King of Creation Chapter 1968 - 1953: Owe You a Hundred Bows

According to Tu Mountain, the Yuan Dan upheaval a hundred thousand years ago, the war that lasted for centuries, left indelible scars on their Fox Clan.

Among the Fox Clan, the bloodline of the Tushan Clan was the most noble, the kings within the Fox Clan.

Within the Tushan Clan, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was the pinnacle.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox possessed the most original and noble bloodline of the Fox Clan and was the most likely to break through to the Dao Realm, even becoming a creation-level existence within the Fox Clan, and a protector of the tribe.

However, during the upheaval of Yuan Dan a hundred thousand years ago, Tu Shanyun, the only one in the Fox Clan with the Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and the protector of the tribe at the time, fell in battle.

Subsequently, the holy land of the Fox Clan, Tu Mountain, suffered catastrophic destruction, turning into ruins, and even the fundamental Qingqiu Tomb was shattered.

The youngest elder of the Fox Clan at that time, seeing the dire situation, hid away with what remained of the Qingqiu Tomb, and only after the Yuan Dan war ended, allied with a demon king to strategize.

After achieving great merits, this elder of the Fox Clan brought up the idea of reestablishing the ancestral land of the Fox Clan, leading to the current Qingqiu and Tu Mountain.

However, it was no longer the original Tu Mountain, merely a replica crafted by mana.

Thankfully, through the efforts of this elder, Tu Mountain was rebuilt, but the most noble and original bloodline of the Tushan Clan vanished.

During that great upheaval, enemies nearly leveled Tu Mountain, and the Tushan Clan’s bloodline was nearly eradicated.

The elder who rebuilt the ancestral land of the Fox Clan spent his life searching for the bloodline of the Tushan Clan, finding a few branches, but the blood was mixed, and the Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was scarcely present.

The reason for searching for the bloodline of the Tushan Clan was simple: to find the lost fragments of the Qingqiu Tomb, it was necessary to use the Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox from the Tushan Clan, to sense the whereabouts of other parts of the Qingqiu Tomb with a secret technique.

Moreover, even if found, it required the original bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox from the Tushan Clan to activate the secret technique and retrieve the scattered fragments of the Qingqiu Tomb.

As of now, Hu Qingtong was the only member of the Fox Clan with the Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and had already manifested six tails.

According to Tu Zheng, this was the most tails manifested by the Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox in a hundred thousand years.

"But, I don’t have the surname Tushan, my surname is Hu." Hu Qingtong was still somewhat puzzled.

"The surname is unimportant. What matters is you have the Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox capable of retrieving the Qingqiu Tomb, and that’s enough.

Furthermore, by the looks of you, your cultivation is still low, and in the future, manifesting seven, eight tails is possible." Tu Zheng said.

"Clan Leader, didn’t you say the Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was extinct? Then I....." Hu Qingtong looked puzzled.

"It’s hard to say; bloodline inheritance is extremely complex. In some cases, a person may be born with an innate awakening of part of their ancestor’s bloodline. You might be such a case.

Your appearance is a great fortune for our Fox Clan!"

At this point, Tu Zheng sighed, "The moment you appeared and the old man discovered you could manifest six tails, I was ecstatic with joy!

But, with a young Chi Ling’er unable to leave your side, and your cultivation still low, the old man hasn’t made a fuss.

I intended to discuss it with you when Chi Ling’er was older, never expecting you to leave, hence the misunderstanding yesterday."

"Clan Leader, this matter concerns...."

"No need to speak, the old man understands!" Tu Zheng stopped Hu Qingtong with one hand, "Things are significant, and the old man does not want to impose or be in haste, providing ample time for your consideration."

At this, a Talisman Light descended from the sky into Tu Zheng’s hand, and after a glance, Tu Zheng continued talking to Hu Qingtong calmly.

Ye Zhen and others didn’t mind; it was normal for a clan leader to receive a few Talisman Communications while discussing matters.

"These Qingqiu Tomb fragments, scattered over countless years, have shown some clues, and recently a new discovery arose.

After our conversation, the old man will set off for a few days to explore the area, but before that, I must say a few words to Qing Tong." Saying this, Tu Zheng stood up, looking serious.

"The timing of the Qingqiu Tomb’s hidden danger is hard to predict, but the old man hopes, whether for Chi Ling’er or for our Fox Clan’s billions of tribesmen, please consider this matter carefully, Qing Tong.

Moreover, there might be danger in retrieving the Qingqiu Tomb, but the old man swears that during the search, no matter the danger, only if the old man perishes can harm befall Qing Tong; lastly..."

Suddenly, Tu Mountain stepped back, his legs bent, and he knelt before Hu Qingtong.

Both Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong were taken aback, but Hu Qingtong quickly reacted, rushing forward to help, "Clan Leader, what are you doing? Qing Tong cannot accept your bow anyhow; rise quickly."

"You can accept!"

"Absolutely can accept it!"

"Your single existence holds the future hopes of billions in the Fox Clan, preventing us from becoming ignorant beasts, not just deserving one bow, but a thousand or ten thousand." Saying this, Tu Zheng knelt again.

Hu Qingtong refused, using all his strength to block Tu Zheng.

After a moment, Tu Zheng sighed, "Fine, if Qing Tong refuses, the old man won’t impose, lest the ceremony weighs heavy and influences Qing Tong’s decisions.

But should our Fox Clan avoid this catastrophe, all within the clan owe Qing Tong a hundred bows!"

"Well, the old man leaves to determine another Qingqiu Tomb fragment location now, take your time considering, Qing Tong."

After speaking, Tu Zheng gently patted Hu Qingtong’s shoulder, turned, and briskly left Hu Qingtong’s courtyard.

Nearing the gate, Tu Zheng suddenly turned back toward Hu Qingtong, "Qing Tong, upon the old one’s return, I hope you’ve decided, but no matter your decision, even if you’re unwilling, the old man will... not blame you!"

Giving a slight bow to Ye Zhen and Zhu Hong, Tu Zheng transformed into a flowing light and sped toward the sky, swiftly disappearing into the distance.

Leaving Ye Zhen and Zhu Hong standing, their expressions confused and gloomy.

Leaving behind Hu Qingtong, whose demeanor turned heavy, seeming as though this moment lay a billion-pound mountain upon Hu Qingtong’s shoulders.
