"Alright, since you all feel that way, I will agree to your terms!"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "However, I may have my own matters to attend to in the future and won't be staying with the fox tribe indefinitely!"
"As an elder of our fox tribe, you are free to do as you please, Lord. Our fox lineage will never trouble you over this matter!" Nine-Tails said, cupping his fists.
"That's good then!"
Lu Fan nodded, saying no more. This was precisely the assurance he sought from Nine-Tails.
After all, he couldn't remain with the fox tribe forever; he might need to go elsewhere in the future.
"The Divine Dragon tribe has some ties with the Divine Serpent tribe. Now that they have met a violent end, it is likely that our fox tribe will tread even more cautiously!"
With a somber gaze, Nine-Tails spoke again, "What should we do about this matter?"
"The Divine Dragon tribe?"
Lu Fan pondered for a moment, "I can eliminate them all. That way, they will pose no threat to you. What do you think?"
"This..."
Faced with these words, the fox tribe members were instantly stunned, even more so lost and unsure.
They had clearly not anticipated Lu Fan to be so direct, even so impolite.
That was the mighty Divine Dragon tribe, an absolute overlord in the entirety of Bei Yuan.
Lu Fan's ability to speak so casually sent a shiver down their spines.
"The Divine Dragon tribe is different from the Divine Serpent tribe!"
Nine-Tails quickly said, "The strength of the Divine Dragon tribe is extraordinary. If we were to truly become their enemies, we would have no chance of victory. This is not advisable!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan muttered, his expression becoming even more indifferent. He actually knew little about these matters.
"Therefore, staying in the valley might be the safest option!" Nine-Tails suggested. "No one will be able to find us here. Once this situation blows over, no one will pursue it."
"That is a good choice!"
Lu Fan nodded. "In that case, we shall hide here and cultivate diligently. Once we become stronger in the future, no one will be able to bully us!"
The fox tribe members nodded in agreement. They found Lu Fan's words to be very convincing.
For without Lu Fan, their entire fox tribe, and even the tiger tribe, would have faced disaster, which was even more difficult to accept.
Upon entering the valley, they began to seal the array, preparing to build a paradise within it. This way, everyone could recuperate and rest here, no longer to be disturbed.
However, at that very moment, the entire Bei Yuan suddenly trembled. No one knew what had happened, causing panic among everyone.
"What is going on!"
Six-Tails quickly said, his heart filled with doubt. Such a massive tremor caused his heart to flutter.
Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't have been like this, but now it seemed things were not so simple.
"Could it be that some ancient ruins have opened?"
The fox elder spoke, "Otherwise, why would such a terrifying aura be emanating? And this aura is no simple matter, it has shaken the entire Bei Yuan!"
"Could it be the Demon God An Yue!"
Nine-Tails' expression suddenly changed. "This overflowing aura is quite familiar!"
"Demon God An Yue?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "Is he very strong?"
"Extremely strong, I would say!"
Nine-Tails stated directly, "Tens of thousands of years ago, he was the strongest in our Bei Yuan, the ruler of the entire Bei Yuan!"
"So, our Bei Yuan had such a powerful figure in the past!"
Six-Tails said with surprise, expressing his awe.
"The Demon God An Yue possessed boundless power, so much so that even the Divine race had to worship him!"
Nine-Tails elaborated, "Unfortunately, his fame was too great back then. The Divine race also produced an unparalleled figure. The two battled for three days and three nights, and in the end, both perished!"
"So there are so many hidden secrets between the two realms!"
Lu Fan's brows furrowed slightly. He was unaware of these things and was somewhat astonished.
No wonder the Divine race and Bei Yuan had always been at odds; it turned out such an event had occurred a long, long time ago, which was truly shocking.
"Legend has it that after the Demon God An Yue died, his subordinates designed a grand tomb for him, burying his magical artifacts and numerous divine objects within!"
Nine-Tails continued, "If his tomb has truly opened, it will undoubtedly contain many treasures, and it will also incite conflict among the people of Bei Yuan!"
"If that is indeed the case, it might not be a bad thing!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his words earnest. He also wished to see what was so special about the tomb of this Demon God An Yue, which was spoken of with such reverence, stirring his curiosity.
Seeing Lu Fan's words, Nine-Tails suddenly looked embarrassed. "I am merely speaking from hearsay; I'm not too sure about the specifics."
"You've spoken so vividly; I'm sure it's not wrong!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "Are you interested in the tomb of this Demon God An Yue?"
"This..."
Nine-Tails paused, then frowned. He was indeed quite interested in the tomb, but he had to protect the fox tribe. If anything were to happen to them, he would be held accountable.
"I will accompany you!" Six-Tails' voice rang out. "Perhaps we can obtain some treasures. This is a rare opportunity; how can we easily miss it!"
"Your strength is too weak. If you go, you will be of no use and will be counterproductive!" Nine-Tails shook his head. "Let Mother go. If we obtain anything, it will surely be a blessing to our fox tribe."
"Clan leader, you are our Nine-Tails Divine Fox. What will happen if something befalls you!"
With a grave expression, several elders nearby spoke, their hearts stirred.
After all, this matter was not trivial. If not handled properly, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Facing these words, Nine-Tails shook his head. "It is too difficult to improve our strength by staying within the formation. If we want the fox tribe to have eternal peace, we must possess great power!"
Following these words, the fox tribe members exchanged glances, and finally fell silent.
What Nine-Tails had said was not without reason, and it was also what they had in their hearts.
However, they were still extremely worried and knew that this matter was not to be taken lightly.
"Don't worry, he will be fine following behind me!"
Lu Fan shrugged, his gaze calm, as if everything was under control.
Facing these words, everyone nodded, not daring to say more. At this point, they could only let events unfold.
