Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!-Chapter 451 - 448: The Nine-Tailed Fox Becomes Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall!
Time flashed by, and three days passed.
Imperial Capital.
"Dean, now we can almost be certain that all the major ancient sects have been annihilated, and the one responsible is the Thunder Tiger King!"
Assistant Zhang handed the tablet in his hand to Dean Lin, his expression serious.
In the past few days, first came the news spreading online about the outbreak of battles at the mountain gates of various major sects, followed by the shocking news that the mountain gates were destroyed and all the people of the sects were killed.
A series of messages quickly spread across the internet, gaining more and more attention. Many also captured the tragic scenes of the sects’ mountain gates and uploaded them online, sparking intense discussions.
The Great Qin Empire’s officials also took this matter very seriously. Upon receiving the news, they immediately sent people to investigate, and soon confirmed the news of the destruction of the ancient sects.
As for who was responsible, the Great Qin Empire’s officials still had no idea and could only continue to investigate.
Dean Lin took the tablet, his gaze concentrated on the photos. In one of them, from a distance, it seemed like a purple treasure was descending onto the distinctly recognizable Celestial Demon Mountain; its outline appeared to be a bell-shaped treasure.
Dean Lin then swiped through the images; the second photo was even clearer, likely taken at the Shushan Sword Sect, with the massive purple bell pressing down on Shushan extremely conspicuously.
As Dean Lin continued to swipe, he found that every picture featured the silhouette of the purple bell.
At this point, Assistant Zhang continued, "Dean, according to the intelligence, the Thunder Tiger King possesses a bell-shaped Spirit Treasure that emits purple light, and I also appointed someone to perform a comparison. The purple bell in these images is almost identical to the Spirit Treasure held by the Thunder Tiger King.
Moreover, previously the Willow God had mentioned that the Thunder Tiger King had already ascended to Tier Nine Emperor Realm... Essentially, it’s a certainty that this was a revenge action by the Thunder Tiger King against these ancient sects!"
Upon hearing this, Dean Lin nodded, also leaning toward this conclusion in his heart.
Previously, when the Willow God returned to the Imperial Capital, he had informed the officials of the Great Qin Empire about the Thunder Tiger King’s ascension to Tier Nine and warned them not to provoke Tiger King Ridge. Now it seemed that the Thunder Tiger King’s ascension to Tier Nine Emperor Realm was almost confirmed.
"By the way, have all the mountain gates of these sects been sealed off?"
Suddenly, a thought crossed Dean Lin’s mind. As he returned the tablet to Assistant Zhang, he looked up and asked him.
After the Thunder Tiger King annihilated the sects, the first to discover it weren’t the officials of the Great Qin Empire, but rather, the local Loose Cultivators nearby.
It’s known that these ancient sects were extremely wealthy, with countless Divine Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, treasures, and Spiritual Medicine.
These people, seeing such an opportunity, surely wouldn’t pass it up, and flooded into the ruins to seek their own fortunes, causing chaos at every sect’s mountain gate, with many treasures grabbed by those Loose Cultivators first.
"Dean, the situation is already under control, all those Loose Cultivators have been persuaded to leave, and the mountain gates of the major sects have been sealed by official forces."
Assistant Zhang nodded and slowly said.
"That’s good, immediately deploy personnel to excavate the ruins of the major sects. This is a golden opportunity given to our Great Qin Empire’s officials by the Thunder Tiger King. As long as we can acquire enough resources from these sects, there’s a significant possibility of a leap in power for the Great Qin Empire."
Dean Lin nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of fervor. These ancient sects had previously talked about setting up academies in the cities of the Great Qin Empire, but nothing came of it afterward, leaving the Great Qin Empire’s officials with empty joy.
But now, there’s no need for the agreement of these ancient sects; the Great Qin Empire’s officials could gain their core cultivation techniques and Divine Techniques, as well as their cultivation skills, completely free — it was indeed a great profit.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Assistant Zhang was also incredibly excited, nodding, then turned around and quickly walked outside.
...
Ten Thousand Beasts Realm.
At this moment, in the empty Great Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Nine-tailed Fox sat on the main stone seat, looking despondent and sighing repeatedly.
"Hall Master, why so downcast? You have become the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall; you should be happy!"
Standing below were two Demon Kings with fox heads and human bodies. One of them, a cunning-looking Cyan Fox Demon King with blue fur, spoke with some confusion.
"Yes, Hall Master, we’re not sure why you called us here. Are you troubled by something?"
Beside him, the Red Fox Demon King nodded, asking perplexed.
"Hmph, one should look at the times we’re in; it’s not easy being a Hall Master now!"
Upon hearing this, the Nine-tailed Fox, leaning against the stone seat, suddenly changed her expression, coldly snorting as she spoke.
As fate would have it, after the Thunder Tiger King exterminated her master and other high-ranking members, the strongest being in Ten Thousand Beasts Realm suddenly became the Nine-tailed Fox, with a Tier Seven cultivation.
On top of that, she was not only a disciple of the White Fox Lady but also a prodigy within the hall, so naturally, she was pushed to become the Hall Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Hall.
However, being the Hall Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Hall is not an easy task. The first thing Nine-tailed Fox had to do after taking office was manage the aftermath of the upper echelon’s massacre. Retaliation against the Thunder Tiger King was out of the question. The main task was to help gather the elders’ bodies and to stabilize the various monster races that had lost their strong members.
Just after handling these, new troubles arose. The Nine-tailed Fox was considering if there were other implications behind the Thunder Tiger King’s actions.
In the past two days, Ten Thousand Beasts Hall has started sending forces out to investigate the current situation outside, and very soon, they returned with earth-shattering news.
That is, the Thunder Tiger King had annihilated all major ancient human sects, leaving no survivors, acting with extreme ruthlessness.
Compared to those human sects, the Thunder Tiger King appeared much more lenient towards their Tiger King Ridge. He only killed the elders and above among the monsters, and the rest were mostly left alive.
The Nine-tailed Fox knew the Thunder Tiger King had his reasons for not targeting the weaker ones among them. It might have been out of consideration for being from the same monster race, or perhaps by leaving Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, he had other goals...
Thus, how to face Tiger King Ridge became a major headache for Nine-tailed Fox.
Logically speaking, the deep-seated enmity shouldn’t be reconciled; they should fight Tiger King Ridge to the end, but where would their Ten Thousand Beasts Hall find the strength for that?
Subsequently, the Nine-tailed Fox informed her subordinates of her concerns.
"Hall Master, I believe our Ten Thousand Beasts Hall should never become enemies with Tiger King Ridge. It was precisely because of our past enmity with Tiger King Ridge that led to our current dire situation.
Our Ten Thousand Beasts Hall should change its approach, abandon hatred, and express our submission to Tiger King Ridge, acknowledging Tiger King Ridge as supreme from now on!"
The Cyan Fox Demon King spoke with a serious expression, his voice weighty.
Beside him, the Red Fox Demon King nodded hurriedly, "Indeed, the Thunder Tiger King is a sovereign of an era, invincible!"
