Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 867 - 720: The Identity of Lv Qiluo

Chapter 867: Chapter 720: The Identity of Lv Qiluo

"Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Li Xuan’s eyes narrowed with curiosity as he glanced at the white fox’s flesh lying on the guillotine and its tied-up spirit, "Is it that Daji? Su Daji?"

This world had also erupted in a Divine Enthronement battle, but the details of that battle had been erased.

The historical records only mentioned characters such as King Di Xin, Daji, Wen Zhong, Bi Gan, and others.

There was also King Wu’s campaign against Zhou, and the Battle of Muye where the Zhou dynasty replaced the Shang dynasty, among others.

"How do you know this?"

Lv Qiluo looked at Li Xuan with a hint of surprise, "King Zhou’s consort, Su Daji, was indeed the body seized by this Nine-Tailed Fox. Daji indeed died, but only Su Daji died, not this Nine-Tailed Fox, ’Tushan, the Demon Fox.’"

Daji, whose surname was Ji and given name was Daji, came from the Yousu tribe, people of the Wen State.

The Yousu tribe was one of the tribes subdued by King Di Xin.

After being conquered, they had no choice but to offer their most beautiful girl, Daji, to King Di Xin in order to protect their entire tribe and their nation.

However, before Daji was offered to King Di Xin, she had already been possessed by ’Tushan, the Demon Fox.’

So indeed, King Zhou’s favored consort Su Daji, was this Nine-Tailed Fox, Tushan.

Lv Qiluo was puzzled as to how Li Xuan knew these secrets; as far as she knew, none of the histories or Taoist texts on Earth had such records.

Even before the Pre-Qin era, the Great Sage of Confucianism personally destroyed all texts related to that period of history.

The fall of the Shang Dynasty was due to King Di Xin’s brutality and foolishness, and his licentious and unruly ways.

However, Lv Qiluo did not delve deeper, aware that the individual she was attached to knew many strange things.

Perhaps there were still fragments about the Divine Enthronement battle left from the ancient times.

The First Emperor destroyed books and buried Confucian scholars, yet most of the core texts of Confucianism were still passed down, weren’t they?

Li Xuan might have seen it somewhere.

Shaking her head, she continued explaining the truth, "This demon faked her death to escape and then was active for a long time during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Until Zu Long swept through the six nations, unified the world, forcibly captured Tushan, and suppressed her beneath Taihang Mountain until today.

This demon fox was originally guarded by the Jinque Heaven Palace, and it must have been Dasiming who let her out. Who knows what benefits that woman promised Tushan to make her oppose us."

Li Xuan thought to himself, this demon fox, is it really Su Daji?

He looked up again at the Primordial Spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the sky, thinking that this demon fox didn’t seem as nationally destructive and seductive as he imagined!

But then Li Xuan recalled how yesterday, this demon fox had everyone under her Illusion Technique.

The reason he hadn’t been charmed by Tushan’s allure was probably because she wasn’t willing to give herself away and hadn’t used her charm arts on him.

"This demon was trying to seize Hanyun’s body yesterday."

Li Xuan bowed deeply to Lv Qiluo, full of gratitude, "It’s fortunate that Lady Lv intervened; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Before this, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

Jiang Hanyun also bowed with Li Xuan, looking curiously at Lv Qiluo and wondering who this woman was.

She then remembered that the incident yesterday happened precisely when she and Li Xuan were in intimacy, causing her face to flush with embarrassment again.

Jiang Hanyun was starting to regret coming along.

"To thank her? I think you’re being sold and still counting the money for her!"

At that moment, Tushan’s Primordial Spirit in the sky suddenly let out a ’giggle,’ filled with mockery, "Tushan may have once caused chaos in the world, but I never took the initiative to harm others. I was forced to do so thousands of years ago.

But the person before you, she not only repeatedly caused upheavals before the Pre-Qin Dynasty, shook the heavens and the earth, but also led to the downfall and tragic deaths of Emperor Haotian and several generations of ancient emperors."

Li Xuan couldn’t help but look at Lv Qiluo with awe and contemplation.

Lv Qiluo looked at her askance with an expressionless face, then said to Li Xuan, "You don’t actually need to thank me; I did it for myself as well. The probability of her successfully seizing a body is minuscule. Xiaowei Jiang is not Su Daji, and you are not King Zhou. Your ’Exquisite Seven Apertures Heart’ naturally suppresses her illusions, and the possibility of her deceiving you is almost nil."

Lv Qiluo then pointed upwards, "You better think about how to handle this Tushan. We can’t contain her for much longer. You have only two options now, either kill her outright or subdue her."

She then shared her opinion, "This woman is of great use, not to mention the powers of Extreme Heaven she possesses, just her people from the Tushan clan could be greatly beneficial to you. But if she insists on not submitting, then kill her directly; you must not let such a formidable enemy go."

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, naturally inclined to bring such a high-level being under his command.

But knowing his own limitations, he shook his head slightly, "Lady Lv jests, how can I subdue Tushan?"

He noticed that Fu Youde’s "Huntian Chain" was indeed restraining the Nine-Tailed Fox, but it was obviously very strenuous.

Lv Qiluo had been assisting with her Rule of Extreme Heaven, but her soul power was also continuously depleting, clearly not sustainable.

The reason why Lv Qiluo and her group had placed the flesh of the Nine-Tailed Fox on a cutting board was both as a threat and as a precaution.

If the Primordial Spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox ever escaped, they would directly chop off the demon’s flesh.

"Why can’t it be?" Lv Qiluo and Lord Tushan looked at each other from afar, a hint of mocking smile floating at the corners of her lips, "She is now only half-intact, not truly at the Extreme Heavenly Level. She cannot die, she dares not die! Otherwise, the Fox Clan of Tushan would face extinction.

