58 They will Fight the Villains for Us
It was only half an hour of nightmare punishment, and almost two hundred powerhouses had already suffered severe mental damage. Some of them had already passed out with foam coming out of their mouths.
Ely's also drained 99.99% of the offenders' spiritual energy as revenge. That way, those bad guys wouldn't pose a significant threat even if they woke up later.
Inside the illusion, hundreds of super strong demon foxes were devouring those people alive and tearing the prey to pieces, just like a bunch of hungry beasts devouring their prey.
What the others could see were those experts screaming in agony. No one knew what they were going through, but it was horrifying.
"Ugh, this kind of petty trick won't mean anything!" Grieved Panda managed to break out of that terrible illusion.
"Shut up." Ely smacked the old panda with her Gohei. Her performance needed to be prepared, and the troublemaker must be sent unconscious first.
"Splurt!" Grieved Panda accidentally bit his tongue. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell like a broken doll.
Ely's disciples took the storage pouches from the surrounding experts for safekeeping. They gathered those people in several rows, but it became like rows of natural disaster victims.
After that, Ely deactivated her Illusory Paradise Talisman. The half- frozen experts were freed from the terrible nightmare illusion a few seconds later.
They regained consciousness, but they still didn't look sober. The experience they had just been through was too terrifying. It was as if they had died, been revived, then killed again as food for hundreds of monstrous demon foxes.
"Evildoers, it was just a demonstration of what might await you. The Fox God is angry. Fortunately, the Fox God is merciful. You are getting a second chance to turn over a new leaf." Ely spread her hands over a wooden box, exuding a holy aura to the hundreds of frightened experts.
It was like a messiah giving her revelations to enlighten the lost little lambs.
"Fox God is angry!"
"Please forgive us, Lord Fox God!"
"We'll never touch any fox-kin ever again!"
"Please don't kill me!"
"Amen, amen!"
The shadow fox standing in a T pose before them seemed to shine brightly like a messenger from heaven. Hundreds of powerhouses couldn't help but kneel and beg for mercy.
"Fox God will spare you, but you must prevent fox hunting. Fox God doesn't want any fox-kin to be hunted as prey again. Repeat over me! Foxes are friends! Not food or furnace!" Ely shouted her hypnotic suggestion with enthusiasm.
"Foxes are friends! Not food or furnace!"
Hundreds of experts, even the unhypnotized ones, repeated Ely's words with passion. They believed they had to do that to gain the Fox God's mercy.
Moments later, Ely snapped her fingers.
"Will it work?" Yuuki whispered softly.
"I don't know. This is my first time trying the hypnosis technique. However, the effect will be realistic since it was done right after the nightmare illusion." Ely also answered in a soft whisper. She wasn't too sure, but she hoped it would work.
"Well..." Yuuki scratched her head.
Several experts were frightened when they found two foxes nearby. They then begged for mercy, swore not to hunt any fox-kin, and would stop any fox hunting. However, a particular expert tried to assault the fox sisters out of spite and anger.
"Demon Vixen! Argh! I will drag you down to hell with me! Not even the Fox God can stop me!" Fiery Bear tried to catch the shadow fox.
The torture he experienced and the hypnotic suggestions carved into his spirit were insufficient to rewrite the grudge that filled his heart.
*Slap!*
Yuuki used her ice to slap the insane bear hard on the cheek. He was sent flying and spat out a mouthful of blood, trembling on the ground with a hateful look.
"This is the umpteenth time I give mercy to you. I should kill you here, but my little sister has other intentions. Be grateful, but I will kill you the next time you dare to offend us.offIcial website n0veIfuIIb00k Whether it's your sect or the entire world, I don't mind purging the ant like you if necessary." Yuuki declared her threat loud and clear.
"Arrogant!" Grieved Panda stood up. He took out several hidden killing artifacts with his trembling hands.
However, all of them were already frozen by Yuuki's heavenly ice and shattered into pieces.
The surrounding experts immediately ganged up on the Fiery Bear and Grieved Panda to protect the fox-kin, or the Fox God would be furious and kill them painfully.
Fiery Bear and Grieved Panda were battered, but they managed to escape the encirclement by sheer luck.
"You don't even know a thing about us. I'm the Celestial Fox, the future Fox Goddess. I have the strength to back it up." Yuuki created a needle of extreme ice.
"You had a chance for a new leaf because of my little sister, but you ignored our mercy." Yuuki released her ice needle.
*Swoosh*
It flew at supersonic speed, pierced the Fiery Bear's dantian, and shattered it into tiny pieces.
"Argh!" Fiery Bear screamed in pain but soon became a high- pitched scream of despair.
He previously went into despair because of the loss of his cultivation and the strength he painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years.
