King of Creation Chapter 1974 - 1959: The Dignity of the Fox Clan (Double - )

The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, became anxious, "Since you are unwilling to let this Great Saint take action, then you three, capture the bastard who killed and hand him over to me. Let this Great Saint deal with it, and this matter will be resolved!"

The demand from the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, under the current circumstances, is reasonable to some extent, after all, Ye Zhen killed a Dao Realm of the Bear Clan.

Almost in an instant, everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Zhen, Hu Qingtong, and the three Supreme Elders.

They are all considering whether the three Supreme Elders will act to capture and then hand over Ye Zhen to the Great Saint of the Bear Clan?

At this moment, Zhu Hong, Hu Qingtong, Ling Xibi, and Wang Xiaomao all moved simultaneously, standing towards Ye Zhen’s direction.

Their meaning is clear, if the three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan really intend to capture Ye Zhen, they will advance and retreat together with Ye Zhen.

Hu Chimei watched as the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten stood over, raising her red eyebrows without hesitation, standing beside the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, next to Hu Qingtong, with an attitude that couldn’t be clearer.

However, the three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan, already having difficulty looking at Hu Qingtong, now looked even more troubled seeing these few people take a stand.

If not for Hu Qingtong’s reason, under normal circumstances, a Dao Realm of the Bear Clan dying in Tushan, from the Fox Clan’s interest point of view, it is only normal to hand over the culprit.

But Hu Qingtong is different.

When the Great Clan Leader Tushan left, he specifically instructed to handle Hu Qingtong with caution, maintaining Hu Qingtong’s sense of belonging and goodwill towards the Fox Clan.

After all, it concerns that major matter, of which the three Supreme Elders have some awareness.

If previously Ye Zhen was just an ordinary friend of Hu Qingtong, they might have done so, but now, Ye Zhen is Hu Qingtong’s husband and Chi Ling’er’s father.

So this demand cannot be agreed to at all.

Firstly, it’s naturally because of Hu Qingtong’s current importance regarding that major matter. If they capture Hu Qingtong’s husband and hand him over to the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, would Hu Qingtong still willingly serve the interests of the Fox Clan in that major matter?

Moreover, if they truly capture Ye Zhen and hand him over to the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, the blow to the cohesion and morale within the Fox Clan would be massive.

The Fox Clan is a very inclusive Demon Race. The Fox Clan doesn’t oppose tribesmen marrying women from other clans, nor does it oppose the tribe’s women marrying into other clans. These identities are recognized within the Fox Clan.

Now, the Bear Clan wants to forcefully marry Hu Qingtong, and Hu Qingtong’s husband fights to the death, yet the Fox Clan hands over the resisting husband?

If they truly do so, they would likely be subjected to vehement criticism from countless clansmen.

The Fox Clan has endured over the years by being submissive, relying on wisdom and strategy, not by betraying tribesmen or groveling to powerful demon clans.

Additionally, Hu Chimei’s stance also gives the Supreme Third Elder Tu Che a headache.

The Red Tiger King is an ally the Fox Clan has cultivated and trusted for over a thousand years. If this incident causes a rift in their relationship, it would be a great loss.

"Great Saint, in this matter, I beg your pardon for us being unable to comply!" The experienced Supreme Third Elder Tu Che spoke, and the eyes of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, immediately widened.

"Great Saint, though you have the marriage jade talisman for marrying Hu Qingtong, the authenticity of this matter is currently undetermined, and most importantly, it lacks Hu Qingtong’s personal consent, so your actions seem like a forced marriage."

"Under such circumstances, Hu Qingtong’s husband Ye Zhen’s resistance is a human reaction. This counts as a personal vendetta of yours. We old folks can at best remain neutral in this matter." Tu Che stated.

Upon hearing this, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng gestured slightly, his muscles suddenly bulging, "Fine, since it’s a personal vendetta, then all of you step aside and let this Great Saint settle this personal vendetta with Ye Zhen!"

"Great Saint, you can resolve your personal grudges, we old folks won’t intervene, but it absolutely cannot happen within Tushan! Once you leave Qingqiu Tushan, you can fight however you like, but not here!"

