King of Creation Chapter 1964 - 1949: Tu Zheng’s Backup Plan

"Under the current circumstances, our best decision is to leave early, to avoid falling into the calculations of the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s Great Clan Leader, Tu Zheng, and to avoid direct conflict with him. After all, this is the stronghold of the Qingqiu Fox Clan," Ye Zhen said.

Ye Zhen’s answer was indeed straightforward. Then, Zhu Hong raised a question, "According to our previous intelligence, this Great Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan has arranged for people to monitor us. If we leave, he will surely intercept us and not let us go easily."

"I’ve considered that too! However, with Xiaomao’s speed, we can easily shake off their interception.

With Xiaomao’s speed, unless they are Dao Realm experts who are extremely skilled in spatial divine ability and speed, no ordinary Dao Realm can possibly catch up," Ye Zhen responded.

"Really?" Everyone in the room was somewhat surprised and looked at the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Xiaomao, who arrogantly turned her head, as if to say, "Believe it or not."

Only Hur Chimei looked at Xiaomao with eyes filled with admiration, making Xiaomao feel very proud.

"This has been tested before. Over a dozen Dao Realm experts, plus a Half-step Creation Realm, chased me for half a day, and Xiaomao helped me escape unscathed," Ye Zhen testified.

"What?"

Everyone in the room was instantly petrified!

Zhu Hong’s mouth fell open in amazement, "What did you do to make over a dozen Dao Realm and a Half-step Creation chase you?"

Hu Qingtong’s eyes were not only filled with shock but also had a trace of worry.

As for Hur Chimei, he was genuinely startled.

Escaping unscathed under the chase of over a dozen Dao Realm and a Half-step Creation?

What kind of formidable person must he be?

How fast must the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten be?

What shocking deeds must Ye Zhen, the owner of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, have done to warrant such treatment?

But in the next moment, Hur Chimei turned his shock into joy. The person Hur Chimei had chosen was indeed extraordinary!

Actually, for Ye Zhen, there is a better plan.

It would be to send everyone inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and then Ye Zhen could use the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, ensuring they disappear without a trace.

But the issue is, Ye Zhen can safely trust sending Zhu Hong and Hu Qingtong into the Mirage Dragon Pearl space; they are both trustworthy individuals.

However, Hur Chimei is not trustworthy.

Furthermore, Hur Chimei’s sensitive identity means that even a small part of the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s secret cannot be revealed to him.

In this scenario, they can only take the second-best option.

However, from Ye Zhen’s perspective, with Xiaomao’s speed, leaving here is a matter of certainty.

"Qingtong, time is of the essence. Check if there’s anything else to pack. It’s best we leave early." After all, this is the stronghold of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and there are several Dao Realm peaks here.

"We can set off now. We’ve already packed what we could during the day," Hu Qingtong replied.

"Then let’s go!"

A few breaths later, amidst a low tiger roar, Xiaomao carried everyone up into the sky, quickly transforming into a stream of light in the night sky, far away.

Almost simultaneously, a stream of light descended rapidly from the sky, glanced into Hu Qingtong’s courtyard, and hurriedly sent out a talisman light.

The talisman light fell into the hands of Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao, in the Great Clan Leader Residence at the Qingqiu Tomb in the center of Tu Mountain.

Looking at the situation in his hands, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao surprisingly didn’t seem worried at all. He leisurely smiled, finished the tea in his cup, and only then took the talisman communication to see his father, Great Clan Leader Tu Zheng.

"They ran away?"

After receiving this news, Tu Zheng, the Great Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, didn’t seem anxious but rather confused. "Chiling’er hasn’t been found, and they quietly ran away. Do they not care about Chiling’er?"

"This shouldn’t be possible. Hu Qingtong considers Chiling’er as precious."

"What’s going on then? Could it be they rescued Chiling’er? What about Hu Buding’s residence? Is there any movement?" Tu Zheng queried.

"After Hu Buding’s heirs, grandchildren, and daughter were abducted, there has been no further movement," Tu Jinggao responded.

"There must have been something that happened during all of this."

After a brief contemplation, Great Clan Leader Tu Zheng made a decision, "Ignore it for now. You take people to block them and bring four Grand Saint-level clansmen. I’ll send someone to investigate Hu Buding’s place."

"Understood."

However, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao didn’t leave immediately, instead, he asked, "Father, if they’ve discovered something, they certainly won’t want to return. If they refuse to come back, how should I handle it?"

"Do I need to teach you this? I sent you with four Grand Saint-level clansmen, not for you to show off," Tu Zheng scolded.

In the Demon Race, the term Grand Saint has two meanings. One is the broader definition of Dao Realm experts. Generally, all Dao Realm experts in the Demon Race can be considered Grand Saints.

The other is the narrower definition, referring to the truly mighty ones among the Demon Race Dao Realm, those grand saints with titles.

"I understand, Father," Tu Jinggao hurriedly left.

