"Heh, what can this lousy net do to me?" Long Hu Hu chuckled.
Her beast form's flesh was robust. With one swipe of her tail, she smashed a disciple to the ground, incapacitating him. The mere sword qi couldn't even scratch a single hair on her hide.
Facing the Tian Luo Seal, which descended from the sky and grew larger and larger, she let out a sharp shriek. Her fox mouth opened, and a torrent of massive fox fire spewed out. Upon meeting the Tian Luo Seal, the seal was immediately engulfed by the raging fox fire. The Tian Si Sect disciples who couldn't escape in time were touched by the fox fire and turned to ashes in mere seconds. This fire could burn everything. After surviving her tribulation, the Nine-Tailed Fox regained her divine status. The fox fire, imbued with heavenly punishment, was immensely powerful, capable of repelling even divine lords.
The Tian Si Sect leader cried out in pain. The Tian Luo Seal was reduced to ashes by the fire, and he suffered a backlash, feeling as though his internal organs were twisting.
Ju Yin watched, dumbfounded. When had Xiao Bai become so powerful?
"Hu Hu, it seems you're different from your past life. This life, you received the Dragon God's inheritance, and your combat power is vastly superior to before," Ju Yin murmured to herself.
"Yes, the Nine-Tailed Fox is a divine beast, favored by heaven and earth since birth. Furthermore, Hu Hu is the offspring of a dragon and a nine-tailed fox. Dragons and foxes are the strongest combatants in the world. Yin Bao, Hu Hu can take care of herself now. She won't repeat past mistakes," Hua Xun said, patting Ju Yin's shoulder comfortingly.
"Quick, quick, use your second magical artifact, your third magical artifact!" the sect leader of Tian Si Sect urged the two elders in charge of the other two artifacts.
With a long howl, a golden bell descended from the sky, transforming into the size of a mountain peak, attempting to cover the nine-tailed fox flying in the air.
"Hmm, this bell looks familiar. It seems this Tian Si Sect is not simple!" Hua Xun suddenly spoke. He strongly suspected someone. Wasn't this artifact belonging to Saint Nan Shan? How could it be here?
"You recognize it? Is Hu Hu in danger?" Ju Yin's concern overwhelmed her, like a parent watching a child determined to be independent.
"I have a use for this bell. It would be a shame to have Hu Hu destroy it!" Hua Xun quickly formed hand seals, shouting, "Chaos Bell!" The bell shrunk to the size of a palm and flew into Hua Xun's hand.
Hu Hu was about to revert to her human form and use the dragon bone saber her father had made for her, which was forged from his ribs. She planned to violently dismantle this bell. The bell gave her a feeling of intense Yin energy, and her saber techniques were based on innate righteous energy, capable of subduing all Yin spirits.
"You're not going to use it to catch ghosts, are you?" Ju Yin moved half a step away from him with disgust. She also sensed the Yin and malevolent energy from the bell.
"Ah, this bell wasn't always like this. Its true form is the Chaos Bell, forged by Saint Nan Shan to brew wine. It was stolen and refined using secret methods, hence the Yin energy. If it were the old Hu Hu, this bell would have been her perfect counter," Hua Xun explained.
"Oh? Saint Nan Shan? That name sounds very unfamiliar!" Although Ju Yin had regained her memories, she never remembered faces from the immortal world, and she wasn't very familiar with these sects.
The elder holding the bell watched helplessly as his artifact went out of control and disappeared before his eyes. He was also forcibly stripped of his artifact contract and severely injured.
Before the other artifact could be fully unleashed, the owner's forehead was pierced by a white sharp blade, killing even his soul.
This was Long Hu Hu, having grown tired of dealing with these occasional flying artifacts. She directly unleashed an ice blade, striking at the source. In the face of true power, all auxiliary magical artifacts were like paper tigers.
In less than fifteen minutes, the disciples of the Tian Si Sect were either defeated or dead. The sect leader of Tian Si, clutching his chest, looked around in terror at his remaining disciples, as if he was the only one left. The Nine-Tailed Fox looked down at him from above.