Saying this, the Supreme Third Elder Tu Che gave a stern look, "Also, Great Saint, your actions have caused over thirty thousand buildings in Tushan to collapse, injuring more than a hundred clansmen, and resulted in countless losses of various properties!"

"Once we assess the damages, we’ll ask that the Great Saint compensate accordingly!"

"Compensate accordingly?" The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits sneered, "It wasn’t us who intentionally caused damage; it’s your place that’s not sturdy enough. Compensate accordingly, that’s impossible!"

"No matter, if the Great Saint is unwilling to compensate, that’s also fine! However, within the next ten years, trade caravans heading to the Great Saint’s territory will reduce by 50%!

Also, goods from other caravans selling in the Great Saint’s territory will see a 30% price increase, and the purchase price of various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will be suppressed by 20%...."

With each sentence from the Fox Clan’s Supreme Third Elder Tu Che, the face of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng grew more unpleasant.

The coming and going of trade caravans represent economic prosperity and the income of this Great Saint. A 50% reduction in caravan traffic over ten years would result in a significant loss for the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits.

More crucially, an increase in sales prices by 30% and a reduction in purchase prices by 20%, this is simply...

Seventy percent of the income of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits comes from the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures produced within his territory. A 20% reduction in purchase prices means his territory’s output is directly reduced by 20%, coupled with the 30% increase in the sale prices of specialties, the loss....

What’s more critical is that the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng understands that the Fox Clan’s capability to accomplish such measures is not an empty threat.

The two strongest aspects of the Fox Clan are indeed strategy and commerce.

In the face of such a threat as being hacked with a big knife, even if the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits was unwilling, he had no choice but to bow his head at this moment.

The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits clearly understood which scenario would result in more loss!

Of course, he was very clear that the Fox Clan was only using this method of threat to regain some dignity.

"Alright..." The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits nodded helplessly, "List out the specific damages and I will compensate accordingly.

But regarding the marriage contract, you must give me an explanation. It was personally decided by your Fox Clan’s Ninth Elder Hu Buding, and you accepted the betrothal gift. We have evidence!" said the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Fox Clan members watching all displayed joyous expressions, feeling a sense of restored dignity.

This feeling is called dignity!

"About this matter, please rest assured, Great Saint, we are currently looking for the Ninth Elder. Once the Ninth Elder returns, he will certainly give the Great Saint a clear explanation," said Supreme Third Elder Tu Che, speaking with tact.

"How long until Elder Hu returns?" When dealing with the Fox Clan, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits was extremely cautious.

"It shouldn’t take long. We ask the Great Saint to wait for a few days as the Clan Leader has already gone to assist in the search," said Supreme Third Elder Tu Che, effortlessly deceiving the Great Saint.

"Fine, then I’ll wait a few days!"

After that, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits’ eyes, like copper bells, turned to Ye Zhen and shouted angrily, "Kid, if you have the guts, stay inside Tu Mountain forever and live under a woman’s skirt!"

The scene instantly became quiet, yet Ye Zhen appeared as if he hadn’t heard the Great Saint’s threat, his expression unchanged.

This made the Great Saint somewhat angry, as Ye Zhen’s demeanor wasn’t giving him any face, "Dare to kill my people, for the rest of my life, I will never coexist peacefully with you!"

Perhaps feeling that his earlier threat lacked weight, the Great Saint added another line.

This time, the threat finally prompted a reaction from Ye Zhen.

But the reaction was extremely peculiar.

A surging and ethereal spatial aura suddenly emitted from within Ye Zhen, and his originally obscure aura became clear all of a sudden.

The aura and power fluctuations of a Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm reached their peak in an instant.

That was nothing, as Ye Zhen’s Cultivation was already at the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm.

But in the next moment, after Ye Zhen’s aura reached the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm, the previously surging and ethereal spatial aura around him suddenly merged into Ye Zhen’s body.

In the next moment, Ye Zhen’s aura exploded like a breached flood, instantly surpassing the highest point of the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm, as if crossing a shackle, surpassing an obstacle, and climbed to a higher realm.

