Outside a house in Qingqiu City, a figure climbed over the wall silently. Instead of flying through the air, a flash of light appeared on his body and he transformed into Su Xiao's appearance. He strode towards the city gate. His expression and behavior were exactly the same as Su Xiao's.
He met several patrolling fox soldiers along the way, but no one dared to check his identity, so he walked out of the city in a swagger.
After sneaking in the valley for a while, there was a flash of light on "Su Xiao"'s body again, and he had returned to his original appearance. It was Hu Bugui. He turned around and looked at Qingqiu City deep in the valley. A layer of gray light covered his body, and he went out of the valley without looking back.
…
Tu Shanxue flew to the top of the mountain, only to see overgrown grass and rocks, with no trace of the altar at all.
She frowned slightly, took out the jade token given by Master Su, and was about to activate it.
Suddenly, a light flashed on the jade token, and it flew out of his hand and turned into a stream of light, flying towards the top of the mountain.
Upon seeing this, Tu Shanxue immediately followed the flowing light and chased after it. After flying more than ten feet, his eyes suddenly blurred and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. He unexpectedly appeared out of thin air on a huge snow-white altar.
The altar was surrounded by thick and tall white marble pillars with complex spiral carvings on them. On top of each pillar, there was a perpetual lamp that lit up. The flames were dim but not swaying at all.
On the floor of the altar, there is a relief image of a huge nine-tailed fairy fox.
The nine-tailed fox was crouching in an attacking posture, with nine disproportionate tails crisscrossing behind it. It looked very imposing, no less than a tiger descending the mountain.
Right behind the altar, on a wall, there was a relief mural carved. Tu Shanxue took a look and immediately discovered that it was the scene of the Fox Ancestor participating in the expedition against Chiyou with the Yellow Emperor.
After looking for a while, Tu Shanxue walked to the altar with a solemn expression, took out three fox spirit jades, found three grooves on the ground, and embedded them one by one.
The fox spirit jade returned to its place, Tu Shanxue left the altar and waited for a moment, but there was no movement at all.
While she was hesitating, the picture of the nine-tailed fairy fox in the center of the altar suddenly split apart, and a fairy fox statue as tall as a person slowly rose from the ground with a rumbling sound.
At this moment, white spiritual light emanated from the three fox spirit jades and gathered on the fairy fox statue.
Then, the runes on the dozens of white jade pillars around also lit up one after another, and the eternal lamps on the top of them shone brightly, illuminating the entire altar.
The eyes of the nine-tailed fox statue flashed with a bright light, and then a layer of vague light covered the surface.
When Tu Shanxue took a look, he felt that a larger virtual fairy fox appeared outside the statue. Naturally, he knew it was the spirit of the fox ancestor, and he immediately knelt down to worship it.
"I am Tu Shanxue, a junior, and I come to ask the ancestor to be resurrected." Tu Shanxue said respectfully.
"Do you know your crime of disturbing the ancestral spirits?" The fairy fox actually spoke in words of accusation.
"Ancestor, please forgive our unfilial descendants. The Qingqiu fox clan is now facing the danger of extinction. Please come back to life to save the fox clan." Tu Shanxue said.
As soon as the words fell, a ray of light burst out from the center of the eyebrows of the virtual fairy fox and enveloped Tu Shanxue's body.
