Chapter 309: Chapter 200 The Use of Divine Evil

Under the moonlight, foxes wailed mournfully, followed by the cries of other beasts.

It was a scene that truly shook one to the core.

Li Yan and the others stood aside, watching in silence for a long time.

Finally, this unique funeral reached its conclusion.

As the old fox howled, the surrounding yin winds grew stronger, ghostly fires drifted back and forth, and fog enveloped everything, making the moonlight seem dense and heavy.

The nearby wild beasts, as if pardoned, dispersed one after the other.

Their spirituality was still insufficient; they had only come under the coercion of the ghost fox, and once the event concluded, they naturally fled the site swiftly.

As the yin fog dispersed, the body of the Fox Immortal vanished without a trace.

Li Yan and the others understood that the foxes must have hidden the corpse somewhere to prevent it from being tampered with.

After all, the skin of a Fox Immortal was undoubtedly a material for crafting Magic Artifacts.

At the same time, foxes big and small also scattered and left.

"This...this is it?"

Sha Lifei scratched his head, somewhat disappointed.

However, as soon as he spoke, the ghost fox reappeared, standing on a raised platform, glanced at them, then leapt down and headed southeast.

Every few steps, it would stop and look back, as if beckoning them to follow.

"This is telling us to follow, let’s go!"

Li Yan, intrigued, led everyone to follow closely behind.

As Wang Daoxuan had previously mentioned, they headed southeast, and after climbing a steep slope, they indeed discovered something peculiar halfway up the mountain.

There was a small mound surrounded by tall trees, with tree roots protruding from the ground, and some collapsed stone figures and horses around, covered in moss and blur.

In the center of the mound, there was a dark cave entrance.

"Indeed, there’s a tomb!"

Wang Daoxuan whispered, "This place is a Fengshui treasure site. Foxes like to reside in tombs, probably someone was buried here, and it was taken as a cave dwelling by the Fox Immortal."

"What did it bring us here for?"

Sha Lifei asked, his eyes lighting up suddenly, "Could there be gold and silver treasures in the cave, to be given to us?"

While speaking, the old ghostly fox had already reached the cave opening, continually looking back and muttering in the upper language.

After listening, Lv San seemed somewhat stunned but still gritted his teeth and followed into the cave.

Li Yan and the others, curious, followed closely behind.

The cave of the Fox Immortal was indeed vast, likely the result of foxes digging up graves, combined with tree growth that wreaked havoc, revealing the entire tomb path.

On both sides of the entrance, there were thick bricks and stones.

The group entered, and indeed it was a tomb chamber, quite clean around, with all items already moved away.

Empty, with no signs of an ancient tomb to be found.

Only in the center of the tomb chamber, there was a large coffin.

The coffin was ancient, and even though it was made from the finest Phoebe wood and luxurious lacquer, it was still somewhat decayed.

There was a large hole broken in the top of the coffin lid.

From inside, subtle sobbing could be heard.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan immediately understood what was happening and smiled, "Brother Lv, your opportunity has arrived, why not step forward."

Lv San scratched his head and walked forward carefully, gingerly lifting a small white fox from the hole in the coffin.

The Little Fox wasn’t big, its body still trembling, but it possessed significant spirituality, lying fearlessly in his arms, instead staring back with a pair of bright, black eyes, whimpering at the old fox nearby.

"Giggling..."

The old ghostly fox uttered a few sentences in the upper language, reluctantly glanced at the Little Fox, then leaped out of the cave and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Congratulations, Brother Lv."

Wang Daoxuan stroked his beard and smiled, "This is the child of the Fox Immortal, extraordinary in spirituality. Nurture it well, and it will surely be a great help in the future."

Lv San, holding the Little Fox in his arms, showed that pure smile on his face again, "I quite like this little creature."

Saying this, he looked towards the cave entrance, his expression turning grave, "The old ghostly fox also mentioned some news. In the distant forests, someone is capturing the elves and demons of the mountains, and an even more sinister aura is spreading."

"They are frightened and plan to move north, probably settling in Qinling, a long journey, unable to care for this little one."

"Something major has surely happened in this forest..."

...

The chirping of birds and sunlight from the window slowly woke Li Yan.

He stretched leisurely, dressed, and went to the window.

The continuous rain of recent days had stopped, the sky had cleared, blue skies and white clouds, with sunshine illuminating vitality throughout the ancient small town.

After a busy night, he had returned to the inn just as dawn was breaking.

He felt somewhat weary and had slept until nearly noon.

Casually picking up the teapot on the table, he drank several cups of water, then took out the Hook Paper, checking it while frowning deeply.

Suppressing that strand of Demonic Qi had indeed earned a reward.

He could feel that inside the Hook Paper now, there were seven swirling energies.

Six were icy cold, representing the Astral Orders of yin soldiers, each capable of summoning a battalion of five hundred yin soldiers—six commands equating to three thousand troops.

These yin soldiers were official soldiers of the Yin Bureau, far superior to any Rampaging Soldier, and according to the Ghost Law, were comparable to the Mystical Sect’s Lu Soldiers, with extremely potent combat abilities.

And these were just the most ordinary troops.

There had once been powerful living Yin messengers who could summon Ghost Generals.

It must have been that kind of terrifying presence they encountered last night.

With his Divine Skills, he was unable to detect the other party’s presence.

The remaining one was even more astonishing.

Though it was Yin Evil Qi, it was a higher level of force.

According to the Yin Bureau, this was the Divine Evil Energy.

If not concealed within the Hook Paper, he, with his Divine Skills, likewise would not have detected it.

It was indeed the reward for last night’s mission!

Li Yan carefully sensed this force, finding it mysterious. Although it was Yin Evil Qi, it brought no chill but instead a refreshing comfort.

As a reward from the Yin Bureau, this energy was certainly not ordinary.

Now, Li Yan faced two choices.

One was to merge it into a Magic Artifact, such as the Divine Tiger Token; with this energy, the power of the artifact would surely increase.
