched.

He did not want the sect disciples to accidentally enter the Sanqing Peak, and he wanted to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out. If that happened, it would attack the prying eyes of others. So, Gu Xi asked Little Nine to set up this special array formation.

As a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, Little Nine’s bloodline power had not been fully awakened yet. However, setting up an illusion was almost an innate ability of its bloodline. Even a Dragon Transformation stage cultivator would be caught by it if they were not careful.

“Sect Leader, why are you here?”

The sudden appearance of the voice frightened everyone.

Gu Xi had appeared behind them without anyone noticing. Even Shen Tianyi did not see him coming.

Looking at Gu Xi’s cultivation level, it seemed that there was no change from before. However, Shen Tianyi felt that there was something wrong. He could not tell exactly what it was. he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

“Elder Zhao has fallen into an illusion.”

“Oh, that’s easy. Little Nine!”

Shen Tianyi still did not understand what this meant. He saw a furry figure suddenly pounce on Elder Zhao at such a fast speed that only an afterimage could be seen.

“What is this thing!”

The person who cast the illusion had to be the one who breaks the illusion. Little Nine’s big fluffy tail was like cotton candy as it swept across Elder Zhao’s face.

Elder Zhao had just opened his eyes when he met the furry fox’s face. Although it was cute and small, he had just seen a fox swallow the sun with his own eyes in the illusion, and it had almost swallowed him. He flew into a panic.

“Fox!” Elder Zhao screamed and fell to the ground, his hands waving wildly. “Don’t come near me!”

Little Nine jumped onto Gu Xi’s shoulder and licked its claws. Its snow-white tail was still swaying, and it tilted its head as if it did not understand Elder Zhao’s behavior.

This kind of charmingly naive action could almost capture the hearts of all the female cultivators. They wished that they could hug it in their arms and stroke its big tail, calling it cute.

“Elder Zhao, What’s wrong with you?”

Everyone was also baffled. They did not understand why Elder Zhao was so afraid of a little fox. In their eyes, Little Nine was just an ordinary fox. Its strength was weak, but its fur was snow-white, as pure and flawless as the snowflakes in the sky.

Elder Zhao shook his head violently. “No, it’s nothing.”

There was no lack of cultivators who raised such demonic beasts. Even though their spiritual power was not high, their appearance was outstanding. They were just good-looking pets. It was impossible to expect such demonic beasts to fight. After all, their cultivation was extremely low.

It was mainly female cultivators who kept demonic beasts as pets. Shen Tianyi did not expect Gu Xi to raise them as well. He felt a little strange, but he did not want Gu Xi to be distracted. “Next time, you can choose a stronger Familiar Beast in the sect. I’m afraid this little fox won’t be able to fight alongside you.”

Gu Xi smiled but did not say anything. On the other hand, Little Nine was a little unhappy. It kept calling out as if it was protesting something, and it even felt eager to fight them.

“Stop fooling around.” Only after being pacified by Gu Xi did it quiet down.

Elder Zhao looked at the interaction between the two of them. He did not know why, but the Little Fox in front of him was petite and did not look as huge as the one in the illusion. However, he felt that the shadows of the two foxes somehow overlapped.

Little Nine seemed to have sensed that someone was looking at it. It suddenly met Elder Zhao’s gaze. Its ice-cold eyes were not as gentle and cute as they were in front of Gu Xi. Instead, they were cold and aloof.

It was the same as the fox in the illusion!

Elder Zhao shivered and quickly averted his gaze. Could it be that he was still immersed in the illusion and had not regained his senses? Would he feel the same way every time he met a fox?

When the others saw Elder Zhao lose his composure, they could not help but ask, “What did you see in the illusion earlier?”

Elder Zhao felt somewhat embarrassed. He was scared out of his wits by a fox, and he was even stammering.

He did not want to hear about this matter anymore and quickly changed the topic, “There are still many disciples waiting. Let’s not forget what we’re here for.”