"Remember, even if we take action, we must uphold the righteous cause. Our Qingqiu Fox Clan surely supported them, the orphans and widows, for nearly ten years. Do you understand?"

Tu Zheng reminded once more, and Tu Jinggao’s distant response came from outside the door.

The speed of Xiaomao was undoubtedly extremely fast.

Especially under such urgent circumstances, Xiaomao immediately accelerated to an incredibly high speed, reaching four hundred thousand miles per hour. Any further acceleration would reach its maximum speed.

However, for the time being, no pursuers had been detected, so Xiaomao did not push the speed to its limit.

The scope of Qingqiu was quite broad, but Tu Mountain within Qingqiu was not large. With Xiaomao’s speed, it didn’t take long to fly to the edge of Tu Mountain.

As long as they left the range of Tu Mountain, Ye Zhen and his party would be more than halfway to safety.

The Qingqiu Fox Clan’s control over Tu Mountain was still very strong, but once outside Tu Mountain, their control over Qingqiu diminished the farther they went.

Seeing that they were about to leave the range of Tu Mountain smoothly, Ye Zhen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Xiaomao’s speed suddenly plummeted.

It was like an abrupt brake, causing Ye Zhen, Hu Qingtong, and the others sitting on Xiaomao’s back to involuntarily lurch forward.

Ye Zhen, Hu Qingtong, Zhu Hong, and others were fine, having cultivation, their bodies instinctively reacted as they quickly stabilized themselves when the incident occurred.

But Chi Ling’er, who was playing on Xiaomao’s back, was flung towards the Wind-Breaking Barrier at the back due to the massive inertia.

This scene nearly scared Hu Qingtong out of her soul, but fortunately, Ye Zhen reacted swiftly. Before Chi Ling’er collided, his palm had already pressed against the Wind-Breaking Barrier, emitting layers of soft, cotton-like spiritual power to dissolve the terrifying impact layer by layer, ultimately allowing Chi Ling’er to land safely into Ye Zhen’s palm.

"Xiaomao, what happened?"

Ye Zhen did not blame the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten. Having been together with Xiaomao for so many years, Ye Zhen knew Xiaomao would never joke like this with him, and such a situation meant there was only one possibility, Xiaomao encountered an unexpected situation.

Xiaomao’s voice was labored, clearly, the previous situation had left him in a sorry state.

"Master, I don’t know what happened either. The space in front of me suddenly became extremely... viscous.

It was as if the void ahead wasn’t filled with air but was filled with endless mud, rendering my speed incredibly slow," Xiaomao said.

"Is that so? Let me see?"

Ye Zhen left Xiaomao’s back, and as soon as he stepped off, an indescribable feeling of constraint came from all directions, making even taking a single step extremely difficult.

"What’s going on here?"

Ye Zhen was full of doubt, and then he was even more shocked when he tried to activate Wind Flash and Sweep but couldn’t get it to activate at all.

Just like Xiaomao said, it was as if he was trapped in extremely thick and heavy mud, only able to slowly worm forward.

Afterwards, Ye Zhen attempted to activate the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape to see if he could leave this place using the escape skill.

After several attempts, Ye Zhen was almost dumbfounded.

The Innate Five Elements Divine Escape was ineffective.

Since mastering the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, the only place where it failed to work was the Imperial City of Luoyi in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But now, this inexplicably strange area had rendered Ye Zhen’s Innate Five Elements Divine Escape ineffective.

"Xiaomao, try using your Void-Breaking Divine Power to see if you can use the Spatial Divine Ability to leave here," Ye Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Alright!"

A few breaths later, Xiaomao’s somewhat frustrated voice sounded, "Master, this space is too strange. That viscous force not only prevents me from exerting my speed, it also acts like a peculiar barrier, severing my connection with the void, leaving me no opportunity to break through the void."

Ye Zhen’s expression grew solemn.

No wonder their departure had been so smooth and no one had pursued them after so long; the real threat was hidden here.

Yet, the power here was so bizarre that Ye Zhen couldn’t even identify the nature of this viscous, mud-like force.

"What happened, Brother Ye?" Sensing something amiss, Hu Qingtong and Zhu Hong emerged, and the moment they stepped out, they immediately noticed the anomaly here.

Hu Qingtong’s expression suddenly became odd.

"Qing Tong, did you discover something?"

"Brother Ye, if I’m not mistaken, this might very well be the exclusive grand formation inherited within the Fox Clan from ancient times, the Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation," Hu Qingtong said.

"Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation? What’s its origin? Is there a way to break it?" Ye Zhen hurriedly asked.

Hu Qingtong slowly shook her head, "This Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation is inherited from ancient times. I only know of it but not the method to break it."

"Achou, do you know of this Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation?" When Ye Zhen asked Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, his gaze shifted to the rear, where several streams of light were swiftly approaching.

"The pursuers are here."
