“Buzz!”

Right at this moment, the Fire Spirit Pearl within Jiang Yi's body suddenly lit up, quickly transmitting unknown energy which was exactly the same kind when he was struck by burning flames from his body to his mind.

This energy rushed into his soul, and his soul instantly released rays of golden light while the little fox's shadow on his mind quickly faded and eventually disappeared without a trace—like a ghost which was struck by the G.o.d's light.

At this moment, Jiang Yi realized that he could move his body again; and his soul had once again gotten back control of his body.

What exactly is this Fire Spirit Pearl? It is definitely not a simple spatial divine artifact!

Within the Fire Spirit Pearl's s.p.a.ce, Jiang Yi did not find anything apart from the Fire Spirit Rock. So, where did this unusual energy come from? However, no matter what it was, Jiang Yi could definitely confirm that the grade of this Fire Spirit Pearl was definitely saint-tier—as only the saint-tier artifact in the legend could automatically protect its master.

The treasure that the Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons held on even on his deathbed is indeed a priceless artifact!

Jiang Yi was secretly elated. He quickly opened his eyes and jumped up, waving the red dagger to stab at the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox. At the same time, his other hand held on tightly to the Fire Spirit Pearl. If this Three-Tailed Spirit Fox dared to move recklessly, he wouldn't mind taking out one Fire Spirit Rock to turn it into ashes.

“Ji-Ji!”

The little fox was startled, and it sprawled on the ground without moving. It clearly saw Jiang Yi being struck by its spell, but now, he looked fine? Seeing the dagger with a cold killing intent coming towards it, it did not escape. It rather lied on the ground and pitifully stared at Jiang Yi as though it was begging for mercy. That expression was full of humanity.

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi watched the face of the little fox and felt as though it was a little girl begging pitifully. However, he did not soften his grip on the dagger and continued moving it towards the fox to stab it. He was almost charmed by this Three-Tailed Spirit Fox; once he was charmed, it would mean death!

“My Lord, please don't kill Xiao Fei!”

Suddenly, a white light flashed past the eyes of the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox. A childish girl's voice suddenly appeared in Jiang Yi's mind, frightening him till his body was shaking. His hand froze, and he scanned the surroundings to make sure that no one was around. After confirming that there was no one, he then looked at the little fox on the ground and asked, “Were you talking?”

The little fox nodded its head, and a white light twinkled in its eyes. Jiang Yi could hear a childish voice inside his head again: “My Lord, Xiao Fei had no intention to be your foe. I was just acting out of defense just now. Please let Xiao Fei go.”

“d.a.m.n!”

Jiang Yi shuddered, and he nearly turned to run away. Old legends had it that fox spirits existed, but he actually encountered one in real life today. This fox could even communicate with him and understand his words. Wasn't this what they called a demon spirit?

To kill or not to kill?

That was the question. The Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was too dangerous. If he hadn't had the Fire Spirit Pearl on him, he would have been its puppet by now. The little fox simply looked too pitiful, and it was obvious that it had the intelligence of a higher being. Its ability to communicate through using the hidden message was bizarre, and it made him feel that it wasn't a demonic beast—but a little girl. This incident was too strange, and it made him hesitate.

“Oh, that's right!”

Jiang Yi suddenly thought of a question: did he have a spirit beast talisman on him? This Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was so powerful. If it could be tamed to become a spirit beast, it would be terrifyingly brutal. Jiang Yi had no idea how big and powerful the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was, but legend had it that the fox was a presence which could even allure and charm the martial experts from the Soul Travel Realm.

“Die, or become my spirit beast!”

Jiang Yi glared at the little fox and roared loudly. He quickly took out the spirit beast talisman using one of his hands, and the other hand continued holding onto the Fire Spirit Pearl which was readied to take out the Fire Spirit Rock. He infused essence forces into his hands, and the spirit beast talisman lit up quickly. The golden words flew towards the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox one by one and into his body.

“Ji-Ji, Ji-Ji!”

As the words on the spirit beast talisman entered the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox one by one, the little fox whimpered in pain. It couldn't stop tossing and turning on the ground, and its little face was full of agony and pain. White lights flashed in its eyes, and it sent Jiang Yi messages one at a time.