The aura of serenity and mystery combined, one that many Martial Artists present were very familiar with.

It was the power fluctuation when a Martial Artist’s Cultivation breaks through from the Dark Palace Realm to the Realm King Realm.

At this moment, Ye Zhen’s Cultivation had already broken through to the Realm King Realm, and after merging with the All Heavens Small World fragments, Ye Zhen’s Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace not only expanded more than tenfold instantly but also became more solid than before.

The expansion of the Spirit Palace brought about a void of Spiritual Power.

This is like a pond full of water suddenly turning into a lake, where the small stream that previously couldn’t fill the pond would accelerate its flow into the lake.

At this time, Ye Zhen’s Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace, which had expanded by nearly ten times, was like this. Due to the openness, during Ye Zhen’s breakthrough, with the automatic operation of the Cultivation Technique, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi madly poured into Ye Zhen’s economy.

In an instant, a Spiritual Power Tornado formed above Ye Zhen’s head, appearing particularly shocking.

Of course, this Spiritual Power Tornado was only visually shocking, with little contribution to enhancing Ye Zhen’s strength.

However, it informed everyone that Ye Zhen’s Cultivation had already broken through to the Realm King Realm.

Breakthrough during battle!

It happened during a confrontation with a Late Dao Realm Bear Clan Great Saint under threat, and this scene instantly stunned the surrounding Fox Clan and Bear Clan people.

Such a thing!

It seems that a Martial Artist doesn’t need enlightenment when breaking through to the Realm King Realm.

The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, who was threatening Ye Zhen, was almost turning green.

He was threatening Ye Zhen, yet Ye Zhen used the momentum to break through his Cultivation from the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm to the Realm King Realm.

What does it mean to ignore?

This is called ignoring!

What is called disdain?

This is called disdain!

The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits felt as if he was being slapped in the face; damn, it felt like his threat earlier was completely ignored by Ye Zhen.

However, while others were shocked, Hu Qingtong, Ling Qianbi, Zhu Hong, and Xiaomao’s group became extremely tense.

One by one, their figures shot out like lightning, flying to Ye Zhen’s front, back, left, and right, releasing their aura without reservation, glaring fiercely at the Bear Clan members, afraid they might take a cheap shot while Ye Zhen was breaking through.

Just a moment later, Hu Chimei closely followed Xiaomao’s movement and guarded by Ye Zhen’s side.

At this moment, overwhelming Divine Soul waves spread from around Ye Zhen, with Ling Qianbi and Hu Qingtong simultaneously activating their innate Divine Skills.

Ling Qianbi’s innate Divine Skill is All Living Beings Hundred Illusions; once it’s slightly displayed, those Martial Artists with lower cultivation can’t see Ye Zhen’s figure in their eyes. Upon closer inspection, a dazed expression appeared in each of their gaze, as if dreaming, and they instantly lowered their heads in shock, not daring to look directly.

In Hu Qingtong’s beautiful eyes, six dark golden mysterious runes appeared, flickering as if ready to devour others’ gaze at any moment.

Zhu Hong guarded one side of Ye Zhen, his enormous belly seeming to breathe, rhythmically moving, ready to devour any potential attacks.

Xiaomao’s movement was the oddest, yet the most intimidating.

His body shrank to palm-sized, but with a flick of his small wings, the sounds of wind and thunder flashed by, and he vanished instantly.

One should say, it wasn’t disappearing but instantly appearing in the distance, with tiger claws stirring up ripples in the void.

The so-called invincible martial power is speed.

Just now, Ye Zhen relied on speed to repeatedly escape under the hands of Great Saint Xiong Cheng of the Giant Spirits, and Xiaomao’s demonstration now bore a striking similarity.

As for Hu Chimei, she was more direct, releasing her aura and hanging the token of Princess Chimei on her waist, clearly stating her identity and attitude.

Whoever wants to harm Ye Zhen, intends to harm her, and hence become an enemy of the Red Tiger King lineage.

All this made Great Saint Xiong Cheng of the Giant Spirits squint his eyes.

Looks like this kid Ye Zhen is much more troublesome than he thought.