Then, he regained his power again because his dantian was healed. And yet, the current agony was beyond terrifying as his dantian was utterly destroyed with no chance of repair.
The pain was tremendous, but he was still forced to stay conscious to feel the hopelessness.
"My nephew!" Grieved Panda immediately went to his nephew's side. His nephew's dantian had disappeared into bits of ice. So, his nephew was crippled once again, but there was no longer any chance to cultivate.
"You are so vicious. I swore I would exact this revenge in the name of my dao and soul!" Grieved Panda raised his hand high, and the sky answered with rumbling thunder.
"Kekeke, it's truly a spectacle to watch. To see you all suffer. The Tiangong Sacred Land is only so-so." The muscular red lion landed nearby, followed by dozens of experts.
"The Lion Emperor of the north!? If I were in my prime condition, your insignificant Form Synthesis Realm power would pose no threat. You dare to be arrogant in front of me?" Grieved Panda stood up and summoned his treasured sword.
"Unfortunately, many people want you to suffer or die. Do you think we'll let you do as you please in someone else's territory? Not to mention, you offended people you shouldn't offend.
One is a Great Ascension Realm expert, and the other is an S Rank alchemist. Even if they are fox-kin, the world will not dare to offend them." The Lion Emperor smirked. His other allies soon landed from the sky to surround the site.
They were people from renowned sects and prominent clans who wanted the Tiangong Sacred Land and its accomplices to suffer.
"S Rank alchemist? Then-" Fiery Bear muttered with difficulty. He finally understood the entire situation.
The previous Super-tier healing potion was concocted by that shadow fox.
He lost hope, then gained it, but it was crushed again. Nothing is more painful than someone who has just risen from adversity but is immediately faced with another despair.
Fiery Bear coughed out a lot of blood and fainted right away.
"What are you all going to do then?" Grieved Panda knew this situation was a dead end. He intended to blow himself up and drag as many people as possible with him to hell, especially those fox sisters.
"You may go." Ely replied in a gentle and peaceful tone.
"Eh?" The Lion Emperor and hundreds of other experts widened their eyes in shock. They came to help and fawned over the powerful fox sisters, but the younger fox just let the villains go?
"Young shadow fox, do you want to let the villains go and exact revenge in the future? It's not just you... they will definitely target your loved ones too." The Lion Emperor rubbed his head in confusion.
"They better come fully prepared. Otherwise, they'll wash their necks. Also, I don't believe you came purely to assist us." Ely shook her head.
Her suggestion failed to influence one person due to his obsession with the fox girl. The possible yet questionable allies came right after everything was finished.
She felt a bit nervous because there were already so many experts in her surroundings. However, she remained firm and tough with no room for weakness as she had put all the pieces together.
"Kekeke, hahaha! Your sister is arrogant, but the young fox is more arrogant than her witch sister. You little piece of shit, you haven't even seen the broader horizon and the greater worlds, and yet, you dare to say that you will eliminate my holy land!?" Grieved Panda laughed out loud as it amused him.
"For someone with a dry lifespan and a few years left to live, you sure like to talk nonsense. You can't fathom our capabilities, not to mention our background. Scram before I change my mind." Ely retreated back to Yuuki's side.
".." Grieved Panda went silent. If he didn't leave immediately, the surrounding forces would make him miserable, and his life would be in danger.
It was true... Everyone underestimated their opponent. They thought the only threat was the 9th Rank Celestial Fox, but they were wrong. The fox sisters were powerful, and the Celestial Fox had already broken through to the 10th Rank!
Grieved Panda turned around to leave as he carried his dying nephew, but he suddenly stopped. "Shadow fox, Are you the mastermind behind the mysteriously disappearing experts in the last two days?"
"I guess.... They're in Frozen Cloud's hands. If you want those bold offenders back, you'd better pay them a handsome ransom." Ely tapped her chin in wonder.
"!!!" The Frozen Cloud's people gasped. They immediately questioned their holy saintess for an explanation.
"Is that so?" Grieved Panda glanced at other forces as he could guess what his people might be going through. He considered those spies as good as dead but would check who killed them when he returned to his sect.
'Is this going to be okay?' Yuuki expressed her concern via telepathy.n)-OvelbIn
'It's okay. We are not easy prey, but we will not be the first target when they take their revenge. Many people will help us to fight them for us. Our purpose is to gain allies for fox-kin's good sake! Ely grasped Yuuki's arm.
'Alright then, I believe you. After we get lots of useful pawns, we can go straight to that sacred land and crush them! Yuuki heaved a subtle sigh.
Ely and her little group then walked away, but the Lion Emperor immediately called out from behind. "Please wait."
