"Let's hurry up and start. This place is so strange, just in case something unexpected happens." Shen Zhiruo felt as if she was being stared at by something as goosebumps rose all over her body.

Meng Yifan could not help but ask, "Just what method do you guys have?"

It is said that this is the last ancient fox in the world, and it has been locked up here by several experts from the Upper Realm. Those experts were afraid that Gu Xiu would escape into disaster, so they separated his soul and body and hid it in two corners of the ninth floor. Shen Zhiruo paused for a moment before continuing, "If you want to remove the seal, then you must use the blood of the person with beast driving talent to sacrifice Gu Xiu Hu's body. Once the seal is removed, Gu Xiu will need to swallow the person with beast driving talent once the soul body is back.

"So that's how it is." Meng Yifan was suddenly enlightened.

"It's not difficult to find the body of an ancient cultivator like fox …" Once you enter the ninth floor, no matter where you go, you will always return to the sacrificial altar there … "Look!" Shen Zhiruo pointed to a huge stage in front of her with wild joy.

There was nothing to be seen on the high platform except for a number of ravines on the ground, densely packed like blood vessels. The only connection was a rectangular pit in the middle of the high platform, just large enough to fit a person.

Mu Xiaoling was placed in the crater. Shen Zhiruo had cut her wrists and blood flowed into the ditch drop by drop. It was clearly just a drop of blood, but it suddenly flowed like a long river.

Not long after, the fog grew denser, and the smell of blood filled everyone's nose.

Shen Zhiruo's face was filled with madness as she stared at the blood vessel like ditch on the ground and muttered non-stop, "Soon, soon. I will soon become the strongest person in this world and everyone will have no choice but to give in to me. I will be the first female emperor, I will become the god of this world."

Shen Zhiruo's face was distorted by her madness. Her eyes were bloodshot, and the color of the ground didn't match her look at all.

At this moment, the roars of a fox could be heard. The gigantic, snow-white fox appeared out of nowhere and sniffed the blood on the ground. Its two large, snow-white fox tails lightly smacked against the ground.

The Ancient Cultivator Fox had appeared!

"Come, come and pay your respects to me! I am your master!" Shen Zhiruo was captivated by the fox's appearance. Her footsteps got closer and closer, as if one more step would allow her to get closer to the picture of the crowd paying respects.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed.

Gu Xiu's mouth was wide open as he pounced into the pit. At the same time, Mu Xiaoling also made her move. She was waiting for this moment when she suddenly jumped up and with a movement as quick as a leopard, she turned around and kicked.

Unprepared, Shen Zhiruo was kicked right into her stomach. She was sent flying just in time to land on the pit. The next second, Gu Xiu arrived and swallowed Shen Zhiruo into his stomach.

This entire ground was filled with her, Mu Xiaoling's blood. Once the blood had been shed, she immediately chanted, "With my blood, I will offer you the Spirit of Sacrifice, the worshipping of countless beasts, and the exorcism of beasts."

Everyone was caught off guard, and by the time they could react, Mu Xiaoling had already finished reciting the last word.

A gentle white light covered the man and the fox.

This time, there was no sign of the Taotie Contract, but the white light slowly dissipated and a young man appeared.

The man wore a snow-white, wide-sleeved robe and had a cool and beautiful face. His snow-white hair was let loose on his back and there were two furry fox ears on his head.

The man carefully carried Mu Xiaoling in his arms as his amber eyes reflected her gentle expression. "Master, leave the rest to me."

Mu Xiaoling had already lost a lot of blood and was extremely weak when she forcefully made a contract. She struggled to open her eyes as her voice was as light as a feather. "What is your name?"

Gu Xiu slightly shook his head, his long silver hair rippling with his movements, "I don't have a name, please give me a name."

The corner of Mu Xiaoling's mouth twitched. "Then I'll call you Ah Xiu."

"Ah Xiu?" "I like this name. Thank you, what's the master's name?"

"Mu Xiaoling."

Everyone trembled, their faces were pale. Shen Bao forced himself to keep his weak legs up as he yelled at Gu Xiu Hu, "You … "Hurry up and return my family's Eldest Miss. Her name is Shen Zhiruo, she's your master!"

"Just that piece of trash?" Ah Xiu looked at the crowd. Once his amber eyes left his master, all that remained was indifference. "If you want it, then I'll give it back to you."

A light breeze blew, and a skinny corpse fell in front of Shen Bao. The corpse was clearly a female corpse, and its eyes were wide open, as if it didn't understand what had happened. The clothes and accessories on its head were none other than Shen Zhiruo.

However, Shen Zhiruo's current appearance only made people feel fear.

Shen Bao swallowed hard and looked at Shen Bi'er, who was beside him. However, Shen Bi'er's condition was not much better than his.

Meng Yifan was a lot calmer. "The three of us are going up together. Now that Gu Xiu has not fully recovered, if we stay any longer, I'm afraid we'll die for sure."

Shen Bao gritted his teeth and went all out, "Alright."

"Have you discussed it?" Ah Xiu raised his eyes. Even though the ancient beasts were still weak, they were not something a warrior could handle. With a wave of his hand, a cold wind blew past and in the blink of an eye, Shen Fei'er and Shen Bao were frozen to death.

Ah Xiu's voice didn't waver. "It's your turn."

"Don't kill him." Mu Xiaoling weakly opened her eyes. "Leave him alive."

"Yes, Master."

Mu Xiaoling rested for a moment before swallowing a blood-replenishing pill. He no longer needed to be carried by Ah Xiu. He walked up to Meng Yifan and asked, "How about we make a deal?"

Meng Yifan looked at her. "What kind of deal?"

Mu Xiaoling said, "I will help the Meng Family take charge of the Cloud Lai City. In exchange, the Meng Family will have to follow my orders in the future."

Meng Yifan smiled sadly, "How is this any different from the Shen family?"

"What do you think of the Meng Clan? Do you think it's better to just leave it in this Cloud Lai City or go further?"

Meng Yifan felt his heart beating faster and faster, his blood seemed to be burning, "You …" "What do you mean?"

Mu Xiaoling stared at him. "Do you want the Meng Family to stand above the rest of the kingdoms?"

He wanted to, even in his dreams!

Although this girl was young, she had the talent to drive away one in ten thousand beast. Now, she had also contracted with an Ancient Cultivator Fox. Standing above the other countries, there was no other aristocratic families that could reach such a level.

Agree.

To him, this was the only chance he had.

"Alright."