"Hmph, feel free to make your breakthrough; in this Saint’s eyes, there’s no difference between Realm King Realm and Dark Palace Realm!" With a cold snort, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits looked again at Supreme Third Elder Tu Che and said, "Elder Tu, arrange a place for us to stay, it should be within ten miles, no problem with that."

"This... no problem." Tu Che hesitated but agreed.

"Very well! As long as you don’t leave for a day, this Saint will keep an eye on you for a day. If you dare to let your guard down for even a moment, this Saint can tear you to shreds!"

Leaving these harsh words, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng reluctantly left.

The onlooking Fox Clan members were filled with coldness; how can there be a thousand days of catching thieves without a thousand days of keeping an eye on them?

The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits had locked horns with this Ye Zhen.

...

Even though Ye Zhen was in the midst of breaking through, he was completely aware of everything happening outside.

Seeing Hu Qingtong, Zhu Hong, Ling Qianbi, and Xiaomao coming up to protect him at all costs, Ye Zhen’s heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable wave of emotion surged in his heart.

Those who can guard by his side at this time are betting their life, as who knows if this late Dao Realm Great Saint of the Giant Spirits will seize the chance to attack.

Regarding Hu Chimei, Ye Zhen had always maintained a vigilant attitude from the beginning to now.

Even though Hu Chimei’s interest has always been in Xiaomao, Ye Zhen has been on guard.

But today, Hu Chimei continuously took a stand on Ye Zhen’s side, and Ye Zhen was still very moved.

Ye Zhen clearly understood the significance of the attitude that Princess Chimei represented for the Red Tiger King lineage.

Even though Ye Zhen knew Hu Chimei revealed her identity primarily because of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, he would remember this favor, keep it in his heart.

For this breakthrough, Ye Zhen was very surprised; it could be described as extremely unexpected.

Ye Zhen never expected to break through at this moment.

The catalyst for the breakthrough was earlier when the Little Demon devoured the Heaven and Earth Law Power from the Bear Clan Dao Realm Xiong Kaihou.

These Heaven and Earth Laws were drifting in Ye Zhen’s meridians and were unexpectedly absorbed by the All Heavens Small World Fragment, which Ye Zhen had not yet refined.

Initially, Ye Zhen did not take it seriously.

However, the World Fragment of the All Heavens Small World, which absorbed those Heaven and Earth Laws, began rapidly integrating with Ye Zhen’s Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace.

Within a few dozen breaths, it had thoroughly integrated with Ye Zhen’s Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace, not only expanding Ye Zhen’s Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace but also forming a World Core Seed within.

Earlier, Ye Zhen had just imprinted his Primordial Spirit Seal into this World Core Seed.

Now, as long as Ye Zhen wishes, this World Core Seed can appear anywhere within his body.

Furthermore, if Ye Zhen continuously inputs spiritual power and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to cultivate, this World Core Seed will grow.

Generally speaking, it’s easy for a World Core Seed to grow into a Mustard Seed Space, somewhat challenging to grow into a Mustard Seed World, but growing it into a Little World where living beings can thrive is quite difficult and incredibly resource-intensive.

Therefore, most Martial Artists’ World Core Seeds never progress beyond the Mustard Seed World.

As for the World Core Seed within Ye Zhen, based on the Fragment of the All Heavens Small World, the foundation has been laid, and it can potentially grow into an All Heavens Small World.

As for its actual potential growth, it will depend on Ye Zhen’s future efforts and cultivation.

Very soon, Ye Zhen’s aura stabilized at the Realm King Realm.

Having reached the Realm King Realm cultivation, further improvement will take a considerable amount of time.

However, it’s only stabilized at the Realm King Realm, not even reaching the Early Stage of First Stage Realm King Realm.

After the breakthrough, even with the replenishment from the Spiritual Power Tornado, Ye Zhen’s Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace was still empty.

Typically, Martial Artists use ordinary small world fragments as a basis for breaking through to expand their Spirit Palace, which can be doubled at most.

However, using All Heavens Small World fragments as the foundation for his breakthrough to the Realm King Realm, Ye Zhen expanded his Spirit Palace more th
