Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1254 - 81: Set Up

The worst was yet to come, and the women had not even caught their breath.

A pack of roaring Fire Spot Wolves charged into the camp, their fury akin to berserk dragons, spewing flames and turning the Sky Fox Camp into ashes in no time.

Just as one wave subsided, another arose. As the Fire Spot Wolves attacked, a tide of Soul-devouring Iron Bone Rabbits launched an assault from the rear.

That momentum seemed as if the entire Bahuang Mountain Range’s Demon Beasts were converging on the camp.

"We’ve been set up," Yu Shang hadn’t had any sleep all night, but she was in a far better condition than Hu Linglong.

Yu Shang used Corpse Puppetry and Ghost Eyes to control several Demon Beasts.

If it weren’t for Yu Shang, the losses at the Sky Fox Camp would have been at least double.

Yu Shang was not Hu Linglong; when she controlled these Demon Beasts, she noticed their emotions were unusually volatile.

After killing a Fire Spot Wolf, Yu Shang took the opportunity to read the wolf’s memory and discovered that the reason for their sudden frenzied attack on the Sky Fox Camp was that half an hour ago, someone had kidnapped their Wolf King’s cub.

The scent of that young Wolf King cub came from the direction of the Sky Fox Camp.

As for the Soul-devouring Iron Bone Soil, the oldest rabbit in their herd was hunted and killed, and its carcass was discovered in the direction of the Sky Fox Camp.

"Earlier, the Eagle-headed Leopard Queen that was killed had a very noticeable wound on it. The assassin who ambushed it escaped towards our Sky Fox Camp," Yu Shang frowned continuously.

No wonder these Demon Beasts, the most fearsome in the Bahuang Mountain Range, all attacked the Sky Fox Camp.

Clearly, someone deliberately lured these Demon Beasts here.

"Who would dare frame us like this?" Hu Linglong, upon hearing what Yu Shang said, examined the bodies of the Demon Beasts more closely and indeed found several clues.

Besides the marks from the Sky Fox Clan’s attacks, there were some other wounds not caused by them.

"I know who did it! It’s Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang, those two bitches," Qin Yue walked towards the camp.

Seeing that even the Pengyu Three Demons were no match for Yun Sheng, she knew the tide had turned.

She had witnessed Yun Sheng’s methods. Yun Sheng murdered Hua Yanluo and Feng Lian. Falling into Yun Sheng’s hands would be a fate worse than death.

So, taking advantage of the moment Yun Sheng was taming the Pengyu Three Demons, Qin Yue quietly slipped away.

She had been lurking near the Sky Fox Camp all along, only emerging after Yu Shang and Hu Linglong had dealt with all the Demon Beasts.

"It’s you. If I’m not mistaken, you’re from Cangdu; you were originally with that half-blood bastard, Yun Sheng," Hu Linglong eyed Qin Yue disdainfully.

To her, Qin Yue was just another half-blood bastard, no different from Yun Sheng.

"Lord Linglong, I’m different from her. I’ve always been loyal to the Sky Fox Tribe and to you, Lord Linglong. Yun Sheng, that woman, harbors treacherous intentions. She killed Hua Yanluo and Feng Lian on the way and tried to kill me. I barely escaped with my life," Qin Yue said, a flash of malice in her eyes, but her face remained impassive.

Yun Sheng killed two Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses? This revelation caused an uproar among the remaining candidate saintesses at the Sky Fox Camp.

"Not only did she kill them, but she also conspired with the Pengyu Three Demons, planning to venture deep into the Bahuang Mountain Range, where a forest of Inheritance Pillars has reportedly been discovered," Qin Yue said, biting her lip, revealing news she had inadvertently heard from the Pengyu Three Demons to gain Hu Linglong and the others’ trust.

"Is what you’re saying true? That the depths of the Bahuang Mountain Range contain a forest of Inheritance Pillars?"

The Inheritance Pillar Forest? Learning this news, even the usually composed Yu Shang couldn’t help but show a hint of joy.

Inheritance Pillar Forest was no ordinary inheritance site but a treasure trove where a large gathering of Eight Desolate Beast Clan’s inheritance pillars formed a special inheritance site.

Only by entering the Inheritance Pillar Forest could the Beast Clans with the bloodline of the Beast Blood awaken the inheritance pillars; only upon successfully awakening them could they gain the inheritance.

However, Hu Linglong and Yu Shang realized that entering the Inheritance Pillar Forest would not be an easy task.

Qin Yue also mentioned that Yun Sheng and others were not the only ones aware of the Inheritance Pillar Forest. The Bimong Clan and the Pengyu Clan were already stationed outside the Inheritance Pillar Forest.

These two Eight Desolate Beast Clans were formidable opponents, sending only elites upon learning of the Inheritance Pillar Forest.

After the battle last night, fewer than ten of them remained, hardly enough manpower to contend with the elites of the Bimong and Pengyu Clans.

Not to mention, that bitch Yun Sheng had even allied with the Pengyu Three Demons.

Upon hearing the name Pengyu Three Demons, Yu Shang’s expression shifted slightly.

Hu Linglong was unaware, but Yu Shang knew full well that the Pengyu Three Demons were sent by the Great Witch Doctor into the Bahuang Mountain Range as pawns to secretly assassinate Yun Sheng.

Yet, in the span of one night, not only was Yun Sheng not killed; she had formed an alliance with the Pengyu Three Demons.

What kind of method had that woman used?

"Miss Linglong, I wish to discuss something with you. We may have had some misunderstandings earlier, but the current situation is dire for us. That Sky Fox bastard colludes with outsiders to harm fellow kin. Now, we should set aside past grievances, eliminate the traitors first, and then unite to enter the Ancient Sealing to claim the Inheritance Pillar Forest," Yu Shang, her beautiful eyes flickering, proactively offered an olive branch to Yu Linglong.

Hu Linglong gauged Yu Shang, weighing her intentions.

Inwardly, she mused, "This woman is very cunning, clearly wanting to join forces with me against that Yun woman."

Yet, if I refuse to ally with her, knowing Yu Shang’s temperament, she might turn against me and collaborate with Yun Sheng, leaving me to face them both...

"Miss Linglong, actually, we could team up. You know that Lu Yunshuang and Yun Sheng are working together. Neither of us can confidently handle them alone. But if we join forces, entering the Inheritance Pillar Forest together, we can compete fairly," Yu Shang said with a radiant smile, swaying Hu Linglong’s thoughts.

"Hmph, your strength surpasses mine. Even if we enter the Inheritance Pillar Forest, your chances of success are much higher than mine," Hu Linglong, having observed Yu Shang in secret last night, noted her ruthless efficiency in dealing with Demon Beasts, far exceeding her own abilities.

"Hehe, Miss Linglong. Let’s not lie between us. I know what truly interests you is the Young Clan Chief Lu of the Jiuluan Clan. I promise you, whether or not I become the Heavenly Fox Saintess in the end, I’ll help you win him over," Yu Shang whispered into Hu Linglong’s ear, their words only audible to each other.

After a few whispered words, Hu Linglong’s expression subtly changed, her eyebrows now carrying a faint hint of delight.
