The Pioneer Ancestor questions Yue Xiumu's ability to control the Taiyin Banana Leaf Fan after her injury, suggesting another cultivator should wield it for the Demon Race's safety. Others express concern over the artifact's sole possession yet also caution against causing internal strife, especially with ongoing demon attacks. Agreement is reached to contact Yue Xiumu, with a ten-day deadline set before the Pioneer Ancestor pursues their own plan.

One could say that no matter the outcome, it would be a big win.

However, before Yue Xiumu appears, it can endure for a while.

"Alright, we will contact Fellow Daoist Fox."

The other three Mahayana Ancestors nodded.

They believe that as long as Fellow Daoist Yue Xiumu can personally prove her strength, then everything will be fine, even if the Pioneer Ancestor harbors ill intentions. He can only endure it.

After all, Yue Xiumu, wielding the Taiyin Banana Leaf Fan, undeniably possesses invincible battle power.

Otherwise, the Demon Race wouldn’t have grown so strong over these tens of thousands of years.

...

After saying these words, the other three Mahayana Ancestors quickly departed, leaving the residence with only the Pioneer Ancestor.

Its eyes contained a strange dark hue, and its body exuded a terrifying dark aura.

It was like a world-class demon ready to strike.

"Hmph, the Wanhu Demon Kingdom?"

"You probably would never imagine that the Pioneer Ancestor died long ago."

"It’s a pity the previous plans didn’t succeed, and the Nine-tailed Immortal Fox wasn’t killed."

"Otherwise, why would we need such troubles?"

"But who saved that Nine-tailed Immortal Fox?"

The Pioneer Ancestor’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

It was very puzzled about why Yue Xiumu hadn’t died.

Because they had spared no effort to kill this Nine-tailed Immortal Fox; they essentially planned step by step.

Yet, despite this, the fox found a sliver of life and survived.

This also thoroughly disrupted the demons’ various schemes.

If the Nine-tailed Immortal Fox had died, the Wanhu Demon Kingdom would surely have fallen apart.

Especially since it had its own mole; it wouldn’t be long before it could destroy the Wanhu Demon Kingdom.

Once the Demon Race was annihilated, the next target would be the Human Race.

One could say it was a certainty that demons would completely occupy the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Who could have expected such a sudden change?

It must be said that the Spirit Ruins Realm is indeed mysterious, containing too many secrets, with many Immortal legacies left behind.

It’s because of this that invasion attempts have faced countless difficulties.

Moreover, if it were billions of years ago, they could have gotten support from the Immortal Realm.

With continuous support, what would the mere Spirit Ruins Realm count for?

But that battle billions of years ago led to earth-shaking changes in the Mortal World, making it a place of crisis.

Cultivators in the Mortal World could no longer ascend to the Immortal Realm.

But the Immortals in the Immortal Realm couldn’t come to the Mortal World either, causing a complete loss of support from the Immortal Realm.

It can be said that every companion lost is unspeakably precious.

Because of this, many of the demons’ plans to invade the Mortal World were thwarted.

But things are about to change.

Once they invade the entire Spirit Ruins Realm, occupy this Great Thousand Worlds altogether, and sacrifice it, they could communicate with the Immortal Realm and return to it.

This has been their grand ambition for years.

Whoever tries to stop them won’t be spared.

"This time the goal is to force Yue Xiumu out."

"But even if she doesn’t appear, we can still disrupt the Wanhu Demon Kingdom."

"Furthermore, the Taiyin Banana Leaf Fan has already fallen to our scheme."

"A distortion has infiltrated this Immortal Artifact and is battling its Artifact Spirit."

"It will likely resolve soon."

"If successful, the Immortal Fox Race and Demon Race will lose a significant strength."

The Pioneer Ancestor’s eyes flickered, revealing a dreadful coldness in the depths of its pupils.

It had already devised a method to destroy the Wanhu Demon Kingdom in the future.

...

The next day’s midday at the Immortal Fox City, Fox King Palace.

Originally a well-guarded demon race palace, it now had two unexpected visitors.

The visitors were Jiang Fan and Yue Xiumu.

