King of Creation Chapter 1965 - 1950: The Fox Returns to Its Ancestral Hill

Seeing pursuers approaching, Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong were not in a hurry.

Holding Chi Ling’er, they moved back slowly through the void, like turtles, from this mire-like place.

This Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation seems to have a range, as only a few meters were intruded by a kitten earlier.

Since the pursuers have arrived, it’s best to first leave this formation’s range; otherwise, staying within it makes Ye Zhen and his company easy targets.

Fortunately, the range of this formation is fixed.

Ye Zhen and his group had managed to intrude a mere two or three meters, and as they retreated a few meters, they immediately felt lighter, no longer struggling as in a quagmire, thus freeing themselves.

"Lord Ye, have you ever heard the saying ’a fox dies at the hill’?" Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou’s voice sounded in Ye Zhen’s mind.

"I’ve heard it. What’s up?"

"It’s said that the high-ranking Fox Clan member who created the Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation, did so based on these four words, crafting a formation that remains a headache for countless people across the heavens and myriad worlds.

At the same time, this formation is also known as the Fox Clan’s final sanctuary, saving them during several catastrophic events in the heavens; if not for their self-destruction, the Fox Clan’s strength wouldn’t be lesser than the Tiger Clan’s now," Achou said.

"Based on ’a fox dies at the hill’?" Ye Zhen furrowed his brow, somewhat perplexed, "Is there a way to break it?"

"There’s no way to break it. The old man mentioned occasionally that this formation is formed from the beliefs of countless Fox Clan members, throughout history, and can only be broken by force! The stronger the power, the less it will be affected by it," Achou said.

"A fox dies at the hill? Formed from beliefs?" Ye Zhen vaguely began to understand the reason behind this Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation and why even his Innate Five Elements Divine Escape was ineffective.

Just then, the pursuing figures arrived in front of Ye Zhen and his companions.

A total of five—led by Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao, yet the aura of the other four made everyone’s expression turn heavy.

Dao Realm!

Four Dao Realm!

This shows how much Clan Leader Tu Zheng values Hu Qingtong, directly deploying four Dao Realm individuals.

The more they value it, the greater their schemes.

"Hu Qingtong, do you truly have a conscience? My father kindly sheltered and protected you and your daughter for nearly a decade, wanting to see you one last time before you left, and this is how you repay my father?"

Upon arrival, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao snorted coldly, condescendingly reprimanding Hu Qingtong with accusations.

No matter what, Hu Qingtong indeed received Clan Leader Tu Zheng’s protection in the past. Even though she knew of Tu Zheng’s true nature, she still felt a tinge of guilt.

Seeing Hu Qingtong remain silent, Tu Jinggao’s tone was filled even more with accusation.

"My father even burned his Origin Essence Blood, rushing from millions of miles away to see you in the morning, yet you planned to leave secretly. Such ingratitude! Hu Qingtong, you should examine your conscience..."

"Silence!"

Ye Zhen interrupted Tu Jinggao’s accusations with a thunderous shout, "Tu Jinggao, stop using these sanctimonious words! Are you not aware of the true faces of your father and yourself?

A bunch of hypocrites pretending to be righteous, and you have the audacity to accuse Qing Tong?"

Ye Zhen’s angry rebuke made Tu Jinggao somewhat uneasy, his expression suddenly darkening, "Surely it’s you, a foreigner, who’s bewitched Hu Qingtong, causing her to perform such acts of ingratitude. Men, seize him!"

Almost as Tu Jinggao finished speaking, one Dao Realm Early Stage Martial Artist behind him swiftly charged towards Ye Zhen, aiming to capture him alive.

"Just you?" Ye Zhen sneered slightly.

"A boy at the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm dares to talk big..."

Almost as they spoke, this Dao Realm from the Fox Clan lunged at Ye Zhen, but bizarrely, Ye Zhen didn’t dodge or evade the attack.

Only until the Fox Clan Dao Realm’s palm shadow was about to land on Ye Zhen’s shoulder did Ye Zhen flick a finger lightly.

A dark green vine whip appeared out of nowhere, fiercely striking the Fox Clan Dao Realm.

The moment Little Demon transformed into the dark green vine whip, the Fox Clan Dao Realm’s complexion changed.

At such close distance, the Fox Clan Dao Realm couldn’t escape Little Demon’s solid strike.

Crash!

The whip strike exploded into a small wave of Spiritual Power, causing the Fox Clan Dao Realm’s body to sway, but then a strange scream sent him retreating while fully slashing at the vine whip stuck on his arm with a Spirit Blade.

The vine whip transformed by Little Demon quickly retracted, but the retreating Fox Clan Dao Realm’s face turned pale.

Just a moment’s time, his cultivation was drained by one ten-thousandth.

One might claim that one ten-thousandth is a minimal number, but for someone like him who spent thousands of years cultivating to breakthrough into Dao Realm, one ten-thousandth represents months of arduous cultivation.

And this was only within that instant, if prolonged by a few more moments, his lost cultivation wouldn’t be measured in months but years, or even decades.

The loss would be substantial!

"What’s going on?" Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao looked displeased.

Originally thinking of capturing Ye Zhen alive to persuade Hu Qingtong back, he didn’t expect his subordinate Dao Realm to fail.

"Grand Young Master, this boy’s green whip is peculiar, wielding Dao Realm aura, and can devour my cultivation instantly."

Once the Fox Clan Dao Realm explained, the expressions of the other three Dao Realms changed.

They didn’t fear the battle.

But having their long-cost, hard-earned cultivation devoured would mean immense loss.

Who would dare be careless?

"Dao Realm able to devour cultivation?" Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao’s expression turned peculiar, wholly unprepared for Ye Zhen to possess such a trump card.

Ye Zhen’s face darkened, as the dark green vine whip transformed by Little Demon extended from his shoulder, elbow, and back, making him appear like a vine whip monster.

But this appearance caused the Dao Realms enormous apprehension.

Tu Jinggao, after all, groomed by Great Clan Leader Tu Zheng in Qingqiu Fox Clan, quickly devised a countermeasure.

"With a Dao Realm, and a devouring divine skill, don’t think we can’t handle you! Since you’re set on taking away Hu Qingtong, we won’t stick to the rules.

All four, at once, if resisted, kill without mercy!" Tu Jinggao directly ordered the siege.

This changed Ye Zhen’s expression, directly facing four Dao Realms, something he wasn’t confident enough to withstand.

"Wait, Grand Young Master, I’m not being taken away, I’m willing," Hu Qingtong hastily said.

"Willingly claimed can also be misleading," Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao sneered.

Facing off against four, even with abundant All Living Beings’ Will Power as backing, wouldn’t suffice, particularly as Ye Zhen still needed to protect Hu Qingtong and Chi Ling’er.

More importantly, Ye Zhen hadn’t yet discovered a way through this Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation.

This was the biggest trouble.

Without finding a way through, even pouring endless All Living Beings’ Will Power to kill the four Dao Realms before him wouldn’t gain any advantage besides inviting more formidable Dao Realm opponents.

Put plainly, given the current situation, it wasn’t time to break ties yet. In an instant, Ye Zhen made a decision, and with a spiritual gesture gave Hu Qingtong a Divine Soul Telecommunication.

The next moment, just as Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao was about to order four Dao Realm to shamelessly besiege Ye Zhen, Hu Qingtong suddenly spoke.

"Alright, Grand Young Master, we’ll return with you and wait for the Clan Leader to return!" Hu Qingtong said.

Tu Jinggao’s expression carried slight surprise, but he nodded nonetheless, "That’s right."
