Was the Nine-Tailed Fox turning into a vengeful spirit?

Old Liu had warned me to be careful of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The Nine-Tailed Fox already harbored deep resentment. In the Battle of the Gods, the Nine-Tailed Fox played an indispensable role, but in the end, it didn't even get a chance to be deified, only to be beheaded and displayed to the public.

Although the remnant soul of the Nine-Tailed Fox was immortal and indestructible, it could not be reincarnated. It was equivalent to depriving it of the opportunity to live again.

However, for some reason, the Nine-Tailed Fox's resentment had been suppressed within its soul, only to be activated at specific times.

According to Old Liu: If Tamamo-no-Mae, from Japanese mythology, was one of the Nine-Tailed Fox's remnant souls, then its transformation into the Sessho-seki (Killing Stone) after being killed by the Japanese army was due to the outbreak of the Nine-Tailed Fox's resentment.

Although Japanese occultists were not as skilled as those in China, the fact that no one in the entire country could resolve the Sessho-seki's resentment was enough to prove its power.

After studying the Nine-Tailed Fox several times, Old Liu finally came to a conclusion.

That was, it was necessary to constantly give the Nine-Tailed Fox a chance to live. The more the Nine-Tailed Fox saw a chance for life, the less likely it was to turn into a vengeful spirit.

A亡灵 (wang ling, deceased spirit) turning into a vengeful spirit was equivalent to the beginning of destruction.

Vengeful spirits that could eliminate their resentment and be reincarnated were rare, one in a thousand miles.

If no one helped them resolve their resentment, or if they didn't drink Meng Po's soup to forget everything, vengeful spirits would kill indiscriminately and would eventually be reduced to ashes in the hands of occultists and cultivators.

The Nine-Tailed Fox wouldn't easily turn into a vengeful spirit precisely because it understood this.

This was the biggest reason why Old Liu felt safe keeping the Nine-Tailed Fox by his side.

However, he also warned me to be careful that the Nine-Tailed Fox might suddenly turn into a vengeful spirit due to external stimulation.

What exactly had stimulated the Nine-Tailed Fox?

The witch, Xu An'an!

Xu An'an's name flashed through my mind quickly.

After Xu An'an became demonized in the Iron Tile Temple, we didn't have much interaction.

I owed Xu An'an nothing, and she owed me nothing. Why would she talk about friendship and loyalty with me?

Xu An'an had repeatedly helped me deal with the Reincarnation Division unconditionally, without proposing any conditions. It turned out that she had bigger plans.

I guessed that Xu An'an had already tampered with the Nine-Tailed Fox when she returned it to me.

Our every move after taking the Nine-Tailed Fox might have been under her surveillance.

Zhao Yuezhu was about to open the entrance to the tomb and collect the life force from the demon tomb.

Xu An'an's timing for turning the Nine-Tailed Fox into a vengeful spirit could be said to be perfect.

While my mind was still racing, the Nine-Tailed Fox's resentful voice came again: "Li Po, why did you abandon me?"

Through the smoke, I met the blood-colored eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Behind the Nine-Tailed Fox, nine fox-tail-shaped shadows appeared. They were clearly not fox tails, but the manifestation of the Nine-Tailed Fox turning into a vengeful spirit.

I subconsciously wanted to draw my saber, but Ye Yang threw out several palms to shake off the stones that were smashing towards me from the air: "Learn from Lin Zhao, act like a scumbag, the time has come to test your EQ."

I really wanted to shout: Bullshit!

Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall) had tested my EQ for several years, and I had never passed.

If I wasn't careful, the Nine-Tailed Fox would be completely turned into a vengeful spirit after a few words.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Ye Yang added: "How did you flirt with Qin Xin back then? Just do the same!"

"Bullshit!" This time I really shouted out: "I..."

I originally wanted to say: When have I ever flirted with Qin Xin?

But as the words reached my mouth, I saw the Nine-Tailed Fox's beautiful face turn into a hideous fox face.

If I said the rest of the words, wouldn't she immediately turn into a vengeful spirit?

I swallowed half of the words back and said, "When have I ever abandoned you?"

"You're a spirit body, right?"

"How can we be faster than you, even if we're fast?"

I reached out and took out the communication bronze mirror: "Take a look yourself, is this mirror closed?"

"You're holding the other half of the Yuanyang Mirror (Lovers Mirror), why can't you find us?"

"When we open the tomb door, won't you come through and find us?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox didn't speak, but her face gradually returned to its original appearance!

The resentment on her body seemed to have dissipated a bit.

Fortunately, after cutting off contact with the Nine-Tailed Fox, I had opened the secret method on the Yuanyang Mirror in time, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to fool her.

The Nine-Tailed Fox said faintly: "Are you sincerely cooperating with me?"

"Have you never thought about killing me after it's done?"

I pointed at her nose and said, "Are you still a fox? Did someone replace your brain with a pig's brain? You're willing to stay in the Yin-Yang Inn forever, but I don't have that kind of idea."

"The Yin-Yang Inn won't be verified by ghosts and gods for violating the contract, but the contract will still take effect after going out. Am I willing to be hunted down by ghosts and gods for the rest of my life? Am I too full?"

Vengeful spirits are best known for attacking their targets, but they lack rationality. After being affected by resentment, the Nine-Tailed Fox's thinking would become much slower.

I had to take advantage of her slow thinking to deceive her.

I wouldn't be able to deceive her after she woke up. If she turned into a vengeful spirit again, how could I deal with an immortal and indestructible vengeful spirit?

Could it be that I had to entangle with her all the time?
