Just as Ji Fengyan could no longer sustain her forceful stance, a strong gush of power suddenly rushed up from her inner core. In an instant, a stinging pain had spread across her body, as if there was something in her body that was tearing apart her inner core!
Ji Fengyan had never experienced such extreme pain before and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Sensing Ji Fengyan's tensing up suddenly, Liu Huo immediately was awoken and stopped his movement. To his horror, there was a red demon aura surrounding Ji Fengyan's body!
That demon aura was very strong and Liu Huo's expression turned ghastly instantaneously!
How did this happen?!
How could there be demon aura on Ji Fengyan?!
By now, Ji Fengyan was already dying in pain. The pain from her inner core being devoured made her lose her consciousness instantly and her body jerked uncontrollably.
Her consciousness was forcefully dragged into the spiritual realm by that powerful energy.
In the darkness, Ji Fengyan could faintly see a golden ball floating. It was her inner core that she had cultivated for so many years, and also the source of her power.
But currently, there was a thick layer of a red demon aura surrounding it and the demon aura gradually formed a huge illusion. There was a huge and red demon fox… That demon had the same form as the one she had seen in the underground palace at the capital institute!
"Such a pitiful thing," the demon fox used its sharp claws to hold on to Ji Fengyan's inner core and its ferocious looking face had a delighted smile on it.
"Are you satisfied with my powers?" the demon fox's long and narrow eyes formed a thin line and its claws exerted greater strength on the inner core.
There were a few cracklings formed on her inner core instantly and the instant her inner core shattered, Ji Fengyan's soul was dealt with such a huge impact that her soul trembled.
"What are you exactly?!" Ji Fengyan gritted her teeth and endured the extreme pain coming from her soul.
The demon fox looked at Ji Fengyan and smiled, "What am I? Such ignorance… Didn't you see me before? Why are you this furious? Wasn't it my powers that saved thousands of people from the institution that time? Shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"You are that piece of demon bone? You have not been refined yet?" Ji Fengyan was slightly taken aback and a feeling of uneasiness creeped up her mind.
What was going on?
How could a piece of demon bone have its own consciousness?
Moreover, wasn't the demon aura from the demon clan already refined by her inner core that time at the underground palace? How could this demon appear once again?
The demon fox lifted its chin slightly and looked at the weak Ji Fengyan, "indeed, that piece of bone belongs to me. Haven't you thought too highly of yourself—thinking that you could refine my energy using such a small core?"
The demon fox used its sharp claws to knock against her inner core and its gaze was filled with mock.
"But… you really have an extraordinary presence. I did not expect that there would be such an amazing thing in your pitiful body. You should be glad that you have this, otherwise you would have been long dead."
"Don't worry, I am a fair person. So long as you lead me out of the underground palace, I would naturally not harm you. I have looked for you today to make a deal with you." the demon fox narrowed its eyes and slightly let go of its grip on Ji Fengyan's inner core, allowing her soul to be less tense.
