Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!-Chapter 403 - 401: Nine-tailed Fox: That Was Close, I Almost Got Silenced!
The Nine-tailed Fox could sense something was amiss because previously, a subordinate she had sent out on a task had not returned for a long time.
Because the matter was urgent and the subordinate hadn’t come back, the Nine-tailed Fox had to go look for them personally.
Before long, using the secret techniques of the Fox Race, she discovered her subordinate, who had been brutally killed and buried underground.
Seeing her subordinate killed, the Nine-tailed Fox was naturally furious, yet, alongside her anger, her heart was filled with doubt.
After all, this was the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, furthermore, it was the territory of her Fox Race. Who would dare to casually kill members of the Fox Race on their own turf?
This was far too audacious!
In the end, unable to understand, the Nine-tailed Fox decided to report the matter, but what happened next made her realize the gravity of the situation.
On the way to report, she found that many places where little demons usually patrolled were completely devoid of anyone; those little demons seemed to have vanished all at once. Bringing deathly silence to the paths, it was extremely eerie. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The suspicious Nine-tailed Fox again used a secret technique to investigate, and sure enough, she found buried corpses beneath parts of the road.
In the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm, unless a life-and-death battle erupted, no kind of demon race would dare to recklessly slaughter little demons of the Fox Race like this!
Knowing something was amiss, the Nine-tailed Fox immediately suspected that enemies had infiltrated, and she followed the clues of the corpses to track down the hidden adversaries.
A moment later, the Nine-tailed Fox gazed at the Qing Shi Avenue ahead, her heart filled with shock, her face extremely grim.
"Not good, the enemies are after the treasury of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall!"
In an instant, the Nine-tailed Fox dashed quickly towards the treasury along the Qing Shi Avenue.
"These audacious thieves, daring to steal from our Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s treasury, truly ignorant of the meaning of death!"
Gritting her teeth as she stared at the open door of the treasury ahead, the Nine-tailed Fox thought that the other side had gone too far, slaughtering many of her Fox Race’s little demons and now coming to steal from the treasury. They were not to be trifled with!
To avoid being prematurely detected by the enemy, the Nine-tailed Fox restrained her aura, walking in silently.
Unexpectedly, just as the Nine-tailed Fox stepped into the treasury, she noticed Jiang Che, who had just finished looting the Magic Treasure Cave with Fang Yuan, pausing, with a playful look in his eyes.
After entering the treasury, his Divine Sense had been covering the treasury and he hadn’t expected someone to come.
"Second brother, stop searching, the treasures should be gone; come with me, a familiar face has arrived, we’ll go meet them!"
Jiang Che turned his head and urged Fang Yuan, who was fiercely knocking on the cave wall behind him.
After speaking, Jiang Che took the lead and walked out.
"Coming, coming!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan also gave up the search and quickly followed.
Thud, thud, thud~
Just stepping into the white jade hall, the Nine-tailed Fox saw the empty lotus platform, her face turning livid.
Just when she was about to search for traces of the enemy, footsteps came suddenly from the Magic Treasure Cave on the left, changing the Nine-tailed Fox’s expression.
At the moment two figures stepped out of the Magic Treasure Cave, the Nine-tailed Fox shouted angrily, "You two thieves, daring to infiltrate our Ten Thousand Beasts Hall to steal, meet your death!"
With that, the Nine-tailed Fox unleashed her full aura, filled with murderous intent, as white light surged behind her, snow-white fox tails tore through the sky, striking towards Jiang Che and Fang Yuan, brimming with killing intent.
"How bold, dare to attack this Demon Monarch?"
Angered by the attack, Fang Yuan spewed a mouthful of Demon Flame.
Boom!
In an instant, the snow-white fox tails sent out by the Nine-tailed Fox were burned to ashes by the Demon Flame.
The Nine-tailed Fox herself was also hit by a powerful force, her entire body uncontrollably crashing into the jade wall, letting out a scream of pain.
Then, her body heavily collapsed to the ground with a muffled sound.
"Cough, cough~"
So strong!
