Chapter 597: Resolution

"The reasons for your tribe's current situation can certainly be explained," Xiao Ming began.

"During the great world calamity back then, your Nine-Tail Tribe followed the side of the Symbol Ancestor and made significant contributions. However, it also made your tribe a target of the Yimo. As a result, the top experts of your tribe were killed until there were hardly any left. It is said that in the final battle, the last Nine-Tail Spirit Fox of your tribe sacrificed her life to seal and suppress three Yimo Kings..."

"The reason why your Nine-Tail Tribe never managed to recover is also related to this," he paused before continuing.

"The consciousness of your Ancestor's spirit in the Ancestral Soul Hall was suppressed by those Yimo Kings sealed there. The reason why none of your tribe members who entered the Ancestral Soul Hall before came out is because they were all sacrificed."

"What! It's actually like this!"

The Village Chief and the other elders of the Nine-Tail Tribe wore extremely ugly expressions when they heard this. They couldn't help but feel grief and deep sorrow when they thought about the outstanding tribe members who had entered the Ancestral Soul Hall to seek help for the rise of the Nine-Tail Tribe, only to be sacrificed by the Yimo.

"Don't worry, open the Ancestral Soul Hall, and I'll help you eliminate the hidden dangers. The Nine-Tail Tribe will gradually recover its former glory."

Xiao Ming's words ignited a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the Nine-Tail Tribe's leaders. They immediately made a decision.

Of course, this was also due to some manipulation by Xiao Ming behind the scenes. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a large tribe to simply believe his words unless he demonstrated his strength to intimidate them.

...

Following the Village Chief, the group ventured deeper into the Nine-Tail Village.

After about half an hour, they reached a set of ruins hidden in the dense forest. At the heart of these ruins stood a massive altar.

The Village Chief led the group as they walked up the altar. In the center of the altar was a platform made of stone. The Village Chief clenched her fist and a palm-sized bronze statue appeared.

The bronze statue was a blood-red fox. However, nine tails were dancing behind it. Although it was not a physical object, it exuded a monstrous demonic aura. The Village Chief carefully placed the bronze statue on the stone platform and flicked her finger.

With a flash of light, a ball of blood appeared. A rich, bloody scent was emitted from it.

The blood-colored Nine-Tail Spirit Fox seemed to have been revived when the ball of blood landed on the bronze statue, and actually let loose a long howl towards the sky. Dark clouds churned in the sky at this moment and the blood ball turned into a ray of blood-red light that was absorbed into the mouth of the Nine-Tail Spirit Fox.

Ao!

This ancient howl contained a bleak feeling as it reverberated across the land. The Nine-Tail Spirit Fox on the altar seemed to glance at Xiao Ming and the others before a blood light erupted from its mouth. The light turned into a huge blood-red door in front of them.

The enchanting lady's brow furrowed as she turned to look at Xiao Ming and his group. Then her tone turned much colder: "My tribe members, have you forgotten even the rules of our Nine-Tail Tribe? How dare you bring outsiders into the Ancestral Soul Hall!"

"Still pretending at this point, what's the point?"

Xiao Ming chuckled slightly, then appeared in front of the enchanting lady with a single step. He extended his right hand and plunged right into her, then slowly withdrew it.

"Ah! What do you want to do?! Our three consciousnesses have been closely connected with hers for thousands of years. If you wipe out our consciousness, her consciousness will also disappear completely. By then, the Nine-Tail Tribe will have no chance to rise again...!"

A light cluster in the palm of his hand kept distorting, emitting a panicked female voice intertwined with occasional bewitching and seductive tones. The members of the Nine-Tail Tribe all had their expressions change drastically the moment this light cluster appeared.

However, Xiao Ming remained unfazed. A gentle white light shot out of his eyes and enveloped the light cluster. Bit by bit, the black Qi within it was quickly forced out. The black Qi then condensed into three clouds of black mist.

Three Yimo Kings reappeared in the world. Their Demonic Qi soared into the sky in an instant.

"Ahh, I refuse to accept this! As long as we can obtain a little more blood and flesh, we could have rebuilt our physical bodies!"

A roar echoed from within the black mist. There was anger and unwillingness in that roar. They had finally seen some hope after tens of thousands of years. However, this hope had now been completely destroyed.

The surrounding Nine-Tail Tribe members trembled and shuddered uncontrollably, feeling genuine terror from the depths of their hearts. On the other hand, the Mu Lingshan trio, who had witnessed various great scenes during their time with Xiao Ming, were not scared in the slightest.

Xiao Ming took out the demonic bead and absorbed all the mist. These three Yimo Kings, who had been plotting against the Nine-Tail Tribe for many years, became part of the power within the demonic bead, adding a bit more to its aura.

However, Xiao Ming felt somewhat dissatisfied with this outcome.

'This True King, after reaching the 3rd Calamity Reincarnation Stage, can only gain such a small increase in strength by absorbing the souls of these three Yimo Kings. When will he reach the Half-Ancestor Stage? Only at that stage can he barely pose a threat to the Plane Spirit. It seems I'll need to make a trip to the Dragon Clan's Devil Suppressing Prison.'

As Xiao Ming contemplated, the mist that had separated from the Yimo Kings returned to the lady's body. Light suddenly gushed out from her seductive body once again. However, this time around, it was not an evil aura. Instead, it was a somewhat pink radiance.

The pink light spread and the tightly shut eyes of the enchanting lady slowly opened. She looked at Xiao Ming and smiled, a smile that contained a frightening bewitchment.

Xiao Ming noticed the change and put away the demonic bead.

"Have you regained consciousness?"

The enchanting lady lowered her head to look at her long and slender hands. A complicated expression filled her bewitching eyes. Afterward, she looked at Xiao Ming and offered a bow, "This Senior... thank you for the help."
