Bo Bo repels Dugu Xiu, who is furious to discover Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming have escaped. The High Priest and Yu Shang confront Dugu Xiu, revealing he is a vessel for Ye Xiu's soul. They plot to reawaken Ye Xiu by exploiting his hatred for Hu Yan. Meanwhile, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming discuss Dugu Xiu's power, and Yun Sheng's concern over incomplete Sky Fox Relics. Ye Beiming, jealous of Yun Sheng's earlier interaction with Dugu Xiu, demands a hundred kisses as compensation, which Yun Sheng reluctantly agrees to.

"Holy Daughter, do you really intend to use the Heavenly Fox Illusion Technique to resurrect Ye Xiu dormant within Dugu Xiu’s body? It’s too dangerous." Upon learning that the Holy Daughter was going to comply with the High Priest’s wishes to truly bring Ye Xiu back to life, the Great Witch Doctor was very worried.

"I love Ye Xiu, not Dugu Xiu. Besides, Dugu Xiu has always been infatuated with that wretch named Yun Sheng. As long as Ye Xiu is resurrected, he will undoubtedly order an immediate assault on Wuji Continent." Yu Shang said decisively.

Yu Shang’s mind was made up. That night, she secretly prepared with the High Priest and invited Dugu Xiu under the pretext of observing the situation on Wuji Continent.

As Dugu Xiu stepped into the main hall of the Beast God Altar, bursts of pink smoke suddenly spewed within the hall.

"High Priest, Yu Shang, how dare you both calculate against me!" Dugu Xiu realized the situation was dire and wanted to quickly leave the main hall, but the pink smoke blurred the surrounding directions.

The smoke slowly condensed into a picture.

A woman appeared in the picture.

"Yun Sheng?" When Dugu Xiu saw that woman, his heart twitched violently.

The woman in the picture wore a sanctified Magic Robe, and her eyes were melancholic and sorrowful.

"That’s not right, you are not Yun Sheng." Yun Sheng would never have such an expression; the Yun Sheng Dugu Xiu knew always had eyes gleaming brightly, even amidst adversity, like shining stars.

Yet the woman in the picture truly resembled Yun Sheng, with seventy to eighty percent similarity.

"Hu Yan." Another person appeared in the picture.

He was a black-haired man, towering in stature, with eyes as deep as the firmament. Originally an immensely cold man, the moment he saw the woman, the ice mountain in his eyes melted instantly, a look only a man seeing his beloved woman would have.

Upon seeing that man, Dugu Xiu felt a jolt within, this familiar sensation...

Hu Yan, the first Heavenly Fox Clan Leader.

The black-haired man’s features were nearly identical to Ye Beiming’s, except the man had ankle-length hair, appearing even more untamed.

He was Ye Xiu, the first Hei Qilin Clan Leader Ye Xiu.

"Ye Xiu, do you really want to fight the Human Clan to the death?" Hu Yan turned around, looking at the handsome man before her.

"Of course, the Human Clan has slaughtered countless members of my tribe, this time, I want to massacre them entirely. Rest assured, I will not be harmed." Ye Xiu embraced Hu Yan.

There was a tinge of hesitation in Hu Yan’s eyes.

"Ye Xiu, have you ever considered coexisting peacefully with the Human Clan?"

"Hu Yan, you’re speaking nonsense again. How can the Human Clan and Beast Clan coexist harmoniously? We Beast Clan are the most noble, the Human Clan is vile and filthy." Ye Xiu’s tone carried some displeasure.

This wasn’t the first time Hu Yan had brought up this topic.

Ultimately, a woman is a woman, even one as powerful as Hu Yan couldn’t avoid her gentle nature.

"Don’t speak further, my mind is set. If you don’t wish to slaughter those of the Human Clan, remain in the camp. When I return with other Beast Clan Leaders, I will be the King of Wuji, and you will be the most noble woman by my side." Ye Xiu planted a kiss gently on Hu Yan’s forehead before reluctantly letting her go.

Watching Ye Xiu’s towering figure disappear into the vast night, Hu Yan sighed.

Her figure vanished, heading in the opposite direction of Ye Xiu.

Upon arrival at the Human Clan’s camp, a Human Clan Emperor appeared before Hu Yan.

"You?" The Human Clan master saw Hu Yan, and there was a hint of admiration and puzzlement in his eyes.

"Here is the method for crafting the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts. Gather the materials listed, you must create the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts within half a month." Hu Yan handed over a blueprint to the Human Clan master.

"What!" Dugu Xiu’s body involuntarily leaned forward.

The blueprint for the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts... unimaginable, the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts in the Human Clan’s possession were actually created by Hu Yan.

"Why are you helping us?" The Human Clan Emperor accepted the blueprint, quite puzzled about why Hu Yan would assist them.

The Eight Desolate Beast Clan’s onslaught was too fierce, the Human Clan was already at its wit’s end, ready to be slaughtered.

"I am not helping you; I am helping myself." Hu Yan’s voice, beneath the vast starry sky, sounded exceptionally hollow.

Dugu Xiu abruptly clutched his chest, feeling his heart pounding fiercely.

It wasn’t his heart; it was the heart of Black Qilin King Ye Xiu, pain like being torn apart.

Pain piercing the heart, that was Ye Xiu’s most beloved woman, a woman he wished to protect even with his life.

She actually betrayed the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, aiding the Human Clan to expel the Eight Desolate Beast Clan from Wuji Continent.

Why... why did she do this!

The Black Qilin King Relics within Dugu Xiu’s body raged frantically.

"No!!" Black Qilin Fighting Energy spewed out from Dugu Xiu’s body.

The dormant Ye Xiu within Dugu Xiu finally awakened.

Red hair turned black, Dugu Xiu’s hair lengthened significantly, his eyes consumed by hatred.

The fog in the main hall dispersed, and the High Priest and Yu Shang, trembling with fear, looked towards the man standing rigidly.

Until he slowly turned around, that distinct aura of Ye Xiu, innate, startled both the High Priest and Yu Shang.

"Clan Leader! Is it really you? You have finally come back! Shadow waited so many years, finally, my esteemed Clan Leader, the only Clan Leader." The High Priest cried tears of joy, worshiping at Ye Xiu’s feet, kissing them fervently.

"Ye Xiu, is it really you? Do you recognize me? I’m Yu Shang, I’m Hu Yushang." Yu Shang’s face brimming with adoration.

She gazed at Ye Xiu, from his eyes to his nose bridge to the overwhelming aura of destruction surrounding him, he was truly Ye Xiu.

"Yu Shang, Hu Yushang?" Ye Xiu hesitated, looking at Hu Yushang.

"Yes, it’s me. The illusion just now was what I secretly witnessed following Hu Yan years ago. That wretch Hu Yan, she secretly colluded with a Human Clan Emperor and secretly drew the blueprint for the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts to give to the Human Clan. Without her, we wouldn’t have lost." Yu Shang endlessly badmouthed Hu Yan.

Back then, she had told Ye Xiu about this matter, but Ye Xiu was blinded by obsession and even ventured into the chaotic Dutian Blood Realm to search for Hu Yan.

It was also there that Ye Xiu was besieged by the Eight Great Masters of the Human Clan using the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, ultimately dying in battle.

"Indeed, I remember, I remember everything. I must thank you for helping me fully resurrect." Ye Xiu took a deep breath, looking at Yu Shang, a bizarre cold gleam flickering in his eyes.