"Sect Leader Tian Si, do you have anything to say?"
"Divine beast, spare my life! I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. Please spare me!" The Sect Leader Tian Si prostrated himself on the ground, begging for mercy in terror.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort from Xiao Bai, five corpses fell from the sky. These were the five Celestial Monarchs who had emerged from the illusion, their life force extinguished. The Sect Leader Tian Si was even more terrified, his face ashen. It was over, everything was over. At this moment, he was incredibly thankful that his own son was outside and hadn't returned to the sect, or it would have been a catastrophe for the entire sect!
Long Hu Hu said nothing more. She directly searched his soul and then gave him a quick death! This scoundrel deserved to die; looking at his memories, he had committed many wicked deeds.
Ju Yin and Hua Xun also revealed themselves, looking at Long Hu Hu with satisfaction.
"Sister!" As soon as Long Hu Hu saw Ju Yin, she transformed into her human form, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ju Yin, her face clearly conveying "Praise me quickly."
"Hu Hu, you're amazing! From now on, I'll rely on you!" Ju Yin said with a laugh.
"Sister, I found out some things. Take a look! Many people are coveting us!" Long Hu Hu displayed the memories from her soul to Ju Yin and Hua Xun.
Not far away, the minor immortal who had passed by earlier, along with thirty people from his sect, hid and witnessed everything.
"Come out!" Ju Yin suddenly spoke! She and Hua Xun had already detected them. Seeing that they had no ill intentions, they didn't bother with their peeping!
"Greetings, Immortal Maiden. Please accept our bow. To be honest, this Tian Si Sect was originally our sect, but they occupied it for tens of thousands of years. Now, our sect's revenge is finally repaid. We thank you, Immortal Maiden." The thirty Golden Immortals knelt and bowed to Ju Yin and the other two.
"You flatter me. This matter is between us and the Tian Si Sect."
"I am Zuo Yi, and this is our sect leader of the Tian Qiong Sect." The passing minor immortal paid no heed to Ju Yin's dismissive words. Their sect had been hiding and on the run, being hunted by the Tian Si Sect. Now that the Tian Si Sect was destroyed, they were benefactors to the Tian Qiong Sect. With that, the thirty Golden Immortals solemnly kowtowed thrice.
"Pfft!" Long Hu Hu chuckled. "Tian Qiong Sect? What a name you've chosen. No wonder your sect was occupied."
"Divine Beast, our Tian Qiong Sect has decided to follow you. Please accept us and help us rename our sect!" The passing minor immortal, Zuo Yi, said to Long Hu Hu, his face flushed.
"You are too weak, and your sect leader hasn't even spoken yet. Can you make decisions?" Long Hu Hu also recognized this person as the minor immortal she had asked for directions from earlier. It seemed there was some karmic connection, and accepting them wouldn't hurt. She could cultivate them to become an aid to her sister.
"Divine Beast, Zuo Yi is the future sect leader of our sect, and he is my son. His word is law," the Tian Qiong Sect leader quickly interjected to explain.
"En, very well. From now on, you shall be called the Azure Firmament Immortal Sect!" Hu Hu decided on this name after a moment of thought.
"Sister, what do you think of this name?"
"Not bad!" Ju Yin nodded and praised. Hu Hu truly had this charm, gathering a group of followers in the blink of an eye. When Long Hu Hu eventually commanded over a hundred sects, Ju Yin realized she had underestimated her.
"Thank you, Divine Beast, for bestowing the name!" Zuo Yi and the others were overjoyed!
"Alright, get up. You are all too weak!" Long Hu Hu waved her hand, and a mountain of treasures instantly appeared on the ground. After rummaging through it, she finally found two cultivation techniques and handed them to Zuo Yi.
"Hu Hu, did you rob Uncle Long?" Ju Yin looked at the dazzling pile of treasures, really wanting them!
"Yes, Father's things are mine!" Long Hu Hu felt no guilt about robbing her father.
