Jiuweihu said as she walked, "Jiang Chen and the others will have to wait a while before they can find us. We have plenty of time to set some traps for them."

I deliberately probed, "Just the three of us? Can we really set traps for Jiang Chen?"

Jiuweihu laughed, "Perhaps not anywhere else, but in the Burial Ground of Demons, we have plenty of ways to deal with Jiang Chen."

Without me asking, Jiuweihu continued, "Are the two brothers wondering why, even though I've never been to the Yin-Yang Inn, I know so much about this place?"

"This is a secret art of our fox clan!"

"As long as a fox doesn't die from a heavenly tribulation, they can preserve the secrets of their life in their burial ground."

"When another fox passes by, they can read the memories of the deceased."

"This is the secret to our fox clan's continued existence."

I turned to look at Ye Yang, but he was shaking his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know if what Jiuweihu was saying was true or not.

However, Jiuweihu's words were the only reasonable explanation right now, so I had no choice but to continue listening to her.

Jiuweihu said, "The little fox in the tomb ahead escaped into the Yin-Yang Inn to avoid disaster and settled down here. She was one of the oldest residents of the inn, but not the most powerful demon."

"She spent hundreds of years here but never had the courage to face the heavenly tribulation. When her lifespan was nearing its end, she began to choose a burial site for herself."

"At that time, this wasn't yet the Burial Ground of Demons. She was simply attracted by the scenery here because she felt it was somewhat similar to the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom where she had lived, so she decided to make it her final resting place."

"When she was building her tomb, she discovered that powerful demons were already buried here."

"Out of curiosity, she secretly opened a corner of the powerful demon's tomb. Unexpectedly, the aura of vitality that flowed out of it rejuvenated her."

"The little fox was both surprised and frightened."

"She knew that if the secret of the powerful demon's tomb were revealed, she would not only lose the treasure but also her life. So, she hastily repaired her tomb and hid inside in advance."

"She originally wanted to feign death and cultivate in the tomb for a few more years, then try to overcome the tribulation when she was confident. However, the demons in the inn took a fancy to her tomb."

"At first, she could handle the situation, but after she killed a demon of similar rank to her in the tomb, the secret of her restored peak condition could no longer be hidden."

"In the end, she was captured alive by several demons working together. To save her life, she had no choice but to reveal the secret of the aura of vitality."

"Those demons destroyed her cultivation, drove her out of the tomb, and in the end, she died alone in that tiny secret chamber."

While Jiuweihu was speaking, I was constantly analyzing whether her words were true or false.

I didn't doubt the existence of the aura of vitality.

The revival of five of the Eight Great Thieves was probably related to the aura of vitality.

However, I couldn't completely believe Jiuweihu's words.

Foxes are good at deceiving people. The more flawless the truth she tells, the more likely it is to be a trap.

I retorted, "If there's an aura of vitality here, how could it become a Burial Ground of Demons? Shouldn't the demons who opened the tomb be able to survive?"

Jiuweihu said, "According to the little fox's memory, no demon opened the demon tomb. They could only pin their hopes on the bit of aura of vitality that overflowed from the gap in the demon tomb."

"Every year, a wisp of aura of vitality would overflow from the demon tomb. This bit of spiritual energy wasn't enough for the demons to revive. Moreover, the strength of those demons was about the same, and none of them could overcome the others."

"Later, they simply came up with a relatively fair method. That was to use a formation to share the aura of vitality."

"They buried themselves near the demon tomb, guarding it like stars surrounding the moon, and sharing the aura of vitality equally."

I frowned, "How many demons are guarding the demon tomb here?"

"Twelve!" Jiuweihu said, "Perhaps more, because the memory left by the little fox only went as far as the twelve demons. As for whether any other demons entered the Burial Ground of Demons later, it didn't know."

I asked again, "Let's not talk about what happened later. I want to know, are those twelve demons alive or dead now?"

Jiuweihu said, "What I can tell you is that they are just maintaining a state where their vitality hasn't been completely extinguished."

"To use humans as an analogy, they are equivalent to what humans call a vegetative state."

"However, don't underestimate those demons just because they are in a half-dead state. Every demon has their own means of self-preservation. Since they buried themselves in a mausoleum in a place surrounded by demons, they must have a way to defend against enemies."

"Even someone as strong as Jiang Chen would suffer a great loss if he rashly broke into a demon's mausoleum."

I looked at Jiuweihu and said, "Since even Jiang Chen would suffer a loss, why do you think the two of us can take you into the demon tomb and seize the aura of vitality?"