Using the power of the Gate of the Void, he returned to the Immortal Fox City and, concealing his presence, silently infiltrated the Fox King Palace. With Yue Xiumu as an insider, entering the palace was effortless.

"I’ve placed the Taiyin Banana Leaf Fan in my chamber."

"The entire chamber is covered by a Tier Eight Array; besides me, no one can enter."

"Thus, the Taiyin Banana Leaf Fan is relatively safe."

Yue Xiumu said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan remained silent, following Yue Xiumu.

Swoosh!

Soon after, under Yue Xiumu’s lead, Jiang Fan reached the deepest part of the Fox King Palace, where there was a palace, which was Yue Xiumu’s original resting place.

But around this palace were five Integration Great Demons.

They guarded the entrance, allowing no cultivators to approach.

Each exuded terrifying sinister energy, making it chilling to behold.

"What’s going on? Why are the Desolate Bull Race’s Integration Great Demons guarding my chamber?"

"Where have the Immortal Fox Race’s cultivators gone?"

Yue Xiumu was both shocked and angered; she had never expected such a turn of events in the Fox King Palace.

Though this was the territory of the Immortal Fox Race, it seemed controlled by the Desolate Bull Race’s cultivators.

It had only been eleven years since she left; how could this have happened?

The Pioneer Ancestor is indeed too daring; is he eager for rebellion?

"Do you even need to ask? The Fox King Palace has been infiltrated by demons like a sieve."

"Due to the previous demon invasion, many demons died, and the Immortal Fox Race suffered great losses."

"Additionally, since you left the Immortal Fox City, the Fox King Palace lost its backbone."

"Thus, how could the Fox King Palace withstand the pressure of Mahayana cultivators?"

"That’s why the Desolate Bull Race dispatched cultivators to guard this place."

"They are not just protecting the Taiyin Banana Leaf Fan but also preventing other cultivators from acquiring it."

"This is the result of inside and outside collaboration."

Jiang Fan said plainly.

"No wonder you don’t want me to return to the Fox King Palace; this place has long become a trap."

"If I still had Mahayana battle power, these few enemies wouldn’t be a problem."

"But now my cultivation hasn’t fully restored; it’s challenging to deal with these Integration Great Demons."

"We should leave; if we alert them, the Pioneer Ancestor will arrive soon."

Yue Xiumu’s face was grim; she realized the terrifying killing intent within the Demon Race.

Luckily she left the Immortal Fox City with this human so the enemies don’t know her real location.

Otherwise, staying in the Immortal Fox City would mean endless threats until her death and obliteration.

Now she had second thoughts.

Clearly, the problems within the Wanhu Demon Kingdom were more severe than she anticipated.

"No need for such trouble; leave it to me."

"Just five Integration Great Demons; they’re not worth mentioning."

Jiang Fan stepped forward, appearing before those Desolate Bull Race Integration Great Demons.

"Who goes there?"

The group of Integration Great Demons was suddenly shocked; sensing a human Integration cultivator’s aura appearing in the Fox King Palace, they hadn’t detected anything beforehand, yet now the enemy stood before them.

This stirred a storm in their hearts.

But these Integration Great Demons were already corroded by the demon’s power, becoming part of the demon, so naturally, they wouldn’t retreat.

Boom~~

In the next moment, Jiang Fan activated a life talisman on him—the Supreme Gate Talisman.

This was the Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman he successfully inscribed recently, also the most powerful among the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans.

Even in just a beginner state, its unleashed might far surpasses ordinary talismans.

Boom~~

Instantly, the Supreme Gate Talisman flew out and appeared in mid-air.

An ancient portal appeared in the depths of the void, before the cultivators.

Undoubtedly, it was a magnificent and sacred portal, radiating with Immortal Light, inscribed with countless runes of the Great Dao, circulating the origin essence of the cosmos.

If this door were opened, the power it released could illuminate myriad realms, communicate with the Power of Creation, as if connecting to the ultimate mysteries of the cosmos’ depths.

For a moment, as the Supreme Gate Talisman emerged, the entire area of the Fox King Palace was in stasis, time seemingly frozen in that second.