The Nine-tailed Fox coughed a few times, spitting a few drops of blood, bearing the sharp pain in her body, and looked up at the infiltrators.
Those who could sneak into the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall were indeed not ordinary people.
"Huh, big brother, isn’t this the little fox that challenged third sister before? Turns out she’s part of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall? I think it’s better to just kill her!"
Slowly walking towards the Nine-tailed Fox, Fang Yuan, upon seeing the attacker, told Jiang Che behind him in surprise.
With that, Fang Yuan was about to deal a killing blow.
Then he saw the Demon Flame in his mouth ferociously spewing towards the helpless Nine-tailed Fox.
At this moment, the Nine-tailed Fox also recognized who the infiltrators were—it was Thunder Tiger King and Black Demon Tiger, and her heart was filled with shock.
A breath later, as she stared at the approaching Demon Flame, despair was all that remained in the Nine-tailed Fox’s eyes.
It’s over, I’m going to die!
She knew Black Demon Tiger was ruthless, never showing mercy, not to mention, she had exposed Thunder Tiger King and Black Demon Tiger’s secret dealings. To keep the secret, how could they spare her?
In the nick of time, a bolt of thunder struck, a flash of purple light dispelled the Demon Flame spewed by Fang Yuan.
The formerly doomed Nine-tailed Fox saw this scene and hope arose in her eyes.
"Big brother, what’s up? This little fox has already seen us, and she knows our identities. Moreover, she belongs to the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall; she absolutely cannot be allowed to live, or else the consequences will be endless!"
The thwarted killing blow puzzled Fang Yuan as he looked at Jiang Che.
"You can’t kill her."
Looking at the frightened Nine-tailed Fox, Jiang Che reluctantly said to Fang Yuan.
This was his employee, after all, how could an employee kill another employee?
"Why? If we don’t kill her, she’ll expose our identities."
Jiang Che’s actions confused Fang Yuan. This little fox was clearly trouble, did the big brother not understand this logic?
Impossible, this old monster of a big brother, reborn, must be more cunning than he was. There had to be another reason.
"She’s one of us. Killing her would be akin to self-destruction."
With a serious expression, Jiang Che spoke solemnly.
He couldn’t directly say the little fox, like Fang Yuan, was his employee, so he had to say it tactfully.
Hearing this, Fang Yuan was taken aback, then suddenly realized: could this little fox be an inside agent arranged by the big brother within the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall?
Thinking it over, Fang Yuan thought it must be so.
After all, this little fox was able to challenge Tiger King Ridge before and leave unscathed; clearly, she had good relations with Tiger King Ridge...
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt a sense of admiration for his big brother, realizing that his brother had been planning for Ten Thousand Beasts Hall for a long time.
With an inside informant, the foundation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall would be laid bare to Tiger King Ridge in the future.
Realizing it, Fang Yuan’s intimidation dissipated, he stepped back a few steps, and smilingly said to the Nine-tailed Fox, "Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding, little fox, don’t take it personally."
Seeing the situation at the moment, the anxious Nine-tailed Fox finally relaxed, knowing that her life was no longer in danger.
Yet, she was somewhat surprised by Thunder Tiger King’s actions.
She hadn’t expected him to save her, and when did she become one of them?
"Little fox, your timing is unfortunate,"
Jiang Che teased, looking at the Nine-tailed Fox.
"Thank you, Lord Thunder Tiger King."
The Nine-tailed Fox hurriedly stood up and said nervously.
Jiang Che stared at the Nine-tailed Fox, "You won’t deliberately talk about what happened today, will you?"
"No, no, little fox saw nothing."
Startled, the Nine-tailed Fox hurriedly shook her head.
"That’s good, alright then, keep up the good work, my third sister is still waiting for your challenge."
Jiang Che nodded, then exchanged a glance with Fang Yuan, and the two quickly left.
Watching Jiang Che and Fang Yuan’s departing backs, the Nine-tailed Fox collapsed weakly to the ground, letting out a long breath, "That was close, nearly silenced!"