“My Lord, please let Xiao Fei off! Xiao Fei promises not to come out again.”

“My Lord, please show your mercy! Xiao Fei is so scared. Mother, come faster and save Xiao Fei.”

“Wu-wu, my Lord, Xiao Fei is in much pain! Please stop moving! Xiao Fei will die…”

“My Lord, please let Xiao Fei off! I will definitely repay you for your mercy towards me.”

The little fox's sobbing plea for mercy couldn't stop ringing in Jiang Yi's mind. The little voice obviously belonged to a little girl. Seeing the little fox rolling on the ground in pain and its beautiful, little face full of pain and agony, Jiang Yi's hand froze; and his eyes were in a daze. The golden rays on the spirit beast talisman disappeared.

How the little fox looked like now reminded Jiang Yi of how he used to get beaten up by Jiang Ruhu and the rest when he was young. Jiang Xiaonu would lie on top of him and cover him from the kicks and punches flying towards him. Jiang Xiaonu's pitiful face begging for Jiang Ruhu's mercy was exactly like the little fox's face. That face and the voice were all too similar.

Jiang Yi was never a soft-hearted person, but Jiang Xiaonu grew up with him; and they only had each other to rely on. She was like a biological sister to him. The little fox resembled Jiang Xiaonu too much; he couldn't help but feel a sense of compa.s.sion towards her. He felt that taming the little fox was like taming Jiang Xiaonu—how could he do that?

A trace of delight sparked in the little fox's eyes when it saw that Jiang Yi stopped suddenly. The little fox thought that it was weird when it saw how gentle Jiang Yi's gaze was—his face was full of love.

Its little brain couldn't seem to think it through. Why did Jiang Yi seem so friendly and kind all of a sudden when he looked so ferociously evil a second ago? His face full of love made it felt the sense of warmth its mother gave her when she looked at her.

“Off you go!”

Jiang Yi snapped out of his daze. He sighed heavily and turned his head away, forcing himself not to think so much about it. His brain told him that it would be a grave mistake to let the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox go, but he still chose to follow his heart.

“Ji-Ji!”

The little fox looked at Jiang Yi unbelievably and squeaked twice. A white light glowed in its eyes once again, and a female voice could be heard: “Thank you, my Lord, Xiao Fei will definitely repay your kindness one day! Xiao Fei shall take her leave now.”

After finis.h.i.+ng its words, the little fox got up quickly and walked away towards the vastness. It turned its head repeatedly while it walked and looked at Jiang Yi with mixed feelings in its eyes for a few times.

“Sigh…”

After the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox vanished into the forest far away, Jiang Yi let out a long, regretful sigh. He shook his head and decided not to think about it too much. If a person was lucky, he would encounter many fated chances and opportunities in his lifetime. One might regret for a while if he lost a chance, but if he lost his true inner self, he would have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life.

“Swis.h.!.+”

A white shadow shot out from the depths of Mt. Thirty Thousand just when Jiang Yi used the spirit beast talisman to tame the little fox. The speed of the white shadow was as fast as the lightning, and it was impossible to see what that was—only a ray of white light could be seen flas.h.i.+ng past.

The demonic beasts hiding in the depths of the mountain all squatted on the ground out of fear at the places where the white light flashed past. Even the tier-three demonic beasts were kneeling on the ground, so frightened that they didn't even dare to spit out a breath.

“Swis.h.!.+”

The white light reached the Mt. Black Clouds in no time. When the white light appeared, all the demonic beasts lurking in the Mt. Black Clouds flopped on the ground and were trembling as though it was the end of the world. However, the little fox that just escaped excitedly let out ‘Ji-Ji' sounds loudly and darted towards the white light.

“En?”

Jiang Yi was preparing to return and climb up the boulder to look at the rest of the people in the cave when he felt a strong and powerful aura locked on him suddenly. That power of aura was so ferociously vicious that he had never felt before. At that moment, Jiang Yi felt as though the sky had collapsed and the earth had sunk. His vision went black, and he fell unconscious to the ground.

“Boom!”

The aura engulfed Liu Lao and the rest of the people who were in the cave. Everyone, including the two martial experts from the Soul Travel Realm, fell to the ground and pa.s.sed out immediately under the pressure force of the aura.