Ever since Dayu’s death, they of Tushan clan have been relying entirely on her. As long as you give her a glimmer of hope for survival, you could even make her serve as a warm bed maid."

The Spirit Foxes originated from Qingqiu, and later split into Chenghuang, Qingqiu, Xinyue, and Tushan branches.

Chenghuang has already disappeared from the world, and Qingqiu and Xinyue each have their own backing. Only the Tushan lineage, after the fall of Dayu, was left with no one to rely on.

"You!"

Lord Tushan snorted angrily, struggling fiercely again which caused the chains to clang loudly, "Suiren Qiluo! You wretch, don’t let me find an opportunity, or I will definitely make you suffer endlessly!"

Li Xuan’s eyes suddenly sparkled, wondering if Suiren Qiluo was Lv Qiluo’s real name? What on earth was Lady Lv’s background?

He hoped that the Nine-Tailed Fox would continue spilling secrets, but Lord Tushan just kept repeating those few phrases.

Li Xuan could only suppress his curiosity, "But I’m worried that she might turn on her master."

"The likelihood of turning on her master is high."

Lv Qiluo actually nodded, "It all depends on how you use her. Thousands of years ago, this woman was tasked to disturb the fate of the Great Shang Kingdom. But just before the downfall of Shang, this Lord Tushan strived heart and soul to help King Zhou reverse the situation."

Li Xuan immediately understood, knowing it was a matter of loyalty and intelligence, as long as he kept Lord Tushan tightly bound, she wouldn’t think of easily leaving.

He pondered for a moment and then decisively asked the Nine-Tailed Fox, "I wonder if Lord Tushan prefers to live or die?"

The Primordial Spirit of Lord Tushan rippled, and finally, she snorted lightly, a mocking laugh appearing on her face, "Of course I want to live. If there’s a chance to survive, who in the world would choose death? The question is, what can you, a mere mortal County Prince, offer to bind me?"

But then, she saw Li Xuan reaching out his hand, taking the "Haotian Seal" into his possession.

The Primordial Spirit of Lord Tushan suddenly contracted, then suddenly looked toward the miniature "Emperor’s Palace" to the north of the Tianxingtai.

She was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Interesting! Suiren Qiluo, you’re actually planning this? You’re actually planning to build the Fourth Generation Heavenly Court? I think you’ve truly lost your mind, utterly overreaching!

Those saints above, any one of them could crush you with a flick of their finger. Do you think I would agree? To let my Tushan Clan, follow you in facing endless calamities?"

"But what’s the difference? Your Tushan Clan will either die now or die later."

Lv Qiluo coldly faced Lord Tushan, "Next year, Li Xuan will build three hundred temples in Liaodong for the ’Great Emperor of the Highest Heaven Miluo.’ The Zhengyi Sect and Quanzhen Sect have already promised to provide seven thousand taoists to serve as temple priests and judges at these ’Xuanhuang Emperor’ temples.

But besides that, each temple requires a Spiritual Beast to guard the Emperor’s offerings. I think your Tushan lineage is quite suitable."

After hearing this, Li Xuan’s mind stirred.

Indeed, quite suitable, the Fox Clan of the Tushan lineage, whether three-tailed or four-tailed, all possessed very powerful illusion Divine Skills.

And ’Illusion Technique,’ if used negatively, can provoke and incite, stir up troubles; if used positively, can also soothe people’s hearts.

Lord Tushan was clearly shaken once again, her Primordial Spirit fell silent for a long time, apparently weighing the pros and cons.

It was about a moment later when she suddenly consolidated her Primordial Spirit, manifesting the form of a woman in a white dress.

She actually smiled brightly, "Sister Suiren, why didn’t you say earlier? Although His Majesty’s road ahead in this Heavenly Court is full of thorns, I thought about it, and we can still give it a shot.

Please, Your Majesty, grant me an amnesty! But let me state first, I’m at least at the Extreme Heavenly Level, and a founding elder of this Heavenly Court, my status must not be low, Your Majesty, you must grant me the position of an Emperor."

Li Xuan was momentarily stunned, utterly surprised by Lord Tushan’s initial arrogance and subsequent deference.

But then he shook his head, took out a scroll of dragon hide, and rapidly wrote on it, "The position of Emperor is not possible, my current Divine Power cannot sustain this rank.

If one day I am fortunate enough to retrieve the complete Investiture of the Gods, then it might be possible to grant you a Marshal’s divine position, or a Devaraja’s rank. But for now, I can only grant you the title of ’Lord Shifa,’ which is equivalent to that of a Divine General. However, if Lord Tushan can establish meritorious deeds for the Heavenly Court, then granting you a title of Emperor in the future could be possible."

He knew that in the Heavenly Court, including the Sanguan Great Emperor, the Six Venerables, and the Emperors of Five Directions, those Emperors were basically at the ’Holy Heaven Level’ or even ’Divine Heavenly Level,’ ranks that are second only to the Heaven Emperor.

Lord Tushan was slightly disappointed, but didn’t refuse Li Xuan’s imperial grant. She allowed the power of the "Haotian Seal" to imprint into the depths of her Primordial Spirit.

It was just when Li Xuan’s Divine Power surged into Lord Tushan’s Primordial Spirit, Lv Qiluo glanced sideways at Li Xuan, "There’s another piece of bad news. Yesterday, I used the ’Taichu’ Divine Power, which should have alarmed some of our old adversaries."

Li Xuan didn’t feel much impact; he did not know the real identity of Lv Qiluo, nor did he know what kind of people those old adversaries of Lv Qiluo were.

But the next instant, Li Xuan heard Lv Qiluo say, "Those Emperors of the Heavens, a fair few of them are my lifelong archenemies."
